Chapter 134

Tang Bingyan pulled her hand back as if electrocuted. The anger in the corners of her eyes and brows had not yet dissipated, but because of Xu Tian's deliberate teasing just now, it had added a few more blushes.

"You continue eating, I'm going to a meeting."

After speaking, she walked out of the office without looking back.

Xu Tian looked at Tang Bingyan's back and smiled helplessly.

Although Tang Bingyan usually presented herself as a cold female CEO, after taking off her defenses when getting along with her in private, she was more like a little girl who was dull about love.

It seems that if he wanted to take their relationship a step further, he would have to work harder.

After Tang Bingyan left, Xu Tian packed up the lunch box, leaned on the sofa, and picked up a magazine to kill time.

Three o'clock in the morning.

After Tang Bingyan returned to the office, she found that Xu Tian had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa.

"Bring a blanket over." Tang Bingyan couldn't bear to wake him up.

A Wei, who brought the blanket back, also lightened his steps.

Tang Bingyan personally wrapped Xu Tian, who was lying on the sofa, tightly with the blanket, and was only satisfied after revealing half of his face.

"Tang Zong, about AM..."

As soon as A Wei spoke, Tang Bingyan interrupted him softly.

"Let's go to the guest room next door."

The two came to the guest room next door, and A Wei began to report the project progress.

"Then Tang Zong, if there is no problem with this document, I will sign and issue it to the senior management of other departments."

"Hmm."

Seeing A Wei holding the document about to walk out of the guest room, Tang Bingyan said coldly again: "Wait."

"Tang Zong."

A Wei stopped, turned around, and saw his eldest young lady, who had always presented herself as a cold queen, rubbing her brows as if she were a bit tired: "Do you have any other instructions?"

"You go contact Lin Wanshan and let him wish Yan Ruhai a happy birthday in Xu Tian's name."

Upon hearing this, A Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked in disbelief: "Does Mr. Xu know about it?"

Tang Bingyan shook her head: "He doesn't know."

"Then why..."

Tang Bingyan didn't speak, just raised her eyes to look at A Wei expressionlessly.

"Eldest young lady, I'm sorry!"

A Wei woke up and quickly lowered his head: "A Wei shouldn't have spoken too much..."

"Regarding that matter, he doesn't know yet."

A flash of ferocity crossed Tang Bingyan's calm eyes: "And he won't have a chance to know."

"It's just a coincidence that he met the Yan couple. If the Yan couple is willing to keep that secret honestly, I don't mind letting Xu Tian interact with them."

"If they..."

A Wei spoke in a nervous tone.

In just a few minutes, he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

"Then we can only make them disappear."

Tang Bingyan's seemingly casual tone revealed indifference in her bones.

If the Yan couple truly cared about Xu Tian, they would definitely not tell Xu Tian the secret they had kept for more than twenty years.

But if they still had selfish motives, she would definitely eliminate them.

She would clear all obstacles for Xu Tian without hesitation, even if the price to pay was being disliked or even hated by Xu Tian.

No one in this world was more important than Xu Tian, including... himself.

"I understand, I'll call Master Lin right away."

Even though A Wei had been by Tang Bingyan's side for many years, he was still frightened by the aura she just displayed.

After walking out of the guest room, he immediately called Lin Wanshan.

After the call connected, he realized it was only four o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, Lin Wanshan always had the habit of getting up early, so he didn't disturb this internationally renowned calligraphy master.

One must know that Lin Wanshan was low-key and usually would not attend similar banquets or cocktail parties.

In all of Huaxia, besides her eldest young lady, there was probably no one else who could invite him.

Knowing the identity of the Yan couple, the eldest young lady still agreed to let Xu Tian interact with them, and even wanted to let Master Lin come out to support Xu Tian's scene.

A Wei felt that he understood Tang Bingyan's thoughts less and less.

Could it be that love makes people blind?

Then his eldest young lady was not just blind, but completely unable to see anyone else besides Xu Tian.

The next day.

Xu Tian visited all the major shopping malls in Jiangshui City but couldn't pick a gift he was satisfied with.

After all, the Yan family was a large family, and Yan Laoyezi probably wouldn't look at ordinary supplements.

Finally, he bought a box of Big Red Robe tea at a tea house and bought ginseng at the mall, planning to go to the antique market early tomorrow morning to look around.

If he couldn't find anything eye-catching before the birthday banquet started, he would just give tea and ginseng.

On the day of Yan Laoyezi's birthday banquet.

Xu Tian got up at five o'clock and came to the antique market.

There was an antique street in the old city of Jiangshui City. There were many shops here during the day, but most of them were fakes to deceive tourists from other places.

If you want to find treasures, you need to set off early in the morning to catch the market.

Before the antique shops on both sides of the street opened, many private vendors would set up stalls on the street.

There were porcelain, rubbings, ancient books, jade, and gold and silver jewelry, dazzling.

Although Xu Tian got up very early, by the time he arrived at the antique street, he only saw a few small stall owners setting up stalls.

And what they had in their hands were not antiques, mostly modern porcelain bottles or food stamps.

Xu Tian asked an old man nearby and found out that real antiques were basically sold in the ghost market.

And the ghost market on the antique street dispersed at three o'clock in the morning.

Just when Xu Tian was returning in disappointment, he suddenly noticed a small stall at the end of the street.

The reason he noticed this stall was that the stall owner was a bit unusual.

Unlike those cunning small vendors and simple farmers digging treasures from their fields, the stall owner of this inconspicuous stall was a woman, and a young and beautiful woman at that.

The woman was wearing a floor-length dress, dressed very exquisitely, with lazy chestnut-brown curly hair, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and a tear mole under the corner of her left eye that bewitched all living things.

She held her chin with both hands, looking at the passing pedestrians boredly, not like the calculation of a business person, but more like a rich young lady experiencing the world.

To attend the banquet, Xu Tian specifically chose a suit Tang Bingyan gave him from the wardrobe.

He didn't know much about luxury brands, but he knew Tang Bingyan would never buy clothes under ten thousand units.

Just now, when he was wearing this luxury item walking on the antique street, he was repeatedly treated as a fat goose waiting to be slaughtered.

The gazes of those people were naked and undisguised, almost writing the intention to trick him into buying fake goods directly on their faces.

But this woman in the floor-length dress was different.

Even though Xu Tian had been standing by her stall for a long time, she still stared at him with those black eyes that seemed to contain thousands of stars. That look didn't seem like a first meeting, but a reunion after a long separation.

Xu Tian looked back with some confusion. He didn't remember knowing this woman in front of him.

And even if he really knew her, it was better for him to keep his distance from such a beautiful woman who was easy to provoke.

Xu Tian felt that this woman was a bit abnormal, and plus her stall was full of ordinary broken things, so he turned to leave directly.

However, just as he took a step, a crisp voice like a silver bell sounded from behind.

"Handsome, this girl is in a good mood today. Do you want a free fortune-telling?"
