Inside the coffee shop, the rich aroma of coffee wafts from the cup, lingering like a melodious piece of music. This aroma, seemingly alive, dances lightly, wafting into our noses and captivating our hearts. Like a gentle hand, it caresses our souls, bringing a sense of tranquility and comfort. This aroma not only awakens the taste buds but also captivates us, enchanting us with its unique atmosphere.

Xiao Jingmo's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. He casually opened the conversation, his words falling like feathers. "Qingyu, I've heard some amazing stories about medicine lately. Do you have any insights into this field? Your Yumo Group specializes in herbal medicine." His eyes locked with Zhao Qingyu, trying to catch a clue from every subtle expression on her face.

Zhao Qingyu's face was as calm as a lake, without a single ripple. She raised her eyes slightly, her gaze clear and resolute, as if it could penetrate anyone's heart. Her tone was a touch cold and distant, as she replied indifferently, "Jing Mo, you're such a joke! You know the Yumo Group only develops herbal medicines, and I don't know how to cure illnesses and save lives." Her voice was cold, like a winter wind, icy and biting, yet devoid of any emotion.

Xiao Jingmo didn't give up. He leaned forward slightly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Qingyu, you can't say that. Herbal medicine and medical skills are closely related. You have put a lot of effort into this field. How can you not have any insights?"

Zhao Qingyu frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. "Jing Mo, I said I don't understand and that's it. Yumo Group is only responsible for the cultivation, research and development, and sales of herbal medicine. As for medical skills, that's the doctors' domain and has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Jingmo sat up straight, with a faint smile still on his lips. "Qingyu, don't be so nervous. I'm just chatting casually, not questioning you."

Zhao Qingyu turned her head away and looked out the window, no longer looking at Xiao Jingmo. "Jingmo, if you just want to talk about medicine, then I think we have nothing to talk about."

Xiao Jingmo looked at Zhao Qingyu's profile, and his doubts grew even more intense. He didn't understand why Zhao Qingyu was so resistant to the mention of medical skills. Was she really hiding something? But he also knew that he couldn't push too hard at this moment, otherwise it would only make Zhao Qingyu more disgusted.

"Okay, Qingyu, since you don't want to talk about medicine, let's talk about something else." Xiao Jingmo said in a relaxed tone.

Zhao Qingyu then turned around, her expression slightly softened. "Okay, what shall we talk about?"

Xiao Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we talk about your Yumo Group's recent development plans?"

A glint flashed in Zhao Qingyu's eyes, and she began to talk about the future development direction of Yumo Group. Xiao Jingmo listened while secretly observing Zhao Qingyu's expression, but he still couldn't let go of his doubts about the relationship between her and medical skills.

Zhao Qingyu's words drifted through the air like a gentle breeze. The faint smile on her lips, like a flower blooming in spring, carried a hint of warmth and hope. Her eyes gleamed with curiosity, a glimmer like a brilliant star, illuminating her inner thirst for new stories and knowledge.

Xiao Jingmo was slightly startled, his eyes lingering on Zhao Qingyu's face for a moment. He could sense her anticipation, and also sense her subtle attempt to change the subject. However, his heart was still filled with doubts about Zhao Qingyu. He wondered what she was hiding? Why was she so sensitive about the topic of medical skills?

Zhao Qingyu took in Xiao Jingmo's reaction, and she knew clearly in her heart that Xiao Jingmo was testing her. But she was not panicked, because she had originally planned to confess everything to him. In her opinion, this matter would have to be faced sooner or later, and rather than let Xiao Jingmo suffer in suspicion, it would be better to be honest with him. She believed that the relationship between them was deep enough to withstand this test.

Xiao Jingmo's heart was filled with conflict. He could have directly asked Zhao Qingyu to solve the mystery in his heart. But he was afraid that this would damage their relationship, after all, they had been through so much together. He chose a roundabout way, carefully testing the waters, hoping to find the answer without damaging their relationship.

Zhao Qingyu understood Xiao Jingmo's caution. She knew he was doing this to protect their relationship. Although she hoped to resolve the matter as soon as possible, she also understood Xiao Jingmo's concerns. She didn't want to embarrass him or strain their relationship.

Despite all her doubts and anxieties, Zhao Qingyu didn't feel dissatisfied or angry. She knew Xiao Jingmo had deep feelings for her, and his probing was simply out of concern and worry for her. After all, the two had known each other for so long, and she thought they had built enough trust to be honest with each other. But now it seemed that more communication and understanding were needed.

She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She decided to find a suitable time to confess everything to Xiao Jingmo. She believed that as long as they trusted and understood each other, they would be able to overcome this difficulty.

Xiao Jingmo's heart sank slightly, and he became more and more certain that Zhao Qingyu must be hiding some important secret. Her reaction was too calm, so calm that it felt unnatural. However, Xiao Jingmo also knew that he couldn't push too hard at this moment. He was like an experienced hunter who knew that once the prey was frightened, it would escape without a trace.

He took a sip of coffee, a smile playing on his lips, and followed Zhao Qingyu's lead in discussing books. But in his heart, he couldn't stop wondering: what exactly made Zhao Qingyu so reluctant to talk about medicine? Did she have a past she couldn't reveal? Or was she embroiled in a mysterious incident? Countless questions swirled in Xiao Jingmo's mind, like a lingering fog.

The sun gradually set, and their conversation unknowingly drew to a close. Xiao Jingmo watched Zhao Qingyu's departing figure, the mystery in his heart growing heavier. He secretly made up his mind to uncover Zhao Qingyu's secret, even if the process was full of difficulties and obstacles.

The setting sun shone through the window, warm and gentle, upon them. They sat there, silent, each with a thousand words in their hearts. The road ahead was long, and they still had many challenges to face together. But they firmly believed that as long as there was love and trust in their hearts, no difficulty was insurmountable.
