The light from the chandelier shone silver on Zhou Guangtao's face. He Yufan looked up and found that Zhou Guangtao seemed even more handsome than before, "Alright then, I'll call you Brother Guangtao from now on." She responded with ease.
Yan Luoxi stood up at this moment, affectionately linking her arm with He Yufan's as she excitedly said, "Brother Guangtao, how coincidental! Today I actually ran into Yufan on the street. This really made me so happy!"
"Mm, that is indeed good news. Why didn't you call me earlier I would have invited both of you out for a meal; we could spend some quality time together." Zhou Guangtao exhaled a mouthful of alcohol fumes. He had truly drunk too much tonight. Looking at the two women standing side by side, he felt his eyes were treated to a feast.
The two girls shared youthful beauty and pretty faces. Only He Yufan wore exquisite and delicate makeup that made her glow brilliantly with radiance; Yan Luoxi was pure and tender, like a crystal glass polished to gleaming transparency, sparkling and clear.
"If Brother Guangtao really wants to treat us to a meal, there's no rush for tomorrow or the day after. Anyway, I'm not in any hurry to leave. Only, I fear Brother Guangtao might be busy with important matters now and won't have time for me!" He Yufan's long eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her whole person seemed to sparkle almost brilliantly.
"Inviting people out for a meal is no big deal; you not being in any hurry to leave is great. Stay here longer so that you can keep Luoxi company. I've been too busy these days and haven't had time to spend with her, making her feel neglected." Zhou Guangtao looked at Yan Luoxi affectionately, his gaze filled with apologies.
He Yufan seemed somewhat dispirited as she thought quickly and deliberately said, "Brother Guangtao must be tired from a day's work. You should rest soon. Luoxi and I will go back to our room now."
Zhou Guangtao chuckled and nodded at them both before bidding goodnight.
Seeing them, his little sisters, walk into the house親密地手牽手, Zhou Guangtao couldn't help but sigh again. After entering society, He Yufan has changed a lot; she knows how to have fun and be reserved in moderation. Compared to Yan Loxi, she is much more mature.
Yan Loxi and He Yufan returned to their room, washed up, then lay down on the bed chatting for quite some time before finally falling asleep.
The next morning, due to staying up too late the previous night, Yan Loxi and He Yufan both woke up late. When they got up, Zhou Guangtao had already left. On the table were breakfast items he bought for them: fragrant small steamed buns, seaweed egg drop soup, thick chicken noodle porridge, and sautéed shredded pork with bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms.
He Yufan yawned as she said with admiration, "Loxi, you truly found the best husband of this century."
Holding a small steamed bun, Yan Loxi savored the thick and sticky chicken noodle porridge, which warmed her stomach. She smiled contentedly.
After leaving home, Yan Loxi and He Yufan bid each other farewell before hurrying off to their respective workplaces; Yan Loxi went to the company while He Yufan headed to the hotel where her colleagues were staying.
Zhou Guangtao has been very busy lately. This morning when he got up, seeing no signs of activity in Yan Loxi's room, he guessed that the two little sisters must have chatted too late into the night and overslept.
He originally planned to wake them up but then thought it would be inconvenient for He Yufan who was inside. Moreover, his time was tight; waking them up might mean more chatting which he didn't have time for.
After the company operations got back on track, they suddenly entered a different kind of life state, where every day is busy. From building a company from scratch to its current formal operation, there are numerous tasks and it has taken up all his time.
As the number of clients he invested in grew, so did his pressure. His days were filled with work, social engagements, and dinners, leaving little time for intimate moments with Yan Luoxi.
In the afternoon, there was an important contract to discuss. He brought his assistant Gao Tianze to the designated meeting room where he saw someone that reminded him of a familiar saying: "One is bound to meet one's old acquaintances in this world."
He Yufan wore a gray suit with a diagonal cut, looking radiant and outstanding among two rows of elites. Even Gao Tianze, who was proud and arrogant, couldn't help but notice her.
This wasn’t the right time to reminisce, so Zhou Guangtao only cast a glance at He Yufan, who responded with just a subtle raise of an eyebrow. They sat on opposite sides.
The contract was not difficult to negotiate; the other party's investment project was small and their intention clear. It didn't take much negotiation before they came to an agreement. During the meeting, Zhou Guangtao mostly controlled the conversation, leaving He Yufan with little opportunity to speak.
He Yufan was merely a supporting character this time around. She twirled her pen as she watched Zhou Guangtao talk confidently in his white shirt under the backlight, his hair glowing faintly and him looking lively. Seeing Zhou Guangtao just across from her made her feel unexpectedly cheerful.
As they dispersed for lunchtime dinner, the business manager of He Yufan's company warmly invited Zhou Guangtao and Gao Tianze to have dinner together.
Zhou Guangtao initially wanted to decline since he had spent little time with Yan Luoxi lately and wished to spend some alone time eating a meal with her.
He Yufan, with graceful eyes and a smile on her face, said, "General Manager Zhou, we know you're busy, but even the busiest person needs to eat! We sincerely invite you for dinner. If you decline, it would seem that you think our food isn't good enough!"
He YuFan spoke up, and Zhou GuangTao couldn't refuse anymore. "Alright, let's eat together, but since you're the guest, this meal is on me." As he said this, he gestured toward Gao TianZe beside him.
Gao TianZe was young and handsome, with a lively personality; upon hearing Zhou GuangTao's suggestion, he immediately agreed. "How about we go eat fish by the river The fish there are freshly caught and cooked on the spot, ensuring great flavor."
Seeing that Zhou GuangTao had agreed, everyone's mood lifted, and they chatted happily as they got into their cars. He YuFan seemed to deliberately sit in Zhou GuangTao's imported business car, which looked very expensive.
The restaurant by the river was designed like a boat, with red lanterns hanging from each corner. The fish were kept in a designated large lake and fed no artificial feed; they were freshly caught and cooked right then and there, ensuring freshness.
Zhou GuangTao and Gao TianZe were regular customers here, so even though it was an impromptu visit, the boss still reserved a private room overlooking the river for them. With all the windows open, everyone felt as if they were already tipsy from the beautiful lake scenery.
Zhou GuangTao ordered steamed shad and pickled chili fish head among other specialties. The clay pot was bubbling with creamy fish soup in which white fish balls floated, along with self-brewed beer that had a delicate froth and fragrance.
The atmosphere here differed from the quietness of Western restaurants; it was lively with unrestrained chatter in various languages, making everyone feel relaxed and at ease.
At the dinner table, He YuFan displayed her eloquence and grace to perfection. She looked around flirtatiously while engaging in conversation that catered to each guest's preferences, leading to a lively atmosphere of laughter and clinking glasses.
Zhou GuangTao was impressed by He YuFan’s ability to navigate social situations smoothly and adeptly; she had the capability and boldness needed for public relations work. His company currently lacked such talent. left the bathroom to avoid leaving any room for imagination in others’ minds.Fuming, Yan Luoxi retreated into her own room.
