President, please comfort me.

Xiao He replied: Arrange for one of your men to protect her, make sure she isn't discovered, and don't have to report her whereabouts every day unless there are special circumstances.

This "she" naturally refers to Wen Qi. Ah Biao was quite shocked after reading it, thinking that Wen Qi was going to suffer a lot today because of how she spoke to Xiao He last night.

After putting down his phone, Xiao He immediately went into the study and looked at the content displayed on the computer.

Yang Xu, male, 23 years old, is the only son of the chairman of Dongsheng Group, a logistics tycoon in Beijing. He is a recent graduate of Xiamen University, majoring in software engineering. He and Wen Qi are classmates and have a good relationship.

Okay, it seems I misunderstood her.

The document also shows that Yang Xu received an offer from Xinwang Hehe at a campus recruitment event a month ago, for the same position as Wen Qi!

……

Ah Biao hadn't slept for a day and a night. He thought that after sending the information, he would soon receive instructions from Xiao He to let Yang Xu handle the situation, as was customary. However, he endured his sleepiness until 10 a.m., but there was still no news.

He had no choice but to take out his phone and call Ah Chen. As soon as the call connected, he asked without saying a word, "Is the boss at the company?"

All morning, the top floor of the Xiao Group building was filled with Xiao He's cursing voice. Ah Chen was terrified for hours. Finally, someone came and spoke to him. He stood at a distance and secretly glanced at Xiao He, while also starting to gossip.

"Yeah, I don't know who upset him, he was in a terrible mood this morning, and he even has bruises on his face from being beaten up. Bro, do you know why?"

"But why do you ask that? Where else could Brother Xiao go if he's not at the company?"

After hearing this, A Biao unilaterally hung up the phone.

"He has a terrible temper, so it should be soon," Ah Biao thought as he continued to endure the ordeal.

Finally, after noon, Ah Biao handed his phone to his men, telling them to give it to him immediately if Xiao called, because he couldn't stay awake any longer and needed to take a nap.

Xiao He didn't look for A Biao not because he forgot the harsh words he made last night, but on the contrary, because he was thinking about how to take back what he said in order to ease the current terrible situation.

Just as I was feeling annoyed, Ye Lin called.

"Come to Peach Blossom tonight. I've already selected a few options for the Dongning Island Resort that we mentioned last time. Let's finalize them together tonight."

Xiao He wasn't in the mood to talk about the resort today, but thinking that going to Peach Blossom would be a good way to relax and he could also learn some tips from Ye Lin, that 'love guru,' he agreed.

Wen Qi slept soundly. When she woke up, she fumbled for her phone and saw that it was already 2 p.m.

There were several missed calls, and the WeChat group messages were over 99, mostly from Lanling and Yang Xu, with Chen Nuo replying only occasionally.

I shifted my body slightly, my fingers flying across the screen as I replied: I'm awake, sorry everyone.

Yang Xu: You finally showed up! I'm starving! [Starving.jpg]

Chen Nuo: "Smirking.jpg" Xiao Qi, I'm off today, hurry up and get up, I'll treat you two to something delicious.

Lanling: Hmph, I'm so envious. Are you three going to abandon me? [crying emoji]

Yang Xu: Why don't you come to the capital too? That way, the four of us can all be together. It just so happens that your family has a branch office in the capital. Didn't you say that your uncle keeps urging you to go to the company?

Wen Qi: "That makes sense, I completely agree.jpg"

Chen Nuo: "Just thinking about it makes me happy.jpg"

Lanling: Hmm, let me think about it some more. I'm going to get a beauty treatment now. Goodbye.

Yang Xu: Go, Pikachu!

Wenqi: What would the birthday person like to eat?

Yang Xu: What else can we eat? When have we never chosen what you like? Beef hot pot, of course, your favorite. Get up, get up, see you at Mingzhu Square at five o'clock.

Chen Nuo: Okay~

Wenqi: Received.

Wen Qi quickly got up, changed into a rainbow striped knit T-shirt, paired with a pair of pure white ripped straight-leg jeans, and then started brushing her teeth, washing her face, washing her hair, and putting on makeup.

After fiddling around for an hour, Wenqi went to the kitchen.

My stomach was rumbling, so I needed to find something to eat first. I opened the refrigerator, took out a stack of wonton wrappers and a plate of minced meat, and made myself a dozen or so wontons.

On the spacious first floor, Wen Qi was eating slowly and deliberately, trying not to think about what happened last night. Instead, she was considering which milk tea shop to order later.

"Ding ding ding." One delivery text message after another arrived. Some snacks and decorations I had recently bought had arrived. After cleaning up the dishes, Wen Qi went out to pick up the packages.

Around 4 o'clock, Wen Qi rode her electric bike out. It was quite close to Mingzhu Square from Chunfengli, and she arrived in less than 20 minutes.

As soon as I parked the car, I saw two familiar figures walking one after the other at the entrance of the square.

Wen Qi, beaming, ran over and took Chen Nuo's arm, saying, "We're so in sync! Let's go, you and A Xu just arrived too."

Chen Nuo, with her long, Morandi-colored wavy brown hair, wearing a beige knitted cardigan and a white pleated skirt, looked incredibly gentle. Upon hearing this, she looked puzzled and asked, "Huh? Has Ah Xu arrived yet? Where is he?"

Wen Qi pulled her around: "Isn't it right behind us?"

Yang Xu, looking defeated, said from behind: "Xiao Nuo, I've called you twice already, are you treating me like I'm invisible?"

Chen Nuo looked at the person in front of him, whose face was covered in bruises even though he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and was very puzzled: "Ah Xu? So it was you who called me just now. I was wondering who was whispering over there. What happened to you? I don't even recognize your face now, let alone just now."

Yang Xu pushed the two of them toward the mall: "Sigh, it's a long story. Let's go inside and talk. I don't want to be stared at like a monkey here."

Wen Qi tilted her head to look at him, her face full of flattery: "Come on, come on, I'll buy you milk tea later."

Yang Xu said with a smug look, "That's more like it."

Seeing the injured face of the birthday boy Yang Xu, Chen Nuo coaxed him, "Let's go out for a couple more drinks tonight."

Yang Xu's eyes widened immediately: "Really? Don't lie to me!"

Since Chen Nuo started having classes in the evenings during his senior year, he has gone out drinking and clubbing less often. Today, he actually brought it up on his own initiative, which made Yang Xu very happy, and the pain on his face immediately subsided a lot.

Seeing his expression, Wen Qi and Chen Nuo smiled faintly and remained silent as they walked towards the shop and quickly entered the hot pot restaurant.

The three of them sat down and quickly ordered their food. Chen Nuo looked at Yang Xu and said, "Tell me the truth."

Yang Xu turned to look at Wen Qi, saying in the same tone, "Confess honestly."

Wen Qi felt uneasy under their gazes, took a sip of lemonade, and cleared her throat: "I'm currently staying at Aunt Tang's house, which I told you about before. She has a son named Xiao He, and Aunt Tang asked him to protect me."

“Last night I went to pick up A-Xu and took him back to Datang Family. When Xiao He came home from get off work and saw that I wasn’t home, he asked the bodyguard and found out that we had been together in the middle of the night. He thought A-Xu was a bad guy, so he beat him up.”

She finished speaking in one breath, then shrugged and said, "It's that simple."

After saying all that, Wen Qi took another sip of water and then silently waited for the interrogation. She had promised Xiao He that she wouldn't tell them about getting the marriage certificate, so this was the only explanation she could give.

Chen Nuo remained relatively calm upon hearing this: "Xiao He? Is that the one I thought it was?"

Yang Xu shrugged, having already accepted the fact: "Don't doubt it, it's the one you think it is."

Chen Nuo was immediately surprised: "I didn't expect that the Aunt Tang you mentioned was from the Xiao family."

Wen Qi said, "I only found out after I arrived."

"So where are you staying now, at the Governor's Office?"

Chen Nuo occasionally teaches at students' homes. One of his students happens to live in Baidufu, which is said to be the most expensive residential area in the capital. The richest man probably lives there too.

Wen Qi answered somewhat guiltily, "No, Xiao He and I are living in Chunfengli now. Aunt Tang was worried that my commute to and from get off work would be too tiring, and since Chunfengli is close to Xinwang and Hehe, she let Xiao He and me live in the city so that we can look after each other. I only occasionally go back to Baidufu for a meal."

Yang Xu looked at him with an expression of realization: "No wonder you went home so quickly last night. It's very close to the Tang Dynasty Family. Now I can mooch meals from you."

Chen Nuo: That's good. You and A Xu live close by, so you can look after each other.

Wen Qi nodded and said to Yang Xu, "It's okay to freeload a meal, but only at your house. You experienced Xiao He's fighting prowess yesterday, right? He's domineering, impulsive, and lacks martial ethics."
