Chapter 107: Hongmen Banquet
In the garden, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women shared a candlelight dinner under the bright moonlight. It was a beautiful scene that fell into Yu Yu's eyes on the second floor. She had been making a fuss several times in the day, so she wanted to use this to force Ke Chen out. However, not only was she unable to force Ke Chen out, even Uncle Zhang hadn't come once. Yu Yu was depressed. She originally planned to walk to the window to see the night view outside the window and take a breath, but she never imagined that she would see such a scene. She was familiar with the man in the picture, but it was the first time Yu Yu had seen that woman.
There was still a hint of intimacy between the two of them. Yu had never seen Ke Chen show such an expression towards her. Apart from sadness, Yu felt even more envious.
The overwhelming jealousy almost drowned her. Yu Yu's fingernails stabbed into her palms without any consciousness. The unbearable pain forced her to wake up.
Ke Chen didn't know that Yu Yu was staring at him on the second floor at the moment. He didn't care at all. He only wanted to talk to Tan Lin, and all his thoughts fell on the woman opposite him. Everything tonight was novel and charming for Tan Lin.
Even a woman like Tan Lin, who had taken a liking to the world, couldn't help but feel moved. Her cheeks flushed unnaturally and she looked even more charming under the moonlight.
Ke Chen saw every tiny expression on Tan Lin's face, including the shyness on the woman's face that couldn't be blocked. He sneered in his heart but there was no expression on her face.
"How about the new home?" Are you satisfied? Ke Chen folded his hands and supported his chin. He stared at Tan Lin unwaveringly. Her eyes seemed to have magic, and Tan Lin unknowingly sank into it. She nodded, seemingly unwilling to say anything to her new home.
When she remembered that Ke Chen had clearly gone to Yu Fei's house, but he had lied to her outside. Tan Lin's mood suddenly became complicated, and even her previous shyness disappeared.
Tan Lin looked up at the night sky. Starlight dots were set on a black curtain cloth, like a pair of glasses that could talk. It was a beauty unique to nature.
Ke Chen raised his head with her and took the view of the night sky into his eyes. Then he looked down at Tan Lin who was still admiring her. The corner of his mouth curved into a charming smile, "Not as beautiful as you."
Tan Lin was stunned. She paused for two whole seconds before she stiffly withdrew her gaze and looked at Ke Chen in disbelief. She suspected that there was something wrong with her ear or else why would she hear such a touching sentence from Ke Chen.
After seeing through the woman's thoughts, Ke Chen smiled faintly and shook his head, "You didn't hear wrong."
Listening to his words, the feeling of embarrassment that had finally subsided once again filled her heart. Tan Lin pressed her hand against her face. The hot temperature silently explained just how moved she was.
The effect of this candlelight dinner was even better than Ke Chen had imagined. At least, the smile on Tan Lin's face never disappeared.
Although he couldn't get any useful information related to work from Tan Lin's mouth.
Tan Lin was very alert. Every time he wanted to talk about the related topic, the other party would change the topic without any trace. It was like this every time and twice. Although Ke Chen didn't show it on his face, he knew in his heart that the real purpose of tonight was probably completely ruined.
After acting for so long, Ke Chen was a little tired, and he didn't want to play with Tan Lin anymore. He took back his expression of love all night, raised his hand to signal behind him, and Uncle Zhang walked up. "Send Miss Tan back."
A second ago, they were chatting happily, but the next second, they were about to be "sent away. Tan Lin was completely confused and didn't understand what the man meant." Ke Chen, what do you mean?"
Uncle Zhang came over to block Tan Lin, wore a respectful smile, and made a gesture of "Please" to her, "Miss Tan, the young master's workload is too heavy these two days. He might not be able to stay with you. I'll let the driver send you back first."

Although it sounded nice to say, in reality, it was not to chase people away. Tan Lin was not stupid, so how could she not understand what Uncle Zhang meant?
"No need, I have a driver."
As soon as the voice fell, he stood up from his seat and glared at Ke Chen.
Tan Lin left in her high heels.
Yu Yu watched Tan Lin leave upstairs. She held onto a pillow tightly in her hand and her fingers unconsciously slipped in. There were several wrinkles on the pillow head, which showed how much strength she had exerted. She didn't notice that Ke Chen and Tan Lin had ended up in discord. Her eyes only contained the smile on Tan Lin's face. That smile looked so dazzling, like a sharp thorn, deeply inserted into Khai's heart.
If Yu Yu didn't know why Ke Chen put her and her mother under house arrest before, then she now knew that it was most likely because of this woman!
After locking up the mother and daughter pair, Ke Chen could go on a date with her, just like tonight.
Yu Yu's eyes became cold and vicious as she muttered to herself, "Ke Chen, I won't give you up so easily."
Ke Chen knew nothing about Yu Yu's thoughts. He tiredly walked into the study room, sat down behind the desk and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Thinking back to Tan Lin's words and deeds tonight, Ke Chen unconsciously narrowed his eyes and was confused.
Since Tan Lin could do something to cooperate with several other companies, why didn't she want to tell him? According to Tan Lin's shrewd personality, she couldn't have known that Ke Chen was currently investigating Lin Xiu. But tonight, Tan Lin pretended to be ignorant.
It was really strange.
Ke Chen took out the document "cat" sent him and read it over and over again.
On the surface, the cooperation agreement between Gu Shi and Lin Xiu was not a problem. It was just a simple contract, but when you looked closely, it was full of tiny holes. If you didn't pay attention to it, you would fall into a trap. Things became more and more interesting. Ke Chen thought about the temperament of Tan Lin's tyrannical rich young lady when she appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but admire her.
It seemed that Tan Lin had really learned something overseas.
Ke Chen was studying Tan Lin and Tan Lin was doing the same thing.
She deliberately pretended to leave. If she had been fascinated by the gentleness of Ke Chen at first, after the other person said a few words, she would have completely understood that the candlelight dinner on the surface was obviously a dinner at the Tempestuous Gate.
She didn't find it strange for Ke Chen to find out about this. It would be disappointing if the other party knew nothing about it.
"Accept it, Ke Chen, you can't escape my palm."
Tan Lin clenched her right hand into a fist. She tightened her grip and her bones collided.
