The man roared.
Heaven knew what he was thinking when he saw Wen Yan dining with An Xileng.
He wished he could beat the two of them to death.
What was even more hateful was that looking at Wen Yan's expression now, he actually had a trace of softening.
"I can explain. An Xileng asked me to be his translator, and he paid very well."
"And so you ended up in bed?"
The man's indifferent words struck Wen Yan's heart like a hammer. Her eyes were hollow, and she couldn't believe these words were coming from Leng Xunze's mouth.
Leng Xunze: "Am I being unreasonable? You ate together. Don't tell me you were going to translate for An Xileng first thing in the morning, and that you didn't go to your best friend's house last night, but were with An Xileng instead?"
This was also what Wen Ya had told him today.
Wen Ya only found out later that the person who sang so beautifully was Wen Yan, and that Wen Yan had acted as An Xileng's translator at night.
At that moment, she guessed that William would not cooperate with her.
"I, I..." Wen Yan suddenly found herself unable to explain.
Leng Xunze's eyes were full of disappointment: "Can't speak anymore? Wen Yan, you are the most pretentious woman I have ever met. You look pure and lovely on the outside, but you are incredibly promiscuous on the inside!"
He spoke incredibly sharp words, which hurt Wen Yan while also reminding himself.
Wen Yan's eyes turned red: "Leng Xunze, don't go too far. I've never done anything to betray you! Yes, I did translate, and I just wanted to earn more money. Nothing happened between Mr. An and me."
"Do you think I'd believe that?"
"You're too impulsive right now. Please calm down." Wen Yan hugged him, and her tears instantly wet his chest.
Leng Xunze's body stiffened slightly.
If it were before, he would have pushed her away and ignored her long ago.
But now, he was damnably soft-hearted.
The words he had intended to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter them. Leng Xunze hardened his heart, pushed her away, and walked out.
After he left, the entire room became icy cold.
Wen Yan hugged herself, feeling cold all over.
And so, a night passed.
Wen Yan came to work the next day with panda eyes.
Her colleagues couldn't help but express their concern, thinking she was too busy lately. Wen Yan felt guilty, but it was because of the man...
However, immersed in her work, Wen Yan quickly pushed those matters aside for the time being.
She was busy until evening. When everyone else had left the office, Wen Yan finally finished designing the work according to the client's requirements and sent it over. She then picked up her phone and saw that Leng Xunze still hadn't replied to her message. Her heart suddenly felt empty, and she dejectedly got up and left the company.
Unexpectedly, there were still people in the company so late.
Seeing a distinguished and aloof man emerge from the private elevator, Wen Yan was surprised.
She wanted to greet him, but remembering his reaction last time, she decided against it and walked away.
Who would have thought...
"Are the employees of Xinghua Design Department so rude?" the man's cold voice came.
Wen Yan immediately stopped.
She couldn't help but complain inwardly, speechless.
"Big brother, you seemed so indifferent last time, and now you insist on people greeting you."
"Mr. Ye, hello." Wen Yan forced a smile, "Mr. Ye, you're working so late?"
The man walked up to her, looking down at her with a hint of disdain and mockery: "You're leaving work with me. What, are you trying to show off how hard you work overtime?"
Wen Yan: "?"
Mr. Ye: "The company does not encourage overtime, because only incompetent people work overtime."
Wen Yan: "???"
Was he implying something about her?
Was this man on explosives today? Why was he so irritable?
"Mr. Ye is right. I will pay attention in the future." Wen Yan agreed, mainly because she was too lazy to argue with her superior.
Mr. Ye: "If paying attention could solve problems, there wouldn't be so many useless people."
Was he scolding her?
Wen Yan was confused.
Even if he was her boss, this was unacceptable.
"Mr. Ye, regardless of one's class or ability, everyone's work has different lengths. I admit that my abilities are insufficient and I want to work more. Is that wrong? Does Mr. Ye mean that I am not capable enough and cannot work overtime?" Wen Yan reasoned logically and analyzed the situation, looking at Mr. Ye.
She wanted to see how the man would respond.
The man merely sneered: "If your eloquence were put to work, you wouldn't be in this situation."
Wen Yan: "..."
She was so angry!
Wen Yan chose to ignore him, walked out of the building, and walked alone into the night.
Today, Leng Xunze did not come back.
However, Wen Yan still sent Leng Xunze a message, sharing her daily life.
Before going to bed, Bai Quan chatted with her for a while, complaining about her family.
"Yan Bao, how are you and your husband of a flash marriage doing lately?"
Wen Yan's lips curved bitterly, but she didn't want her friend to worry: "It's okay, just like that."
"It's also quite happy to be ordinary. I'll have time tomorrow, let's go out and have fun together."
"Okay." Wen Yan immediately perked up.
They hadn't seen each other in so long. Because she was always busy with her family, Wen Yan didn't feel comfortable asking her to hang out.
The call ended, and she slept alone. The night was long and cold.
The next day, upon arriving at the company, Wen Yan was immediately summoned. With a professional smile, she walked into the reception hall, only to see a familiar person.
"It's really you!"
The other person, wearing sunglasses and a long dress, smiled as she saw Wen Yan.
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see. I didn't expect that after a few years, you've become a big internet celebrity. Back in class, you had no presence at all," the woman said with a smile.
"You're doing quite well now too, you've become a big star," Wen Yan replied.
The person who arrived was actually her high school classmate, Sun Liyan. She was beautiful back then but academically poor. She didn't expect to enter the entertainment industry after growing up and become a minor celebrity.
"I wouldn't say a big star," Sun Liyan waved her hand. "Someone like your sister is considered a big star!"
She was referring to Wen Ya.
Wen Yan's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say much.
Sun Liyan didn't expect Wen Yan to say nothing. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful, upturned eyes, and looked at Wen Yan curiously: "Aren't you curious why I mentioned your sister?"
"You're all in the same circle, so it's normal to know each other."
"That's true, but it's not easy for someone at my level to know her. We met by chance at a party. She knew I was your classmate and took good care of me. I have to say, your sister is indeed very good," Sun Liyan sighed.
Wen Yan remained silent.
Seeing that Wen Yan didn't respond, Sun Liyan felt bored talking to herself and quickly got to the point.
She wanted a dress for the red carpet, not too flashy, but it had to be eye-catching.
This requirement was quite contradictory, but Wen Yan accepted it and prepared to think carefully.
She worked until closing time and immediately packed up to meet Bai Quan.
