Ye Huanhuan's heart started racing involuntarily. She lowered her head, not daring to look Tang Yi in the eye.
"Miss Ye, I am very interested in you."
Tang Yi made no attempt to hide his intentions. He sat down next to Ye Huanhuan, slowly leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I want to understand you more deeply."
Ye Huanhuan stiffened. She could feel Tang Yi's hot breath on her ear, making her heart itch.
"Mr. Tang, please have some self-respect!" Ye Huanhuan suddenly stood up and distanced herself from Tang Yi.
Tang Yi's lips curled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about Ye Huanhuan's rejection. He said slowly, "I was just stating my true feelings. Why is Miss Ye so agitated?"
Ye Huanhuan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "If Mr. Tang has nothing else to say, I think I should go back."
"Miss Ye, please don't leave yet."
Tang Yi stood up and blocked Ye Huanhuan's path. "We can also talk about cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Ye Huanhuan looked at Tang Yi with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, cooperation.” A shrewd glint flashed in Tang Yi’s eyes. “Isn’t your father competing for a land project in the Dream New District? I can lend you a hand.”
Ye Huanhuan was somewhat moved. She had just returned to the Ye family, and if she could help Ye Haiming secure this land project, she would be able to gain a foothold in the Ye family.
In this way, her own value will be fully realized, and she might even attract Ye Haiming's attention!
"What are your conditions?" Ye Huanhuan stared at Tang Yi warily.
Tang Yi stared intently at her, his eyes flashing with a strong possessiveness, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
"My request is actually very simple: I just want you to be my girlfriend."
"Mr. Tang, why don't you change your terms?"
Ye Huanhuan refused without hesitation. Ever since her divorce, she no longer believed in love, let alone pretending to be a couple with a stranger.
Tang Yi, however, calmly said, "Miss Ye, don't rush to refuse. Becoming my girlfriend won't be a loss for you."
"I don't understand why you had to do this. That night was just a misunderstanding..."
Tang Yi's eyes were fixed on Ye Huanhuan, each step he took carried a strong sense of pressure, and his voice was deep and powerful:
"Miss Ye, you were the one who made advances towards me first, and now you're telling me it's all a misunderstanding? Don't you think your explanation is too far-fetched?"
Ye Huanhuan's eyes flickered slightly. She tried to remain calm, but her voice still trembled slightly as she answered:
"Mr. Tang, since you were able to get my phone number, you must know a lot about my past, right? I am a divorced woman, and I am infertile. My previous offense was merely a foolish act I made while drunk. I really don't understand what your purpose is?"
"Purpose?"
Tang Yi's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly:
"Perhaps I just find you a very interesting person and want to get to know you better."
He emphasized the word "in-depth" with a hint of ambiguity in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Ye Huanhuan's cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart raced involuntarily. A strange feeling welled up inside her, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
“Mr. Tang, please have some self-respect. I am not that kind of woman who does things casually.” She looked at Tang Yi with a serious expression and said.
"Oh? So... does that mean you're the kind of woman who becomes inhuman once you start acting casually?" Tang Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a teasing smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Huanhuan's cheeks turned even redder, as if they were about to bleed.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“Mr. Tang, I cannot agree to your request. If you just want someone to play this fake couple game with you, you only need to say one word and there will definitely be many women willing to come up to you. There is no need to come to me.”
However, Tang Yi gently shook his head and replied firmly, "You're right, but their name isn't Ye Huanhuan."
Ye Huanhuan froze, staring blankly at Tang Yi, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. After a moment, she bit her lip and said:
"Mr. Tang, since you insist on this, I feel there's no need to continue this meal. I'll excuse myself from keeping you company!" With that, she stood up and prepared to leave the private room.
"Miss Ye is really heartless."
Tang Yi slowly composed himself, abandoning his nonchalant attitude. He pulled a tightly sealed file folder from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Ye Huanhuan with his finger, saying:
"There's something else inside; consider it a small gift from me to Miss Ye. Since you have no intention of becoming my girlfriend, I won't force you. However, if Miss Ye has any needs in the future, please feel free to let me know, and I will do my best to fulfill all your requests."
After saying that, Tang Yi stood up first, turned around and left without looking back, leaving Ye Huanhuan standing there in a daze.
Ye Huanhuan stared at the mysterious file folder on the table, lost in thought.
After a moment, she finally reached out and picked up the file bag, carefully opened it, and saw a small USB drive and several sheets of paper with detailed dates.
After reading the information recorded on the paper, Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but gasp.
These are actually Xu Lu and Zeng Tianlong's hotel booking records!
Zeng Tianlong?
Isn't that man Xu Lu's ex-boyfriend?
Ye Huanhuan flipped through the records page by page and found that the dates were all concentrated within the last six months.
Even three days after her divorce from Song Lin, the two were still in contact.
Ye Huanhuan frowned, a flood of doubts welling up in her heart.
Could it be... that Xu Lu is not carrying Song Lin's child, but Zeng Tianlong's?
But why would the other party send these things to her?
Could it be that he really wants to help me?
But what was his purpose?
Was it simply because she had a one-night stand with him?
