"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy some groceries later. You just came back and haven't bought everything yet, right? Let's go downstairs and take a look."

Taoyao really needed to go down and buy some things. Although the house had been decorated in advance, there were still some things missing.

"Okay, then call me later."

Tao Yao returned to the house, which was designed by her. It had a simple, bright and modern style. She went upstairs to paint for a while. She was going to hold an art exhibition when she returned to China this time. She forgot the time as she stayed in the studio with her paintbrush.

When she came out, it was almost twelve o'clock. She had changed into a light blue corseted long skirt and her hair was casually braided into a pigtail.

She had just finished packing when the doorbell rang.

She opened the door and saw what Li Chennian was wearing. She couldn't help but wonder if he had installed cameras in her house.

He was also wearing a light blue shirt, which looked like a matching outfit with her skirt.

"Are you ready? How about we have lunch outside? You just came back and I haven't given you a welcome dinner yet."

Taoyao nodded.

She walked with Li Chennian and took the elevator to the underground garage. Li Chennian's car was a black Cayenne.

Although Tao Yao did not return to China, she often paid attention to domestic news. Li Chennian started his own company, which went public in just a few years. He quickly became a member of the upper class and could be seen in various financial weekly magazines.

Tao Yao was sitting in the passenger seat. She found that there seemed to be something wrong with her seat belt. She tried to fasten it for a long time but failed.

Suddenly, a faint scent of cedar hit her nose. Li Chennian came sideways, his face almost zero distance from her. Tao Yao was frightened by his momentum and wanted to hide, but she had no way to retreat.

Li Chennian supported his arms on her sides, his lips getting closer and closer, Tao Yao felt like her breathing was about to stop, and the next second, his lips brushed against her cheek.

With a click, Li Chennian fastened his seat belt and returned to the driver's seat.

Li Chennian held the steering wheel with one hand, looked sideways at her and talked to her.

"Have you had a boyfriend in the past few years? You're so beautiful, so there must be a lot of people chasing you."

Tao Yao didn't know why he asked this. It was none of his business whether he had a boyfriend or not. She had no time to have a boyfriend in the past few years when she was abroad. She had to go to school, work, and counsel Wen Yiqian in her spare time.

But she didn't want to tell Li Chennian the truth, as that would make it seem like no one liked her.

Tao Yao tilted her head and smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling like stars.

"Yes, I have, and there are more than one. What about you?"

Li Chennian exerted a little force on the steering wheel.

"I haven't. I heard that foreigners are better at that. Have you tried it?"

Tao Yao was choked by his words. What Li Chennian said was all nonsense. When did he become interested in these things?

But since I have already lied, I have to continue to make up stories.

"It's quite powerful, but I haven't experienced men in China, so it's hard to make a comparison."

Li Chennian laughed and stared at her face with fiery eyes.

"Why don't you try me, Wen Yirou? I can satisfy you as well, no worse than foreign men."

Tao Yao was stunned. She didn't know what to do next.

"No need, let's just be friends. Besides, don't you still have Su Ning in your heart?"

After Tao Yao finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at him again. She turned her head to look out the window. Only her crimson earlobes betrayed her nervousness.

The restaurant that Li Chennian booked is a private kitchen. It looks very ordinary from the outside, but there is a large courtyard as soon as you enter. The water lilies in the water tank in the middle of the courtyard are blooming exceptionally well. You can smell a faint lotus fragrance as soon as you come in. There are also small fish in the water tank.

The decoration of the private room is also antique and quite charming. Even the tables, chairs and benches are made of pear wood, and agarwood is burning in the incense burner in the middle of the hall.

Li Chennian pulled out a stool for her and hung her bag on the rack nearby.

"This one is delicious. I come here often. The owner and I know each other."

The table in the box was a large round table, which was a bit empty for two people to eat.

Li Chennian lowered his head and looked at the menu seriously.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you order first."

Li Chennian's dark eyes were like two obsidians, and he looked up at her with lingering tenderness in his eyes.

"Would you like me to go with you? Can you find it?"

Tao Yao shook her head and said, "I can find it. You can order the food."

Tao Yao went out and asked a waiter before finding the restroom. She stood in front of the mirror on the sink and washed her hands. The restroom door opened and two women in luxurious clothes came out.

Tao Yao lowered her head, and when the two women saw her, their faces changed drastically.

"Wen Yirou, you're back from abroad."

Tao Yao heard a familiar voice and looked over. It turned out to be Su Ning and Wu Xue.

Su Ning had exquisite makeup on her face and was wearing a burgundy velvet dress. She had a pretty face and looked even more beautiful with makeup on.

Tao Yao didn't want to deal with these two people. She was cheated by Su Ning and Wu Xue in the past. Now she really didn't want to see them at all.

She had a cold face and took a tissue to wipe her hands.

"Ah."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave. The smile on Su Ning's face froze. She didn't expect to see Wen Yirou here. After the incident five years ago, the two sisters of the Wen family suddenly disappeared from the school.

She had poor grades and barely managed to get a diploma, but fortunately, she had Xie Yun. She now worked as Xie Yun's secretary, and their relationship was relatively stable. However, the Xie family disliked her poor family background and was unwilling to give in.

Recently, Xie's mother even started arranging blind dates for Xie Yun. She had a big fight with Xie Yun because of this matter, and she moved out to live with Wu Xue. Wu Xue's family has some money, and she has lived a comfortable life with her over the years.

Back then, Wu Xue overheard the conversation between the two sisters of the Wen family and told her about it immediately. A terrible idea emerged in her mind. Although Xie Yun did not like Wen Yiqian, he had mentioned to her that Xie's mother was planning to arrange a marriage between Wen Yiqian and him.

She was bewildered for a moment and conspired with Wu Xue to frame the two Wen sisters. Although Wu Xue took the blame for her afterwards and no one suspected her, she always felt a thorn in her heart.

Su Ning poked Wu Xue with her arm, "Wu Xue, why don't you apologize to Wen Yirou quickly."

Wu Xue bit her lower lip unwillingly. It was Su Ning who planned that incident back then. It would have been fine if she had just been made a scapegoat, but now Su Ning wanted her to apologize to Wen Yirou.

She said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood what happened back then."

Tao Yao sneered and looked at the two people in the mirror. She was beautiful. Before she fully bloomed, she was like a delicate rose. Now that she has fully bloomed, her every frown and smile is even more beautiful, which makes people sigh at the partiality of the Creator.

Su Ning looked at her face and felt even more resentful. The two sisters of the Wen family were like vixens. If it weren't for what happened that year, with their looks and scheming, who knows how many crazy men would follow them.
