A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Chi Ruiche glanced at his watch. "It's almost time. I have a meeting this afternoon."

"Yes, I also need to revise the contract. We'll arrange the formal signing another day."

Lu Haotian also felt that it was about time, so he stood up as well.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the waiter escorted them to the door, where several cars were waiting.

"Young Master, the arranged car has arrived," Uncle Wang said respectfully.

"Everyone had a few drinks at noon, so I'll take you back to the company."

Chi Ruiche gestured for them to sit in the last van and arranged for a driver to take them back to the company.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Chi." The three boys thanked him without hesitation, got into the car, and left.

Seeing the person leave, Lü Haotian walked to Jiang Yi's side: "Little Si is back. Has he been following the boss the whole time?"

“Abu isn’t in Xijing, and you’re busy with work every day. Only Che is willing to keep me company.” Jiang Yi’s words carried a hint of coquetry as she complained to Lü Haotian.

Chi Ruiche frowned, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yi. "Let's go."

Jiang thought of something, "Che, you should go back to the company first. Second brother, you shouldn't be busy, could you take me somewhere?"

She knew that Chi Ruiche was very busy every day and she couldn't hold him back any longer.

“Okay.” Chi Ruiche glanced at Lü Haotian. “I’ll have Uncle Wang go with you.”

"No need, Second Brother is here."

Jiang Yi thought she saw disappointment in Chi Ruiche's eyes. Was it just her imagination? After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then I'll get ready. Come pick me up."

"Okay." After saying that, Chi Ruiche left, and Uncle Wang nodded to them before driving away.

"Where are we going, and why do we have to avoid Che?"

Lu Haotian watched the two of them go back and forth, his eyes filled with reluctance.

“It’s not about avoiding him.” Jiang Yi shook his index finger. “Second Brother, could you take me to Wanmao Plaza?”

Lu Haotian looked puzzled. "What are you keeping me in suspense?"

"Keep it a secret." Jiang Yi smiled slyly, and for the first time, Lü Haotian felt like he was being bossed around.

After getting into the car, Jiang Yi noticed a cushion that seemed a bit out of place with the interior decor: "Second Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

"So young, and already so gossipy?" Lu Haotian put the cushion behind him.

"When are you going to bring it to me to take a look?" Jiang Yi said mischievously, raising his eyebrows.

When are you going back to New Zealand?

Lu Haotian asked a question that none of them would ask: he didn't believe that Jiang Yi had returned so easily.

"Who said I was going back?"

Jiang Yi stopped looking at him and gazed at the scenery outside the window; in fact, she herself was avoiding the question.

"Okay, I've said too much."

Seeing Jiang Yi's dissatisfaction, Lü Haotian quickly apologized, "Your second brother will pay for your expenses today."

"Then thank you in advance, Second Brother." Lü Haotian still coaxed her like he did when she was a child, buying her everything she wanted.

Wanmao arrived quickly. Before Lü Hao could get out of the car, Jiang Yi said, "Second Brother, you go ahead and do your work. You don't need to keep me company. As for expenses, you can pay for them later."

After saying that, he casually closed the car door and drove away.

Lu Haotian didn't stop him. He watched Jiang Yi leave and then left too. He just glanced at the pillow and said unhappily.

"Next time, deal with all of these things."

"Yes! If Miss Liu asks..." Uncle Liu, the driver, couldn't quite figure it out.

"What do you think?"

Lu Haotian looked at Uncle Liu with a sharp smile, and Uncle Liu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Yes, I was being nosy," Uncle Liu said, not daring to say anything more.

Lu Haotian stroked the spot where Jiang Yi had just been, still warm from the touch. "I'm not going to the company. I'm going to Shiya's."

"Yes." Uncle Liu obeyed the instructions and made a U-turn at the traffic light intersection, changing direction.

Jiang entered Wanmao and, with the help of navigation on his phone, found Xifan Dessert Shop on the first floor.

Hello, welcome.

"Hello, do you offer DIY cake making services?" Jiang Yi asked the salesperson.

"Yes, you can choose your style here. We have dedicated staff to provide excellent service, so you don't have to worry about the finished product at all."

The sales clerk gestured for Jiang Yi to come over and choose the style she needed.

Jiang Yi followed behind and was led to a special area by the salesperson. Fortunately, there were staff members to guide her. She could also choose the cake base and cream from the store and have them color-matched according to her needs.

Since injuring her hand, Jiang Yi has been practicing using both hands. She spent a long time learning how to hold chopsticks and a pen. When she was able to write her name well, she knew that all her efforts were worthwhile.

Jiang Yi carefully spread the cream evenly, and then added color decorations according to her own preferences.

Chi Ruiche immediately got to work upon returning to the company, saying, "I'm canceling tonight's cocktail party."

"What about the board of directors?" Lin Kai knew that the evening after the board meeting would be the usual cocktail party.

Chi Ruiche did not answer, but went into his office and began to look through the documents on his desk.

Lin Kai closed the door helplessly. President Chi had really changed these past two days, constantly compressing his working hours just to squeeze out a few hours.

Jiang Yi looked at the cake she had made for the first time. She had done it all herself, inside and out. Although it couldn't compare to a professional cake, it still looked good. It had the words "Happy Birthday, Grandpa" written on it.

Jiang Yi took a photo and sent it to Chi Ruiche with satisfaction. Only then did Chi Ruiche remember that it was Grandpa Jiang's birthday and he also arranged for Lin Kai to prepare a gift.

As soon as Jiang Yi sent the message, Chi Ruiche called, and the little girl answered happily.

"Is President Chi finished with his work?" Jiang glanced at the time; sure enough, time flew by while he was busy.

"Just come out, Uncle Wang is waiting for you." Chi Ruiche had already arranged a driver and was just waiting for Jiang Yi.

"it is good."

Jiang Yi wasn't surprised how Chi Ruiche knew. She took the cake, paid the bill, and left, saying, "See you later."

"Ah."

Chi Ruiche felt much better after putting down his phone; the words in the proposal in front of him seemed to dance like musical notes, no longer dull.
