"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" The tone was accusatory.

"Um... I was worried about you. You took care of me for so long last night. When I woke up this morning and you weren't here, I thought you should be back by now, so I came to check on you."

Su Miao understood the multiple layers of information implied in the words, but she remained standing there without changing her expression.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry." If anyone should worry, it's not her.

Huo Yanting glanced at Su Miao again without making a sound, then strode towards the restaurant.

Meng Qianwei followed Huo Yanting over and naturally sat down next to him, then ate the breakfast that originally belonged to Su Miao.

Aunt Liu didn't know Meng Qianwei was coming. She only made two breakfasts that morning, one for Huo Yanting and the other for Su Miao, but now Su Miao's breakfast has been eaten by Meng Qianwei.

Aunt Liu glanced at Su Miao somewhat awkwardly.

Su Miao's face remained expressionless. What could she do when breakfast was gone? She turned and went upstairs, grabbed her bag from the bedroom, and decided to eat out so as not to disturb Huo Yanting and Meng Qianwei's meal.

Huo Yanting and Meng Qianwei were dining at the restaurant when they noticed that Su Miao was late, so they asked Aunt Liu, "Where is she?"

Meng Qianwei was taken aback. Her? Who is she?

Aunt Liu naturally knew who Huo Yanting was asking about, but in front of Meng Qianwei, she didn't dare to admit Su Miao's identity and replied, "She just took her bag and went out. She must have something to do."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yanting frowned. "He went out? He didn't even have breakfast. What's he doing out there?"

Meng Qianwei noticed Huo Yanting's expression and was immediately shocked. Was she concerned about the maid?

"Yan Ting, is she referring to that maid from earlier?"

Huo Yanting glanced at Meng Qianwei with a gloomy face. He looked at her with some displeasure, and the word "maid" bothered him.

"Before you came downstairs, I told her that I wanted her to be my assistant. It's better than her being your maid, right?"

"Did I agree to this?" Even if she is a maid, she can only be a maid of the Huo family. What does she have to do with Meng Qianwei?

Huo Yanting's face was terribly gloomy, his dark eyes were almost dripping with water, and his gaze on Luo Ziang and Meng Qianwei was like a sharp sword.

"Yanting, you don't agree? But she's just a maid. You can find another one. I want a maid, but you won't give me one?" Meng Qianwei was a little hurt. Did Huo Yanting really care about that maid?

No, that can't be, it's impossible!

"Stop thinking about it. She belongs to the Huo family; she's not someone you can just give away to anyone." Huo Yanting put down his chopsticks, turned, and went upstairs.

Su Miao is Huo Yanting's wife, and no matter what, she is a member of the Huo family. How could Meng Qianwei belittle her like that?

Meng Qianwei's face stiffened for a moment, and as she watched the man's disappearing figure, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Who exactly is Su Miao? Is she worth Huo Yanting protecting like this?

However, the more Huo Yanting tried to protect her, the more she wanted to destroy him!

...

After leaving Jinlin Bay, Su Miao randomly chose a bus stop and boarded a bus.

While browsing local job postings in the car, Meng Qianwei said she wanted her to be her assistant. She was probably just joking, and she wouldn't take it seriously. She still had to find a job herself.

Su Miao found a job as a restaurant waitress, and since she could go for an interview today, she took a car there directly.

Upon arrival, Su Miao got out of the car, entered the restaurant, and told the staff that she was there for an interview. The staff then led her to the boss for an interview.
