Tang Jinyu left without any hesitation, while He Danqing clearly wanted to reach out and try to persuade her to stay.

Before he could even touch her, a hand suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Qi Yi's face appeared in front of him, and he said without any emotion, "I asked you to come here to talk about serious business, not to interfere with our work."

He Danqing choked for a moment, then reluctantly looked away, "Wasn't this on the way?"

"Besides, she's my lawyer, so I'll definitely have to contact her."

Qi Yi sighed silently, "Come in with me."

After he finished speaking, he led He Danqing to his office.

He called his secretary to make two cups of coffee, pointed to the sofa, and said, "Sit down."

He Danqing, on the other hand, was very outgoing and didn't feel restrained at all.

Before sitting down, he took a leisurely look around the office.

Completely oblivious to being in someone else's office, they commented as they looked around, "Your decor is so simple."

Don't you find it monotonous?

Qi Yi was tidying up the pile of documents on his desk when he heard this and said, "I'm not as busy as you. I'm often not in the office, so even if it's nicely decorated, I don't have time to appreciate it."

He signed the documents on the table before turning his gaze to He Danqing.

"To make a long story short, don't come here to me for no reason."

"And don't bother Jinyu all the time."

“I know exactly what you’re thinking, but I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible.”

"Jinyu isn't the kind of person you think she is. If you want to have fun, find someone else."

Qi Yi's words showed absolutely no mercy. He had known He Danqing for many years, and with his reputation for being a womanizer, he could have picked up over a thousand different women.

If he weren't out of his mind, he wouldn't have made such a decision to bother Tang Jinyu.

He Danqing took a sip of coffee, then looked up at him with an inscrutable expression, and slowly asked, "How do you know I'm not serious?"

If he weren't serious, why would he repeatedly try to create opportunities for chance encounters?

He is still very busy.

Before returning to China, he was just a young painter.

I spend most of my time in the studio, either playing or busy finding inspiration.

Or on the way to collect folk songs.

He wouldn't have returned to China if it weren't for these messy things happening at home.

To trap oneself in this cage.

In his eyes, what happened to the He family was none of his business.

He originally really wanted to distance himself from them, but at the last minute, he changed his mind, contacted Qi Yi, and decided to hand the case over to them.

It took him a long time to make this decision.

He gave up his promising career and his beloved painting.

This is even more painful than the death of He Danqing.

But blood is thicker than water.

When Qi Yi sent Tang Jinyu's information, he was skeptical, thinking that such a young girl could not possibly have any abilities.

Who knew that after just one meeting, he would start thinking about pursuing her?

I don't know if you're serious or not, but your behavior here is pretty average.

"My junior is different from the people you've met."

"She is excellent and hardworking."

"I assigned your case to her because she is very capable."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around."

Qi Yi was too lazy to waste his breath arguing with He Danqing; there was no need for him to spell things out so clearly.

Tang Jinyu was very smart. She graduated from university at the age of nineteen and then went abroad to pursue further studies.

When I returned after completing all my studies, I was only twenty-two.

In just two years, she gained the recognition of the legal profession for her abilities.

She was the most suitable person to handle Qi Yi's lawsuit.

If he hadn't known He Danqing for many years, he really wouldn't have been willing to assign her here.

"I know."

He Danqing frowned, wondering why Qi Yi was so fixated on this matter.

He has already explained that it was his fault.

I was too prejudiced. I've already apologized to Tang Jinyu. Can we please let this matter rest?

“You don’t know. If you had known, you wouldn’t have had that thought.”

Qi Yi slammed the file onto the table with a loud bang.

The loud voice startled He Danqing, who immediately looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you say you came to talk to me about serious business?"

"My relationship with her, and whether I can catch up with her, doesn't seem to be within your scope of work as her boss."

"Outside of work hours, she is still free."

He Danqing felt that this person was angry for no reason. He had only mentioned it to him once, and he had gotten so angry.

What if one day he actually wins her over? What would Qi Yi say?

He Danqing really wanted to see how interesting his expression would be at that time.

He Danqing is someone who loves watching excitement. When he's abroad, he usually goes wherever there's excitement.

Now that he's back in China, his wicked thoughts haven't changed at all.

Qi Yi had a bit of a headache, feeling like he was talking to a brick wall.

He said so much, but it turns out the person didn't listen to a word he said.

Whether he listened or not was not important to Qi Yi, but he still wanted to warn He Danqing.

This person is definitely just doing it for fun; they may never have any real intentions.

Tang Jinyu was a junior classmate he was very close to, and the two had kept in touch since college.

She was there when he first founded the law firm.

No matter how difficult the conditions, she never thought of leaving him.

It wasn't that other law firms didn't try to poach her; Tang Jinyu was outstanding enough, especially after winning several cases, her eloquence impressed everyone.

Even more people are trying to poach our talent.

It wasn't that Qi Yi wouldn't let her go; it was that Tang Jinyu herself had no intention of leaving.

Qi Yi had considered letting him leave and go elsewhere, where he could have better opportunities.

But at that time, Tang Jinyu only said that she would not let Qi Yi bear so much alone during her low point.

Therefore, even though Qi Yi and He Danqing have known each other for so long, when it comes to matters of the heart, he still stands on Tang Jinyu's side.

"Can you have a little faith in me? I'm really not the kind of person who just plays around."

"When have you ever seen me act foolishly when it comes to matters of the heart?"

He Danqing's words are probably worse than saying nothing at all.

After he finished speaking, he could clearly feel Qi Yi's expression changing repeatedly before finally settling into calm, which was quite fascinating.

"I'll be watching you."

"You two would be better off meeting at the company in the future, so I can keep an eye on you both."

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything to her."

He Danqing: ...Do we really need to be so wary of him?

Didn't he just say he really likes Tang Jinyu?

There weren't even any methods to pursue him yet, so how did he end up in such a hopeless situation?

Or rather, the kind of burial where you absolutely don't want to dig him out.

He Danqing didn't want to admit that he had never had such thoughts before meeting Tang Jinyu.
