She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

The crisp sound startled me.

It's not just because the voice sounds familiar, but also because the appearance of this voice was beyond my expectations.

I immediately turned my head and saw a face with exquisite makeup.

"Manager Meng, congratulations to you and Director Yuan." Feng Wenting stood there elegantly in a white haute couture dress, looking at me with a smile, and turned her face to the side and continued, "Teacher Yan and I are here to celebrate for you and Director Yuan. Manager Meng looks so beautiful today. Standing together with Director Yuan, they are a perfect match made in heaven, perfect for each other!"

Next to her stood Yan Dong, holding a gift in his hand.

Yan Dong didn't seem to be in a good mood. He stood next to Feng Wenting with a gray face. His eyes fell on my face with a hint of melancholy and hurt.

But I didn't care whether he was depressed or injured, because my attention was all on Feng Wenting at the moment, and I was shocked and surprised.

Didn't Wu Ling say that Feng Wenting's parents died and Feng Wenting and her brother and sister went back to their hometown to visit the graves and asked for three days off? How come Feng Wenting came back before the day was over, and appeared in front of me dressed so exquisitely? Look at her dress, she is wearing a high-end dress, it doesn't look like she is wearing it to visit the graves, but it looks like she is dressed up for a banquet.

Is it to attend the party hosted by Yuan Tianye and me?

Feng Wenting's next words cleared up the doubts in my mind.

She smiled even more brightly, as if jokingly: "I heard from Xixi that Manager Meng and Director Yuan have been together for a long time, but they just decided to make it public today, right? I was saying that I thought Manager Meng and Director Yuan must have been in a relationship before, but Teacher Yan didn't believe it and even ordered flowers behind my back to confess to Manager Meng. What happened? She was embarrassed by her boyfriend, right?"

Oh, he really came back here specially.

It was Lin Xixi who tipped her off, telling her that Yan Dong had confessed to me, so this young lady rushed back from her hometown, dressed up beautifully, and rushed to attend our party with Yan Dong.

Just as I predicted, Feng Wenting really cared about Yan Dong's confession to me, so she had to come and see if Yuan Tianye and I were really together, only then could she feel at ease.

But by saying this, she was somewhat disrespectful to Yan Dong.

"Wenting, that's enough." Yan Dong seemed to be in an even worse mood after hearing what she said, and he frowned and interrupted her.

He put a small box into my palm, and his warm eyes looked at me quietly, with soft affection in his eyes: "Nan Xu, I didn't prepare any gifts for you. I only prepared a gift for you. I hope you will be happy. I will not give up the goals I set. One day we can be happy together."

Feng Wenting's smile immediately froze on her face. She pursed her lips and stared at me with a fierce look in her eyes.

Yan Dong has always been a very measured person, but what he did and said today were beyond my expectations.

He still wanted to pester me, even though I was nominally Xiao Ye's girlfriend and even though Feng Wenting was right next to him.

This bothers me even more.

Because not only Feng Wenting was there, Xiao Ye was also there. If I hadn't held his hand tightly, he would probably have started fighting with Yan Dong again.

"I'm sorry Yan Dong, if this gift is a gift from Xiao Ye and me, I'll be happy to accept it, but if it has other meanings, then I can't accept it." I must make my position clear. At least, I have to let Feng Wenting see clearly that I have no intention of stealing a man from her.

I returned the box to Yan Dong. Yan Dong smiled bitterly: "Nan Xu, are you just like this..."

"Professor Yan, since Xuxu has said so, you should stop making things difficult for her." Wu Ling was good at smoothing things over. As soon as she opened her mouth, Yan Dong really put the small box away silently.

I immediately asked everyone to take a seat.

There were quite a few guests today, even Xiao Yamaning and the others came to join in the fun. For a moment the room was bustling with activity, and everyone was vying to clink glasses with me and Yuan Tianye.

"Sister, don't drink if you have a bad stomach." Xiao Ye was worried about my health and took my wine glass away.

I saw something was wrong and hurried to stop him: "What are you doing?"

Ono tilted his head back and drank my glass of wine in one gulp. Then he said to the people who were toasting him: "My girlfriend doesn't drink today. Those of you who want to toast me can go directly to me! I'll drink the wine today alone!"

This silly boy, he got drunk after just one glass of wine. There were so many people and so much wine, but he actually drank it all!

I went to grab his glass, but he held my wrist: "It's okay, girlfriend, I have to drink tonight's wine."

"Sister Meng, don't protect him, let him drink! A man should live up to his boasts!" Among all the people who were toasting, Zhang Tingyuan was the most excited. He shouted and poured wine into Yuan Tianye's mouth, "Drink, Xiaoye, if you are a man, drink it, drink it in big gulps!"

Yuan Tianye picked up the wine glass and drank it again without saying a word.

"Well, Young Master Yuan is really generous!" Just as Zhang Tingyuan walked away, another person came forward with a glass of wine in his hand and toasted Yuan Tianye again, "Come, I'll also toast Young Master Yuan and Manager Meng. Young Master Yuan, you have to drink double!"

It was Zeng Zhi. This kid was also crazy. He drank more than Zhang Tingyuan. The way he stared at Yuan Tianye was as if he wanted to eat him.

Yuan Tianye was a decisive person. He immediately poured two glasses of wine and drank them one by one.

I was terrified by what I saw. I wanted to persuade them, but they pushed me to the periphery and I couldn’t even reach Yuan Tianye.

There were laughters in the room. Yuan Tianye was surrounded by them. I was worried. Wu Ling put his arm around my shoulders and whispered to me, "Xu Xu, tell me the truth. Are you and Xiao Ye really together?"

"Of course it's true." I was shocked when I heard this question, but I didn't show it on my face. I answered calmly, "Look, the love wedding banquet has been set up."

"Lin Xixi said that you two have been together for a long time, is that true? So, the kiss mark on your neck that morning was left by Xiaoye?" Wu Ling raised his eyebrows and stared into my eyes, but there was clear suspicion and temptation in his eyes.

She seemed not to believe that I would be with Yuan Tianye.

But since I chose to pretend to be a couple, if I want to deceive Zhou Hanzhi and Yan Dong, I have to act very realistically without any loopholes.

"Yes, yes!" I was nervous for a moment and stuttered a little, but I still agreed affirmatively, "Who else could it be except Xiao Ye?"

The moment I nodded, I felt a burning gaze from the opposite side falling on my face. I looked up and suddenly met a pair of familiar sharp eyes.

The scrutiny, blame, and resentment in those eyes... were so strong that they could not be dissolved.

I feel even more guilty.
