Su Peishan usually showed a lot of dislike for Du Muchen in front of Qianmo. If Qianmo found out that she had slept with Du Muchen, she would be laughed at to death by her.
Absolutely not.
"Don't rush off. There's room for negotiation. I've only been here at Tengyue for a short time, and I'm really busy with work at the company, so I can't guarantee I can come three days a week. How about we compromise and go for two days?"
A glint flashed in Du Muchen's obsidian-bright pupils, and he pursed his thin lips slightly: "Deal."
Su Peishan clutched the hem of her clothes, feeling inexplicably like she had been tricked.
Three years have passed since their breakup, and the man in front of her is no longer the charming young man she once knew.
If memories could be discarded, she would have packed them up without hesitation and thrown them into the Pacific Ocean back then.
Yet, she still remembers the feeling of being amazed when she first met that boy who was squatting under the dim streetlights with his knees drawn up to reveal his stunningly handsome face.
Su Peishan returned to her office and took a big gulp of water from her glass.
She couldn't quite describe her emotions at that moment—anger, frustration, and deep down, a hint of relief, a relief that it was a bastard who took her away last night.
More than anything, I'm a little angry with myself.
If she hadn't been obsessed with good looks back then, how could she have brought that brat home and raised him for three years?
Looking back now, if the person squatting by the roadside had been ugly, short, and unattractive, she would have definitely tossed her hair and strode away.
I've gotten myself into this crush, and now I can't shake it off! It's driving me crazy...

Du Muchen returned to Bai Qianmo's office, where Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo sat on the sofa, their eyes fixed intently on him.
Why are you all staring at me?
Gu Jueye asked, "Where did you go just now?"
"Oh, I went outside and smoked two cigarettes."
Bai Qianmo smiled knowingly and didn't say anything more.
Gu Jueye took her hand: "Are you hungry? Where shall we go for dinner tonight?"
"Let's go to Jiangnan Yan's restaurant. It's been a long time since I've been there, and I really miss their food."
"good."
Du Muchen quickly said, "I'm hungry too, let's go together."
Gu Jueye glanced at Du Muchen: "Do you want to be a third wheel?"
Du Muchen raised an eyebrow: "I don't mind. In front of the two of you, I'm immune to all poisons."
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow as if she had just thought of something: "Then let's go together."
The three of them walked out of Tengyue chatting and laughing, and met Su Peishan, who was waiting for the elevator, at the elevator entrance.
Upon seeing Du Muchen, Su Peishan's expression clearly changed.
Bai Qianmo stepped forward: "Sister Su, are you free tonight?"
“Ah…I have…” Su Peishan tried to refuse.
Bai Qianmo interrupted her, "I seem to remember you saying you wanted to play a couple of games with me when you got home tonight, but you probably didn't have any plans."
Su Peishan frowned. Why did she have to be so sarcastic and ask Qianmo to play games?
Qianmo is clearly doing this on purpose. She can't exactly say that going back to play games is the important thing now, can she?
"Oh, it's nothing."
Bai Qianmo chuckled softly, "Then let's go have a meal together."
Just then, the elevator arrived, and Bai Qianmo hooked her arm around Su Peishan's and pulled her into the elevator.
Su Peishan sighed silently to herself. What else could she say?
The four people got into the car and drove to the Jianhe Restaurant, which was the closest to Tengyue.
Gu Jueye made a phone call halfway there, presumably to arrange a private room.
When they entered the restaurant, the lobby manager was already waiting for them.
"My lord, Young Master Chen!"
Su Peishan's expression suddenly froze, and she looked at Gu Jueye in shock.
Lord?
Which lord?
In Beijing's social circle, there are very few young people who can be called "Master," and after thinking it over, it seems that only the Gu family member is called "Lord."
Could it be...?
Is Qianmo's boyfriend Gu Jueye?
Su Peishan was completely stunned by this answer.
With a sense of shock, Su Peishan followed Bai Qianmo into a private room.
The table in the private room is rectangular, with three seats in a row.
Gu Jueye pulled out a chair in a gentlemanly manner, and after Bai Qianmo sat down, he naturally sat down next to her.
Su Peishan felt abandoned and glanced at the chair opposite her.
Du Muchen hadn't spoken to her the whole way, so sitting next to him now felt very strange.
"Sister Su, why don't you sit here?" Bai Qianmo pointed to the empty seat next to her.
Du Muchen's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at Su Peishan, pretending to be unconscious.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, Su Peishan felt that there was a clear threat in that look.
She knew the puppy's eyes all too well.
If she weren't sitting next to him now, who knows what that brat might say at the dinner table.
Forget it, I'm not the kind of person who's coy.
Taking a deep breath, Su Peishan walked to the opposite side of Bai Qianmo and said, "I'll sit here."
Seeing that the two people opposite her were not speaking, Bai Qianmo took the initiative to introduce Gu Jueye to Su Peishan.
Upon hearing Gu Jueye's name, Su Peishan was certain of her guess.
During the meal
Du Muchen and Gu Jueye chatted from time to time. They were from the same circle and had grown up together, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.
Although Gu Jueye has a reserved personality, he is still extremely gentlemanly towards Qianmo's friends.
When ordering, have the waiter stand directly in front of Su Peishan and ask her what dishes she likes to eat.
Su Peishan was a little flattered and casually ordered two dishes. When she saw the prices on the menu, she was secretly shocked.
Thankfully, she wasn't the one paying tonight, otherwise, if she had just ordered two dishes, half a month's worth of food money would have been gone.
After Su Peishan ordered the food, Gu Jueye gently asked Qianmo what she wanted to eat.
The rest of the meal was ordered according to what Qianmo liked to eat.
"That's all." Gu Jueye doesn't have any dietary restrictions. He likes to eat whatever the girl likes, so whenever the two of them go out to eat, he always orders the dishes she likes.
"Wait, I haven't ordered yet," Du Muchen said, sounding annoyed.
Gu Jueye gave a soft "hmm" and handed the menu to Du Muchen: "I almost forgot that you're paying today, order whatever you like."
Du Muchen felt like he was choking on blood.
How did it become his responsibility to pay the bill?
This guy just put on a host's act, behaving like a gentleman and letting the two girls order food, only to end up being the one who got ripped off.
However, with Su Peishan nearby, Du Muchen could only endure it, casually ordering two dishes before handing the menu to the waiter.
