Soon after autumn, the annual "Chengya Foundation Charity Reception" came as scheduled.

This reception was initially organized by the business giant Chengya Group, and now it has become a prosperous business world. Although it is called a charity reception, it has actually become an important place for political and business celebrities to expand their network. In the name of charity, it can avoid A lot of unnecessary trouble.

Ye Tang was invited by Qin Yan to attend the reception. The relationship between the two of them has been quickly catalyzed by Qin Yan. Qin Yan generously introduced Ye Tang to the business partners present, and seemed to enjoy Ye Tang's love. Tang's company.

Ye Tang watched Qin Yan roaming freely in the reception, and found that many people came up to chat on their own initiative. Qin Yan had a lot of contacts and seemed to be the focus of the party.On such an occasion, no one would recognize Ye Tang, so he was quite at ease, and he had already had a few glasses of champagne in a short while.

"Have some snacks over there, don't drink too much on an empty stomach, your stomach is not very good." Qin Yan instructed, while dealing with the social scene, he also paid close attention to Ye Tang's every move.

Ye Tang nodded with a smile, and headed for dim sum.When he came to the dim sum counter, Ye Tang took another glass of cocktail from the waiter's tray and drank it with gusto.

"Xiaotang?" someone called out.

Ye Tang turned around and saw Li Yang standing behind him, followed by his secretary.

Thinking of meeting Li Yang on such an occasion, Ye Tang greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Li."

Li Yang patted Ye Tang on the shoulder, "Xiao Li said he saw you, I thought he was wrong, how are you doing?"

Ye Tang chatted with Li Yang about his recent life and work, and also cared about Li Yang's recent physical condition. Li Yang's heart has not been very good. Recently, the doctor suggested that he take a period of time to be hospitalized for a comprehensive check-up.

Li Yang also asked about Aunt Qin and Ye Feng's living conditions. In fact, Aunt Qin had brought Ye Feng back to Aunt Qin's hometown in Hubei to settle down. The stage of big sales is still to come.Li Yang said that if you have any difficulties, you can speak up, but Ye Tang feels that you don't want to trouble Li Yang with everything. For the Ye family, Li Yang has fulfilled his responsibility by doing this step.

Li Yang said: "Ming Chuan is here too. He said he just arrived. He is with your Auntie Teng's daughter Xuanxuan. Do you remember Xuanxuan? The little sister who is a few years younger than you often played with you when you were young."

Ye Tang remembered that there really was such a little girl, who used to follow Li Mingchuan's buttocks with her snot all day long. Li Mingchuan always called her a follower, and she would make people cry every now and then, and then collapsed on the ground with a very disfigured smile. On the ground, it is a typical example of building happiness on the pain of others.

Just as Ye Tang was about to ask about Tang Xuanxuan's situation, it happened that someone came to greet Li Yang, so he withdrew with an excuse.

Sure enough, before he took a few steps, he met Li Mingchuan entering the venue with his girlfriend.

Li Mingchuan was dressed in a neat suit, looking like a handsome young man from a rich family. He walked like he was following the light, and he attracted a lot of attention as soon as he arrived. Next to him was the Tang Xuanxuan whom Li Yang had just mentioned. The girl was dressed in a suit In a white slim-fitting short dress, she was already slim and elegant, and she walked with Li Mingchuan on her arm, showing the beautiful demeanor of a daughter of an aristocratic family in her gestures.It's just that this reception is not a fan meeting after all, everyone's eyes only stayed on Li Mingchuan for a while, and it didn't cause any sensation.

Ye Tang looked across the crowd and thought, how could this girl still be that snot-packed follower back then?This also gave up the idea of ​​looking for Tang Xuanxuan to catch up on the old days.

The Tang family and the Li family are both prominent families in the capital. Although Ye Tang played with children like Li Mingchuan and Tang Xuanxuan when he was a child, Ye Shuhai's warning words were still in his ears. He knew that although the Li family treated him well and let him live in that room Being in a big house and going to expensive private schools does not mean that he has transformed himself into a real dragon and phoenix. To put it bluntly, he is not from the same class as these people at all.Now that everyone has grown up and belongs to each other, they have nothing in common, and there will not be too many intersections. Just like him and Li Mingchuan now have no such flesh-and-blood relationship, I am afraid that it is inevitable that they will end up as strangers in the end.

Ye Tang sized up the couple from a distance with appreciation, and felt that Li Yang and his wife were quite discerning.He remembered that a few months ago, during the Spring Festival, Li's mother mentioned that she wanted to match Li Mingchuan and Tang Xuanxuan. In progress.

Ye Tang decided not to disturb the couple's time, and walked towards the restroom on the side of the venue under the cover of the crowd.

He went into the bathroom, washed his hands symbolically with cold water, and looked at himself in the mirror with doubts in his eyes.It seemed that every time he saw Li Mingchuan, he would have different companions by his side. Whether it was Tong Xiao and Jiang Yan at the beginning, Liao Zhan and He Yang later, or Tang Xuanxuan now, each of them was outstanding, and even There are other partners that he knows and does not know, who will Li Mingchuan hold hands in the end and who will he choose?

However, no matter who that person chooses, it has nothing to do with him.Ye Tang smiled self-deprecatingly at the man in the mirror, feeling that he was too lenient.

Ye Tang came out of the bathroom and searched for Qin Yan in the crowd. He wanted to leave early, but it was better to say hello to Qin Yan.

"Ye Tang."

Ye Tang stopped in his tracks. The entire venue was filled with the sound of music, conversation, and various noises, but Ye Tang clearly heard that call that was not too loud.It seems that his eardrum has a special recognition function for that sound, which can eliminate all noise and receive this unique band.

Ye Tang turned around and put on a moderate smile, "Mingchuan, Xuanxuan."

Standing beside Li Mingchuan, Tang Xuanxuan kept her chin at an arrogant angle. She nodded to Ye Tang in a well-bred way, as a greeting, and she didn't intend to chat any more.

Ye Tang could see that the eldest lady seemed to be in a bad mood, so she consciously found an excuse to leave.

But Li Mingchuan stopped him and asked, "Ye Tang, do you have time to chat?"

Just as Ye Tang thought it was strange that Li Mingchuan took the initiative to chat with him, Qin Yan happened to come over at this time, stood beside Ye Tang, and handed him a glass of milk.

"Did you drink secretly again just now? I saw it all." Qin Yan reproached almost pamperingly.

This tone made Li Mingchuan frowned, and his eyes fell on Qin Yan.

Ye Tang took the milk from Qin Yan's hand, smiled apologetically, and then introduced to Qin Yan: "Qin Yan, this is the daughter of Mr. Lin of Tang Yi Group, and Tang Xuanxuan, this is Li Mingchuan." The other party introduced: "This is my friend, Qin Yan."

After a few people greeted each other briefly, Qin Yan said, "I might have to borrow Ye Tang, sorry."

After finishing speaking, he led Ye Tang away.

Qin Yan took Ye Tang out of the venue and came to a terrace.

Under the terrace is a large night view of the garden, which is exquisite under the artistic lighting. The evening breeze is gentle, and it is very comfortable to blow on people's skin. The night is clear, and the stars gather together like a vast galaxy, which is too beautiful to behold.

Qin Yan pulled Ye Tang to stand in the middle of the terrace, but didn't say anything. Ye Tang looked around curiously, and then looked at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan glanced at his watch and counted down softly: "Three, two, one—"

As soon as Qin Yan's voice fell, the fountain in the middle of the garden suddenly started, and it flew into the sky, and all the light beams around the fountain lit up, changing the light and shadow with the change of the water curtain, high and low, flying all over the sky, and it was so beautiful for a while marvel.

Ye Tang was a little confused about what he saw, but seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him, he couldn't help admiring it, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Seeing Ye Tang's peaceful smile, Qin Yan felt that there was no more beautiful and pleasant picture in the world than before his eyes.

He gently wrapped one hand around Ye Tang's waist, making him look at him, and slowly raised the other hand, gently twisting Ye Tang's chin.

Every movement he made was extremely slow, as if he didn't want to scare the other party, but also seemed to give the other party enough time to reject him, and thoughtfully left room for Ye Tang.

However, Ye Tang didn't push him away, Qin Yan seemed to be encouraged, before he took a step closer, he asked softly: "Ye Tang, can I?"

Ye Tang's eyes were occupied by Qin Yan's resolute face, he could clearly feel the touch of Qin Yan's hand on his waist, and the warmth of Qin Yan's fingertips on his cheek, he could see that Qin Yan didn't want to Offended himself, but also saw an unconcealable look of longing in the other party's eyes.

He actually thought of Li Mingchuan at this moment, remembering that when that guy asked for a kiss, he never asked his opinion, anytime, anywhere, whenever he wanted to, and when he met Qin Yan's "courteous treatment", he would instead Not used to it.

The feeling at this moment was very strange. He felt as if his soul had floated out of his body. He was floating in the sky and watched this intimate contact with Qin Yan. He could even clearly analyze what kind of decision he should make at this moment. is correct.

When Qin Yan touched his body, he didn't seem to feel repelled, so this should be regarded as a kind of acceptance, right?But at the same time, he was so clear that he didn't like Qin Yan to the point of liking him, at best he had a good impression of him. Would it be too early to break the boundary like this?Then he thought, maybe accepting Qin Yan is the most sensible choice, who said that starting a new relationship is the fastest way to get out of the past.

He really needs to get out of the past, he wants to get rid of Li Mingchuan's erosion of him for more than ten years.

Of course, all of this happened in a very short moment. To outsiders, he just seemed stunned and didn't move.

When Qin Yan kissed him, Ye Tang still didn't move, he didn't dodge, and he didn't push Qin Yan away, he almost let his lips be pried open by Qin Yan, and his breath was taken away.

In the venue separated from them by a window, the keynote speaker had already started to give a speech. Everyone present looked towards the stage. No one noticed that there were two men kissing on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Qin Yan's kiss went from shallow to deep. He tested Ye Tang's reaction, and when he found that Ye Tang didn't resist, he gradually deepened the kiss.

This kiss was extremely long and passionate, so that in the end, even Qin Yan, who was self-conscious and self-controlled, felt like he was out of control. There was a special refreshing aura about Ye Tang, which made her unable to stop, as if Just kissing wasn't enough anymore, every cell in his body was clamoring for something more.

However, Qin Yan still restrained himself in the end. He was overjoyed at the little progress he had just made from Ye Tang. He then put his hand into Ye Tang's hair and asked, "Ye Tang, I like you. Be my friend." How is your lover?"

With a crisp "pop", a crystal goblet fell to the ground and cracked.

Li Mingchuan stood at the entrance of the terrace, and the broken goblet fell at his feet. He looked at Ye Tang and Qin Yan in shock, and asked, "What are you doing?"
