President, please comfort me.

Chen Nuo was very patient and gentle with children. She bent down, touched Yueyue's hair, and said softly with a smile, "Why did you run out? Did Mommy go to work?"

"Go ahead, I'll come out to meet Teacher Nuonuo."

"Okay, let's go in and start class."

After speaking with Yueyue, Chen Nuo straightened up and looked at Ye Lin, reverting to his distant tone: "Thank you for today. I'll go to class now."

Looking at the tenderness and smile that hadn't yet faded from her face, Ye Lin felt a warm current surge through his heart. He was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but chuckle after realizing what she meant: "It was nothing. Focus on your class. I've already had someone take care of your car. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."

Chen Nuo was surprised that he had made arrangements in just a few minutes. Since that was the case, it would be a bit pretentious to refuse again: "Alright then, thank you for today. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Ye Lin lowered his head, staring straight at her, a smile playing on his lips: "Okay, in that case, let's exchange phone numbers."

"Okay." Since things had come to this point and the other person had indeed helped, Chen Nuo had no reason to refuse him.

The two exchanged phone numbers. Seeing that they had finished chatting, Yueyue pouted slightly and asked with a hint of disdain, "Uncle~ what are you doing here?"

Chen Nuo was shocked and looked at the two of them hesitantly: "Uncle?"

Ye Lin squatted down and gently pinched Yueyue's nose. He then looked up at Chen Nuo and explained, "Yes, she is my niece, and Ye Hua is my cousin."

Then, he said to Yueyue affectionately, "Uncle brought Teacher Nuonuo over."

Yueyue blinked her big eyes and asked innocently, "Why did Uncle give Teacher Nuonuo a ride? Could it be that you two are dating?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo and Ye Lin were both stunned, exchanging a shocked glance. Just as Chen Nuo was about to explain, Ye Lin spoke up before her, saying, "It's an adult matter, you're just a kid, don't meddle. It's been so long, have you missed your uncle? Your uncle has missed you terribly."

Yueyue pouted, completely disbelieving him: "Liar! Mom said Uncle is busy chasing girls every day and has long forgotten about Yueyue."

"Hmph, that's why I only think about my uncle in a neutral way."

"Ahem, your mother is talking nonsense. Your uncle is not chasing girls. Oh well, you should go dance with Teacher Nuonuo."

Ye Lin scratched his head, looked at Chen Nuo nervously, and explained, "That's just kidding, I wasn't trying to pick up girls."

Chen Nuo wasn't surprised at all and didn't care. After giving Yueyue a polite smile, he said, "Let's go, we're going to class."

"Okay, then we're leaving, Uncle." Yueyue waved and pulled Chen Nuo into the house.

Ye Lin watched the two figures walk away, still giving them instructions: "Listen to Teacher Nuonuo, and don't cause trouble, understand?"

"Okay, I like Teacher Nuonuo, I won't cause trouble."

Ye Lin returned to his car and thought it over. He realized he couldn't remain passive any longer and had to take the initiative. After all, he only met one girl this attractive once in thirty years.

So he immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Wen Qi: Xiao Qi, are you free at noon? I'd like to invite you to lunch.

Wen Qi and Xiao He had just arrived at the parking lot downstairs of the Xiao Group building. No matter what Xiao He said along the way, she didn't respond. Xiao He had no choice but to promise that she would not speak recklessly on her own initiative in the future, and that this would not happen again.

Wen Qi picked up her phone and looked at it. Xiao He, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted Ye Lin's profile picture and couldn't help but ask, "What does Ye Lin want from you?"

Wen Qi didn't even look up, and answered honestly, "He said he'd treat me to lunch."

Tell him you're not going, and we'll have lunch together.

“No, my friend is starting work today, and I have to eat lunch and dinner with him.” Wen Qi looked up at Xiao He and refused as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Yang Xu, right? I'll go too. I'll treat him to dinner."

"I talked to him about it yesterday, and he said it wasn't necessary, since you'd already gotten beaten up anyway."

"That's it, I'm leaving now, bye-bye." Wen Qi waved her hand, then immediately got out of the car, looking around furtively as she walked away.

Xiao He was unhappy because he couldn't get a dinner invitation, so he called Ye Lin to vent his anger. As soon as Ye Lin answered, he asked bluntly and in an unhappy tone, "Why did you ask my wife to dinner?"

Just as Ye Lin saw Wen Qi's message saying she was busy at noon and would reschedule, she received a call from Xiao He. She knew it couldn't be anything good, and sure enough, she was right.

"Hey, are you taking gunpowder so early in the morning? I must have something to tell Xiao Qi." Ye Lin looked completely bewildered. How did Xiao He know about the message he just sent?

"Don't contact her privately in the future. If you need anything, contact me first, and I'll pass on your message." Xiao He said this in a serious and earnest manner, which almost startled Ye Lin so much that she dropped her phone.

"No, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just the literal meaning." Xiao He vented his frustration and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lin looked at Wen Qi's words and still didn't want to give up. He talked to her for a while longer, and Wen Qi couldn't keep refusing. In the end, the two set the dinner time for Friday night.

Xiao He got out of the car and instructed Achen: "Go to the Governor's Mansion later and bring those two pastry chefs to Chunfengli. Have them prepare some common ingredients for making desserts. I'll go back this afternoon."

Xiao He's decision wasn't impulsive. He remembered that Ah Chen had mentioned that girls Wen Qi's age liked to eat these kinds of things, and he had indeed noticed that Wen Qi seemed to enjoy drinking milk tea and eating small cakes quite often. So, taking advantage of their improved relationship, he arranged for her to have them all.

Achen was a little surprised and quickly followed, "Okay, but why did you call the pastry chef here, Brother Xiao?"

Xiao He was still not very happy, and looked at him with a slightly cold gaze: "Now I have to report to you, right?"

"Remember to prepare plenty of durian and taro paste!"

"Okay, then it's nothing, I'll go now?" Ah Chen didn't dare to ask any more questions, patted his butt and slipped away first.

"Ah."

Xiao He entered the office, and Lin Cheng followed behind him. Just as Lin Cheng was about to talk to him about the meeting in the afternoon, Xiao He interrupted him: "Try to schedule all the work in the morning as much as possible, and make time for the afternoon."

The main reason why Lin Cheng was able to stand out among a group of secretaries was that he was not only highly efficient at work, but also had a strong ability to solve some unexpected problems. He could complete almost all the tasks given to him by Xiao He perfectly and on time.

He knew Xiao He well, and upon hearing this, he immediately changed his tune: "Okay, Mr. Xiao."

-

On his first day at work, Yang Xu was coincidentally assigned to Wen Qi's group. The two were happy all morning, and Wen Qi, as a veteran newcomer, cooperated with him throughout the morning.

At noon, Wen Qi took him to the cafeteria, once again declining Xiao He's invitation to lunch.

"Come on, Ah Xu, let's grab a seat here." Wen Qi tugged at Yang Xu's clothes and led him to a corner seat.

"Let me tell you, the food in the company cafeteria is pretty good. It's very similar to what we eat at university. There's Chinese food, Western food, rice, noodles, all kinds of food, and a wide variety of choices."

Yang Xu nodded: "Yeah, I can tell there are quite a lot of people."

"Let's see what we want to eat, I'll order."

After ordering food, Yang Xu, who had been holding back his question all morning, finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

Yang Xu's eyes lit up, and he looked like he wanted to hear some gossip: "What happened between you and Xiao He? Why is he starting to apologize to me? Tell me quickly."

Wen Qi took a sip of water, trying to keep a low profile: "He confessed his feelings to me."

Yang Xu was utterly shocked by this bombshell, his voice trembling: "What! Really? Did you agree? Huh?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, everyone's looking." Wen Qi was startled by his reaction and quickly stopped him.

"Okay, okay, then tell me quickly."

"Really? How could it be fake?"

"Then did you agree?"

"How can I agree? I've only known him for a little over half a month."

Yang Xu nodded, seemingly lost in thought: "That's true."

"No, so what are you thinking?"

"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, we're only twenty-three, I'm not in a hurry. Besides, finding a partner is a bonus, but I don't care if I don't."

Although Yang Xu admired her attitude, he also really wanted to find a partner: "You know, we're all single dogs, when are we going to find someone and have a sweet romance?"

Wen Qi laughed at his words: "What's wrong? Are your aunt and uncle urging you?"

Yang Xu looked helpless: "Yeah, I've said it a few times."

"It's alright, it will happen when the time is right. The food is ready, I'll go get it."

"I'll go, you sit down." Yang Xu pressed Wen Qi down and went to get the food.

After finishing their meal, Wenqi took him to a nearby shopping mall. Wenqi had already bought two sets of office supplies and had prepared them in advance. In the end, the two of them each carried a cup of milk tea and strolled back leisurely.
