When the two of them returned to the company, Wen Yanqing began to get busy. Lin Gantang leaned over his desk and took a few glances. There were all proposals and contracts, and the computer was on, filled with documents all in English.
Unable to comprehend them, Lin Gantang pulled her head back and walked to the French window.
Lin Gantang spotted the iconic Ferris wheel at a glance. Despite the distance making it appear smaller, it was stationary during the day, standing quietly.
Lin Gantangâs sense of direction was a little lacking, compounded by the tall buildings, making it challenging to locate Hejiang Square.
She returned to the sofa. Secretary Wang knocked on the door and entered, bringing Wen Yanqing a cup of coffee and a glass of milk. Then, he went out to fetch a few womenâs fashion magazines for her.
âThank you.â Lin Gantang accepted them with a smile.
âYouâre welcome. Itâs what the CEO instructed,â Secretary Wang shyly replied.
The office fell silent. Lin Gantang took a sip of the milk in her glass. It was pure milk without any added ingredients, with a particularly rich milky fragrance.
As she drank, she observed Wen Yanqing picking up the coffee and sipping it slowly, his eyes not leaving the documents.
Lin Gantangâs attention shifted to his coffee.
She approached lightly, touched the coffee cup, sniffed it, and took a sip.
Coughâ¦
It was bitter!
Lin Gantang swallowed it and hurriedly returned to her milk.
Seeing her expression of distaste, Wen Yanqing smiled and said, âItâs for refreshing.â
Lin Gantang, who had played a trick on herself, quipped, âLife is already tough enough. No! Sugar, it must have sugar!â
She turned around and asked Secretary Wang for some sugar.
Wen Yanqing chuckled. There was a faint trace of red lipstick on the rim of the coffee cup as he took another sip.
Where was the bitterness?
It was slightly sweet.
Lin Gantang, who had just returned, threw in several sugar cubes in frustration. She stirred them and tasted it again, her eyes brightening.
The taste was not bad, and she drank about half of it.
Lin Gantang returned to the sofa and secretly took pictures to complain to Ye Qiuqiu.
âToday, 1 tasted extremely bitter coffee that almost sent me to the heavens.â
After a while, her phone vibrated vigorously. Lin Gantang could practically sense Ye Qiuqiuâs anger through the screen.
âLook at the others!â
âLook at that hand! That suit! That hardworking man! Is he handsome or not?!â
âYou only have eyes for coffee?â
âYou only have eyes for coffee?â
Lin Gantang was at a loss for words.
âI suspect youâre flaunting your handsome boyfriend to me!â
âI didnât capture his face.â
Ye Qiuqiu didnât care and sent five photos in a row. âMy husband is also very handsome, super handsome!!!â
The continuous exclamation marks reminded Lin Gantang of an infuriated cat, and she burst into laughter.
An hour later, Wen Yanqing finished his work. Lin Gantang checked the time and expressed her desire to go to the Elegant Restaurant.
Last time, when she came with Wen Yanqing, they encountered Gu Shuyue and Gu Zhichuan, and it spoiled her appetite. This time, Lin Gantang directly requested a private room.
âI found out last time with Bei bei that they have new dishes here, and they taste quite good. Would you like to give them a try?â She asked him.
Seeing his agreement, Lin Gantang ordered a few dishes with a smile.
Lin Gantang had initially thought about taking a stroll around, but she figured that Wen Yanqing must be tired after returning from his business trip.
After finishing their meal, she mentioned that she would head back first. Wen Yanqing nodded in agreement.
As Lin Gantang and he walked out of the private room, they saw Yin Zhen approaching with a man.
Yin Zhen usually preferred formal wear when working, appearing neat and sharp. However, now she was dressed in a red dress, combined with her striking makeup, she looked charming.
Lin Gantang recognized the man beside her as Gao Ruikun.
Yin Zhen was also taken aback to see her and was even more surprised by the close relationship between Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing.
However, Yin Zhen knew that she didnât have much to talk about with Lin Gantang, so she greeted Wen Yanqing, âMr. Wen, what a coincidence.â
Wen Yanqing nodded..
