Chapter 335: Provocation

However, his appearance here didn't mean he wanted to join or deliberately do small actions to sabotage.

He looked at Rong Ci and said in a familiar tone: "Going out to eat with He Zong?"

Rong Ci: "Yes."

"Coming back later, right?"

"Yes."

She still had some things that weren't handled well and had to come back to handle them.

Gu Yan nodded: "Okay, then I'll come find you later."

After saying this, he didn't say much, glanced at He Zhangbai, and turned to leave.

He Zhangbai knew that Gu Yan was actually provoking him.

He was telling him that he had to rack his brains to invite Rong Ci out, while he knew everything about Rong Ci's affairs, had plenty of opportunities to get along with Rong Ci, and didn't bother to do small actions to hinder his and Rong Ci's development.

Facing Gu Yan's provocation, He Zhangbai was neither annoyed nor anxious.

As of now, whether it was toward him or Gu Yan, Rong Ci actually still didn't have those kinds of thoughts.

Therefore, he and Gu Yan were at most fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps.

Actually, if he had a choice, he would rather Rong Ci have those thoughts toward him or Gu Yan, even if this person wasn't him...

He Zhangbai had told Rong Ci about Seeing Dan Dan being picked up by her grandmother a few days ago.

Thinking that there had been no news of Seeing Dan Dan for a while, after arriving at the restaurant, Rong Ci couldn't help but ask: "How is Seeing Dan Dan now?"

Hearing her ask about Seeing Dan Dan, He Zhangbai's heart warmed and he said: "She's doing quite well. When she called back two days ago, she even said she missed you and wanted to come back to play with you."

Rong Ci smiled: "Okay."

Speaking of Seeing Dan Dan, He Zhangbai hesitated for half a second before saying: "I heard that Jingxin's training effect this time is also quite good, and she should be able to win an award in the next competition."

Rong Ci heard him mention Feng Jingxin, lowered her eyes, and gave an "Hmm." Before she could say anything else, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open: "Zhangbai Ge!"

Hearing this voice, He Zhangbai immediately sank his face.

Rong Ci's expression didn't loosen by half.

When Sun Liyao pushed the door open and saw Rong Ci was also there, she widened her eyes, "Why are you here?"

Rong Ci didn't intend to speak.

He Zhangbai looked at Sun Liyao and said coldly: "What are you doing in here?"

Although He Zhangbai's attitude toward her had always been cold, this was indeed the first time He Zhangbai had treated her with such undisguised coldness.

Sun Liyao was so scolded by He Zhangbai that she was a bit confused, "I, I..."

"Yaoyao, you can't be impolite." At this time, the old lady Lin and the old lady Sun walked over.

When they saw Rong Ci was also there, they were also a bit surprised. However, they also knew that He Zhangbai and Chang Mo were still maintaining good cooperation, so seeing He Zhangbai and Rong Ci eating alone, they didn't think much of it.

The old lady Sun smiled: "Sorry, Zhangbai, it's Yaoyao's fault for disturbing your business."

The old lady Sun and the old lady Lin were elders after all, so He Zhangbai gave them face.

He said: "It's fine."

But toward Sun Liyao, this time he didn't show any courtesy: "Miss Sun, I don't think we are familiar. I hope such a thing won't happen a second time in the future. If I say this, can Miss Sun understand?"

Where was He Zhangbai saying that such a thing wouldn't have a next time? He was clearly and explicitly rejecting her.

Sun Liyao really liked He Zhangbai. Seeing him righteously rejecting her, and it was in front of Rong Ci, she immediately fell into tears from grievance and couldn't help but sob: "I, I didn't mean to—"

But He Zhangbai didn't soften his heart.

Since it was out in the open, he simply made it clear once and for all: "If I didn't misunderstand, Miss Sun seems to have intentions toward me, but I can tell you very clearly that it is impossible between you and me, so I hope Miss Sun can have some boundaries in the future." ===== CHAPTER 336 =====
