His gaze occasionally fell on Feng Yuxiao, who was enjoying her meal, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He looked exactly like a pretentious pervert.

Liu Kai, who was watching the show from next door, rolled his eyes for the second time.

Putting aside Feng Yuxiao's identity...

He really wanted to twist Zhong Linyu's ear and yell: "Hey bro, say something! Is this how you pursue a girl?"

Just as an awkward silence fell over the next office.

Feng Yuxiao's tears, which she had finally managed to stop, welled up again, dripping into the bowl of dumplings.

Before Zhong Linyu could say anything...

Feng Yuxiao, whose mouth was stuffed with dumplings, began to sob softly first.

“My dad and I haven’t eaten dumplings for many years since my mom passed away.”

"Kazami... my third uncle, he seems very kind to my father and me on the surface, but actually every year..."

At the crucial moment, Liu Kai's eyes lit up.

He pricked up his ears, ready to hear what Feng Yuxiao would say next; he also wanted to hear about the internal relationships within the Feng family.

However, Zhong Linyu, that terrible teammate, has once again come online.

This time, he was surprisingly sensible and could tell that Feng Yuxiao was thinking about something sad.

He quickly offered words of comfort: "Secretary Feng, today is a good day, don't think about those unhappy things."

"Fuck you!"

Liu Kai was going crazy and couldn't help but curse under his breath through the wall.

Couldn't this incompetent teammate have spoken a few seconds later?!

Upon hearing Zhong Linyu's words, Feng Yuxiao stopped confiding.

A rare, genuine smile appeared on her face as she stared intently at the man sitting stiffly on the sofa.

"Thank you, Staff Officer Zhong. Apart from my mother and the nanny at home, no one has ever made dumplings for me by hand."

"Ahem... I'm glad Secretary Feng likes it."

"I really like it. Staff Officer Zhong, do you know that...?"

"What?"

"Today is not only the Little New Year, but also my birthday."

"Oh, I see. Well then... happy birthday."
