Everyone was sitting around the dining table, with the clinking of bowls and chopsticks, the pouring of wine, and the laughter of a few women. The scene was peaceful.

Wang Yan sat at the end of the table to the right of Guan Ju'er. On the other side were Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy sitting in the middle. On the opposite side were Director Bai, Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei next to Andy.

Fan Shengmei raised the cup and said, "Here, pick up the cup. Thank you Andy for providing us with the venue, and thank you Wang Yan for the feast."

Everyone had a drink together. Andy "coughed" for a moment and looked at Wang Yan: "I'm really not used to drinking it, but it tastes good. Let's have some more."

"Just in moderation, the main thing is to eat crabs." Wang Yan nodded and handed the wine jar to Guan Ju'er.

At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao, who put down his wine glass, picked up a piece of spicy fried crab and said, "Wow, all the dishes on this table were cooked by Chef Wang? You are so awesome~" The word "chef" was emphasized.

.

Andy took the wine and saw that Wang Yan didn't care. He patted her and said, "Eat yours."

Shrugging, Qu Xiaoxiao said: "By the way, I just saw that handsome guy Bai was cooking by himself? What was he doing?"

Qiu Yingying raised her head and muttered: "It's just this preserved egg tofu, it's delicious." After saying that, she looked at Wang Yan and said with a smile: "It's not worse than Brother Wang."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, took a sip and said, "Well, yes, Yingying is right." As he said that, he winked at Qiu Yingying.

Qiu Yingying was so shy that she hurriedly lowered her head to eat the crab. Only her shaking shoulders betrayed her happiness.

Giving Wang Yan a sideways glance, Qu Xiaoxiao picked up the spoon, took a bite, and exaggeratedly said: "Hmm~ It's so delicious. This is the most delicious dish I've ever tasted. It's much better than what Chef Wang cooks."

Lifting the wine glass, Qu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows at Supervisor Bai and continued: "Qiu Yingying, you are so happy, I'm so jealous. I just like handsome guy Bai like this, handsome and good at running a house. Come on, handsome guy Bai,

Let’s have a drink alone.”

Manager Bai raised his glass and said, "No matter what, I would like to thank so many beauties for their help to Yingying."

Andy was about to say something. Fan Shengmei looked at the two people who were clinking glasses and drinking with each other's eyes, then glanced at Wang Yan, patted Andy, and shook her head.

Andy frowned and said nothing.

The meal came to a happy end with Fan Shengmei's thoughtful efforts, Qu Xiaoxiao's various teasing, and Supervisor Bai's sarcastic remarks about Wang from time to time.

Qu Xiaoxiao talked to herself, and when Wang Yan ignored her, she became angrily and stopped looking for trouble. She was also afraid of offending Wang Yan, and she was a weak woman who couldn't resist.

Wang Yan basically didn't speak much except for occasionally whispering a few words to Guan Ju'er beside him. He just drank wine, ate side dishes, and watched the monkeys.

At this time, Qiu Yingying, who was opposite, glanced at the mobile phone on the table: "Oh, it's so late. Xiaobai, you should go. You can't catch the subway. I'll take you out. Let's go, let's go."

Manager Bai was stunned for a moment, looked around at the women present, and finally his eyes stopped on Qu Xiaoxiao, and nodded: "Okay, I'll leave first."

"Are you leaving now? I haven't even said a few words to you yet." Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head seemingly regretfully, walked up to Supervisor Bai with a big crab in her hand and said, "Guan Ju'er,

Please take two photos of me and Director Bai. When I have nothing to do, I can take a look and recall the most delicious preserved egg tofu."

Looking at the photos on her phone, Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Director Bai with a smile and waved: "Bye~"

After taking a deep look at Qu Xiaoxiao, Manager Bai was pulled away by Qiu Yingying.

Looking at the door slamming shut, throwing away the crab shell in his hand, and squinting at Wang Yan who was drinking wine, Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and smiled disdainfully: "Just now, I went to

That white supervisor put a note in his pocket. I promise he will be bold enough to call me tonight."

Guan Ju'er stared at Qu Xiaoxiao angrily and said nothing.

Andy said angrily: "He is Xiaoqiu's boyfriend, what you did is too much."

Qu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with me testing Xiaoqiu's boyfriend?"

Fan Shengmei on the side said something human: "You are verifying your personal charm..."

Before he could continue talking, Wang Yan on the side drank all the wine in the glass, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Well, what you said makes sense." He put down the tissue and faced Qu Xiaoxiao, who was leaning towards him.

Said: "Do you want to say that if you had known the result earlier, the result would have been better? You are a meritorious person?"

Qu Xiaoxiao sarcastically said: "Why are there chefs like you everywhere?"

This was really putting down the bowl and scolding her father. Wang Yan glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao, gestured to where she was sitting just now and said: "If you are looking for a boyfriend, hide it, but don't let me help you test the boy."

It’s troublesome for friends to accumulate virtue, don’t you think?”

Qu Xiaoxiao said with an ugly face: "Wang, I warn you, don't go too far..."

Looking at her strangely, Wang Yan said: "What's wrong with me testing your boyfriend for you? Isn't this what you just said? It's okay if you're not grateful, but you threaten me in return?"

Knowing that she couldn't defeat Wang Yan, Qu Xiaoxiao picked up her bag and walked to the door and snorted: "We'll see." After saying that, she closed the door with a bang.

Andy frowned, looked at the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to look at Wang Yan with Guan Ju'er and Fan Shengmei.

Without paying attention to their looks, Wang Yan said to Guan Ju'er: "Xiao Guan, wait until you tell Xiao Qiu this matter tomorrow. Don't talk about it today, otherwise she will be choked and can't sleep well."

After saying hello to Andy, Wang Yan opened the door and went upstairs to go home.

The remaining three girls look at me and I look at you. Finally, Fan Shengmei asked as in the play: "Do you think Manager Bai will call Qu Xiaoxiao?"

Andy said uncertainly: "Probably not."

Guan Juer said nothing because she already had the answer.

After looking at the two of them, Fan Shengmei sighed and said, "Okay, everyone is gone. Let's help Andy clean up."

"Oh, okay." Guan Ju'er responded, and the three of them began to clean up the mess on the table.

The next day, Wang Yan got up early to exercise as usual. But today was a rest day, and Andy didn't get up early because he needed more rest.

Wang Yan had finished her breakfast, and when she was walking back with her hands behind her back, she met Andy and Guan Ju'er, one behind the other, at the gate of the community.

"Good morning." "Good morning, Brother Wang." The two of them greeted Wang Yan.

"Well, morning." Wang Yan nodded and asked Guan Ju'er, "Xiaoguan, what's going on today?"

Guan Ju'er said sheepishly: "Sister Andy said that if you go for a run in the morning, you will feel refreshed all day long."

"When you come out for the first time, you should pay more attention and exercise appropriately." Seeing her nod, Wang Yan continued: "By the way, have you told Xiao Qiu?"

Guan Ju'er said: "Not yet. When I came out, Yingying hadn't gotten up yet."

"I know, you can tell her later. If you can't control it, just go upstairs and find me. That's it, you guys go run, I'll go back first."

"Well, I understand, Brother Wang, don't worry."

Andy looked at Wang Yan's back and said to Guan Ju'er beside him: "He treats Xiao Qiu very well."

"Brother Wang is also very good to me. Sister Andy, don't you and Brother Wang get along very well? Yesterday you told me that you exercise and have breakfast together every morning." Guan Ju'er said: "It's just that

He seems to dislike Sister Fan a little bit."

"Oh?" Andy looked at Guan Ju'er doubtfully, waiting for her next answer.

"In my impression, Brother Wang has never communicated with Sister Fan. Last time he sent me to work, I asked him if he didn't like Sister Fan." Guan Ju'er thought about the situation at that time and said, "It's just that Brother Wang said

I didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, so I stopped talking about this matter before I could continue asking.”

After listening, Andy thought thoughtfully for a moment, looked at Wang Yan's disappearing back and shook his head: "Let's leave him alone and run. You will find out later..."

Wang Yan returned home and washed himself, made a pot of tea, and sat on the futon, thinking about how to arrange it... He was quirky, free and easy, and sharp-minded. He seemed cynical, but he was actually true and kind, making people love and love him.

The thorny rose of hate...

At first, he was thinking about Qu Xiaoxiao, but then he became confused and didn't know where his thoughts went. After all, he had too many things to hide, and he couldn't help but think about nothing.

After a long time, Wang Yan was awakened by a knock on the door.

He knew who it was without having to think about it. He got up and walked over to open the door. As expected, he saw Qiu Yingying with an uneasy face and red eyes, and Guan Ju'er following behind.

Qiu Yingying asked with tears in her eyes: "Brother Wang, Guan Ju'er told me. Supervisor Bai sent me a message at midnight last night saying that he was helping a friend move. Do you think he went to find Qu Xiaoxiao?"

"What do you think?" Wang Yan looked at Qiu Yingying, who was about to cry, and quickly interrupted: "Come in and talk."

Looking at Wang Yan who was skillfully playing with the tea set opposite her, Qiu Yingying finally couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out: "Oh, brother Wang, what do you think I should do?"

Wang Yan said helplessly: "Xiao Qiu, please stop crying first." After saying that, he picked up the mobile phone on the side, flipped it and handed it to her: "Look at this first."

Qiu Yingying choked and asked: "It's...um...what?" Then she took the phone and turned it over, then looked up at Wang Yan in disbelief and said: "Brother Wang, this...are these all true?"

Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Qiu Yingying yelled "scum" and then threw the phone.

Wang Yan had quick eyes and quick hands and snatched the phone from her hand to avoid the bad situation that the phone was about to face: "Don't you want to cry?" Seeing Guan Ju'er looking at the phone in his hand curiously, Wang Yan handed it to her.

"I don't want to..." She nodded first, then shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I still want to cry, Brother Wang."

"Crying yourself blind? Crying about the sweet time you spent together?" Wang Yan sighed, poured tea for them both, and said: "Come, drink some tea to moisten your throat. In fact, you don't have to do this. My instructions

Did you listen?"

Qiu Yingying nodded "Yeah": "Fortunately, I listened to your words, otherwise I would regret it to death now?"

"That's it. Compared with the two, you should be more..."

Before Wang Yan could finish speaking, Guan Ju'er on the side finished reading these things and angrily said: "Yingying, what else do you have to cry about? If you don't dump such a scumbag, he will still be there.

What are you thinking about?"

"Listen to me, what you should do now..."

While Guan Ju'er was enlightening Qiu Yingying, Wang Yan quietly stood up and walked to the study, leaving space for the two of them.

Wang Yan could understand Qiu Yingying. It was normal for a simple little girl to feel deceived, angry, sad, regretful, helpless and other emotions piled up together. It was normal to cry and vent. But he really couldn't stand the crying look. It was too disturbing to watch.
