As always, Jian Yiling was the sweetest and cutest person she knew.

Whenever she looked at Jian Yiling's adorable face, Long Yuetian always had the temptation to kiss her.

If she was a man, she would have fought against Zhai Yunsheng for Jian Yiling's love.

When Cheng Yi returned from his climb, he smiled at Long Yuetian and commented: "Miss Long is quite good at climbing."

Long Yuetian also politely complimented Cheng Yi: "You're not bad either. Also, please don't call me Miss Long. You can call me Yuetian or Sister Yue."

"Awesome. I will call you Yuetian from now on," Cheng Yi replied. Then he asked: "Would you like to try out the more difficult climbing routes later on?"

"I'm up for the challenge."

"Let's take a break first and head over there later."

As Cheng Yi and Long Yuetian chatted, they both had bright smiles on their faces. The two of them seemed to get along quite well.

Luo Xiuen whispered to Jian Yiling: "Even though I've known Cheng Yi for so many years, this is the first time I've seen him be interested in a non-two-dimensional woman. Since we've been colleagues with him for so long, shouldn't we help him out?"

"How do we help him?" Jian Yiling asked. She did not know what to do.

She wasn't even sure how she ended up in her own relationship.

"Umm…" Luo Xiuen started before she trailed off in thought. She had no idea what to do either.

After all, Luo Xiuen was no better than Jian Yiling. In fact, she probably knew less than Jian Yiling when it came to romantic things.

After staring at each other for a while, Luo Xiuen decided to give up. She said to Jian Yiling: "Forget it, let's just silently cheer Cheng Yi on."

If they couldn't do anything to help him, they would only be able to provide him moral support.

Just when Long Yuetian and Cheng Yi were about to head out, Cheng Yi's phone suddenly ran. The Huiling Medical Research Institution contacted him about an emergency situation. This meant he had to go back to deal with it immediately.

Although Cheng Yi did not want to leave, he still had a clear sense of priorities.

And thus, he hurriedly and apologetically said goodbye to Long Yuetian before he rushed back to the Huiling Medical Research Institution in Hengyuan City.

Once Cheng Yi left, Long Yuetian was no longer in a hurry to try out the more difficult rocking climbing route.

She sat down next to Jian Yiling and watched her prepare food.

Out of the corner of her eye, she also glanced at Zhai Zhongshen. He appeared to be talking to someone on the phone. One of his subordinates was also holding a laptop for him to read. He was probably busy with work as always.

Even if he was out with his family, his mind still seemed to be focused on work. Apparently, he lived this life for decades and never gave himself a vacation.

And he did all of this because of the Zhai family. As Long Yuetian thought about this, some strange feelings appeared in her heart.

After eating a few more things, Long Yuetian planned to continue rock climbing.

Before she left, she suddenly received a message from Zhai Zhongshen.

[Let's have a chat.]

As soon as she read this message, Long Yuetian cautiously looked around.

She had to make sure that Jian Yiling and the others were busy with their own things.

Then, Long Yuetian walked over to the nearby reeds.

Zhai Zhongshen was already there waiting for her.

"What's the matter?" Long Yuetian asked.

"Have you gotten used to it?" Zhai Zhongshen questioned. His eyes were hawk-like as he looked at her.

"Gotten used to?" Long Yuetian replied with confusion. She did not know what he meant by those words.

"Spending time with me."

"I… Not so fast… We…"

"Do you need me to do anything else?" Zhai Zhongshen continued.

This question made Long Yuetian even more confused. What did he plan to do? What else was he expecting her to ask?
