Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

"You two seem to be having a good chat."

Min Moyou walked slowly with his hands behind his back, causing Yao Yao to lose her composure.

Min Moyou was already very charming – in Yao Yao's eyes, the thoughtful Min Moyou noticed her poor predicament and offered to pay for her bill, which perfectly highlighted Min Moyou's good character and immediately won Yao Yao's heart.

Mr. Min is truly a wonderful gentleman...

It's a pity, if it weren't for Yao Yao...

Yao Yao glanced at Yu Bing first, a hint of loneliness and envy flashing in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing first suspected that Min Moyou had overheard her coercive and enticing attempts to recruit Yao Yao. The so-called "having a good chat" might have been Min Moyou's way of mocking her for overestimating her abilities and failing to recruit Yao Yao.

Minmo Youke didn't mean much; he just wanted to casually throw in a sentence to join the conversation.

Yu Bing sensed that he meant it, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Yao Yao immediately put on her signature sweet smile and nodded affirmatively to Min Moyou:

"Wow! Sister Yubing is amazing! She knows everything! She told me so many interesting things about the piano!"

"Is that so? That's good. She never tells me anything interesting."

Seeing this, Min Moyou didn't understand why the two were unwilling to talk about what had just happened, but she didn't care and just went along with it.

Yao Yao thought that perhaps she would never dare to hope for love in her life, and besides, Mr. Min and Ms. Yu Bing were already engaged... Yao Yao decided not to cause trouble for herself and wished Mr. Min and Ms. Yu Bing well.

Yao Yao should have disappeared from Mr. Min's sight as soon as possible...?

Ms. Yubing doesn't seem to want to tell Mr. Min about her desire to recruit Yaoyao.

Although I don't know why, I think it's best if Yaoyao doesn't stay here and cause trouble.

"Hey... Mr. Min, I'm so sorry about tonight! I originally planned to treat you... but it seems you ended up paying for it... I'm so, so sorry!"

Before Min Moyou could say anything, Yao Yao continued speaking on his own:

"Yaoyao will definitely work harder next time! Next time, Yaoyao will definitely get lots of Jiufang coins to treat Mr. Min to another good meal, the kind that Yaoyao pays for! It'll be more!"

"Now, it's a bit late... You should catch your breath, or you should go find me."

"Wow! Yao Yao has already eaten every last skewer, not a single bit wasted!"

"So, Yaoyao might have to go first now."

Yao Yao stood up and bowed slightly to Min Moyou. He finished speaking at length, somewhat uneasy, wanting to leave but not daring to, seemingly waiting for Min Moyou's response.

The moon is beautiful tonight; the big, white moon sways and dazzles Min Moyou.

Yu Bing was dismissive of Yao Yao's farewell speech—still not giving up? Already planning the next opportunity to be alone with Min Moyou? Not even bothering to act?

What? You're unwilling to accept my offer of recruitment because you think my Yu family is inferior to his Min family?

Little did she know, Yao Yao knew nothing about the Yu and Min clans, and she even tried her best to restrain the development of her feelings for Min Moyou.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

"If you need any help, feel free to contact me."

Min Moyou's words brought the evening's gathering to a close, and Yao Yao felt relieved to hear that Min Moyou had no intention of keeping her.

I don't know why, but I feel increasingly nervous around Mr. Min...

"Okay! Goodbye, Mr. Min!"

Yao Yao smiled, waved to Mr. Min, and turned to leave.

If they don't leave soon, Yao Yao will almost be unable to resist staying by Mr. Min's side...

Yao Yao had only taken a few steps when Yu Bing also got up from the small plastic stool that was completely out of place for her.

She felt her energy had recovered somewhat—should she go to the two Yu family businesses again to inquire about her second grandfather's whereabouts? And perhaps take a look around as well.

Min Moyou seemed to have seen through her little scheme, and before Yu Bing could say that she wanted to visit two more industries, she spoke up in advance:

"Let's go back and rest too."

"You're not allowed to even think about inspecting the industries or anything like that. If you dare to have such a thought..."

“I will force you to rest in my own way.”

"You've already seen it all, and you don't want to be hurt by me again..."

Yu Bing's mind automatically replayed the entire process of being forcibly carried in a princess carry by Min Moyou on the street...

“But—my second grandfather… has been missing for some time now. Every minute we delay in finding him means he will be in even greater danger… I… can’t rest in peace.”

"I assure you, your second grandfather is fine now. He will still be alive and able to return to the Yu family with you until you find him."

"What guarantee do you have...? Do you even know where my second grandfather is?"

"I do not know."

"You just need to trust me, not question me."

"What I say is the truth."

".......All right."

Yu Bing sighed softly, and hearing Min Moyou's suddenly serious tone, she knew that she probably had no room to refuse.

But he was Min Moyou—although it was absurd, Yu Bing subconsciously believed it a little bit.

........

As Yao Yao turned to leave, she walked slower and slower.

Turning around was decisive, saying goodbye was decisive, but leaving was dragging on.

Yao Yao has lived for twenty years. From childhood to now, the only people she has met who have been good to her are Yan Yugege and Sister Qianjun.

She rarely felt warmth from others—perhaps she did, from passersby who coveted her beauty, or from fans who admired her online—but without exception, they all ultimately gave Yao Yao a colder disgust, far exceeding the initial warmth that was driven by purpose and desire.

Yao Yao isn't very good at distinguishing between good and bad people, but the "characteristics" bestowed upon her by the Pulaolong Curse are the price she pays for wanting to be loved. When He responds, it helps her identify those who have ulterior motives towards her, causing those with ill intentions to actively and harshly push her away.

The fact that Min Moyou's kindness to her, even though she reciprocated, did not trigger any of her own special abilities—this was truly remarkable.

Yao Yao was somewhat unwilling. Having lacked love since childhood, she desperately craved warm affection, but she could never reach it, except for the warmth brought to her by Qian Jun Jie Jie and Yan Yu Ge Ge. But even these two lukewarm, distant warmth could not fill the cold emptiness in Yao Yao's heart.

She wanted more...more...

The more Yao Yao thought about it, the more she felt it was such a pity to become complete strangers with Mr. Min, with no further contact whatsoever...

I'm so unwilling! I'm really, really unwilling!

Among hundreds of millions of people, only one Min Moyou has finally appeared!

Yao Yao doesn't want this to happen...

Yao Yao suddenly stopped walking, and before she knew it, tears were welling up in her eyes, glistening in the moonlight.

Yao Yao couldn't help but want to turn around, looking at the backs of Min Moyou and Yu Bing as they were about to leave. The distance of several dozen steps seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

"Mr. Min—"

Yao Yao couldn't control herself and shouted out loud.

"Ok?"

Min Moyou turned his head in confusion, and he heard a hint of a sob in Yao Yao's voice.

We didn't bully her, did we?

Yu Bing frowned, but she didn't do anything like pulling Min Moyou away quickly—after all, she still believed that her charm wouldn't allow Yao Yao to steal Min Moyou away in front of her.

Otherwise, it would be admitting that you are not as good as Yao Yao, which shows a lack of self-confidence and is very unbecoming of the clan.

Yao Yao stopped in her tracks. There were things she wanted to say, but she didn't dare to, afraid of affecting the relationship between Min Moyou and Yu Bing, afraid that Yu Bing would dislike her...

But Yu Bing didn't really like her to begin with.

It's okay if it's even a little bit annoying, right?

"Mr. Min... Yao Yao... Can Yao Yao adopt you as her pigeon?!"

"Yao Yao doesn't know how to explain it to Li, it's complicated, but it's not easy for Yao Yao to meet Li Zeng's Zeng!"

"So! Can I be a family member of the biting rocker?"

"Although it's abrupt... it seems like I don't want to miss it!"
