Chapter 1178

The waiter cautiously looked at Ye Xingguang, waiting for instructions from the host of the banquet.

Ye Xingguang glanced at the arrogant Han Chengbei, then nodded, and only then did the waiter add the chair and cutlery.

Han Chengbei instantly felt comfortable, thinking he’d put Ye Xingguang in an awkward spot.

Because of Ye Xingguang, Han Chengbei also knew that Ye Xingguang wanted to give her a surprise, hosting a unique birthday banquet for her. However, Han Chengbei didn’t know it wasn’t a birthday party but a wedding.

If he knew, Han Chengbei definitely wouldn’t be this smug; he wouldn’t want to be eating "dog food," he’s not even hungry!

With still some guests yet to arrive, Ye Xingguang pretended to sit there playing with his phone. If someone came over to chat, he’d exchange small talk, making it seem like he was here to attend someone else’s birthday party.

Ye Xingguang sat next to him, secretly laughing inside, thinking, this man really knows how to act!

Han Chengbei was even more disdainful, "Ha, pretending, thinking the old man doesn’t know about the surprise, how utterly boring."

Every surprise, if known in advance, is very uninteresting, yet only Ye Xingguang seems to enjoy it, thinking his acting is top-notch—what a joke.

Once most of the guests had arrived, Han Chengbei deliberately asked, "Oh, whose birthday party is it really tonight? I’m very curious."

Ye Xingguang lifted his eyelids and glanced at Han Chengbei, "Don’t know, what are you doing in this hustle?"

Han Chengbei said, "Business has been tough lately, I’m broke, figured I’d come over for some free food and drinks, can’t I?" noveldrama

Meanwhile, Lin Hanfeng dashed over, "Ah, my fleeting connection, you’re finally here, welcome to my birthday party. I’ve been asking your old friend Ye for quite a while, he only agreed to let you come to my birthday celebration."

Lin Hanfeng almost threw himself at Ye Xingguang but was blocked by Ye Xingguang’s foot.

Not giving up, Lin Hanfeng gave Ye Xingguang a mysterious wink, meaning: You get it.

Ye Xingguang understood perfectly, playing along: "Brother Fate, congratulations to you, happy birthday."

Han Chengbei looked curiously at how familiar the two were: "Lin, when did you get so chummy with my old man?"

"Oh, Han Chengbei, how come you’re here? I don’t recall inviting you."

Han Chengbei flexed his power, "An invitation now isn’t too late, right?"

"We’re very familiar, coming uninvited, you’ve got some nerve."

Lin Hanfeng and Ye Xingguang are on the same team, but Han Chengbei and Lawson Perry are allies, so they don’t normally hang out, which is why Lin Hanfeng couldn’t help mocking Han Chengbei with a couple of lines, then didn’t bother with him anymore.

All of his focus today was on his clients.

As the saying goes, clients are God; clients are his bread and butter.

So right now, in Lin Hanfeng’s eyes, Ye Xingguang and Ye Xingguang are like his parents.

He winked at Ye Xingguang: "My fleeting connection, the banquet’s about to start, enjoy the food, and have fun. I need to go entertain other guests, later, I’ll come to toast you both."

After Lin Hanfeng left, he didn’t forget to send Ye Xingguang a WeChat message.

Brother Fate: "Little Fate, soon someone’s going to bring you flowers, don’t be too excited, this is the opening act prepared by Ye Xingguang for you, an appetizer, for your birthday banquet’s big surprise. I’ve told you the surprise in advance, am I not a good ’Fate’ brother?"
