"When you go to the company later, ask Liu Yuyang how to handle this matter," Li Lili said immediately after getting into the car.

"Okay, don't worry," Chen Ling quickly replied. Li Lili then sat in the passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest, while Chen Ling focused on driving. Soon, they arrived at the company. After getting out of the car, they saw the two of them hurrying inside.

"Don't forget what I told you," Li Lili reminded Chen Ling in the elevator.

"Don't worry, Liu Yuyang is also my brother, I'm very concerned about him," Chen Ling immediately said. Afterwards, they went into the company and parted ways. Although Li Lili was Chen Ling's secretary, she didn't actually need to handle many things. However, she wasn't idle; she kept finding things to do.

"Come to my office." Chen Ling texted Liu Yuyang as soon as he arrived at his office.

A moment later, Liu Yuyang came in. Chen Ling immediately asked, "What did you find at the construction site yesterday? How's the renovation going?"

"Uh, it's alright," Liu Yuyang said casually.

"What do you mean by 'okay'? Didn't you check the progress yesterday?" Chen Ling continued to ask.

"I did watch it, but I forgot it again," Liu Yuyang said, scratching his head.

"Alright, stop beating around the bush and stop scratching your head. Just tell me what it is," Chen Ling said, revealing his real question.

"Well, you really can't hide anything from you. I broke up with my boyfriend," Liu Yuyang said with a wry smile. "And then?" Chen Ling pressed on.

"That's it, we just broke up. What's the big deal? I'm not going to hang myself on Chen Mengyao's tree," Liu Yuyang said stubbornly.

"Okay, it's good that you're alright. I'm not worried about you now that you've figured it out yourself. Just don't let it affect your work," Chen Ling continued to instruct.

“Okay,” Liu Yuyang replied immediately.

"Is everything alright? I'll head out now," Liu Yuyang asked with a grin.

"Okay, go out." Chen Ling said, keeping his eyes fixed on Liu Yuyang.

So Liu Yuyang walked out. Just then, Chen Ling thought to himself, "Why is Liu Yuyang still being so stubborn? He's putting on an act." But work was more important right now, so Chen Ling stopped thinking about personal matters and focused on his task. Time passed quickly.

However, after leaving Chen Ling's office, Liu Yuyang's mind was filled with worries. He thought back to what had happened yesterday; how could it be explained in just a few words? In front of Chen Ling, he had only tried to put on a brave face. He had to keep so much bitterness hidden in his heart.

Before they knew it, it was time to go home in the evening. However, at this time, Li Lili began to press Chen Ling about his progress.

Li Lili then began to speak: "How did it go? What did Liu Yuyang tell you?"

"What else could he say? He didn't say anything. If you ask me, let's just leave this matter alone," Chen Ling said.

"Alright then, we really don't have any good ideas, but Mengyao's condition today doesn't seem to be very good," Li Lili muttered after hearing this.

“Yes, but we are willing but unable to help in this matter. If we want to help, we need to find a way through Chen Mengyao to let go of the past and resolve her inner conflict. But do you think that's possible? If she could really let go, she wouldn't have chosen to break up with Liu Yuyang.” Chen Ling said calmly.

"Yes, I know that too. So are we just going to give up like this?" Li Lili asked, puzzled.

"Let's leave it at that for now, let them both calm down for a while, and then see how things go in a few days," Chen Ling explained.

"It seems like this is the only way right now. Let's wait and see, and talk about it again later," Li Lili said softly.

"Did Chen Mengyao say anything to you today?" Chen Ling suddenly asked, wanting to see Chen Mengyao's reaction.

"No, why?" Li Lili said casually.

"Liu Yuyang wasn't acting strangely today," Chen Ling recalled the scene at the company that day, then continued. After speaking, Chen Ling started thinking about their matter again.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Li Lili ignored him. At that moment, Li Lili suddenly thought of her own situation. She had been advising Chen Mengyao to make some concessions for Liu Yuyang, but what about herself? She knew that Chen Ling had felt envious when he saw Chen Xiaoqi's child and wanted to be a father too, but she had always refused. She also knew that Chen Ling's family shared the same opinion, but she still hadn't agreed. Thinking about all this, Li Lili unconsciously compared Chen Ling and Liu Yuyang. Seeing the immense pressure Liu Yuyang was under, she thought of Chen Ling's pressure as well. Turning to look at Chen Ling, she felt that he had shouldered a lot of pressure for her. Li Lili suddenly remembered a quote she had seen long ago: "There is no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you." Thinking of this, Li Lili suddenly felt that having a child now wouldn't be a problem.

“Chen Ling,” Li Lili said, turning to look at Chen Ling with deep affection.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Chen Ling replied casually as he continued driving.

"I love you." Li Lili's expression remained deeply affectionate. However, Chen Ling immediately lost his composure and turned to look at Li Lili, saying, "Me too, I love you very much."

“Okay,” Li Lili said sweetly.

So Chen Ling smiled, turned around, and continued driving. At that moment, Chen Ling felt a surge of joy. This was the first time he had heard Li Lili say she loved him, and the first time he had seen her so affectionate. Chen Ling's mood remained pleasantly cheerful throughout the journey.

"What are you grinning about?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling, who was standing to the side.

"Ah, it's nothing, I'm just happy," Chen Ling said shyly.

However, Li Lili chuckled upon hearing this. Then she said, "So easily satisfied."

"Yes, contentment brings happiness," Chen Ling said cheerfully.

After returning home, Chen Ling's stomach began to rumble loudly.

So Chen Ling immediately asked Li Lili, "What are we having for dinner?"

"What do you want to eat?" Li Lili asked immediately.

"I'm craving some Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)," Chen Ling said casually.

"Then we'll have noodles with soybean paste for dinner," Li Lili said quickly, and then walked towards the kitchen.

Soon, Li Lili finished cooking and watched as Chen Ling unpacked a package.

Then Li Lili asked, "What did you buy?"

"Game console, let's try it out together after we finish eating," Chen Ling said happily.

"Okay, come and eat first. Aren't you hungry already?" Li Lili quickly said.

So Chen Ling put down what he was holding and started to eat. When Chen Ling saw the noodles in the bowl, his mouth watered, and he quickly took a bite.

"Mmm~ Delicious, this is the taste!" Chen Ling said happily.

"Look at you, you're so hungry," Li Lili asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's all because you didn't have lunch with me. Liu Yuyang doesn't have time for me now either, so I just grabbed a bite and didn't get full," Chen Ling said with a chuckle.

Li Lili immediately laughed after hearing Chen Ling's words.

"It's rare that we're both in such a good mood, let's play some games together later," Chen Ling said again.

"You just want to drag me along to try out your equipment, don't you?" Li Lili bluntly exposed Chen Ling's motives.

"Yes, yes," Chen Ling said happily.

"You seem to be in a really good mood," Li Lili said, looking at Chen Ling who was constantly smiling.

"Yes," Chen Ling nodded in agreement. The two ate their meal chatting and laughing, and soon finished.

"Go prepare your equipment, I'll go wash the dishes," Li Lili said, holding a bowl of rice.

“Okay, wife,” Chen Ling replied immediately.

He then ran back to the living room and continued looking at his gaming equipment.

In a short while, Li Lili finished her work and came over.

Li Lili looked at the item in Chen Ling's hand and said, "VR glasses?"

“Yes, let’s use this to connect to the machine and play a couple of rounds,” Chen Ling tempted Li Lili by holding up the glasses in his hand.

Li Lili walked over to Chen Ling and started looking at the game mode.

"Boxing champion, boxing champion, play this!" Li Lili exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay, okay." Chen Ling immediately clicked on it, ready to start playing.

The game ended just like that, with a series of quick clicks.

Chen Ling then said, "You're so skilled, you've played this game before?"

“Yes, I used to play it all the time,” Li Lili said proudly.

When Li Lili was little, she loved playing these games, especially shooting games, which she was very good at.

"Let's play another round," Chen Ling said again. He had just lost and wanted to win.

“Okay, bring it on then, who’s afraid of who?” Li Lili said again.

So, not long after, the game ended again. And once again, Chen Ling lost.

"You're actually quite capable," Chen Ling said, looking at Li Lili.

"That's right. Tell me, what else do you want to play? I'll play a few rounds with you today, and you'll have your fill," Li Lili said domineeringly.

However, seeing Li Lili provoking him, Chen Ling felt even more resentful. He then said, "How about playing Contra? Do you know how to play?" Chen Ling asked smugly.

"Yes, I will," Li Lili said casually.

The two then started playing Contra, and the duel began again. After twenty minutes, Chen Ling lost the game once more.

"Once is bad, twice is bad, but three times is bad. I've actually lost to you three times. I didn't realize you were such a good gamer," Chen Ling said with a smile.

"It's alright, I've only studied it a bit," Li Lili muttered to herself.

"Forget it, let's stop fighting each other and team up to clear the levels," Li Lili suggested. She was mainly worried that continuing to fight like this would damage their relationship.

"Alright then," Chen Ling said casually. So the two of them teamed up again and started clearing levels together, having a great time.

"Quick, quick, come in!" Li Lili said excitedly.

"They're here, watch out behind you," Chen Ling warned. The two of them then had a lot of fun.

"One more round! One more round!" Li Lili shouted excitedly.

Li Lili seemed to have gotten really into the game. Hearing this, Chen Ling quickly started another round, though he was still wondering who was playing with whom. The two played like this for a very long time before finally deciding to take a break. It was Chen Ling who suggested the break.

"My back is a little sore. How about you? Are you tired from playing? Why don't you rest for a while and save your energy for later?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili timidly.

“Okay, I’ll go cut some fruit,” Li Lili said quickly.

After Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately stood up and went to the refrigerator to get some fruit.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling watched Li Lili leave, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "Wow, that's even stronger than me. Terrifying." Chen Ling now regretted suggesting playing the game.

At this moment, Li Lili was in a good mood, humming a song as she cut fruit. Chen Ling, however, was thinking about how to stop playing games. He then decided to call Li Ran, using the excuse of talking to her to avoid playing with Li Lili. So Chen Ling dialed the number, and he kept glancing at Li Lili from time to time.

"Hey, Li Ran, are you busy?" Chen Ling asked immediately after the call connected.

"It's alright. What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong," Li Ran said softly.

"Are you not available to answer the phone?" Chen Ling noticed that Li Ran's voice sounded a bit off, so he asked.

"The baby just fell asleep," Li Ran said cheerfully. Hearing this, Chen Ling had no choice but to hang up the phone. At that moment, Li Lili also arrived.

Li Lili, holding a full plate of sliced ​​fruit, asked, "Whose call is it so late?"

“It’s Li Ran’s,” Chen Ling said quickly.
