Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy-Chapter 77 – Reluctant to leave and clinging to life

She was hoping to use this opportunity to chat with him and build a connection, but as soon as Shen Yanshi sat down, many people came over with glasses of wine to toast him.

As the head of the Shen family, no one in Peking City would miss the chance to show him respect, especially those who had favors to ask.

Qin Chuyun barely got a few words in before being pushed aside. Unwilling to give up her spot, she stubbornly sat next to him, ignoring the looks from others.

But most of the conversations were about business, which she didn't understand. Shen Yanshi didn't even glance at her, making her presence awkward. She could only pour him wine and tea to cover her embarrassment.

Today, Xiang-Nuan had a meeting with representatives from a luxury brand. Zheng Xuanlin had already discussed most of the collaboration details, and today's dinner was for the brand representatives to meet Xiang-Nuan and make a final decision.

She wore a beige trench coat that reached her calves, paired with jeans and camel-colored ankle boots. Her long, slightly wavy hair draped casually over her shoulders, giving her a tall, sleek, and elegant look.

Her entire outfit was from the brand, and since it was a private dinner, she didn't dress too formally but rather matched the refined image the brand sought in a spokesperson.

The dinner went smoothly, and the brand representatives were clearly pleased with her.

"Come sign the endorsement contract tomorrow," they said.

Zheng Xuanlin was thrilled but maintained her composure, smiling and nodding, "Alright."

Behind her back, she gave Xiang-Nuan an OK gesture.

Zheng Xuanlin personally saw the brand representatives out while Xiang-Nuan gathered her things, ready to leave.

The elevator seemed slow, and she didn't feel like waiting. Since it was just the third floor, she decided to take the stairs, wanting to stretch her legs after being cooped up in the private room.

But as she descended the spiral staircase to the second floor, she ran into a familiar face.

"Qin-An?" Xiang-Nuan was momentarily stunned.

Qin-An stiffened, clearly not expecting to see her there.

"Nuan-Nuan, why are you..."

Xiang-Nuan looked down and saw the cigarette pack in his hand.

He never used to smoke.

He quickly put the cigarette pack into his pocket, looking a bit uneasy, "I just came out for some air."

Xiang-Nuan then remembered that today was his engagement day.

She had only heard from Tao Junle that he was getting engaged today but didn't know it was at the Intercontinental Hotel.

How small could this world be?

She pressed her lips together, "I was just here for a business meeting."

Qin-An's eyes darkened. He knew she wasn't there for him.

At this point, what more could he hope for?

"Congratulations on your engagement."

Knowing it was pointless to say more, she added, "I should go."

"Nuan-Nuan!"

Qin-An called out to her, his expression conflicted.
