Gu Chengyan immediately became vigilant and looked at Lin Man with a worried expression.

Lin Man was stunned for a moment, and then found it funny. Shen Lian was in Jiangcheng with Ji Minfeng, so how could he have time to attend the evening party?

She raised the corners of her lips and pointed it out directly, "Even if I agree, will Shen Lian be able to come back in time?"

Xiao Lang was speechless for a moment. It was not Shen Lian who asked this question in the first place. He just wanted to test Lin Man.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask, "What if he can?"

"Then forget it." Lin Man looked at her nails, thinking about whether to get a manicure later, and replied casually to Xiao Lang: "I already have a male partner, if Shen Lian wants to come back, let's Let him find another female companion."

After saying that, he grabbed the corner of Gu Chengyan's clothes and said, "Brother Chengyan, let's go."

Xiao Lang looked at the two people leaving, raised his eyebrows, and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Shen Lian, "Your little ancestor is going to run away with another man. I just asked her if you can come back in the evening, can she I can’t be your female companion, she refused.”

"?" Shen Lian's answer was very brief.

Xiao Lang knew Shen Lian very well. The less he said, the worse his mood became.

Shen Lian was probably already furious over there, so he didn't mind pouring more fuel on her, "Because she said she wanted to be Gu Chengyan's female companion and asked you to find someone else."

Later, when Xiao Lang sent another message, Shen Lian simply stopped replying.

Only then did he put away his phone with satisfaction. He probably had another good show to watch tonight.

After picking out the dress, Lin Man was about to ride his motorcycle back. Gu Chengyan drove over first and said, "I'll see you off."

Lin Man hesitated for two seconds and got in the car.

Gu Chengyan drove quietly, but his peripheral vision couldn't help but drift toward Lin Man.

"Brother Chengyan, just tell me if you have any questions." Lin Man suddenly spoke. Although she was in a bad mood, Gu Chengyan's gaze was so obvious that it was difficult for her to even notice it.

In her impression, Gu Chengyan always spoke directly, and it was rare to be so hesitant.

"You...why didn't you agree to be Shen Lian's female companion?" He knew that Lin Man and Shen Lian had been having some conflicts the past two days, but when he heard Lin Man's refusal, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

I even thought a little greedily, was it because of him that Lin Man refused?

"He can't come back. What Xiao Lang said was just a joke. If he really wants to invite me to be his female companion, he can just call me on WeChat and ask me. Why send the message through Xiao Lang?" What's more, first come, first served, she has already promised Gu Chengyan, You can't let Gu Chengyan go just because of Shen Lian's intervention.

Lin Man tried hard not to think about the scene when Ji Minfeng appeared in pajamas when he was on the phone with Shen Lian.

She turned her head and looked out the window, letting the wind blow over her cheeks, thinking it would make her feel better.

Gu Chengyan withdrew his gaze and looked forward, feeling lonely.

The two of them returned to the laboratory in silence.

As evening approaches, the atmosphere in the laboratory becomes lively. Anyone I meet on the street is dressed up in a grand manner.

The women wear long dresses and elegant makeup, while the men wear suits and leather shoes with elegant demeanor.

Lin Man came out of the office, already dressed. She wore a black velvet skirt. The decent tailoring perfectly showed off her waist. Her superior waist-to-hip ratio was enviable. She wore a pearl necklace around her neck, with one pearl hanging from it. The drop-shaped sapphire exudes a luxurious and elegant temperament.

Gu Chengyan was waiting for her outside the door. When he saw her coming out, his eyes flashed with surprise.

Lin Man walked towards him, swaying every step he took. He couldn't help feeling that the girl who used to joke and play with him had really grown up.

It was so charming that he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Shen Lian.

Lin Man saw that Gu Chengyan was stunned and didn't move, so he checked his clothes again, "Is there something wrong?"

After that, she took out her mobile phone and used it as a mirror to look at her, "Is it because I didn't put on makeup? I didn't bring any makeup, so I just put on lipstick. Doesn't it look too solemn?"

"No, no, it's just fine as it is." Her skin is fair and delicate, and the more cosmetics cover it up, the less clear it is.

Lin Man glanced at Gu Chengyan dubiously, and finally stopped worrying. Who cares, she wasn't here to discuss business, she just had to have fun.

Gu Chengyan drove and the two of them rushed to the party venue.

Because Gu Chengyan is the leader of the laboratory and adheres to the principle that important people should appear last, the person in charge specially asked the two of them to start late to have a finale.

Halfway through the car, Gu Chengyan got out of the car and bought milk tea and small cakes for Lin Man, "Let's eat something to cushion our stomach first."

"Won't food be provided at the party?"

Gu Chengyan laughed, "There will be a lot of people toasting later, and you may not have time to eat."

Lin Man then thought about it, and she realized that Gu Chengyan was in the laboratory, and her identity was his female companion. If she didn't protect her, someone would try to get in touch with Gu Chengyan through her.

Seeing her sipping milk tea, Gu Chengyan tilted his head, looked at her with a smile, and said softly: "If you can't handle it, come to me. No matter how busy you are, I will always be there."

Lin Man nodded. She didn't notice that a Bentley across the street slowly raised its window.

When their car drove away, the Bentley also started.

Arriving at the entrance of the banquet, Gu Chengyan showed the invitation letter and took Lin Man in. By coincidence, Shen Xiayun and Su Qianxin were just a step ahead.

Lin Man secretly thought that the road between enemies was narrow, which was bad luck. He wanted to ignore the two of them and go straight in.

There were some people who didn't have good eyesight. Shen Xiayun suddenly reached out to stop Lin Man, "Do you know where this place is? Just come in?"

Lin Man raised her eyebrows with surprise in her eyes. Didn't she see Gu Chengyan show the invitation letter? Or did Su Qianxin not tell her Gu Chengyan's identity?

But it would be ugly to make a fuss in front of so many people. Lin Man didn't want to say anything more to her, so he didn't answer and walked in without looking away.

Shen Xiayun became angry when he saw Lin Man's attitude. He became even more energetic and stood directly in front of Lin Man, scolding him in a low voice, "This is not the place you should be. Go back quickly and don't embarrass yourself here."

Lin Man raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Su Qianxin.

He chuckled and asked her, "Isn't Shen Xiayun your good sister? How come we met at noon and you haven't told her Brother Chengyan's identity yet?"

Su Qianxin's eyes averted because she was still feeling suffocated because of what happened at noon.

Gu Chengyan is obviously attracted to Lin Man. Now she doesn't even want to please her. She even secretly hopes that Shen Xiayun can help her vent her anger. After all, she is from a good background. Even if she really offends Gu Chengyan, the laboratory can't do it. How is she.

Realizing that there was something in Lin Man's words, Shen Xiayun looked at Su Qianxin suspiciously, "What is the identity of this pretty boy?"

She wanted to ask Su Qianxin why she was so respectful to this man at noon, but then things got busy and she forgot about it as soon as it got mixed up.

"He is from the Snapdragon Laboratory, and his status should be quite high." Su Qianxin hesitantly spoke, not daring to look into Shen Xiayun's eyes, and finally explained uneasily, "I was in too much of a mood at noon. Oops, I forgot to tell you."
