Chapter 87 "Can we sit down now?"...
"Can we sit down now?" Liu Duanhe looked around and smiled enigmatically.
Seeing that no one dared to speak, Guan Du quickly smoothed things over, "Who would dare not let us sit down, President Liu? You've been busy all day, sit here and rest with Feng Xingyun."
Liu Duanhe gave him face and sat down to chat with him. Seeing that Liu Duanhe didn't say anything more, he agreed.
The atmosphere in the private room then became lively again.
The person next to Chen Xingdong nudged him with his elbow, "Tsk tsk, Liu Duanhe is now in charge of the entire Liu family, he's completely different from before, look at that aura!"
Chen Xingdong glanced at him, then sullenly downed his drink, his entire demeanor gloomy and somber.
Chen Xingdong didn't say anything, which made the other person feel inexplicably awkward. He muttered, "So what if you didn't catch up with her? Does it have to be like you're such a lovesick fool?"
Their family's assets are not much less, so naturally they are not afraid of him.
Chen Xingdong heard him clearly, but he didn't have the energy to pay attention to him anymore. He just glared at him fiercely, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then got up and left the table.
Feng Xingyun's arrival is indeed a variable, but as long as things go smoothly, he won't get in his way.
Liu Duanhe glanced at his departing figure, but paid no attention.
Since the purpose of the outing was to have fun, he didn't hold back and pulled Feng Xingyun along to play together.
When Liu Duanhe was there, they were all respectable people, so they suggested playing Truth or Dare and had the waiter run errands to buy cards.
Under the bright lights of the private room, Guan Du, one of the organizers today, was only responsible for spinning the wine bottles and did not participate.
The first round was handed to a friend of Guan Du's who was quite familiar with him. That guy was also quite funny, and he immediately wailed, "Good heavens, Guan Du, you sacrificed me in the very first round! There must be something fishy going on!"
Everyone burst into laughter at his exaggerated performance.
Guan Du laughed and scolded, "You're just unlucky. Hurry up and choose, truth or dare?"
The man gritted his teeth for a long time, knowing that this group of people would definitely not go easy on him, but they wouldn't go too far either. But honestly, he didn't want to choose them.
He still chose the dare.
Someone egged them on, saying, "Right now, send a message to the first person in your WeChat chat window saying, 'I like you, let's be together.'"
Go outside and yell "I'm an idiot."
"Kiss the first person you meet in the hallway."
The first message came out, and the man's eyes immediately widened in terror. You see, he was now inside the company, having just finished get off work before coming here. The first message he received was from his father!
When this message was sent to his father, he couldn't even imagine what would happen.
Seeing his expression, everyone became even more excited. Those who were originally talking about the other adventures all started asking for the first one.
"You kid, you're not a sore loser, are you? You're going to be the first one, the one Han Ming mentioned."
"Yeah, hurry up!"
Li Lifeng said with a bitter face, "You guys are going to get me into big trouble."
He sent it anyway, and immediately threw his phone on the sofa and put it on silent, not daring to look at his dad's reaction.
They laughed again, and the private room was so hot that steam was rising from it.
Feng Xingyun gently pressed his arm and whispered in his ear, "How about it? If you think it's too noisy, we'll go outside."
Liu Duanhe is a quiet person, and Feng Xingyun is a little worried that he might not like it.
Although Guan Du was laughing and joking with them, he kept his eyes on Liu Duanhe out of the corner of his eye. He naturally saw the two whispering intimately to each other, and his heart ached.
Liu Duanhe lowered his voice, his tone softening, "I'm fine, how are you?"
Even though Liu Duanhe preferred quiet, he was used to these frivolous people. He attended countless banquets and private gatherings, while he could count Feng Xingyun's attendance on one hand. If anyone disliked him, Liu Duanhe knew that he did too.
Feng Xingyun gently kissed Liu Duanhe's cheek. Because there were many people around, he didn't linger. "As long as you're by my side, it doesn't matter where I am."
Although everyone was laughing and joking, no one could ignore Liu Duanhe over there. After seeing that kiss, he was first stunned, and then he clicked his tongue in amazement.
Liu Duanhe subconsciously looked up and scanned the surroundings, and several people who saw him quickly looked away.
He then looked away, his voice lowered yet still magnetic and pleasant, "We won't stay long. We'll sit for a while longer after Du Lanting arrives, and then we'll go home."
Feng Xingyun was stunned for a moment. The word "home" coming from Liu Duanhe's mouth made people feel exceptionally warm and tender.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
In the next few rounds, he didn't get a chance to talk to Feng Xingyun, so Liu Duanhe chatted with him while eating the fruit platter in front of him.
Just as everyone was having a great time, the door to the private room opened, and a man in a floral shirt walked in, preemptively saying, "You guys are really not being fair. I haven't even arrived yet, and you're already playing by yourselves."
Liu Duanhe looked up and met Du Lanting's gaze. Du Lanting winked at him and said, "I knew Xiaohe wouldn't forget me."
"Don't rush off later. Let's have a few drinks. We haven't seen each other for so many years since we last met while studying abroad."
Liu Duanhe raised his glass to him, "A few drinks are fine, but no more. I have class tomorrow."
Du Lanting sighed in disappointment and greeted everyone afterward.
He sat down on the empty side next to Liu Duanhe.
He narrowed his eyes, glanced at Liu Duan and Feng Xingyun beside him, and extended his hand, saying, "Feng Xingyun, I have long admired your name."
Feng Xingyun held Liu Duanhe's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go. He nodded at him and gave a slight smile, "No need for a handshake, thank you for the compliment."
Before he came, Liu Duanhe told him that there were basically no friends he cared about in the room, and Guan Du could be considered a good friend, since he had tipped him off last time.
Feng Xingyun was never a good-tempered person; his indifferent expression was his usual trait.
Du Lanting withdrew his hand, and the two hands were clasped in front of him. Of course, he had seen it. When he went abroad to study, Liu Duanhe was not yet an adult. The two were several years apart in age. He did not like men, so there was no ambiguity between them. They were just friends.
He was just curious and wanted to watch the show, and also get to know this rarely seen heir of the Feng family, so he could know his personality in advance and make things easier for him in the future.
Du Lanting smiled and said to Liu Duanhe with emotion, "I never thought you would be the one to start a relationship with me. When I heard about it after I returned to China, I was so shocked that I almost stumbled and fell to the ground."
Liu Duanhe subconsciously glanced at Feng Xingyun, "It's never too early to meet the right person."
Du Lanting was genuinely surprised this time. "Are you serious?"
Liu Duanhe replied, "I never fake my feelings."
That so-called compensation for the relationship is ultimately a choice of the heart.
Du Lanting said seriously, "Dating a man and marrying a man are two completely different things."
Out of consideration for his affinity with Liu Duanhe, Du Lanting rarely interfered in other people's love lives.
Liu Duanhe clearly understood the difference. Many things can be weighed in terms of pros and cons, but human feelings are not. He was unwilling to give up Feng Xingyun for those illusory benefits.
Liu Duanhe doesn't express many things or feelings verbally. To outsiders, he is undoubtedly an extroverted person, but in reality, he is reserved and passive in matters of the heart, keeping his likes and loves to himself.
