Forty-three stars
Hearing this, she subconsciously turned around. It was Chen Zheng and Ye Xincheng who came over. Although she didn't see many of Feng Chibai's friends, she still had some impression of them.
But the moment he finished speaking, he was given a cold look by Feng Chibai.
After all, when Lin Tang's identity was not clear at the beginning, Ye Xincheng clearly expressed that he had a good impression of Lin Tang. Now that he suddenly said this, it would be difficult not to make random guesses.
Ye Xincheng naturally realized this and quickly said with a flattering smile: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any other things, I'm just praising you."
Lin Tang didn't really care and replied generously: "Thank you, it's quite tasteful."
This was Luo Chen's annual party, after all. As one of Luo Chen's successor candidates, Feng Chibai had to help greet some guests. He happened to run into Zhao Yingxun, and Feng Chibai was very confident in him. He simply led the two of them to a place where they could sit, and told Zhao Yingxun, "Please keep an eye on her for me. Don't let her run around."
After all, he had made great efforts in his project, so Zhao Yingxun naturally didn't dare to refuse: "Okay, Mr. Feng, you are busy."
Lin Tang, on the other hand, retorted unhappily upon hearing this: "Am I a child? I'm still running around."
Feng Chibai curled his lips slightly and warned, "Don't jump into the water randomly, even though there is no swimming pool here."
Lin Tang: “…”
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yingxun stopped him in time: "Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I'll take care of it."
Lin Tang crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you two are in cahoots with each other."
With Feng Chibai around, Zhao Yingxun couldn't say anything. But as soon as Feng Chibai left, he started to bring up the past: "How dare you say that? I haven't even settled the score with you yet. You're not best friends with me, but with that..."
Zhao Yingxun thought for a long time but couldn't remember the person's name.
But Lin Tang knew who he was referring to, so he hissed and explained, "He's not the best either. We didn't keep in touch much before, and we only started contacting each other again recently when we ran into each other by chance."
"Then I don't care. People still know your nickname, Sui Sui Sui Sui. You never told me that."
It wasn't that she hadn't told Zhao Yingxun on purpose, it was just that he hadn't asked. Yu Jingming had only known her by her nickname because they were high school classmates and Grandma Lin had called her by it when she came to pick her up. She couldn't just be chatting with him and then out of nowhere say, "Hey, did you know my name is Sui Sui?"
That's so strange.
She sighed and grumbled, "Oh, why are you men so annoying? You always need someone to coax you."
But this immediately triggered Zhao Yingxun's radar again: "What? Who needs coaxing? He's already your best friend, and he still needs coaxing."
When he didn't find a specific candidate, he gave the position to Yu Jingming.
Lin Tang frowned: "What are you talking about? I'm talking about Feng Chibai."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yingxun's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze unconsciously fell behind her.
Lin Tang followed his gaze in confusion and saw Feng Chibai had walked behind her without her knowing.
But she wasn't embarrassed. After all, this wasn't her first time doing it. She could even openly confess, "Hey, I was saying bad things about you."
He hadn't expected her to be so honest, so Zhao Yingxun hurriedly distanced himself from the matter: "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Feng. I'm not in cahoots with her."
There was no anger on Feng Chibai's face. He handed a sign to Lin Tang with a number written on it, which would be used for the lottery later.
But I just took one.
Zhao Yingxun blinked eagerly. This place was still some distance away from the place where he could get a number. He was too lazy to walk that far, so he tried to argue for his legitimate rights in a nice tone: "Boss Feng, why is there only one sign here? I've been helping you look for a long time."
Lin Tang skillfully placed his arm on Feng Chibai's shoulders and said in a timid tone, "Of course my husband only helps me carry it."
The moment the voice stopped, the overhead lights suddenly went out, leaving only the dance floor area with dim lights.
On the dance floor, as the music changed, several people automatically formed pairs to dance ballroom dance.
Lin Tang finally understood that this was also part of the event planning.
She took a sip of wine and watched the dance with great interest. This was the first time she had seen it live, and it was very novel.
However, an inopportune voice suddenly rang out: "Aren't you two old friends going to join in the fun?"
Lin Tang glanced at Zhao Yingxun and quickly found an excuse to refute: "Forget it, I can't dance. Our CEO Feng is so handsome and talented. He is definitely the image ambassador of the group. If I embarrass him, it would be a serious sin."
"It's not shameful." Feng Chibai replied without thinking.
Lin Tang looked at him in shock. No, he really wanted to jump. But the next second, he added quietly, "Besides, someone is watching."
After his reminder, she suddenly noticed that not far from the dance floor, Xu Jianyun's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally cast in her direction. Ever since yesterday's incident, Lin Tang knew that, at least for the near future, she would definitely collect various evidence of their fake marriage.
After all, the two of them are on the same front in this matter. If her comrade is in trouble, she still has to help solve it.
Then she raised her lips, her bright red lips looking bright and bold. She stretched out her hand, palm facing down, and motioned Feng Chibai to hold her hand.
Under Xu Jianyun's scrutiny, the two naturally came to the dance floor.
Lin Tang really couldn't dance, and could only move forward and backward stiffly according to Feng Chibai's instructions. Fortunately, the light here was not very bright, and everyone was immersed in their own dancing, so if they were to embarrass themselves, it would only be in front of Xu Jianyun.
The moment she turned around and put her arm around his shoulder again, Lin Tang turned her back to Xu Jianyun. She whispered, "Are you still watching? Why do you feel like a thief?"
Feng Chibai nodded.
Lin Tang really didn't like the feeling of being stared at. It was as if there were surveillance cameras on her and her every move was visible to everyone, which was very irritating.
She curled her lip in displeasure, and an idea popped into her head. After all, it was quite unpleasant to be on guard against her back and forth, so it would be better to dispel her doubts once and for all.
So she raised the hand that was on Feng Chibai's shoulder and placed it on his cheek, saying, "Then give her a little shock."
"What?"
Feng Chibai hadn't reacted to what she said, but the next second, the person in front of him suddenly moved close to him.
She turned her little face to the side and kissed his thumb with her lips, with a faint smile on her face, and her warm breath sprinkled on the side of his face.
In just a moment, the original distance was restored.
Lin Tang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, that's how it was played in TV dramas. She even said smugly, "This way, there won't be any suspicion, right? We've already kissed."
Feng Chibai stared at her bright smile, his breathing suddenly became unstable, his deep eyes tried to avoid her sight as much as possible, and his heart was beating fast.
He is so heartless and acts on his own initiative.
The dance ended and the lights in the hall came back on.
Under the light and shadow, the sequins on the champagne-colored dress began to work, making her look dazzling.
On the way back to her original seat, several people's eyes unconsciously fell on her.
But she didn't notice it, and was only thinking about finding Zhao Yingxun to get her number plate back.
The next step after the ballroom dance is the lucky draw.
Although Lin Tang was not interested in Luo Chen's prize, if his number was drawn, anyone would be very happy for a while, as if they were blessed by the goddess of luck.
However, the goddess of luck did not come to her today.
There were so many first, second and third prizes, but none of them belonged to her.
Lin Tang accepted his fate.
I was still a little bit depressed on the way back, but I got over it quickly.
There was a check for half a million dollars and a bank card with an unknown balance lying in the room of the old house. She barely comforted herself that it was the special prize she had won.
The car stopped.
Feng Chibai got out of the car first. He walked around to the other side and opened the door for her. But before she got out, he asked, "Does your foot still hurt?"
Lin Tang didn't pretend with him: "Isn't this nonsense? You danced for so long just to fool her."
My feet are about to be broken.
Suddenly, Feng Chibai bent down and helped her take off her high heels, the heels of her feet were already rubbed red.
The next second, he carried her out of the car.
This time, he was awake. Lin Tang widened his eyes in shock and asked stammeringly, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say your feet hurt?" Feng Chibai said in a calm tone, as if this was not a strange thing for him.
After all, someone even dared to fool around with a kiss on the face.
But Lin Tang adapted quickly; not having to walk in those rubbing high heels was a good thing for her. She hugged his neck and for no reason began to think about the lottery, muttering to herself, "Strange, why did my luck suddenly fail?"
She suddenly looked at Feng Chibai and asked, "You are the one who stole all my good luck, aren't you?"
He remained silent. She gritted her teeth, as if determined, and raised her free hand, waving it back and forth in front of him, muttering, "I'll suck it back for you."
"Sui Sui." Feng Chibai finally spoke, but his smile was malicious. "If you keep arguing, I'll throw you into the water."
Lin Tang: “…”
This was the first time in her life that she was threatened like this, and it really threatened her.
She hid in his arms sullenly and said nothing.
*
On Wednesday, after Ying Yu sorted out the materials that Lin Tang had given him, he brought the printed paper version into Lin Tang's office.
Lin Tang was preparing for the experiment in the afternoon and had no time to look up at him.
Finally finding some free time, Ying Yu sat down across from her to rest. Seeing Lin Tang's eyes fixed on the computer screen, her brows furrowed, he knew she'd been incredibly busy with the project these past few days, her nerves on edge. He feigned seriousness and said, "Boss, I've figured out a way to reduce the noise."
This sound suddenly drew Lin Tang's attention to him. She slid her swivel chair closer to him and said in surprise, "Oh, you're sitting so straight. You're so handsome and so smart, what's going on? Come on, tell me your thoughts in detail."
In stark contrast to his previous indifference, Lin Tang seemed to have changed his expression.
Ying Yu pursed his lips, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said nothing.
Lin Tang was puzzled: "Why, this method still needs to be used to guard against me?"
After a long silence, Ying Yu slowly said, "Boss, happy April Fools' Day."
Lin Tang's expression immediately fell, and he sat back in front of his computer to continue working. He said lightly, "You look like a fool. Please get out. Thank you."
Ying Yu gave a sheepish laugh, half propping up his head, and suddenly began to think: "Do you think anyone will use this as an excuse to confess their love to me today? Even you think I'm handsome."
Lin Tang didn't even turn her head, her mouth spitting out poisonous words: "No, I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously, after all, other girls wouldn't have their eyes covered with eye boogers."
Ying Yu choked, regretting his humiliation in provoking her. He switched targets and asked, "What if I'm using this as an excuse to confess my feelings to you?"
Lin Tang instantly changed his answer: "It's reasonable and excusable."
Thinking of someone, Ying Yu was obviously shocked by her answer: "Boss, you are quite brave."
Lin Tang knew what he was referring to and replied nonchalantly, "It's his honor that his wife is so popular."
Ying Yu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
After finishing the data processing at around 1:00 p.m., together with several researchers from Country M, we went into the laboratory to conduct preliminary tests on the improvement directions that we had discussed together.
However, because his attention was too focused on the laboratory table, Lin Tang did not notice that his arm was very close to the sharp blade. The moment the blade turned, a red mark instantly appeared on his clothes, and a wound was cut on the skin inside.
Fortunately, there was a layer of cloth blocking it, so the wound was not very deep, only about seven or eight centimeters long.
I didn't feel anything when the bleeding started, but when it subsided, the pain came up slowly, a sharp pain.
She was very calm. There were first aid kits in the institute, and she had learned some treatment methods before. She applied medicine to the wound skillfully and wrapped it with gauze.
It's just that her bandaging technique was not very good and the way it was bandaged was weird.
But she didn't take it to heart. After finishing the simple treatment, she returned to the lab. After all, everyone was in a hurry, and she didn't want this little incident to delay the overall progress.
Fortunately, this experiment went smoothly and was even completed half an hour ahead of schedule.
Because of the razor blade wound on her arm, Director Yuan had agreed that she didn't need to stay until after work was over. However, Lin Tang had no concept of time before, and she didn't know what time Feng Chibai usually came to pick her up. Now, she stood alone at the entrance of the institute, like a waiting man waiting for her husband.
It had been raining in Huaizhou that afternoon, and by now it was already pouring heavily. She had forgotten to check the weather forecast when she left in the morning, and she didn't have an umbrella with her, so she could only hide under the awning and wait for someone to come over with one.
But before Feng Chibai arrived, Yu Jingming appeared in his sight.
