At that time, before he went to the UK, he hadn’t broken up with Han Yaxin, and Han Yaxin had said she would wait for his return. But he had just been gone for less than two months when Han Yaxin got a new boyfriend. Since then, Gu Nanxi hadn’t contacted her, and even changed his phone number.
Han Yaxin’s eyelashes trembled with grievance: "I admit I had a new boyfriend, but later I found I couldn’t forget you at all, and we broke up quickly."
"So why did you ask me here today?"
Gu Nanxi looked at Han Yaxin with a knowing question, a look on his deep and defined eyebrows and eyes that was impossible to decipher.
Han Yaxin leaned closer to Gu Nanxi, her misty pupils filled with a damp haze: "I want to get back together with you, to be your girlfriend again."
Gu Nanxi lowered his eyes and raised his hand to pinch her jaw: "How can you prove you haven’t forgotten me?"
"You can’t possibly ask me to dig my heart out to show you."
Han Yaxin’s clear eyes held poignant tenderness. She took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Gu Nanxi’s neck, her red lips accurately and unmistakably kissed him.
Gu Nanxi furrowed his brows slightly, raising his hand to push the clinging Han Yaxin away: "I haven’t agreed to anything yet."
"Could it be that you no longer like me, or do you already have a girlfriend?"
Gu Nanxi bent down to extinguish the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, his stern face showing no emotion: "I’m going to the restroom. You go ahead and eat first."
Watching Gu Nanxi walk out of the private room, Han Yaxin took out a mirror from her bag and touched up her makeup, planning to be more proactive later.
When Gu Nanxi came out of the restroom, he coincidentally saw Zhang Ming walking toward the private room. He frowned and called out to him: "Didn’t I tell you to accompany President Wang of Time Creation Company? Why are you here?"
Upon hearing the voice, the intoxicated Zhang Ming turned around, instantly sobering up when he saw Gu Nanxi: "President Gu, when Assistant Zhong called me, I had already scheduled another client and couldn’t cancel it, so Assistant Zhong went herself."
Gu Nanxi’s eyes flashed sharply at Zhang Ming before turning away to stride into the elevator.
Usually, Gu Nanxi had a cold demeanor, and now with that look in his eyes, Zhang Ming suddenly felt a chill run up his spine, yet he had no idea what he had done wrong.
After exiting the elevator, Gu Nanxi drove off. President Wang of Time Creation Company was notorious for being lecherous, and sending Zhong Li, a woman, to negotiate the contract was clearly inviting him to take advantage.
........
In the private room of Jinyuan Restaurant, President Wang was holding up a glass to toast Zhong Li with wine. Zhong Li had already drunk a lot and really couldn’t drink any more. She smiled charmingly as she placed President Wang’s wine glass back on the table: "President Wang, if we get drunk, we won’t be able to sign the contract. How about we sign the contract first, then I’ll keep you company until we drop."
"It seems Miss Zhong’s sincerity isn’t enough. How can you refuse a toast from our President Wang? As long as our President Wang is happy, the contract won’t be an issue."
A subordinate of President Wang sitting at the dining table commented pointedly.
Before Zhong Li could speak, President Wang’s hand naturally fell on her leg, and Zhong Li’s eyes suddenly sharpened: "Please, remove your hand, President Wang."
"Don’t pretend to be pure. Aren’t you salespeople all the same? Spend one night with me and the contract is signed immediately."
