It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

They were successfully kicked out in the sweltering summer.

Assistant Chen Nan politely and courteously saw the person off and returned to the president's office.

Zhou Yinghuai was visibly unhappy.

Chen Nan reminded him at just the right moment, "Boss, the cafeteria downstairs has already prepared the food."

I was originally planning to have lunch in the middle of summer.

Because of what just happened, Zhou Yinghuai would rather feed the dog than give Sheng Xiali a bite.

He stared at the numbers on the report and for the first time felt that work was not as peaceful as that quiet afternoon in the cave.

It was even smaller than Zhu Xi's dormitory, which was less than a third the size of his office.

He even missed Zhu Xi's thick, brick-like professional books.

Chen Nan remained silent, occasionally observing the boss's furrowed brows and unreadable eyes.

He became Zhou Yinghuai's assistant right after graduating from university, and this month marks almost six years.

For six years, he always thought of his boss as a gentle work machine.

Zhou Yinghuai never complained of being tired, nor did he ever treat anyone harshly.

Even when the project failed and he was in a passive position, he had never looked so complicated and depressed.

He was always calm, always gentle.

Aside from his interactions with the young lady, Chen Nan never saw any significant emotional fluctuations on Zhou Yinghuai's face.

At this moment, Zhou Yinghuai, the boss whom he regarded as a god, held the pen in his laptop, his knuckles turning white.

They asked him, "Chen Nan, have you ever been in a relationship?"

This was the first time Chen Nan had been asked this question.

I didn't react for a moment.

Do you have a girlfriend?

"No," Chen Nan answered truthfully, "but we talked about it in college."

"And now?"

Chen Nan chuckled, "We split up a long time ago. I split up in my second month at the company."

"The reason?" Zhou Yinghuai asked persistently, "Who initiated the breakup?"

Chen Nan: "She suggested it."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

The reason for the breakup was simple: he was busy, always busy following Zhou Yinghuai around.

Too busy to go on dates or have long phone conversations.

Slow replies are the norm, and frequent non-replies are common.

He spends 18 out of 24 hours a day with Zhou Yinghuai.

Those who don't know might think they have something going on.

Chen Nan tidied himself up slightly and smiled, "She's wonderful, it's just that I'm not lucky enough to have her."

Zhou Yinghuai waved his hand, "Go out and have the cafeteria bring the food up."

"it is good."

Dazhou Group President's Office: Sunny turning cloudy, cloudy turning sunny.

The view from the window seats in the People's Hospital cafeteria is quite different.

Liang Chenxing took a bite of the stir-fried pork with chili peppers and hummed for a long time, "Delicious, delicious."

Zhu Xi puffed out her cheeks, looking like she was saying, "Whatever makes you happy."

She thought that it was probably because she had eaten too much white food that she thought this dish was a delicacy.

Zhu Xi didn't eat much, and her appetite worsened as the weather got hotter.

She had no appetite for the hospital food, but she ate very well the food Zhou Yinghuai cooked.

She thought of Zhou Yinghuai again.

It seems that lately, she keeps thinking about Zhou Yinghuai.

I think about it when I walk into the dorm, and I think about it when I open the refrigerator.

While eating the strawberries, she was even more impressed by the man's decency and thoughtfulness.

At this moment, Liang Chenxing's intentions were still unclear.

Are they trying to steal Zhou Yinghuai away?

Or perhaps, we could issue her a challenge.

Zhu Xi, resting his chin on his hand, finished eating the two slices of watermelon and asked her, "What do you want from me?"

Liang Chenxing looked up, though there was no excessive smile on her face, and she did not show any hostility towards Zhu Xi.

She wiped her lips. "I came to be your friend."

Zhu Xi chuckled and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.

The sun was still so strong, and the ground was still so hot that just looking at it made your feet feel like they were burning.

The scenery is still the same as when I was with Zhou Yinghuai.

"We can't be friends." She met Liang Chenxing's gaze. "I never intended to climb up to him."

Liang Chenxing sighed softly, as if grief was welling up within her, "I never thought that by trying to climb the social ladder, you would also take away what should have been mine."

"I didn't steal it," Zhu Xi disagreed. "Zhou Yinghuai approached me first."

"Let me emphasize that nothing in this world belongs to anyone. We are all human beings, and everyone is equal."

Liang Chenxing laughed at her naivety, and even her exquisite eyeliner seemed to mock Zhu Xi's lack of frankness.

Do you know how the marriage agreement between the Zhou and Yu families came about?

Zhu Xi: "I don't need to know. What happened in the past was none of my business. Since it's none of my business, I don't need to dwell on it."

Liang Chenxing scoffed, "Wen Shasha is right. You, a beneficiary of the system, are indeed good at getting the benefits and then acting innocent."

"So even the renowned Miss Liang enjoys listening to dogs bark."

"Still a mad dog." Zhu Xi chuckled, fidgeting with her fingers. "You came to me for more than just this, didn't you?"

With a slight movement of her elbow joints, the diamond ring hanging around Zhu Xi's neck spilled out from the neckline of her T-shirt.

Top-grade pink diamonds, crafted with master-level skill.

Every place, every point, every frame is perfect and impeccable.

Liang Chenxing leaned back. "During my first summer vacation, Ah Huai and I went to Hong Kong to discuss a project. That was the first project we completed independently, completely detached from our families."

Zhu Xi touched the smooth surface of the diamond and listened quietly.

"I remember it very clearly. That project brought considerable profits to both of us." Liang Chenxing recalled that period of youthful struggle. "That night, we were invited to attend the Vison family's auction, and this was the spoils of that night."

Zhu Xi smiled and asked, "And then?"

Liang Chenxing lowered her eyes, a fleeting look of disappointment and frustration passing through her. "I thought it would be mine. I thought that sooner or later, I would walk into our happiness with it, arm in arm with Ah Huai."

Zhu Xi really didn't want to dampen the spirits, but she couldn't help herself.

She raised her hand. "Excuse me for being blunt, but even without me, it's very likely that it would still belong to Yu Qingge."

Liang Chenxing shrugged. "Forgive my bluntness, but I've never considered Yu Qingge a rival. She, and those incompetent fools from the Wen family, are not worthy."

"Are you praising me?" Zhu Xi smiled smugly. "It sounds like I am."

Liang Chenxing had to admit that the struggles and waits of many years collapsed in an instant when he saw Zhu Xi's photo.

Yu Qingge is not Zhou Yinghuai's type.

But this medical student who climbed her way up from the bottom couldn't compete.

With just one glance, she knew she had lost.

No one understood Zhou Yinghuai's stubbornness better than her.

Beneath his seemingly peaceful exterior lies an extremely strong rebellious streak.

He didn't want to, and no one could force him to agree.

Even if he didn't love Zhu Xi, he still had a little bit of affection for her.

However, Yu Qingge, with whom he had a long-standing engagement, did not have this kind of affection.

He, who had been his classmate for many years, had none of these feelings.

This girl, who appeared out of nowhere and had no prior knowledge, had all the advantages of timing, location, and people.

Effortlessly, take it all down.

Liang Chenxing extended his hand to her with a graceful and generous manner, "Mrs. Zhou, let's get to know each other again. I am Liang Chenxing, a friend of Zhou Yinghuai."

Zhu Xi returned the handshake, and for the first time, she spoke differently, despite being seen as a beneficiary by others.

"Miss Liang, please believe me, I have no intention of interfering in other people's relationships. If Zhou Yinghuai is truly interested in you, I will grant your wish."

She paused for a few seconds, then said, "In my opinion, his feelings for you as a classmate are nothing more than that."

"You really are terrifyingly honest." Liang Chenxing held her hand tightly and pushed Zhu Xi away.

He deliberately said, "Zhu Xi, your strong one is here."
