Forty-two stars
This sound reminded Feng Chibai and Xu Jianyun of the purpose of their visit. Feng Xing's unintentional words would always be remembered by a few people, especially those who wanted to bring him down.
He closely watched the man's every move on the screen and chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't be so stupid as to expose myself openly for others to find."
His eyes suddenly dropped down and met hers: "It's Sui Sui."
Lin Tang spoke to him seriously, a rare moment: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
After signing the contract, she never took her share home. It was currently lying in the safe at the institute, and she was the only one who had the key.
After receiving a positive answer, Feng Chibai slowly withdrew his gaze and said to his assistant, "It's time to properly train the staff at Yunhe."
Who should be released and who shouldn't be released? And why wasn't the office door locked after he left? It's a really big problem.
The assistant nodded quickly: "I'll arrange it right away."
All the way back to the suite, Feng Chibai still had a stern face because of what had just happened.
Lin Tang had to work overtime at home these days even when she left the institute. The study was stuffy and she didn't want to stay there, and the table in the suite's living room wasn't high enough, so she had to go back to her old routine and sit on the carpet.
Halfway through her work, her brows knitted together, and she felt a tightness in her chest. Unable to bear it any longer, she closed her computer and tried to relax.
I suddenly remembered that there was still half a bottle of plum wine left here. After all, I had told him to quit drinking in a threatening manner before. If I broke the promise right away, it would seem that I had no perseverance.
So I have to find a reasonable excuse.
She turned around and saw Feng Chibai looking at the documents intently, and then she thought about waiting.
When he was about to turn around, he noticed it, slowly raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Tang pursed his lips and laughed a few times. He gestured with his fingers and said calmly, "Feng Chibai, can I not give up drinking today? You know, I've been overwhelmed with work these past two days, and my brain needs a break. Plus, as you saw this afternoon, I drank so much coffee that I'm sure I won't be able to sleep tonight. I don't want to disturb you, so I can only drink a little wine to offset the pressure."
The second half of the sentence wasn't something she'd thought of beforehand; it just popped up in her head while she was speaking. She suddenly felt like a genius; this excuse was too perfect, absolutely impeccable.
She is so considerate and considerate of him, there is no need to be moved, this is what she should do.
But he didn't know whether Feng Chibai had thought about it in this way, so he just casually replied: "Drink if you want."
People have said so, if Lin Tang doesn’t drink it, he would be a fool.
She took out the bottle of plum wine from the kitchen, poured herself a glass, and then kindly asked him if he wanted some.
It didn’t matter if the other party rejected her invitation, as this little bit of wine was not enough for her to drink.
Maybe it was because he hadn't had it for a long time, Lin Tang became more and more addicted and drank most of the bottle in one breath.
At first I didn’t react much, but I felt full of energy again, and I was eager to turn on the computer and continue working.
Then, before I even finished entering the password, the effects of the alcohol came back to me belatedly.
Originally, this amount of wine was not enough to make her drunk, but perhaps because she had not drunk for a long time, her alcohol tolerance decreased, her mind suddenly began to feel dizzy, and her nerves began to be paralyzed without any warning, forcing her to bury her head between her knees and relax.
Feng Chibai caught a glimpse of her abnormality. He closed the file and asked in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"
Lin Tang didn't raise his head, but held out a hand to indicate that he was still conscious: "I'm high."
His eyes casually glanced to the side, landing on the empty bottle of plum wine, and he frowned slightly. Then he stood up, carried her to sit on the sofa, and walked to the kitchen.
After a while, he came back with a cup of honey water. He sat next to her and handed the honey water to her: "Drink this."
Lin Tang had never felt so dizzy before, and she almost lost her judgment. She closed her eyes and didn't ask what it was. She just drank whatever he gave her.
After one drink, her condition hadn't improved much, and her hands and feet were starting to feel weak. She rested her forehead against Feng Chibai's arm in frustration, her voice a little disoriented, "Damn it! How could I be so dizzy? Does plum wine get better the longer it ages?"
Seeing her blushing cheeks, Feng Chibai reached out to measure her temperature, but just as his palm touched her face, she tilted her head and a warm kiss landed right on his palm.
However, she didn't notice anything.
As if she had finally found a comfortable position, she stopped moving.
In an instant, two breathing sounds of different frequencies intertwined.
But soon, one of them seemed to be suppressed deliberately and gradually became lighter.
After squinting for a while, Lin Tang felt that it was time for bed. It was just a joke, but who would have thought that after drinking, he would really feel sleepy.
She staggered down from the sofa, but it was a little beyond her expectation that after taking just two steps, her body became unstable and was about to fall to the side.
The next second, a big hand reached out from behind and grabbed her waist in time, holding her in place.
As if he had found a support point, Lin Tang leaned back without hesitation and bumped into his chest.
She took a few deep breaths, her voice still floating: "Brother, please help me."
She had wanted him to help her over, but he didn't seem to understand her intention. Almost at the moment she finished speaking, her body was suddenly suspended in the air and was lifted up horizontally. Fearing that she would fall, she subconsciously put her arms around his neck.
After a moment, her back fell onto a soft, large bed. Finally, she could close her eyes peacefully, without any worries. She let her consciousness fade and drifted off to sleep.
She had a very good sleep quality, especially with the help of alcohol, and soon there was no sound except for her shallow breathing.
Feng Chibai half-knelt in front of her, staring at her quietly for a long time, and whispered, "I don't know who has no conscience."

When Lin Tang woke up the next day, she saw Feng Chibai lying next to her. She subconsciously glanced at the wall clock, thinking she had woken up too early, but it was almost ten o'clock.
The man next to her seemed to notice her movements and slowly opened his eyes without any drowsiness, as if he had been awake for a long time.
But Lin Tang didn't notice this. She tutted her tongue twice and said, "Oh, you can sleep so late too."
Feng Chibai glanced at her calmly: "Someone seems to be too dependent on me, making it difficult for me to help or not help."
After this reminder, Lin Tang finally realized that her sleeping position was not correct. She was used to sleeping on her side, but usually with her back to him. However, she was sleeping so soundly last night that she didn't know what happened in the middle of the night. She lay with her arms and one leg pressed against him, like she was holding a doll.
Lin Tang felt awkward for a moment. She replied awkwardly and illogically, "You stingy guy! You don't even want to be hugged."
Then he quickly turned over and planned to lie down for a while.
As soon as her hands and feet that were pressing on him were removed, Feng Chibai quickly sat up without being restrained. Because his arms were a little numb from being pressed, he stretched his muscles and reminded her, "Get up early. You will have to try on the dress later. Luo Chen is holding an anniversary celebration tonight, and you have to attend it too."
Hearing this, Lin Tang immediately straightened up and asked, "Why didn't you tell me last night?"
Feng Chibai's eyes slightly shifted, and when they met, he suddenly smiled: "What did I tell you last night?"
He was so drunk that he couldn't hear a word, and even if he said something this morning, he might not remember it.
Lin Tang struggled to get up, then thought of something and refused, "No, it's too dangerous. I'll fall into the water if I go."
She had finally figured out the pattern. On ordinary days, she never encountered any trouble, but she had only attended two banquets, and both times she had fallen into the water by coincidence. Although she had jumped herself once, she still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it.
Feng Chibai said indifferently, "It won't happen this time. Just don't run around."
The implication is that you can't refuse.
After lunch, Feng Chibai had several custom-made dresses delivered. Since Lin Tang was free this time, she let her pick out one she liked.
The clothing consultant matched a total of five sets of clothes, from accessories to dresses, for Lin Tang to choose from. However, compared to the dresses he had chosen the previous two times, the sets this time seemed to be more... revealing.
Either it has a wide open back or it has a tube top.
Although Lin Tang is not a particularly conservative person, he has never tried this type of clothes before, so it is inevitable that he feels a little awkward.
The clothing consultant saw her embarrassment and casually picked up a suit and introduced it to her, "Ms. Lin, you have such a great figure. This suit will really complement your curves. You can try it on."
It was a champagne-colored slim-fitting halter fishtail dress with several thin long chains extending from the arms.
Lin Tang pursed his lips and looked at Feng Chibai.
He hadn't seen these suits beforehand, but this one looked very suitable for her, so he said, "Would you like to try it on?"
Lin Tang had originally wanted him to refuse on her behalf, but he had misunderstood. Gritting his teeth, he smiled and stiffly took the dress from the fashion consultant.
About five minutes later, the sliding door of the fitting room opened and Lin Tang walked out with his chest half covered.
The dress came with a pair of matching silver high heels, but she wasn't very skilled at walking yet, and she managed to walk towards him in a staggering manner.
Her waist was very thin, and the skirt clung to her waist perfectly, without any unnecessary design. The flowing silver chain extending from the suspenders hung down, covering her arms and swaying.
Feng Chibai was stunned for a moment, but quickly looked away, pretending to check his phone. He pursed his lips again and slowly raised his eyes: "Do you want to try something else?"
This dress was considered to be one that didn't reveal much underneath, at least it had suspenders to support it. Therefore, upon hearing this, Lin Tang quickly decided not to order the dress, eager to finish this fitting session as soon as possible.
Luochen Group’s anniversary celebration started at 6:30 in the evening.
In the car before going to the hotel banquet hall, Lin Tang wrapped a shawl around himself and began to discuss with Feng Chibai: "Hey, can we find a place to sit down first? My feet hurt a little bit."
She was not used to wearing high heels. She always felt that the shoes were rubbing against her heels and were deliberately going against her.
Feng Chibai also took this into consideration and replied, "Don't worry, there's a place to sit."
Lin Tang breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something and asked, "Since it's the annual meeting, will there be a lottery? Can I win? I'm actually pretty lucky."
Feng Chibai still patiently replied: "There is a lottery, everyone can win if you participate."
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Lin Tang held Feng Chibai's arm tightly, fearing that he would take one more step than him.
The two of them went over to greet the old man first. Not only were there people from the Luochen Group, but there were also some business partners who had worked together for many years. Since they were all guests, they were welcome. So after a few simple words, Feng Siru took the old man's arm and went over to greet those old friends who had known each other for many years.
When Lin Tang was searching for a place to sit, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him: "Sister-in-law is so beautiful today."
