"Sorry, I have to leave early."

Almost without hesitation, Qin Zheng got up, pushed open the door, and walked out without looking back.

The big boss, who was speaking, was stunned.

"I'm leaving early too!"

Gu Jin grinned, greeted him, and eagerly followed Qin Zheng.

The big boss was dumbfounded.

He watched helplessly as Qin Zheng and Gu Jin blatantly left the meeting early, the whole process, from interrupting him to pushing open the door and leaving, took less than five seconds.

They're so mean!

Where is their authority?

Where is his authority as a big boss?!

Outside the conference room.

Seeing Qin Zheng leave early and walk towards her, Ye Yun was slightly surprised. The next second, she was pulled into his arms, and his familiar scent quickly enveloped her.

"Wife, what brings you here?" Qin Zheng hugged her and nuzzled her ear.

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated. She gently patted the man's broad shoulder. "I came to bring you lunch. Why did you come out? Didn't you say you still had ten minutes before you got off work?"

"You're already here, what's the point of having a meeting?"

Qin Zheng chuckled softly.

“Exactly.” Gu Jin chimed in, one hand in his pocket, leaning against the wall, the other casually waving his car keys, his tone nonchalant: “Besides, we’re just bystanders, it doesn’t matter whether we’re there or not.”

"Note that you are the only one who is just passing by."

Qin Zheng said with dissatisfaction.

Gu Jin scoffed, "Fine, fine, fine, I know you're serious. You want to earn money to support your wife, okay? Just do what you're serious about. Anyway, the money we make belongs to everyone, including me!"

Alright, Qin Zheng was too lazy to say anything more.

Ye Yun watched them bicker with a smile, then lifted the lunchbox in her hand and asked, "Are you going to eat lunch?"

"Eat! My wife only brings me food once in a while, how could I not eat it!" A smile appeared in Qin Zheng's eyes. He let go of her, took her hand, and excitedly headed towards his office. "Come on, to my office!"

Gu Jin followed behind with a grin, "Ye Yun, what delicious food did you make? Is there any for me?"

Ye Yun glanced at him, "No!"

Gu Jin was taken aback.

"Ye Yun, do you have any conscience? I've been through thick and thin with your man, risking my life for him, and this is how you treat me?"

"I know you're not that kind of person. You brought two lunchboxes, you must be lying to me, right?"

"Ye Yun, please pay attention to me!"

"No way, really? You didn't actually prepare lunch for me?"

...So noisy.

Once inside the office, Gu Jin shamelessly followed Ye Yun closely, muttering incessantly, not giving Ye Yun a moment's peace.

Ye Yun placed the two lunchboxes she had brought on the table and opened them.

Golden stir-fried potatoes and green vegetables, topped with a few large red shrimp, instantly filled the entire office with an enticing aroma.

Gu Jin swallowed hard, her mouth watering.

"Wife, sit down." Qin Zheng pulled up a chair and specially put a layer of clothes on it for her.

Ye Yun said thank you.

As soon as she sat down, Gu Jin let out a yelp, slumped dejectedly into the sofa, and seemed to have lost all vitality.

"Little cabbage~ yellow in the field~~ three or four years old~ lost its mother~~" He touched his belly and sang with tears in his eyes.

Ye Yun's lips twitched.

Qin Zheng glanced at him disdainfully, "What are you making such a racket for? Aren't you going to eat?"

"Eat, eat, eat! All I ever see is you! Do you even eat food when it's even available?" Gu Jin sat up abruptly, pointing at the two lunchboxes on the table, her anger barely contained. "Look for yourself! Is there any for me?"

Qin Zheng's eye twitched, too lazy to pay attention to him, and he sat down and handed a pair of chopsticks to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun took the chopsticks and glanced at Gu Jin with a smile, "Should I tell you that I already ate at home before coming here?"

"What?"

Gu Jin's eyes lit up.

He jumped up in a flash, ran excitedly to Ye Yun, and stared at the lunchbox on the table with bright eyes. "So this one is for me?"

Ye Yun waved the chopsticks in her hand. "Beg me, will you?"

"..." Gu Jin immediately made a bitter face, put her hands together, and pleaded, "Please, have some mercy and give me some food. May good people have a peaceful life!"

"Spineless."

Ye Yun chuckled, losing interest in teasing him, and handed him the chopsticks.

Gu Jin immediately took the chopsticks with great joy, picked up the lunchbox, and ran off to the side to enjoy her meal.

Qin Zheng scoffed at this, "If he had any backbone, the sun would have risen in the west."

Gu Jin complained, shoveling rice into her mouth while grumbling back, "Mind your own business! Having food to eat is the most important thing. The food in the cafeteria is awful. I don't know where Lao Gao found that chef. I'll have to replace him sooner or later!"

Qin Zheng scoffed, "If you were that capable, would you need to show off like this?"

"snort!"

Gu Jin stopped bragging and, clearly quite hungry, buried his head in his food and focused on eating.

"Alright, hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon." Ye Yun pushed the lunchbox towards Qin Zheng and urged him.

Qin Zheng nodded obediently.

However, he paused in his eating, "By the way, have you heard about Jiang Yuan and Lin Jiao?"

"What?"

They got divorced.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

"Why so suddenly?" She remembered that Jiang Yuan had said last time that divorce wasn't so easy.

Could it be that what she said to Jiang Yuan last time made Jiang Yuan make up his mind?

Qin Zheng said, "It was indeed a bit sudden, even more sudden than we imagined. It was so sudden that Lin Jiao was the one who brought up the divorce first."

Ye Yun was slightly surprised.
