s shouting beside her, and said to the security guard, "The car is already waiting downstairs. You send Mr. He there. What you should say and what you shouldn't say, you know yourself."The security gu...His gaze was too intense, and Yanzhi stiffened, standing up straight. "I'm sorry."

Her movements were a little larger, the slit of her cheongsam swaying back and forth, her round and long legs captivating.

She had a very noticeable scar on her leg, but it didn't make her look ugly. Instead, it harmonized with the patterns on her cheongsam, adding a touch of allure to her.

Several pairs of eyes settled on her, their gaze direct and unashamed.

He lowered his wine glass, a flicker of depth appearing in his eyes.

He leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, and said coldly, "Get out."

The new girl just doesn't know any better, always squeezing herself into the most crowded spots. I have plenty of room here on the couch, come sit with me." someone chuckled, patting the sofa.

"Haha... It's rare to see Mr. Liu showing such kindness and consideration. Just be careful your wife finds out, or you'll be scrubbing the floor at home."

To die beneath the peony blooms, even as a ghost I would be romantic!

He stared at Hua Chengwan, his thin lips pressed into a tight line, his eyes dark and unreadable.

"Thank you, General Liu, but it's alright." Xiang Wan suppressed the feeling of humiliation and tried to raise the corners of her lips. "General He doesn't like me sitting beside him, I'll just stand here."

"Is Mr. Liu being rejected" someone laughed.

Liu smiled helplessly and said, "Oh well, there's no way around it. President He is a young talent with great charisma, I am simply not as good. That's alright though, this way I won't have to scrub the floor at home."

The crowd burst into laughter, and the conversation quickly returned to work.

Ge Hanchuan didn't let Xiangwan leave, but he also didn't look at her again, treating her as if she were invisible.

Everyone was laughing and chatting about business, he just occasionally said a word or two, the rest of the time he just sat quietly.

Even so, no one dared to ignore him. People appeared to chat casually, but they would occasionally glance at him, and if anything seemed amiss, they would change the subject.

"To have Mr. He here today is a real honor for us. I'd like to raise a toast to Mr. He and everyone here!" Someone stood up, smiling as they raised their glass towards He Hanchuan and the others.

Others stood up too, raising their glasses in a toast.

He Hanchuan stood up last, raising his glass to everyone in a toast.

"Huo Zong's tolerance for alcohol isn't good, I'll take it for you." Xiang Wan finished curving her lips and said softly.

Everyone was stunned, looking at her with puzzled expressions. This princess, was she going to drink on behalf of Mr. He

He lowered his gaze to look at Xiang Wan, and after a moment, picked up the wine bottle and poured some more into her glass before handing it to her.

The scarlet liquid rippled gently in the highball glass, a mesmerizing and dreamlike beauty. Xiangwan delicately pursed her lips, accepting the cup without hesitation, and drained it in one swift gulp.

"What a great drinker, such a beautiful lady!" someone clapped their hands and laughed mischievously, "Come on, have another cup."

The expensive red wine snaked down the sides of the glass, its aroma filling the room. The stemmed glasses, emptied only moments ago, were quickly refilled.

向晚 sipped her red wine, glancing sideways at He Hanchuan.

He sat on the sofa, his handsome face shrouded in shadow, his expression unreadable. It was clear, however, that he wasn't looking at her.

She tugged at her lips, gave a self-deprecating smile, picked up the red wine and gestured to a few old executives, then tilted her head back and drank the wine down, bitterness included.

Helian Chuan crossed his legs, switching their order. He rested his left hand on his knee, his peripheral vision falling on the empty glass of wine where Xiang Wan had been sitting.

He furrowed his brow slightly, then quickly looked away.

"I just love this, it's so refreshing!"

"It was refreshing, but such a good wine shouldn't be wasted like this."

"Don't say things that dampen the mood, let's have another toast."

向晚 stood in the center of these men who could be her father, hardly managing a smile as she raised her glass once more.

Her stomach was already churning, but she didn't hesitate for a moment, drinking it down again.

As long as she could please He Hanchuan and make him spare her, what pain was a small thing

Seeing her laughing and taking sip after sip of the wine a man passed her, He Hanchuan raised his hand to loosen his tie, but the tightness in his chest didn't ease.

He bowed his head and pulled out a cigarette, holding it between his long index finger and middle finger. The high-quality suit showed irregular creases from bending over.

"Let me light one for you." Xiang Wan endured the burning sensation in her stomach, walked to He Hanchuan's side and squatted down. She picked up the gold-plated lighter on the table, struck it, and gently brought it to his cigarette.

Her eyes reflected dancing golden flames, gazing up at him with such vividness, yet the shadow of that defiant Xiang Jia young miss was gone forever.

Ge Hanchuan lowered his eyes to look at her, paused for a moment, then brought the cigarette to his lips, took a puff, and exhaled a plume of smoke.

Waena closed the lighter, put it back on the table, and stood silently behind him.

Before he could finish his cigarette and raise his glass to drink, she immediately bent down and carefully poured him a drink.

As for the other few people who were smoking or drinking, it had nothing to do with her, and she never went forward.

Others laughed and said that Xiangwan only had eyes for He Hanchuan.

After a while, several people left one after another, leaving only Xiangwan and He Hanchuan in the room.

"Even a cleaning lady isn't at peace, she still finds time to seduce people. Xiang Wan, you are truly despicable." He Hanchuan glanced at her cheongsam that was almost open to her thighs, his voice piercingly cold.

"You misunderstood me." Her stomach ached as if it were being scraped and burned. Xiang Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead, lowering her eyes and meekly saying, "The manager told me to return to my original post."

Inferior... She remembered him calling her promiscuous before, she was truly pathetic in his eyes.

He frowned, didn't speak again, and walked past her. As he reached the door, he stopped, "Don't drink if you have a stomach problem."

Xiangwan's movements of rubbing her stomach came to a halt, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Is he... worried about her

She turned to look at his back. Before she could utter the word "thank you," he coldly said, “I don’t want to hear anything about Dream Will abusing employees to death.”

After finishing his words, he strode out the door.

Towards Evening stared at the empty doorway, her heart warmed by the spring breeze instantly freezing over like ice and snow, even her limbs grew cold.

She rubbed her slightly dizzy head and chuckled to herself, had she had too much to drink

She was so drunk she thought he would care.

In the hallway.

The pale purple floral qipao with a high slit kept flashing in He Hanchuan's mind. The long and alluring thighs occasionally appeared and disappeared, stirring a nameless unease within him.

I can't say if I'm angry or something else, just that today I find the cheongsam especially eye-catching, and... this isn't the first time he's felt something for Xiang Wan.

He loosened his tie and quickened his pace. As he passed his supervisor's office, he overheard a male voice inside —

"I recently got a new item, I wonder if Mr. Yang would be interested Well, it's a jade pendant, from the Ming Dynasty. I'd like you to have a look at it."

He Ge's mind flashed with Xiang Wan's empty neck tonight, and his pace slowed. He tilted his head to glance at the door with a slit of light, stopped, and after a moment, pushed it open and walked in.
