The private room had one-way glass, allowing Ye Zhiwei to see outwards. However, just as Ye Zhiwei looked at Qin Manshu, Qin Manshu seemed to be looking into the room through the glass as well. Ye Zhiwei seemed to only then notice that Qin Manshu's pupils were very dark, and her gaze gave people a sense of oppression, even making Ye Zhiwei forget that the private room was only one-way. She almost wondered if Qin Manshu had also seen her when Qin Manshu turned to Yu Jingchen beside her and said, "Let's go."

Ye Zhiwei had just felt inexplicably nervous.

Although this circle has always been small, Ye Zhiwei still felt strange that Qin Manshu and Yu Jingchen got together. Moreover, why would Yu Jingchen appear in Tang Xin's dessert hotel? Did they not reach an agreement before and plan to cause some trouble here?

The strangest one was Qin Manshu, because Ye Zhiwei remembered that Qin Manshu had shown great interest in Ji Shuli before, and when she was chatting with Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi clearly meant that Qin Manshu's feelings for Ji Shuli were not something that had just happened. Ye Zhiwei was a little confused, and felt that something had gone off track.

Ji Shuli also saw Qin Manshu walking with Yu Jingchen outside. However, compared to Ye Zhiwei's surprise, Ji Shuli was relieved. He had no interest in Qin Manshu, and he had also learned more about the matter from his maternal grandfather. If Qin Manshu were to be too obvious or persistent, Ji Shuli would find it troublesome. But now that Qin Manshu was with Yu Jingchen, whatever her purpose was, Ji Shuli felt a little relieved.

Ye Zhiwei asked Ji Shuli, "Didn't you feel anything when you saw that?"

"What kind of feeling could it possibly have?"

"You—no, at least have some sense of loss like the girl who used to chase after you now likes someone else." Ye Zhiwei was shocked by Ji Shuli's completely indifferent attitude.

Ji Shuli smiled helplessly: "Only scumbags can feel this way."

"That's true, the person you've taken a fancy to is Yingying, that's why you're so indifferent—"

Ji Shuli: This matter will never be over.

Ye Zhiwei asked again, "Has Qin Manshu not contacted you recently? Didn't you say you were going to treat her to dinner?"

Ji Shuli was both amused and exasperated. "Look at me lately, I'm either at the company or at home, and I basically eat at home every day. When have you ever seen me eat out? Do you think my body is eating with you while my soul goes off to find Qin Manshu?"

Ye Zhiwei: ...I almost forgot that we eat together every day.

"That's true, she hasn't tried to chat with you again?"

Ji Shuli hesitated for a moment, "We hardly talked. Maybe we'd interact a little if I posted something on social media."

"Your interaction isn't just about liking each other's posts, is it?"

"cough."

Ye Zhiwei: ...

She found Qin Manshu rather strange, but Ji Shuli's nonchalant attitude made Ye Zhiwei put the matter aside for the time being.

Tang Xin's desserts were served quickly.

I heard that Tang Xin, the person in charge of this dessert project, is a friend of Guan Ju, a high school biology teacher. He has always been passionate about making desserts. After Jiang Jianian provided his dessert-making methods, Guan Ju did not stop. Jiang Jianian's creations are more inclined towards the symmetrical beauty and exquisite craftsmanship of science, and his creations are particularly surprising. He also strictly controls the proportions. Guan Ju's aesthetic is more artistic. He pursues a certain feeling. After his improvements, Tang Xin's desserts and Jiang Jianian's desserts have two different feelings.

After finishing a piece of chocolate, Ye Zhiwei was in a much better mood.

Ji Shuli also took the opportunity to mention Ye Qingcheng's matter. He smiled and said to Ye Zhiwei, "You've been working hard on Uncle's matter lately, but you don't need to be so anxious about this. You should know that any surgery carries risks. Although bone marrow transplantation can indeed cure Uncle's disease with a high probability, there are also other risks, including the possibility of rejection after the surgery is successful. I specifically talked with Dean Li and Jiang Jianian before. If the cancerous white blood cells in Uncle's body can be well controlled, there shouldn't be any major problems. I feel that the cell therapy they mentioned is indeed very good."

Unfortunately, such treatments are certainly not cheap, and it would be difficult for anyone who is not from a wealthy family to afford such a treatment.

Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath. "I know I was too impatient."

“But if this is a good thing, and Uncle can fully recover, then that would truly put people’s minds at ease.” Ji Shuli patted Ye Zhiwei’s hair and smiled, “Don’t worry too much.”

Ye Zhiwei felt much better and said with a smile, "After Dad said that last time, I followed the hospital's arrangements and made an appointment with them for a physical examination, which will take a little while."

"Yes." Ji Shuli saw Ye Zhiwei smile again, and he couldn't resist taking a piece of chocolate. He exclaimed again, "This stuff is really quite delicious—"

Ye Zhiwei immediately stopped her, "Hey, hey, hey, you can order more if you want to eat, how can you take food from me?"

As he spoke, he protectively held the items in front of himself.

Ji Shuli was stunned by Ye Zhiwei's ungrateful face. He was so angry at Ye Zhiwei that he almost laughed, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only call someone over, feeling both annoyed and amused.

A young and beautiful waitress came in. Ye Zhiwei only vaguely sensed something was wrong after the waitress, dressed in a pretty uniform, left. "Cousin."

Miss Ye lowered her voice and asked, "Didn't you say that all the waiters here are young and handsome? And at first, a very handsome guy served us. Why did they leave after standing there for a short while and then a girl came over instead? Aren't there many female waiters here?"

Ji Shuli laughed, "Little cousin, everyone in the business world is shrewd and has a keen eye. Last time, the Ye Group cooperated with Tang Xin. How could Tang Xin's executives not know you? I bet even the higher-ups who came into this hotel with me know. Anyone who pays a little attention knows what relationship you have with Jiang Jianian—their major shareholder. Do you think Jiang Jianian, the company's shareholder, will be angry that they keep sending young men to the shareholder's wife?"

Ye Zhiwei couldn't say a word.

Ji Shuli continued with a smile: "Let me tell you a secret. Just after those young heartthrobs left, your fiancé sent me a message. Do you want to see what he sent?"

Ye Zhiwei swallowed hard, a bad feeling creeping over her. Sure enough, there was a message from Jiang Jianian on Ji Shuli's phone: Keep an eye on Ye Zhiwei. If she has any complaints, let her contact me directly.

Ye Zhiwei: ...
