Nan Yan looked at the bewildered Chen Hao, sighed softly, and tried to smooth things over, "Miss Lu, what would you like to drink?"

She believed that Chen Hao was an upright person and would not be fickle.

She didn't intend to reveal their thoughts to Chen Hao.

People are selfish.

She didn't want to create two rivals for her love. Chen Hao met her husband's standards, and she wanted to have him all to herself!

Chen Hao nodded slightly and echoed, "Yes, what would you like to drink, Lu? I'll order for you."

Thanks to you for your help last time.

Lu Jiaqi smiled gently, "I wasn't of much help. If you ever have any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me."

A glint of light flashed in Nan Yan's eyes. She looked at Chen Hao and asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Chen Hao replied casually, "It's nothing serious, I just encountered some difficult people when I was getting the documents processed..."

Upon hearing Chen Hao's words, Gu Xinglan quickly added, "From now on, let the Gu family handle these small matters for you."

Nan Yan also chimed in, "I will send Nan's employees to work at your company."

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nan Yan and replied with a smile, "There's no need to go to so much trouble. It's just a small company, why would we need Nan's elites here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Xinglan and thanked her, "Sister Lan, thank you for your kindness, but it's really not necessary."

His company is just starting out, and he plans to expand his workforce after he graduates.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "We're engaged, there's no need to be so formal. Helping you is the right thing to do."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xinglan.

Gu Xinglan looked at her meaningful glance, then lowered her head and remained silent.

They are engaged, so it's only right for Nan Yan to help him. What right does she have to help him?

Noticing his sister's low spirits, Gu Xingzhou quickly explained, "Brother Hao, this is a company we work for together, so it's only right that the Gu family send people."

He seemed to have vaguely discovered something extraordinary: his sister had fallen for someone else.

Seeing that both of them could lend a hand, Lu Jiaqi panicked for a moment, then shouted, "Chen, if you need someone, I can run errands for you too!"

Her family doesn't run a business, so they don't have employees to help them, but she can be used as an employee!

Chen Hao belatedly looked at the three women vying to help him and gave a wry smile. "I really don't need your help. It's just a small business."

She then turned to look at Gu Xingzhou, blinked, as if to say, "Come and help."

Gu Xingzhou understood and quickly interrupted, "Brother Hao, your engagement banquet with Nan Yan is on June 20th?"

"Yes." Chen Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Jiaqi and gently invited, "Lu, if you have time, come and visit."

Lu Jiaqi nodded listlessly, "Okay, I will definitely come."

It's cruel to watch the person you're attracted to marry someone else.

She didn't want to go, but she couldn't help wanting to get closer to him!

Well, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe by then her feelings for Chen Hao will have faded.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan's eyes darkened. She stood up and said calmly, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You two can continue your conversation."

Leaving abruptly was so impolite that Gu Xingzhou could only cover for Gu Xinglan, who left without hesitation.

He gave Chen Hao an awkward smile, "Brother Hao, my sister has something to do at the company, so I'll have to go first. Don't mind."

We will definitely attend your engagement party.

Chen Hao didn't take it to heart. He remembered something and turned to look at Gu Xingzhou, "Your coming-of-age ceremony is on the 10th?"

"Yes, the invitations will be sent out in the next few days. Brother Hao, you absolutely have to come." Gu Xingzhou looked at Chen Hao excitedly.

The coming-of-age ceremony is very important to him, and he hopes that Hao Ge can attend.

Chen Hao nodded slightly. "Don't worry, of course I'll go."

In this life, he would naturally attend his only good friend's coming-of-age ceremony, and even prepare a grand gift for him.

"Um, Gu, can I go?" Lu Jiaqi asked softly.

Although she knew she had no chance, she still wanted to get closer to Chen Hao.

"Of course, I'll send you an invitation tomorrow," Gu Xingzhou replied with a smile.

The group chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Chen Hao looked at Nan Yan and Lu Jiaqi, "I'll take you back."

"Okay, thank you, Chen," Lu Jiaqi replied shyly.

He has a fiancée and should stay away from him, but she just can't help wanting to get closer to him.

Nan Yan glanced at the composed Chen Hao, her lips pursed, and she said with a hint of petulance, "No need to see me off, the driver will pick me up."

Gu Xingzhou glanced at the subtle exchange among the group and cautiously asked, "Brother Hao, I'll take Lu home for you, and you take Miss Nan home."

Being too popular isn't good either; you might accidentally cause trouble at home.

Even the slow-witted Chen Hao noticed that Nan Yan was angry. He turned to Lu Jiaqi and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Lu, could Xingzhou take you home?"

Lu Jiaqi smiled and replied softly, "Okay, you go and take your fiancée home. Don't worry about me."

Even though it hurt her heart, she still had to put on a smile and see them off.

She stood there for a long time, watching until she could no longer see the two of them, before the smile on her lips slowly faded.

Then, turning to Gu Xingzhou beside him, he said calmly, "Gu, you can go back now. My driver will be here to pick me up soon."

Gu Xingzhou did not refuse and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll leave after you get in the car."

Since he had promised Brother Hao, he had to watch Lu Jiaqi get into the car safely before he could leave.

A moment later, Lu Jiaqi turned around and got into the car.

Chen Hao, sitting in the back seat of the car, looked at Nan Yan beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Nan Yan, are you angry?"

Nan Yan gently shook her head, "I'm not angry anymore."

Getting angry at a slow-witted person is simply a sign of being unable to see the bigger picture.

After figuring it out, she let it go.

Chen Hao looked up and met Nan Yan's eyes. "Then why were you angry just now?"

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't understand why Nan Yan was angry.

Because he invited his friends to have coffee together?

But she clearly agreed.

If you can't figure it out, just ask.

Looking into his bewildered eyes, Nan Yan smiled helplessly and casually replied, "Girls always have a few days each month when they're in a bad mood. It's nothing serious."

Chen Hao nodded knowingly, "That's good. Remember not to eat ice..."

Hearing his instructions, Nan Yan's resentment dissipated considerably, and she nodded with a smile, "I understand."

Chen Hao's gaze then fell on the mask on her face, and he asked in confusion, "Do you still need to wear a mask?"

"What, do you want to tell the whole world that I'm beautiful? Or do you mind that I'm ugly?" Nan Yan asked unreasonably.

Chen Hao replied in a low voice, "How could that be? It's just that you showed your face today, and everyone knows you're not ugly."

Wearing a mask seems a bit redundant.
