Qi Changfeng said slowly, “Since you design for my friend, I will treat you a meal!”

“It’s strange for you to treat me instead of your friend.” Gu Yan refused without thinking.

“What? Now you have become famous and don’t even care for a meal, right?” Qi Changfeng said with a little anger. He pretended to be sullen.

“Okay, I’ll come.” Gu Yan knew Qi Changfeng’s character. It was no use to decline him, so she agreed. As for Jiang Jingcheng… He didn’t talk too much today and gave her the chance to show herself. Actually, a lot of her inspirations were from him, and she knew that he hoped her earn the trust of Zhongtu’s president.

“Will you go with me, Jingcheng?” Gu Yan asked Jiang Jingcheng, who also planned to go. How could he let Gu Yan eat with Qi Changfeng alone? However, before he nodded, Qi Changfeng said first.

“Shall we go to the restaurant that we frequently go? The proprietress misses you so much, and she told me that she would forget you if you didn’t come. We should have a good talk to her.” Seeing Gu Yan’s approval, Qi Changfeng smiled at once. Then he looked at Jiang Jingcheng awkwardly and said, “Well, you know, the proprietress doesn’t like unfamiliar people, so…”

Though Qi Changfeng didn’t finish his words, Jiang Jingcheng knew Qi Changfeng’s meaning. Jiang Jingcheng thought if he insisted to go, he would be an annoying man. And he felt embarrassed and had nothing to say.

But if he pestered Qi Changfeng, it would make Gu Yan feel awkward. So, he just said, “I have many things to do in the studio, and I need to consider some new inspirations. So, I have to leave first.”

Then Jiang Jingcheng nodded at Gu Yan. Gu Yan knew that was an excuse, but the requests proposed by Party A indeed needed to record earlier. So, she didn’t ask him to stay. And she gave him a reassuring smile.

Jiang Jingcheng understood that Gu Yan knew what to do, so he felt reassured and then drove away.

Gu Yan knew that there was no proprietress. It was a lie that Qi Changfeng used to turn Jiang Jingcheng away. However, she didn’t prevent Jiang Jingcheng from leaving because it was unsuited for Qi Changfeng and her to say something in front of Jiang Jingcheng.

Then there were only Qi Changfeng and Gu Yan. Qi Changfeng led Gu Yan to find his car and opened the car door for her.

Then he got on. After Gu Yan fastened the seat belt, he started the car.

Gu Yan thought that she had better inform Mo Yichen that she couldn’t have dinner at home even though he was accompanying with Xiangyan. Gu Yan was afraid that Mo Yichen would be jealous if he knew she had dinner with Qi Changfeng later. So, she took out her phone and started to text.

Getting a glimpse of it, Qi Changfeng sneered and said, “Now you have to inform Mo Yichen when you eat with others, haven’t you? Do you have to inform him the social engagements of your studio every time?”

“Or you just inform him when you eat with me? Why should you get afraid of him just after a period of time?” Qi Changfeng was sad. He knew that she was texting Mo Yichen, but he still irritated her.

Gu Yan glowered at him. She thought Mo Yichen was not at home anyhow, so it was not a big deal if she didn’t inform him.

“Fine, I won’t inform him.” Gu Yan said and looked ahead. Qi Changfeng’s purpose was reached, so he remained silent and focused on driving.

Gu Yan was looking at the scenery through the window. Then she realized that the scenery was familiar to her. And she thought that Qi Changfeng didn’t lie. He did lead her to the dining-room that they used to go. Then they entered in a private room. Qi Changfeng ordered many foods that Gu Yan used to prefer.

After waiters went out, Qi Changfeng picked up the teapot on the table to pour the tea for Gu Yan, and then for himself. All dishes were served quickly because of its efficient service. There was a table of delicacies just for them, which was Qi Changfeng’s style.

“It’s been a long time since we last met. How are you?” Qi Changfeng looked at Gu Yan, who was staring blankly at the tea. Qi Changfeng shook his head and couldn’t help grinning that she was still easily distracted.

“I am fine. The worst time passed, so whatever I get through, it is better than the past.” She was afraid that Qi Changfeng would misunderstand her, so she added, “I’m quite good. How about you?”

“Me? Just so-so.” Qi Changfeng didn’t want to extend the topic. So, he changed the topic while picking up food for Gu Yan, “How does Mo Yichen treat you? If he doesn’t treat you well, you can consider me.” Although he was like joking, he did mean it.

“He is good to me. Don’t worried about others. You should think about yourself, and I am looking forward to see your wife.” Gu Yan said.

Qi Changfeng knew Gu Yan didn’t want to talk about this issue with him. He felt pained in his heart. Did he have no chance? But his expression didn’t change. He didn’t want to mess this up, so he changed the subject and mentioned the previous project.

“This project of Zhongtu is quite interesting. You need to do it well. Whether your studio can be a blockbuster among the top studios in Annan city depends on it.” His words were easy to say but not easy to do. Gu Yan agreed and nodded.

“Make yourself easy, and I will try my best to ensure it.” Gu Yan said.

“Besides, their building design is fabulous. If we do an inferior work, we will be laughed at the experts. I won’t let it happen.” Gu Yan said and smiled. Qi Changfeng thought it was right to discuss the business.

They both knew that this project had a high popularity and would attract considerable attention. As long as Gu Yan’s design was qualified, she would reach a high status in Annan City.

Fortunately, Gu Yan was confident in her major. Seeing her tranquil face, Qi Changfeng didn’t talk more about it. He changed the topic once again.

This meal was so pleasant that they talked and ate for 2 hours. It was dark outside when they came out of the restaurant. Then Qi Changfeng sent Gu Yan home. Not until he watched Gu Yan going upstairs did he leave.

When Gu Yan got home, she was unfamiliar with the cheerless room. Then she turned all the lights on. She hoped it would dispel loneliness.

She kicked off her high heels and walked to sofa with her bare feet. Then she buried herself into sofa and wondered what Mo Yichen was doing and whether Xiangyan was obedient.

As if her mind was flying to them.
