Guan Zhi was someone who always did as he said. He called Song Xuanhe only two days after the bowling night, wanting to go out and eat with him. However, no one picked up even after he had called several times.

At that time, Song Xuanhe had just gotten off work and was going to meet up with Xiao Shenglin. He hadn't expected to bump into the indifferent-faced Xiao Yuanmu as well as Song Jiani, who he hadn't seen in a long time, at the door.

Just as his phone rang, Song Jiani caught sight of him. She headed over to him and hugged his arm. "Xuanhe gege, Auntie said that we should all have a meal together."

After she said this, she cast a disdainful and proud glance at the tall Xiao Yuanmu, who stood a few feet away. Xiao Yuanmu didn't pay any attention to her expression. His eyes were on Song Xuanhe, who was obviously losing his patience.

His gaze was focused on the hard leather book in Song Xuanhe's hands. His gaze darkened slightly, and he asked, "Where are you going?"

Song Xuanhe pulled his arm out of Song Jiani's grasp. He then declined the call from the unknown number. He replied, "I have something going on. About to go eat with someone else."

When Song Jiani heard this, she pouted, "Auntie said that you had to come back and eat today! She even specifically had me come get you."

"My mother never mentioned this to me." Song Xuanhe gave her a cool glance. Actually, he had no idea why Song Jiani was so obstinate. Even his cold words had only made her disappear for a short while. Soon after, she had already made her comeback.

Was liking someone really supposed to be this terrifying?

Song Xuanhe frowned unobtrusively. He secretly rejoiced in the fact that he himself was in love with his art and thus above all of this.

Xiao Yuanmu watched as Song Xuanhe's eyebrows furrowed and then relaxed. He didn't know what the other was thinking about. Song Xuanhe looked like he was vexed one second but then like he was relieved in the next. A flicker of a smile flashed through Xiao Yuanmu's eyes. However, when he thought about how the other had mercilessly humiliated him on the phone a few days ago, only for some rich merchant from outside of town to donate to the orphanage for seemingly no reason the next day, his smile turned into a probing look.

Song Xuanhe didn't notice Xiao Yuanmu's expression. He stepped to one side, widening the distance between himself and Song Jiani. When he saw her lips part as if she was about to speak, he cut her off coldly. "I have something to do. If you want to eat, eat by yourself. Don't follow me. Furthermore, you're no longer an employee of this company. Don't run over here completely uncalled for again."

Song Xuanhe then left. He passed through several groups of employees, who had purposely slowed down to listen to the gossip. He then waved over the security department chief, who was standing nearby.

The security department chief quickly made his way over. "Young Mr. Song, do you have any orders?"

Song Xuanhe gestured in Song Jiani's direction with his head. In a cold tone, he said, "That woman doesn't work here. Don't randomly let her in next time."

The security department chief was taken aback. For him to have this position, he naturally had his own connections. He might not know the other people in the company, but he knew who in the company were connected to the executives. He recognized all of them. After all, to keep his job, he had to make sure that he didn't offend anyone he couldn't afford to offend.

The previous security department chief had earnestly advised him to never offend the young lady Song.

When he had heard that Miss Song had quit, he had found it strange. He hadn't expected that she had offended the little master of the company. However, how can he stop her with her identity?
