He Wanning glared at Qiao Liang again, stood up and walked towards Ning Yan. “God, I never imagined that one day I would see this iceberg play lovey dovey with a woman in front of my eyes! I don’t want to see this again!”

He Wanning raised his eyebrows. “Next time when we hang out, we don’t invite him and just bring Xiao Rou with us.”

Ning Yan nodded. “Good idea!”

Tang Xi covered her mouth and chuckled. “I think your friends want to dump you.”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked back at the men. Then he suddenly pulled Tang Xi into his arms. “Do you think she will go out with you if I am absent?”

The others were speechless and He Wanzhou roared. “Then neither of you will be hanging out with us again!”

Suddenly he frowned when he found a man sitting beside his sister. When he saw who this man was, he widened his eyes and lunged to his feet. “Sh*t, what are you two talking about?!”

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and stood up, saying, “I’m discussing with Miss He where we are going for our date tomorrow.” Then he gave He Wanzhou a casual smile.

Ning Yan turned his eyes to Chu Ling in astonishment and He Wanzhou jumped up. “When did you two start to see each other? Why didn’t I know?”

Tang Xi also looked at Chu Ling with interest, while Li Manyan, as He Wanyi’s fan, was blessing them in her heart.

President Chu? With Miss Wanyi? Good God! They two simply made a perfect match!

A gleam of chagrin flicked across He Wanyi’s eyes when she was stared at by the others with interest. She glared at Chu Ling hard and put down the microphone in embarrassment. She then stood up and curled her lips. “Don’t take it the wrong way. We’re not seeing each other. I lost a bet with him, so I agreed to go on a date with him. That’s all.”

Then the people turned their eyes to Chu Ling and even Qiao Liang looked interested. Chu Ling stood up casually and said with a faint smile. “Hey, what are you guys doing? Why are you giving me this look? Miss Wanyi and I are both single. Why can’t we date?

Qiao Liang shook his head and took a sip of the wine. At this time, the door was pushed open and three people came in. Wen Ning took Lu Li’s arm, following whom was Jin Han. Seeing Jin Han, Li Manyan rushed up and took his arm, complaining, “Why did you come so late? Do you know that I’m worried about you?”

Jin Han took a look at Li Manyan who gave him a sweet smile and led him to sit beside her.

Lu Li looked around and rested his gaze at Chu Ling. “I heard you were seeing someone? Who is that girl?”

Tang Xi greeted Wen Ning with a smile and the latter handed her a bouquet of flowers, saying, “Congratulations, the clothes today are all so beautiful. I like them all. I hope you can accept me, a girl without any fashion taste, to be your customer.”

Tang Xi took over the bouquet all smiles. “Thank you, Sister Wen Ning. It’s my honor that you like our products.”

He Wanyi didn’t want to steal Tang Xi’s thunder because of Chu Ling’s stupid joke, so she glanced at him unhappily. Noticing her emotion, Chu Ling looked at her and smiled, explaining, “Don’t misunderstand us. It’s true that Miss He only agrees to date me because she lost a bet with me.”

Hearing his words, Lu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled at him. “Don’t wanna be single anymore?”

Wen Ning took a look at Chu Ling and raised her eyebrows. “Chu Ling, have you come back to Long Xiao?”

“Yes, they begged me to come back. Otherwise, I’d rather enjoy the freedom.” Chu Ling shrugged, came up to Wen Ning and handed her a glass of wine. “I’m tired of playing the cat-and-mouse game with them. Since they begged me, I just agreed. How about you? Are you going to quit your job?”

Wen Ning took over the glass and clinked glasses with Chu Ling. She took a sip of the wine and shook her head. “Why should I? Of course not. But since you’re tired of playing the cat-and-mouse game with them, you can...”

“Hey, I was not saying I was the mouse, alright?” Chu Ling raised his forefinger and shook it. “The one who is chased is the mouse, but are you sure I was chased by them? In fact, they were chased by me!”

Wen Ning snorted. “Yes, I believe every single word you said.”

Lu Li put his arm around Wen Ning’s waist and led her to sit down. “Don’t talk about this boring topic. Let’s sit down.”

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows at Wen Ning and sat beside He Wanyi who glared at him. “Don’t sit here!”

Chu Ling looked around at the room and asked He Wanyi, “Then where can I sit?”

He Wanyi looked around at the room too only to find that there wasn’t any seat unoccupied, so she could only shut up unhappily. Seeing this, Tang Xi smiled and shook her head. “They look just like a couple in a quarrel.”

Ning Yan who had been silent frowned and looked at Tang Xi. “Rourou, why don’t you sing a song for us?”

Tang Xi looked at him and then at Qiao Liang. Did she say anything wrong?

Oh yes... Tang Xi tapped her own head in chagrin. She knew who the man Sister Wanyi loved was... God, Sister Wanyi must be angry at her!

Thinking of this, Tang Xi said, “I seem to be drunk. I do need to sing a song to sober up.” Then she reached out towards Qiao Liang. “Mind singing with me?”

Ning Yan took a look at Tang Xi and shook his head with a smile. The man He Wanyi actually loved was Xiao Yao!

He took a sip of the wine, looked at He Wanyi and sighed. When could this girl stop torturing herself?

Tang Xi selected the song “The Most Romantic Thing” and invited Qiao Liang to sing this song with her. When Qiao Liang’s cello-like voice sang out, all the other who had never heard him sing a song gaped.

He Wanzhou raised his eyebrows. “I didn’t know Qiao Liang was so good at singing.”

Tang Xi surely knew this. She often asked him to sing her songs in the past, but he rarely agreed. Today she just tried asking him to sing a song for her, to her surprise, he agreed!
