Thirteen stars
She slowly calmed down, pursed her lips, and said nothing. She was the type of person who would give in to soft words and not be harsh, and she especially couldn't stand seeing others cry. It seemed that other people's bad experiences could arouse her emotions more than her own.
The room was silent for a long time. She felt a lump in her throat and said calmly, "Just eating?"
Although she didn't know whether the situation was true, she chose to believe him for once.
Just like when she was eleven years old, even though she had doubts, she chose to believe her father's words.
Seeing that there was room for negotiation, Feng Yunjing immediately replied: "Well, just eating."
There was another silence.
After a while, Lin Tang slowly withdrew his hand and said softly, "Okay, I promise you."
"real?"
After hearing the promise clearly, Feng Yunjing was a little unsure.
Lin Tang's expression was clearly still not improving, but he remained polite and said, "I won't bother you any further. I'm leaving now."
"Then I'll take you back."
"Need not."
Her words were so decisive that they cut off all his further words. Before he could even get up, she had already opened the door and left.
Once again, there was only one person left in the studio.
He stared at the door she closed, feeling mixed emotions.
In the end, he still couldn't tell her the truth.
But in the situation just now, perhaps hiding it would be possible to make her agree.
The shaky balance finally tilted hesitantly to one side.
In an instant, he suddenly didn't know how to face her after that day.
But he also secretly thought in his heart that since she could agree to him this time, then if he explained it later, she might choose to forgive him.
Xiao Luo was right, maybe she was just a soft-hearted person.
All of a sudden, the panic in my heart was reduced a little.
He forced a smile as if nothing was wrong, but he was a little stiff when he picked up the phone.
The screen stayed on the chat interface with her for a moment, and he finally chose to send a message: I'll pick you up this Sunday afternoon.
There was no immediate response to the message.
It wasn't until the early morning that the other end finally replied with a "OK".

On Thursday night, Feng Chibai arrived at the Astronomical Research Institute without even saying hello. She had intended to take Lin Tang home, but she had to work overtime that night, so she declined.
However, Feng Chibai had no intention of leaving. He stayed for a while under the pretext of following up on the product situation. Seeing that Lin Tang was going to the cafeteria to eat, he followed him.
Sitting at the side, Lin Tang looked at the man sitting opposite him and couldn't help laughing: "I thought that Mr. Feng had all kinds of delicacies every day."
Feng Chibai slowly swallowed a mouthful of rice, smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to think of me as so extraordinary."
The cafeteria was still a bit noisy at this time, but this area was plunged into silence.
After a while, Feng Chibai put down his chopsticks and looked up at the man in front of him, his eyes filled with an ambiguous meaning. After a few seconds, he asked, "I heard there's a meteor shower this Sunday. Do you want to go see it together?"
He looked natural and always hid his true thoughts well.
Lin Tang had almost finished her meal. She folded her arms and leaned back, raising her eyes as if remembering something: "I have an appointment this Sunday, so I might spoil Mr. Feng's fun."
"That's really a pity." Although he said it was a pity, his face did not show such expression at all.
It seemed like he asked this question suddenly on a whim.
Lin Tang found it funny: "What a pity? I remember that Mr. Feng didn't go there just to watch the meteor shower last time."
Feng Chibai's eyebrows arched, and he hummed frankly, "Not this time either."
After dinner, Lin Tang returned to the office to continue sorting out the documents. As for where Feng Chibai had gone, she wasn't interested in knowing.
It was only around nine o'clock, when she came out of the spectroscopy room after testing the data, that she accidentally glanced down from the railing on the second floor and found that he had not left yet.
At this moment, he was sitting in the leisure area with his eyes closed and some documents in front of him.
She stared quietly for a few seconds and was about to leave, but Ying Yu followed her and looked in the direction of her gaze. She noticed Feng Chibai who was resting with his eyes closed.
He asked with confusion and curiosity: "Is Mr. Feng waiting for you to get off work? Boss, did you two have a conversation?"
The first time they met, it was clear they weren't familiar with each other. Later, it seemed like they had a disagreement, and Lin Tang ruthlessly gave him the cold shoulder in public. But less than a month later, President Feng was picking her up from work and treating her with kindness, and their relationship didn't seem to be strained.
He really wanted to know what happened in the meantime.
Lin Tang glanced at him and chuckled twice: "Believe it or not, I told you we're married."
Ying Yu choked, blinked, and replied obediently and helplessly, "I don't believe it."
This is really a bit nonsense.
Her gaze returned to the man below her. Her long brows held a scrutinizing look. She whispered to the man beside her, "Hey, how much do you know about him?"
Ying Yu frowned and said, "Can't you search for it on the Internet?"
As a prominent entrepreneur, he naturally received numerous interviews and reports. Furthermore, the Feng family was a large family, with many eyes watching, and most of the information was clearly exposed to the public.
Lin Tang raised his hand to make a stop gesture and muttered, "Then let's not search, it will show how much I care about him."
"Then why are you asking?" Ying Yu choked again and changed his mind: "Then let me help you search?"
Lin Tang hissed, "It feels weird too. Could you please not say it out loud?"
Ying Yu laughed dryly and said, "Then I'll search secretly."
While they were talking, Feng Chibai had opened his eyes. He was always very sensitive to his surroundings, and in just a moment, his eyes fell on the figure on the second floor.
The moment their eyes met, Lin Tang was the first to look away. She coughed unnaturally and didn't linger any longer.
After returning to the office and packing up her things, she pretended to be calm and went downstairs.
Feng Chibai was still sitting there, his face a little tired. Lin Tang walked up to him slowly and leaned forward slightly: "Hey, Mr. Feng, you're so tired, why don't you leave?"
The moment he saw her, he would always put on a smile, even if it was fake. He hummed, his tone calm, "A qualified businessman will never put in too much effort before achieving his goal."
Lin Tang chuckled. It was the first time she'd ever seen someone openly tell her before using her. She straightened up and looked down at him. "If I refuse to let you take me home, then your waiting tonight will be in vain."
Hearing this, Feng Chibai was not flustered, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Sui Sui...is not a person who can be so cruel."
This is the conclusion he has drawn over the past few days.
Lin Tang was used to his habit of constantly saying her nickname, and though she looked irritated, she didn't object. She looked away uncomfortably, not waiting for him, and walked out alone.
There were footsteps behind her, a short distance away from her, neither fast nor slow, almost moving in the same direction as her.
As she was about to reach a car, the sound of it unlocking was heard, and she naturally opened the back door and got in. Within a few seconds, someone opened the door on the other side and got in.
The driver was driving in front and the car was very quiet throughout the journey.
She closed her eyes and rested. Occasionally, she could hear the sound of papers rustling beside her, but it was not obvious.
The Institute of Astronomy was not far from where she lived, and the car stopped after a while.
She opened her eyes just in time, and the man beside her had already glanced sideways at her. They exchanged a glance, saying nothing. But as she got out of the car and was about to close the door, a voice rang out from inside: "Lin Tang, good night."
She paused, raised her eyebrows, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Why did President Feng suddenly say such disgusting words?"
The car was brighter than outside, but Feng Chibai felt that the light seemed to fall more on her face. Thinking of her previous answer, he felt a sense of certainty in his heart, and said with a hint of joy: "Because I have a feeling that you will agree to me."
Those sharp eyes softened at this moment, their gaze fixed on the face of the man outside the car.
The sounds of cars roared around them, and the night wind ruffled her hair. It then rushed into the car through the opening she had opened and lingered around him.
After a moment of silence, Lin Tang suddenly laughed: "Boss Feng is quite confident."
This time, without giving him a chance to reply, she closed the car door.
The night wind is isolated.
The moment she turned around, she casually grabbed her hair, the smile on her face still not fading.
She doesn't seem to be in a bad mood today.

On Sunday afternoon, Feng Yunjing picked her up downstairs in the community on time.
It was just a simple meal, so Lin Tang didn't dress up specially. He just did whatever he felt most comfortable with.
Besides the two of them, Xiao Luo was also in the car. Because Feng Yunjing had just come out of the studio, and his car happened to be in for repairs in the past two days, he asked Xiao Luo to give him a ride.
Lin Tang was sitting in the back seat. He had just returned from the research institute at noon and had not had time to take a nap. He felt a little tired at the moment, so he leaned against the back cushion and closed his eyes to rest.
Feng Yunjing sat next to her, his eyes occasionally turning towards her until they were almost at the restaurant, when he couldn't help but say, "Are you feeling unwell? I'm sorry to bother you on this weekend."
Her eyelids were still closed, but there was no complaint in her tone: "It's okay, it's nice to have someone treat you to a meal."
The car became quiet again.
Until the car stopped and Lin Tang got out, the moment he saw the destination, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.
Feng Yunjing led the way in front. She looked at his back, her eyes occasionally falling on the surrounding decorations.
The dining room was far back, and from the moment she stepped into the restaurant, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. The restaurant's decoration was too luxurious, at least not a place an ordinary family would choose for a banquet.
The long corridor extending further in was covered with crystal chandeliers on the ceiling. Although it was only a small corridor, the decorations used were very gorgeous. He could not afford to order what was presented to him before.
Unless, he was hiding it from me again.
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly became alert, and a coldness spread silently.
The man in front of her had already clenched his fingers into fists, his nails digging into his flesh, causing a sharp pain. His back was a little stiff, but he didn't dare turn around.
At the end of that day, he still didn't have the courage to tell her the truth.
There were only two of them in the corridor at the moment. The chaotic footsteps were particularly obvious, and there was a faint cold echo.
Every sound seemed to be a trial for him.
The closer he got to the gate, the heavier his breathing became. But he could only helplessly comfort himself in his heart that as long as he got there, there would be a way to solve everything that followed.
finally.
He stopped at one place.
Just as he was about to turn the doorknob, a voice suddenly rang out from a step away: "McMc Crispy Chicken?"
Her voice was slow and without any warmth, and each word came out of her throat clearly.
Feng Yunjing suddenly felt uneasy, and this feeling of unease forced him to turn his head and look at her.
She also stopped at this moment, her eyes no longer as gentle as when she came, "I can't call you like this in front of your parents, right?"
The implication was obvious: it was time for him to tell her his true identity.
He moved his lips, wanting to explain, but the door was opened at an inopportune moment.
The two of them looked over subconsciously.
The moment the door was completely opened, Feng Chibai appeared in front of them.
