Chapter 641 - Miss Tang Xin
The rest of the dinner proceeded without anything notable, aside from the fact that Li Dun had spent most of the dinner trying to start a conversation with Tang Xin. However, most of their conversations ended with Tang Xin giving one-word replies. Needless to say, this made her clan members unhappy.
But Li Dun seemed unaffected by the lack of affection as he frequently stared at her with an affectionate glow in his eyes.
Meanwhile the star of this appreciation dinner Yang Chen was mostly left to his own vices as he chowed down on the dishes in front of him, occasionally having short conversations with the mother-daughter pair Tang Wan and Tang Tang.
When it was time for the banquet dinner to come to a close, Tang Xin was about to go over to attend to Tang Zhechen before Li Dun abruptly proclaimed, "Miss Tang Xin, do you mind following me to a quiet place? There are things that I want to say to you."
Li Dun unsurprisingly was as frank as usual when he publicly announced his request for Tang Xin.
Tang Xin might be uninterested by the man next to her, but she could guess his intentions from a mile away. She was slightly embarrassed by his sudden announcement.
She had already made up her mind to bluntly reject his request, but subsequently noticed the uncompromising faces of her family members. Even Tang Zhechen and Tang Wan had their expressions brimming with expectations.
With the mounting pressure from all directions she knew she wasn't given a choice to turn him down on the spot. So she convinced herself that she was just going to hear him out and get this over with. She nodded and replied, "Let's go to the garden."
"Hah, anywhere is fine. Lead the way Miss Tang." Li Dun was thrilled as he trailed behind her.
The rest of the Tang clan were keen to know what he had to say, but they were aware that as one of Beijing's best combatants, Li Dun would instantly discover if any of them decided to eavesdrop. This might ruin whatever budding relationship they were about to start. So in response, all the maids were ordered to avoid the garden during that time for the two of them to have the entire space for themselves.
Yang Chen rubbed his belly and burped before making his way to Tang Zhechen. "Master Tang, I think it's time for me to make my move. Thank you for the dinner."
Yang Chen took an entire dinner to realise he had not decided on his accommodation in Beijing. He still had matters to attend to before he was free to go back to Zhonghai. Not to mention when Cai Yan finally returns to the Cai residence, they would still need to deal with Cai Ning's situation. Furthermore, his encounter with Yang Lie and Mei Feng prompted him to stay by Hui Lin's side, at least until her album release and her concert was completed.
Even though he was still worried about Mo Qianni back in Zhonghai, he couldn't just up and leave when his matters here were not yet settled with. All he could hope for now was for Ma Guifang to be a little more open-minded.
For now, he would need to find a place to stay. He considered calling Zhuang Feng from the branch office to arrange a hotel for him to stay in.
Tang Zhechen left Yang Chen hanging while he persuaded Tang Wan. "Wan'er, since you just recently recovered I suggest you stay in Beijing for the time being. After all, you're not in a rush to leave for Zhonghai just yet."
The brilliant Tang Wan immediately understood the deeper meaning in his words, and with a tinge of redness on the cheeks, she gently agreed.
