Shen Qingli was called in for surgery in the middle of the night, and she was arranged to rest during the day.

After returning home, I simply washed up, forced myself to send my two children to school despite my tired body.

Watching the children jumping and skipping into the campus, she was filled with satisfaction and reluctance.

She knew very well that she might not be able to return to Manchester for a while, and would most likely have to stay in Beijing for a long time in the future. For the sake of her children's lives and her own career, she needed to take root here.

Not having a car really made her anxious when she encountered an emergency like the one she encountered last night.

She decided to go see a scooter.

Zhou Yanchen's figure suddenly appeared in her mind. Last night, he appeared at the door of her dormitory in pajamas, as if he had installed surveillance on her. This was too strange.

Is he sending someone to follow me?

Or does he also live in Donghu County?

Otherwise, what happened last night really cannot be explained.

Shen Qingli pondered secretly.

Pei Yike learned that Shen Qingli was going to buy a car, and Xiaowu happened to have nothing to do, so she happily accompanied him.

Two days later, I came to the 4S store. Various brand-new cars were displayed in the store. Bright lights were shining on the car bodies, emitting dazzling light.

"Ali, what kind of car do you want?" Pei Yike asked softly.

Shen Qingli said without hesitation: "My budget is only about 150,000 yuan, so I'll buy it at this price. Correction is just a step."

In her opinion, a car is just a means of transportation that can meet basic needs.

Pei Yike happened to know the sales manager here. After some communication and selection, Shen Qingli quickly chose a car.

The simple exterior and comfortable interior, though not luxurious, exude a sense of simplicity and practicality.

On the other hand, Zhou Yanchen has been sending people to protect the safety of Shen Qingli and the two children.

The news that she went to the car dealership to buy a car soon reached Zhou Yanchen's ears.

He sat in the spacious and bright office, with a slight smile on his face and laughed softly, "Shen Qingli, I gave you a ride last night. Did you go buy a car today?"

How much do you want to not have anything to do with me?

Shen Qingli: The person I want to stay away from the most is you.

As there was no car in stock, Shen Qingli had to wait a few days to pick up the car she ordered.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Pei Yike's mind turned, "Ali, are you going to my brother's company today?"

After she reminded him, Shen Qingli suddenly remembered that he and Pei Xiao had made an appointment to meet the two private bodyguards at his company at noon. He nodded hurriedly: "Well, if you didn't mention it, I almost forgot it."

Pei Yike smiled and said, "Then I'll call my brother first. It's already noon. Let's have lunch first."

Shen Qingli readily agreed, "Okay."

…

In the spacious and elegant office, Chang Youzheng was meticulously reporting on the subsequent itinerary.

He held a thick schedule in his hand, and the words between the lines revealed professionalism and rigor: "Boss, Mr. Wang has an appointment with you to discuss cooperation at noon. You should leave later."

As he spoke, he turned another page and continued to speak clearly, "In the afternoon you are going to ..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yanchen's phone screen suddenly lit up and a message came into his eyes.

With just one glance, he immediately interrupted Chang You, his tone filled with unquestionable urgency: "Cancel the lunchtime social event, I have to go out for something."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly picked up the suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair and ran out with big strides.

Chang You stood there in a daze, his face full of bewilderment and confusion. He stared blankly at his boss's leaving back, muttering to himself: What happened again?

Pei Yike and Shen Qingli came to the restaurant opposite the Pei Group. The restaurant was elegantly decorated, and soft light shone on the dining table, creating a warm atmosphere.

As soon as he sat down, Pei Yike took out his cell phone and sent a message to Pei Xiao.

At this time, Pei Xiao was busy processing piles of documents in the office, his fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard, his eyes focused and determined.

Suddenly, the phone screen flashed, he looked down and saw a message from his sister. He immediately stopped what he was doing, put on his suit jacket and hurried to the restaurant.

After a while, Pei Xiao came to the restaurant.

He opened the door, glanced at the two people sitting by the window, smiled broadly, and strode over: "You must have waited a long time. Something at the company delayed you."

Pei Yike smiled and said, "We just got together not long ago."

Pei Xiao sat down and asked, "Have you ordered?"

Pei Yike nodded, "We ordered according to our preferences. You can order whatever you want."

Pei Xiao smiled and asked the waiter to order a few more dishes.

At this time, Zhou Yanchen was sitting in the car, his eyes fixed on the front, his expression showing a bit of anxiety and anticipation.

Is her relationship with Pei Xiao so good?

We have developed a relationship and often have dinner together.

Zhou Yanchen walked into the restaurant and immediately caught sight of a few people chatting and laughing not far away.

His eyes darkened slightly, as if a myriad of emotions were surging in his eyes, but he quickly hid them. Then, he walked towards them with steady steps.

"Boss Pei, what a coincidence."

Zhou Yanchen's voice was low and magnetic, breaking the originally harmonious atmosphere at the table.

Hearing the sound, Pei Xiao, Pei Yike and Shen Qingli all raised their heads and looked over.

The moment they looked at Zhou Yanchen, time seemed to freeze for a moment, and a trace of shock appeared on the three faces.

Pei Xiao was the first to come back to his senses, with a proper smile on his face, "What a coincidence, Mr. Zhou made an appointment?"

Zhou Yanchen looked calm and said calmly: "We had an appointment, but that person broke it."

He paused for a moment, glanced at the crowd, and then said, "Do you mind sharing a table with me?"

Since Zhou Yanchen appeared here, Shen Qingli only glanced at him at first, and then she kept her eyes lowered, as if she was deliberately avoiding his gaze.

In her heart, she wondered: Did he do it on purpose or was it really a coincidence?

How could we meet here by chance?

Pei Yike has always been outspoken. With a fake smile on her face, she continued, "If you mind, will Mr. Zhou leave?"

These words were said in a rather sharp way, making the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Zhou Yanchen hesitated for a moment, then responded calmly: "Probably not. I just happened to have something to talk to your brother about. Since we bumped into each other, I don't have to make another trip."

Having said that, he didn't wait for anyone else to respond, and walked straight to the seat next to Pei Xiao and sat down.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingli was sitting opposite him.

After Zhou Yanchen sat down, his eyes naturally fell on Shen Qingli, and he asked softly: "Doctor Shen, are you not on duty today?"

Shen Qingli was thinking about something secretly. She didn't expect Zhou Yanchen to suddenly talk to her. Her heart skipped a beat. In panic, she could only respond briefly: "No."

"Yeah, that's right. You went to the hospital for surgery at three in the morning last night. If you work overtime again today, your hospital will be too inhumane."

As soon as Zhou Yanchen said this, the atmosphere at the table instantly became a little awkward.

What he meant was that Shen Qingli was still with Zhou Yanchen at three in the morning last night.

Pei Xiao and Pei Yike's eyes both fell on Shen Qingli at the same time.

Shen Qingli was embarrassed and annoyed. She didn't expect Zhou Yanchen to tell this to others. She subconsciously raised her foot and kicked Zhou Yanchen hard.

Zhou Yanchen felt pain, but just frowned slightly and didn't say a word.

He looked at Shen Qingli, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

Although Pei Yike was very curious as to why Zhou Yanchen knew this, asking now would make Ah Li feel embarrassed, so she suppressed her curiosity.

Pei Xiao noticed Shen Qingli's awkwardness and quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Zhou, what do you want to tell me?"
