Luo Qingyuan chuckled lightly: "First of all, those clothes from last night are in my room. Please keep them for future use if you take them out again."

"Secondly, I don't have any money, so I'll only take care of a little bit, and you'll pay later."

"at last..."

Luo Qingyuan moved closer to Duan Ye, her breath brushing against his neck: "I already know your size."

After saying that, Luo Qingyuan went off to do her work, leaving Duan Yefeng bewildered.

Duan Ye scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Something feels off."

But what exactly was wrong? Duan Ye couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Soon, two young women came out, smiling as they presented the bill with both hands: "Mr. Duan, this is the bill for this shipment. Please settle it."

Duan Ye took it and his heart clenched: "One hundred thousand? Are you robbing me?"

The young woman maintained her smile throughout, providing excellent service: "Mr. Duan, these are all custom-made, and made with the finest materials, so..."

Duan Ye then paid the bill with tears in his eyes.

One hundred thousand! That's almost as expensive as his car! His Volkswagen only costs a little over one hundred thousand!

This is incredible!

Soon, the furniture and kitchenware were installed, and the bill was delivered to Duan Ye again, this time even more outrageous: "Two hundred thousand!!!"

Duan Ye: "My God! Is this gold you're carrying?"

After much haggling, Duan Ye paid the bill with tears in his eyes, and finally told Luo Qingyuan, "I'll take care of the household necessities from now on."

Luo Qingyuan nodded silently: "That works too."

She still considered Duan Ye's feelings and didn't buy anything too expensive.

The couple cleaned the house inside and out together. By the time they finished, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and they each took a shower.

When they came out, Duan Ye suggested, "Let's not eat at home today. We've been busy all day. Let me take you out to eat."

Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to agree, her phone rang.

Duan Ye patiently waited for Luo Qingyuan to finish her call.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qingyuan could only look apologetically at Duan Ye: "You'll have to go out to eat by yourself. I still have work to take care of."

Duan Ye: "Okay, you're busy."

Luo Qingyuan immediately went back to change her clothes. When she came out again, she had changed into a fitted white shirt and suit pants. Her long, flowing waves were casually draped over her back, reaching her waist. She had a suit jacket hanging on her wrist and a women's watch on her wrist.

Duan Ye couldn't help but be momentarily amazed.

Luo Qingyuan looked at him: "If you're free tonight, could you come pick me up?"

Duan Ye snapped out of his daze: "Okay, where do you work?"

Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to mention Henglun, she remembered that Duan Ze was also there, so she said, "I'll send you my location later."

Duan Ye nodded, and Luo Qingyuan turned and left.

Duan Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little nervous when he was with Luo Qingyuan.

Before Duan Ye could figure it out, Liu Jie called: "Hey buddy, where are you? Want to hang out?"

Duan Ye happened to be out of the loop, so he agreed: "Okay, send me your location."

Having made arrangements with the people, Duan Ye quickly changed his clothes and went out.

Liu Jie, Lin Feng, and Duan Ye arrived at Haidilao, a hot pot restaurant they often ate at during their school days.

They ordered at exactly 6 p.m., which is lunchtime, and they had to wait a while before going in.

Liu Jie: "It's been a long time since I've had Haidilao. You know what, I really miss it."

Lin Feng: "So, why did you choose this spot today? You know what, I'm getting hungry too."

Duan Ye: "Anywhere is fine as long as there's food."

The three of them chatted and ordered their food, and soon the waiter brought all the dishes to the table.

Lin Feng looked at Duan Ye: "I have a question for you."

Duan Ye: "Release it."

Lin Feng: "Why did you come back so late that night? Where did you go that night?"

Duan Ye had just taken a slurp of spicy tripe when he heard this and couldn't help coughing. The spiciness shot straight to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but turn to the side, cover his mouth and cough, his eyes turning red from coughing.

As Liu Jie handed Duan Ye a piece of paper, his face full of gossip, he said, "There's something wrong! There's definitely something wrong!"

Lin Feng chuckled, "Such a big reaction, you didn't get drunk and sleep with some rich young lady, did you?"

Then, Duan Ye's cough, which had just stopped, started again, this time unstoppable, making his eyes water.

Lin Feng and Liu Jie exchanged a glance, then stood up at the same time. One of them brought Duan Ye water, and the other handed him a piece of paper.

After Duan Ye stopped coughing, his eyes were still red, and Lin Feng caught him and asked, "Don't tell me you really did it?"

Liu Jie: "Brother Duan, are you really that fierce?"

Just as Duan Ye was about to say something, he looked up and saw a familiar face. It was Ye Nuan in the seat to his left.

Liu Jie and Lin Feng also noticed something was wrong. Following Duan Ye's gaze, they saw their old friend and couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

Liu Jie: "I forgot, this is near their school."

Duan Ye wiped away the tears that had come from the spiciness with a tissue: "It's okay, hurry up and eat."

With Ye Nuan's little incident, the atmosphere at the dinner table became rather somber.

Although Liu Jie and Lin Feng were very curious about Duan Ye's night, they decided to wait until after dinner to talk about it.

But to their surprise, instead of going to Ye Nuan, Ye Nuan sat down opposite Duan Ye just as they were finishing their meal.

Lin Feng and Liu Jie looked at each other, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the atmosphere. They both wanted to run away, but Lin Feng was next to Ye Nuan and Liu Jie was next to Duan Ye, so they were stuck inside and couldn't leave.

Liu Jie forced a smile and said, "Junior, I think you might have some misunderstanding about A-Ye. A-Ye and Nan-Xing are just friends, you..."

Ye Nuan looked at Liu Jie: "You're all birds of a feather, I don't believe your story."

Liu Jie awkwardly shut up. Lin Feng wanted to say something, but Duan Ye interrupted him, "Then what are you doing here?"

Ye Nuan's gaze shifted back to Duan Ye. They were some distance away from Duan Ye and the other two, so they could see them but not hear what they were saying. However, she could clearly see Duan Ye's red eyes and tears.

Ye Nuan had already blocked Duan Ye, so she hadn't received any messages from him. This Haidilao restaurant was far from Duan Ye's company, but very close to her school, and it was a place they used to frequent.

She was certain that Duan Ye had come because of her.

She was only there to persuade Duan Ye.

Ye Nuan: "Nanxing is a very good and outstanding person. She will definitely become a big star in the future. Duan Ye, you are not only unworthy of me, but also unworthy of her dazzling appearance."

Ye Nuan's words were too much, and Lin Feng and Liu Jie couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Jie: "Ye Nuan, it's fate that we can be together, and it's also fate that we can't be together. It's better to part amicably. Why do you have to say such hurtful things?"

Lin Feng was also dissatisfied with Ye Nuan: "You can't conclude that there's something wrong with A Ye and Nan Xing's parents just because they had a meal together, junior. Aren't you being too hasty?"
