Chapter 83 Feng Xingyun rested his elbows on his knees…
Feng Xingyun rested his elbows on his knees and leaned closer to Liu Duanhe, saying, "I didn't say anything; you're the one who misunderstood."
Liu Duanhe glared at him, but Feng Xingyun didn't actually say anything. Instead, his expression and tone were strange, leading him to think in another direction.
Liu Duanhe got up and went to his desk, his tall, straight back radiating a chilling aura.
Feng Xingyun touched his nose. He really enjoyed teasing Liu Duanhe. He teased Liu Duanhe until he got angry, and then he would go up to coax him. He himself felt that he was a little crazy.
But he couldn't help himself, always wanting to tease him, just like seeing a beautiful cat sitting by the roadside licking its paws, who could resist going up to pet it?
Feng Xingyun didn't disturb Liu Duanhe, who was already working diligently. After replying to his father's message, he also started working.
Since he's idle anyway, he should finish his work for the next few days and then ask his dad for leave.
While looking at the reports, Liu Duanhe saw that Dr. Song had sent him a message. He remembered that tomorrow was the time for psychological counseling. They had previously agreed to go to his place twice a week, and tomorrow would be the first time this week.
This time, Liu Duanhe doesn't plan to take Feng Xingyun again. Taking him to Dr. Song's place last time already proved his attitude.
It would be more convenient for him to go alone. He also had another important matter to attend to recently, which was Feng Xingyun's birthday. Although they didn't get along well before, they were still in the same circle. Liu Duan was shrewd and resourceful, and he had unintentionally remembered Feng Xingyun's birthday, which was now coming in handy.
Liu Duanhe hadn't paid attention to it before, but after thinking about it carefully today, he realized that Feng Xingyun would be twenty after this birthday, while he would be nineteen after his birthday in June of this year. The main reason was that he skipped grades when he was in school.
Feng Xingyun was actually older than him. Liu Duanhe decided to let him find out later, otherwise he would get too cocky.
His last birthday was during summer vacation, which was his coming-of-age ceremony and was a grand affair. However, their relationship hadn't changed back then. Now, Feng Xingyun's birthday is the first birthday they've celebrated together.
Liu Duanhe pondered in distress what gift he should give Feng Xingyun.
How about another sports car?
It's a bit unoriginal. The gift he gave as a thank you before was a sports car. Now that he's her boyfriend, giving him this again would seem perfunctory. Liu Duanhe considers himself a respectable person.
He used to give gifts to friends, elders, or business partners, so he really had no experience in giving gifts to lovers.
Liu Duanhe thought for a while. He had only bought the bracelet for Feng Xingyun on a whim before, and hadn't thought about it as much as he did now.
He decided to pretend to be in a meeting and go to the outer office to find Secretary Wei, intending to ask for some advice.
As soon as he moved, Feng Xingyun looked up as well, but only glanced at him before looking down again. Liu Duanhe was always very busy and wouldn't sit in the office all the time, so Feng Xingyun was used to it.
When Liu Duanhe met his gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably guilty. He nodded to him and quietly closed the door, feeling like a thief in his own office.
He remained calm and composed, as always, until he entered Secretary Wei's office, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As his chief secretary, Secretary Wei naturally had his own private office and didn't have to share with others.
When Secretary Wei saw that it was Liu Duanhe who knocked on the door and came in, he was a little surprised. Liu Duanhe rarely came to his office to see him. He would usually call him directly. Could it be that something urgent had suddenly happened?
Secretary Wei stood up. "Boss, has something urgent happened?"
Liu Duanhe said somewhat awkwardly, "Just sit down, it's nothing urgent. Have you ever been in a relationship?"
Secretary Wei was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"
He was completely bewildered by Liu Duanhe's words, not knowing why he suddenly asked that question, and felt utterly confused.
Liu Duanhe didn't skimp on himself and sat down in the chair opposite him. "Feng Xingyun's birthday is coming up in March, so we definitely need to prepare a gift for him in advance. Do you have any suggestions?"
Secretary Wei honestly replied, "I've never been in a relationship."
Liu Duanhe's face showed obvious surprise.
Secretary Wei added, "However, I can still offer advice to the boss. I gave my roommates advice quite a few times when I was in college."
Liu Duanhe was finally relieved.
Feng Xingyun, who was leaning against the door, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
He had only followed Liu Duanhe out because of his sixth sense, but he never expected to receive such a big surprise.
There's no need to prepare any more gifts. What he heard today is the best gift. Liu Duanhe is thinking about him and cares about him so much that he can't tolerate any perfunctory or half-hearted treatment. Just thinking about it a little more deeply makes him feel sweet.
Feng Xingyun stood with his hands in his pockets, openly listening. The soundproofing in Secretary Wei's office was not as good as that in Liu Duanhe's office.
Being so close to the door, and with his keen ears, Feng Xingyun heard everything clearly.
Feng Xingyun didn't want to listen anymore. Liu Duanhe had gone to so much trouble for him, so of course he wanted to keep the surprise to himself and wait until his birthday to be happy.
He pretended not to hear what happened today.
Feng Xingyun quietly returned to Liu Duanhe's office.
Once the scheduled meeting started, Liu Duanhe, having finished talking with Secretary Wei, simply went to the meeting room with him.
After receiving Secretary Wei's advice, Liu Duanhe felt a bit more confident. This time, he also realized that he really didn't know how to date and needed to learn from others. He needed to find some classic romance TV dramas and movies to brush up on his knowledge.
Even when it comes to dating, Liu Duanhe wants to get the highest score.
Today is his first public appearance in the group since his apparent danger. Basically everyone sitting in the conference room knows about the recent news, and some people know even more.
The atmosphere in the conference room was eerily quiet. Liu Duanhe was no stranger to this kind of undercurrent, and he proceeded with the meeting as usual.
And it is precisely this normalcy that is the greatest abnormality.
Everyone present knew what had happened in the past two days. From their perspective, Liu Duanhe had just been murdered by hired killers and almost died. To make matters worse, the killers were rumored to be his parents, yet he was able to return to work at the company without batting an eye and appeared to be unharmed.
This kind of mental fortitude is terrifying; his calmness is astonishing.
For most people, this would require a long period of rest, and it's quite normal to develop mental illness as a result.
Everyone had their own thoughts. Those of Liu Duanhe's faction were naturally more relieved and happy, while those who were close to Liu Rumeng and Wu Xiuying were uneasy, as they had caused Liu Duanhe a lot of trouble in the past.
I wonder how Liu Duanhe will deal with them now that he's in power?
