The audience at the scene, hearing Tan Qiming’s words, began murmuring among themselves. Those unfamiliar with the Fu Group’s driver positions and those from Huasheng Technology were all discussing who Ms. Wen might be...
Wen Ran had initially intended to hide.
But Tan Qiming’s voice reached her ears again: "Wen Ran, can you co up and listen to what I have to say?"
In an instant, her situation beca even more passive.
Fu Chenlie was standing on the stage, his hand casually tucked into his trouser pocket. His gaze cutting through the crowd, landing ten ters away on her figure. His darkly intense eyes were sharp, their deeper aning indecipherable.
Jiang Yan stood beside Wen Ran, unsure of what to say for the mont.
At this point, an employee of the Fu Group who recognized Wen Ran spoke up—
"Isn’t Wen Ran Mr. Fu’s driver?"
"So Tan Qiming was calling for Driver Wen? I thought he ant so Ms. Wen."
"Do you think President Tan is about to confess to Driver Wen at this banquet?"
"In such an important setting, if it’s a confession, Wen Ran will definitely rember it for life."
"Ms. Wen is beautiful, and being confessed to by soone as handso as President Tan is quite a match."
"When will sweet love ever co to ?!"
These remarks—Fu Chenlie heard so of them, Wen Ran caught parts of them too, and Jiang Yan, standing beside Wen Ran, also overheard them.
Fu Chenlie kept an emotionless face, observing the current situation with cold detachnt.
Wen Ran’s mind was a ss; she didn’t know what to do.
Jiang Yan pondered for a mont, then leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Ranran, if you don’t go up, this scene will be hard to resolve. Actually, it’s fine—if President Tan confesses, you can just reject him. You can say you have soone you like, say you’re married, say you love your husband deeply, but don’t reveal who your husband is. This way, you’ll quell Mr. Fu’s anger, keep your hidden marriage agreent intact, and tactfully decline President Tan’s feelings. It’s the best solution, probably the most foolproof plan."
Wen Ran was initially in turmoil.
Jiang Yan’s words brought her so clarity.
She felt that Ah Yan’s advice was entirely reasonable—this was exactly how she should handle it.
Then, under Fu Chenlie’s scorching gaze, she began to make her way to the stage step by step.
During this process, he had been watching her the entire ti.
The man’s handso face was unruffled, even bearing a faint and carefree smile. He was calm and poised, as if he wasn’t the least bit concerned about the situation spiraling beyond his control.
Wen Ran looked at his composed face and felt puzzled.
In the past, whenever Fu Chenlie saw her together with other n, he would exhibit possessiveness, interfere, and even speak in a sly and sarcastic tone.
But now, in this public setting, where his business partner openly nad his wife to co on stage to deliver a ssage, he didn’t rush to interject; instead, he seed so nonchalant. This only made her feel that this man’s thoughts were deeply inscrutable.
She wanted to know desperately—what was he thinking at this exact mont?
Wen Ran quickly took her place on the stage.
The crowd at the venue fell into a tacit silence. Countless pairs of eyes fixed on the center of the stage, waiting eagerly for the drama that was about to unfold.
Tan Qiming did not disappoint their anticipation.
Standing before Wen Ran, his face carried a tinge of a smile. His deeply affectionate voice transmitted from the microphone to every ear in the room: "Ms. Wen, I know we haven’t known each other for very long, but before eting you, I never had the kind of thoughts a man should naturally have toward a woman. I can’t quite explain why I admire you, but I think this is just instinctive attraction and affection—no particular reason, just the desire to get a little closer to you, then closer still."
Finishing his words, the man noticed the calm expression on her face, deducing that she probably didn’t harbor any romantic feelings toward him.
He altered the line he had originally prepared, changing "Will you be my girlfriend?" to: "Wen Ran, I like you. Can you give the chance to pursue you?"
