While waiting for her coffee, Xu Wantang didn't sit idle either.

She was also thinking about Li Shao.

A gentleman is humble.

There was only one thing that was off: the way he looked at Xu Shengze was strange.

Xu Wantang doesn't even trust Xu Shengze, so how could she possibly trust a man who suddenly appears?

Just then, other company employees arrived at the coffee room.

Aside from delivering things to Xu Shengze when she was a teenager, the Xu family forbade Xu Wantang from coming here. Almost none of the Xu family employees recognized her.

The two companions only glanced at her back before assuming she was a colleague and began making tea and chatting amongst themselves.

"I heard the elevator downstairs is malfunctioning."

"It was fine this morning, and besides, wasn't the elevator checked just two days ago?"

"I don't know, but I heard that Manager Li and a very beautiful woman were locked up inside."

"Isn't Manager Li overjoyed? Hasn't he been looking for a girlfriend all this time?"

"Pfft, you'd have to be really lucky to be his girlfriend."

The two finished speaking with smiles and left.

Xu Wantang turned around and watched the two figures leave.

What does it mean to have a strong birth chart?

A moment later, she brought the coffee into the conference room.

I didn't expect Cen Yuan to have already left.

Xu Shengze and Cen Shichuan both looked rather grim.

When Xu Wantang put out the coffee, the two men stared intently at her.

They almost unanimously agreed.

Why do you call him "Second Brother"?

Why do you call him "Second Brother"?

Xu Shengze said, "You're not familiar with the Second Young Master, it's not proper for you to call him 'brother'! You only have me as your brother."

Cen Shichuan coldly emphasized, "Second Brother doesn't like people trying to get close to him."

Xu Wantang felt confused. What were they in such a hurry for?

"It seems the second young master didn't refuse."

"..."

The two shut up.

Cen Shichuan's face darkened, and he was about to confront Xu Wantang.

Xu Shengze quickly stood up: "It's about time, let's find a place to eat first. Shi Chuan, let's talk about what's going on."

Cen Shichuan nodded, but his expression remained serious.

I've been annoyed enough by Xu Chuxue's constant crying these past few days.

Xu Chuxue is experiencing some noticeable side effects from her cosmetic surgery. She keeps complaining of soreness in her facial muscles, which the doctor says is due to the adaptation period.

The only thing we can do is increase the dosage of the medication to make her feel more comfortable.

Xu Chuxue kept talking about her sacrifices, leaving Cen Shichuan with no choice but to stay by her side.

For the first time, he found Xu Chuxue too noisy.

Despite his demanding requirements, Xu Wantang took care of him for almost a year without ever uttering a single complaint.

They didn't even talk about their contributions.

But now that he wants to get along well with Xu Wantang, he finds that she is drifting further and further away from him.

She might even call Cen Yuan "Second Brother" in a sweet, coquettish voice in places he doesn't know about.

The more he thought about it, the less calm he became.

Cen Shichuan looked at Xu Wantang, his possessiveness almost overflowing.

"Let's go to a restaurant, sit down, and talk slowly."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang was also hungry.

The three arrived at the restaurant and took their seats. Cen Shichuan handed them the menu.

"Order whatever you like."

Just as Xu Wantang was about to take the menu, Xu Shengze snatched it away.

"I'll do it. I know what Wan Tang likes."

After ordering the dishes, Xu Shengze suddenly ordered a small bowl of wontons.

"Wantang likes wontons, and luckily we have some here. I'll order you a serving."

Xu Wantang glanced at Xu Shengze, then at Cen Shichuan.

"Who exactly said I like wontons?"

Xu Shengze paused, his hand still holding the menu. "Didn't you used to eat here all the time?"

Xu Wantang retorted, "Is this what I want to eat?"

Xu Shengze then remembered that he knew Xu Chuxue because she always wanted to eat wontons.

But she could never finish eating it all, so she kindly shared it with Xu Wantang.

"First Snow meant well. Isn't it normal for an older sister to think of her younger sister? Besides, aren't you finished too?"

Xu Shengze still subconsciously tried to explain for Xu Chuxue.

Xu Wantang smiled and said, "I won't eat it. Do you agree?"

"Every time she wants to eat wontons, it's the next day when the teacher weighs her. She knows she can't finish them, but she still insists on ordering a large portion. She only eats three at a time, and I don't eat the rest. She's ungrateful and makes her older sister feel embarrassed."

"Every time I eat that, I can't step on the scale the next day and need to train for an extra two hours. What are you guys doing during that time?"

The voice just fell.

Xu Shengze, impatient and stiffening his neck, said, "Wantang, what nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly you who wanted to eat, so your sister shared some with you. You're not happy because you didn't get enough."

As he spoke, he observed Cen Shichuan, clearly afraid that Cen Shichuan would misunderstand Xu Chuxue.

Xu Wantang insisted on speaking.

She looked at Cen Shichuan: "Third Young Master, you don't believe me, do you? Well, after all these years, what word of theirs haven't you believed? But you've bought me wontons before, do you think I look like I like them?"

Cen Shichuan's expression turned cold as he stared intently at Xu Shengze.

Xu Shengze's face was ashen; he couldn't understand why Xu Wantang had suddenly become a different person.

The only explanation I could offer was, "I might be mistaken. Wan Tang, your sister is dead, why are you still bothered by these things?"

One sentence turned Xu Wantang into a petty and calculating person.

Xu Wantang scoffed: "Only those who are good at enduring things don't fuss over trivial matters, right?"

"..."

Xu Shengze remained silent.

Xu Wantang didn't want to continue the topic, so she took the menu and ordered her favorite dishes.

"I've ordered."

While waiting for the food, Xu Shengze glanced at Xu Wantang.

"Wantang, come with me to pick out a bottle of wine."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang got up and followed Xu Shengze to the wine cabinet.

Xu Shengze said with dissatisfaction, "Why did you slander your sister in front of the Third Young Master?"

Xu Wantang slid her finger across the wine bottle: "Slander? Which sentence? Brother, do you think that as long as I'm the only one who can tolerate this, you guys will be fine?"

"I...no, you weren't like this before." Xu Shengze brought up the past again.

"So, was I doing well the way I used to?"

"you……"

"You guys have always been doing well, brother." Xu Wantang listened to the screen for a moment, then said very seriously, "Brother, you suddenly called me over today, is there really nothing wrong?"

Xu Shengze panicked and almost smashed the bottle.

He frowned, as if making a decision: "No, what are you thinking? You just overthink things. If you weren't doing well, would you have grown up like this?"

I still owe them something when I grow up.

Xu Wantang didn't continue speaking, but waited for Xu Shengze's next move.

She's basically made her point clear.

Given Xu Shengze's personality, he definitely wouldn't sit still.

Just as she was thinking this, a waiter bumped into her and spilled juice on her sleeve.

Xu Shengze immediately handed over a tissue: "Go to the restroom to take care of this. I'll take the wine over first."

"Um."

Xu Wantang turned and walked towards the restroom.

After cleaning the juice off her sleeve, she turned around and bumped into a familiar face.

"Miss Xu? You're here for dinner too?"

It is Li Shao.

Xu Wantang recalled his colleague's evaluation of him: when looking for a girlfriend, she had to be someone with a strong destiny.

"Manager Li, what a coincidence, you're here for lunch too?"

"Miss Xu, you must try these wontons, they're especially delicious," Li Shao said to himself.

More wontons?

interesting.
