n felt the seconds stretch into years. Through the reflective surface of the wall in front of her, she saw Fu Hanlin standing behind her, his head bowed as he looked at his phone messages, as if her w...Fu Yan stared at the bright red rose before her, lost in thought for a moment.

I probably didn't expect Huo Mingzheng to have a day of giving flowers either.

During those two years they were together, Huo Mingzheng never sent her flowers. Instead, every time he returned from a business trip abroad, he would bring her gifts. But those things, she left in the apartment Huo Mingzheng had bought for her, and didn't take them with her.

Fu Yan put the rose aside and looked at the card in her hand, or rather, stared at a single word on it. After a long while, she opened a drawer and placed the card in a corner.

She looked up at Xiaoxi who was still standing by her desk and asked, "Is there anything else, Xiaoxi"

Xiao Xi shook her head, pushed up her glasses with her fingers, turned around and left, closing the office door behind her.

As everyone else reveled in the success of the bid, Xiao Xi quietly slipped away to the tea room. After a moment, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

In a little while, the other party picked up.

"Hello, Mr. Huo"

......

The department manager was seeking everyone's opinions in the group chat about how to celebrate. They were trying to decide between a bar or a hot spring resort, saying that the company had given a generous budget for this occasion.

The group chat suddenly refreshed with several replies, and the atmosphere became lively.

If you have hot spring resorts, what else do you need bicycles for

The bar was lively, but the hot springs resort just felt like a bath. It wasn't very interesting.

Hot springs! After soaking, everyone can play games and drink together. How interesting.

A minority obeys the majority, I'm voting for the hot spring resort.

Someone @ her: "Manager Fu, you are the number one hero. Where do you want to go"

The pressure is on you here.

Fu Yan looked at the messages in the group. Today was Friday, and tomorrow was the weekend. A hot spring hotel was definitely more suitable for relaxing than a bar or club; a soak would help dispel the fatigue brought on by work.

She quickly typed a line on the keyboard: "Hot spring resort, here we come!"

Everyone in the group was talking, but Cao Man didn't send any messages.

After work in the evening, several colleagues with cars took a few people each. Fu Yan's co-pilot sat Xiao Xi and another female employee from the project department.

Just as Fu Yan was about to start the car, someone suddenly knocked on her car window.

It is Cao Man.

She wore a mask, hiding her facial expression. Despite the distance of the car window, one could still sense the gloom emanating from her.

Fu Yan looked at her meaningfully, rolled down the car window, and Cao Man said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't drive today."

Her legs ached so badly with every step she took. She barely managed to close her legs yesterday morning when she woke up, and couldn't even drive.

"Get in the car." Fu Yan unlocked the center console lock, and Cao Man pulled open the car door and got into the back seat.

But because of Cao Man's arrival, the three people who were originally chatting and laughing awkwardly paid for the music.

It's not that they bullied Cao Man, it's just that she didn't really fit in with the rest of them.

This is just like a college dorm room, there's always that one roommate who doesn't fit in.

There's only one hot spring resort in Nancheng. Fu Yan once went there to track Shen Wei, and ended up seeing something eye-watering. Unexpectedly, half a year later, she found herself back at the resort.

The car stopped, and Fu Yan returned to say to everyone, "You guys get out first, I'll go park the car."

"Okay."

Xiaoxi and another colleague pushed open the car door, but Caoman remained seated.Yao back.Master Fu personally sent Fu Yan onto the carriage at the front door, and they exchanged contact information, inviting Fu Yan to visit his home anytime. He also made her a white-steamed chic...
