Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

The two were surprised to see Wen Shengsheng, and after a brief conversation, she learned the truth.

Yuming Manor is a property of the Lu family, and it has three phases. Currently, Lu Jie is in charge of it.

Xi Yu had come to see Lu Jie to discuss some business, but unexpectedly, they met by chance.

The Yuming Mountain Villa project is still in the preliminary evaluation stage. This time, they came to ask Yuming Mountain Villa to provide some internal information and to take a tour of the completed first phase.

So the four of them only sat in the office for a short while before going to visit the resort.

The entire first phase of the project consists mainly of wooden Chinese-style buildings, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Seeing so many camellias for the first time, Wen Shengsheng was stunned.

"Does Sheng Sheng like it here?" Lu Jie warmly approached her. "You can have lunch here. The chef they hired is very good. You should try their cooking."

Wen Shengsheng smiled and declined, revealing a hint of distance, "President Lu, you're too kind. I'm on field duty right now, and I have to follow my superiors' instructions throughout."

Lu Jie immediately looked at Ba Wen, "Mr. Ba, please stay and do me the honor."

Ba Wen pretended to be embarrassed: "I have to rush back this afternoon to attend the project review meeting."

“You’re so clueless about romance.” Lu Jie put his arm around his shoulder as if they were brothers, and pointed to Xi Yu next to him, “Young Master Xi is Sheng Sheng’s godbrother. Even if you don’t care about me, you have to care about Young Master Xi. He wants to have dinner with his sister.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yu's gaze swept over.

"I do miss her." His voice was cold, yet it seemed as if an invisible thread was gently entwining him, creating a unique and tender charm.

His eyes were still on Ba Wen, but he stood next to Wen Shengsheng and said in a low voice, "Stay and have a meal."

Wen Shengsheng's scalp tingled; she couldn't believe that Xi Yu had said those words.

After she moved out of the Xi family home, she had less and less contact with Xi Yu, and she never inquired about his situation.

How come he's changed so much in such a short time?

With both wealthy young men urging him to stay, even the thick-skinned Ba Wen couldn't bring himself to refuse.

The four of us had lunch in a private room; it was fusion cuisine, and it was indeed quite delicious.

Lu Jie kept serving food to Wen Shengsheng and showed concern for her from time to time.

Seeing the morning news escalating, Wen Shengsheng had no mood to respond to Lu Jie's enthusiasm and kept glancing at her phone every now and then.

Lu Jie clicked his tongue. "Does your sister not like the food here?"

"It's quite delicious, Mr. Lu." Wen Shengsheng smiled faintly and corrected his form of address.

"No, it must be that the chef didn't cook well today, otherwise why would my sister prefer to look at her phone rather than say a word to me?"

"Uh...no."

Before Lu Jie could say anything more, Xi Yu glared at him sharply, "You haven't been drinking, so why are you drunk, Young Master Lu?"

"It's not the wine that makes people drunk, it's the person who makes them drunk." Lu Jie crossed his legs and glared at Xi Yu resentfully. "Young Master Xi, we grew up together, we know each other inside and out. Why does your family only know how to introduce girlfriends to Li Chuan and not consider me?"

Xi Yu put down his chopsticks, a smile still on his face, but his eyes seemed a little dim.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "You're five years old and you still wet your pants, that's why you have to go around naked. I don't."

"..."

When his embarrassing childhood secret was exposed in public, Lu Jie's face immediately turned red.

Ba Wen found it amusing, looking at the two of them with amusement, before turning to put a piece of food on Wen Shengsheng's plate.

He teased, "Eat more, little sister, or your two brothers will start fighting."

Wen Shengsheng's lips twitched slightly. She excused herself to go to the restroom, washed her face, and temporarily distanced herself from the chaotic scene.

As she returned to her seat, Bavin suddenly handed her her phone.

He said casually, "When you went to the restroom, a mysterious 'period brother' called you three times in a row. He seemed quite anxious."

Wen Shengsheng's face flushed red.

Fearing that her colleagues would discover her connection with Gong Xiaochen, she saved Gong Xiaochen's contact information as a "full stop".

As if to confirm Ba Wen's anxiety, the moment she took the phone, Gong Xiaochen called again.

The bell rang crisply and abruptly, drawing curious glances from everyone.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Wen Shengsheng lowered her head to avoid their gaze, quickly walked out, and found a secluded spot to answer the phone.

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? What were you doing?" Gong Xiaochen's puzzled voice came through the phone.

"Ba Wen and I came to Yuming Manor for a site visit. Young Master Lu treated us to lunch at the manor." She gave a brief summary, then asked, "About that news..."

"Lu Jie?"

“Yes, Lu Jie is in charge of the Yuming Villa project,” Wen Shengsheng said.

Gong Xiaochen fell silent, lost in thought.

Through the microphone, Wen Shengsheng could hear the sound of him lightly tapping the table on the other end of the phone.

"About the news..." Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but ask again.

Gong Xiaochen: "Is the food good?"

Wen Shengsheng: "......"

Why does this person always ask her if the food is good?

"It's alright, I didn't pay much attention."

"So what are you paying attention to?"

Wen Shengsheng's tone became more urgent, "Of course I'm waiting for you to contact me."

"You can't do that," Gong Xiaochen chuckled, sounding quite pleased with himself. "You need to focus on your work and not think about me!"

Wen Shengsheng was speechless. "I'll go back after dinner. Did you call because you need something?"

"Okay, I'm at the company. Go straight to the 28th floor."

"it is good."

Gong Xiaochen's words meant there must be progress on the news, and Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

She had just hung up the phone and was about to return to the private room when she saw Xi Yu, who had appeared at some point, quietly watching her.

"Brother Yu!" Wen Shengsheng was startled.

"You seem surprised to see me. What, am I not supposed to be here?" His tone was somewhat cold.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng was about to leave, Xi Yu had no intention of letting her go.

He reached out and grabbed her arm, asking the question.

Who is the period?

"Nobody, I just made a random note," Wen Shengsheng explained.

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng refused to speak, Xi Yu domineeringly turned her shoulder, making her look directly into his cold eyes, "I need to know who the period is."

His cool and handsome face suddenly drew close, and Wen Shengsheng felt a surge of nervousness, momentarily forgetting to wonder why he cared about this.

She said in a panic, "Oh dear, it's Li Chuan. He's asking around for Ruth about something."

"whats the matter?"

"It's nothing, he was just too anxious," Wen Shengsheng said, pushing Xi Yu away to create some distance between them.

"I'm going back."

Not wanting to have any more contact with him, she quickly walked towards the private room.

Watching Wen Shengsheng's slightly flustered back, Xi Yu curled his lips slightly, but the doubt in his eyes did not completely disappear.
