Before Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci arrived in the capital, Song Fengwan received a call from Duan Linbai. She had no class at the time and was holing up in her dorm room watching a drama.

Song Fengwan frowned. “You’re treating me to a meal?”

“Lwant to invite your cousin and Miss Tang. You’re more familiar with them. If you go, the atmosphere won’t be too awkward.” Duan Linbai just wanted Song Fengwan to accompany them.

“won’t be free until after seven.” It happened to be the weekend today. There was no evening self-study, but everyone had to attend the welcome banquet for the exchange students. She just had to wait for the banquet to start before slipping away secretly.

At first, Song Fengwan was very interested in watching the school’s banquets. But after a long time, she knew that there were only a few programs and that there was nothing much to watch.

“Okay, I’ll get someone to pick you up.” Duan Linbai hung up happily.

“Little Boss, I’ve booked the restaurant and hotel.” His assistant had been doing volunteer work with Duan Linbai recently, so his days were tough.

You’re the boss. I won’t object to you being a f*cking volunteer. But I still have to work every day and be a volunteer with you. He wished he had more limbs.

“Okay, let’s go home!”

After Duan Linbai returned home, he specially took a shower, changed into a set of handsome clothes, and styled his hair to the current most popular hairstyle.

It made his mother ask directly, “Are you going on a date?”

“To discuss business!”

Mother Duan frowned. Why are you dressed so ostentatiously when discussing business? You’re not mature at all. “Shouldn’t you be wearing a suit?”

“They’re all acquaintances. Being too formal makes others feel pressured.” Duan Linbai gave himself another look over. He originally planned to pick them up, but he called them, and the other party drove here. So he directly sent the restaurant’s address.

Duan Linbai arrived early. But when he asked around, people had already entered the private room. When he pushed the door open, Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci had already arrived.

It was just that.

‘Wherever the hotel’s chandelier flashed past, the sharp edges of the knives glistened.

If he didn’t know their faces, Duan Linbai would have thought that he had entered a place he shouldn’t be.

Just like in the movies, before a group of people made a move, they were checking their firearms and equipment. The two of them were holding knives and sizing them up!

Duan Linbai felt a chill run down his spine. F*ck!

“Young Master Duan!” Tang Jingci put down the carving knife and got up to greet him.

“M-Miss Tang.” Duan Linbai forced a smile. “Sorry, I’m late.”

“We came early.”

“Hurry up and sit down. Sit…” Duan Linbai tried his best to move his gaze away from the carving knives, but.

The blade light was glaring!

F*ck, why did they bring knives for a meal?!

Duan Linbai and Qiao Xiyan nodded in greeting.

“The quality of your knife is…” Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci were both the type of people whose knives never left their bodies, so they naturally loved knives.

‘When Qiao Xiyan was at the hotel earlier, he had Tang Jingci seen unpacking and was curious about her carving knives. Because the light in the car was too dim, she had simply taken them out to the restaurant’s private room.

“Yes, it was my birthday present when I turned eighteen.” The two of them were in the same industry, so they always had some common topics.

‘Tang Jingci had been jet-lagged recently. On the way to the capital, she had fallen asleep. Only when they reached their destination did Qiao Xiyan wake her up.

The distance between Suzhou and Beijing was thousands of miles, but the two of them had exchanged less than ten sentences.

Qiao Xiyan handed her the carving knife and took a sip of warm water.

The knife is good, but it’s a pity that her hands are clumsy. This knife in her hand.

is a waste.

‘Tang Jingci didn’t know what he was thinking. She was still happy to hear him praise her.

Duan Linbai listened to the two of them talking about carving knives, and his heart pounded as he kept sending messages to Song Fengwan.

“Little Sister-in-Law, help! Help!”

Song Fengwan was already in the South Campus Auditorium, preparing to watch the welcome banquet. It was too noisy, so she didn’t notice her phone.

Seeing Song Fengwan ignore him, Duan Linbai complained in the group chat.

(F*ck, Third Fu, what kind of brother-in-law do you have? He’s so f*cking scary. He brought knives. My heart is pounding now…]

{I’m scared to death. I’m a good citizen and a proper businessman. I’ve never done anything outrageous or harmful to the world!]

{I thought I entered the wrong room at first. Their actions were so scary! ]

He babbled off for a long time before Fu Chen replied: [You’ve met?]

Duan Linbai seemed to have found a savior. [Third Fu, do you want to come over for dinner?]

Fu Chen smiled. [I’m busy. I’m not free.]

[You can’t leave me to die. What should I do now? The two of them are even making gestures with the knives. These knives aren’t big, but they look very sharp.]

Duan Linbai waited for a long time and only saw Fu Chen send four words over.

[Be patient and persevere.]

I.

I’ll persevere with your sister. Duan Linbai gritted his teeth. [Get lost—]

Beijing University’s South Campus Auditorium.

The banquet started at 7 p.m., but everyone had to be seated and gathered at 6:30 p.m. While Song Fengwan was looking down and fiddling with the light sticks distributed by the organizer, the discussions around her suddenly increased.

Even Hu Xinyue, sitting beside her, became excited.

“Hey, Wanwan, the exchange students are here!”

‘There were more than a hundred exchange students, most of whom were foreigners. Many students were naturally excited when they saw people from other countries. Moreover, they were at the front, and their every move was exceptionally noticeable.

“That blonde beauty has long legs!”

Song Fengwan looked up and saw Jiang Fengya from afar.

Compared to before, she had changed a lot. Be it her appearance or her clothes, she had always favored white in the past. And the style of her clothes was also slightly tacky, just like how she had been mocked for wearing gold and silver at the filiation banquet.

If there was anything good, she wished she could show it to everyone.

All her desires and ambitions were on her surface.

But the current her was completely different. She was wearing a simple designer dress and a light jacket. She held her head high and her chest out, completely unlike her timid past self.

Song Fengwan was too familiar with her and recognized her at first glance. If she didn’t interact much with her in the past, it would have probably been difficult to match her before and after appearance.

What exactly did she experience to make her change so much?

Jiang Fengya’s seat was in the front. From her angle, everyone looked similar, so she naturally couldn’t see where Song Fengwan was. She hurriedly glanced back and retracted her gaze before sitting quietly.

Wanwan, that woman is so beautiful.” Hu Xinyue didn’t know Jiang Fengya and kept pointing at her.

Song Fengwan smiled bitterly. Even though they were in the same school, they had different majors and wouldn’t meet often. As long as she didn’t provoke her, Song Fengwan naturally didn’t want to have any dealings with her.

There was even less need to take the initiative to mention their relationship to others.

After the banquet started, she sneaked out the back using the excuse of going to the restroom. Duan Linbai’s assistant was already waiting not far away. He picked her up and went straight to the restaurant.

“Miss Song, you’re finally here.” The assistant had also waited for a long time.

“What’s wrong? What did he say?” Song Fengwan had just seen the message from Duan Linbai a few minutes ago.

“You’ll know when you get there.”

‘When Song Fengwan arrived at the restaurant, it was fifteen minutes later. She pushed the door open and entered. She clearly saw Duan Linbai’s eyes light up. His expression was as if he had seen some kind of savior.

“Little Sister-in-Law—” Duan Linbai was so touched that he almost cried.

F*ck, this atmosphere is too scary. They finally stopped talking about carving knives. When he discussed the design exhibition with Tang Jingci, Qiao Xiyan kept staring at him.

Especially when he proposed to be the host and invited her to tour the capital.

Qiao Xiyan said faintly, “Go out with you? What if you lose her?”

Duan Linbai replied directly, “I’m not a three-year-old child, nor do I have Alzheimer’s and my memory is bad. How could I lose a living person like Miss Tang?”1

‘Then he could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere.

Duan Linbai was dumbfounded!

He thought about what he had said over and over again, but he couldn’t understand what had gone wrong. What does Qiao Xiyan mean by shooting daggers at me?

Qiao Xiyan’s eyes were deep like the deep sea. He stared at him without blinking, and the carving knife on his fingertips kept turning.

Too scary!

‘Tang Jingci naturally knew the whole story. She originally came to the capital not because she wanted to cooperate with Duan Linbai but because she wanted to examine him.

Now, she felt that Duan Linbai had a straightforward personality. He said one thing and meant it. She suddenly made a decision in her heart.

Just hearing what he said about Alzheimer’s, she wanted to cooperate with him. It was too satisfying. Haha

Song Fengwan sat beside Tang Jingci with a dumbfounded expression. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Little Sister-in-Law, come here. I’ll get them to serve hot food.” Duan Linbai finally saw his savior.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows. “She and Fu Chen aren’t married yet. It’s too early to call her sister-in-law!”

Duan Linbai was stunned. He still didn’t understand how he had offended Qiao Xiyan and why he suddenly targeted him.

After thinking about it, he secretly sent Fu Chen a message to inform him that Song Fengwan had arrived and that he would send her back to school safely. He also asked why Qiao Xiyan was targeting him. After all, they had confronted each other before, so they were more familiar with each other.

Fu Chen didn’t know the reason either.

He was checking Huai Sheng’s weekend homework at home when his phone vibrated. It was a message from Duan Linbai.

[Does he think I’m more handsome than him and is envious of my unparalleled beauty?)

Fu Chen frowned.. Was this guy’s brain damaged from being hit by a door?!
