Luo Qingyuan finally slowly raised her lips.
Meanwhile, at the Crescent Hotel.
Duan Ye's dinner party was also coming to an end.
The private room was packed with people, all from Duan Ye's research group, including professors, group members, and of course, some of Jin He's colleagues with whom he had a good relationship.
The two children had already eaten and drunk their fill, and were lying on the stool next to Duan Ye, watching cartoons on their phones.
White Sugar: "Master, it's a real pity I didn't see your wife today, but your two children are so cute, I'm so envious. Do you and your wife have a very good relationship?"
Bai Tang was the youngest and most outspoken among them.
Over the years, no one dared to talk about what happened back then in front of Duan Ye. Only Bai Tang, relying on his status as Duan Ye's apprentice, repeatedly tried to provoke him.
In the past, Bai Tang would often get scolded. This time, everyone was watching with bated breath, afraid that Bai Tang would get scolded again.
But to everyone's surprise, Duan Ye smiled and nodded: "Yes, very good. Your teacher's wife also likes you quite a bit. She's just away on a business trip for the time being. When she comes back in a couple of days, we'll invite you home for dinner."
Luo An: "Oh my, so you've made up? You're so openly showing affection now?"
Duan Ye feigned helplessness and sighed, "There's nothing I can do. Women, you have to coax them."
Duan Ye's words made everyone at the dinner table burst into laughter.
Zhuo Bufan: "Now that you're back together, you should cherish it. Look at you two, aren't you two adorable?"
Duan Ye: "Yes, teacher, thank you."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the dinner party came to an end.
Bai Tang carried Luo Luo, Luo An carried Chen Chen, and Duan Ye and Zhuo Bufan walked ahead together.
"You'll be starting your job the day after tomorrow. This time you'll be leading a team on your own. You must be careful and calm when things happen, setting a good example for your apprentices."
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhuo. If I can't handle it, I might have to ask you for help. Please don't find me annoying then."
"Haha, definitely, definitely..."
After leaving the Crescent Hotel and seeing everyone off, only Duan Ye, Bai Tang, and Luo An remained.
Luo An: "Brother Duan, Tangtang and I will go home with you first. We'll go back after we drop you off, otherwise you'll be alone with two kids..."
Sugar: "Yes, I want to spend more time with Luo Luo and Chen Chen."
Duan Ye found it amusing. He had a driver and didn't need to drive, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to take two people with him. But seeing their sincere expressions, Duan Ye still agreed.
Nanxing was just around the corner, breaking through the defenses: "Where's Hu Lan? Why isn't she here yet?!"
"Miss, Dr. Hu has been harassed ever since she left the police station."
Nanxing's expression was about to crack, but seeing that Duan Ye was about to get into the car and leave, she had no choice but to put on her mask and walk over directly.
Just as Duan Ye was about to put the children in the car, he turned around and saw this uninvited guest.
Nanxing walked over almost quickly, stopped in front of him, and reached out to pull him: "Brother..."
Without a second thought, Duan Ye withdrew immediately: "Speak your mind."
Bai Tang stared at the woman, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
After all, Nanxing is someone who often hangs out in the entertainment industry and follows gossip; she recognized her at a glance.
Moreover, this is the Crescent Hotel, surrounded by people coming and going.
Upholding her belief in protecting her master and mistress's relationship, Bai Tang handed the child to Luo An, then got out of the car and stood between them.
"Who are you? You think you can get close to my master? Get lost, or I'll make you fight!"
With Bai Tang acting like a bully, Luo An and Duan Ye were both on tenterhooks.
Nanxing's eyes immediately turned cold.
Duan Ye pulled Bai Tang away directly: "Go back to the car and don't get out unless necessary."
Bai Tang panicked: "No, Master, I'll help you! You can't reason with this kind of green tea bitch, you know?"
Luo An: "White Sugar, come back here!"
Didn't you see Nanxing's murderous gaze?
Luo An had met Nan Xing with Duan Ye. This woman used to be so gentle and weak. Now she's so arrogant and domineering, a stark contrast to how she used to be.
It should not be underestimated.
We can't let white sugar be targeted.
So, Bai Tang could only glare at Nan Xing before turning around and getting into the car, but her head kept sticking out towards them.
Nanxing finally looked at Duan Ye: "You're protecting her?"
Duan Ye realized that Nan Xing had begun to hate every woman around him.
Duan Ye: "You came to me just to talk about this?"
Nanxing took a deep breath: "Can we talk alone?"
"cannot."
Duan Ye refused almost without hesitation.
Just as he was about to get into the car, Nanxing rushed over and stopped him: "It's only ten minutes. After ten minutes, you can leave whenever you want. I won't stop you."
Nanxing blocked Baitang's car door.
Sugar was speechless.
Duan Ye looked at her with utter indifference. He asked, "Why don't you just give me a straight answer and tell me how long you're going to keep bothering me?"
"Nanxing, you look cheap like this, do you know that?"
Duan Ye pointed around and saw that many people had already recognized Nan Xing and were taking pictures with their phones and cameras.
"You really like the title of 'mistress,' don't you?"
Nanxing looked at him calmly: "I like you, not the other way around. I like being slandered and having rumors spread about me."
Bai Tang laughed: "Is that slander and fabrication? It's the truth! I was so blind to have liked your dramas so much."
Nanxing was speechless after being rebuked.
Duan Ye: "Isn't this what you've always wanted? What are you still dissatisfied with now?"
"Nanxing, it's despicable to want both things."
"Brother, I regret it..."
Duan Ye said sincerely, "If you really regret it, you should turn yourself in instead of bothering me. I have a wife and children. Do you even understand human language?"
Just as Nanxing was about to continue, Duan Ye pointed at her, already trying his best to suppress the violence within him.
You must not speak recklessly or hit children.
Duan Ye: "Stay away from me, and stop trying to play the innocent. I don't have time to deal with you, understand?"
Before Duan Ye could even make a move, Bai Tang pushed Nan Xing away.
Nanxing swayed and almost fell.
Duan Ye got into the car immediately. Bai Tang said, "What kind of trash is this? He dares to covet my master? Bah! A big star, huh? I've never seen a big star who's so shameless and willing to throw himself at someone like that!!!"
The car door closed, and the car sped away.
Nanxing's heart was struck again. Although she didn't do anything outrageous under the flashing lights, those who knew her knew that she was about to lose control.
What Duan Ye wanted was to break through her psychological defenses time and time again.
Luo An was shivering behind him, holding the two children.
"White Sugar, is your mouth poisoned? Aren't you afraid she'll retaliate?"
Bai Tang snorted coldly: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm an expert at dealing with mistresses. She's the one my master didn't want, not even a mistress. Wait, is she really a celebrity? Those marketing accounts are really making things up. Let me go back and I'll definitely smear her to death!"
