Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

The partners in Hangzhou heard that Liang Chaoxu and Jiang You had come in person.

So they all sent their top two leaders to participate in the on-site inspection and calculation the next day.

Around noon, shuttle buses lined the road next to the construction site, one after another, with the sounds of doors opening and closing echoing throughout.

Liang Chaoxu and Jiang You walked side by side in front, with their partners explaining things earnestly beside them, while Wen Li and Gong Shangshang followed behind the group.

The winter wind is strong, and the chill is palpable.

Gong Shangshang adjusted his safety helmet and whispered to Wen Li beside him, "This wind is giving me a headache. I wonder how much performance bonus we'll get after this project is completed."

As Wen Li walked, glancing at the data in her hand, she casually replied, "We'll know once the project is finished."

"Sigh~, today it's just the two of us who are truly working people." Gong Shangshang looked up at the huge crowd in front of her and said in a low voice.

Wen Li didn't reply, but quickened her pace and walked forward.

Upon seeing this, Gong Shangshang quickly jogged after him, calling out, "Wen Li, wait for me... ah!"

Hearing the cry of pain, Wen Li instinctively turned around. She saw Gong Shangshang kneeling on the ground, clutching her ankle, her expression pained.

"Did you sprain your ankle?" Wen Li turned around and walked back, bending down to help her.

Gong Shangshang cried out in pain, "No, no, no, it hurts too much. I dare not move."

Upon hearing the sound, the people in front stopped in their tracks and turned to look.

Wen Li took out her phone to call 120, but when she glanced down at Gong Shangshang's high-heeled boots, she was immediately speechless.

Wearing high heels to the construction site, it would be strange if you didn't twist your ankle.

"What's wrong?" Jiang You asked as he walked back.

Gong Shangshang: "Vice President Jiang, I sprained my ankle, it hurts so much."

"I'll have someone take you to the hospital."

As soon as Jiang You finished speaking, Wen Li took the initiative to speak.

"I'll go with Team Leader Gong."

Gong Shangshang immediately refused, "No need, you stay here and help Vice President Jiang with the calculations. I can go by myself."

Wen Li looked at her calmly, pondered for a few seconds, and then nodded: "Okay."

Jiang You was worried about letting Gong Shangshang go to the hospital alone, so he asked an assistant from a business partner to drive her away.

Everyone resumed the calculations, and Jiang You looked Wen Li up and down beside him: "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Wen Li shook her head, and when she looked up, she was caught off guard by Liang Chaoxu's concerned gaze.

Jiang You's gaze fell on Wen Li's neck: "Why aren't you wearing a scarf?"

As he spoke, he took off the scarf from his neck and was about to put it around her neck.

Wen Lilian took several steps back and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Mine is in the car, I'll go get it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li turned and walked hurriedly toward the car not far away, as if she were escaping some invisible pursuit.

Back in the car, Wen Li found a scarf and then continued rummaging through her bag for heat packs.

The wind was really strong today, making people shiver.

Wen Li took off her coat, preparing to put the heat pack on her lower back.

"click"

The sound of a car door opening could be heard.

Wen Li turned her head and saw Liang Chaoxu stride into the car and sit down next to her.

The car door closed slowly. Liang Chaoxu saw her holding her lower back and his heart tightened: "Is your back hurting again?"

"It doesn't hurt. It's a bit cold, I'll put on a heat patch."

As she spoke, Wen Li quickly tore off the heat pack packaging, her only thought being to stick it on and get off the bus as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by others in the same car as Liang Chaoxu and cause unnecessary trouble.

Liang Chaoxu saw through her thoughts at a glance and reached out to take the heat pack from her hand: "Turn around, I'll help you."

Wen Li reached out to grab it, saying, "No need, I can stick it on myself. If you have nothing else to do, get off the bus quickly."

Liang Chaoxu tilted his head back, stretched out his long arm, pulled her onto his lap, held her back and pressed her into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her.

The faint chill that had been emanating from both of them gradually melted away with that kiss, leaving only the sound of their hot breaths.

After the deep kiss ended, Liang Chaoxu gently rubbed the back of Wen Li's neck, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "Are you that repulsed by me?"

Wen Li steadied her breathing, glaring at him angrily: "What are you doing here on the job?"

"I just wanted to put a heat patch on you," Liang Chaoxu said, his gaze sweeping from her eyebrows to her still-damp red lips, before leaning in to give them a light peck. "It's because you weren't cooperating that I did this."

"Nonsense, give me the heat pack. Get out of the car right now." Wen Li's cheeks and ears were burning hot.

Liang Chaoxu supported Wen Li's waist with one hand and held a heat patch in the other, placing it on her lower back: "Sit still, don't move."

His fingertips pressed gently through the fabric: "Otherwise it will stick crooked later."

Wen Li froze on his lap, as if she were rooted to the spot, pursing her lips as she waited for him to press her down firmly.

Liang Chaoxu looked at the waistline beneath his palm, just large enough for him to wrap his hand around, his brow furrowing slightly as he subtly lightened his grip: "Why have you lost weight again? Haven't you been eating properly?"

"I've eaten." Wen Li helped him up by the shoulder, sat back in her seat, quickly put on her coat, grabbed a scarf and wrapped it haphazardly around her neck twice, then opened the door and got out of the car.

The whole set of movements was so smooth and fast that Liang Chaoxu hadn't even had time to react before she had already jogged back to the back of the crowd and started working diligently.

Liang Chaoxu looked at Wen Li through the car window, and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that Wen Li's face was unusually flushed, Jiang You walked over to her and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Li pulled her scarf up to cover most of her face, and replied with burning ears, "It's nothing, it's probably because I just ran here."

Jiang You pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

After a day's work, the partner took the group directly to the pre-booked restaurant for dinner.

Upon entering the private room, everyone took their seats.

After placing the file bag at her desk, Wen Li went to the restroom. When she returned, she saw Liang Chaoxu and Jiang You sitting on either side of her desk before she even entered.

She stood frozen at the doorway, speechless.

They're like two living fathers!

What's the difference between this and using her as a target?

"Wen Li, come help me up." Gong Shangshang's voice rang out in the corridor.

Wen Li's eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted. This was her savior!

She quickly ran over and helped Gong Shangshang to her seat, then turned around and sat in Gong Shangshang's seat herself. After settling down, she happily waited for the food to be served.

Upon seeing this, Jiang You and Liang Chaoxu exchanged a glance, then quickly turned their heads away, clearly disliking each other.

Having witnessed the whole thing, Meng Shu first glanced at Liang Chaoxu without making a sound, then slowly looked at Wen Li with a meaningful look of inquiry.

After a few rounds of drinks, Meng Shu walked up to Wen Li with her wine glass, delivering a smooth and perfunctory speech about "pleasant cooperation" and "working together."

Unable to refuse, Wen Li smiled and clinked glasses with her, drinking most of a glass of red wine.

Gong Shangshang's gaze passed over the round table and landed on Wen Li, but her mind was entirely focused on the file bag behind her.
