I turned around and saw Yan Dong walking in with a bag of food.

He didn't respond to Feng Wenting, but looked at me with surprise: "Nan Xu, why are you here too?"

"I have nothing to do on Saturday, so I thought I'd come and work overtime." I answered with a smile, deliberately making a joke to tease him, "I just didn't expect you to use the company as a date place. I didn't disturb your date with Miss Feng, did I?"

"No," Feng Wenting rushed to answer. She stepped forward and took the bag from Yan Dong. Her eyes narrowed into slits with joy. Her voice was sweet and crisp, like the sweetness of a pear. "It's the same steamed buns I liked when I was in college. Teacher Yan, you really understand me."

Yan Dong's expression suddenly became awkward. His usually gentle and calm face flushed slightly, and his words became incoherent: "Nan Xu, it's not what you think. I'm here to help Wen Ting look at the new character image. We don't have a date."

It was just a joke, but Yan Dong was so flustered and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Blame me, I shouldn't have said they treated the company as a date place.

At this moment, I also noticed that the smile on Feng Wenting's face froze instantly, and then she looked at me strangely, with unhappiness clearly revealed in her eyes.

"I was just joking, Yan Dong, don't take it seriously." I also started to feel embarrassed, and I felt like I had said something I shouldn't have said. I quickly explained and then walked towards my office. "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go get busy first."

Give space to the young couple, and perhaps the awkwardness will disappear.

However, I had just taken a step outside when Yan Dong stopped me again: "Nan Xu, don't leave yet. This is for you."

I thought Yan Dong had some work documents to give me, but when I turned around, I saw him taking out a breakfast from the food bag and handing it to me: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet? This is the crab roe bun sold by Grandma Zhu. I remember you like it, too."

Grandma Zhu’s breakfast shop is located in the university town. It has been open for a long time. I really liked her crab roe buns when I was in college.

I didn't expect that after such a long time, Yan Dong still remembers it.

Feng Wenting's expression changed again. She frowned and muttered, "But Teacher Yan, if this happens, there won't be enough for breakfast..."

"It's okay, you can have my share." Yan Dong stopped her from talking in time, still looking at me eagerly.

"No need, Yan Dong, I've already had breakfast this morning. Thank you, you guys enjoy your meal." I pushed the crab roe bun back with a smile, thanked Yan Dong politely, and then quickly walked into my office.

I had indeed eaten in the morning, so I didn't have enough stomach space to eat the crab roe buns. Besides, Grandma Zhu's store was actually not very far from where I lived. If I wanted to eat it, I could buy it myself next time. There was no need to snatch the food from Feng Wenting.

Moreover, I was afraid that if I continued to stand there, Feng Wenting would misunderstand me again, and I would compete with her for the man...

I really don't want to get involved in anyone's emotional entanglement.

Whether it is Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi, or Yan Dong and Feng Wenting.

I quickly focused on my work.

But when it was almost noon, Yan Dong knocked on my office door: "Nan Xu, you've been busy all morning, you must be hungry, shall we have lunch together?"

"Is it noon already?" When I heard him say that he wanted to have lunch together, my head was a little confused. I pretended to just react and glanced at the time on my phone, but my mind was racing, trying to find a suitable reason to refuse this meal.

Before I could think of a suitable reason, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and then Feng Wenting's figure appeared at the door.

She seemed to be running in a hurry, or maybe a little angry. Her pretty face flushed, and she frowned, saying anxiously, "But Teacher Yan, have you forgotten what you promised me last night? You would cook for me personally before noon today, as long as I can create the image of the new character. Now that I have done it, why are you asking Manager Meng to have dinner with you again?"

It turned out that Yan Dong and Feng Wenting had an appointment today. He used his cooking as a reward to motivate Feng Wenting. No wonder Feng Wenting was so proactive and made rapid progress during this period.

This is a good way to motivate people to make progress.

Yan Dong is worthy of being a professor. He not only knows how to teach students, but also knows how to help his girlfriend improve.

It’s just that this is a sweet weekend lunch for young couples, why would he invite me to have dinner with him in the middle of winter?

Yan Dong's face looked a little ugly, and his brows furrowed: "Wenting..."

"You don't keep your word!" Feng Wenting's tone became fierce.

"It turns out that Yan Dong and Miss Feng had already made an appointment for lunch. Then you two can eat together. I happen to have an appointment with someone else at noon as well." What I feared most was that the couple would quarrel because of me. Now that this happened, I quickly found an excuse to decline.

"When did I break my promise? I was going to go home and cook, but eating with two people is the same as eating with three people. There is no conflict." Yan Dong turned around and explained patiently to Feng Wenting. He turned around and looked at me again, "Nan Xu, you haven't eaten the food I cooked for a long time. Let's eat together at noon?"

Yan Dong is a person with very high emotional intelligence and EQ, but I feel like his EQ is off today.

My girlfriend had clearly made it very clear that she didn't want outsiders to interfere with their sweet lunch, so why did he insist on dragging me in?

Don’t you think that I, a 1,000-watt light bulb, am an eyesore?

I didn't dare look at Feng Wenting, feeling her obviously hostile gaze on my face, almost staring a hole in it.

I gritted my teeth and refused Yan Dong again: "I really have an appointment with someone, Yan Dong, let's do it next time. We can eat together next time if we have a chance..."

"If you really had an appointment today, you wouldn't have waited until this time and still been in the company. Nan Xu, don't you want to have dinner with us?" Yan Dong interrupted me, and his performance was a bit stubborn.

I sighed in my heart, feeling extremely embarrassed.

What's wrong with Yan Dong today?

However, just when I was in trouble, a voice came from far away outside.

"Who said that my sister didn't have an appointment? My sister clearly already had an appointment with me!" Yuan Tianye's tall figure rushed in from outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed my wrist, his eyes full of excitement, "Sister, I'm here to pick you up, let's go!"

Yan Dong was stunned, while Feng Wenting beside him was obviously relieved.

I didn't expect Yuan Tianye to show up at this time, but his appearance helped me out, so I followed his instructions and stood up: "Okay."
