"Alright, alright, let's eat something first. Maybe we'll find a solution tomorrow." Bai Ningshuang picked up a piece of haor fish for Xiang Jin.

A pungent, fishy smell filled the air, and her stomach churned. Xiang Jin covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom, where she vomited violently.

"What's wrong? Is your stomach upset? I'll take you to the hospital to get it checked out." Bai Ningshuang wiped the water from her mouthwash, feeling a pang of heartache as she looked at her pale face.

"No need, the fish was probably too fishy today, it smelled unpleasant."

"Then we won't eat there. Waiter, check please!"

After leaving the restaurant, Xiang Jin went to the company.

Although it's the weekend, the day after tomorrow is the bidding stage for the jewelry new product showcase, and she still has some design drafts that are not yet finished, so she needs to go back and work on them.

No one was in the office, so Xiang Jin entered the password herself.

She buried herself in drawing.

"Wouldn't it look better if you tucked in your shoulders a little?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Xiang Jin was startled.

"Mr. Xu." She quickly stood up, looking at Xu Jianshen with lingering fear. Why did he always show up at the company in the middle of the night?

Xu Jianshen raised an eyebrow slightly: "Every time I see you, you're working overtime."

Xiang Jin: "I only added it twice, and you happened to be there both times."

"Oh?" Xu Jianshen smiled, glancing at the draft paper next to her, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Is this your handwriting?" He picked up the draft paper and examined it carefully.

"Yes."

"Little girl, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on me, would you?" Xu Jianshen casually picked up a pen and wrote two characters. Not to mention the style, even the strokes were remarkably similar.

Xiang Jin was stunned.

Her handwriting was an imitation of the handwriting left by Murong Xiao in the cave, so how could it have matched Xu Jianshen's?

but--

"Mr. Xu, I'm already married," Xiang Jin replied with a smile.

"Oh. Go home early, it's almost one in the morning. Isn't your husband worried?" Xu Jianshen said, turning and walking outside.

As he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Xiang Jin.

She stood under a beam of light, quietly tidying up her things, her face serene and gentle, reminding him of the girl standing outside the cave when he was a child.

She took a lamp, threw down a corn cake, and saved him and Gu Feiyang.

He broke his leg and was in so much pain he almost fainted. He didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only vaguely hear the noisy Gu Feiyang talking to her. And then, that was the end of it.

Over the years, he, like Gu Feiyang, has also been searching for her.

Unfortunately, it all disappeared without a trace.

After leaving the company, Xiang Jin prepared to take a taxi home.

After waiting for ages, I still hadn't seen a single taxi, and my phone was dead.

Just then, an Audi stopped in front of her.

Xu Jianshen rolled down the car window: "Let's go, I'll take you home. This time, please don't refuse me."

Xiang Jin: "..."

She's not a shy person, and it's past 1 a.m., so it's hard to get a taxi outside. Having someone drive her is definitely a good thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Xiang Jin got into the car.

The Audi slowly drove forward.

"Young lady, where do you live?" Xu Jianshen prepared to navigate.

Xiang Jin gave a location near a villa.

"Isn't Murong Xiao living over there? Are you his neighbors?" Xu Jianshen chuckled.

"No, I just live in a nearby neighborhood," Xiang Jin replied, thinking to herself that it was quite rare for Xu Jianshen to know Murong Xiao.

Just then, Xiang Jin's stomach suddenly started rumbling.

Its call was incredibly loud, like the croaking of a frog...

Xiang Jin awkwardly covered her stomach.

Oh my god, I must have eaten too little at noon, and the movie star even heard me. This is a total social disaster.

At this moment, the car slowly came to a stop on the side of the road.

“Let’s go, I’m hungry too. Let’s treat ourselves to a night market stall. What’s your name again?” Xu Jianshen looked at Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin: "Xiang Jin. Xiang means to believe, and Jin means a bright future."

"Good name." Xu Jianshen opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the night market.

Xiang Jin had no choice but to follow.

The two casually ordered some skewers and noodles, found a table in the open space, and sat down to eat like ordinary citizens.

A few tables were scattered around, and people were glancing this way from time to time.

"Isn't Mr. Xu afraid of paparazzi?"

This was the first time she had ever seen a celebrity eating at a night market late at night.

"What's there to be afraid of? The news is already everywhere, why bother with this one?" Xu Jianshen chuckled.

Xiang Jin nodded: "That's true."

Perhaps he was really hungry, because seeing these skewers made him even more hungry. Xiang Jin said, "You're welcome," and started eating.

"Hey, is that Miss Xiang?" Just then, Murong Xiao's car passed by, and Fang Xinman in the passenger seat rolled down her window. "Is she with the movie star?"

Fang Xinman was slightly surprised.

He turned to look at the back seat.

Murong Xiao, sitting in the back seat, frowned deeply.

He hasn't shown up for over a month, and she's never contacted him. Now it's past 1 a.m., and she's still out fooling around with another man.

Murong Xiao's expression was rather unpleasant.

He opened the door and got out of the car: "I'm hungry, let's get out and get something to eat."

Then I walked straight to the night market.

As soon as Murong Xiao appeared, gasps of surprise rang out from the two tables at the night market facing the road. Everyone else looked in the direction of the sound and was attracted by the tall, handsome man with an excellent demeanor.

"Tsk tsk, no one screamed when I appeared. Looks like my charm can't compare to CEO Xiao's." Xu Jianshen said half-jokingly.

Murong Xiao stopped in his tracks.

"President Xu, you are too kind. It is not my intention to be superior."

Xu Jianshen's gaze turned slightly cold: "...It's been a long time. President Xiao's habit of driving people crazy has gotten a lot better."

Murong Xiao: "Likewise."

The tense atmosphere was like that of mortal enemies with incompatible personalities.

“There are no seats around, let’s borrow Mr. Xu’s table and share it.” Murong Xiao limped over to Xiang Jin and Xu Jianshen’s table.

Xu Jianshen looked at the dozen or so empty tables and smiled: "I won't lend them out."

Murong Xiao had already sat down: "Thank you, you're welcome."

Xu Jianshen: "..."

Murong Xiao slowly took out a tissue and wiped the oil stains on the table with a disgusted look on his face. Fang Xinman followed behind him and also found a place to sit down.

"I ordered a few extra dishes, Mr. Xu, please don't be shy, we'll pay the bill." She smiled kindly and generously.

"Okay, thank you." Xu Jianshen replied politely. "Boss, copy everything on your stall! He'll pay."

He pointed at Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "Even if you eat your way through this whole street, I can afford it, but can you even finish it?"

Xu Jianshen: "I can't eat it, but I can still make you furious."

Murong Xiao: "..."

He narrowed his sharp eyes and looked at Xu Jianshen. Xu Jianshen was just as imposing and met his gaze.

They've started a head-on confrontation again.

"The skewers are here~ Enjoy your meal, four of you." Just then, the shopkeeper brought the skewers over, passing right by the two of them.
