As Lu Zhen, carrying the exquisite gift box, opened the unit door and looked back again, Fan Xiao quickly raised the corners of his lips and offered a smile.
When the door finally closed, the smile slowly faded, and the man leaning against the car rolled his eyes, looking up at the towering building.
“I wonder which lonely lamp our Director You is keeping watch over, waiting for his lover to come home.” Fan Xiao tossed a cigarette into his mouth. “หลงใหลในคนที่รักใคร่ (The devoted lover always waits for the affectionate one).”
Fan Xiao was familiar with this place; two nights ago, You Shulang got off at the same spot. Back then, Fan Xiao wasn’t as considerate and attentive as he was today, and remained seated in the car.
At that time, he felt a little uncomfortable because of a man for the first time, and even had the idea of ending this “game”.
Therefore, she remained expressionless, simply rolling down the car window to watch You Shulang walk into the building.
The crumpled white shirt was tied around his waist, his slender waist cutting through the gentle evening breeze. Tonight, You Shulang’s steps were not as calm and steady as usual; his shoulders were relaxed and his hips were slumped, somewhat lazy but also dashing.
“ไม่มีใครดีไปกว่าคุณแล้ว (No man is more seductive than you)” Looking at the man who had provoked him but was completely unaware, Fan Xiao, sitting in the car, suddenly felt a surge of anger.
“What did you say?” You Shulang turned around and looked at him. Under the motion-activated light, you could still see the red marks left on his lips from when he had just suppressed his passion.
“I said goodnight,” Fan Xiao replied.
“Okay, goodnight.” You Shulang hesitated for a moment. “I’m sorry about tonight.”
“You Shulang”.
Fan Xiao didn’t know why he had called out to him. When the man looked at him again, the man in the car forced himself to come up with an excuse.
“You asked me out today, don’t you have any questions for me?”
You Shulang stopped, pondered for a moment, and then walked back. He leaned over the car window and looked at Fan Xiao: “I do have questions about the pharmaceutical company’s investment, but you don’t need to worry about me or me. I’m just an employee, and I won’t go hungry no matter what decision you make.”
Looking at the magnified handsome face in front of him, Fan Xiao noticed that You Shulang’s pupils seemed to be light brown, his eyelashes were not long but very thick, and his eyes were not a pair of amorous eyes, but very clear.
“Please trust my professionalism. The Acanthopanax senticosus oral liquid project has great potential. Even though we are friends, I won’t let my money go to waste. Your project has passed the initial evaluation, and the next step is to confirm the investment intention.”
Upon hearing this, You Shulang smiled easily and gave a soft “hmm”.
“Although we won’t make investment decisions casually, however…” Fan Xiao stared at the red mark on the man’s lips, “we will take our friend’s company’s business plan out of the investment department’s discarded files and re-evaluate it.”
“…” You Shulang hesitated for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled, “What else can I say? I can only say thank you.”
Fan Xiao, who was just considering ending the game, asked, “How are you going to thank me?”
Before You Shulang could answer, he added, “Don’t try to fool me with dinner invitations; it’s not enough.”
You Shulang leaned against the car window, shaking his shoulders and laughing, “So how do you want me to thank you?”
“I’ll let you know when I’ve thought it through.”
“good.”
“Do you need me to help you get revenge for what happened tonight?” Fan Xiao suddenly asked.
“Who? Xue Baotian from Ruixiang?” A hint of coldness appeared in You Shulang’s eyes. “No need, I’ll do it myself.”
“what are you up to?”
“He’s rich and powerful, I can’t go head-to-head with him.” The implication was that if an open approach wouldn’t work, You Shulang would have to resort to underhanded tactics.
Fan Xiao laughed and said, “I thought you were a saint, someone who would tolerate being taken advantage of.”
You Shulang gave a soft “damn,” straightened up, said “goodbye,” and walked towards the building entrance. He stopped halfway there, then turned around and walked back to the car.
In the moonlight, the man walked step by step into the clear light, each step seeming to step on Fan Xiao’s heart. He subconsciously held his breath, not knowing why he was so nervous.
You Shulang stopped by the car again, but instead of maintaining a proper social distance as usual, he even slightly inserted his head into the car, suddenly closing the distance between him and Fan Xiao.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” He glanced at Fan Xiao’s hands gripping the seat tightly, then restrained himself and looked away.
“What a joke.” Fan Xiao released his grip, forcing an unnatural smile.
You Shulang raised an eyebrow, reached out and lifted his trench coat, pulled out a pack of Thai cigarettes from the inner pocket, and then beckoned: “Matches.”
Fan Xiao paused for a moment, then took out a match and placed it in his hand. You Shulang took a cigarette from the pack and put it in his mouth, then straightened Fan Xiao’s clothes and patted them jokingly.
“This cigarette is really addictive.” He stepped back, stuffed the whole pack of cigarettes into his pocket, turned around with a cigarette in his mouth, and waved casually, “I’m off.”
Only after that figure disappeared did Fan Xiao finally catch his breath. He slumped back in his chair, chuckled, and cursed self-deprecatingly, “You actually thought someone wanted to kiss you? Fan Xiao, you’re fucking insane!”
