"No, no, ha, ha. Stop! Ha, ha..." Liang Zixuan wanted to retract her feet, but she couldn't. She could only blink her watery eyes and beg Han Yuanjun, "Sleep on the bed! I'll let you sleep on the bed!"

Han Yuanjun smiled and pulled the cover over them.

At the end of the year, every company would host dinners of all sizes.

Han Group Media was no exception, and every department meeting was held in full swing.

The top echelon of the company will hold a Gala, inviting shareholders, managers, and above.

Zhu Sheng was also invited.

Each person invited can bring their family or spouse. Some of those who were unmarried will choose subordinates who were able to go with them.

Zhu Sheng had always brought Shi Tianjian in the past, but he's in a bit of a dilemma this year.

Liang Zixuan was in a relationship with Han Yuanjun, but their relationship was not announced in public. Not many people in the company knew about it, so Zhu Sheng felt that Han Yuanjun would not let her attend this high-level party as his relative.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to fawn over Han Yuanjun. This year, he would bring Liang Zixuan along in the name of the department.

Liang Zixuan was called to the office by Zhu Sheng alone and she was told about this. When she walked out of Zhu Sheng's office, she was stopped by Shi Tianjian.

"Liang Zixuan, is Director Zhu going to bring you to the company's Gala this year?" With an ashen face, Shi Tianjian questioned Liang Zixuan.

Liang Zixuan was slightly taken aback. She had a nagging feeling that Shi Tianjian had been full of hostility towards her since some time ago.

But where did this hostility come from?

Liang Zixuan leaned against a nearby wall. Her eyes were like scanners as they sized up Shi Tianjian from top to bottom.

Shi Tianjian felt very uncomfortable under Liang Zixuan's gaze. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Y...You... Why do you look at me like that?"

"Sister Tianjian," Liang Zixuan tilted her head and asked, "Have I ever offended you before? Why do I think you are so hostile to me now?"

"No!" Shi Tianjian was stubborn and refused to admit it even though she was beaten to death. She argued, "I just want to tell you, at the end of the year, those who are invited always bring family members or others. If Director Zhu ... He...He wants to bring you, so...Do you guys perhaps…"

"Is there something wrong with us?" Liang Zixuan feigned ignorance and purposely didn't understand what Shi Tianjian meant.

Shi Tianjian was anxious and bit her lip hard. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is Director Zhu interested in you? Is he chasing after you?"

"Puff ..." Liang Zixuan laughed out loud while holding the wall with both her hands. She was laughing non-stop.

Shi Tianjian was so upset that she stomped her foot and hit Liang Zixuan with her hand. "What are you laughing at?! Tell me, is it true or not?"

Liang Zixuan was wondering why Shi Tianjian looked for trouble with her for no reason since Shi Tianjian wasn't that kind of person.

So it turned out that this woman liked Zhu Sheng, but she didn't dare say it out loud.  Shi Tianjian's face was getting redder as if she could get angry at any moment.

Liang Zixuan wiped the tears from her eyes and patted Shi Tianjian's shoulder. "Sister Tianjian, since you like him, you should tell him. If you don't, how can he know that you like him?"

Shi Tianjian was so scared that everyone would hear about it, so she immediately raised her hand to cover Liang Zixuan's mouth. She looked to the side with a lingering fear in her heart, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she sighed with relief. "Keep your voice down, and don't let others hear you. "

Liang Zixuan opened the bag, took out the invitation card from inside, and placed it in Shi Tianjian's hand. "I feel better if you go with Director Zhu. I won't bother you guys."

Shi Tianjian looked at the red and gold invitation card in her hand and felt a little hopeless. It seemed that Zhu Sheng really liked Liang Zixuan.

If not, why did he take Liang Zixuan with him this year? He always took Shi Tianjian to this Gala.

Shi Tianjian sighed and dejectedly returned the invitation to Liang Zixuan. "Forget it, Director Zhu wants you to go. Why would you give it to me?!"

"It's fine." Liang Zixuan smiled indifferently. "I can go too. Have you forgotten about my relationship with Qin Yu? Someone will send it to me later. You can go with Director Zhu on behalf of the department."

"Really?" Shi Tianjian was very excited and quickly stuffed the invitation card into her bag. Just as she was about to walk to her desk, she suddenly stopped and looked at Liang Zixuan. "Tell me the truth, is Director Zhu chasing you? Or ... Are you two already together?"

"Nope." Liang Zixuan shook her head innocently. "Director Zhu just took care of me because he saw I have a good relationship with Qin Yu. Don't worry, he's not interested in me."

"Cough, cough …" Behind them, a man interrupted their conversation with a light cough.

Liang Zixuan and Shi Tianjian looked in the same direction and saw Yao Xiu walking with invitation cards in his hand.

"Special Assistant Yao." They greeted Yao Xiu together politely.

Yao Xiu glanced at Shi Tianjian, then handed the invitation to Liang Zixuan casually. "The President said that since Liang Zixuan has contributed a lot to Qin Yu's success, this year he made an exception and invited her to join the company Gala under her name."

Liang Zixuan accepted the invitation with both hands. She thanked Yao Xiu first, then proudly showed the invitation in front of Shi Tianjian. "What did I say? I was telling the truth, right?"

Shi Tianjian smiled as she hugged Liang Zixuan lovingly and said, "Yes, yes. Your foresight is like that of a God. Then I'll thank you."

Liang Zixuan put the invitation card in her bag. Just as she took two steps forward, Yao Xiu suddenly followed her. She stopped and looked at him in surprise, "Is there something else?"

"Yes." Yao Xiu looked at the work area next door and pulled Liang Zixuan to a place where no one was around. He then issued another invitation card and gave her a silly smile.

Liang Zixuan was confused for a moment, unable to react.

"Didn't you already give me one? What are you giving me again?"

"Haha ..." Yao Xiu looked like a fool. He looked at Liang Zixuan and laughed, making her feel embarrassed.

Liang Zixuan felt her head hurt. "Special Assistant Yao, if there's anything you want to say, just say it. Why are you smiling at me like that? Laughing until my hair stands up straight."

Only then did Yao Xiu stammer out. "Uhm, so we can bring our families. But you know, I...I don't have a girlfriend yet."

Liang Zixuan crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Yao Xiu casually, and smiled, waiting to see what he would say.

Yao Xiu touched his nose in embarrassment and licked his lips before continuing, "About Zeng Zhelan, I don't think she's ever attended such a high-class party before, so ...I...I guess I want to take her with me so she can see the world?"

"Puff ..." Liang Zixuan laughed out loud again, "So you like Zhelan?"

Yao Xiu quickly shook his head. "No, I don't!"
