It was like two people had just said good night to each other and then met in the canyon.
The situation was extremely awkward for a moment.
Wu Pengpeng licked her lips and tried to make her expression look natural. "Yan Shen, why are you here?"
She was quite good at changing the subject.
He Qian Shan stared at her intently without blinking an eye and said calmly, "I'm here for work."
Although he couldn't let her know about his work for the time being, otherwise he would "fall out of favor", but in the current situation, it seemed that he had the upper hand.
He Qian Shan sized her up from head to toe. She wasn't wearing any makeup today and was dressed casually. She didn't look like she was here for a date.
Of course, she still looked good without makeup, like an innocent young girl.
There was a bit of careful flattery in her eyes, which made one's heart melt.
He Qian Shan had to exert a great deal of self - control to suppress the smile welling up in his eyes. He asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here..." Wu Pengpeng's mind raced. Suddenly, she had an idea. She pointed at the building and said, "To inspect. Yes, I'm here to inspect the work."
"Really?" He Qian Shan seemed to be interested. He asked with a half - smile, "Which company are you inspecting?"
Although this building was under Wu Pengpeng's name, unfortunately, all the office areas in this building had been rented out.
There really wasn't a single company here that belonged to her.
Wu Pengpeng forced a smile and perfunctorily replied, "Several companies. Do you want to come with me?"
He Qian Shan stared at her silently, and his expression still showed no clue.
Wu Pengpeng felt a tingling sensation on her scalp under his gaze. She knew that He Qian Shan had work to do, so she deliberately said this to dispel his doubts.
If He Qian Shan rashly agreed, not only would her lie be exposed, but it would be completely exposed.
Just when Wu Pengpeng thought He Qian Shan was going to agree, he finally said, "No, I'm not available today. Go by yourself!"
Wu Pengpeng silently let out a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say goodbye, a flashy red sports car roared up and stopped at her feet.
Zhao Bufan got out of the car wearing sunglasses. She tapped Wu Pengpeng with her handbag and complained, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me? I was going to pick you up. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wu Pengpeng was facing He Qian Shan and couldn't give her a signal, so she tried to force a half - smile to indicate that this topic wasn't suitable to continue.
However, Zhao Bufan's perception seemed to be blocked by her sunglasses. Seeing Wu Pengpeng still standing there stiffly, she couldn't help but urge, "Aren't you going to sign a contract? Why don't you go up? Aren't you afraid that Jiang He will get impatient and leave?"
As she said this, she closed the car door with a bang, which felt like a blow to Wu Pengpeng's heart.
Wu Pengpeng clearly heard a corner of the world built with lies in her heart collapse with a loud noise.
She偷偷 glanced at He Qian Shan. Sure enough, after the name "Jiang He" came up, He Qian Shan's entire aura visibly turned cold.
Wu Pengpeng licked her lips.
He Qian Shan stared at her without any reaction.
Wu Pengpeng blinked her eyes.
He Qian Shan still stared at her without any reaction.
Wu Pengpeng started to panic. This situation seemed a bit out of control.
Just when she was wracking her brains to come up with a justifiable explanation, suddenly a pleasant voice came, "He Qian Shan, you're here so early?"
Wu Pengpeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short - haired girl with delicate makeup walking over with a smile.
The girl seemed to only have He Qian Shan in her eyes. She walked straight up to him without looking sideways, and her eyes were bent like a crescent moon.
Wu Pengpeng looked at the beautiful girl and then at He Qian Shan.
Now it was He Qian Shan's turn to panic a bit. Although he and Wan Qianxun were college classmates, their relationship wasn't close.
He only found out half a month ago that Wan Qianxun was the boss of Wanle Park. Although they had close cooperation in company business, they didn't have much personal friendship.
Now he still couldn't let Wu Pengpeng know his real identity, so he had to play it off.
He Qian Shan had quickly organized an apology in his mind, but unexpectedly, Wu Pengpeng suddenly stepped forward and walked up to Wan Qianxun. She said in surprise, "This little sister is so beautiful!"
She reached out her hand to Wan Qianxun and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Wu Pengpeng. May I ask if little sister is interested in becoming an artist in my company?"
Wan Qianxun glanced at He Qian Shan, who was so nervous that he was about to suffocate, and suddenly became interested. She also smiled and said, "This little girl is so cute!"
She reached out and shook Wu Pengpeng's hand. "Hello, I'm Wan Qianxun. Although your proposal is quite tempting, sister has something more important to do than being an artist."
Wu Pengpeng let out a disappointed "oh". This little sister looked like a vase, and a very money - consuming one at that.
Wan Qianxun, the CEO, had no idea that this was how she was positioned in Wu Pengpeng's mind. She gave He Qian Shan a meaningful look and then looked at Wu Pengpeng again. "If little sister doesn't mind, I'll take him away."
"Don't mind, don't mind!" Wu Pengpeng didn't dare to be willful. She quickly stepped aside considerately. "You guys go ahead and be busy!"
He Qian Shan glanced at Wu Pengpeng, and Wu Pengpeng quickly waved at him obediently.
In He Qian Shan's eyes, that look became a signal of "you can get out of here quickly".
He Qian Shan's face darkened, and he strode away without looking sideways.
It wasn't until they got into the elevator that Wan Qianxun said with a smile, "It seems you're quite disappointed that she isn't jealous."
Caught in his thoughts, He Qian Shan didn't pretend anymore. He humbly asked, "I heard that girls like to be jealous. Why didn't she react?"
Wan Qianxun tidied her hair and said mysteriously, "There are usually two situations. One is that she doesn't like you, so she doesn't care who you're with; the other is that she likes you very much and wants to leave a good impression of being understanding. Even if she's aggrieved, she won't show it."
He Qian Shan asked nervously, "Which one do you think she is?"
Wan Qianxun found it very interesting to see this high - and - mighty person, who had always been on a pedestal, being brought down by a little girl.
She deliberately pretended to be confused. "I don't know about this."
Hearing this, He Qian Shan's eyes dimmed, and he didn't say anything else.
Wu Pengpeng watched He Qian Shan and Wan Qianxun get into the elevator before slowly walking towards the lobby.
Zhao Bufan saw that her mood was low and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
Wu Pengpeng said listlessly, "What do you think is the relationship between the girl with Yan Shen and him?"
"How would I know?" Just as they reached the elevator entrance, Zhao Bufan reached out and pressed the elevator button. "I saw you were very generous just now. You seemed to be eager for them to fly away together."
Hearing the phrase "fly away together", Wu Pengpeng felt a strange sense of tightness in her heart. "I just wanted to leave a good impression on Yan Shen. Isn't it said that men like understanding girls?"
Zhao Bufan scoffed and gloated, "Then you can just keep being understanding until you push him into someone else's arms."
Perhaps influenced by Zhao Bufan's ill - omened words, Wu Pengpeng was in a low mood all morning.
Even losing a billion didn't interest her. No matter what she did, the image of He Qian Shan and Wan Qianxun walking side by side would involuntarily pop up in her mind.
Wu Pengpeng managed to maintain her "understanding" persona for most of the day, but finally, it completely collapsed in the afternoon. She took out her phone and frantically sent messages to He Qian Shan.
Although He Qian Shan's mood was affected by Wu Pengpeng's "not being jealous", after all, he had been in the business world for many years and had excellent self - control. As soon as he entered the meeting room, he immediately transformed into a cold - blooded businessman.
Although He Qian Shan and Wan Qianxun were old classmates, when it came to doing business, they both showed their full potential as shrewd merchants. They spent the whole day haggling over the details, and every clause in the contract was carefully pondered and scrutinized.
All in all, to put it simply - no one should think they can earn an extra cent from He Qian Shan (Wan Qianxun).
When they came out after signing the contract, it was already getting dark outside. He Qian Shan took out his phone and saw that it had automatically shut down due to running out of battery at some point.
He charged it in the car for a few minutes and then turned on the phone. Countless text messages flooded in.
He saw Wu Pengpeng's messages at a glance and immediately clicked on her chat box.
Wu Pengpeng: "Yan Shen, are you done with your work?"
Wu Pengpeng: "Yan Shen, have you had dinner?"
Wu Pengpeng: "Yan Shen, are you angry?"
Wu Pengpeng: "Yan Shen, I decided to come out and sign the contract on a whim today. I saw that you didn't seem to like the second - party, so I was afraid you would think too much, so I didn't tell you. I really didn't mean to hide it from you."
...
Wu Pengpeng: "He Qian Shan, don't go too far! You're the one having an affair, and I haven't even gotten angry yet, but you're the first one to get angry!!!"
Seeing this, He Qian Shan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
He exited the text messages, found Wu Pengpeng's contact card in the address book, and dialed her number.
The phone was answered after one ring. There was a bit of excited surprise in Wu Pengpeng's voice. "Yan Shen."
He Qian Shan looked at the neon lights outside the window and suddenly smiled. "Who's having an affair?"
