After telling She Wenli about the recent events, he calmed herself down and said, "Mom, I'll come see you next time." Tang Ke'er stood up, moved her foot that was already numb to the ground, and left the cemetery.

Tang Ke'er received a call from Gu Langping on the carriage, "Where are you now?" Just after receiving the call, Gu Langping asked.

"Outside." Tang Ke'er replied him calmly.

"Don't forget the eight o'clock dinner tonight." Gu Langping reminded her.

"…" Banquet?

"The invitation I left in your office the other day." He knew she had forgotten.

After Gu Langping's reminder, she finally remembered that it was as if she didn't know that he had left it in some corner of the office.

"I'll pick you up at 7: 30 p.m. on time." Tang Ke'er was his female companion when she went out to travel.

"Alright." After hanging up, he took a turn and headed towards the villa.

Once she returned home, Tang Ke'er took a bath first and made herself look good.

Just as he was about to choose his dress, his cell phone rang again.

This time, it was Dou Shengming.

"What is it?" This time, Tang Ke'er immediately spoke out. Why is there someone looking for her today!

"There's a banquet where I want to have you as a female companion." In the past, he always brought Tang Yan'er in public places, but now, he didn't need her.

"Unfortunately, President Dou, I have an appointment."

Tang Ke'er thought about how Dou Shengming on the other side of the phone was rejected, and her mood improved a little.

"Push him." Sure enough, Dou Shengming who was on the phone seemed to be angry.

"I can't. My boss, I have no choice but to obey." Tang Ke'er could no longer hold back her laughter.

Hearing her laughter, Dou Shengming angrily hung up the phone.

Tang Ke'er looked at the hung up phone and shook her head. It was still the same as before.

After tidying everything up, she told Tang Xiaofan everything. At 7: 25 PM when Tang Ke'er left her house, she found that Gu Langping's car was already waiting for him.

This was how they did things. When Tang Ke'er arrived, he would see that Gu Langping was already waiting for him.

"Have you been waiting long?" Tang Ke'er looked at Gu Langping who was waiting at the door.

Looking at the Tang Ke'er of today, Gu Langping's heart sank.

Today, Tang Ke'er was wearing a long, naked dress. It was not as dazzling as the last time they had been together, but she now looked a little more intelligent and elegant.

"No, I just arrived." Gu Langping opened the car door for her.

At eight o'clock, they arrived at the banquet site on time and saw the layout of the venue, along with the photos. She knew that this was an engagement party.

After the main character's opening dance, the banquet officially began. It was inevitably another business exchange.

Coincidentally, Dou Shengming also attended this banquet, but it was understandable, since they were all in the same circle, and there weren't many who could get engaged on the same day.

It was just that this time, Dou Shengming was no longer by Dou Shengming's side.

Just as Tang Ke'er was staring at them, they saw her.

"I've already gone over. Can I deal with it alone?" Gu Langping raised his wine cup.

"Don't worry." Tang Ke'er touched it, and her lips gently touched it.

Hearing her answer, Gu Langping turned around and went to find someone else to talk to.

Just then, Dou Shengming and Chen Qu had already walked over.

"Your new boss, Ke Er." Chen Qu spoke first.

Tang Ke'er gave him a look that asked even though she already knew the answer. The night she returned seemed to be quite chaotic, so he didn't know about it.

"It has been four years since we last met, is Young Master Chen being too kind?" Tang Ke'er raised her eyebrows and teased him.

She remembered that Chen Qu was extremely beautiful four years ago, and when did he ever come to the banquet alone?

"He came with me." Dou Shengming, who had been ignored since he arrived, finally interjected. It was as if Tang Ke'er always ignored him.

Seeing the two of them in such a state, Chen Qu looked back and forth between them with a playful expression, as if he thought the two of them were having an affair.

"Oh."

"Chen Qu, let me toast you." Thank you for giving her the only bit of warmth in the hospital.

Chen Qu took a cup of wine from the waiter's tray and gulped it down with Tang Ke'er, who did the same.

Dou Shengming, who was watching from the side, had an even darker expression.

Chen Qu, who felt that something was amiss, decided to leave this place. "Ke Er, I feel a beautiful woman calling for me over there. I'll be leaving first. We'll have a chat alone another day."

"Alright." Tang Ke'er smiled at him. This was a smile from the bottom of her heart.

Chen Qu felt that it was getting colder and faster.

"Do you know each other well?" said as he watched Chen Qu leave. He vaguely remembered seeing them only in the hospital.

"Not very well." However, he treated others with sincerity.

Not very familiar with him and you're treating him coldly? Dou Shengming held her hand as if he was jealous, and squeezed her hand with a little strength.

Tang Ke'er, who had originally wanted to pull out his hand, glanced at Dou Shengming and endured it.

Seeing that Tang Ke'er did not reject him, Dou Shengming wiped away his previous unhappiness. It seemed that there was still a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Until the end of the banquet, Dou Shengming did not let go of Tang Ke'er's hand. With so many people watching, it was likely that there would be new rumors tomorrow.

Gu Langping did not appear for the entire banquet again, "It seems like I can only get back by car."

"Extremely honored." He never planned to let Tang Ke'er and her superior leave.

Dou Shengming sent her back to the villa, and before he got off the car, he was unavoidably kissed by Dou Shengming.

As he kissed her, Dou Shengming seemed to be unable to control himself and got up from the driver's seat.

The kiss went on and on until the situation became uncontrollable. Tang Ke'er's phone rang.

Tang Ke'er, who had been shocked out of her stupor, pushed Dou Shengming and Dou Shengming, who he was unsatisfied with, bit his neck before letting her go.

"Mom, where are you?" Tang Ke'er said that she would be back at ten o'clock, and it was already past ten o'clock.

"Mom will be there in five minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone with Tang Xiaofan, Tang Ke'er looked at Dou Shengming, clearly seeing the emotions in his eyes, and feeling that something was amiss.

"Let's go."

"Another kiss." Dou Shengming pulled Tang Ke'er again, his lips pressing down, but he did not take the next step, as if he was calming down.

"Let's move back to Lanjin Garden tomorrow." Dou Shengming moved away from her lips and told her in a serious tone. He didn't want to be separated from her at all.

The carriage fell into a strange silence. The longer they waited, the more Dou Shengming panicked. He had not rejected his kisses and his actions, and he had thought she had accepted him again.

"What's the matter, eh?" Dou Shengming was still the first to speak.

Tang Ke'er still did not speak, only some complex emotions flowed in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I'll wait."

"I'll go back and ask Tang Xiaofan."
