President, please comfort me.

After they left, Wen Qi was questioned again. To avoid saying too much and making a mistake, she could only drag Chen Nuo to the dance floor to dance.

The fact that the two, whose majors are completely different, became good friends is thanks to the various clubs and organizations at school.

Wen Qi was originally a carefree engineering student, but after joining the school dance club and meeting Chen Nuo, she gradually developed many cute girl characteristics.

Chen Nuo has studied dance since childhood, and her natural elegance is self-evident. Coupled with her height of 168 cm, her graceful figure and perfect proportions make her look like a beautiful painting just by standing there.

The two women swayed their bodies to the music on the dance floor. Although there were many beautiful women in the bar, very few were as fresh, clean, and youthful as the two of them.

Many men were gradually attracted to them and even wanted to strike up a conversation, while the women all showed envious, jealous and resentful eyes.

Yang Xu sipped his wine, silently watching them from the sidelines, protecting them. Every now and then, he would take out his phone to shoot videos and send them to the group chat of the four of them. Lanling was so envious that she couldn't wait to join in. She threw out six words: "You just wait!"

When Tang Chao and Ye Lin entered, Xiao He was sitting in his seat, smoking.

Tang Chao deliberately asked Ye Lin, who was following behind him, "Can you smell a sour smell?"

"Really?" Ye Lin was still thinking about someone and didn't react immediately. He answered while going to the wine cabinet to get the wine.

Tang Chao looked at him like he was an idiot and retorted, "I think you're only interested in looking at the little girls."

He approached Xiao He, his tone smug: "Go down there. I've already discovered the secret behind your smile. You're really ruthless. You're someone's good friend, after all."

Xiao He looked up at him, his eyes full of warning.

Tang Chao, unafraid of death, continued: "I just told Xiaoqi that you were here too, but you weren't feeling well, so you didn't come down. You understand?"

Xiao He's displeasure was evident on his face, and he made no attempt to hide it, his annoyance written all over his face: "Why did you have to meddle? Why are you so rude?"

Tang Chao shrugged and sat down to the side: "Fine, I'm just being cheeky. You can just tell her I was joking. I don't care!"

Ye Lin walked over carrying the wine: "What are you muttering about?"

Tang Chao teased him, "Speaking of your flirting, what's wrong? You've got your eye on some young lady?"

Ye Lin, holding his wine glass thoughtfully, said, "I have my eye on her; she's quite charming."

"That's Wen Qi's best friend, you'd better behave yourself."

"So what? We're all adults. Besides, am I being dishonest?"

"Still pretending." Tang Chao laughed and threw a deck of cards at Ye Lin.

Xiao He, seeing the two of them looking confused, became very irritated: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and show me the resort plan, I have other things to do."

Ye Lin immediately fell silent: "Okay, Brother Xiao."

The several alternative options were decided by Ye Lin himself, and were of high quality. Therefore, the three of them made their final choice in less than half an hour.

After finishing their business, Tang Chao, who had long seen through Xiao He's thoughts, and not wanting his younger brother to lose the woman he had finally found, earnestly advised him: "You've come this far, so stop being so coy. Just sincerely apologize and make amends. Just say what you really think. Be sincere, and things won't get any worse."

Xiao He listened without saying a word, but he was silently thinking about it. After all, after misunderstanding Wen Qi last time, she didn't speak to him for a whole week. She was ruthless enough, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

At 10 p.m., Xiao He finished his party and saw Wen Qi on the dance floor, surrounded by a group of men who were infatuated with her.

He resisted the urge to grab the person, quickly left the bar, went to the company, and then returned to Chunfengli.

As soon as Xiao He entered the door, he heard the screeching sound of an electric scooter coming from the yard. Without even turning on the lights, he changed his shoes in the dark, ran over, and sat down on the sofa with one hand on his forehead, closing his eyes to rest.

Wen Qi carried a small cake in one hand and her car keys in the other as she opened the door and came in.

She turned on the light, changed her shoes, and turned around to see Xiao He on the sofa opposite her. Wen Qi was so startled that she screamed, "Ah—!"

Hearing the sound, Xiao He 'groggily' opened his eyes, looked at her, and didn't say anything, only coughed lightly.

Having had an unpleasant argument yesterday, Wen Qi really didn't want to face Xiao He.

How to describe Wen Qi? She's fine with her own people, but she's sensitive and suspicious towards outsiders, holds grudges, and has an excellent memory. Her specialty is the silent treatment.

When Wen Qi heard Tang Chao say he wasn't feeling well at the bar, she didn't think much of it, but seeing it with her own eyes now was a completely different experience.

However, none of this concerns her.

Don't expect her to care about the culprit who made her angry when she's angry.

Wen Qi ignored everything, changed her shoes, and went upstairs to do whatever she needed to do.

This was the first time in Xiao He's life that he had pretended to be sick to gain sympathy, and he was completely ignored. He felt incredibly embarrassed and ashamed, as if he had been running naked in public.

He wanted nothing more than to call Tang Chao and give him a piece of his mind for coming up with such a terrible idea, but it was best that no third person knew about this.

He thought about it and decided against it.

Back in his room and lying on the bed, Xiao He felt genuinely dizzy and short of breath, but it wasn't something that cold medicine could cure.

In the latter half of the night, the wind picked up and it started to rain.

The pattering rain sounded like a lullaby, but Xiao He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.

-

Monday.

Xiao He was working in his office as usual when Tang Chao pushed open his office door.

Xiao He was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it, and he was getting annoyed when he lifted his eyelids and saw the person who had come. He was even more displeased.

Tang Chao didn't mince words, casually pulling over a chair and getting straight to the point: "So, how was last night?"

Xiao didn't even want to give him a second glance: "What do you mean, 'whatever'? If you have something to say, say it; if not, get lost!"

Tang Chao noticed his unusual mood and immediately understood: "It's almost noon. How about I invite Xiaoqi to have lunch together? She lives in the building next door, doesn't she?"

"Let's meet, let's meet." Before Xiao He could even speak, Ye Lin hurriedly pushed open the office door again.

Xiao He was quite annoyed to see him so infatuated, and deliberately seized the opportunity to make a fuss: "Are you all clumsy? Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

Honestly, the two of them had never knocked on this door before, nor had they ever been scolded. Today, they've just walked right into a trap.

Ye Lin was in a good mood and didn't argue with him. He pulled up a chair and said, "Let's go out. I was just thinking of having dinner with Xiao Qi."

Tang Chao glanced at him and said, "I think you have ulterior motives. Be a good person."

Ye Lin shamelessly said, "What's wrong? Xiao Qi and I are friends, so Xiao Qi's friends are my friends too. What's wrong with me getting to know friends?"

Seeing Xiao He and Tang Chao staring at him, he stopped smiling and said seriously, "I really like you. I couldn't sleep all night last night."

"Okay, then I'll make the appointment?" Tang Chao picked up his phone and gestured to Xiao He.

Xiao He kept his head down, looking at the documents without saying a word, so Tang Chao dialed a number and even put it on speakerphone.

Wen Qi answered quickly, her sweet voice ringing out: "Hi, Tang Chao?"

"Xiaoqi, want to have lunch together? Your brother Ye Lin and I are in Xiao He's office."

Wen Qi didn't want to see Xiao He, and besides, she already had an appointment. She paused and said, "I've already made an appointment with a colleague for lunch."

"I see." Tang Chao's slightly disappointed voice came through the receiver.

Upon hearing this, Wen Qi couldn't help but ask, "How about tonight? I'll treat you and Brother Ye Lin to dinner tonight?"
