Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

"Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to Verne Restaurant. I am Eve, and it is my pleasure to serve you."

Yun Qiao's hair was styled in a bun, revealing her smooth forehead. She wore a custom-made black suit skirt, paired with a pure white shirt and a red silk scarf with subtle patterns. The skirt was knee-length, and she wore black stockings and black high heels. She stood in front of him with a slight bow, a light smile, and impeccable manners. Her accent was clear.

Rong Qian nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you, you've worked hard."

My friend across from me smiled and said, "How about it? Eve is a top student from the Foreign Languages ​​Institute, fluent in two languages. Pretty good quality, right?"

Yun Qiao stood to the side, helping to take orders, assisting the waiters in serving the food, and asking about their tastes and dietary restrictions. She would make notes, and if they were VIP customers, the Captain would personally serve them in the future.

Rong Qian didn't mention to his friends that Yun Qiao knew him; judging from her reaction just now, she probably didn't want to make a fuss.

Jiang Chengyun was drinking and eating at his club yesterday. Since Chi Mo was there, he naturally didn't mention Yun Qiao. But everyone knows that between Tan Jia and Yun Qiao, he chose Tan Jia, whose family background matched his and could bring him more resources.

They're getting engaged next month at the North City Hotel; the invitations have already been sent out.

Rong Qian didn't say anything about Yun Qiao's mother being hospitalized for chemotherapy in front of Jiang Chengyun. They were about to get engaged, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to say anything more.

But today, seeing Yun Qiao at the restaurant he invested in was somewhat unexpected; he felt that this girl still had a bit of pride in her.

After finishing his meal, he sat for a while longer before preparing to go home.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Yun Qiao standing in the hallway, probably waiting for him.

Rong Qian took the initiative to greet her: "Is your mother feeling better?"

Yun Qiao was waiting for him here because of this, wanting to thank him in person.

The attending physician and the head nurse of the inpatient department took great care of her mother. Although the chemotherapy had a strong reaction, the effect was quite good. The doctor said that there was still a high chance that she could survive for five years.

"Brother Qian, thank you. The doctor said the situation is relatively optimistic. Thank you for your concern." Yun Qiao paused, then said, "I forgot to tell you in the rush when we met last time that Cheng Yun and I have broken up. After all, we've been together for several years, so it's best to part amicably. There's no need to keep in touch anymore. So, please..."

"I understand. I didn't mention it to him. Even if he didn't promise, he's a friend I know. He'd help if he saw you in trouble. Don't take it to heart." Rong Qian comforted her, "I have some shares here. Just focus on your work. Call me if anything happens."

She stopped using WeChat and got a new phone number. Yun Qiao didn't want to bother him anymore, so she nodded and said, "Okay," before going to work.

After Mu Wangbei finished his training, he took a shower and finally woke up completely. When he came out, Chi Mo was rummaging through the kitchen cabinets.

"No, you don't even have a slice of bread at home. What kind of life are you living? How long have these eggs been sitting there? Are they still edible? I just saw that the milk has expired."

Chi Mo was thinking of making something himself, but there was nothing there. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

After the breakup, Mu Wangbei almost never ate at home, and the eggs in the refrigerator had been there for at least two months.

It shouldn't kill anyone.

"Just fry two eggs and make a cup of coffee, I don't really have an appetite."

The two have known each other since childhood. He knows Mu Wangbei's temperament well. He is very particular about his daily life and has a cleanliness obsession. He didn't even notice that the milk in the refrigerator was two months past its expiration date.

Chi Mo grumbled as he went to fry eggs: "Just like that? You want to become a Buddha on the spot? Who hasn't been dumped? When I was sixteen, I was dumped by the school beauty and I was heartbroken for a few days. At most, I was full of energy for a week. Now I don't even remember what that girl looks like. It's no big deal."

Mu Wangbei leaned against the kitchen island, not listening to a word Chi Mo said.

What came to mind was a time when Fang Youxi saw him frying eggs in the kitchen. She hugged him from behind, clinging to him with both hands and feet. That day, he was so focused on turning his head to kiss her that he burned the eggs.

How can you hide the look in someone's eyes when you like them? Fang Youxi clearly likes him a lot.

How could you be so willing to sever ties completely?

On Saturday evening, Fang Youxi pushed her suitcase out, looking exhausted.

This business trip lasted a full month and a half, and when I returned to Beicheng, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Before boarding the plane, she sent the flight number to the driver, and Uncle Li replied that he would pick her up at the airport on time.

Fang Youxi planned to go back, take a shower, and get some sleep to adjust to the time difference.

The people I saw at the arrival gate were: Tang Yi, the eldest brother, and Lu Yanli!

Tang Yi looked at Lu Yanli with disdain. Clearly, Lu Yanli didn't think he was superfluous. He saw her waving repeatedly and said, "Fang Tangtang, over here."

This person is truly a persistent ghost.

Fang Youxi pushed her luggage forward without looking to the side. Lu Yanli ran over and helped her push the suitcase, saying, "Are you blind? You saw us and kept rushing forward."

"Brother, wasn't the driver you assigned me surnamed Li? When did he change his surname to Lu?"

He turned to Tang Yi and said this.

She wasn't in a good mood, and she wanted to create a better life for everyone equally.

When someone is sleepy, their face says "Keep away"—just ignore them.

Lu Yanli came to Tang's today to discuss the project with Tang Yi from the last trip to Haicheng. After the meeting, they planned to have a couple of drinks to relax. In the parking lot, they saw Lao Li getting ready to drive off. Since it was the weekend, Tang Yi asked who he was going to pick up.

Sure enough, Fang Youxi has returned to China.

She went abroad to heal after the breakup for more than a month. Her family, young and old, didn't dare to ask too much, fearing that it would upset her and make her even more upset.

A few, like Tang Yi and Tang Ze, simply didn't want to make themselves unhappy.

But now that he knew his sister was back, it wouldn't be right for the older brother not to personally pick her up at the airport. Lu Yanli had insisted on coming along, and he's getting more and more shameless these days.

Tang Yi treated Lu Yanli as a free driver and asked his sister directly, "Tangtang, are you tired? Why don't you go back to Dad's? I'll call Auntie to make your favorite food."

Lu Yanli pushed the box, while Fang Youxi carried only a laptop bag. She took a few steps slower and linked arms with Tang Yi, saying, "Boss, please spare me. Let me hurry back to my doghouse. I'm so sleepy I can't even keep my eyes open."

Strangely enough, the company could only reimburse economy class fares, so she paid for her own upgrade to business class, but she still couldn't sleep.

I only started to feel sleepy when we were almost at the northern part of the city. Now I'm really sleepy and my eyelids are drooping.

Tang Yi didn't press the matter. Since the person was already back, there was plenty of time in the future, and tomorrow was the weekend. He said, "Okay, I'll take you back. Tomorrow, Sunday, I'll tell the second brother to come home for dinner to welcome you back."

Fang Youxi shook her head: "Brother, don't talk to me, my brain can't process this."

So, Lu Yanli was just the driver on this trip.

He didn't even say a word.

On the way back to Platinum Residence, Lu Yanli drove, Tang Yi sat in the back, and Fang Youxi fell asleep on his shoulder.

The northern part of the city was still a bit chilly in early April. Lu Yanli turned up the temperature and played some soft, light music. The volume was neither too loud nor too soft. It seemed that there was a foreign affairs event today, and there was temporary traffic control on a section of the road from the airport back to the CBD. They waited for about half an hour, but no one spoke.

Lu Yanli looked at Fang Youxi through the rearview mirror. Tang Yi had taken off his coat and draped it over her. She was fast asleep and seemed to have lost some weight, making her face appear even smaller.
