A night of indulgence.
The next morning, Chen Dongyang had to go to the company for work. He told Tiantian to sleep in.
"You must have been exhausted yesterday. Don't go to the company today. Sleep a bit longer, and I'll bring you lunch."
It felt as if everything had returned to the time when Tiantian had her foot injury. She truly cherished this state of being with him.
Tiantian lazily agreed. As soon as Chen Dongyang left, he started a live stream with her, showing his workday from the moment he stepped out.
As noon approached, Tiantian woke up.
Checking the time, she thought about how hard he worked and didn't want him to rush back and forth to bring her food. She decided to take the initiative.
"How about I bring you lunch? I haven't been to your company yet. I'd like to see how you work."
They ended the call, and Tiantian called Lu Huaijin, saying she was going to his studio.
Lu Huaijin was thrilled.
Two days ago, he had said he would find her at the place they were supposed to travel to, but Tiantian refused and came back on her own.
He thought Tiantian was giving him no chance, but unexpectedly, she wanted to visit his studio.
Lu Huaijin dressed up and waited downstairs. Tiantian, dressed casually, arrived and asked him to show her around the studio.
Lu Huaijin thought she was genuinely interested in his studio and took her through each section, introducing them.
When they reached Chen Dongyang's project team, their eyes met. Tiantian pretended not to know him.
She greeted everyone in the project team, deliberately not speaking to Chen Dongyang.
After the tour, they went to Lu Huaijin's studio. Chen Dongyang immediately sent her a WeChat message.
"Didn't you say you'd bring me lunch? Jiang Jing Tian, what do you mean?"
Tiantian deliberately ignored him, wanting to see his reaction.
He was angry. Haha, just as she wanted.
"It doesn't mean anything. It's not quitting time yet. I'm just looking around. I can't disturb your work."
Chen Dongyang sensed a hint of sarcasm in her words and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Are you deliberately here to annoy me?"
"I don't care. I'm angry. Figure out how to make me happy yourself."
Tiantian chuckled at her phone and then asked Lu Huaijin about the game "JC Escape."
Lu Huaijin thought she was genuinely interested in the game and explained it enthusiastically.
After listening for a few sentences, Tiantian lost interest.
"What you're saying doesn't make any sense. It's not professional at all. Let a professional explain it to me."
"The project team you just visited is exactly that. The chief engineer is Chen Dongyang. If you're really interested, I can call him over."
Lu Huaijin called Chen Dongyang over with a phone call.
"This is him, Miss Jiang. A rising star in the industry, a newly crowned master. Feel free to ask him any professional questions. I guarantee he'll tell you everything."
Tiantian and Chen Dongyang sat opposite each other. With a smile, she looked him up and down and said, seemingly casually but deliberately provoking him.
"Engineer Chen looks so young. I didn't expect you to develop such a good game at such a young age. It's truly admirable. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Chen Dongyang stared at her meaningfully. "No."
Tiantian: "I have many beautiful single friends. I wonder how old you are this year, Engineer Chen. Would you be interested if I introduced you to one?"
Chen Dongyang knew she was teasing him and played along. "Sure. I'm 30 this year. I'll trouble you, Miss Jiang."
Tiantian picked up her phone. "Then let's add each other on WeChat. I'll notify you if there's good news."
Lu Huaijin watched from the side, sensing something was off. He quickly intervened.
"We were talking about the game, and now you're talking about introducing girlfriends? Tiantian, you've never been this enthusiastic about me."
Tiantian said, "You know everyone I know, so why would I need to introduce them? You wouldn't be that stingy, would you? Are you jealous that I'm introducing a girlfriend to your colleague?"
Lu Huaijin explained, "How could I be jealous? I just think there's no need for you two to add each other. You won't have many reasons to contact each other in the future. If you really want to help him find someone, let's arrange a gathering, and I'll go too. It'll help liven up the atmosphere."
She didn't need to add him in the first place, but seeing Lu Huaijin's obstruction, Tiantian lost interest.
"Forget it. President Lu doesn't trust your character. Since you're not letting us add each other, then we won't. How about this, if I find someone suitable, I'll tell President Lu, and he can recommend them to you."
Chen Dongyang gritted his teeth, thinking, "Just you be mischievous. I'll deal with you when we get home tonight."
After sitting for a while, Tiantian got hungry and asked Lu Huaijin to treat her to a meal. Lu Huaijin suggested several restaurants.
Chen Dongyang lingered, "I'm hungry too. President Lu, you don't mind adding an extra pair of chopsticks, do you?"
Since he had said that, Lu Huaijin couldn't be stingy and could only go out together as a trio.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Tiantian meaningfully said she needed to go to the restroom.
Less than a minute after she left, Chen Dongyang followed.
Tiantian walked slowly towards the end of the corridor, waiting for him to catch up. Chen Dongyang quickly followed, embraced her waist, and pushed her into the men's restroom.
He locked the door and pushed her against the washbasin.
"Jiang Jing Tian, I've discovered you're getting naughtier."
Tiantian giggled, grabbing his shirt collar.
"Just tell me if you like it or not."
Chen Dongyang went to nibble her ear. "I like it."
They lingered inside for a while before coming out.
When they entered the private room, the dishes had already been served. Lu Huaijin said,
"Why did you take so long to come back? What were you doing?"
Tiantian feigned, saying she was reapplying her makeup, and then asked Chen Dongyang.
"Engineer Chen also went to the restroom? What were you doing?"
Chen Dongyang glanced at her and said calmly.
"What else can you do in the restroom? Use the toilet, of course."
"You took so long. Could it be constipation? Does Engineer Chen have a bad stomach? Come, come, drink more water to help."
Saying that, she poured him a cup of Longjing tea.
Chen Dongyang picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying meaningfully.
"No wonder everyone loves drinking green tea. This stuff is indeed good."
The meal concluded with their veiled banter. Chen Dongyang wanted to return to work, and Lu Huaijin asked Tiantian where she was going.
Tiantian said she had nowhere to go. "I'm very bored. How about I go back to your company? I want to see firsthand how Engineer Chen develops games. I promise not to leak any secrets."
With the game's great success, Lu Huaijin had been preparing for a celebration banquet a few days ago, but his plan to find Tiantian had caused a slight delay.
Now that Tiantian was back and didn't need to travel, the celebration banquet could be arranged.
"Of course, you can. I don't distrust you. Stay for the afternoon, and tonight I'm arranging a celebration banquet for the company. You should come too."
"That would be great. I've never attended a celebration banquet before."
The three of them returned to the studio together.
Tiantian followed Chen Dongyang directly to his workstation. As Chen Dongyang worked, she rested her chin on her hand and watched.
Lu Huaijin personally went to arrange the evening celebration banquet, leaving the two of them alone.
Tiantian sat obediently at first, looking at Chen Dongyang's focused profile as he worked.
As she watched, she found him so handsome that she couldn't help but have mischievous thoughts.
Her hand slipped under the table, gently drawing circles on his waist.
