"Where are you going?"

"Just downstairs."

Qi Yantou waved his hand without saying anything.

Chen watched her walk into the elevator with the documents in his arms, then glanced at the president's office behind him.

I guess... I don't need to report it, right?

There is a coffee shop on the corner opposite Shen's Building. Due to its location, this coffee shop has very good business and most of the customers are Shen's employees.

There are fewer office workers buying coffee at this time, but you can still see some familiar faces within the group occasionally.

After politely greeting the few people who recognized her and refusing their offers to buy her coffee, Qi Yan walked to the inner room and sat down by the window.

"Our Yanyan is so popular wherever she goes."

The man sitting opposite her spoke in an ambiguous tone.

"Who is from your family?"

Qi Yan raised his eyelids to look at him. The man in front of him was dressed neatly as usual, with a smile on his tough and refreshing face, and his righteousness was a little bit more ruffian.

"You are not from my family," Pei Yuchen agreed with her, "I am from your family."

"..."

This time Qi Yan did not refute. The Pei family was the most loyal supporter of the Qi family. The same went for Pei Yuchen. Even if he did not marry her, he would be tied to the Qi family for the rest of his life.

"Is that what you came here to tell me?"

"No."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me now, don't waste time."

Qi Yan crossed his arms, his patience running out at a rapid rate.

"I haven't seen you for a long time." Pei Yuchen suddenly blurted out.

He lowered his eyes and counted: "Counting the time, it has been almost four years since we last met and had a good talk..."

Pei Yuchen stirred his coffee and smiled bitterly at her: "Is talking to me a waste of time?"

"..."

"Are we still friends?" he asked.

Qi Yan pursed her lips and replied: "Of course."

Apart from the engagement, they are good comrades-in-arms and childhood friends, and there is no need to make their relationship so awkward.

"Do you hate me?" Pei Yuchen asked.

"I don't hate you," Qi Yan raised her eyes, "You should know that I rarely hate anyone."

Her expression seemed to be asking Pei Yuchen "What a stupid question." Qi Yan's likes and dislikes were too indifferent. It was difficult to like her, and it was equally difficult to dislike her.

"That's good if you think so."

Pei Yuchen's smile was less bitter, and he said, "After we go back, I will be your adjutant to assist you. If you hate me, then it will be too painful for us to work together."

In his heart, he was thankful that Qi Yan was a calm person, but as soon as he said this, Qi Yan's mood changed visibly.

"Adjutant? Who means?"

"The elders' council decided, and the head of the family had no objection," Pei Yuchen said.

"You?"

Qi Yan spoke suddenly.

"Me?" Pei Yuchen paused, probably because he didn't expect her to ask that. "I think there is no problem with the arrangement."

She frowned, "No problem? Your troops don't care? What about the achievements you've made over the years?"

"..."

Pei Yuchen was in a trance for a moment, holding the coffee cup tightly, and smiled for a long time.

"You know...Qi Yan, I'll be wherever you are."

His words had a double meaning. One was that it was what his heart desired, and the other was that he was born to revolve around Qi Yan.

"I do not know."

Qi Yan didn't listen to his double entendre, perhaps she was really angry, she clenched her fists and knocked on the table twice, saying with stern eyes.

"Pei Yuchen, I paved the way for you when I left. I asked you to join the army, so that you would not only be around the Qi family, but also around me."

"I give you freedom, and now you tell me you want to give up everything to become my adjutant?"

"Do you think I need you?"

The shackles imprison more than one person, and those who escape are left with a way to live.

"..."

Pei Yuchen stared at her in anger for a long time, until Qi Yan's face changed, and then he spoke slowly.

"Young Master, you are so kind to me, but unfortunately..."

Too bad, I just don’t like him.

Pei Yuchen couldn't help but envy Shen Rao again. Why did he...

"Don't call me that outside," Qi Yan frowned, "Go and reject the Elders Council and stay safely in your army."

"No, even if the elders agree, the Pei family will not agree."

Pei Yuchen smiled and said, "I was born for you."

"..."

Qi Yan was silent, looking at his smiling face, and said coldly: "You are older than me."

He is two years older than her, why should he give birth to a child for her?

"Do not conflict."

Qi Yan took a breath and said, "Is this your decision? Give up the outside world and return to the Qi family? If it is your decision, I respect your choice. If not..."

She spoke more slowly afterwards, Pei Yuchen was curious: "If not, would the young master fight against the Elders Council for me?"

Qi Yan looked at him with cold eyes, but her words were warm: "I will take you out."

"This is my compensation for breaking my engagement."

Before Pei Yuchen had time to be happy, he was brought back to reality by the second half of the sentence.

He raised his eyebrows helplessly: "There are few people like you in the world."

If you owe someone something, you must make up for it, even if the extent of the debt will be ignored by ordinary people.

Qi Yan applied her set of principles and standards almost rigidly, which was impeccable and she rarely made mistakes. She had never made any mistakes in the Qi family, which had complicated rules.

I have lived for more than twenty years and there is nothing to blame except the breakup of the engagement four years ago.

This is the most convincing and perfect successor.

Irreplaceable people.

Pei Yuchen thought.

"I volunteered to be your adjutant. They hadn't thought of this at first, but I asked the Pei family to bring it up at the elders' meeting."

Pei Yuchen narrowed his eyes, and a few smile lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Compared to walking my own path, I really want to walk with you, Young Master."

Qi Yan, with an unclear look in his eyes, loosened his fists, and his tone was neither sad nor happy.

"So, you came here today to tell me that you found a 'job'?"

"Do you want me to throw you a party to celebrate?" she said sarcastically.

"Thank you for your kindness, but..."

Pei Yuchen's smile did not diminish: "I just informed you in advance about the adjutant's matter. I came here for something else. I think you should have guessed it."

He pushed a stack of paper materials in front of Qi Yan, completely changing his previous hipster attitude.

"We have rescued Duan Pengpu's family. There are no casualties. His wife and children suffered minor injuries and are now recuperating in the hospital. Duan Pengpu has also cooperated in giving out the person behind the scenes. This is his oral list."

At this time, the waiter brought the coffee over, and the rich aroma of the coffee mixed with the smell of ink on the paper.

Qi Yan flipped it twice before withdrawing his hand.

Pei Yuchen continued, "We are still in the evidence collection stage. New personnel have been sent from above. I don't think it will take much time."

"It's time to wrap up." Qi Yan said lightly.

"Yes."

"You don't have to come and tell me this."

Qi Yan glanced at the steam coming out of the coffee and didn't move. "Even if you don't tell me, I will know it soon."
