"Why don’t you find another target? I’m going to see what’s going on with that girl!"
Seeing Han Lie’s deanor, Old Pan’s heart skipped a beat again.
It’s hopeless! He’d guessed right!
This kid is just a tool for that couple, used when they’re having a blast and completely ignored otherwise!
Their precious girl didn’t even bother to co to Little Han’s celebration banquet—isn’t that proof enough?!
Pan Ge, who was working out hard, trying to regain so face in front of that scumbag: OW?
Panzi started overthinking again, feeling extrely anxious, and his interest in finding a girl to drink with waned.
This had nothing to do with intelligence. Preconceived notions and anxiety clouding judgnt—nothing could be more normal.
As for why Han Lie was in such a hurry to escape... It wasn’t because of a guilty conscience, but because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from laughing.
...
Han Lie didn’t directly approach the girl who was stealing glances at him.
He walked to a lounge area near the girl, sank into a sofa, and casually took out his phone.
In less than three minutes, seven or eight girls had hurried over.
They were probably all quite pretty; otherwise, they likely wouldn’t have had the confidence to approach Han Lie.
But Lie didn’t even look up, casually dismissing them all.
Consequently, the girl was even more hesitant to approach, just standing there looking lost.
About five minutes later, Lie put away his phone and lifted his head slightly.
His gaze swept aimlessly around the room and happened to et hers again. Han Lie paused for a mont, then suddenly raised his hand and beckoned to her.
The girl froze for a second, then pointed at herself with a blank look. "Are you calling ?"
Lie’s eyes twinkled with amusent. He nodded, gesturing to her again with a wave of his hand.
The girl’s mood suddenly lifted. Feeling she was receiving special treatnt, she pursed her lips and walked over quickly, beaming with delight.
This girl had studied dance before, so she had a rhythmic way of walking.
Especially when she moved with quick, joyful steps, she bounced along like a young deer darting through the forest.
"Hello, Teacher Han!"
She placed a hand over her chest and bowed lightly, revealing her exquisite collarbones to Han Lie—their lines were stunningly beautiful.
"Sit."
Lie sized her up for a mont with an appreciative gaze, then smiled and t her eyes.
"So, what’s up? You keep sneaking glances at ."
"Ah? I..."
The base of her ears flushed instantly, though it was hard to tell on her face due to her makeup.
"I wasn’t peeking *all* the ti~~~"
She couldn’t outright deny it, so she resorted to quibbling over the specifics. It wasn’t necessarily intentional, but her coyness was undeniably charming.
Han Lie felt a shiver run down his spine from her cuteness, but he forced himself to remain composed and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Alright, fine. I was the one sneaking peeks at you, okay?"
The blush at the base of her ears deepened, and her heart swelled with delight.
How could the little beauty not know the real situation?
She had been watching Han Lie the whole ti. Lie had only glanced her way twice—once prompted by soone else and once by chance—and it was precisely those two glances that got her caught.
You’re so embarrassing, Remi!
But Han Lie is so sweet, isn’t he? Yet he’s so cold to others... Could it be that he likes too?
As her mind wandered through all sorts of thoughts, she relaxed considerably, and her penchant for daydreaming quietly surfaced.
But no matter how many wonderful scenarios she imagined, she still didn’t know how to interact with Han Lie, ultimately blurting out a rather comical reply.
"N-No problem... Uh, I an... why are you here by yourself?"
It was indeed rather clumsy. So clumsy, in fact, that even Han Lie was surprised.
A beauty with such an aloof and striking appearance is actually this introverted and shy with strangers?
Han Lie actually didn’t know much about Remi, who had a "wild sister" reputation. In his previous life, he hadn’t paid her much attention, only hearing so gossip from the bigwigs at his company.
That was back in ’22, when a mistress scandal prompted discussions about several of the "chosen ones" in the entertainnt industry.
The finance world had always looked down on the entertainnt industry with disdain. Before the era of massive online traffic, so-called A-list celebrities and major film and television companies simply didn’t have the standing to make their voices heard in financial circles.
Insiders in the relevant circles should recall how Hua Yi had to suck up to its underwriter, a certain major investnt bank, to go public back in the day.
Its female stars got drunk and threw up countless tis, clinging to executives in their fifties and calling them "Big Brother"—we won’t ntion nas.
However, although high-end financiers generally looked down on the entertainnt industry, there were a few female stars who were exceptions.
Never mind the irrelevant ones; the surprising thing was that Remi’s reputation within that small circle at Han Lie’s company was actually quite good.
The unanimous view was: the little girl is really nice.
In the eyes of traders dealing with extrely high-pressure daily work, a girl being a bit dense wasn’t a problem; in fact, being a little clueless was often less hassle.
Adorably clueless head-over-heels in love type beautiful = perfect girlfriend.
It wasn’t that there were no beauties in the finance world—quite the contrary, there were many stunners. However, top finance professionals rarely married won from their own field. Casual flings were fine, but marriage was a no-go.
Career won, workaholics, ambitious types—they could all get lost.
So Remi—who rarely attended drinking parties, got completely swept up in relationships, had plenty of dirt dug up by ex-boyfriends, and lacked career ambition—actually had a decent reputation. It was indeed sowhat surreal.
Now that he finally had the chance to interact with her personally, Han Lie completely understood why.
This not-so-bright act of yours... teasing you is genuinely delightful...
"So, should I call soone else over to chat with us both?"
Han Lie made a show of looking around, a smile playing on his lips as he asked, "Go on, tell . Who’s caught your eye?"
Suddenly, the scoundrel’s gaze landed on a President Cai and lingered there.
Remi was completely flustered.
She was very flustered, and it was incredibly obvious. Her large eyes seed to speak, clearly conveying the sentint: Don’t, don’t ss with !
This girl, even into her thirties, still wasn’t the type with high EQ who could carry a conversation. She was incredibly self-absorbed, a true "little princess" through and through.
Now, she was very curious about Han Lie and wanted to approach him, but for the mont, she couldn’t figure out a suitable way.
Instead, she was teased until her hands, feet, and mind went numb.
Finally, perhaps out of genuine desperation, she blundered forward like an earnest, simple soul.
"You’re fine, you’re fine! Brother Lie, please stop teasing ~~~"
Well, now it was Han Lie’s turn to be left speechless...
*Just so idle chatter and bragging.*
*Remi’s actual looks and personality are nicer than many people imagine.*
*I’m only 21; I haven’t t her, but my older brother has~~~*
