Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Gao Li was very adept at these kinds of social occasions. He toasted Lu Yanli with the first glass and then started to smooth things over with everyone else. Fang Youxi didn't need to worry about any awkward silences.

When Lu Yanli arrived at the dinner table, he didn't put on airs. He drank Gao Li's toasts with him.

Despite his anger, he couldn't really do anything to Fang Youxi.

Fang Youxi sat there quietly, eating her food, occasionally glancing at her phone and chatting idly with Mu Wangbei to pass the time.

I don't know what's wrong with me tonight, maybe I really drank a couple too much. When Lu Yanli put down his glass and looked up abruptly, he saw Fang Youxi sitting quietly next to him, one seat away, with a smile in her eyes. She looked exceptionally gentle and beautiful.

"Tangtang~" he called her softly.

"Hmm?" Fang Youxi subconsciously turned her head, her smile still on her face, and the stunning beauty of that glance captivated Lu Yanli's eyes.

He felt as if he had only just met and seen her clearly today, and suddenly his mind was in turmoil.

Fang Youxi responded subconsciously, only realizing afterward that Lu Yanli had just called her by her nickname.

"What's wrong?"

"Who are you texting? You're just grinning like an idiot."

Fang Youxi put away her phone: "I'm chatting with Tang Ze." She didn't want to provoke him anymore; today had already been tough enough.

How could she smile so gently and beautifully while chatting with Tang Ze? She was most likely chatting with Mu Wangbei. Lu Yanli felt a little uncomfortable, but given his current status, it was not his place to care.

I changed the subject and asked her, "You've been working a lot of overtime on the Lu Tong project, haven't you? It's 30% faster than before."

Fang Youxi nudged Gao Li, who was drinking with a business partner from the accounting firm, and said, "You should have praised us to our faces during the meeting just now. Our boss thought you were dissatisfied with our service."

"He's just taking advantage of the situation; you do most of the work."

Fang Youxi refused to take any credit: "You can't say that. Everyone in our group contributed. This project wasn't something I could have done by myself."

Lu Yanli teased her: "Lawyer Fang is quite modest. I remember the first time I had a meeting with her, she was so arrogant, she was practically saying she was the best in the world."

Fang Youxi chuckled: "So, Mr. Lu, do you think I meet your requirements? Our boss is right here. If you're not satisfied, you can ask for a replacement."

Her eyes were so bright and sparkling. Lu Yanli smiled and said, "Lu Tong, Fang Lu did a great job on this project. Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Lu." Fang Youxi extended her hand proactively. "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Lu Yanli shook hands with her.

Fang Youxi asked in a low voice, "So, we've made peace, right?"

Lu Yanli immediately pulled his hand away: "You're quite good at taking advantage of others, Xiao Fang."

Then they both laughed.

Lu Yanli thought, "Damn it, so be it. It's not bad to be friends with Fang Youxi. That girl is always trying to annoy people. Let her go and cause trouble for Mu Wangbei."

The dinner ended before nine o'clock, and Fang Youxi sent her location to the driver in advance so that he could come and pick her up.

Lu Yanli had drunk a bit too much, and when he left the hotel, he saw that Mu Wangbei had also arrived.

The driver arranged by the family had already arrived, and he came over to fawn over her again, clearly afraid that she would be with Fang Youxi.

Lu Yanli scoffed, and before getting into the car, he deliberately called out, "Fang Tangtang, see you next Monday."

He gave her a new name, a special name he used as a friend and business partner, then got into his car and drove away.

Lu Sansui is up to his old tricks again. Fang Youxi walked straight to Mu Wangbei's car, grinning and showing eight teeth: "I told you there was a driver, why did you still come?"

"Tell the driver to go home, I'll pick you up." Mu Wangbei came straight over after finishing his overtime work. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but whenever time allowed, he was still willing to pick her up.

Fang Youxi greeted the driver and got into Mu Wangbei's car. She had a symbolic drink today, not much. Gao Li took good care of her, and Lu Tong's colleagues naturally didn't make things difficult for her. The dinner was quite pleasant.

Mu Wangbei didn't ask a single question about Lu Yanli or even Lu Tong Group. He patted Fang Youxi's hair and asked, "Are you tired?"

Fang Youxi shook her head and stared at Mu Wangbei.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"I've noticed that you're unusually emotionally stable. You weren't upset when you saw Lu Yanli at Grandpa's house that day, and today he clearly provoked you again, yet you're still not angry?"

"Should I be angry?" Mu Wangbei replied good-naturedly, "No matter what Lu Yanli is like, it's not your fault. The Lu and Tang families still have a relationship. If I throw a tantrum or get angry, it will only put you in a difficult position. I'm happy that you're willing to take me to my grandfather's house. There's no reason for me to be angry."

His expression was calm, and it seemed genuine; there wasn't a single fault with him.

Fang Youxi really fell for his act. Every time she heard him speak so earnestly, she felt even her corpse warm up.

She poked Mu Wangbei's arm repeatedly with one finger, pouting, "How can you be so good to me?"

Mu Wangbei's lips curled into a smile. "What's good about it?"

"Everything about her is perfect. She's good-looking, has a good temper, and good taste. She suits my taste in every way." Fang Youxi was in a good mood at the moment, and she kept praising her as if she didn't care about money.

"Since I'm good to you in every way, why don't you wear the watch I gave you? I didn't even take it off when I took a shower." Mu Wangbei said this out of the blue while looking ahead and driving seriously.

Fang Youxi choked for a moment.

"Or do you not like it? Or is my taste just too bad?"

She's waiting for him here. As a person, lust is a double-edged sword; one must never be complacent.

Fang Youxi sat up straight and said, "I'll wear it on my wrist tomorrow and raise my hand to everyone I meet. I'll add a prefix before I speak to each person. See if my boyfriend gave it to me? I'm not showing off, but people just don't like it if I don't wear it."

It was sarcastic and a little mischievous.

Mu Wangbei freed one hand to ruffle her hair, his smile almost overflowing: "Okay, let's follow this script."

It wasn't that he wasn't angry, but he didn't want Fang Youxi to think he was petty. Lu Yanli was always prickly towards him, and he could see that all too well. Calling her "Fang Tangtang" to his face was not the attitude or address a normal friend should have, but he didn't want to argue with him in front of Fang Youxi.
