Chapter 86. Feng Xingyun's cold face remained as firm as a rock...
Feng Xingyun's cold face softened as if melting ice, and he said with concern, "It didn't take long, but the food wasn't as delicious as it was when it was fresh out of the pot. Take care of yourself and don't always work overtime."
Liu Duanhe paused for a moment. He wasn't working overtime today, so he ignored that and took off his coat to hang it up. As he walked towards the restroom, he said, "I have a dinner party tomorrow night for a friend who's returning from abroad. It's a welcome-back dinner. Do you want to come with me?"
As he washed his hands, he turned his head to look. After Feng Xingyun had set out the food, he came over and waited for him to finish washing his hands before washing them again.
He leaned against the bathroom door, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go too."
Feng Xingyun himself didn't have anything particularly busy tomorrow. He wasn't curious about Liu Duanhe's friends, but he figured they were very curious about him, so he naturally agreed.
Water droplets dripped down his fingers. Suddenly, Liu Duanhe thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and he flicked the water droplets on his hand at Feng Xingyun.
Caught off guard by the splash of water, Feng Xingyun laughed. He pushed open the half-open bathroom door, strode in, and pressed Liu Duanhe against the wall, trapping her in front of him. He whispered, "Trying to mess with me, huh?"
Their breaths mingled, their eyes reflecting each other's images. Liu Duanhe said confidently, "Mmm!"
Feng Xingyun's gaze fell on his lips, his eyes deepened, his heart pounded, and then he placed his hands on Liu Duanhe's body, caressing him all over.
Liu Duanhe couldn't help but curl up, struggling and laughing at the same time, "You have no sportsmanship, you actually tickled me."
Liu Duanhe had no idea when Feng Xingyun discovered that he was extremely ticklish.
It's like my whole body is covered in itchy spots, I'm extremely sensitive.
Liu Duanhe's body was flushed pink from being rubbed and kneaded. He struggled and tried his best to escape, but the laughter was so intense that he was almost powerless, his body went limp, and even tears streamed from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing that Liu Duanhe had lost all strength and collapsed into his arms, Feng Xingyun stopped and said, "Do you still dare to do something naughty?"
Liu Duanhe snorted, "You'll dare to do it again next time."
Then, with her restored strength, she pushed Feng Xingyun aside and ran out quickly.
Feng Xingyun was completely caught off guard. Leaning against the sink, he could only watch Liu Duanhe run away, shaking his head helplessly, "You fooled me."
He genuinely believed that Liu Duanhe was out of strength, but in reality, he was gathering his strength, thus deceiving him completely.
Feng Xingyun gently closed his hands, as if trying to retain the warmth lingering on his fingertips. His expression was tender, and he didn't want Liu Duanhe to wait for him to eat any longer. He washed his hands at the sink before he could savor the moment any longer.
After he came out of the bathroom, Liu Duanhe was indeed waiting for him at the table, without touching his chopsticks.
The two finished their meal quietly.
After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Liu Duanhe suddenly remembered the gift he had bought while shopping that afternoon, and took it out to give to Feng Xingyun.
The next afternoon, Liu Duanhe left work early and went to the club with Feng Xingyun.
Because the weather was getting warmer, he dressed simply, in a satin off-white shirt and a silver-gray casual suit, not too formal, but not too relaxed either.
Feng Xingyun also had his own little scheme. He rarely wore suits, but he wore one to match Liu Duanhe's outfit. He even wore a brooch with a pattern that was very similar to Liu Duanhe's suit, which was quite flashy. However, his cold and hard temperament suppressed the brooch, giving him a kind of aura of a suit-wearing thug.
Liu Duanhe had sent a message to Guan Du before he arrived, so Guan Du was already waiting at the entrance of the club when he arrived.
After the driver followed the parking attendant, the two walked over and were led inside by Guan Du.
Liu Duanhe chatted with him casually.
The door to the private room opened, and a dozen or so people were sitting in twos and threes inside.
Liu Duanhe and Feng Xingyun arrived early, but not everyone was there yet. Du Lanting, the protagonist who was to be welcomed, was also not present.
Everyone present had joined their family businesses at a young age; even if they weren't heirs, they were being groomed for succession. Therefore, no shady characters were invited to accompany them.
Of course, they are not innocent and pure either; they have no shortage of bed partners, girlfriends, and boyfriends.
One reason is that they grew up together, and Liu Duanhe's obsessive-compulsive disorder is as famous as his family background and abilities; they were unwilling to needlessly provoke him.
Liu Duanhe's gaze swept around, then suddenly sharpened. He then casually glanced over at the group of a dozen or so people. Among them was Chen Xingdong, who seemed to have vaguely sensed his gaze and looked over as well.
His delicate face obscured his expression, and Liu Duanhe was somewhat confused. His relationship with Du Lanting wasn't exactly good; compared to the dozen or so people present, even the most superficial ones seemed to be a little better off than him.
All eyes were on them, with particular attention focused on the stranger, Feng Xingyun.
They recognized his appearance recently, as they all knew that Liu Duanhe was with Feng Xingyun of the Feng family. However, they were not familiar with him personally, as Feng Xingyun rarely participated in gatherings or socialized with them, making him a complete stranger to them.
They were quite surprised that this person had managed to win the heart of the most unattainable woman in their circle without making a sound.
They were all employees of the family company, so they naturally had a deeper understanding of Liu Duanhe than others, especially those who had worked with him or had unspoken conflicts with him.
Liu Duanhe is not as approachable as she seems on the surface. She is a typical example of someone who is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. In her private life, she is so self-disciplined that she is comparable to a monk. She is the perfect example of a high-and-mighty flower.
They were now eager to find out immediately whether Feng Xingyun had three heads and six arms or was able to stand tall and upright, in order to subdue Liu Duanhe, this smiling tiger. They had never heard of Liu Duanhe having any inclination to like men before.
Seeing them scrutinizing him quietly, Liu Duanhe said calmly, "Why did you all stop talking as soon as I came in?"
Someone immediately spoke up, "Brother Liu, aren't you going to introduce the people next to you?"
They knew who Feng Xingyun was, but how Liu Duanhe introduced him was a delicate matter.
If we're talking about friends, then it's definitely just casual flings. In the future, I'll still follow the same path as them, getting married and having children.
However, judging from Liu Duanhe's attitude just now, they had some guesses in their hearts. Liu Duanhe was undoubtedly a person who said one thing to one person and another to another. He lied to people quite a lot, but in many places he was also a serious person who could be described as meticulous and stubborn.
Liu Duan said calmly, "My boyfriend is Feng Xingyun."
The person who first spoke to probe was also pushed forward. He had a good relationship with Liu Duanhe, second only to Guan Du in the past, so he wasn't worried about being remembered by Liu Duanhe because of it.
But Zheng Xiu was actually very unwilling. After all, nothing beats the pillow talk. He was essentially asking Feng Xingyun to pay attention to him. What if Feng Xingyun was petty? Unfortunately, he had just lost a game with them, and these dozen or so people insisted that he speak up. He had no choice but to accept his loss, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

Author's Note: There's only one major plot point left, and I'm thinking of ending it and starting something new. I'm even considering starting a historical romance novel. I feel like I've been having a burst of inspiration lately. Are you guys interested? [Starry-eyed]
