"Hmm," guming He Jichen pelan sambil memainkan ponselnya. Sekitar dua detik kemudian, dia mendongak dan melirik Chen Bai. Tanpa menunggu Chen Bai berbicara, dia membuka mulutnya. "Apakah Sun Zhounan menginap di Hotel Tianhua?"<br><br>"Ya," jawab Chen Bai.<br><br>He Jichen berkata dengan tenang, "Kirim seseorang untuk mengundangnya kembali."<br><br>Ekspresi Chen Bai tampak seperti baru saja mendengar hal yang paling tidak masuk akal. Matanya terbuka lebar karena sangat terkejut. Dia tergagap saat berbicara, "Meng-mengundangnya... kembali?"<br><br>Saat Ji Yi menatap He Jichen yang duduk di sampingnya, wanita itu menunjukkan ekspresi terkejut yang sama persis dengan Chen Bai.<br><br>Berbanding terbalik dengan reaksi mereka, He Jichen tampak setenang selembar kertas putih. Dengan malas, dia menggumamkan kata "Hmm."<br><br>"Hanya saja... Tuan He, Anda yang meminta saya untuk menyuruh Tuan Sun pergi secara pribadi, tapi sekarang Anda ingin saya mengirim seseorang untuk mengundangnya kembali. Ini..." Sebelum Chen Bai sempat memprotes, He Jichen melirik Chen Bai dari sudut matanya dengan ekspresi tidak sabar. Chen Bai begitu ketakutan hingga bibirnya bergetar, dan celotehannya yang tiada henti langsung berubah arah. "Baik, saya akan pergi mengundang Tuan Sun. Mohon tunggu sebentar, Tuan He."<br><br>Setelah berkata demikian, Chen Bai berbalik dan dengan sigap melaksanakan perintah He Jichen.<br><br>...<br><br>Hotel Tianhua hanya berjarak sekitar seribu meter dari Starlight. Dalam waktu sepuluh menit, Sun Zhounan mengikuti di belakang Chen Bai, muncul di hadapan He Jichen dan Ji Yi.<br><br>Chen Bai menghentikan langkahnya dan berkata dengan suara pelan, "Tuan He, Tuan Sun sudah tiba."<br><br>He Jichen mengangkat kepalanya dan menyapu pandangan tanpa suara ke arah Sun Zhounan yang berdiri di belakang Chen Bai.<br><br>Saat pandangan mereka bertemu, Sun Zhounan justru berbicara, "Tuan He, saya pikir Anda adalah orang yang cerdas. Anda pasti tidak akan benar-benar mempermasalahkan masalah wanita."<br><br>"Bagaimanapun juga, wanita tetaplah wanita, dan bisnis adalah bisnis. Tidak seorang pun akan melepaskan kesepakatan bisnis yang besar hanya demi seorang wanita rendahan!"<br><br>Sambil berkata demikian, Sun Zhounan menatap Ji Yi dengan jijik di matanya yang tampak begitu jernih.<br><br>Ji Yi membuang muka dengan tatapan yang jelas menjadi jauh lebih dingin.<br><br>Sun Zhounan sama sekali tidak peduli dengan reaksi Ji Yi. Dia mengalihkan perhatiannya ke arah He Jichen di sofa dan berkata, "Jujur saja, saat Anda mengusir saya tadi, saya benar-benar marah. Apa ada perlunya Anda melakukan ini demi seorang selebritas kelas tiga?"<br><br>Selebritas kelas tiga... He Jichen mencengkeram ponselnya sedikit lebih erat saat udara di sekitarnya mendadak menjadi jauh lebih dingin.<br><br>Sun Zhounan sama sekali mengabaikan Ji Yi dan terus berbicara, "Entah sudah berapa banyak orang yang tahu tentang hal ini dan berapa banyak yang menertawakan Anda di belakang. Tapi untungnya, Anda mengirim seseorang untuk menjemput saya kembali sehingga kita bisa melupakan ini dan menjadi teman baik di..."<br><br>Tepat saat Sun Zhounan sedang mengatakan itu, dia berjalan mendekat untuk duduk di sofa. Saat dia baru akan duduk dan sebelum mulutnya sempat mengucapkan kata "masa depan," He Jichen memecah keheningannya dengan tiba-tiba berkata, "Apakah aku menyuruhmu duduk?"<br><br>Ucapan Sun Zhounan mendadak terhenti. Dia tetap dalam posisi setengah membungkuk, dan setelah sepuluh detik penuh, dia menoleh untuk menatap He Jichen.<br><br>He Jichen tahu Sun Zhounan sedang menatapnya lekat-lekat. Tanpa sedikit pun menoleh padanya, He Jichen terus berkata dengan blak-blakan, "Aku mengundangmu kembali bukan karena alasan khusus. Aku hanya menyadari kalau aku belum cukup terang-terangan menyuruhmu pergi di depan umum, jadi aku hanya ingin memintamu pergi sekali lagi!"

“Mhm,” responded He Jichen softly as he played on his phone. After about two seconds, he looked up and shot Chen Bai a glance. He didn’t wait for Chen Bai to speak as he opened his mouth. “Is Sun Zhounan staying at the Tianhua Hotel?”
“Yes,” replied Chen Bai.
He Jichen calmly said, “Send someone to invite him back.”
Chen Bai looked as though he’d just heard the most unbelievable thing. His eyes shot wide open from being overly shocked. He stuttered as he spoke, “In-invite him... back?”
As Ji Yi stared at He Jichen sitting beside her, she wore the same astonished look on her face as Chen Bai.
In contrast to their reactions, He Jichen looked as calm as a sheet of white paper. He lazily mumbled the word “Mhm.”
“It’s just that... Mr. He, you asked me to privately ask Mr. Sun to leave, yet now you want me to send someone to invite him back. This...” Before Chen Bai could finish protesting, He Jichen looked impatient as he glanced over at Chen Bai from the corners of his eyes. Chen Bai was so afraid that his lips trembled and his endless chatter changed direction. “Yes, I’ll go invite Mr. Sun. Please wait, Mr. He.”
After he said this, Chen Bai turned around, swiftly carrying out He Jichen’s orders.
...
Tianhua Hotel was just about a thousand meters away from Starlight. In ten minutes time, Sun Zhounan followed behind Chen Bai, appearing before He Jichen and Ji Yi’s eyes.
Chen Bai stopped walking and said in a low voice, “Mr. He, Mr. Sun has arrived.”
He Jichen raised his head and silently swept a look at Sun Zhounan standing behind Chen Bai.
As their eyes met, Sun Zhounan unexpectedly spoke up: “Mr. He, I thought you were a smart person. You won’t really pick a fight over a woman.”
“After all, women are women, and business is business. Nobody would give up on a big business deal over a mere woman!”
As he said this, Sun Zhounan looked over at Ji Yi with disgust in his oddly clear eyes.
Ji Yi looked away with an evidently colder look in her eyes.
Sun Zhounan didn’t care in the slightest for Ji Yi’s reaction. He shifted over to He Jichen on the sofa as he said, “Honestly speaking, when you kicked me out, I was really angry. Was there any need for you to do this on behalf of a third-rate minor celebrity?”
Third-rate minor celebrity... He Jichen pinched his phone a little harder as the air around him instantly turned a lot colder.
Sun Zhounan completely disregarded Ji Yi and continued to say, “Who knows how many people know about this and how many people are laughing at you behind your back. But luckily, you sent someone to escort me back so we can get over this and become good friends in the...”
After Sun Zhounan was saying this, he walked over to sit on the sofa. Just before he sat down and his mouth could say the word “future,” He Jichen broke his silence as he suddenly blurted out, “Did I offer you a seat?”
Sun Zhounan’s words suddenly came to a stop. He stayed crouched, and after ten whole seconds, he turned to look at He Jichen.
He Jichen knew Sun Zhounan was looking right at him. Without even looking at him, He Jichen continued to tell him bluntly, “I invited you back for no special reason. I just realized I didn’t ask you to leave publically enough, so I just wanted to ask you to leave again!”
