Li Xilian had originally wanted Han Qiu to go back to her own home and rest for a few days, instead of looking at the documents. She sat in the back seat, looking back at the increasingly familiar road conditions, until the hovercraft arrived at its destination, her thoughts confirmed.

This looks like my home?

"You..." Li Xilian was about to speak up to stop Han Qiu from getting off the car when she caught a glimpse of Han Qiu looking pitifully at her sparkling eyes. "...Forget it, get off the car."

As soon as Han Qiu got out of the car, he changed his shoes as if he was back home, walked to the sofa, sat down, and turned on the TV.

Li Xilian looked at her with a complicated expression, wondering whose home this was.

"Um...why don't you go wash up first? You're already sick, I'll find you some clothes to change into." Li Xilian said as he walked towards the room.

She thought that since the two of them were pretending to be a loving couple, it seemed okay to let them stay overnight.

Han Qiu nodded and dragged her tired body into the bathroom. When she came out of the shower, she found Li Xilian standing at the door with a set of pajamas.

"Change now. I'll wash your clothes." Li Xilian handed the clothes to Hanqiu. She had just walked around the house and realized that her aunt didn't seem to be there. She checked her phone and found that she had asked her mother for leave to attend a relative's wedding. Li Xilian put away her phone, checked the ingredients in the refrigerator, and asked, "It seems that her aunt took a day off today. It's just the two of us at home. What do you want to eat?"

“I want to eat seafood!”

Li Xilian responded, and when she waited for the others to change their clothes, she remembered that since there were only two of them at home, they shouldn't pretend, right?

I'm really used to it.

After Hanqiu changed her clothes and smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen, her stomach growled. She walked to the kitchen door and watched Li Xilian busy at work, feeling an indescribable warmth in her heart.

Han Qiu chose a seat close to Li Xilian, sitting on a chair in the restaurant not far away, staring at Li Xilian's profile as she cooked seriously. Li Xilian's body stiffened slightly, and when she turned around, she saw someone laughing foolishly for no apparent reason.

She turned her head and tried not to pay attention to the gaze that could not be ignored, but the man's gaze remained the same.

Li Xilian's cooking movements inevitably became tense, and she couldn't help but turn around and glare at the man again. "Be careful, don't act so recklessly just because my mother and the others are away. Now that no one's home, we don't need to pretend to be a couple."

After she had threatened Han Qiu with her harsh words, she hummed and focused on cooking. She didn't know why she had to cook for Han Qiu! As she thought about it, she couldn't help but grumble.

Han Qiu smiled ingratiatingly and walked into the kitchen. "Ms. Li, thank you for your hard work. I asked you to do all this for me." She spoke carefully, as if she had done something wrong. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was so used to it that I couldn't help but look at you."

Li Xilian twitched his lips and didn't answer.

Han Qiu was sensible enough not to disturb her any further, but just stood quietly by the kitchen and watched.

By the time Li Xilian had collected the sauce, the last dish of braised prawns was ready.

"Let's eat"

As Li Xilian finished speaking and brought the last dish to the table, Han Qiu still stood there, not daring to move.

"I don't blame you, come and eat," Li Xilian said helplessly, scooping up the rice for both of them and putting it on the table. "If you don't eat now, the food will get cold and won't taste good."

Han Qiu sat obediently at the dining table. The two sat opposite each other and began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.

After the meal, Li Xilian didn't ask her to clear the table but just sent her to the guest room to rest.

When Li Xilian wiped her wet hands and went upstairs, she saw the man with his eyes wide open, using a holographic computer to edit documents in his bedroom.

Li Xilian hardened his fists. This guy is really enough!

I just got back from the hospital, and I haven't fully recovered yet, but I'm already back at work. I remember the doctor repeatedly told me to get more rest, but this guy, after dinner, couldn't wait to come back and edit documents. It's really speechless!

Haha, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to let her eat. I should have just let her wash the dishes. Now, I'm worried about this person for no reason, and I have to worry about her health. What's the point?

snort!

Li Xilian walked over angrily but hesitated for a moment. They were not that familiar with each other. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

So when he walked to Han Qiu's side, his momentum had weakened.

Just as he was about to eat something, a holographic screen was pushed in front of him. Han Qiu excitedly leaned in and pointed at a string of data. "Lianlian, look, I've discovered another characteristic of the NYII energy crystal. Its energy is higher quality than ordinary energy conversion. It can provide better protection. There's no need to worry about the dangers of uploading human consciousness into the game."

As Li Xilian listened intently, he leaned his head against her shoulder. His bony fingers moved, flicking across the holographic computer before tapping a few times. "This and this are much more effective than any known crystal. While NYII crystals are more expensive than other crystals, their safety and operational value far outweigh the expense."

"So we can go shopping, Lianlian, what do you think?" Han Qiu looked up at her, his tone still lingering with excitement.

Li Xilian looked at her, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. Is this person really dedicated to the project or something?

...Li Xilian's eyes were a little dazed, but then he regained his composure.

It turns out that she should see a psychologist. Sometimes she really doesn't understand Han Qiu. When she said she liked her when they first met and asked her to work together, Li Xilian naturally didn't believe it.

After all, Hanqiu's wealth was even greater than the Li family's, so he knew even more people. It was a bit strange, the way Hanqiu felt about me right now was strange, and of course there was a little bit of affection for me that even Li Xilian didn't notice.

But Han Qiu came to Li Xilian to give her money and she didn't refuse.

"Well, it can be considered. But we still need to study its stability and sustainability." Li Xilian said lightly.

"Okay! Leave it to me, I will study it carefully! I will try my best to help Lianlian make money and make Lianlian happy." Han Qiu smiled and nodded, with a dazzling light flashing in his eyes, like a bright star, exuding endless charm.

Li Xilian felt burned for a moment, then quickly turned off her holographic computer and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed." After saying that, she didn't dare to look at him again and just avoided him.

Han Qiu's lips curled up even more, and she walked out with a smile. "That's enough for today. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will backfire."

The black wristband on her wrist beeped a few times, bringing Hanqiu back to her senses.

Han Qiu then stopped smiling and shifted his gaze from the bedroom door to his watch.

"explain?"

"Sir, I'm so bored. When are we going to the place you mentioned?" The familiar voice of the system came.

"Oh," Han Qiu said coldly, with a serious face, completely different from her previous smiling expression. "I'll take you there now."

Golden divine power overflowed and covered the entire watch.

Before the system could say anything, a dizzying suction force immediately crushed it and compressed it and transmitted it directly.

System: Ah!! Double standard bitch!!!
