"Let's have dinner together this Christmas?" Cici said with a smile.
She was a lively person. In previous years, she would bring many colleagues and friends to have dinner, drink, and stay up all night.
Hearing Cici's invitation, Tang Qing thought for a moment. No, she had an appointment with Yanyan every day, so she said apologetically, "Sorry, I have an appointment tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Li Xi gave her a playful smile and looked at her with a half-smile: "Hey, are you spending time with your boyfriend?"
Tang Qing immediately said, "No, just friends." After all, her relationship with Yanyan couldn't be more complicated.
"Well, let's chat together at the company tomorrow." Li Xi shrugged, indicating it didn't matter.

That night, Yan Yan gently told Tang Qing, "Qingqing, it's getting very late; you should go to bed now."
Tang Qing hesitated for a moment, "Well..."
Half an hour passed, and Yanyan came to check on Tang Qing, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Summoning her courage, Tang Qing asked, "Yanyan, can I come to your company tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with Cici?"
To Tang Qing's surprise, Yanyan readily agreed, "Okay."
————————————————————
On Christmas night, Yanyan's particular car came to pick up Tang Qing at the company door. At the year's end, businesses everywhere offered discounts and promotions. People were busy watching the lanterns, and the city was immersed in the crowds' lively and bustling scenes.
On a particular road in the city center, a long line of vehicles mixed with people filled the street, and all the drivers had to move forward slowly. Even the top-notch sports cars couldn't run as fast as the little Pekingese that occasionally passed by on the road. Unfortunately, Yanyan's car was also caught in traffic.
He glanced at his watch and looked at the endless traffic before him. The driver's hand on the steering wheel couldn't help but crack his bones.
"Miss Tang, a traffic jam is ahead so we may arrive a little later."
"It's okay, take your time."
At this moment, Tang Qing received a call from Yanyan, "Qingqing, why haven't you arrived yet? The dishes you ordered are all cold," Yanyan said.
"There's a bit of a traffic jam ahead."
"I told you to come to the company with me long ago, but you didn't believe it," Yanyan murmured.
"Okay, we're almost there," Tang Qing smiled.
"I'll wait for you at the elevator entrance," Yanyan said, "Okay."
On the other side, Li Xi said in a low voice, "Let's just wait for her alone."
Cici smiled gently: "It's easy to get stuck in traffic now, so it doesn't matter if we wait."
"We don't have much, but Mr. Yan's time is precious."
On the other hand, Mr. Yan, whose time was precious, was waiting for Tang Qing at the elevator entrance.
The car moved slowly and finally arrived at the company entrance.
"Qingqing."
Yanyan smiled with a handsome face.
"Let's go up." As he spoke, Yanyan took Tang Qing's hand and had no intention of letting go.
The implication is: You are mine; let go and try.
"..."
Tang Qing had a massive bead of cold sweat rolling down his forehead, and she turned to look at him.
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
"It's not."
Tang Qing looked at him with black lines on his head: "Then what kind of relationship do we have?" Yanyan hummed, "a lovers' relationship."
Yanyan pressed the button and said slowly, "If you don't like it, then we don't have to hold hands." The side profile looked a little lonely.
Tang Qing shook his head, "No."
Seeing Tang Qing affirming his actions, Yanyan's words and movements suddenly paused.
Tang Qing asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"I want to kiss you."
Tang Qing quickly said, "Ah! That's not good."
"I want to kiss you." The lazy, slow voice sounded again.
Tang Qing..."
Before Tang Qing could react, Yanyan kissed her. When their lips touched, Yanyan closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes made Tang Qing's eyes feel a little itchy.
After a long time, the elevator door opened, and Yanyan returned to her usual calm tone, "Let's go."
"Okay." Tang Qing's face felt a little hot.
As Yan Yan led Tang Qing into the crowd, Li Xi asked anxiously, "Mr. Yan, what is this?"
Tang Qing remained silent.
"My girlfriend," Yan Yan replied.
"Ah..." Li Xi's expression stiffened.
Yan Yan slowly took out a card from his pocket and said, "Buy two more copies and send them to my office."
"Yes, sir," Ah Rong replied, but the expressions of the others were even more subtle, especially Li Xi. She never expected Tang Qing to be Yan Yan's girlfriend, as he was not very conspicuous.
Tang Qing slightly embarrassedly explained, "Sorry, he was joking; we are friends." Then, to everyone's shock, he kissed Tang Qing on the lips before them, saying, "Yes, a friend you can kiss."
This sentence shocked everyone, and Cici immediately said, "Then let's wish Mr. Yan and Miss Tang a Merry Christmas, and we won't disturb you for now."
"But didn't we agree to have Christmas dinner together and exchange gifts?" Li Xi interrupted Cici.
"I'm not used to dining with people I don't know well," Yan's words did not save Li Xi any face, which made Li Xi feel very embarrassed.
"Okay, let's eat first; the food is cold," Cici said, trying to smooth things over.
Li Xi's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but she could only watch as Yan Yan held Tang Qing's hand and walked to the exclusive elevator.
Yan's temper was surprisingly good today, even though he looked lazy from beginning to end.
Tang Qing looked at the casual profile of the man before him and couldn't help but say, "You are so patient today."
"Well, because Qingqing is here," Yan Yan replied.
"..." Tang Qing couldn't help but feel that Yan Yan could be more modest.
When Tang Qing was embarrassed, he heard the man beside him sigh, "You are my girlfriend."
"..." Tang Qing didn't know how to respond.
After entering the office, Yan Yan turned around and blocked Tang Qing against the wall. "Qingqing..." His voice was nostalgic and full of desire.
Tang Qing could feel the intensity of Yan Yan's gaze as he was pressed against the wall. The atmosphere in the room suddenly felt charged with emotion.
