Cheng Ji looked at Jiang Han first, then at Xu Yan, “You can’t eat spicy food?”
Without even looking up, Xu Yan said, “I’ve been feeling a bit irritated these past two days, so I want to eat something light.”
Jiang Han was in a good mood. She really took care of his taste, so she said kindly, “Ask the waiter to give you some extra chili sauce. You can dip it in it if you want.”
Xu Yan didn’t respond, so Cheng Ji called the waiter to take our order, noting that no chili was needed.
After taking the order and the waiter left, Jiang Han sat right opposite Xu Yan, drinking tea and looking at her.
Noticing his gaze, Xu Yan returned the phone to Cheng Ji, “Send me all the videos later.”
Cheng Ji put away his phone and said with a smile, “Why rush? I won’t delete the video anyway.”
Seeing how familiar they were talking to each other, Jiang Han felt uncomfortable. He stared into Xu Yan’s eyes and asked, “Do you cherish those two little cats so much?”
Xu Yan smiled at him, “They are worth it. Although they are animals, they are kind-hearted and will not hurt people who are kind to them. In this respect, they are better than humans.”
This statement also has a hidden meaning.
Jiang Han laughed at himself, “I admit that humans can’t compare to this.”
Cheng Ji knew the past of the two. If he let them mock him like this, he might not be able to eat. He said, “Cats are really cute. I have kept them at my place for the past few days. When I came home and saw them shouting and calling in the house, my heart almost melted.”
Xu Yan said, “ Wulv ‘s tortoise shell color is a stunning beauty in the cat world, and he has a gentle personality.”
“ Wuyou has a good personality. When he sees me coming home, he always rubs against me. It is said that calico cat is also a great beauty in the cat world.” Cheng Ji said.
“The calico cat is also beautiful in human eyes.”
Jiang Han couldn’t get a word in when they were talking about cats. To highlight his presence, he said, “The video of Hengshan City was posted online. Maybe it will ferment and amplify.”
Xu Yan and the other looked at him, and Cheng Ji said with some concern, “Will Xu Yan be cyberbullied?”
Jiang Han said, “I will use my connections to suppress it.”
Cheng Ji reminded Xu Yan, “This time, Hengshan City’s incident was all thanks to Mr. Jiang. You have to thank him.”
Xu Yan nodded, “Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I’ll have to toast you a few glasses later.”
Jiang Han raised the teacup and gestured to her, “You’re welcome. You can drink tea instead of wine.”
This kind of words sounded a bit ambiguous to others. Cheng Ji looked at Xu Yan with a vacant expression, and she smiled at Jiang Han, “Mr. Jiang, when you haven’t seen someone for three days, you should look at him with new eyes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter started to bring in the dishes. Xu Yan ordered, “Bring me another bottle of wine, the best and most expensive kind.”
Cheng Ji was shocked, “Really?”
“Since we want to thank Mr. Jiang, we have to show our sincerity, right?” she said, winking at him.
Jiang Han guessed her intention, “Do you want to get me drunk so I can’t see Wu Hongchang tomorrow ? Then I have to be careful.”
Xu Yan said slyly, “Then Mr. Jiang is not grateful?”
“I appreciate the kindness, but you can’t drink too much,” said Jiang Han.
When the wine came, the dishes were almost served. Xu Yan filled the glass with wine, raised it up and said respectfully to Jiang Han, “Thank you Mr. Jiang for helping me. I toast to you!”
Although she said it seriously, Jiang Han wanted to know if she was acting or if she really wanted to thank him. But now she was too cunning and had too many tricks, so he couldn’t tell.
Xu Yan drank three cups in a row without stopping. After drinking, her face was covered with a layer of red. Jiang Han sat opposite her and thought she looked very bright and beautiful.
He had never realized how pretty she was before.
Before he could immerse himself in memories, Cheng Ji picked up the cup and drank with him. He said a few polite words and poured him three cups.
Jiang Han was a little drunk after drinking several glasses of wine before he had even taken a bite of the food. He leaned back in his chair, looking at Xu Yan with a dazed look in his eyes. The more he looked at her, the more he found her adorable and charming.
He threw his father’s words out of his mind and tried to recall every detail of their time together. But he didn’t really pay attention at the time , and could only remember a few things.
After the meal, all three of them drank a lot of wine, but they were still sober.
It was only seven o’clock when we finished our meal. It was still early. When we returned to the hotel, we just watched TV or used our mobile phones in the room, wasting time.
Cheng Ji suggested going shopping, as he thought girls would be keen on this. Xu Yan shook his head, “I can’t walk steadily after drinking, so I don’t want to go.”
Jiang Han said, “ Mingchuan City Hotel has a sports club where you can play ball or have a cup of tea.”
“I have no objection.” Xu Yan picked up the bag with one hand and threw it over his shoulder.
Cheng Ji looked at Jiang Han, “How about we play billiard? I heard you’re pretty good at it.”
Jiang Han readily agreed, “I heard that you are also good at playing basketball, let’s have a competition.”
Back at Mingchuan City Hotel, the three of them went straight to the club, where there were two tables, one occupied and the other empty.
The two men hurried to take up space, and Xu Yan sat down on a bench nearby. She took out her phone and planned to edit the video.
After they warmed up for a while, they began the actual duel. Jiang Han took off his coat and put it on the empty seat next to Xu Yan.
She looked up at this time and saw that he was only wearing a shirt, and his well-developed chest muscles were visible under the thin fabric. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Xu Yan actually thought of how he used to come out of the shower wrapped in a bath towel.
It’s so embarrassing!
She lowered her head quickly, her ears burning. Jiang Han reminded her, “Don’t keep looking down at your phone. It’s bad for your neck.”
“I know.” She replied in a muffled voice.
Later, Xu Yan couldn’t concentrate on editing the video because she had to search for Jiang Han from time to time. It was like she was under a spell.
Cheng Ji thought she wanted to play too, so he asked her across the table, “Xu Yan, do you want to play a game too?”
She shook her head. “I can’t.”
Jiang Han said, “If you really want to play, I can teach you.”
A female guest at the next table was being taught by her boyfriend, and the two were very close to each other. Xu Yan shuddered and shook his head hurriedly, “No, I don’t want to play.”
They didn’t force it, and the two of them continued to play. Xu Yan’s eyelids were drooping from the alcohol, and she even saw double in the video. She regretted drinking too much at the table.
The phone fell to the ground with a thud. Jiang Han and Cheng Ji looked over at the same time. She said embarrassedly, “Sorry, I was a little sleepy. You guys play, I’ll go back to my room to rest.”
Jiang Han put down his golf club and came over to help her pick up the phone. Xu Yan thanked him and stood up.
But she couldn’t stand steadily, and she fell down again as soon as she stood up. Jiang Han grabbed her arm, and said with concern and some reproach in his eyes, “You can drink a lot, right?”
Cheng Ji also came over and asked, “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Xu Yan explained sheepishly, “I’m fine, I just feel a little drunk.”
Jiang Han picked her up and said, “I’ll take you back to your room.”
Cheng Ji was dumbfounded.
Xu Yan struggled, “You don’t have to carry me, just put me down.”
Jiang Han ignored her protests, held her tightly in his arms, and said to Cheng Ji, “Help me take my coat up.”
After they came out of the club, they took the elevator. People in the elevator cast inquiring glances at them. Xu Yan couldn’t get away, so he had to cover his eyes with one hand. Anyway, as long as she couldn’t see, he wouldn’t be the one embarrassed.
Jiang Han carried her into the room and put her on the bed.
Xu Yan’s face was as red as a boiled shrimp. She buried her head in the quilt and said to Jiang Han, “Thank you for sending me back. I’m going to sleep now.”
“It will be more comfortable to take a shower before going to bed,” he said.
Xu Yan suddenly lifted the quilt and said in a bad tone, “Don’t bother with me, just leave now.”
Jiang Han was amused by her childish behavior. He said in a gentle voice, “Okay, whatever you want. Call me if you have anything tonight.”
Xu Yan muttered in his heart, I won’t call you.
Not long after, Cheng Ji sent her a message on WeChat, “I think something is wrong with you and Jiang Han today.”
[Am I too good at acting?] Xu Yan replied. Of course, she couldn’t tell him about her confused moments, not only Cheng Ji, but anyone else.
[Is it really acting? If so, I recommend you to enter the entertainment industry.] Cheng Ji sent another message.
“I know him better than you do. If he’s happy tonight, he’ll relax his guard tomorrow, and we can still make time difference.” She said nonsense seriously.
Cheng Ji put down his phone and stood in front of the window looking at the lights outside. He felt a sense of crisis, and his man’s instinct made him realize that Jiang Han still had some feelings for Xu Yan, and it was not as simple as he thought.
Perhaps he should go ahead.
Jiang Han sat on a chair in the room, recalling the feeling of Xu Yan in his arms just now, which was warm and soft. She buried her face in his chest, and her breath was like magma bursting out from the ground, burning his body.
He rushed into the room to take a cold shower.
That night, the three of them each had their own thoughts and fell asleep very late.
The next day, after the alcohol wore off, Jiang Han realized that he still had to meet the dealer. When he passed by Xu Yan’s room, he gave up the idea of inviting her to have breakfast with him.
The first thing to do is to get the dealer. If you can’t have breakfast, you can go back to Canghai City and have lunch or dinner with her.
He arrived at the company earlier than Wu Hongchang ‘s employees. After waiting for about half an hour, Wu Hongchang finally arrived and apologized immediately when he saw him, “Mr. Jiang, you came to Mingchuan City in person? Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.”
Jiang Han shook hands with him and said, “Mr. Wu, you don’t have to be so polite. I came here uninvited. I’m sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me.”
“It’s my honor to have you here. It’s not a bother.” Wu Hongchang quickly took him to the office and asked his assistant to boil water and make tea.
After the small talk, Jiang Han got to the point. “I came here this time to talk to you about the offline supermarket sales of Xinlan Group’s products. We will give dealers a lot of profit.”
Wu Hongchang said awkwardly, “Mr. Jiang, to be honest, Xinlan Group’s brand is already quite mature. The e-commerce festival just ended and consumption is saturated, so it’s hard to have new growth points.”
Jiang Han asked him, “So what do you think? The e-commerce festival is over, but we still have to continue selling goods.”
“I want to promote Meisi Group’s products,” said Wu Hongchang .
“What? You want to buy Meisi Group’s products?” Jiang Han’s alarm bells rang loudly. He couldn’t believe it . “ Have you met with people from Meisi Group?”
