What relationship?

Jiang Feng listened to Zhang Qinyao's words, frowning slightly. Could she have figured it out?

But then, Zhang Qinyao forced a relaxed smile and said, "I just feel that the way you look at Qingcheng is different from how you look at the rest of us. Do you like her?"

So that's it, she was just guessing.

"No, you're overthinking it."

Jiang Feng said and then walked out.

Zhang Qinyao stood there dazed, was she really overthinking?

She smiled bitterly, feeling a sense of loss in her heart.

...

In the afternoon, after a brief lunch break, all the business tycoons gathered once more in the large conference room on the 6th floor for the second meeting.

However, Dongfang Hui did not attend. He was in his room, patiently listening to Pan Sheng's report.

"Young Master Hui, that's how it is. According to the information I gathered, Chairman Dongfang seemed to have pursued that Qin Luoyi for a long time, but Qin Luoyi didn't choose to follow him. Instead, she returned to Binhai, married our local Underworld big shot Chu Renxiong, and then gave birth to a daughter, Chu Feifei..."

Pan Sheng himself was shocked when he uncovered this sealed truth; Dongfang Yu was actually involved in a love triangle with the deceased Chu Renxiong!

"No wonder!" Dongfang Hui sneered. He finally understood why his father lost his composure upon seeing Chu Feifei!

"Young Master Hui, this matter is also considered part of Chairman Dongfang's romantic past. Do you want to report this to Mrs. Qi? After all..."

"Impertinent!" Dongfang Hui shouted angrily, "When did our family's matters become your affair to meddle with? Are you trying to make our family restless all over?"

"I don't dare! Young Master Hui, I meant..." Pan Sheng said in panic.

"In the future, just do what I ask you to do, and if I don't ask you, don't interfere, understand?" Dongfang Hui said coldly.

"Yes, yes..." Pan Sheng replied hurriedly, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Get lost, carry on with the original plan! Do not reveal the matter about Chu Feifei to outsiders, and bear with Jiang Feng for now. We'll deal with him after the ship lands tomorrow!"

"Understood!" Pan Sheng quickly left.

Dongfang Hui sat alone on the sofa, his expression extremely cold and complex.

Jiang Feng, Chu Feifei—new developments were emerging here, seemingly becoming more and more troublesome.

...

After the afternoon meeting finished, it was already 4:30.

Nangong Qingcheng, Zhang Qinyao, and Liu Shiyuan stayed on site to consult with several experts and only returned to their room when it was almost dark.

Nangong Qingcheng was just about to take a break when she heard a knock on the door, thinking Jiang Feng had come by.

She ran excitedly to the door with bare feet, only to find Pan Sheng standing outside.

At this moment, Pan Sheng was accompanied by a few attendants, holding a uniquely crafted gift in his hands.

"Manager Nangong, Young Master Hui knows you all came in a hurry and didn't prepare evening gowns. However, it's best to wear formal attire for the ball later, so he asked me to carefully select a few pieces to deliver to you. This piece is especially for you."

Nangong Qingcheng was truly surprised; she didn't expect Dongfang Hui to be so thoughtful, considering even the evening dress.

Although she now knew Dongfang Yu might be involved in the murder of Chu Feifei's mother, it didn't seem related to Dongfang Hui, who remained as courteous and considerate as ever.

"Thank you, Young Master Dongfang, but how can I accept such a gift?"

Nangong Qingcheng noticed the dress was very expensive and wanted to politely decline.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Why be polite with Young Master Hui? Young Master Hui is the most courteous person, unlike some others who can throw people off the deck into the sea in public."

Pan Sheng said with implication, "It's only because Chairman Dongfang and Young Master Hui are generous that they don't bother arguing with him. Otherwise, this cruise gala would certainly have become a real joke."

Nangong Qingcheng knew he was referring to Jiang Feng, feeling somewhat embarrassed and unsure how to defend Jiang Feng.

"Manager Nangong, you're beautiful and capable. Someone like Jiang Feng doesn't deserve you at all, don't you think?" Pan Sheng suddenly said with a smile.

Nangong Qingcheng was taken aback by his words.

Did he know her true relationship with Jiang Feng?

Pan Sheng didn't reveal any more, giving a playful smile, "Alright, I was just saying. Go ahead and try on the dress."

Then, he forcibly placed the dress into Nangong Qingcheng's hands and turned to leave.

Nangong Qingcheng looked at the gift box in her hands, unable to describe the complicated feelings in her heart.

...

Afterward, Pan Sheng continued to knock on the doors of Chu Feifei, Bai Zhiqing, and Mu Yanluo, delivering the dresses to them.

This made each of the women surprised, and they all thanked him.

Finally, he knocked on the room of Zhang Qinyao and Liu Shiyuan, but Zhang Qinyao was in the shower, so Liu Shiyuan answered the door alone.

Seeing Pan Sheng outside, Liu Shiyuan was startled, her small face suddenly becoming tense, "What are you doing here?"

"Don't be scared, I won't eat you."

Pan Sheng chuckled and handed the last two boxes of dresses to Liu Shiyuan, "These are specially prepared for you and Zhang Qinyao. Yours was personally chosen by me. Wear it to the deck later, so I can admire it."

As he looked at Liu Shiyuan, who was right in front of him, his eyes were full of intense greed!

The more he couldn't obtain something, the more it stirred his desires!

After Jiang Feng ruined his plans, he had searched for replacements for Liu Shiyuan multiple times, but none compared to Liu Shiyuan's innate purity and flawless whiteness.

And now he also knew that the Dongfang father and son would not be lenient with Jiang Feng; once Jiang Feng disappeared from the world, it would be his turn to pursue Liu Shiyuan again!

"I don't need it, thank you!"

Liu Shiyuan instinctively refused, then tried to close the door!

"Hold on!"

Pan Sheng extended a foot, firmly blocking the door, and said with a cold smile, "Liu Shiyuan, don't tell me you've also fallen for Jiang Feng? Let me tell you, there's no way between you and him. Jiang Feng doesn't like you, nor is he interested in you. It's best you recognize the truth!"

Liu Shiyuan blushed at his words and said, "Who I like is my business, none of your concern!"

She knew what Pan Sheng said was true, but she honestly hadn't hoped for anything more. Just being able to quietly like Jiang Feng was enough.

"Liu Shiyuan, you better don't eat humble pie when served fine wine! I'm telling you, Jiang Feng can protect you for a while but not forever! You will eventually be mine; proactively embracing me soon would be wise, otherwise, if you force me to resort to any means necessary to get you, you'll become worthless!"

"Get out, get out!"

Even if Liu Shiyuan had thin skin, Pan Sheng's obscene words disgusted her, and she pushed his chest with her small hands to drive him out.

At that moment, Pan Sheng suddenly grabbed Liu Shiyuan's hand and audaciously licked it with his tongue, saying with a smile, "Sweet, indeed the taste I like!"

Liu Shiyuan was startled, hurriedly pulling her hand back, glaring at Pan Sheng with a mix of shame and anger like a startled fawn!

"See you tonight, my little beauty!"

Pan Sheng laughed heartily, shoving the dress into Liu Shiyuan's arms before departing in laughter.

Liu Shiyuan stood alone, tears welling up in her eyes!
