In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

After Fu Ziyan left, Bai Ying explained what had happened in the past two days.

The doubt and uneasiness in her expression gradually dissipated after she saw how close Miss Fu and Zhang Yuan were getting. Instead, she felt a bit of doubt and guilt towards her benefactor: "Miss Fu donated the machine to me twice. I really don't know how to repay her."

"You did a great job coming to us as soon as you realized something was wrong."

Zhang Yuan took a sip of her tea, and as if she was thinking of something, she smiled softly, "As for Miss Fu's kindness, just keep it in mind, but don't dwell on it too much. I've been with her for the past few days, and I know she's a good, open-minded and easygoing child."

In fact, he didn't take this matter seriously at all. When he saw Bai Ying at Li's house, he even deliberately hid behind her and suddenly appeared to scare her as if to play a prank.

Compared to Zhang Yuan's encouragement and consolation, Li Quyi just nodded and said concisely: "If we meet again in the future, just get along well with each other."

Neither the couple had told Bai Ying the true relationship between the Li and Fu families. It wasn't that they didn't consider Bai Ying a family member and were deliberately hiding it, but rather that the matter was of grave importance. After all, Li Zitao and Bai Ying hadn't officially married yet. Even if they were married, they would have to wait a few years until they had established a stable family before revealing the details.

A secret concerning the family's future cannot be easily told to another person who has no choice but to make a decision just because of the young people's hormonal passion.

Bai Ying naturally wouldn't have guessed that Chief Li, despite his high position, was actually the eldest son of one of Hong Kong's most powerful families, the brother of the renowned Mr. Fu. She subconsciously corrected her assumptions, believing that Ms. Fu was truly helping her out of respect for Zi Tao, or perhaps the Li family.

After saying this, Bai Ying stood up and was about to leave: "Uncle and aunt, it's getting late. I'm going home first. I'll come to see you next time."

Zhang Yuan smiled and stood up, intending to ask the guard in charge of the vehicle at the compound to help take Bai Ying to the nearby subway station. It wasn't a long drive, but it would be difficult for Bai Ying to walk on her own.

As for sending Bai Ying home, Zhang Yuan wouldn't refuse if she just asked. But neither Li Quyi nor Zhang Yuan liked to use public property for personal gain. Dropping her off at the subway station was a short distance, but driving back to the textile factory's residential compound in the city would take quite a while.

Even so, Bai Ying still refused out loud: "It's only a few steps. I can walk there quickly. No need to bother."

Since Tao had told her about her future in-laws' personalities, she wasn't willing to make an exception for something as trivial as walking a few steps. People had to be careful about their interactions. She couldn't take Chief Li's position for granted and take him for granted.

Zhang Yuan didn't listen to her and still asked someone to help her walk a few steps. She smiled gently at Bai Ying and said, "Go ahead. It will be dark if you don't leave now."

When I returned home, I saw Li Quyi still sitting there drinking tea.

Zhang Yuan knew that her leader Li was reluctant to let her brother go. He hadn't seen his brother for several years and it was rare for them to spend a few days together, but now he was leaving again.

She reached out and grabbed the teacup: "If you drink any more, you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Li Quyi lowered his eyes and smiled, letting his wife take the teacup away. He looked at her intently and suddenly said, "Ayuan, I want to eat the mixed tofu you made."

Zhang Yuan burst out laughing: "I make it for you, how come you never get tired of it?"

She has learned to cook many dishes over her life, but for some reason, she just loves this mixed tofu dish.

Li Quyi smiled calmly, his solemn demeanor naturally tinged with a touch of gentleness and tenderness. "You said you'll take care of the rest of my life. I won't break my promise."

Zhang Yuan curled her lips, and in a trance she returned to the base where the flames were flying that year.

The man before her was a sincere and enthusiastic young man at that time. He was clearly still wrapped in bandages to prevent bleeding after the bullet was removed, but he could still smile and say to her, "Look, I'm fine. I said I'll be fine after you finish cooking." Then, as if he didn't feel any pain, he devoured her tofu with scallions, which was cooked with only the remaining hot oil and no seasoning at all.

"When did I break my promise?" Zhang Yuan smiled angrily, but the voice of Li Quyi who said to him seriously that year flashed through her mind.

"Our Comrade Zhang will certainly not break his promise."

The moon shines brightly.

In the evening, when Zhang Yuan finished washing up and returned to her room, she saw her chief Li standing in front of the table, staring at her niece's homework that she was punished to copy. She walked up to him quietly.

Li Quyi's eyebrows did not move at all, but his hand naturally held Zhang Yuan's palm.

"Ziyan's handwriting is really good."

"This calligraphy style was taught by her father himself." Li Quyi said softly.

Zhang Yuan deliberately changed the subject: "In the evening, Bai Ying mentioned that Lu Yan proposed to poach people, and then Zi Yan donated the machine. I thought about the time when Zi Yan came to our house that year. We chatted and ate, and Lu Yan took care of her in every way. They were childhood sweethearts, and they had such a close connection. It was so wonderful. I heard that they broke up, and I felt so sorry for them."

"Young people's affairs, whether it's childhood sweethearts or love at first sight, just follow your heart. Since Ti Ti chose to break up, there must be something wrong with Lu Yan. There's no need to feel sorry, you will always meet someone better."

"The Deng family introduced Deng Yuanfei to Ziyan, but I don't think Ziyan is interested."

Li Quyi snorted softly, "Given Qi Yuan's personality, he wouldn't allow Ti Ti to participate in the marriage. How could his daughter, whom he has pampered and raised, be willing to compromise for the sake of profit? If Ti Ti is interested, then so be it. Ti Ti is indeed worthy of being raised by her father. This child is very smart and seems to love to play and make trouble. Trouble won't come easily to her."

"That's a good thing. I think the Deng family kid has suffered a lot in the past, and now he's focused on scientific research. I'm afraid he's not a good match for Ziyan."

The daughter of the Fu family, the apple of her eye since childhood, had never suffered hardship. If they really agreed to be together, they would probably have to adjust their consumption concepts alone. Although the young master of the Deng family had a good temper, with the daughter of the Fu family's family background, ability, and appearance, there was no problem finding someone who would obey her every command.

Li Quyi tilted his head to look at his wife: "It seems that you really like her."

"I just feel that if we had a daughter, she would probably look like that," Zhang Yuan smiled. "Everyone says you're dignified and steady, with an aura that could scare a child to tears, but I still remember how you looked when we first met. You were also patient and gentle, smiling even without saying a word."

"It's my fault. I couldn't fulfill your wish and let you have a daughter."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "It's our destiny."
