Chapter 2017: Quietly Giving Him a Hint

Wei Yangyang asked with a smile, "How did you find your way here? Is there something urgent?"

"It's not that urgent."

As Li Xingyan spoke, he handed over a bag: "Tiantian asked me to give this to you."

Wei Yangyang looked down.

Inside were some art books, some snacks, and a ring-shaped object.

Wei Yangyang took out the ring-shaped object and squeezed it.

It was very soft, like a pillow.

"This is..."

"A cervical support. You do design work often, so your cervical spine must get uncomfortable. This can prevent cervical pain."

Li Xingyan's explanation made Wei Yangyang's eyes roll around.

Then she asked with a smile: "Did Tiantian want to give this to me, or did you?"

Li Xingyan looked away and said vaguely: "Whoever you hope gave it to you, that's who gave it."

By saying this, he had actually already given Wei Yangyang the answer.

And the reason he sent the things in Jiang Motian's name was because...

Li Xingyan did not want to make Wei Yangyang feel pressured.

Now, Wei Yangyang had guessed the truth.

Would she feel pressured then?

Li Xingyan looked at Wei Yangyang again.

He saw Wei Yangyang's lips move: "I..."

The moment Wei Yangyang opened her mouth, her phone rang.

Helplessly, Wei Yangyang had to answer the call first.

The call was from Yi Xiang.

As soon as he heard from his manager that a girl named Wei Yangyang had called him, he quickly dialed back.

Recently, people had been calling Yi Xiang often.

Yi Xiang was annoyed by it.

He usually didn't even touch his phone anymore.

The manager had assumed that the person calling this time was also just another unremarkable woman coming to harass Yi Xiang.

Who knew...

The manager had miscalculated.

Wei Yangyang did not know the reason for this, and after speaking with Yi Xiang on the phone, she gave a rough account of the situation at the villa.

Yi

Xiang felt very guilty.

He said: "I'm sorry, that woman is like a lunatic; she pesters me all the time. I didn't expect her to go and cause trouble for you."

"She wasn't really causing trouble for me; I just felt she was a bit inexplicable, and she even started pointing fingers at my design."

Wei Yangyang's calm words made Yi Xiang increasingly restless.

He gripped his phone tightly and made a promise: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this properly and give you an explanation!"

"Why give me an explanation? This is your romantic debt."

After Wei Yangyang finished saying this, it went quiet on the other end of the line.

This silence made Wei Yangyang feel a bit confused.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and since Yi Xiang wasn't speaking, Wei Yangyang wanted to hang up.

But Yi Xiang suddenly spoke again: "I, I miss you a little."

"Huh?"

"When I'm tired from work, I think, if only you could be by my side, if only I could see you for a moment."

"Um... the signal isn't very good, I didn't hear that clearly."

"I know you heard it clearly. Sigh, I was too abrupt."

Yi Xiang hung up the phone.

On his end of the line, his face was slightly flushed.

And on the other side, Wei Yangyang snuck a glance to the side.

She saw Li Xingyan's jaw was tight, his face expressionless.

Sensing Wei Yangyang looking at him, Li Xingyan turned his head to look back.

Then he said: "Actually, the signal is quite good; I heard everything."

Just because you heard it, did you have to say it out loud?

How embarrassing!

Wei Yangyang complained a little about Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan kept a somber expression and asked a question: "Yi Xiang has good conditions; why didn't you agree?"

"He's too young. I don't like people younger than me."

"Then you like people older than you?"

"... Someone the same age is fine."

Li Xingyan looked at Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang lowered her head slightly and didn't say anything else.

However... Li Xingyan always felt that she was hinting at something.

But Li Xingyan dared not think too much about it.

Wei Yangyang did not continue speaking either; she lifted her feet and walked toward the parking spot.

She did not even dare to look back to see what expression Li Xingyan had.

And this behavior of hers was a bit unethical.

It was very much like plucking up the courage to set a fire and then ignoring the consequences...

In the restaurant, Wei Yangyang had come to meet a client as agreed.

As soon as she walked into the restaurant, she saw a refined man waving at her.

Wei Yangyang smiled at the other party and walked over quickly.

The man very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Wei Yangyang and said, "Miss Wei is very punctual; you arrived just in time."

"But since I invited you to dinner, I should have arrived earlier."

"Hey, when dining with a beautiful woman, how could one let her wait?"

The man's smile was warm, and he even took the initiative to order food for Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang exchanged a few pleasantries with him and then wanted to discuss the main topic.

However, the man placed the document Wei Yangyang had handed over to the side.

Wei Yangyang did not quite understand, so she asked, "This is..."

"This is the second time I am meeting Miss Wei. Before discussing the cooperation, I hope to get to know Miss Wei a little better."

This...

Since it was a cooperation, getting to know one's collaborator was not unreasonable.

Thinking this, Wei Yangyang put a smile back on her face and asked, "I wonder, what would you like to know?"

"Hmm... just Miss Wei's hobbies, favorite foods, favorite movies, and so on."

These things already belonged to the private sphere and exceeded the scope of work.

Wei Yangyang did not want to talk about them.

But she did not explicitly refuse either; instead, with a few words,

she steered the topic back to work.

Wei Yangyang wanted to introduce her own work experience and work style.

But the man interrupted Wei Yangyang: "Miss Wei, you haven't answered my previous question yet."

Wei Yangyang restrained her smile a little, pursed her lips, and then said, "I don't quite understand; do those questions have anything to do with our work today?"

"Of course they do. Only by knowing you well enough can I determine if our cooperation will be a good fit."

"But since it is work, it would be more appropriate to talk about me in a professional state."

"Work is one part of you, and your personal life is another part; I want to know both."

The man's attitude while speaking was somewhat ambiguous.

This made Wei Yangyang feel very uncomfortable.

Facing such a person, Wei Yangyang lacked experience, so she could only say, "Everyone is very busy; let's handle the real business first."

"Getting to know a charming young lady like you is also real business."

As the man said this, he actually reached out to touch Wei Yangyang's hand!

This disgusted Wei Yangyang.

She immediately dodged the other party's wandering hand and prepared to stand up and leave.

But someone raised a hand and pressed down on Wei Yangyang's shoulder.

Wei Yangyang immediately looked up.

She saw the face of Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan did not look at Wei Yangyang, but instead looked at the man opposite her with a smile, saying with a forced grin: "Isn't this President Li? What's this, asking a girl out to dinner again!"

This President Li seemed very afraid of Su Kexuan.

He did not even meet Su Kexuan's eyes and said with a stiff expression, "Miss Su really likes to joke; how could I be asking girls out to dinner all the time?"

"No? Just the ones I've run into, there have been three or four

times already, and there was even one time when you asked me!"
