Luo Qingyuan had just returned to her hotel room, packed her things, and gone downstairs to check out the food.

But as soon as she entered the elevator, she encountered someone she didn't want to see.

Jiang Jingchuan was also quite surprised to see Luo Qingyuan. After carefully checking the floor, he realized that it was indeed the fifth floor.

The fifth floor has regular guest rooms, this is the Four Seasons Hotel, if he remembers correctly, this is under the Luo family's name.

Luo Qingyuan is the owner of this hotel, yet she's staying in a regular room?

Jiang Jingchuan glanced at her and asked, "What? Did you go bankrupt? Or are you just cosplaying as a poor person here?"

Luo Qingyuan glanced at him indifferently and said politely, "Whether I go bankrupt or not is none of your concern, Mr. Jiang. However, the Four Seasons Hotel would still welcome you. After all, the VIP suites are only suitable for someone like you, Mr. Jiang."

Listening to Luo Qingyuan's usual retorts, Jiang Jingchuan laughed. It seemed that the Luo family was still at the top of the mountain, and nothing had happened.

Jiang Jingchuan wasn't annoyed. He simply said, "We're childhood sweethearts, alumni, and classmates, so why do you dislike me so much?"

Luo Qingyuan didn't even look at him, but kept her eyes straight ahead: "Yes, after all these years, you're still like a leech, impossible to shake off."

"Jiang Jingchuan, are you really willing to do anything to make money? The Jiang family isn't short of money, so why are you so fixated on me?"

Jiang Jingchuan remained silent for a moment, and then the elevator doors opened.

Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to leave, Jiang Jingchuan said, "Didn't you ever think that I was never after your money, but after you as a person?"

Luo Qingyuan was clearly taken aback. Even after she had stepped out of the elevator, she turned back and said, "Jiang Jingchuan, we are both businessmen. Businessmen are only interested in profit. In the face of money, everything else is zero."

"I never believed that someone like you could truly like someone."

They are so alike; they are the same kind of people. The only difference is that Luo Qingyuan is more sentimental than Jiang Jingchuan.

The elevator doors slowly closed, separating the two of them from their own world.

Jiang Jingchuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "As expected of the eldest daughter of the Luo family, you see everything so clearly, and that's precisely why..."

Jiang Jingchuan murmured, "I can't live without you."

Why don't you believe that I'm sincere towards you?

Jiang Jingchuan arrived at the underground parking lot, glanced back at the slowly closing elevator doors, his eyes filled with a complex and unpredictable expression.

"Luo Qingyuan, you better not let me find your weakness."

A weakness is the most undesirable thing for a businessman.

——

At 7 p.m., Duan Ye appeared at the hotel entrance.

The hotel provides meals, and Luo Qingyuan led Duan Ye to the cafeteria.

The food was already laid out, and the old lady had tidied up and was sitting at the table waiting for them.

As soon as Duan Ye walked over, he saw the food on the table. It was very plentiful, with braised lion's head meatballs, Peking duck, several stir-fried vegetables, and steamed prawns.

Duan Ye: "Is the dine-in service at this hotel really that good?"

The old lady smiled and said, "This is something Grandma specially prepared to apologize to you."

Duan Ye was somewhat flattered: "Grandma, this... makes me a little embarrassed."

The old lady said, "Don't be shy. You'll be my grandson-in-law from now on. We're all family, so of course Grandma wants to do everything she can to treat you well."

Duan Ye was somewhat moved, unaware that everything Zhang Shufen had made up was just a fabrication.

These were ordinary home-cooked dishes, prepared according to the most basic standards. It was only because Zhang Shufen had ordered that they not be prepared to a higher standard, otherwise…

However, several of the dishes were specifically requested by Luo Qingyuan because Duan Ye liked them.

Luo Qingyuan: "Let's eat first, we've been busy all day."

Duan Ye nodded, gathered his thoughts, and the three of them began to eat, chatting and laughing.

Until near the end.

The old lady suddenly asked, "Xiao Ye, when are you planning to have children?"

Duan Ye was taken aback. After all, he was still a young man, and his face immediately turned slightly red with embarrassment.

Duan Ye: "Grandma, we're not in a rush..."

The old lady said, "How can I not be anxious? I have to pay attention. After all, my precious granddaughter is not young anymore. It would be dangerous for her to have a child if she were older."

Luo Qingyuan was speechless: "Grandma, are you saying I'm too old?"

The old lady said, "No, no, that's not what Grandma meant."

After casually offering a word of comfort to Luo Qingyuan, the old lady continued to ask Duan Ye, "Xiao Ye, Qingyuan's parents have always wanted to have a grandson. As long as you can have a child, nothing else will be a problem."

The old lady planned to leave all her assets to Luo Qingyuan's child as soon as the child was born.

As a result, none of the Luo family members dared to say anything more, nor did they dare to look down on Duan Ye.

And it's perfectly legitimate.

Anyway, Luo Qingyuan's grandfather has already passed away. She only has this one precious granddaughter. Money is just an external thing. She can't take it with her when she dies. It's better to give it to someone who is valuable.

After all, this was the first time she had ever seen something called "love" in Luo Qingyuan's eyes.

If someone can't even guarantee basic food and clothing, then they should prioritize those. But Luo Qingyuan isn't like that…

The Luo family's daughters were never short of money; having satisfied their material needs, they sought fulfillment on a spiritual level.

Humans have always been social animals.

Luo Qingyuan has never been in a relationship, and she's afraid that this girl will end up alone...

But by a twist of fate, Duan Ye appeared. Duan Ye happened to be a person with sound values, good looks and physique, and a clean family background.
