Cheng Suisui drove the car back, heading straight for the company.
Both of them were very quiet, and Ye Nuan's appearance made everyone uncomfortable.
On the way back to the company, they had to pass by the Crescent Hotel. It was already close to afternoon, and Cheng Suisui didn't know how long she would have to work overtime tonight, so she casually asked.
"Mr. Luo, how about we have a meal at a restaurant before heading back to the company?"
Luo Qingyuan glanced at the time; it was 5:10 PM, which was indeed lunchtime.
Duan Ye just sent me a message saying he might be a little late tonight.
Luo Qingyuan thought for a moment and decided to have someone from the Crescent Moon Hotel deliver some food to Duan Ye's place.
Luo Qingyuan: "Okay, stop the car."
Cheng Suisui nodded in agreement.
After parking the car, Luo Qingyuan and Cheng Suisui went upstairs together.
As soon as we arrived on the first floor, the manager rushed over.
Luo Qingyuan: "Let's keep it simple today. Just two dishes and pack one more to send to Jinhe Company."
Manager: "Okay, I'll get right on it."
Luo Qingyuan waved her hand: "Go ahead and get busy. We'll eat in the lobby today."
The manager readily agreed.
Luo Qingyuan, with Cheng Suisui by her side, had just spotted a window seat and was about to walk over when Duan Ze and his men walked in.
The two were face to face; there was no way to pretend they couldn't see each other.
So, Luo Qingyuan walked over with a smile: "Brother, are you here for dinner?"
Duan Ze nodded: "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Since you have people here, I won't bother you any longer. We can have a meal together another time."
Duan Ze smiled and said, "Okay."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then went their separate ways.
As soon as Luo Qingyuan sat down, she saw Yang Fan rushing over with his entourage. At that moment, Duan Ze was ordering food at the front desk.
Yang Fan: "Have you booked the private room? These foreigners need to be treated well..."
Duan Ze: "It's booked."
Luo Qingyuan glanced at Cheng Suisui: "Go tell the manager to give Duan Ze's table a 50% discount on the food."
Cheng Suisui nodded and left quickly.
As the group was about to go upstairs under the guidance of the waiter, some foreigners appeared at the door, both black and white, but the most eye-catching was a Chinese man in a white suit and black trousers.
She was a woman with black hair tied back, light makeup on her face, and a very elegant demeanor.
Yang Fan: "We're here. Since we're here, let's go up together."
Yang Fan and his men were the first to go forward to greet them.
Luo Qingyuan saw that Duan Ze and that woman were both clearly stunned in place.
A woman's intuition told Luo Qingyuan that something was wrong!
Just as Luo Qingyuan was wondering what was going on, they had already gone upstairs.
Luo Qingyuan could only lower her gaze, pick up her teacup and take a sip, her curiosity inevitably getting a little too strong.
At this moment, Duan Ze and Fang Rou were also somewhat surprised. They did not expect that after so many years, their reunion would be like this.
Both of them acted very naturally. It was originally Yang Fan's home turf, and Duan Ze was just there for the ride, so Duan Ze's dinner was very quiet.
Fang Rou, on the other hand, calmly translated for the people around her in different languages.
After finishing their business, Duan Ze went to the restroom and came face to face with Fang Rou as soon as he came out.
Duan Ze was somewhat taken aback, but then calmly asked, "Miss Fang, don't you need to continue translating for them?"
Fang Rou smiled, washing her hands as she said, "Miss Ruth is my friend. I only agreed to help out of respect for her."
Fang Rou's explanation made Duan Ze feel somewhat awkward.
Duan Ze washed his hands and replied, "Yeah, that's good."
Fang Rou then said, "Aze, it's been a long time."
Duan Ze: "Indeed, it's been a long time."
Fang Rou: "I have finished my doctoral studies and have been transferred back to Kyoto from abroad. I will be working as a translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kyoto from now on."
Duan Ze remained calm: "Congratulations."
Fang Rou smiled and glanced at him: "You... have changed a lot."
After all, in Fang Rou's memory, Duan Ze loved to snuggle in her arms and call her "sister" in a cute way.
Duan Ze smiled and then bluntly attacked his ego: "Yes, of course, I'm not young anymore, after all, I'm getting married soon."
Fang Rou's smile froze for a moment before she asked again, "You...are you getting married?"
Duan Ze nodded calmly. Meeting Fang Rou here today was unexpected for him.
Fang Rou's behavior also made him feel that something was wrong.
Now they should live their own lives. If Fang Rou hadn't been there to stop him, he probably would have left right after finishing his meal without even giving her a second glance.
Fang Rou was about to say something when Duan Ze coldly and ruthlessly said, "I don't know why we happened to meet here, but... Fang Rou, my fiancée is a very petty person, and of course, I'm not a petty person either, so I hope we can keep our distance."
Fang Rou hadn't recovered from the shock when she heard Duan Ze's words, and her feelings became complicated.
But she was the one who gave up on Duan Ze back then, so she has no right to say anything.
Fang Rou smiled politely yet distantly: "Okay, then I wish you a happy marriage in advance."
Looking at her like this, Duan Ze couldn't help but recall how this woman had resolutely gone abroad back then.
Well, everyone has the right to pursue freedom and career.
But Duan Ze was the one who was abandoned; he was the victim!
Duan Ze is very vengeful.
"Thank you for your kind words. Remember to prepare a gift of money. Of course, I won't be giving you a gift in return."
After saying that, Duan Ze gave a fake smile, turned around and left.
Fang Rou paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly and muttered, "She still has that vindictive personality..."
