The phone rang, Li Yin turned back to his workstation and answered the call, immediately changing to a formal answer, while walking to the side,

"Hello, Mr. Liu..."

Su Xiaorong has already opened the afternoon tea sent by Xiang Siyuan.

This is a big box, which contains nine small boxes of desserts of different flavors. The flavors can be arranged by the store or you can choose them yourself.

Su Xiaorong didn't know whether to continue opening the other big box next to her. Wang Yong came over with his cell phone.

"My friend said he sent me an afternoon tea. This should be it. Just open it."

Su Xiaorong was in the mood to eat melons again. As she unpacked the takeaway, she said excitedly,

"Is it the friend from the cafe last time?"

Cafe? The time when Li Yin became depressed? Xiang Siyuan thought to himself, his face expressionless.

The takeaway box was opened, and there were nine small boxes just like Xiang Siyuan's, but the color of the boxes was slightly different.

"Hey, why is there a little note here?"

Su Xiaorong picked up one of the small boxes with a sticky note on it, and read it out directly,

"Li Yin's exclusive, vanilla flavor."

Xiang Siyuan took a look at the note and it was most likely handwritten by the owner. The font was very thin, like a girl's.

"Wow, so thoughtful." Su Xiaorong looked at Wang Yong with her eyes.

"Your friend is really nice to Sister Yin. Last time he gave Sister Yin her favorite fruit, and this time he gave her desserts that suit her taste. Something's going on~"

Su Xiaorong did it on purpose. She could tell that Mr. Xiang seemed to have some interest in their sister Yin, otherwise why would the boss of a big company come down specially for afternoon tea?

Hehe, let me make you nervous for a while, our Sister Yin is very popular.

Su Xiaorong secretly observed Xiang Siyuan's expression. Xiang Siyuan looked calm and asked Wang Yong as if he was chatting, but the words he asked were not so leisurely.

"I heard Teacher Li mention your friend's name. I might know him."

"Xiao Zecheng, he works in the medical field." Wang Yong picked up a small cake labeled matcha flavor, took a bite, and asked without any doubt, "Does Mr. Xiang know him?"

Xiao? Or Xiao? He did know a man named Xiao, who was also in the medical industry, but he was a middle-aged man over 50 years old. Xiang Siyuan invested money in his medical project.

Could it be his child? What a coincidence!

Xiang Siyuan remained calm and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know him. Jiang Wen and Wang Yong looked at each other without saying anything.

Jiang Wen turned around and called Lin Lingling to come over for snacks, her name is Xiao Lin from Finance. This time Jiang Wen resisted the urge to make fun of her name. Last time she deliberately didn't call her by her full name, and Xiao Lin ignored her for several days.

Su Xiaorong's eyes rolled around, she bit the spoon, and the smile on her face never faded.

"Have you opened it? Do you know who sent it?"

Li Yin came over after answering the phone, and was a little surprised to see that everyone had already started eating.

Su Xiaorong was choosing between two takeaways. Seeing Li Yin coming over, she handed her the one with her name on it and winked at her.

"Sister Yin, this is specially given to you. The case has been solved. It was sent by the handsome guy we met in the cafe that day."

Li Yin took the cake and was about to open it, but when she heard Su Xiaorong's words and saw the words on the sticky note, she subconsciously glanced at Xiang Siyuan beside her.

Xiang Siyuan felt her gaze, turned his head and looked into Li Yin's eyes seriously, just staring at Li Yin with deep eyes.

When Li Yin couldn't stand this direct gaze and wanted to look away, Xiang Siyuan's eyes suddenly curved slightly and he smiled at Li Yin.

Li Yin was stunned for a moment and even held her breath. Everything around her seemed to be silent, with only the pounding of her own heartbeat in her ear.

The atmosphere became tense, and at this moment, it seemed as if the person in front of me was the only one left in my eyes and heart.

In just a few seconds, Li Yin came back to her senses and turned her head in a panic, trying to cover up and asked Su Xiaorong,

“Is the cake delicious?”

Su Xiaorong was picking at the edge of the cake with her head down, not noticing the undercurrent between the two of them, and nodded.

"Well, it's delicious."

Li Yin looked down at the cake in her hand, and her mood was instantly mixed with something else. She put the cake back into the box.

"Taste this."

An opened small box was placed in front of Li Yin. There was a layer of tender pink cream on the round cake, dotted with peach pieces, which looked delicious.

Li Yin looked up at Xiang Siyuan and then immediately shifted her gaze to the box, reaching out to take it.

"Thank you."

Xiang Siyuan looked at Li Yin's expression, took a sip of the water in the cup, and said casually,

"I heard from Xia Xia that you like to eat peaches."

Li Yin took a bite. The cream was smooth and sweet but not greasy. The peaches were fresh and juicy. She nodded.

"Yes, I like it."

"So... you like mangosteen too?"

"like."

"Like persimmons?"

"Ah."

“Hard persimmon or soft persimmon?”

"like it all."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, suddenly becoming childish, like little kids playing a game that only the two of them understood.

"You like grapes, right?"

"Well, how do you know all that?"

"I'm asking for your well-being."

"This little traitor."

"Well, he's a little traitor."

Maybe it was Li Yin’s illusion, the little cake in her mouth seemed to have honey added to it, making it feel sweeter.

Jiang Wen and Xiao Lin squeezed together on the sofa. She nudged the person next to her with her shoulder.

"Look, the pink bubbles over there are so obvious."

Xiao Lin glanced at the boss and Boss Xiang, and continued to eat.

"I didn't see it, but you squeezed me."

"Hey, I'm taking the initiative to get close to you just to apologize to you."

Xiao Lin ate calmly and said,

"childish."

"You're childish."

"you."

"you."

Xiao Lin didn't want to play this stupid game, so he stuffed a spoonful of cake into Jiang Wen's mouth.

"Block it."

Jiang Wen was being naughty, she opened her mouth and pretended to attack Xiao Lin's cake.

"It would take a whole cake to block it, ah~"

Xiaolin was amused by Jiang Wen and laughed out loud. She stretched her hand holding the cake as far back as possible. Jiang Wen pretended to get up to grab it, but Xiaolin blocked it with her other hand. Jiang Wen smiled and hugged her.

On the second and third day, Xiao Zecheng ordered different afternoon teas to be sent to Li Yin's company, in the name of Wang Yong and Jiang Wen, but one flavor was specially marked for Li Yin.

Xiang Siyuan knew all these, but how did he know them?

This brings us to the civet cat in the melon field—Su Xiaorong.

She didn't know Xiao Zecheng, but she knew Xiang Siyuan better.

Before, Xiang Siyuan had been very supportive of their studio's work and was very enthusiastic about sending Sister Yin to the hospital. In addition, no one had ever heard of any scandals about him. He was handsome and rich, and most importantly, he was interested in their Sister Yin.

So Su Xiaorong flipped through her WeChat list and found the WeChat of Assistant Zhang whom she had added for the purpose of ordering food. After a few polite words, she told him about what had happened in the past two days.

If Zhang Hua knew about it, then Xiang Siyuan would know about it too.

"Zhang Hua, did Mr. Xiao from Chengye Medical come to see you again?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang. They contacted me last week, hoping that you could make additional investments. I followed your instructions and pushed the offer, assuming that you would reconsider it."

Xiang Siyuan placed one hand on the desk, bent his fingers and tapped twice.

"Give him a call and book a seat in the next two days so I can meet him and have a chat."

"Okay, Mr. Xiang."
