After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

After finishing their supermarket shopping, the four of them went to the private kitchen restaurant that Wang Jiaojiao had mentioned.

As the waiter brought over the beautifully designed menu, Wang Jiaojiao said, "Seniors, take a look. Order whatever you want. Don't be shy with me."

"Okay, thank you in advance."

Shen Shi'an responded and took the menu.

Su Yanxi sat next to Shen Shi'an, and Gu Yannian was sitting right across from her.

Looking at Gu Yannian in front of her, Su Yanxi had many questions she wanted to ask. However, Su Yanxi herself knew that now was not the time to ask questions.

Gu Yannian, sitting opposite, was also staring intently at Su Yanxi. Since Shen Shi'an returned to China, Su Yanxi had been staying with him.

Gu Yannian tried to convince herself to believe Su Yanxi, but Su Yanxi's actions only seemed to confirm what Shen Shi'an had told her.

Neither of them spoke, and they just stared at each other, creating a very strange atmosphere.

"Xiaoxi, how about I order this for you?"

Shen Shi'an noticed the atmosphere between Su Yanxi and Gu Yannian and took the initiative to approach Su Yanxi with the menu.

Su Yanxi snapped out of her daze, looked at the menu in Shen Shi'an's hand, and gave a slight smile: "Okay."

"Xiaoxi, look at this braised pig's trotter with our secret recipe. Do you remember that time we went abroad on business and spent a whole month eating Western food with our clients? When we got back, we were driving around late at night looking for a Chinese restaurant. We finally found a street food stall that was still open after searching for ages!"

The food stall's menu was created by the owner; the names were all incredibly poetic, and we had no idea what they meant. We ordered purely by feel, and one dish, "Passing Through Your Black Hair, My Hand," caught our curiosity, so we ordered it. We thought it was chicken feet, but the owner brought out a plate of braised pig's trotters, which made us laugh uncontrollably.

Shen Shi'an's words stirred up Su Yanxi's memories. Su Yanxi nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her lips: "Yes, I remember that the braised pig's trotters were actually sweet. After eating them, I didn't eat anything sweet for a whole month. I wonder what flavor the braised pig's trotters here are?"

"Then I'll order one and see if this one tastes better, or if 'My Hand Through Your Black Hair' from back then tastes better."

Shen Shi'an smiled and ticked the box on the menu.

Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao listened to the entire conversation between the two.

Gu Yannian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; she was so jealous she was almost going crazy.

He didn't remember any of the things Shen Shi'an mentioned.

The time he was away belonged solely to Shen Shi'an and Su Yanxi.

He can't change it, nor can he interfere.

"Senior, I didn't expect you and Yanxi to have gone through so much, and it was all so interesting."

Wang Jiaojiao spoke, her eyes smiling.

"When Xiaoxi and I started our business together, we encountered a lot of things, it was a mix of bitter and sweet."

"No wonder you two get along so well."

Wang Jiaojiao echoed Shen Shi'an's words, then handed the menu to Gu Yannian, her tone soft: "Brother Yannian, shall I order this for you? You love soup the most, and the soup here tastes very good."

Gu Yannian didn't even look at the menu. After hearing Wang Jiaojiao's words, she deliberately said with emotion, "I didn't expect that after all these years, Jiaojiao, you still remember my tastes. You order, I like whatever you order!"

Sitting opposite her, Su Yanxi frowned upon hearing this. What did Gu Yannian mean by this? Was she deliberately targeting her?

Wang Jiaojiao, however, seemed oblivious to the implied meaning in Gu Yannian's words, and replied shyly, "Brother Yannian, I remember everything about you, no matter how small."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi's face darkened.

She and Gu Yannian exchanged a glance, both of them seeing a hint of provocation in each other's eyes.

The food came quickly.

Shen Shi'an was incredibly considerate in serving food and soup to Su Yanxi, while Wang Jiaojiao was even more exaggerated, serving one of every dish to Gu Yannian as if she were about to feed it to him.

The food was excellent, but unfortunately, Su Yanxi and Gu Yannian found it tasteless and couldn't taste anything at all.

Neither Su Yanxi nor Gu Yannian knew how the meal ended.

However, Shen Shi'an and Wang Jiaojiao seemed to enjoy their meal quite a bit.

After dinner, the four of them walked out of the restaurant together.

Wang Jiaojiao spoke first, suggesting the next dinner: "Senior, when are you free next time? Let's all get together again."

"We'll talk about it later. Tomorrow, Xiaoxi and I are going to H City."

"H City? Are you going there on a business trip?"

"No, there are other things."

Shen Shi'an deliberately didn't make things clear, just to make Gu Yannian overthink it.

As expected, after hearing Shen Shi'an's words, Gu Yannian stared intently at Su Yanxi.

Shen Shi'an is back, and Su Yanxi has even stopped going to work to go on a trip with him?

Su Yanxi knew from the way Gu Yannian was staring at her that Gu Yannian had misunderstood. She wanted to explain, but remembering how Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao had acted in the restaurant earlier, she felt unhappy.

Why did she need to explain to Gu Yannian?

She didn't do anything wrong.

"It's getting late, Xiaoxi and I are heading back first. What about you?"

"Brother Yan Nian will give it to me."

"Okay, let's go first."

Shen Shi'an looked at Su Yanxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, shall we go? We still have some things to buy."

"Let's go."

Su Yanxi responded and turned to leave with Shen Shi'an.

Gu Yannian stood there, watching Su Yanxi and Shen Shi'an leave together, her heart filled with indescribable feelings.

Is he really not as important as Shen Shi'an in Su Yanxi's heart?

Wang Jiaojiao saw Gu Yannian's expression and felt very smug.

If she were alone, she wouldn't be able to easily shake the relationship between Gu Yannian and Su Yanxi. But now, with Shen Shi'an's help, everything has become much easier.

It was also thanks to Shen Shi'an deliberately tipping her off that she was able to bring Gu Yannian over, allowing Gu Yannian to witness firsthand how well Su Yanxi and Shen Shi'an acted like a married couple.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiaojiao said, "Brother Yan Nian, it's getting late, let's go."

"it is good."

Gu Yannian withdrew her gaze and left with Wang Jiaojiao, feeling dejected.

At the entrance of the Wang family's residence.

Wang Jiaojiao had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even said goodbye to Gu Yannian when Gu Yannian stepped on the gas and drove off. However, Wang Jiaojiao wasn't angry at all; Gu Yannian's reaction meant that Gu Yannian was still upset about what had just happened.

Wang Jiaojiao looked in the direction Gu Yannian had left, took out her phone, and sent a WeChat message to Shen Shi'an.
