Chapter 521: She Should Get Married to Gu Shimo

"Is it an ill-fated fate? Those who knew would laugh at you for being an idiot beauty. Those who didn’t know would think that you were a retard. Gu Shimo already has a fiancée and the child is already a minor character. Yet, you’re still daydreaming all day long. Are you kidding me?"

Xue Yunfei glared at him.

"Tang Yiheng, do you know that your behavior is very childish? In order to attract my attention, you’ve really racked your brains."

"Ha!"

Tang Yiheng laughed in anger.

"I want to attract your attention? Who’s the one running to my house now?"

"Don’t think too much. I’m not here for you. I’m here to visit the old man."

"You’re so beautiful!"

Tang Yiheng’s face fell. He turned around and called Yang Feng. NovelFire)

He had never seen such a shameless person!

Tang Baiyong watched the two bicker with great interest, feeling that it was quite interesting.

"I saw that Yi Heng was usually very serious. I thought that he was just a bookworm who only knew how to read."

Tang Baiyong liked children to play around.

He felt that it was lively and lively. Moreover, in his opinion, he felt that the two of them were just flirting with each other.

"Feifei, I think you and Yi Heng are quite compatible. Do you want to consider him again?"

Xue Yunfei looked at him pitifully and pouted.

"Old man, have you forgotten about the betrothal between you and my old man? Seriously speaking, wasn’t it me who got married to Aunt Tang Ying’s son?"

Tang Baiyong chuckled, skipping the topic.

"Feifei, I watched you and Yi Heng grow up. If you trust me and let me arrange for you and Yi Heng to reconcile, you two will definitely grow old together."

Xue Yunfei refused to comply and said coquettishly,

"Old Master, Tang Yiheng is very good. Of course I know. But I’m not on the same channel as him. If they were forced to be together, their hatred would only deepen in the future. How could they grow old together?"

Xue Yunfei wasn’t stupid enough to say that Tang Yiheng was bad in front of the old man.

"You just have to believe me. I’ll protect you. If he dares to bully you, I’ll break his legs."

"Thank you, Old Master, for worrying about us. However, Tang Yiheng and I are really not suitable.

We looked at each other separately, both beautiful alone. If they were to combine together, it would be an eternal tragedy.

Therefore, I can only let down your good intentions."

Hearing her say so much, Tang Baiyong only smiled lightly.

"You can always say a lot of great things. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you don’t like Yi Heng, this old man naturally won’t force you two to be together."

Raising his hand, Tang Baiyong covered his mouth and yawned.

He Yu, Tang He, and He Xi immediately bowed and said,"

"Old Master, it’s almost time. You should go to bed."

Tang Bai Yong pretended to be shocked. No wonder I felt a little sleepy."

He Yutang smiled meaningfully." Isn’t that so? Thirty years had already passed in the blink of an eye, let alone such a short period of time."

He then turned to Xue Yunfei and said,

"Miss Xue, then I’ll help the old man in to rest. I’ve troubled you today."

Xue Yunfei stood up and quickly said,"I’m not tired. Then I won’t disturb the old master’s rest for now. I’ll come back tomorrow!"

Tang Baiyong waved his hand lightly, saying,

"Girl, I don’t need you to take care of me. It’s a waste of time to run around. Go do your own thing. I’ll call you if I need anything."

Chapter 522: Crying About Being Poor

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. The smell of winter was getting stronger and stronger, and the weather was getting colder day by day.

Children grew up quickly. Every time the season changed, they could no longer wear the clothes from last year and needed to buy new clothes.

Ye Qingwan brought Ye Zixi to the mall to buy winter clothes.

In today’s society, everyone was earning money from women and children.

The first floor of the mall was filled with expensive items, such as gold and silver jewelry, perfume, and skincare products. They were all targeted at female customers.

As far as the eye could see, it was basically all women’s clothing and children’s clothing stores. Men’s clothing stores and husband’s storage rooms were all living in the cracks.

The third floor was the gathering place for infants and children’s clothing.

Ye Qingwan was choosing clothes for Ye Zixi in a clothing store on the third floor.

Coincidentally, he bumped into Yu Xin, who was shopping with Little Yusheng on her back.

"Aunt Yu Xin!"

It was Ye Zixi who saw Yu Xin first and took the initiative to greet her.

"Aiyo, it’s Zixi!"

If either Ye Qingwan or Yu Xin saw the other party first, they would probably avoid him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zixi saw it first and even greeted him.

In the adult world, no matter how much he disliked the other party, he still had to put on a facade.

"Qing Wan, are you here to buy clothes?"

Yu Xin greeted Ye Qingwan with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, I am."

Ye Qingwan replied indifferently.

"If I had known earlier, we would have agreed to be together."

Yu Xin pulled the clothes on the hanger and said in a friendly and natural tone.

Those who didn’t know would have thought that they were very familiar with each other.

"My husband has never been able to count on him anyway. Why are you taking care of Zixi yourself? Where was Gu Shimo? Could it be that he was in her husband’s storage room?"

"No, he’s on a business trip."

"Oh."

Ye Qingwan was picking out a down jacket for Ye Zixi to try on.

Ye Qingwan saw that it looked nice and warm on him, so she bought two colors, red and black, for Ye Zixi.

Yu Xin quietly flipped through the tag of one of the clothes.

The price tag was more than 3,000 yuan each, but Ye Qingwan bought it as if she was buying cabbages in the market. She didn’t even blink.

This made Yu Xin, who already disliked Ye Qingwan, feel extremely unbalanced.

"Qingwan, children grow up quickly. They need to change into new clothes every year. Actually, you don’t have to buy such an expensive one."

Yu Xin acted like she was thinking for Ye Qingwan and advised her.

Ye Qingwan didn’t think much of it and said,"

"You get what you pay for. Of course, good things are expensive. Why do we work so hard to earn money? Isn’t it to give ourselves and our families the best?"

Yu Xin felt awkward.

He laughed and said,

"That’s not what I meant. I just feel that it’s a little wasteful. Children only wear it for a year and can’t wear it next year."

Ye Qingwan looked calm.

"It’s not a waste. We buy new clothes every year anyway. If Zixi’s clothes were too small to wear, she could give them to other children or donate them to the poor mountainous areas. Anyway, they would not be wasted."

The skin on Yu Xin’s face twitched. Just hearing Ye Qingwan’s words made her heart ache.

"Qingwan, can you give the clothes that Zixi can’t wear to Yusheng?"

Ye Zixi’s clothes were basically branded from specialty stores.

She hadn’t worn it many times, and the color was very new.

Yu Xin heard Ye Qing say Zixi’s clothes were going to be donated, so she couldn’t care less about her face.

She could wear branded clothes without spending money. She would be able to earn face for her in the future.

Ye Qingwan looked at Yu Xin’s expression. How could she not know what she was planning?

However, Yu Sheng was Leng Xiao’s child after all. Even if she did not like Yu Xin, she did not need to vent her anger on Yu Sheng. NovelFire

"It’s not a problem to give it to Yusheng, but Yusheng is still so young. Even if my Zixi’s clothes are given to him, it will take a few years before he can wear them, right?"

"What’s the big deal? I’ll put it away first. It was equivalent to growing to Zixi’s age and then taking it out for him to wear."

Yu Xin was secretly happy in her heart, but she still wanted to complain.

"You also know that our family has a lot of expenses. Leng Xiao doesn’t earn much money in a year. It’s all up to me to live frugally."

 

Chapter 523: Find a Place to Chat

Ye Qingwan didn’t pay attention to her crying and said lightly,"

"Since you don’t mind, I’ll tidy up the clothes that Zixi can’t wear later and bring them to the company. I’ll let Xiao Duan bring them back. Let’s see if you want Xiao Duan to send them to you or you can get them yourself."

Ye Qingwan would rather go around the procedure than mention Leng Xiao, afraid that Yu Xin would make wild guesses again.

"Aiyo, then I’ll thank you on behalf of Yu Sheng."

"It doesn’t matter. I’m going to give it to someone anyway. It doesn’t matter who I give it to."

Yu Xin saw Ye Qingwan’s indifferent attitude. View the correct content at NovelFire.

He knew that she was still holding a grudge against him because of Zixi’s kidnapping.

"Alright, I’m almost done shopping. I’m going back to cook. I’ll make a move first! Zixi, goodbye!"

Yu Xin waved at Ye Zixi.

" Goodbye, Aunt Yu Xin!" NovelFire

The innocent Ye Zixi also smiled and waved goodbye to Yu Xin.

She was a little tired after shopping for a long time. The air conditioner in the mall was on, making her feel dry.

Ye Zixi said that he was thirsty, so Ye Qingwan brought him to the rest area in front of them to buy two cups of juice. They then sat down and rested.

This mall was still very popular during the weekend.

The rest area was almost empty. Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi had to wait for a while before they found a seat.

Not long after he sat down, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear,"

" Ye Qingwan?

Ye Qingwan looked up and saw that she was in the middle of the mountain.

It was Xue Yunfei, who was looking for a seat with a cup of freshly squeezed fruit juice in her hand. She happened to see her and Ye Zixi.

Ye Qingwan only glanced at her and had no desire to talk to her.

As for Xin, she could still be patient and perfunctory.

She and Xue Yunfei didn’t have any friendship, so she didn’t need to waste her time to deal with them.

Seeing that Ye Qingwan ignored her, Xue Yunfei was embarrassed and immediately flew into a rage.

"Ye Qingwan, you should know about Gu Shimo’s background, right?"

Ye Qingwan raised her eyes." So what if I know? So what if I don’t?"

Seeing Ye Qingwan’s arrogant attitude, Xue Yunfei sneered and said,"

"If you really know his background, then you should have some self-awareness, right? You should understand the principle of what pot goes with what lid, right?"

".."

"Since ancient times, marriage has always been about matching families. Gu Shimo is the legitimate heir to the Tang Empire. Do you think that your identity can enter the eyes of the Tang family? You’re a smart person. Don’t humiliate yourself."

"Miss Xue is so considerate of me. I’m really touched!"

Ye Qingwan stirred the juice in her glass.

"I also want to give you a piece of advice. Don’t take it for granted that everyone will revolve around you. Otherwise, you will also humiliate yourself."

"You..."

Xue Yunfei looked angry, but she didn’t want her image to be damaged in public, so she could only suppress it.

"Ye Qingwan, let’s wait and see! You don’t know that Old Master Tang has already come to South City to acknowledge his relatives, right? It was only a matter of time before Gu Shimo acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the family. As for me, I’m the granddaughter-in-law that the Tang family has long decided on, the spouse of the legitimate descendant of the Tang family!"

"Haha."

Ye Qingwan didn’t want to waste her breath on her. She turned to Ye Zixi and smiled gently.

"Zixi, do you want to try Mom’s dragon fruit and pear juice?"

"Alright! Alright!"

Ye Zixi smiled sweetly at her.

Xue Yunfei was rebuffed and turned away angrily.

As she sat on the handrail and went downstairs, someone suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.

Xue Yunfei was in a fit of rage. She turned around and glared at the people behind her, about to flare up.

However, when she saw that the other party was a woman holding a baby, she barely suppressed her anger and asked,

"What’s the matter?"

The person who took the photo of her was none other than Yu Xin.

"My name is Yu Xin. I’m very familiar with Ye Qingwan."

Yu Xin smiled at her." Should we find a place to talk?""

"Yu Xin?"

Xue Yunfei immediately matched her name and identity, and a trace of understanding flashed through her heart.

"Your husband is Leng Xiao, right?"

"It seems that you’ve investigated everyone around Ye Qingwan?"

Yu Xin was not surprised.

The two of them took the escalator down and stood on the floor.

 

Chapter 524: dispensable

Xue Yunfei crossed her arms and sized up Yu Xin, saying, NovelFire

"Looks like the rumors are true? You and Ye Qingwan don’t get along on the surface."

"You know about this too?"

Xue Yunfei looked confident." I know everything." But what about you? What do you know?"

"I know you want Gu Shimo, right?"

Yu Xin wasn’t afraid that she would know her background. The enemy of an enemy was a friend.

"I can help you."

Xue Yunfei looked at her as if she was examining her, then nodded and said,

"Let’s find a place to sit down and talk!"

"Just what I wanted!"

The two of them went to the first-floor Starbucks, ordered a cup of coffee each, and served two plates of pastries. They sat in a secluded corner for the convenience of conversation.

"You said you could help me? How?"

Xue Yunfei asked arrogantly.

Yu Xin looked around.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she leaned closer to Xue Yunfei and said in a low voice, View the correct content at NovelFire.

"I’ll tell you some shocking news about Ye Qingwan."

Yu Xin’s expression and tone aroused Xue Yunfei’s great interest.

"What news?"

"Five years ago, Ye Qingwan was...You understand."

This piece of news was indeed explosive enough. Xue Yunfei felt extremely comfortable listening to it.

"Are you serious? Did you see it with your own eyes? I know you have a grudge against her. Didn’t you deliberately make it up to slander her?"

"I can swear to the heavens that if I speak a single lie, I will die a horrible death."

Xue Yunfei heard her speak so grandly and could not help but be a little skeptical.

"Do you have any concrete evidence? I prefer to see for myself."

"It’s been so many years. I’m not sure if I can find evidence."

Yu Xin pretended to look troubled.

Xue Yunfei saw her expression and knew what she was up to.

He opened his bag and took out his wallet. He flipped through it and took out a bank card.

"There’s 100,000 yuan here. Take it as a deposit. If I’m satisfied with the item, we can discuss the subsequent fees."

——

After a day of shopping, Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi were exhausted.

Actually, shopping was also physically strenuous, and it felt more tiring than going to work.

She went home to wash up and put Ye Zixi to sleep first. Then, Ye Qingwan went back to her room, showered, dried her hair, and went to bed to rest.

Gu Shimo’s daily video call before going to bed immediately came.

As he was away on a business trip, Gu Shimo felt guilty that he could not be by Ye Qingwan and her son’s side at all times.

In addition to the incident with Zixi, Gu Shimo had to video call Ye Qingwan every day to make sure that she had arrived home safely and slept soundly. Only then would he be completely at ease.

Ye Qingwan had also turned off the lights and went to sleep to answer his call.

"You look tired. What did you do today?"

Gu Shimo could see the tiredness on her face.

"I went shopping and bought a few winter clothes for myself and Zixi."

"I’m sorry. Speaking of which, I haven’t been able to properly accompany you guys shopping. You’ve never personally picked out clothes and shoes for Zixi. You’ve always been the one worrying about her."

"Aren’t you busy? This is nothing. I’m used to it anyway."

Ye Qingwan had only said it casually, but Gu Shimo felt very uncomfortable hearing it.

"I finally understand why you’ve been reluctant to marry me."

Gu Shimo sighed.

"In your and Zixi’s world, I seem to be a dispensable existence."

Ye Qingwan remembered what he had said before. She was his dream, and he was someone she could do without.

"Brother Shi Mo, don’t say that. You are an indispensable person in Zixi and my life. How can you be dispensable?"

"Wanwan, the more you say that, the more ashamed I feel. I’ve never done anything for you and Zixi. I’ve gained too much from you, but I’ve given too little to you."

"You can find a chance to compensate us in the future."

"I will use my entire life to make it up to you."

Gu Shimo said emotionally.

The two of them looked at each other through the screen. Even if they didn’t speak, just looking at each other made them feel satisfied.

"By the way, did Grandpa Tang come to disturb you?"

Gu Shimo suddenly remembered and asked.

 

Chapter 525: Thank You, Let’s Eat Together

Tang Baiyong specially flew to South City to look for him, but he was on a business trip, so Tang Baiyong came to nothing.

Tang Baiyong should have come to find Ye Qingwan, right?

"The old master didn’t come. He has so many underlings under him. Even if he really wants to find me, it’s impossible for him, the main person, to come out. Yang Feng came to my house to look for me."

Ye Qingwan then told him everything that had happened in South City on the day of his business trip.

"He asked me to ask you when you will be back. Old Master Tang is staying at Tang Yiheng’s house for the time being. I’m afraid he’ll have to stay for a while."

" I wanted to wrap this up earlier and go back to reunite with you guys," Gu Shimo said.

"But now that you mention it, I don’t want to go back." NovelFire

"Brother Shi Mo, this isn’t like you."

Gu Shimo smiled faintly.

"You saw through me again. I’m just saying."

"I knew it."

"Of course, I have to follow my own plan and progress. The Tang family has nothing to do with me in the first place. Why should I deliberately avoid them or cooperate with them? I can’t even take care of my own matters."

"That’s right. This is what you’ve always done, Brother Shi Mo."

The two of them chatted for a while.

Normally, they could chat for an hour or two, but Ye Qingwan was obviously very sleepy and kept yawning.

Gu Shimo could not bear it, so he ended the call early and urged her to go to sleep.

Leng Xiaoduan rested at home for half a month. After adjusting his condition, he returned to Qingyun Wan and started working again.

Half a month’s time was enough for her to hold a memorial ceremony for those feelings that she had never expressed.

There was nothing going on between her and Gu Ziyang. So what if they had established a relationship?

How many people’s first love could be fulfilled?

First love was always like this, beautiful and bitter, nostalgic but helpless.

The dead had passed away, and she still had a long time ahead of her. She forced herself to cheer up and start anew.

"Little Duan, how are you feeling? Has the injury on his leg healed?"

Seeing Leng Xiaoduan return to the company, Ye Qingwan was still a little worried.

"I’m fine. It’s just a superficial wound."

Leng Xiaoduan smiled. There was still a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"That’s good. It’s also because you’re young and have a strong recovery ability. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."

Ye Qingwan said.

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. Go back and rest early."

"I’m really fine."

In order to prove that he had really recovered, Leng Xiaoduan even pinched his own leg.

"Sister Qingwan, if you’re so indulgent to your employees, aren’t you afraid that the company will go bankrupt?"

Seeing that Leng Xiaoduan was still in the mood to tease her, Ye Qingwan was completely relieved.

"How can a company go bankrupt so easily? As long as their hearts did not fall, they could start over at any time."

Ye Qingwan said with a double meaning.

Leng Xiaoduan naturally knew that she was talking to him.

She didn’t reply.

She changed the topic and said,

"By the way, Sister Qingwan, speaking of which, the last time I fainted on the streets, it was all thanks to Young Master Lu who sent me to the hospital. I heard that he also paid for the medical bills. I’m quite embarrassed. Do you think I should treat Young Master Lu to a meal to express my gratitude?"

"He almost bumped into you that day. Not only do you not blame him, but you also want to thank him?"

Ye Qingwan pretended to be confused.

"Didn’t you say that I fainted because of low blood sugar? Moreover, it was because I ran a red light that Young Master Lu almost hit me. Speaking of which, I’m afraid he’s already traumatized. I should apologize."

"Since you say so, I’ll call Lu Mingyu and ask him out for dinner tonight?"

Leng Xiaoduan was such a clear-headed girl.

If she had not been so understanding, perhaps her relationship with Gu Ziyang would not have been so stagnant.

Now that Gu Ziyang was no longer around, Leng Xiaoduan had almost lost his life because of this incident.

Although she seemed to have recovered.

But Ye Qingwan knew that the pain in one’s heart could not be healed so quickly.

It was just that he was temporarily hiding it.

It was also because of this.

She thought that instead of letting Xiao Duan think about it at home, it would be better to have dinner with her at night.

It allowed her to divert her attention.

"Sure,"

Leng Xiaoduan smiled gratefully at Ye Qingwan." Sister Qingwan, this meal is on me. You’re not allowed to pay the bill secretly.""

In the past, it was always Ye Qingwan who brought Leng Xiaoduan along to eat and drink together, and Leng Xiaoduan had never been polite with Ye Qingwan.

Ye Qingwan picked up her phone and looked through her contacts." Don’t worry, I’m more than happy to have someone treat me. Food that doesn’t cost money is the best.""

The call went through. Lu Mingyu seemed to be a little busy.

Ye Qingwan didn’t stand on ceremony and asked him directly,""Mingyu Bro, do you have any plans tonight?"

"No, I haven’t."

"How about we have dinner together?"

When Lu Mingyu heard the word " we ", he thought that it was referring to the two of them. His heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

"Alright, send me the time and place. I’ll be there on time."

"Okay, I’ll send you a WeChat message later."

Ye Qingwan asked Leng Xiaoduan after the call ended.

"I made an appointment with Lu Mingyu. He said that there’s no problem tonight. Little Duan, which restaurant are you planning to order? I’ll send him the address later. Let’s not go to 1587 anymore. Let’s go somewhere else."

Room 1587 was a high-end place. Since Leng Xiaoduan said that she was going to treat them, Ye Qingwan didn’t want to go there.

"Why not go to 1587? I was going to ask Sister Qingwan to help me book room 1587."

was a membership restaurant. Ye Qingwan was a registered member, but Leng Xiaoduan wasn’t.

Ye Qingwan shook her head.

"We’ve been spending at 1587 all this time."

Ye Qingwan said," Besides, Lu Mingyu isn’t an outsider. There’s no need to make it so formal. We can just be casual. Is there anything you want to eat?""

"Ah, speaking of which, there’s a duck shop on Zhengxing Road called ’Immortal Duck.’ Their signature dish is also called ’Immortal Duck.’ It’s very famous and very popular on the Internet. They sell limited quantities every day."

Leng Xiaoduan hurriedly took out his phone to search for an app." This is also an online celebrity shop, and the business is very good. I’ve only been there once. I’m usually alone. How can I eat a duck? It’s not convenient to go there. It’s not far from your house."

Ye Qingwan pretended to be shocked and said,"

"Tell me clearly. What duck shop? I thought you were going to take me to that kind of place."

Leng Xiaoduan glanced at her and smiled.

"I don’t mind going to that kind of duck shop. I’m just worried that President Gu will chase after me with a 40-meter-long knife."

Leng Xiaoduan found the phone number of the store and called to make an appointment.

She was really lucky to have gotten the last appointment.

"Yes, 6:30 p. m., Immortal Duck, 309 Zhengxing Road. I almost lost my spot."

After work, Gu Feng drove Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan to the Immortal Duck on Zhengxing Road.

From Qingyun Wan to Zheng Lu, it was the same direction as Ye Qingwan’s home.

Compared to Leng Xiaoduan’s residence, it was indeed closer to Ye Qingwan’s house.

This duck shop mainly sold duck meat. There were duck heads, duck necks, duck wings, duck feet, and everything else.

 

Chapter 526: Everyone Was Joyful

"Immortal Duck" was a Kung Fu dish.

An entire duck was put into the pot, supplemented with eight Chinese medicinal herbs. Not a drop of water was added, and the steam in the jar was used to circulate.

The jar was completely sealed and placed in a large iron pot. It was half-buried in a pile of salt and simmered for eight hours.

The ingredients in the medicinal herbs were similar to the formula of Liuwei Dihuang Pill. It had the effect of nourishing yin and kidney. As the saying went, medicine was not as good as food.

Of course, the most important thing was that this dish was really, really delicious.

As soon as the lid of the jar was opened, a fragrance instantly wafted out.

It would really make even the immortals not want to descend to the mortal world to taste the fireworks.

Leng Xiaoduan also booked a private room.

Due to the rush hour, the road was blocked for a while. When they arrived at the Immortal Duck, it was already 6:20 pm.

When the waiter brought them to the private room on the second floor, she found that Lu Mingyu was already inside.

Ye Qingwan asked him out for dinner, and Lu Mingyu drove over after work at five o’clock.

He didn’t ask her if she had something to do with him, nor did he ask if it was just the two of them.

It would be best if it was just the two of them. Even if it wasn’t, he couldn’t refuse.

When Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan appeared at the door of the private room together, Lu Mingyu thought," As expected."

Although it was expected, it was inevitable that a trace of disappointment arose.

Ye Qingwan was still dressed elegantly, with a touch of coldness in her innocence.

There was a hint of elegance in her charm. This unique temperament was fascinating.

Lu Mingyu was momentarily dazed. He remembered the first time they met after Ye Qingwan returned to the country.

After five years, the girl who had once made his heart race had turned into a goddess with a charm attribute.

It was just like a fermented and mellow wine. After time, it would become even more intoxicating.

"Brother Mingyu, you arrived first?"

Ye Qingwan greeted him first.

Lu Mingyu finally came back to his senses and stood up to greet the two of them.

"Wanwan, Little Duan! I just arrived."

The room was air-conditioned. Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan took off their heavy coats and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter took the coat and hung it on the coat rack.

When he heard Lu Mingyu’s words, he laughed silently. This person had clearly arrived more than half an hour ago, but he said that he had just arrived.

"By the way, Little Duan, are your injuries better?"

Lu Mingyu asked.

Although the situation at that time was a blunder, Lu Mingyu still felt lucky when he recalled it.

Fortunately, it was someone he knew. Otherwise, he might have been blackmailed again.

"It’s all good."

Leng Xiaoduan and Ye Qingwan took their seats one after another." I surprised you last time.""

"I’m fine. It was just a false alarm. But you are seriously injured. Did you go to the hospital? If there is any treatment, I will reimburse the cost."

"There’s nothing else. The small injury was healed long ago."

The waiter poured tea for Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan.

Leng Xiaoduan picked up the cup and took a sip. He pointed at the number plate in the middle of the table and said to Lu Mingyu,

"Take a look at the QR code and see what you like to eat. Order whatever you want. It’s my treat today."

The Immortal Duck required an appointment in advance.

Leng Xiaoduan had already placed an order on their official account.

As for the other freshly made dishes, they could just order them at the scene.

"Aren’t you slapping my face? How could a man and a woman eat together and let the woman pay?"

Lu Mingyu retorted.

"There is no distinction between men and women here. There are only benefactors and those who repay kindness."

Leng Xiaoduan insisted," Seriously speaking, it was Young Master Lu who saved my life last time. Otherwise, why would I be sitting here bargaining with you? It’s settled then. Give me a chance to repay you."

"Little Duan, you’re being too serious. I almost bumped into you last time, so I should be the one apologizing."

"No, I can’t! I fainted and ran a red light. Besides, you sent me to the hospital and paid for the medical fees. Your mistake has long been paid for, so it’s my turn now."

"Xiao Duan, that’s not what you said. If you had blackmailed me directly at that time, I would have to compensate you in addition. Therefore, this meal should still be on me."

"Then I’ll refund you the medical fees you paid last time!"

Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but laugh at this scene.

When other people had accidents, they blamed each other and pushed the blame onto each other. These two people were good. They just took the blame on themselves.

"Are you two here for a meal or a debate?"

Ye Qingwan interrupted the two of them as the chopsticks knocked on the table.

"Both of you are right. I think it’s better to let Xiao Duan treat us this time because she’s the one who invited us to this dinner. Next time, Mingyu Bro, you can treat us. You can decide on the dinner. See, isn’t everyone happy?"

Ye Qingwan glanced at Leng Xiaoduan and then turned to look at Lu Mingyu. She suddenly had a bold idea.

When Lu Mingyu heard that there would be a next time, he decisively stopped arguing with Leng Xiaoduan and said,"

"Wanwan’s idea is not bad. Little Duan, you’ll treat this time. I’ll treat you back next time!"

Lu Mingyu indicated that he would give in. In the end, Leng Xiaoduan would pay the bill and proceed according to the original plan.

Leng Xiaoduan naturally had no objections.

As for the next time he treated them, that was for the future.

The three of them scanned the code separately and could see which dishes they had chosen in the shopping cart so that they would not place the same order.

Because Leng Xiaoduan was treating, Lu Mingyu was more restrained.

She ordered her favorite stir-fried duck gizzard. Ye Qingwan didn’t eat much at night, so she only ordered a vegetarian dish. Correct content is on

Leng Xiaoduan knew that they were being polite.

She ordered two more dishes, but Ye Qingwan told her to take it easy.

The three of them had eaten too much, especially the Immortal Duck that was cooked with all the duck in the pot.

Ye Qingwan felt that she would be full after eating that dish. It would be a waste to order too much.

" Mr. Lu, do you drink?"

Leng Xiaoduan looked up at Lu Mingyu and said.

"They have their own sweet rice wine. It’s very delicious and goes perfectly with the Immortal Duck. Sister Qing Wan, you can try it. If Mr. Lu wants to drive, can I get you something else to drink?"

Lu Mingyu said, since you strongly recommend, that I also taste good taste, turn around I call a substitute driver!"

"Alright."

Soon, the wine and dishes were served.

The Immortal Duck lived up to its reputation.

As soon as the waiter opened the lid of the jar, the fragrance immediately soared into the sky. Ye Qingwan was almost sent away by the fragrance.

The duck meat had been stewed until it was crispy. The bones and flesh had already been separated. When he ate it, he could not smell the medicinal herbs at all.

The greasy and fishy smell of the duck meat was completely neutralized, leaving only an unusual and unique fragrance.

Ye Qingwan had been worried about Zixi and had been recuperating, but her appetite hadn’t fully recovered.

But this dish made her appetite increase.

She had said that she would eat less meat, but in the end, half of the duck had been swept into her stomach.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were two other people, she felt that she could have killed the entire duck. NovelFire

Leng Xiaoduan was right. The Immortal Duck and the sweet rice wine were a perfect match.

The sweet rice wine brewed by this shop was sweet and refreshing.

Ye Qingwan didn’t expect that she would drink too much.

Lu Mingyu drank a few cups of rice wine unknowingly. This kind of rice wine was a little addictive.

The three of them finished the "Immortal Duck" without leaving any leftovers. It left a lingering fragrance on their teeth and cheeks. After eating it, they felt that the aftertaste was endless.

"Xiao Duan, you should have introduced this shop to me earlier. Next time, I’ll bring my son to try it too."

Chapter 527: Take His Car

Ye Qingwan thought to herself,’When Gu Shimo comes back, it’ll be perfect for the family of three to come over and eat.’

No matter how delicious the food was, it would definitely taste best when eaten with the person you loved.

Just like Leng Xiaoduan, he didn’t have the mood to come all the way here to eat.

Lu Mingyu immediately added,"Then I’ll book here next time too.""

Seeing that it was about time, Lu Mingyu made an appointment with a designated driver. The three of them said goodbye at the door.

"Little Duan, how are you going back?"

This time, Leng Xiaoduan and Ye Qingwan also went in different directions.

Gu Feng wanted to send Ye Qingwan home, and Lu Mingyu called for a designated driver. Leng Xiaoduan felt a little awkward.

"Take my car."

Lu Mingyu said.

"Anyway, it’s on the way back. Let the designated driver send Xiao Duan home first and then send me back."

"Alright." Correct content is on NovelFire)

Even if he didn’t take the initiative, Ye Qingwan would have suggested it.

"Little Duan, you can ride with Brother Mingyu. Thank you for your hospitality today."

"Sister Qing Wan, why are you being so polite with me? You’ve always been taking care of me."

Ye Qingwan waited for Lu Mingyu’s designated driver to arrive before she got into the car. She greeted Lu Mingyu and Leng Xiaoduan and left first.

Lu Mingyu gave the car keys to the designated driver and let Leng Xiao sit in the back while he sat in the front passenger seat.

As the car drove on, Lu Mingyu felt a little dizzy. He relaxed his body and leaned back in his chair to rest.

Leng Xiaoduan saw it and said,"

"This rice wine is especially deceptive and has a strong after-effect. The first time I came here, I drank too much and fainted when I got home. How’s Young Master Lu’s alcohol tolerance?"

Lu Mingyu reached out and rubbed his temples." My alcohol tolerance is average, but I should be able to hold on."

"Why don’t you sleep for a while? I’ll wake you up when I get home and get out of the car."

"Alright."

Lu Mingyu accepted her suggestion.

Lu Mingyu leaned against the chair and stopped talking.

He was feeling a little down today, so he wanted to drink a little.

He had always been a very self-controlled person. He had originally thought that he would just drink a little and be slightly tipsy.

Who knew that sweet rice wine would be so wonderful?

It was just like the first time he met Ye Qingwan. It was so pure, sweet, and beautiful. It kept tempting him to drink it, again and again. He was deeply immersed in it...

Just as Leng Xiaoduan had said, this wine was indeed deceptive.

It was a beautiful opening, but it was followed by a heavy blow.

His mind was already a little dizzy.

Leng Xiaoduan knew that this wine was powerful, so he only took a sip and drank half a cup.

Although she was awake, she still closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair to relax.

After an unknown period of time, Leng Xiaoduan felt that he was about to fall asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, the low and deep sound of a cello rang out, waking Leng Xiaoduan up.

This beautiful and sad tune was definitely her ringtone.

There was no voice in the car to begin with, so the sudden ringing of her phone sounded particularly loud. Even Lu Mingyu, who was sitting in the front row, moved.

She quickly took out her phone from her bag and answered the call.

"Sister Qing Wan?"

"Oh, I’ll be home soon."

It was Ye Qingwan. "Speaking of which, the aftertaste of this wine is so strong. I just want to fall asleep on the bed now."

"Indeed, I should have let you drink less."

"Don’t think too much. I don’t mean to blame you. It’s because this wine is too delicious that I can’t stop drinking. You’re almost there, right?"

Leng Xiaoduan glanced outside." Yes, I’m almost there too." Sister Qing Wan, rest early when you get home."

"Yeah, you too. Remember, go to bed early if you have nothing to do. When you have time, earn more money. See you tomorrow."

Knowing that Ye Qingwan was worried about her, Leng Xiaoduan’s heart warmed.

"Sister Qing Wan, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up, Lu Mingyu suddenly asked,"

Do you like classical music?"

Chapter 528: Her Number Is

"Did you hear my ringtone?"

"Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, it should be Rachmaninov’s Vocalise, right?"

"Yes."

"I have a Rachmaninov album in my car, and I like his song,’Vocalise’. You actually used this song as your ringtone. No wonder you were so lost when you crossed the road last time."

Leng Xiaoduan felt a little uncomfortable as if someone had seen through his privacy.

"I haven’t had many calls recently, so I forgot to change my ringtone."

"You should change it. It was said that Rachmaninov was a romantic musician, but his romanticism was full of sadness and sadness. I suggest you change it to Tchaiksky or Haiden, it’s more suitable for your age."

Indeed, it was true. Voice was beautiful and sorrowful. When the music played, the heartbroken person immediately felt heartache and tears fell like rain.

Over the past few days, Leng Xiaoduan had been playing this song every day.

Because this song matched Gu Ziyang’s diary too well.

She looked at the diary and listened to the music. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was clearly in pain, but she could not extricate herself.

The car screeched to a halt.

The driver turned around and said,"We’ve arrived at Yanyang District."" NovelFire

They were outside Leng Xiaoduan’s district.

"Oh, okay, I’ll get off immediately."

Leng Xiaoduan greeted Lu Mingyu before getting off the car.

"I’m home. Thank you for the ride, Young Master Lu. Be careful on the road."

"I will. Goodnight."

One by one

Leng Xiaoduan went back home, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

Before going to bed, he habitually charged his phone.

In the end, she turned her bag upside down but did not find her phone.

He searched the room inside and outside, but he couldn’t find it.

He recalled that the last time she used her phone was when she received a call from Ye Qingwan in Lu Mingyu’s car.

She remembered putting it in her bag. Why couldn’t she find it in her bag?

Did she not put it in her bag and fell into Lu Mingyu’s car?

She quickly put on a coat and knocked on Mrs. Jiang’s door next door, asking her to borrow her phone.

First, she went home and called her cell phone. She didn’t hear the ringtone, so she confirmed that her cell phone wasn’t at home.

She panicked. The cell phone was too important to modern people.

He called again, but no one picked up.

He tried again, but no one picked up.

Without her phone, she felt too insecure.

She wanted to call Lu Mingyu, but she did not know his number.

She wanted to call Ye Qingyao.

However, she realized that she couldn’t remember Ye Qingwan’s number either.

They were all saved in the phone’s address book, and he did not remember the other party’s number at all.

The only thing she could remember was her brother’s phone number.

——

Because Yu Xin’s incident of jumping off a building had been known to the entire Happiness Community, Leng Xiao felt extremely embarrassed.

As soon as he appeared in the neighborhood, it was as if someone was pointing at him.

In addition, he was forced to write a guarantee letter to Yu Xin. In order to avoid conflicts with Yu Xin for a long time, he could not ask for a divorce.

He could only try his best to leave early and return late.

After calculating that Yu Xin was almost asleep, he came back to wash up and sleep on the sofa in the living room.

It was the same today. He only came back at almost nine o’clock. Unsurprisingly, Yu Xin had already taken the child to bed.

Just as she was about to wash up, her phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

"Who is it?"

Puzzled, he picked up the phone.

"Brother, it’s me, Little Duan. I borrowed my neighbor’s phone. I suddenly can’t find my phone. Can you send me Sister Qingwan’s phone number?"

"What happened? Why did the phone suddenly disappear?"

"Yeah, I don’t know what happened either. Let’s not talk about this for now. Bro, let’s go through your contacts and give me Sister Qing Wan’s number. I’ll write it down. Hurry up."

"Oh, okay, don’t worry. I’ll flip through it right away."

Leng Xiao was stunned by his sister’s hurried tone. He quickly switched windows and flipped through his contacts.

" Found it. Take note of it, Wanwan’s number is..."

Leng Xiao’s phone rang, and Yu Xin, who was sleeping in the bedroom, was immediately woken up.

 

Chapter 529: Suspicion

Yu Xin’s heart was too sensitive.

In the middle of the night, her husband’s phone rang. Her first reaction was that the other party must be a woman.

Listening carefully, she could tell that his tone was natural and relaxed. There was no hint of ambiguity or evasiveness.

She guessed that it was Leng Xiaoduan on the other end of the phone, so she was relieved.

Then, she suddenly heard him mention the word " Wanwan " and her heart, which had been instantly relieved, became anxious again.

When he called her, he called her "Yu Xin" and "Yu Xin" with her full name.

When he called Ye Qingwan, he called her " Wanwan " and " Wanwan " intimately.

In the end, he couldn’t appease Ye Qingwan.

She, Yu Xin, was just a tool who rushed to give birth to his child.

He left early and returned late every day. He didn’t even want to see her, let alone touch her.

What was the difference between her and a widow?

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt.

——

Leng Xiaoduan wrote down Ye Qingwan’s number.

After checking with Leng Xiao, he hung up the phone and called Ye Qingwan.

However, Ye Qingwan didn’t pick up after calling twice.

Leng Xiaoduan guessed that Ye Qingwan had probably fallen asleep because of the rice wine. Correct content is on

She had borrowed someone else’s phone, so she couldn’t keep hogging it.

Since he couldn’t get through, he could only forget about it for the time being. He would rush to the company tomorrow morning and use the company’s phone to contact him again.

She was right. Ye Qingwan was really asleep.

The sweet rice wine had a strong aftertaste.

Ye Qingwan hurriedly washed up after she got home and didn’t even have time to tell Zi Xi a story.

She fell onto the bed and fell unconscious. She did not even receive Gu Shimo’s video call.

It was only when she woke up the next morning that she saw many missed calls on her phone.

There were unfamiliar numbers, Gu Shimo’s, and Leng Xiao’s.

During breakfast, Gu Zixi hugged her and kissed her on both her cheeks.

"Mom, are you too tired from work? You didn’t tell me a story last night and fell asleep by yourself."

Ye Qingwan felt embarrassed and kissed him on the cheek.

"I’m sorry, Zixi. Mom accidentally drank some wine yesterday. I didn’t expect to get drunk. Mommy, don’t do it again, okay?"

"It’s okay, Mom. Actually, Mom doesn’t have to tell me stories every day. I can read storybooks myself. Also, I had a long video call with Dad last night, so it’s fine if Mom doesn’t accompany me. Dad is still around."

"My son Xi is so good." NovelFire

Ye Qingwan patted his head.

Her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a company number.

Looking at the time, it was only seven o’clock. Who went to the office so early?

"Hey!" Ye Qingwan picked up the phone.

"Sister Qing Wan, the name of the chaos is Xiao Duan."

"Oh, Little Duan, why are you at the company so early?"

"When I got home last night, I realized that my phone was missing. I don’t know if I left it in Lu Mingyu’s car, but I don’t know his number. The phone that called me just now was turned off. It would be fine if I left it in his car. If it was found somewhere else, I would be a little flustered."

"Okay, wait a moment. I’ll look for his number for you."

"Sister Qingwan, if you find the number, just tell me. I’ve already prepared a pen and paper."

"Got it. Right away."

As Ye Qingwan reported the number, Leng Xiaoduan quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper.

After he finished writing and checked with Ye Qing, he hung up the phone impatiently and dialed Lu Mingyu’s number.

Lu Mingyu was also having breakfast at home.

His phone rang and he glanced at the screen.

The caller ID was Qingyun Wan’s name card. He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up his phone, and walked to the side to answer the call.

Mother Lu’s eyes were like radars as she followed Lu Mingyu for a long time. Then, she turned to Father Lu and gave him a questioning look.

Papa Lu returned her gaze.

He meant for her to not be anxious and focus on eating first..

"Hey!" Lu Mingyu picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Young Master Lu? I’m Leng Xiaoduan."

Hearing Lu Mingyu’s voice, Leng Xiaoduan felt a little relieved.

 

Chapter 530: A Clean and Warm Smile

"Ah, it’s you. Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

"I’m really sorry to disturb you so early in the morning. It’s like this. When I went home last night, I suddenly couldn’t find my phone. I looked around the house, but I couldn’t find it. So I was wondering if I could trouble you to see if I dropped it in your car?" NovelFire

"Okay, don’t be anxious. I’ll go and take a look now."

Lu Mingyu said as he walked towards the door.

He took his car keys, casually put on a jacket, changed his shoes, and went out.

"That rice wine last night was really...I don’t even know how I got home. I heard from my mom that when she opened the door for me, she found me sleeping at the door."

"It’s my fault for not making things clear first yesterday."

"I don’t blame you. How can I blame you? I found this wine to be quite good. It’s practically a hypnotic artifact, and it doesn’t have a hangover headache like other wines. I woke up feeling refreshed this morning and had a good sleep last night."

"That’s good."

"I’m in the elevator. I won’t talk to you now. I’ll call you back after I get into the car, okay?"

"Okay, thank you."

"There’s no need to be so formal."

Lu Mingyu’s car was driven back by a designated driver last night.

He didn’t even remember where he parked the car. After looking for a while, he remembered that he had asked the designated driver to drive into the villa and park the car in the garage.

After getting out of the car, she felt dizzy.

He found his car in the corner of the garage.

He unlocked the car and opened the door of the backseat. Sure enough, he saw a phone covered in a phone case lying on the seat.

He picked up his phone and pressed the power button. It seemed that his phone had run out of battery and had automatically shut down.

He put Leng Xiaoduan’s phone into his coat pocket and immediately called Qingyun Wan’s number.

The call was picked up almost immediately, accompanied by Leng Xiaoduan’s expectant voice.

"Hello, is this Young Master Lu?"

"Oh, it’s me."

Lu Mingyu’s voice was low and gentle." I saw your phone. It was indeed in my car. But your phone is out of battery."

"That’s great."

Leng Xiaoduan was finally relieved.

"It’s still early. Why don’t I go get it now?"

"There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll call an errand boy and get someone to send it to you! Or, I can drive to Qingyun Wan first and send it to you."

"No, no, no. I don’t want to trouble you anymore. I’ll go and get it myself. I really can’t wait."

Last night, she almost lost sleep. She did not even have the mood to reminisce about Gu Ziyang.

"I see. Alright then."

Lu Mingyu could understand her feelings.

If it were him, he would definitely be restless if his phone was not with him.

"Why don’t you sit on the iron seat? I’ll find a seat in the middle so that you can get your phone earlier."

"Thank you. You’re so thoughtful. Which line should I take to get a new order?"

After the two of them agreed on the location, Leng Xiaoduan immediately carried her bag and went out. She looked so eager that people who didn’t know better would think that she was in a hurry to meet her lover.

They took Line 4 and came out of Poyang Road Station’s Gate 2. Leng Xiaoduan waited for a while before Lu Mingyu’s car drove over.

Leng Xiaoduan finally got his phone back. The feeling of regaining his phone made him smile.

"Thank you so much. I’ll treat Young Master Lu to a meal another day to thank you!"

Lu Mingyu subconsciously rejected.

Suddenly, he remembered that Little Leng would never ask him out for a meal alone.

In order to avoid suspicion, he would definitely ask Ye Qingwan to attend.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed his words and said,

"Actually, you really don’t have to be so polite. However, if you insist on treating me, I won’t refuse."

"Then it’s settled. Next time, I’ll ask Sister Qingwan to call you to arrange a time and place."

As expected.

Hearing Ye Qingwan’s name, Lu Mingyu couldn’t help but feel happy.

"Alright."

Her smile was as bright as spring.

In a trance, Leng Xiaoduan seemed to see Gu Ziyang’s face. There was a clean and warm smile on his handsome face. It was pure and beautiful, making people yearn for it.
