However, at that moment, after watching Li Lili leave, Liu Yuyang also turned around. But instead of going directly back to his own office, Liu Yuyang went to Chen Ling's office.

"Boss." Liu Yuyang called out as soon as he knocked and entered.

"You're here. Is anything unusual on your end?" Chen Ling asked immediately upon hearing the voice. He recognized Liu Yuyang's voice all too well.

“There’s nothing unusual. I’ve been keeping a close eye on things lately, and I haven’t found anything wrong,” Liu Yuyang said earnestly.

These past few days, Liu Yuyang has been running around the construction site, keeping a close eye on this project. Because the project Liu Yuyang is involved in has come about in a rather strange way, they haven't dared to let their guard down, lest something go wrong with the project.

"That's fine then. You can go ahead and get busy. Keep an eye on things, and make sure nothing goes wrong." Chen Ling nodded and said.

Chen Ling shared the same concerns as Liu Yuyang: things that are too easily obtained are often not as simple as they seem, so Chen Ling was also worried that something might go wrong at some point.

"Okay, I'll get back to work now. I'll contact you as soon as anything comes up," Liu Yuyang said immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, go ahead then," Chen Ling replied.

Then, seeing this, Liu Yuyang started to walk out...

After leaving, Liu Yuyang went straight back to his office and started working. Around lunchtime, he sent Chen Ling a message asking how he planned to have lunch.

Chen Ling replied that he was going out to eat with Li Lili and could consider bringing some food back for him. So Liu Yuyang quickly asked Chen Ling to bring him some food on his way back.

Liu Yuyang had already asked Chen Mengyao last night, and Chen Mengyao said that she had to go to the construction site today, so Liu Yuyang had already planned that the three of them might have lunch together. However, he did not expect that Chen Ling would abandon him for love and neglect his friends.

"Forget it, I still have so many documents to read. I'll save time and skip dinner. I won't join them for dinner." Liu Yuyang muttered to himself at this moment.

Then, after Liu Yuyang finished speaking, he began to work diligently...

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime again. Li Lili and Chen Ling had made plans to go out for lunch together that morning, so after Li Lili finished work at noon, she sent Chen Ling a message asking if he had finished his work.

"Are you done with your work?" Li Lili asked in a text message.

Just then, Chen Ling finished his work and, upon seeing Li Lili's message, immediately picked up his phone to reply...

However, at that moment, Chen Ling finished replying to the message and immediately started tidying up the things on the table, preparing to go back.

Then, Li Lili, who was standing nearby, saw Chen Ling's reply and immediately began packing her things, preparing to go out for dinner.

Then Chen Ling came out and prepared to take Li Lili out.

"So fast!" Li Lili said to Chen Ling with a smile.

"Yeah, I rushed out as soon as I saw your message. How about that? Aren't you touched?" Chen Ling asked with a smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he kept smiling at Li Lili. Only after receiving Li Lili's reply did Chen Ling stop showing off.

"Yes, yes, I'm touched and relieved. Let's go then," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Okay," Chen Ling said immediately upon seeing this.

Then she saw Chen Ling standing to the side, who, while they were talking, had already taken Li Lili's hand and started preparing to walk outside.

"What should we eat today?" Li Lili asked, looking up at Chen Ling.

Then, after hearing what Li Lili said, Chen Ling first smiled faintly, and then said, "Haha, don't think too highly of it. Let's just eat something simple today, okay?"

“Yes, sure,” Li Lili replied immediately.

Then they saw Li Lili and Chen Ling walking outside, and soon they arrived at the company building...

"Let's eat here," Li Lili said to Chen Ling as they passed a small noodle shop.

"Okay, you want noodles? Then let's eat here." Chen Ling, who was standing next to Li Lili, immediately replied after hearing what she said.

Then Chen Ling immediately took Li Lili's hand and started walking towards the noodle shop...

"Hello, this way please." As soon as the shop assistant saw Chen Ling and Li Lili, he immediately stepped forward and came to their side, and began to guide them to find a seat.

"Okay," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

Then they saw Chen Ling and Li Lili and sat down nearby. They quickly ordered two bowls of noodles.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Lili looked up and saw Chen Ling's burning gaze, and immediately asked in surprise.

"It's been so long since we've had some alone time together. Let's take this opportunity to nurture our relationship," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

However, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, was not as happy as before after hearing what Chen Ling said. She asked with dissatisfaction, "Oh, okay, so you want to cultivate feelings with me? Well, I want to ask you, don't we have any feelings for each other? Why do we need to cultivate them?"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, you see, our situation is a bit different from others. It's been a long time since we've gone out to play alone," Chen Ling explained immediately upon seeing this.

Just then, Chen Ling began to blame himself for the wrong thing he had just said, thinking to himself that he really didn't know how to speak properly.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to hear your explanation anymore," Li Lili quickly replied.

"Okay, where should we go tonight?" Chen Ling asked, seizing the opportunity.

"Huh? You still want to play? Where else do you want to go?" Li Lili asked in surprise.

"I don't know either, I haven't decided yet. But are we sure we're not going out today? What's the point then?" Chen Ling said to Li Lili with a pitiful expression.

Then Li Lili said to Chen Ling, somewhat speechless, "Didn't we agree that we'd go out and play tomorrow when we have time off? How about we go hiking tomorrow? Is that okay? Let's go back and get some rest today."

"Why would I climb a mountain? I don't want to climb a mountain. I want to go on a date with you," Chen Ling said, dissatisfied.

Then, Li Lili, upon hearing this, immediately smiled seriously at Chen Ling and said, "I need to correct two points about what you said. First, it was just you and me climbing the mountain, right? Doesn't that count as a date? Second, as long as you're with me, isn't every day a date?"

"What you said isn't wrong, but it's a little different from what I thought," Chen Ling said, pouting.

At this moment, Chen Ling felt a little wronged because he had originally planned to take Li Lili to a romantic place so that the two of them could have a romantic time together. But now, Li Lili wanted to go hiking instead.

“Isn’t hiking great? It would be wonderful if the two of us went together,” Li Lili said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling had a sudden inspiration and immediately said to Li Lili, "Hmm, yeah, I just thought of something. How about we go hiking tomorrow and come back the day after? We can watch the stars on the mountain and then watch the sunrise the next day, okay? That would be wonderful."

After hearing Chen Ling's suggestion, Li Lili thought it was indeed a good idea. So she nodded in agreement.

Then Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, immediately burst out laughing and started looking up the attractions they were going to visit the next day...

"Let's eat first? We can look at that later," Li Lili said to Chen Ling with a smile.

"Mmm, it's okay, I can eat and watch at the same time." Chen Ling quickly replied to Li Lili at this moment.

Then they saw Chen Ling, who was diligently checking tomorrow's weather and where he was going, his face radiating eagerness...

So Li Lili could only eat her meal quietly by herself. Compared to Chen Ling's expression, Li Lili's face was full of "displeasure and boredom".

The meal was almost over. Chen Ling had finished his own tasks and immediately turned his attention back to Li Lili.

Chen Ling picked up his chopsticks, quickly grabbed a piece of meat from the noodles, and held it to Li Lili's mouth...

"Come on, open your mouth." Chen Ling looked at Li Lili and said very gently.

"Huh?" Li Lili, who was standing to the side, was caught off guard by Chen Ling's sudden action and replied in surprise.

Chapter 704 Little Time 1

However, at that moment, Li Lili looked at Chen Ling with some confusion, but she didn't say anything more and just quietly looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ling and Li Lili exchanged glances and quickly started talking.

Then, after Chen Ling finished speaking, he looked at Li Lili, waiting for her to explain what he meant.

"It's alright, it's alright," Li Lili replied with a smile.

Then I saw Li Lili finish speaking and start eating her meal.

Li Lili and the others ate very quickly today; they finished eating in no time.

Then he saw Li Lili and the others finish their meal and immediately head back to the company. Chen Ling thought that if he finished his work early today, he could go home sooner.

Then Chen Ling, who was standing nearby, quickly said to Li Lili, "Let's go back and rest early today so we can set off early tomorrow morning."

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling as soon as she heard this.

"Let's go to the Grand Canyon. We'll head there early tomorrow morning. Climbing is tiring, so we'll rest as we go. It'll probably take a whole day," Chen Ling explained.

"Okay, okay." Li Lili nodded in agreement.

Then Chen Ling and Li Lili walked back to the company, chatting as they went.

"Then you can go ahead and get busy," Li Lili said as soon as they entered the company.

Then Chen Ling nodded to Li Lili and immediately walked back to his office. Li Lili, at the same time, also immediately went back to work.

Busy times always fly by. Li Lili felt like she hadn't finished her work yet, and it was already time to leave. Chen Ling had said he wanted to go back to work and rest early, but given the situation today, it seemed unlikely she could go home early. After all, it was already past closing time.

Then she saw Li Lili standing to the side. After glancing at the door of Chen Ling's office and realizing that Chen Ling hadn't come out, she didn't think much of it and simply went about her own business.

After a while, Chen Ling finally came out of his office. He went straight to Li Lili's side and spoke softly to her.

"Shall we go?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili.

Then, after hearing Chen Ling's voice, Li Lili immediately looked up and said, "How come you walk without making a sound?"

"Why is there no sound? Are you working too hard?" Chen Ling, who was standing nearby, immediately retorted after hearing this.

Then they heard Chen Ling say with a laugh, "Alright, alright, let's go back."

"Okay," Li Lili nodded in agreement.

Then Li Lili packed her things and began preparing to go back.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili as soon as the two of them walked out of the office.

"I ate a bit too much at lunch today, so I'm not really hungry yet. Are you hungry? How about we go back and have something simple to eat tonight? Let's not go out to eat or anything, it's too much of a hassle," Li Lili began to share her thoughts.

"Okay, sure," Chen Ling replied.

Then they saw Li Lili and Chen Ling walking home together. A short while later, they arrived home. Li Lili then cooked two simple dishes, and she and Chen Ling began to eat dinner.

However, at that very moment, Chen Ling's phone rang...

“It’s Mom calling.” Chen Ling glanced at his phone and immediately said to Li Lili.

"Okay, then answer it quickly," Li Lili nodded in response.

Then Chen Ling immediately answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

"Hey, son. Have you eaten yet?" Chen's mother asked immediately after the call was answered.

"Yeah, we're eating now. What about you guys? Have you eaten yet?" Chen Ling asked.
