Chapter 32 The Handsome Man

The waiter led Shen Manting and Qin Yueshu to a private room for more than 20 people. They had just ordered their meals when their colleagues arrived one after another.

Since Shen Manting was the youngest, most of them treated her like a younger sister. A few of the older seniors took the lead and said, “Manting, this is our wedding gift to you. Although it’s a small gift, it’s our sincerity. Hope you don’t mind it.”

“Thank you for the gift. ” Shen Manting didn’t expect that they would bring gifts.

As for Qi Jingwan and Ding Rou, they were the last to arrive. When they saw the gifts beside Shen Manting, they looked displeased. Qi Jingwan said, “Ding Rou, we didn’t bring any gifts. Should we go buy them now?” Ding Rou glanced at the gift box beside Shen Manting and said sourly, “I don’t think Dr. Shen is the kind of person who would care about such trivial stuff.”

“Qi Jingwan, Ding Rou!” Shen Manting glared at the two of them coldly and was about to call for someone to drive them away.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Ah Qiang, who was the most senior among them, spoke up in time. “Since you’re here, just settle down. Manting doesn’t care about gifts.”

“Yeah, Ah Qiang is right. Ding Rou, let’s sit down. “As Qi Jingwan spoke, she scanned the room again. As expected, Xue Chenkong was nowhere to be seen. She was instantly pleased with herself. Knowing that it was impossible for Xue Chenkong to appear at such an occasion, she pulled Ding Rou to sit down and waited for a good show.

The director couldn’t make it at the last minute. As the eldest, Ah Qiang was the first to speak. “Manting, is your husband not here?

Shen Manting glanced at the time. It was already the evening peak hour. “I think there’s a traffic jam. He’ll be here in a minute.

At that moment, another colleague suddenly exclaimed, “Manting, I just realized that you’ve booked the entire Grand Universe Hotel. There’s no one else other than us. Oh my god, how much would this cost?”.

“Booked the entire place? It’s at least eight figures, right?” “Pfft!” Ding Rou had just taken a sip of tea, but because of the price, she spat it out.

Qi Jingwan happened to be sitting next to her, and all of it sprayed on her. Her face instantly stiffened. “What are you doing?!” “I’m sorry… ” Ding Rou’s expression didn’t look too good from having lost her composure in front of so many people. But it couldn’t be helped. At least eight figures? That was money that she would never be able to earn in her lifetime! However, for Shen Manting, it was just a meal? She bit her lip and looked at Shen Manting with jealousy and unwillingness. They were both women, and they both had parents. Why was there such a big difference? She had worked hard and scrimped day and night to barely gain a foothold in the capital, but Shen Manting had reached a peak that many people could never reach in their entire lives! Life was surely unfair!

Qi Jingwan couldn’t care less about that. Having waited impatiently for a long time, she targeted Shen Manting. “Manting, we grew up together. How could I not know Xue Chenkong’s situation? He wouldn’t even appear at such an occasion, so why didn’t you just say that he wouldn’t be able to make it? Why did you even say that there was a traffic jam? How did I not realize that you care so much about your face?”

At that moment, Shen Manting’s cell phone suddenly rang. She looked down at it and smiled without even realizing it. Picking up the phone, she asked, “Chenkong, where are

you?”

“Ah Ting, I’m downstairs. Can you come and pick me up?” Xue Chenkong’s voice was deep and mellow.

“Okay, wait for me, “Shen Manting said, her heart filled with joy. Then, she stood up and said to the crowd, “Chenkong is here. I’ll go down to pick him up.”

However, when Shen Manting stood up, Qi Jingwan immediately uttered impatiently, “We’ve all worked together for so long, but I’m sure none of us have never seen the famous third son of the Xue family. Let’s go down and take a look. “How could a person with severe autism handle such a situation? She was going to make Shen Manting lose all her face that day.

Everyone looked at each other. In the end, they couldn’t hold back their curiosity and followed Shen Manting out.

Outside the hall on the first floor, a tall man was leaning against a black Rolls-Royce with a bouquet of roses in his hand.

Shen Manting saw him at first glance. When the man saw Shen Manting come out, his empty eyes instantly lit up. He strode toward Shen Manting and said, “Ah Ting, this is for you.” After handing the flowers to Shen Manting, embarrassment flashed across his handsome face. “Ah Ting, will I embarrass you by dressing like this?” he asked.

Upon hearing that, Shen Manting finally noticed that Xue Chenkong was completely different from usual. He usually liked to wear loose-fitting home clothes, but that day, he deliberately wore a dark handmade suit, which made him look handsome and charming.
