Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 583 - 576: A Chance Encounter
The evening team-building event was arranged by Yao Zhiqing at a newly opened Japanese restaurant, which offered both à la carte and buffet options.
With so many people from the company, Yao Zhiqing naturally chose the buffet.
The sales department, being an important part of the company, was placed with Yao Zhiqing in a large teppanyaki room.
Bai Yiran used to love Japanese food, but ever since having a baby, her taste changed. Moreover, as she was still breastfeeding, she rarely ate anything raw or cold.
Luckily, the buffet offered a wide variety of food, so Bai Yiran had nothing to worry about in terms of finding something to eat.
Yet, her mind was constantly on Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang, concerned that Sister Liu might struggle to tend to the two little ones alone at home. So, she picked up her phone and headed to the restroom to make a call.
Sister Liu answered quickly, assuring her that Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang were fine, having had their meal, with the brother playing with the sister. Hearing everything was normal at home, Bai Yiran felt relieved. She casually asked if Leng Yichen had come home, to which Sister Liu replied that he hadn’t.
Bai Yiran checked the time. She hadn’t heard of any engagements Leng Yichen had that evening, so why was he not home yet? Could he be working overtime?
A female colleague who had accompanied her to the restroom came out after finishing, "Still on the call?"
"Oh? It’s done!" Bai Yiran quickly wrapped up her call with Sister Liu and returned to the room with the female colleague.
The female colleague walked ahead, with Bai Yiran following behind. Suddenly, the colleague stopped, and Bai Yiran, looking down, almost bumped into her, "Why did you stop suddenly?"
The female colleague, visibly excited, pointed ahead and said, "Look at that person over there, isn’t that President Wu from the downstairs company?"
Looking in the direction her colleague was pointing, Bai Yiran indeed saw Wu Chengzu standing there, talking to someone. As if sensing someone watching, he looked their way.
The female colleague, nervously grabbing Bai Yiran’s hand, exclaimed, "Oh no, he’s looking over here!"
Evidently, Wu Chengzu hadn’t expected to see Bai Yiran here and, slightly surprised, nodded a greeting at her.
Bai Yiran nodded back, exchanging glances with him.
The female colleague, however, exaggeratedly waved at Wu Chengzu and called out excitedly, "President Wu!"
Wu Chengzu responded to the colleague’s enthusiasm with a gracious smile, causing the colleague to be all fluttery.
Bai Yiran turned her head, a glint of coldness in her eyes. Was this the same deceitful smile that had fooled Cheng Shishi?
Ridiculous enough, she herself had been deceived by that hypocritical man!
"Let’s go, don’t embarrass ourselves here!" Bai Yiran pulled the colleague back toward the room.
The colleague, though reluctant, followed Bai Yiran back to the room but began to complain as soon as they walked in, "Boss! How could you not greet President Wu when running into him by chance, and why leave in such a hurry! Granted, you have a great husband, but I’m still single!"
From the moment she saw Wu Chengzu, Bai Yiran’s mind had been unsettled. Heaven knows how much she had to restrain herself from rushing up to him.
"Then go back yourself!" Bai Yiran responded irritably.
Seeing Bai Yiran was in a bad mood, the colleague quietly stopped talking and focused on eating.
Watching the exchange between Bai Yiran and the colleague, Yao Zhiqing curiously asked, "What were you talking about? Who did you see just now?"
Just as Yao Zhiqing finished speaking, the door to the room was opened from outside, and there stood Wu Chengzu, smiling warmly at the entrance.
"Sorry to interrupt!"
