He suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence, as if he was choosing his words carefully.
Shi Heng's slender fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, and the rhythm became faster and faster.
Gu Youran keenly noticed the change in her husband's mood and gently held his hand.
"It's Bai Xiangning." Lu Yichen finally uttered the name.
"Bai Xiangning?" Shi Heng frowned slightly.
In his heart, he could never remember unimportant women.
"He's the fifth-generation heir of the Bai family perfume who resigned two months ago."
Shi Heng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
It turned out to be the woman who deliberately tried to get close to Youbao.
"She is now the chief perfumer of 'Magic Mirror Fragrance' in Country Y." Lu Yichen's voice was filled with unconcealed shock.
Hang up the phone.
Gu Youran asked with concern, "What happened to Bai Xiangning?"
She hadn't seen Bai Xiangning since they parted at Yuncheng Hospital two months ago, and Shi Heng had never mentioned her.
Shi Heng picked up a piece of fish for her with a normal expression and said, "Eat first. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
After lunch, Shi Heng took Gu Youran's hand and sat on the sofa.
His slender fingers gently stroked the back of her hand and told her the whole story.
"Remember the explosion at the perfume workshop two months ago? Those flying debris, and Bai Xiangning's so-called 'standing up to protect'..."
Gu Youran's eyes widened. "You mean, she designed all of that?"
"Um."
Shi Heng nodded, "To get close to you, and then get close to me through you."
Gu Youran was stunned at first, then he understood.
She tilted her head, her eyes lingering on Shi Heng's handsome face with sharp edges, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"That's right. What woman wouldn't be tempted by a man as outstanding as Mr. Shi?"
Fortunately, she was decisive enough at the time and agreed to the flash marriage without saying a word.
When Shi Heng heard this, the smile in his eyes deepened.
He reached out to tidy up the loose hair by Gu Youran's ear, his fingers brushing against her sensitive earlobe. "Then my Youbao must keep a close eye on me."
Gu Youran only felt the tips of her ears burning and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
Shi Heng took out his cell phone, and two completely different logos were displayed on the screen.
Above is the upright Platycodon grandiflorum with the name "Xiang Yue Tian Cheng", which is elegant and dignified.
Below is an inverted gentian, with the petals facing downwards, exuding an indescribable sense of weirdness.
"This is..." Gu Youran unconsciously moved closer to the screen.
Shi Heng's finger gently touched the inverted logo, "The flower language of Platycodon grandiflorum is 'eternal love'."
His voice suddenly turned cold, "And the upside-down Kikyo..."
There seemed to be a moment of stagnation in the air.
"It represents betrayal."
Bai Xiangning was declaring war on Shi Heng in the most straightforward way.
Gu Youran stared at the screen in a daze. "The flower language of Platycodon grandiflorus is 'eternal love'... Han Jingchen also planted nine colors of Platycodon grandiflorum for me, but in the end..."
In the end, he still chose his white moonlight Xia Ke.
Shi Heng's eyes darkened, and he gently lifted her chin with his fingers, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I'm different from him."
He stroked her soft lips with his thumb and said firmly, "The 'Seven Days of Dreams' Platycodon series will always belong to you alone."
Gu Youran felt warm in her heart and was about to speak when Shi Heng leaned over.
Their breaths intertwined, just as their lips were about to touch.
Assistant Qin's voice sounded outside the door at an inopportune time, "Mr. Shi, Mr. Tan has been waiting in the conference room for a long time."
Shi Heng paused and glanced at his watch. The hour hand was pointing to two o'clock.
A trace of regret flashed in his eyes. This was the second time that Assistant Qin had ruined his plans today.
He took a deep breath and pecked Gu Youran on the lips. "Go to my office first. I'll be back soon."
Walking out of the restaurant, Shi Heng glanced coldly at Assistant Qin.
Assistant Qin touched his nose and looked at the president's unsatisfied expression, groaning in his heart.
He doesn't want to be a light bulb!
…
Shi Heng pushed open the door of the conference room and saw Tan Fei already sitting inside waiting.
He had just sat down across from the conference table when there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in." Shi Heng flipped through the documents without even looking up.
Ke Yang stood outside the door and took a deep breath. When he pushed the door open, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
I just arrived in Beijing last night and was promoted by Mr. Shi to be the project manager. I didn’t expect that I would have to attend an important meeting this afternoon.
He was holding the materials he had sorted out overnight in his arms.
Mr. Shi specially arranged a single dormitory for him in Kangrui Hospital. Compared with the dark and damp rental house in Yuncheng, this place is like a five-star hotel.
He stayed up almost all night for today's meeting, and his notebook was filled with dense handwriting.
"Sorry I'm late."
The moment Ke Yang pushed the door open, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
The person sitting in the conference room was actually Tan Min’s brother Tan Fei!
“Bang!”
Tan Fei slammed the pen in his hand onto the table.
The phone call from my mother half an hour ago is still ringing in my ears.
"That ignorant brat actually dared to make a bet that he could earn three million in a month!"
In the background sound of the phone, my sister Tan Min's hoarse voice was particularly harsh.
"I don't care about any bets! I will never marry anyone except Ke Yang in this life!"
What shocked him the most was that Shi Heng actually handed over the hemostatic gel project, a product that could revolutionize the pharmaceutical market, to this greenhorn in front of him!
"sit."
Shi Heng broke the silence and motioned Ke Yang to sit on his right.
This subtle seating arrangement made Tan Fei's eyes twitch violently.
