Lingyan hasn't seen Xu Yanfeng for a long time.
Last time, he discovered that she had sent someone to follow him, and she was misunderstood to have swapped the paternity test report, which led to a quarrel in the restaurant. She hasn't seen him since then.
The relationship between them was already pitifully fragile, and it was all maintained by her alone. If she didn't look for Xu Yanfeng, it would be impossible for them to meet, because Xu Yanfeng would not take the initiative to look for her.
She had been miserable and depressed for so long, and when she heard that he was holding a cocktail party here tonight, she mustered up the courage to dress up carefully and came to see him without being invited.
She thought that after so long, even if he was very angry, it should have calmed down.
Ling Yan was very sure that since Xu Yanfeng believed that she had swapped the paternity test report, he would definitely find an opportunity to do another test later, and the result would definitely be that Xia Xi's child had nothing to do with him.
He should have known that he had wronged her.
She didn't tamper with the paternity test report!
Ling Yan pursed her lips, with her usual gentle and decent smile on her face, and called softly, "A Feng."
Tang Yizhou turned around and saw it was her, then glanced at Xia Xi in the distance, feeling that this situation was not good. He smacked his lips, afraid that he might say something wrong again, and made an excuse to slip away quickly: "Didn't Fu Li say he was coming? Why hasn't he arrived yet? I'll go see if he's here."
He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and threw it onto the tray held by a passing waiter.
Ling Yan hesitantly took a step closer: "Long time no see, have you been busy lately?"
Xu Yanfeng looked at Ling Yan, his face expressionless. He showed no surprise nor displeasure at her arrival. This was the most torturous thing. Whether you liked her or hated her, you should always have an attitude.
Having no attitude means not caring or not concerned.
It means you are not important at all in his heart.
Ling Yan's effortlessly maintained facade of composure nearly crumbled. Her thick, long eyelashes trembled and drooped, unconcerned with being humble in front of him. The one who gave more was always the more humble, wasn't it?
"I really know I was wrong." Ling Yan's voice was weak. "I've reflected a lot during this period. I shouldn't have been so self-righteous as to interfere in your affairs under the pretext of doing good for you. I'm sorry, I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?"
As soon as she said the first word, Xu Yanfeng's eyes were no longer on her. He was looking in another direction. The members of the design companies that lost the competition were toasting Xia Xi one after another like crazy.
I don't know whether he was sincerely congratulating her, taking this opportunity to vent his frustration at losing, or simply joining in the fun.
Xia Xi's brain was kicked by a donkey. She didn't know how to refuse. She smiled and drank one cup after another. Her eyes were blurred and watery under the illumination of the crystal lamp. She curled her lips and looked very charming.
Even a plain white dress couldn't suppress her charm.
As Xu Yanfeng watched, his brows furrowed little by little. He couldn't bear it any longer and was about to step over to rescue her, but Lu Mingji was one step faster than him and stood in front of Xia Xi. The elegant man smiled as if in the spring breeze and took all the drinks that those people offered him.
Xu Yanfeng stopped walking, but his brows didn't relax much.
Ling Yan said a lot of words that she thought were confessing her true feelings, but she didn't get the response she wanted from Xu Yanfeng. She looked up at the person in front of her, but found that he was not looking at her at all.
She looked in the direction of his gaze and suddenly pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingers.
That’s... Xia Xi.
Ling Yan bit her lip and brought up the past again, unwilling to give up: "A Feng, you should already know that I didn't lie to you. I didn't touch the paternity test report. You..."
Xu Yanfeng retracted his gaze and finally looked at her. He moved his lips, but the words he said were not what she wanted to hear: "So what?"
Then, what?
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes blank. Did he know what he was talking about?
Does he mean that even if Xia Xi's child is not his, he doesn't mind?
Ling Yan thought it was ridiculous. What kind of love potion had Xia Xi fed him that he didn't even mind that she had given birth to another man's child and still wanted to continue to be entangled with her.
Ling Yan took a step back with a pale face, feeling a little emotionally broken.
At this moment, she really wanted to open Xu Yanfeng's head and peek into what he was thinking.

Lu Mingji helped Xia Xi block several groups of people who came to toast him. Xia Xi happily hid behind them, leaning against the rectangular table and drinking by himself.
After Lu Mingji dealt with those people, he turned back to look for her. She was already drunk. He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Good fellow, I blocked the wine for you, but you drank it here by yourself. Isn't it a waste of my blocking?"
Xia Xi curled her lips in a faint smile, her drunken eyes hazy, revealing an unconscious charm. She reached out and pushed his shoulder: "As a boss, it's my duty to protect my employees from drinking." She gave him a thumbs-up and praised him with a big tongue, "Boss Lu is great."
Lu Mingji hummed, and concluded: "Xia Xi, you are drunk."
Xia Xi shook her head, stubbornly refusing to admit that she felt a little dizzy. "I, I can drink a lot, don't you know?"
Lu Mingji thought about it seriously and replied, "I really don't know. Have you ever been drunk before? I don't think I've ever seen you."
"That's it, it means I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
As Xia Xi spoke, she raised her wine glass to her lips. The wine provided by Xu Group was of excellent quality. It had a mellow and long-lasting flavor, but the aftertaste was a bit strong. It might be because she drank too much.
Lu Mingji stared at her blushing cheeks, picked up a glass of wine from the table, and leaned on the edge of the table like her, supporting himself with one hand behind his back: "Are you in a good mood or a bad mood?"
He couldn't understand.
Xia Xi smiled, her entire face blooming like a flower, her expression utterly gorgeous. "Of course I'm in a good mood. Once we sign the contract with Xu's, the design fees we'll get will be enough to support Boya for several years."
