Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Duan Tang and Bai Yiming’s Reaction (1)

Muyun Group’s top-floor conference room.

Early in the morning, all the senior personnel of the Muyun Society had gathered here for the monthly routine meeting.

The meeting room was eerily quiet, with all the senior staff of the Muyun Society sitting neatly in their seats, listening attentively to Duan Tang arranging next month’s affairs. Suddenly, a soft knock on the door sounded, followed by the conference room doors being pushed open.

Seated next to Duan Tang, Ruan Hao frowned and stood up to leave.

"What’s the matter?" Ruan Hao walked outside and asked in a low voice.

"Manager Ruan, the engagement ceremony between Miss An Yiqing and Third Young Master Gu is to be held at Xuanjin Grand Hotel on May 3rd. The invitation has been delivered."

Ruan Hao’s brows were tightly knitted as he felt a throbbing pain at his temples. The exquisite red invitation in his hand seemed particularly glaring—heavy, leaving him unsure of what to do.

"Hmm, I understand. You can go back," Ruan Hao nodded, dismissing his secretary.

Actually, Ruan Hao had known that An Yiqing and Gu Yelin were bound to get engaged eventually, yet he hadn’t expected the day to come so quickly. It seemed Gu Yelin truly couldn’t wait any longer.

In truth, Ruan Hao understood completely—An Yiqing was stunningly beautiful, surrounded by hungry wolves eyeing her eagerly. Naturally, Gu Yelin wanted to stake his claim as soon as possible, to bring her home where no one else could covet her.

But what about his own family head? Ruan Hao sighed silently in his heart.

As the saying goes, the suitor has a willing heart, but the Goddess has no dreams. The love triangle was destined to leave one person hurt. Ruan Hao helplessly acknowledged that his family head was the one who was doomed to be wounded.

Ruan Hao turned around, pushed open the door of the conference room, and strode back in.

"What’s the matter?" Duan Tang, sitting at the head of the table, looked up and asked warmly.

His eyes were filled with amusement, his entire bearing gentle and graceful, as if he were a white-clothed banished immortal stepped out of an ink painting.

"Family Head, uh..." Ruan Hao stammered for a while, unable to speak.

Seeing the expression on Ruan Hao’s face, Duan Tang’s dense eyebrows arched.

In Duan Tang’s mind, Ruan Hao had always been someone who spoke and acted decisively. Today’s hesitancy was unprecedented, and Duan Tang became somewhat curious.

"What’s wrong? You’ve come back looking like this after stepping out for a moment?" Duan Tang said with a smile.

Looking at his family head’s smiling face, Ruan Hao felt a surge of bitterness. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and revealed the truth.

"Family Head, Miss An and Third Gu are getting engaged."

For a while, the meeting room fell deathly silent. Duan Tang sat quietly in his chair, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his white clothes lending him an air of casual elegance. Ruan Hao’s heart rose to his throat, fearing that his family head might lose control and destroy the meeting room in a fit of anger.

He cautiously lifted his head, stealing a glance at Duan Tang.

At that moment, Duan Tang’s handsome face was expressionless, revealing no emotions, and the usual smile at the corner of his lips had subsided.

Seeing this, Ruan Hao grew even more anxious. His family head always maintained this demeanor—always smiling, even when furious. The angrier he got, the brighter his smile shone. But now...

Was the family head unable to bear it? Ruan Hao worried in his heart.

However, the next second, the silent Duan Tang spoke up.

"Oh, engaged? The young lady is getting engaged, eh..." Duan Tang sighed softly, speaking in a tone so gentle and quiet as if it were a trivial matter, not worth stirring his emotions.
