The next day!
It was the weekend, so Ye Cangtian didn't have to be on duty and didn't need to go to the company.
While having breakfast, he saw Tang Xinwan come downstairs in her pajamas. Just as Ye Cangtian was about to greet her, he heard her snort through her nose, completely ignoring him.
It seemed the misunderstanding from last night was quite deep! This girl hadn't given him a good look since she woke up.
An hour later, Tang Xinwan changed into a fashionable outfit, slung her bag over her shoulder, and prepared to go out.
After taking a couple of steps, she turned back, looked at Ye Cangtian, and said plainly, "Are you free today?"
Ye Cangtian was stunned, then heard Tang Xinwan continue, "I need to go to the mall to buy some things later. If you have nothing else to do, help me carry the bags!"
"No problem!" Ye Cangtian nodded. He had nothing else to do, and it wouldn't be bad to go out for a stroll.
Half an hour later!
The two arrived at the central business district, which was also the most prosperous area in Yangzhou, a paradise for shopping and consumers.
Tang Xinwan rarely had time to shop; she was mostly busy with work. However, the company had been stable recently, and with Grandpa Tang's recovery from his serious illness, her mood was not as heavy as before, which gave her the leisure to go shopping.
Today, she was wearing a white stylish suit, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail, giving her more of an urban fashionista vibe.
Her tall stature and curvaceous figure were very eye-catching, making her a prominent presence wherever she went. Walking with her, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but attract envious glances from others.
It is said that women love to shop! Even a strong woman like Tang Xinwan was no exception. Before long, Ye Cangtian behind her was laden with several fashion bags. If it weren't for his strength, he would have found it difficult to carry them.
In a fashion store in the mall, Tang Xinwan went to the fitting room to try on clothes. Ye Cangtian placed the fashion bags aside and took a moment to rest.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked into the fashion store. The man saw Ye Cangtian at a glance and his expression turned gloomy. "Ye Cangtian!"
Hearing someone call him, Ye Cangtian looked up and couldn't help but smile, "Isn't this Director Zhang?"
Ye Cangtian had a deep impression of this guy because his relationship with Xiao Yurou had made Director Zhang resentful, and he had even spoken ill of him to Xiao Yurou many times.
However, he looked at this pursuer of Xiao Yurou, who was accompanied by another girl, and he immediately shook his head with a smile, "Director Zhang has found a girlfriend so soon? It seems there's a reason why Miss Xiao doesn't like you!"
"What did you say!" Director Zhang asked through gritted teeth. He was indeed pursuing Xiao Yurou, but given his status, there were many girls who liked him, so he naturally wouldn't hang himself on one tree.
He looked at Ye Cangtian deeply, then sneered, "You'd better stay away from Yurou. Also, please move aside, I'm taking my girlfriend to buy clothes!"
This guy was really shameless! He was having his cake and eating it too, coveting what was in the pot!
Ye Cangtian was a bit dumbfounded. He thought his own thick skin was enough, but compared to this guy, he was practically an honest person.
Director Zhang took two steps with the girl, then turned back and said dismissively, "As a porter, you should have some self-awareness. This is not a place you can afford to patronize, and you're not worthy of Yurou."
Clearly, he had seen Ye Cangtian working as a porter last time, so he thought the guy was just a pauper.
Just then, Tang Xinwan came out of the fitting room. A sales assistant smiled at Ye Cangtian and said, "Sir, your girlfriend is out. This dress looks really good on her!"
Director Zhang, who had just taken a few steps, couldn't help but turn back and then his gaze froze.
Tang Xinwan was wearing a violet dress, looking noble and elegant. Both her beauty and temperament were definitely goddess-level. Let alone Director Zhang being stunned, even the girl beside him exclaimed enviously, "So beautiful!"
Director Zhang snapped back to reality and looked at Ye Cangtian with confusion. Was this beautiful woman his girlfriend?
He admitted he was jealous! This poor kid not only got close to Xiao Yurou, but he also had an even more beautiful girlfriend!
"Let's go to another store!" At this moment, he felt rather embarrassed. He had been outshined by a porter! Sudannovel.com
...
As it was approaching noon, Tang Xinwan finally ended her shopping spree, still not fully satisfied.
Of course, some people were tired, with their hands full of bags.
Ye Cangtian was impressed. Women really shopped fiercely; it was as if they wanted to move the entire mall back home!
As they reached the parking lot and were about to put their purchases in the trunk, they saw a burly man standing next to Tang Xinwan's Maserati.
"Liu Zhendong?" Ye Cangtian exclaimed. Although it was just his back, the gauze wrapped around his hand was quite noticeable.
The burly man turned around, and it was indeed Liu Zhendong. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Ye, um, our elder sister has set a banquet at Yanlai Tower and invites Mr. Ye and Miss Tang to grace us with your presence!"
Ye Cangtian smiled, "Liu Rumei, right? I already said, what happened last time is in the past. Let's skip the meal!"
Liu Zhendong said with a wry smile, "Elder Sister just wants to make friends with Mr. Ye, and hopes Mr. Ye won't refuse."
Ye Cangtian hesitated. That Black Widow was indeed beautiful, with excellent figure and temperament. It wouldn't hurt to get to know her. But honestly, he didn't want to get involved with people from the underworld.
He was hesitating when Tang Xinwan, standing beside him, spoke, "Go ahead! Please tell Ms. Liu that we'll be there shortly!"
"Then Sister and I will await your arrival at Yanlai Tower!" Liu Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands with joy.
After he left, Ye Cangtian looked at Tang Xinwan in confusion.
Tang Xinwan said indifferently, "Don't look at me like that. Although Liu Rumei is a figure from the underworld, known as the Black Widow, she also has a high reputation in the business world, and the Fu family has many industries. Even if we can't cooperate, we shouldn't offend her!"
After all, Liu Rumei's status and position were higher than theirs. If she invited you to a meal and you refused, it would be quite disrespectful.
"It seems my wife sees things clearly. As expected of a business genius!" Ye Cangtian smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.
"Don't flatter me. I haven't settled the score with you for last night yet! Also, why specifically would Liu Rumei invite you to dinner? I suspect she was targeting you at Grandpa's birthday banquet that day," Tang Xinwan snorted, somewhat suspiciously.
After all, the Tang family was not considered a major family in Yangzhou, and they had no dealings with the Fu family or Liu Rumei.
But Liu Rumei had personally attended the birthday banquet that day!
