The man who was looking at the scenery outside the window slowly turned his head. His gentle eyes revealed a hint of surprise when he saw her.

“Director Lin.”

Then, his gaze landed on the man beside Lin Qingqian.

When Jiang Yanshen saw him, his eyes darkened and his aura gradually turned cold.

Lin Qingqian sensitively sensed that the atmosphere was not right. She pursed her lips and said, “This is Han Liubai, my colleague. This is Director Jiang.”

Han Liubai stood up and extended his cold fingers to Jiang Yanshen. His voice was as gentle as ever. “Director Jiang, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Jiang Yanshen’s dark eyes landed on his palm. After a few seconds of silence, he reached out and held it. “Mr. Han, nice to meet you.”

The two men looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Lin Qingqian’s gaze shifted between the two of them. She felt that they seemed to have known each other for a long time.

Perhaps sensing the probing look in Lin Qingqian’s eyes, the two of them quickly released their hands. Their expressions were indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

However, the fingers behind their backs turned red at the same time.

Han Liubai smiled. “Since we met by chance, why don’t we eat together?”

Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything and looked at Jiang Yanshen. He didn’t like to eat at the same table with strangers.

Jiang Yanshen smiled. “I’ll do as you say.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he gentlemanly pulled out the chair beside him and let Lin Qingqian sit down while he sat beside her.

In this way, Han Liubai sat alone opposite them. It was as if they were divided into two camps.

Han Liubai gentlemanly asked the Manager to bring the menu to Lin Qingqian. Jiang Yanshen stared at him. “Mr. Han, you must be in a good mood since you came here to eat alone.”

Han Liubai didn’t seem to understand the meaning behind his words. He smiled faintly. “I wanted to reward myself before I go to work. Otherwise, how can I help the boss earn money?”

The gentleness with which he looked at Lin Qingqian with a smile was completely provocative in Jiang Yanshen’s eyes.

Sensing that he was looking at her, Lin Qingqian raised her head and smiled.

“What I said before was just a joke. You don’t have to feel so pressured.”

“There’s no pressure.” Han Liubai smiled faintly. “It’s just that since Master Qi sent so many cheongsams over, I thought that I should try to use them when styling male celebrities. This way, I can add some publicity for our national culture.”

When Lin Qingqian heard that, she tilted her head slightly in deep thought. “Your idea is very good, but there aren’t many domestically-styled men’s clothing brands at the moment. There are very few that can satisfy the demand. We need to study it carefully later.”

Han Liubai then replied, “I’ve already chosen a few brands. When I return to the office, I’ll ask their person-in-charge to talk to me.”

Lin Qingqian was touched by his thoughtfulness. The smile on her lips deepened. “Okay.”

The two of them talked non-stop when it came to work, as if they had endless things to say. On the other hand, Jiang Yanshen, who was sitting at the side, was ignored, as if he was an unnecessary existence.

Jiang Yanshen’s expression was calm, and he didn’t look impatient at all. Instead, he busily refilled her water and handed her paper towels.

“She doesn’t like vanilla.” Han Liubai’s sudden words made the atmosphere suddenly turn cold.

The vanilla dessert in Jiang Yanshen’s hand fell into a dilemma.

Lin Qingqian also came back to her senses and looked at the dessert he was about to hand over. For a moment, she had mixed feelings.

Han Liubai pursed his lips and said, “She doesn’t like vanilla-flavored food.”

Jiang Yanshen looked at her sideways. “Didn’t you say that you like vanilla the most?”

Lin Qingqian held her breath and pursed her lips tightly without saying anything.

Jiang Yanshen placed the dessert in front of her and looked at Han Liubai.. His deep voice sounded word by word—
