Chapter 584: Chapter 577: Saving a Seat

Wu Chengzu’s arrival caused quite a stir in the private room, and the female colleagues became excited, their eyes fixed intently on Wu Chengzu. The male colleagues, on the other hand, were somewhat displeased; after finally having an opportunity to interact with the company girls, Wu Chengzu suddenly appeared. Now, all the girls were watching him, leaving these bachelors in the company without any chance again.

At the moment she saw Wu Chengzu, Bai Yiran tightened her grip on the chopsticks and kept telling herself to stay calm, to stay calm!

In fact, she indeed appeared very calm on the surface, so calm that her entire face showed no excessive expression.

Brother Zhou nudged Bai Yiran with his elbow and teased, "After all, she’s been married and had kids, not like those silly girls!"

Bai Yiran glanced sideways at Brother Zhou, "How am I different?"

"More composed and poised, not easily swayed by appearances!"

Naturally, Brother Zhou was joking, but Bai Yiran took it to heart.

"Sorry to interrupt everyone." Wu Chengzu walked in gracefully, his lively eyes sweeping around the room and finally landing on Bai Yiran.

Yao Zhiqing stood up with a smile, "Just now Yiran and the others were saying they met President Wu outside, and I was wondering which President Wu it was, didn’t expect it to be you!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Wu Chengzu’s deep eyes looked at Bai Yiran, making her somewhat uncomfortable.

Seemingly sensing Bai Yiran’s discomfort, Wu Chengzu withdrew his gaze and looked at Yao Zhiqing, "I just scheduled a meal here with a friend, but the friend left due to an issue, and I didn’t get to eat."

What Wu Chengzu meant was clear, he didn’t get to eat and wanted to join them, were they welcoming of that?

Yao Zhiqing’s eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "If President Wu doesn’t mind, sit down and join us!"

"I don’t mind."

Of course, Wu Chengzu didn’t mind; this was his intention in coming.

There were a few empty seats in the private room, and the female colleagues all displayed hopeful eyes, wishing Wu Chengzu would sit beside them.

However, after a quick glance around, Wu Chengzu walked over and sat next to Bai Yiran.

To Bai Yiran’s left was Brother Zhou, and to her right, there had been someone, but they were likely in the bathroom now.

"Sorry, Mr. Wu, this seat is taken." Bai Yiran said.

In fact, even without Bai Yiran saying, Wu Chengzu knew the seat was taken; the used utensils, cup, and the phone placed on the table all told him that someone had been there.

Nevertheless, even so, Wu Chengzu still sat there and called a waiter over to bring him a new set of utensils.

At this time, the person who had been sitting next to Bai Yiran returned, paused slightly upon seeing Wu Chengzu, and stood there somewhat at a loss.

"Sorry for taking your spot. It’s just that Yiran and I are friends and I wanted to sit and chat with her."

Wu Chengzu’s words were clear; who would offend him over a seat? That person could only take their belongings and find another spot randomly.

Brother Zhou was displeased with Wu Chengzu’s strong actions of sitting next to Bai Yiran, his eyes tightly fixed on Wu Chengzu, worried that he might act inappropriately toward Bai Yiran.

Wu Chengzu was unbothered by Brother Zhou’s watchful gaze and casually picked a piece of beef tongue for Bai Yiran, "I heard from Jingjing that you two have been chatting on WeChat a lot lately?"

Bai Yiran was taken aback, unsure if Wu Chengzu was probing her or just speaking casually, so she could only use the excuse she had prepared before, "Maybe it’s because I’ve had a child, I’m now more susceptible to kids, especially like Jingjing, who lacks maternal love."

After speaking, Bai Yiran lowered her head to eat the tender beef tongue, her peripheral vision subtly observing Wu Chengzu’s reaction.

The man’s gaze flickered, but the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a smile.

Does this mean he believes her words?
