Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

Evening, Guanghua Lane.

The small kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

"Try it first." Wen Li picked up a piece of freshly cooked sweet and sour pork ribs and fed it to Tian Miao.

Tian Miao blew on it twice, put it in her mouth, and still grimaced from the heat, but didn't forget to give a thumbs up.

"It's delicious, just as good as my mom's."

Wen Li poured the marinated beef into the pot and stir-fried it, saying, "Then you should eat more later."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't stand on ceremony at your house."

No sooner had Tian Miao finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

"It should be Vice President Jiang who has arrived. I'll go open the door." Tian Miao turned and walked out of the kitchen, heading straight for the door.

Opening the door, Tian Miao looked at the strange man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Yan Jin handed the nutritional supplement box prepared by the nutritionist to Tian Miao: "Hello, this is for Ms. Wen, please accept it."

Tian Miao looked at the thing in her arms, bewildered: "Who are you?"

"My surname is Yan. Miss Wen knows me." After saying this, Yan Jin turned to leave.

Wen Li, who was in the kitchen, saw Tian Miao standing at the doorway and poked half her body out: "Miao Miao, what's wrong...?"

Upon seeing Yan Jin, she frowned slightly, turned off the stove, and walked out of the kitchen: "Assistant Yan, is something the matter?"

Yan Jin slowly turned his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said to Wen Li, "President Liang asked me to bring you some nourishing supplements."

Tian Miao held out the food box in her arms to Wen Li, somewhat surprised: "Youyou, it's still warm inside."

Wen Li glanced down at the food box, made a quick decision, reached out and picked it up, handing it to Yan Jin outside the door: "No need, please have Assistant Yan take it back."

"Miss Wen..."

Wen Li shoved the food box back into Yan Jin's hands: "Please convey my gratitude to President Liang. I won't be keeping Assistant Yan for dinner today."

After saying that, she nodded slightly, took half a step back, closed the door, and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Tian Miao was a little confused, her gaze constantly shifting between the kitchen and the doorway.

"Youyou, what happened between you and President Liang?" Tian Miao asked, walking into the kitchen. "Didn't he come over for dinner last time?"

Wen Li stirred the beef in the pan and replied with a faint smile, "Nothing much. I owed him a meal last time, and I've paid it back now."

Tian Miao said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Downstairs, a black Maybach was parked quietly by the roadside.

With the car window half-rolled down, Liang Chaoxu leaned back in the back seat, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the apartment building.

When he saw Yan Jin come out carrying a food box, his fingers, which were resting on his knees, unconsciously twitched.

She was more resolute than he had expected.

Yan Jin approached, looking slightly embarrassed: "Mr. Liang, Ms. Wen said thank you for your kindness."

"Understood." Liang Chaoxu turned his gaze back, his expression calm. "Get in the car, back to Liang Garden."

"Okay, Mr. Liang." Yan Jin opened the passenger door, placed the food box on the seat, and then walked around to the other side to get into the car.

As the car drove out of Guanghua Lane, it collided with a Bentley at the intersection. As the two cars passed each other, Liang Chaoxu saw Jiang You in the driver's seat.

His lips curled up, and his smile was radiant.

Yan Jin glanced at Liang Chaoxu through the rearview mirror, hesitating to speak: "Mr. Liang, perhaps..."

"Drive carefully." Liang Chaoxu withdrew his gaze, his voice cold.

Jiang You carried a box of ice cream upstairs.

Tian Miao opened the door, utterly shocked: "Vice President Jiang, why did you buy a box of ice cream on such a cold day?"

"Wen Li likes this ice cream," Jiang You said, as he went inside to change his shoes.

"But..." Tian Miao quickly pursed her lips, deciding it was best not to say anything more.

"You're here. Wash your hands and eat." Wen Li placed the dishes on the table with a gentle smile.

"You haven't been doing too well lately, so I bought you your favorite ice cream from when you were in college."

As Jiang You spoke, he placed the ice cream on the table and solemnly said, "But remember, you absolutely must not eat too much."

Wen Li nodded seriously: "Okay."

Tian Miao looked at the box of ice cream and couldn't help but shiver.

As a southerner, she really couldn't understand how anyone could like eating ice cream in the dead of winter.

Shuncheng Street, Liangyuan Mansion.

The deep courtyard, with its blue bricks and gray tiles, is enclosed by high walls, creating a tranquil haven. Ancient trees stand tall and vigorous in the courtyard, and the corridors stretch endlessly, exuding the dignified and imposing presence of a top-tier aristocratic family.

Uncle Wu, the gatekeeper, was waiting in front of the Zhu gate early in the morning. As soon as Liang Chaoxu's car came to a stop, he jogged over to open the car door.

"Sir, the matriarch of the He family has arrived."

Liang Chaoxu strode out of the car with a brisk pace, his expression cold and stern: "Fine."

Liang Chaoxu's expression softened slightly as he walked from the hanging flower gate to the front of the main house.

The servants waiting on either side of the door opened it, and Liang Chaoxu stepped into the house with a smile on his face. He greeted the old lady of the He family, "Grandma He."

Madam He smiled and nodded: "It's getting colder and colder, Ah Xu, you need to take care of yourself and not work overtime all the time."

Liang Chaoxu smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Grandma He. I will be careful."

Upon hearing this, Qin Youya, the mother, smiled and patted He Yanxi's hand: "Yes, you and Xixi need to take good care of yourselves. Have the nanny prepare some nourishing winter meals for you regularly."

"Okay, Aunt Qin." He Yanxi took Qin Youya's arm, smiling gently and obediently.

The He family couple, standing to the side, watched with beaming smiles.

Father Liang Yun stood up: "Let's eat, we can chat while we eat."

The elders walked in front, while Liang Chaoxu and He Yanxi walked side by side behind.

"Confess tonight?" Liang Chaoxu asked in a low voice.

He Yanxi quickly shook her head: "The plan has changed, it won't work tonight."

Liang Chaoxu frowned: "What's going on?"

He Yanxi raised her hand to cover her lips, tilted her head slightly and leaned closer: "There's been a problem at his place, the situation is quite serious."

"Can't come?" Liang Chaoxu's brows furrowed even deeper.

He Yanxi nodded helplessly, then clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture: "For the sake of our childhood friendship, you have to help me stabilize the situation no matter what."

"What time is it? Do you and him even work out?" Liang Chaoxu glanced at the elder in front of him, somewhat anxious.

He Yanxi, unconvinced, grabbed his coat sleeve: "Who do you think you are!"

Liang Chaoxu pulled back his sleeve: "It's not that I look down on you, it's that I'm afraid you'll delay my business."

"Don't worry, it won't delay anything," He Yanxi said, lowering her voice even further. "Help me now, and I'll help you pursue Wen Li later."

Liang Chaoxu only heard the name "Wen Li," and nothing else. He tilted his head slightly towards He Yanxi: "Wen Li what?"

"You have the nerve to say that to me." He Yanxi rolled her eyes at Liang Chaoxu. "Aren't you the one who's love-struck?"

"Let's not get sidetracked. What happened to Wen Li?" Liang Chaoxu turned to look at her.

When the old lady He in front turned around by chance and saw the two of them, she quickly patted Qin Youya beside her, signaling her to look back.

Instantly, the elders all turned around, their faces beaming with satisfaction.

"Childhood sweethearts are the best. They've had feelings for each other since they were little, so it's easier to arrange a marriage," said Madam He with a smile.

Qin Youya smiled with satisfaction: "Yes."
