Su Muqing also recognized Shen Yanqing, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes before she quickly looked away.
Everyone at the table had their own thoughts, but only Boss Shen calmly and carefully served food to Gu Baiwei.
Gu Baiwei blushed: "No need, I can manage by myself."
She only burned her hand; her hand wasn't broken.
Shen Yanqing subtly placed his hand under the table, then grasped hers, their fingers intertwining.
Gu Baiwei stiffened and immediately fell silent, letting him serve her food.
Seeing this, Shen Xuan paused slightly, accidentally knocking the chopsticks out of his hand. He bent down to pick them up, and his gaze fell on the pair of hands clasped together under the table. His eyes darkened.
He picked up the chopsticks expressionlessly, and with a slight tightening of his grip, a barely perceptible crack immediately appeared on the chopsticks.
He placed the chopsticks on the table, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and quietly changed to a new pair.
Director Chen forced a smile and warmly greeted them, "Um, this pine nut mandarin fish is quite good, have a taste!"
Three pairs of chopsticks simultaneously reached for the plate of pine nut mandarin fish, and coincidentally, they all chose the same spot.
Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere in the room, Director Chen wished he could slap himself twice on the spot; he hadn't said that much.
With a smile, Shen Yanqing placed the tenderest piece of meat on Gu Baiwei's plate. His gentle and considerate manner towards a woman despite his status speaks volumes about their relationship.
Director Chen secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. Luckily, he had already apologized to Xiao Gu, otherwise he didn't know how many times he would have died.
Ye Yunting sat opposite the two men, barely touching his chopsticks, but he drank quite a bit of wine. By the time the meal was halfway through, he was almost drunk.
Looking at the two people opposite him behaving intimately, he felt as if a thorn had been stuck in his heart, causing him intense, intermittent pain.
He couldn't bear to look at it any longer. He slammed his hand on the table and staggered to his feet.
Gu Baiwei was startled by his sudden action and looked up at him in surprise. However, her hand, which was under the table, was once again held tightly by Shen Yanqing's warm hand.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared reproachfully at Shen Yanqing, her gaze never falling on Ye Yunting again.
"I'm a little drunk, so I'll take my leave now."
At that moment, Ye Yunting practically fled in panic.
Director Chen immediately stood up with a smile: "President Chen, I'll go see President Ye off."
As night deepened, the moonlight shone like water, and a solitary moon hung in the sky. Tonight, the sky was empty of stars, filled only with endless loneliness.
Ye Yunting rubbed his forehead when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. His eyes lit up, and he turned around in surprise. But the moment he saw the few people on the top of their heads, the bright moonlight in his eyes was completely extinguished in the endless darkness.
He gave a self-deprecating laugh. He had personally pushed away the person who once loved him the most. What was he still hoping for?
"Mr. Ye, are you alright? Shall I give you a ride?"
Director Chen noticed that he was not in good condition and reached out to support him.
Ye Yunting pulled his hand away: "No need, I brought a driver."
Footsteps sounded again behind her, and that familiar, petite figure emerged.
The bright moonlight shone on her, draping her in a thin veil, making her look like a celestial maiden descending from heaven.
But the fairy's hand was grasped by that man's large hand, their fingers intertwined.
Ye Yunting felt a sharp pain in his eyes and fled into the car, instructing the driver to start driving.
As the car drove away, he greedily traced the woman's figure through the glass window, as if he wanted to etch her into his heart forever.
He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hey, come out and have a drink with me."
At this moment, only drunkenness could make him temporarily forget everything and forget the heartache.
...
Director Chen scratched his head, puzzled. He couldn't help but feel that this Mr. Ye was not easy to get along with.
They seemed to dislike him quite a bit; they only helped him up, and then the person couldn't wait to leave.
Turning around, he saw Shen Yanqing leading Gu Baiwei out, and immediately smiled broadly: "President Shen, let me see you off."
Shen Yanqing raised her eyes indifferently: "No need."
After saying that, she gently took the little hand in her palm and led her to the car.
Director Chen: "..."
These two sponsors were just there for a meal, and then they left without saying a single extra word. It's ridiculous that they wasted all the time he prepared to report on the filming progress.
While Director Chen was filled with emotion, Shen Yanqing had already pulled Gu Baiwei into the car.
Su Peipei stared at the cars driving away, feeling resentful.
She went to great lengths to dress up, but that CEO Ye didn't even glance at her once; his eyes were fixed on that shameless vixen, Gu Baiwei.
And that CEO Shen, such a powerful figure, is actually Gu Baiwei's boyfriend. How come she can get what she dreams of without lifting a finger? She's not reconciled, not reconciled at all.
At that moment, a black Porsche Cayenne drove out of the parking lot. Su Peipei couldn't help but crane her neck to look over there, and saw Shen Xuan's handsome profile through the driver's side window.
Wasn't he supposed to be a poor guy with no money? How come he has such a nice car?
When the car pulled up beside the three of them, Shen Xuan smiled and waved to them: "Director Chen, Sister Mu Qing, Qing Yan, I'll take you home."
Upon hearing this, Su Peipei immediately tried to squeeze past Du Qingyan and get into the car without any hesitation.
Shen Xuan's deep eyes swept over indifferently: "Sorry, there aren't enough seats."
Director Chen leaned out from the back seat and smiled apologetically: "Well, Xiao Su, you can take a taxi home yourself. You can get the fare reimbursed by the finance department later."
Su Muqing glanced at her expressionlessly and didn't say anything more.
The black sedan quickly drove away, leaving Su Peipei standing there, her face pale.
Guo Hua pulled up in front of her in his white Buick: "Peipei, get in, I'll give you a ride."
"Who needs your delivery! Get lost!"
Su Peipei rolled her eyes; she didn't want to ride in such a dilapidated car.
Guo Hua's usually honest face showed a hint of embarrassment as he adjusted his black-rimmed glasses: "Then I'm leaving. Take care."
The car sped away, and Su Peipei stomped her feet angrily on the spot. This good-for-nothing actually left just because he told him to? What a useless piece of trash.
She bit her lower lip and hailed a taxi by the roadside.
The black Maybach stopped not far from the half-new, half-old hotel, its eye-catching license plate drawing frequent glances from passersby.
"Then I'll head back first..."
Before Gu Baiwei could finish saying goodbye, a familiar presence had already enveloped her.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was already pressed against the soft back of the seat.
The temperature inside the car gradually rose. Outside, a black Porsche Cayenne was parked not far away. Shen Xuan had a cigarette between his fingers, his deep eyes fixed on the car in front of him, his expression dark and brooding…
The next morning, Gu Baiwei had just woken up when she was startled by a loud banging on the door.
Du Qingyan's loud voice rang out at the door, more rousing than an alarm clock: "Sister Weiwei, get up quickly, something's happened."
