Li Shen's concert ticket was delivered to Wei Shao's desk early morning the next day.
After the regular morning meeting at the company, Wei Shao called Yu Wan to his office. Yu Wan thought he was going to assign her some work, but he handed her a package and said, "Hu Jiao sent this to you."
Yu Wan was surprised. Hu Jiao's wedding had already passed several months ago, and she had already given her a luxury brand gift before. "What is this?"
Wei Shao said, "It's the ticket for Li Shen's concert."
"..."
Why would the ticket for Li Shen's concert be sent to Mr. Wei's office?
"She said, as you have mentioned to her before, that you really like Li Shen, and she happened to have a ticket for Li Shen's concert, so she gave it to you."
"..."
Yu Wan still couldn't understand why Hu Jiao didn't just send it directly to her. "Thank you, Mr. Wei."
"The ticket wasn't given by me, so thank Ms. Hu," Wei Shao said, propping up his chin with one hand and looking up at her. "Do you still like Li Shen?"
"..."
Yu Wan had previously confessed to Wei Shao that she had been together with Li Shen before, hoping to end the topic there, but she didn't expect the topic to be approached from another angle. "I quite like his songs."
"That song 'Lily'?"
"..."
She took the ticket and smiled at Wei Shao. "Mr. Wei, if there's nothing else, I'll go out and work."
"Wait a minute." Wei Shao stopped her and looked at her. "Are you free next Wednesday? I'll treat you to dinner."
"Wednesday?"
"Yes, the seventh."
Yu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Having dinner should be okay, but why did Mr. Wei suddenly want to treat me to dinner?"
"With Tang Ping and Li Rui's wedding, you've been busy for so long. I happen to be free next Wednesday, so I want to treat you." Wei Shao said, "Don't work overtime that day. We'll leave together after work."
Yu Wan wanted to bury her face. Why did Wei Shao make it sound like she was a workaholic? "Overtime is not up to me."
Wei Shao laughed, "Anyway, let's set it for that day."
"Okay." When the boss invites you to dinner, you still have to show face. "Then, Mr. Wei, I'll go out first."
"Okay."
Yu Wan left Wei Shao's office with the package. When Zhao Xin saw her coming out, she came over curiously. "What did Mr. Wei secretly give you?"
Yu Wan rolled her eyes. "It's just a ticket for Li Shen's concert that Ms. Hu sent me, and it was sent to the boss."
When Zhao Xin heard that it was a ticket for Li Shen's concert, she got excited. "Ms. Hu gave it to you? Then it must be a good seat! Open it and take a look."
Under Zhao Xin's eager gaze, Yu Wan opened the package, took out the ticket from the envelope, and saw the words VIP Special Seat printed on it. It instantly caught people's attention.
"Damn! It's an internal ticket!" Zhao Xin exclaimed. "Why don't I have a client who would send me a ticket for Li Shen's concert!"
Yu Wan looked at the time and venue printed on the ticket and put it back, saying, "Didn't you manage to get a ticket?"
"I only got a ticket for the stands! The inner circle tickets were the most expensive and sold out first!" Zhao Xin complained, thinking about cursing Star Entertainment again.
"It's still good that you have a ticket. Check out Weibo and see those girls who couldn't get tickets. You'll feel much better," Yu Wan suggested.
Zhao Xin nodded in agreement and decided to do that later.
"Alright, I'll go back to the office now that you've seen the ticket," Yu Wan said as she walked back to her own office with the ticket.
Whose ticket was it? Miss Hu or Li Shen's?
Yu Wan: Miss Hu gave me a ticket for your concert. (⊙o⊙)
Li Shen: Yeah, I asked her to give it to you to keep it low-key.
Yu Wan: Oh... but why did she send it to Wei Shao? Did you ask her to do that too?
Li Shen: She sent it to Wei Shao?
Yu Wan: Yes, and he just asked me about it.
Yu Wan: He knows we used to be together, and he saw me getting into your car after my accident last time.
Li Shen: Was he there last time too?
Yu Wan: I found out later.
Li Shen: [smiling]
He had always thought that Wei Shao was not just an ordinary boss to Yu Wan. He had played a role in their breakup back then.
Li Shen: I need to rehearse now. We'll talk more tonight.
Yu Wan: Okay.
After Li Shen finished rehearsing, he directly ran over to Yu Wan's house with Lili. Star Entertainment had been holding auditions for a boy group lately, and Chi Lu's energy was mostly focused on that. Li Shen's only work right now was rehearsing for his concert, and she would only go and check on the progress every once in a while.
This undoubtedly created an opportunity for Li Shen's secret love affair, and he felt much more at ease going in and out of Yu Wan's house during this time.
In the dining room of Yu Wan's house, there was a framed picture, but it wasn't a photo of anyone nor was it a landscape painting. It was a page filled with characters that Li Shen had written several years ago about Yu Wan. She had previously mentioned wanting to buy a frame for it and now it was actually framed. Li Shen held his bowl and glanced at the frame before calmly looking away and saying, "Are you free on the 7th of this month?"
Yu Wan's hand with chopsticks paused for a moment, and she looked up at him. "The 7th again? Wei Shao asked me to have dinner with him on the 7th."
Li Shen furrowed his eyebrows slightly and asked her, "Did you agree?"
"En... if I don't have to work overtime that day."
"..."
Seeing that Li Shen didn't say anything, Yu Wan felt a little uneasy under his gaze and took the initiative to speak. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Li Shen said, "Do you know what day it is on the 7th?"
"...Just an ordinary workday?" Yu Wan replied.
"...It's the Qixi Festival," Li Shen said.
"Oh..." Yu Wan nodded slowly. "For me, it's just an ordinary workday."
Li Shen: "..."
She really had no sense of being in a relationship.
"Is it because we're both too busy that you keep forgetting that you have a boyfriend?"
Faced with Li Shen's questioning, Yu Wan was very surprised. "Do you have time to celebrate Qixi Festival? Do you have the day off?"
"...We can celebrate it together at night."
"We spend every night together already."
"Didn't you just promise to celebrate with another man?" Li Shen looked at her with a smirk. "Does Wei Shao like you?"
Yu Wan coughed twice from the food she was eating. She picked up her glass of water and drank a sip before saying to Li Shen, "I'll tell him I don't have time tomorrow. I really didn't know it was Qixi Festival."
Li Shen's lips twitched. He seemed to want to say something, but he held back. He also took a sip of water, which he purposely brewed to soothe his throat. "You should reject him properly."
"Okay, I got it."
After a while, Li Shen slowly said, "So, he does like you."
Yu Wan "..."
When she was taking a shower at night, Yu Wan kept thinking about how to handle her relationship with Wei Shao. She had known him for a few years, and they already had a good understanding of each other's work. They were also good friends outside of work. Now that this had happened, she felt a little awkward facing Wei Shao, and Li Shen obviously cared about this too.
The best solution was to create some distance between herself and Wei Shao, but as long as she was still working at Shao Hua, it was impossible to truly distance herself from him.
While she was pondering what to do in the future, Li Shen had already dug up Wei Shao's WeChat from the bottom of his contacts list. He added Wei Shao during Manager Guo's wedding, and he didn't expect that one day he would take the initiative to message him.
Li Shen: Hello, Mr. Wei. I am Li Shen.
Upon receiving Li Shen's message, Wei Shao was very surprised, but he seemed to vaguely know why he was being contacted.
Wei Shao: Hello.
Li Shen: I'm sorry to bother you so late. I just wanted to let you know that I have already made plans with Yu Wan for the Qixi Festival, so she may not be able to have dinner with you.
Wei Shao's eyes darkened. He had planned to meet with Yu Wan on Qixi Festival to talk about their relationship. How did Li Shen know about his plans with Yu Wan? Did Yu Wan tell him?
His fingers hovered over the keyboard as he tried to figure out how to respond to Li Shen in the best way possible, but Li Shen sent another message.
Li Shen: Yu Wan and I have gotten back together.
Wei Shao was stunned. He stared at the message for a while and then laughed at himself.
Wei Shao: I understand.
Li Shen closed WeChat and did not respond to Wei Shao, and Wei Shao did not send him another message. After Yu Wan finished her shower and came out, she saw Li Shen sitting on the bed lost in thought. She walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Shen looked up at Yu Wan in front of him and didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and hugged her.
Feeling suddenly embraced, Yu Wan felt a bit helpless. Li Shen had always enjoyed hugging her since they got back together.
Li Shen buried his head in the nape of Yu Wan's neck, lightly smelling the fragrance of her hair. He really wanted to tell everyone that Yu Wan was his, but he couldn't.
"Okay, I still need to look at the plans," Yu Wan said.
Li Shen finally lifted his head to look at her. "You're still looking at plans at this hour?"
"Yeah, I didn't have time during the day. One of the junior apprentices I brought in earlier is doing their first official plan, so I need to take a look," Yu Wan replied.
Li Shen frowned discontentedly. "Are the plans more good-looking than me?"
"Hahaha," Yu Wan laughed at his teasing, "Then I'll set my computer desktop to your picture, so I can look at both you and the plans."
Li Shen: "..."
Why did she want to look at his wallpaper when he was right here?
As Yu Wan sat next to him and looked at the plans, Li Shen sent her a GIF - I love working. Working makes me happy, working makes me rich. When my colleagues ask me to eat, I ignore them. When my girlfriend asks me to sleep, I refuse. I only love working.
Yu Wan: "..."
She silently saved the GIF.
The next day was still a day for loving work. After the morning meeting, Yu Wan went to find Wei Shao to tell her about the Qixi Festival, but as soon as she started, Wei Shao interrupted her and said, "Oh, by the way, I have something else to do on the 7th, so I can't take you out to dinner. Let's reschedule."
Yu Wan was a little stunned, nodded, and said, "Okay."
"What did you want to tell me just now?" Wei Shao asked.
"Nothing," Yu Wan walked out of Wei Shao's office and felt that something was strange about this. She wanted to ask Li Shen, but after hesitating, she put her phone down.
A few days later, it was Qixi Festival, the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day. Li Shen had arranged for Xiao Dong to help him order a bouquet of red roses to give to Yu Wan in the evening. When Xiao Dong came back with the flowers, she couldn't help but complain to herself that even though she didn't expose Li Shen, it was too much for him to make her buy roses so openly!
As she approached the elevator, she saw that the doors were about to close, so she shouted, "Wait!" and rushed in.
"Thank you," the elevator doors opened again, and inside stood four or five young and handsome boys, the newcomers selected in this audition. And leading them was Chi Lu.
Xiao Dong: "..."
Is this what they mean by 'rushing to be born'1?
Li Shen's concert ticket was delivered to Wei Shao's desk early morning the next day.
After the regular morning meeting at the company, Wei Shao called Yu Wan to his office. Yu Wan thought he was going to assign her some work, but he handed her a package and said, "Hu Jiao sent this to you."
