No matter how hard Xie Wei tries to control his gun, he's still a man full of energy. If he stays with Xu Daiwei like that any longer, he can't guarantee that nothing will happen.

Although Xie Wei knew that Xu Daiwei would agree to whatever he did and would be very happy, Xie Wei did not want to hurt Xu Daiwei because of his own desires. Doing so would be no different from those who bought her at the auction.

Xie Wei didn't consider himself a person of high moral character, but he knew he shouldn't take advantage of or hurt a girl's sincerity towards him.

Perhaps because she had never pursued anyone before, Xie Wei always noticed her clumsy yet sincere little gestures. Perhaps because of the phrase "we're still like brother and sister," Xu Daiwei was overly cautious in pursuing him, as if afraid of crossing that line and incurring Xie Wei's displeasure.

Therefore, Xie Wei wanted to wait until he was sure of his feelings before telling Xu Daiwei properly, and he believed that day was not far away.

Perhaps noticing Xie Wei's predicament, Xu Daiwei's weariness vanished, she smiled contentedly, and then stood up and walked towards the door.

"Brother, get some rest. I'm going to help you expand your territory." Xu Daiwei gave herself a cheering gesture. "Take over the market and support my brother." After saying that, she went out to continue working.

Xie Wei chuckled softly, relieved to see Xu Daiwei's renewed energy. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and left the side room, preparing to depart from Kaiyuan.

Before leaving, he left Xu Daiwei with the words, "Don't force yourself, brother is waiting for you to take care of me." Because of these words, Xu Daiwei's eyes lit up, and her ability to handle things that day soared.

Xie Wei had just left Qiyuan when he received a call from Lu Yan, inviting him to meet at their usual spot. Xie Wei agreed and drove to a restaurant.

The restaurant is called Ta Yun, and it is the most upscale place in the entire capital. The decor is very vintage, and it looks just like an ancient restaurant. Xie Wei and his two friends often come here to get together.

Led to a familiar private room, Xie Wei noticed a man staring blankly at his phone, completely oblivious to Xie Wei's arrival. Xie Wei and Lu Yan hadn't seen each other for over six months. At the last banquet, Xie Wei had heard that Lu Yan was pursuing a girl, and judging by the current situation, he seemed to have succeeded.

Lu Yan is unlike other scions of noble families, otherwise Xie Wei would not have allowed him to stay by his side. However, this kid has never been interested in girls before, so Xie Wei finds it novel that he can act so silly now.

Xie Wei walked over and patted Lu Yan on the head. Lu Yan touched his head and cried out in pain. "Who dares to hit me?" he asked, looking up.

Xie Wei looked at Lu Yan as if he were an idiot. "It's me, what's wrong with that?"

"Third Brother, you're here! Long time no see, give me a kiss." After saying that, she pouted and pounced on Xie Wei.

Xie Wei pushed him away without any politeness, wiping her hands with disgust. "Don't give me that. You're such a good kid. How did you become so stupid from falling in love?"

Lu Yan wasn't angry after hearing Xie Wei's words. He and Xie Wei exchanged a glance and both laughed.

"What's making you so happy?" Lin Qingying's voice came from the doorway. "Count me in!"

As soon as Lu Yan saw Lin Qingying arrive, he immediately said, "Go away, go away! You're everywhere. I could let it go before, but now that I'm in a relationship, I'm not allowed to have any women around me."

Just like Xie Wei had before, Lin Qingying stared at Lu Yan as if he were an idiot. After a while, she seemed to remember something and said, "I heard that the eldest son of the Lu family was shamelessly pursuing a freshman girl a few days ago, and even chased her to her house."

Lu Yan winked at Lin Qingying, signaling her to stop talking. Lin Qingying pretended not to see Lu Yan's gesture and continued talking to herself.

"I also heard that Young Master Lu, who has always been in good health, fell ill for a long time in order to get that girl to take care of him."

Seeing that his actions were ineffective, Lu Yan quickly spoke up to stop him, "Rumors, they're all rumors. How could I possibly do such a thing? If I find out who spread these rumors, I'll teach them a lesson."

Xie Wei and Lin Qingying exchanged a smile as they watched Lu Yan's self-directed and self-acted performance.

"By the way, where's your girlfriend? Aren't you worried you'll be out fooling around?" Lin Qingying looked around but didn't see anyone else besides the three of them. "You're so protective of her, we haven't even had a chance to see her. We thought you came here today to see your girlfriend."

“The little girl is shy, we’ll bring her out to meet you another time,” Lu Yan added. “Besides, what girlfriend is more important than Third Brother? We’re here to welcome him back. We know Third Brother doesn’t like crowds, so the three of us are enough, aren’t we?”

After hearing Lu Yan's words, Xie Wei rolled his eyes and said, "I've been back in the country for over a month, and now you're only thinking of giving me a welcome-back dinner?"

"Hahahaha..." Lu Yan could only laugh awkwardly, pretending not to hear anything, and sat down in his seat.

Xie Wei saw through it but didn't expose it. This kid was willing to work at his family's company for the sake of that girl. He used to hate all the rules and regulations in the company. Seeing this kid grow up like this, Xie Wei was very happy.

The three of them ate and chatted. Xie Wei went to the restroom, and Lu Yan took advantage of this time to quickly ask Lin Qingying a question, speaking very quietly, as if he were secretly doing something naughty.

"Hey, Lin Qingying, what's going on lately?"

Lin Qingying took a sip of soup and replied in a nonchalant tone, "What...what's going on?"

"It's about Third Brother. You've liked Third Brother for so long, aren't you going to let him know?" Lu Yan looked at Lin Qingying's silly expression, and his tone sounded like that of an emperor who wasn't worried but a eunuch who was.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, there will only be more and more women around Third Brother. If you don't make your move soon, someone else might snatch them away."
