Chapter 25: 025 How else can the National Couple show off?
Gu Chengyu definitely did it on purpose; he wanted Shi Lan to see his attitude and get her to back off.
Chen Beini understood his intention too and put on an act, coquettishly saying, “Chengyu, are we, is this really okay? Don’t treat An Lan like this.”
Far from letting go of Chen Beini’s hand, Gu Chengyu gripped it even tighter, “Everyone in the group knows about our relationship, there’s no need to sneak around.”
Everyone at the table knew that the National Couple was targeting Shi Lan.
At that mont, the banquet hall suddenly stirred as Yan Shixiu, dressed in formal attire and accompanied by an assistant, entered from the lobby and walked straight to the main creative team’s table, finally stopping beside Shi Lan.
The entire table watched Yan Shixiu’s unexpected arrival, becoming quite reserved.
Especially Gu Chengyu, who still felt the humiliation from yesterday in Huahai heavy in his heart.
But faced with this man who in appearance, aura, and ability thoroughly outclassed him in every aspect, he couldn’t utter a single word.
Staff mbers from other tables sent over their gossip-filled glances.
“Is that Huahai’s General Manager Yan!?”
“Why would he suddenly show up? And sit next to An Lan?”
“Just now, I was feeling sorry for An Lan, but now with General Manager Yan sitting by her side, isn’t this an imnse honor?”
Shi Lan only sensed a familiar aura and turned her head in surprise upon seeing Yan Shixiu; that was actually the bastard’s seat!
The assistant moved a chair for Yan Shixiu, who then sat down without hesitation.
Shi Lan moved a bit forward and Yan Shixiu moved a bit back, but the distance between them was very close.
One in front and the other behind, their positioning was slightly misaligned, but to those across from them, the two seed to be leaning together, sharing an inexplicably intimate vibe.
Shi Lan didn’t feel anything amiss because in her previous life, she and the bastard were husband and wife, so there was no sense of personal space; she didn’t think to act unfamiliar, but to others, the scene looked extrely… bizarre.
Normally, people instinctively keep their distance when a stranger is too close, but these two appeared so natural and familiar with each other’s proximity.
An Lan?
Yan Shixiu?
Two individuals with a vast difference in status and identity?
Seeing this scene, how could the National Couple continue to show off? Who would pay them any attention now?
Director Tang also noticed sothing and said to Shi Lan, “An Lan, why didn’t you greet General Manager Yan?”
“Hello, General Manager Yan.” Shi Lan had no energy, both sleepy and annoyed.
“Feeling tired?” Yan Shixiu’s voice was cool, betraying no emotion, yet sohow making people feel scared and intimidated.
“Mm, just joined the group, not quite used to it yet.” Shi Lan answered listlessly. Had it been her forr life, Miss Shi would have slamd the table and walked out in this type of situation, not giving a damn about any couple or director.
“If you need anything, have your broker raise it with Huahai,” responded Yan Shixiu, in an official manner that made things even less clear. Were these two really not acquainted? Not familiar, yet so close?
“Since General Manager Yan has arrived, let’s start the al,” thought Director Tang, suspecting that Yan Shixiu might speak up about the racecourse matter midway through.
Yan Shixiu didn’t move, leaning against his chair, so nobody else moved either.
Shi Lan didn’t pay attention to the others; she picked up her chopsticks, scrutinized all the dishes, and finally picked up a piece of pastry, placing it in her bowl. After taking a bite and pausing, she then placed the remaining portion in Yan Shixiu’s plate beside her.
What the hell is this? Way too sweet!
She did this out of habit, but everyone watched Shi Lan’s action in astonishnt.
Everyone: “???”
