Shen Manwen was receiving a subordinate when she heard Cheng Yuan's words; her heart warmed, and she nearly lost her cool and commanding demeanor.
"I'm busy; Xiao Liu is already handling that."
Cheng Yuan instantly realized that it might not be convenient for Shen Manwen to talk, so he suppressed his excitement and said, "Sis, how about we go on a date tonight?"
Shen Manwen's heart raced, but her expression remained icy.

Cheng Yuan felt time was moving slowly.
An afternoon felt like several years.
