Seeing Hu Yunshan staring at her as if he'd lost his soul, Lin Huanxi felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
She had encountered such invasive gazes far too many times!
"Apologies, I was just stunned by Miss Lin's beauty. My apologies."
Hu Yunshan was a straightforward person, knowing that making excuses would only lower his image, so he deliberately flattered her.
He extended his hand to shake Lin Huanxi's, but this time he didn't rush to take advantage.
He understood the principle that haste makes waste.
Outside the hotel glass, Ye Qiu was staring intently at Hu Yunshan's greasy face.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent. As a man, how could he not understand that lecherous look?
What a greasy old man, daring to make a move on his wife!
While he was extremely angry, a flash of excitement and inexplicable thrill appeared in his eyes, only to vanish quickly.
Seeing that Hu Yunshan didn't take advantage when shaking hands, Lin Huanxi relaxed her guard a bit.
She had encountered many sleazy men in business who wouldn't let go once they got a chance to shake hands.
"President Hu, which new project is your company looking to collaborate on with us this time? If it's convenient, I can arrange for my staff to go to the site now..."
Eager to secure this order, Lin Huanxi got straight to the point.
Before she could finish, Hu Yunshan waved his hand and laughed.
"President Lin, let's eat first today. We can talk about work after the meal, okay? It's important to relax and rest when it's time to, or else one can easily get worn out, especially a beauty like you."
"Alright, I was being too hasty."
Lin Huanxi also felt she was a bit too anxious today.
But after losing two big orders, she couldn't help but be anxious.
If she couldn't secure new orders within a month to keep the company running, the company would be doomed when the cash flow breaks.
"Let's not talk about it, let's order first."
Hu Yunshan handed a thick menu to Lin Huanxi.
Lin Huanxi picked two dishes from the menu and said, "I'm done ordering, President Hu, it's your turn."
"Their braised chicken is a must-try, you can't miss it."
Hu Yunshan, a regular at this restaurant, smiled as he ordered a few dishes.
A waiter approached the table, none other than Tang Yu in disguise, now looking like an ordinary young man.
"Have you two distinguished guests decided? Would you like me to recommend our signature dishes?"
Tang Yu smiled as he approached, but there was a hint of disdain in his gaze towards Hu Yunshan.
[Damn, this guy must weigh at least two hundred pounds if not three hundred.]
[That belly, at least eight months pregnant level, can't even see his toes.]
[Such a fat pig, and he has the nerve to make a move on Lin Huanxi? Truly disgusting.]
He silently mocked in his heart.
Lin Huanxi's face showed a trace of shock and delight upon hearing Tang Yu's inner voice.
The voice she heard at her grandfather's birthday banquet had finally appeared again.
Could her guardian angel have been watching over her all along?
And what does it mean by making a move on her? Could President Hu really have ill intentions?
"No need for you to rush me, I'm quite familiar with your place. Just give me a moment to decide on a soup."
Hu Yunshan looked a bit impatient, needing a waiter to guide him on ordering?
Such low-level people couldn't even afford a meal here with a month's salary.
Tang Yu smiled and waited on the side, continuing his inner monologue.
[Order whatever you want, because once you're done, Ye Qiu will definitely spill the soup on you.]
[He's been lurking outside the road for a while now, probably itching to kill you.]
[But neither of you are good people.]
[One lusts after beauty, taking advantage of Lin Huanxi's business difficulties to exploit her, deliberately leaving the company seal at home as an excuse to lure her back for your convenience.]
[The other one isn't any better.]
[Deliberately causing Lin Huanxi's company to lose orders, putting her in a helpless situation.]
[Then playing the hero, bringing a big order to Lin Huanxi's company.]
[Trying to prove he's not just a gigolo, gaining favor from Lin Huanxi. What a scheme.]
As Hu Yunshan slowly ordered, Tang Yu mocked the entire plot in his mind.
After hearing all this, Lin Huanxi's body trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She wasn't surprised by Hu Yunshan's ill intentions; men with power and influence often did such things.
But to hear that Ye Qiu was involved in such schemes was hard for her to accept.
After five years with this man, Lin Huanxi only thought of him as arrogant and self-righteous, never imagining he would plot against her.
Lin Huanxi bit her lip gently, feeling a bit pained inside.
Although she didn't like him, she hadn't wronged him in any way. Why would he treat her ?
At this moment, Ye Qiu was still silently waiting for his moment to act.
As a Heavenly Realm expert, he could hear their conversation clearly even from twenty meters away if he concentrated!
"When this greasy man offends my wife later, I'll teach him a lesson and secure an order for my wife. That should increase her affection for me, and maybe in a few days, she'll let me into her room."
He chuckled to himself, already fantasizing about Lin Huanxi being with him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
After leisurely finishing his order, Hu Yunshan handed the menu to Tang Yu and said, "Bring me a bottle of '82 Lafite."
Tang Yu couldn't even be bothered to mock anymore.
He didn't understand why in urban feel-good novels, '82 Lafite seemed to be in endless supply.
And systems always liked to reward Lamborghini Veneno, which he was fortunate enough to have.
Soon, the kitchen began delivering the dishes one by one.
Tang Yu also brought over the '82 wine, helpfully opening it before stepping back a few meters to watch the show.
"Miss Lin, let me toast to you first."
Hu Yunshan's address for Lin Huanxi changed from President Lin to Miss Lin.
"President Hu, you're too kind."
Lin Huanxi forced a smile as she clinked glasses, inwardly wishing Hu Yunshan would rot away.
She now fully believed in the voice of her guardian angel, knowing things would unfold as he said.
But she regretted that after the guardian angel's warning, there was no further communication.
If possible, she... wanted to hear more of this caring, warm voice.
This warmth was something she had never experienced even at home.
Even her parents, who raised her, always thought about marrying her off to a good family.
They never asked if she was willing, as if her path had to be arranged by them.
After clinking glasses, the two chatted over food and drinks for a while.
Seeing that Lin Huanxi wasn't responding to his suggestive jokes, Hu Yunshan cursed her inwardly for being uncooperative.
He knew this woman was very proud, and it wouldn't be easy to win her over; otherwise, many people in Yanjing would have succeeded already.
Not pursuing her was one thing.
Wanting to sleep with her was another matter entirely.
