President, please comfort me.

Wen Qi was annoyed that he was manipulating her, so she deliberately whispered in his ear in a sweet voice, "Thank you for bringing me here, honey. Drive carefully on your way back, okay?"

This was the first time Wen Qi had called him on her own initiative, and her voice was so... Xiao He's heart was racing, and he wanted to turn around and take her home immediately.

As Wen Qi stepped back, Xiao He cupped her face in his large hands and swiftly and firmly kissed her fragrant lips.

Wild and intense, an uncontrollable desire like that of a wild beast, sweeping away everything in its path.

"I'll deal with you tomorrow." After tasting the food briefly, Xiao He, though reluctant, couldn't keep dragging it out. He made these harsh words and opened the door for her.

"Then I'm leaving." Wen Qi's lips were a little red, and she sat in the car for a few seconds before getting off.

"I'll walk you to the door." Xiao He got out of the car and offered to escort her upstairs.

As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw Chen Nuo getting out of a black Maybach next to them, and Ye Lin getting out on the other side.

Wen Qi, with an expression that was both surprised and yet expected, greeted them first: "Xiao Nuo, Brother Ye Lin?"

Chen Nuo seemed a little embarrassed, but Ye Lin immediately understood. She walked over and spoke first: "Hi, Xiao Qi, I was just at Chen Nuo's place watching Xueqiu, the little dog. She said she wanted to come here, so I brought her over. I didn't expect you guys to come too."

Chen Nuo then walked over to Wen Qi's side.

Xiao He nodded to Chen Nuo as a greeting.

"Okay, then we'll go up there, you guys go back first."

"Tell me when you get inside." Seeing that Chen Nuo was also there, Xiao He didn't insist and gave up the idea of ​​taking her upstairs.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Nuo glanced at Ye Lin and said softly, "Drive carefully." Then she and Wen Qi turned and walked inside, arm in arm.

Ye Lin watched her the whole time, his eyes smiling: "Okay, I understand."

After the two girls left, Xiao He didn't intend to waste any more words with Ye Lin and turned to walk towards his car.

Ye Lin chased after him: "Hey, brother, I'm still here, didn't you see me?"

Xiao He stopped and leaned against the car, calmly lighting a cigarette: "You didn't even acknowledge your brother when I greeted you."

"Would you like one?"

Ye Lin said seriously without smiling, "I've quit. Chen Nuo doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."

Xiao He hadn't expected him to be so capable, quitting smoking after so many years so easily. Knowing that Ye Lin hadn't caught up with him, he deliberately asked him sarcastically, "Did you catch up?"

Ye Lin was taken aback: "No."

For some reason, Xiao He was a bit cheeky tonight: "You, who failed to catch up, are even more ruthless to yourself than I, who have a license."

Ye Lin replied confidently, "If you don't have a license, you have to be tough on yourself, otherwise how will you have a chance?"

"Shall we go to Peach Blossom tomorrow night? A-Chao is busy on his last day of work tomorrow, so let's all relax together tonight. Should we invite Xiao-Qi and her friends?"

Xiao He hadn't smoked in a long time, so he was just taking advantage of Wen Qi's absence tonight to indulge his craving.

His phone lit up. He glanced at the message from Wen Qi, took a deep drag, and stubbed out his cigarette. "Her friend is going back to Xiamen tomorrow. I'll ask her first. I'm leaving now; they've already gone inside."

Caught off guard, Ye Lin frowned slightly. Why was his ally suddenly going back? "Is Lanling going back?"

"Ah."

The two went home separately. After Ye Lin got into the car, he saw the message Chen Nuo had sent him. Instantly, his brows relaxed, and he hummed a song, his voice becoming much lighter.

Seeing Wen Qi and Chen Nuo enter, Lan Ling felt much happier: "Oh, you two know me so well! My brother's here to catch me. I'm going back tomorrow."

Chen Nuo walked over and sat down: "It's already September, and National Day is just around the corner. We'll come visit you then."

Lanling leaned on her shoulder: "Yeah, it's so good to have you guys."

Wen Qi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "What's the situation between you and Tang Chao?"

The two stared at her, and Lanling briefly recounted what had happened in the past few days, emphasizing, "Don't go asking around for me privately. I just told Axu the same thing. We'll go see him again tomorrow morning. If it doesn't work out, then forget it. If I want to find a boyfriend, I can always go back to Xiamen for blind dates."

Lanling spoke solemnly, effectively cutting off Wen Qi's next words. She temporarily gave up trying to persuade her: "Alright."

"Zhan-ge bought a lot of gifts, why don't you two come and pick some out?" Yang Xu changed the subject, picked up Lan Zhan's suitcase and put it directly on the coffee table.

The takeout they had ordered in advance arrived. Yang Xu carried a large bag of snacks, barbecue, and drinks. The four of them sat in the living room, chatting and laughing, joking around, and didn't go back to their rooms to sleep until late at night.

-

The next day, Lan Zhan arrived at the Datang Family early with breakfast.

It was a rare occasion for the group to get together again. Lan Zhan, Chen Nuo, and Wen Qi chatted about their recent work and lives. After breakfast, Yang Xu went to work, while Lan Zhan drove Lan Ling to the Chaoyue Jewelry Building.

"Brother, just wait for me downstairs, I'll be down soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Lanling arrived at the top floor without any problems. Just as she reached the door of the president's office, she heard sarcastic and mocking comments coming from inside.

In a quiet environment, even the slightest sounds are clearly audible, seemingly more prominent than in a noisy environment.

"Wow, wow, wow, did you see that? Did you see that? I heard that the elegant and beautiful Miss Zhou who just went in is Mr. Tang's first love. Since they broke up, Mr. Tang hasn't looked for anyone else all these years."

"No way, what about Miss Lan who came to deliver flowers and late-night snacks a few days ago?"

"Oh dear, that girl was obviously throwing herself at him. Mr. Tang didn't even give her a second glance. Otherwise, why would all those beautiful flowers and midnight snacks end up in the trash? Don't you think so?"

“That makes sense. Maybe she’s a young lady from some prestigious family, but Mr. Tang is just too embarrassed to kick her out directly because of his pride.”

"This is so shameless."

"Mr. Tang and Ms. Zhou are indeed a perfect match; they look like a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing together."

"Hey, you guys are saying they've been inside for almost half an hour, and their assistant has already come out. What were they doing in there? Talking about work? Do you really believe that?"

"Hahaha! I don't believe it!"

"After so many years apart, a man and a woman alone together, it's only natural that something would happen, right?"

Lanling never expected to get such a big juicy story before leaving, and that he was one of the main characters in it.

Hearing the occasional mockery and ridicule coming from inside, as well as the speculation about Tang Chao and Zhou Luwen, Lanling felt both wronged and angry, gritting her teeth and her hands trembling with rage.

It turns out he threw away all the gifts I gave him; it turns out he deliberately didn't answer the phone; it turns out I was the one who was giving him money all along; it turns out he likes women like Zhou Luwen, haha.

I kept telling myself to be patient, to be patient, and not to cause trouble, but in the end I still snapped. Damn it, I just couldn't take it anymore!

She kicked open the slightly ajar door, feeling incredibly glad she had worn casual sportswear that day, and then went inside.
