Since they were in public, the two did not do anything inappropriate. Holding hands, they returned to the car. Han Yunqi said, "I need to get a car in two months, otherwise it will be quite inconvenient."

Previously, when he went out to do business, he drove a rented Mercedes-Benz, which was worth around 500,000 yuan. It wasn't high-profile, but people didn't look down on him too much.

It's not that he likes to show off, or that he can't afford a car but still wants to make a good impression by renting one. It's just that these days, people respect appearances before they respect people. If he has the title of company CEO but has to take a taxi to discuss business, who would pay attention to him?

Forget about meeting with the person in charge; he probably wouldn't even be respected by the security guards at the gate.

He wasn't one to put on a brave face, but he still had to compromise with the current state of society.

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. Not counting her initial investment, Han Yunqi currently had several hundred thousand yuan on hand. The logistics company's monthly turnover was increasing, and after setting aside the necessary working capital in two months, it would indeed be enough to buy a decent car. She didn't mention that she would pay for it herself. Every man has his own principles, and she wasn't that lacking in emotional intelligence.

After the two went to "Xianghe" for a farm-style meal, Han Yunqi patted his stomach with satisfaction and said, "Finally, I've had a proper meal. You have no idea how hard I've been at home this year. I've gotten used to the food you grow in your fields, and it's hard to swallow the food I've eaten since I was a child."

What he didn't say was that Guo Mingli's contribution was indispensable.

Ordinary ingredients, if cooked properly, wouldn't taste that bad. The problem is that Guo Mingli's cooking skills are really terrible. They haven't improved in decades. Even before Han Yunqi became picky about food, he didn't want to eat his mother's cooking.

Having tasted the ultimate delicacy, and then being poisoned by his mother, he naturally couldn't eat anymore.

How could Tang Xiaoxiao not know how good Guo Mingli's cooking skills were?

Even if Han Yunqi wanted to save face for his mother, Tang Xiaoxiao quickly guessed what was going on.

Tang Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh and said, "Then you'll have to work hard to earn money, otherwise if we break up one day, eating these things for three meals a day will be a considerable expense."

Han Yunqi wasn't angry. He said, "I do need to work hard to earn money, but only so that you'll be more satisfied and won't dump me. If you really break up with me, I won't find anything delicious to eat, and life will lose its meaning."

Tang Xiaoxiao made an expression of disbelief and said, "You've gotten a year older over the New Year, and you've become even more glib."

"This isn't just empty talk; it's all from the bottom of my heart." Han Yunqi's expression remained unchanged, as if he were saying something as ordinary as "The weather is really nice today."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't stand his cheesy pickup lines, so the two got up and left the restaurant.

Tang Xiaoxiao rushed home before dark, while Han Yunqi went back to his rented apartment alone, looking miserable. Actually, both Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi were living alone and were a loving couple. They were both adults, so it wouldn't be surprising if something happened between them.

However, Han Yunqi respected her greatly, and even when their feelings were intense, he restrained himself from doing anything excessive. As for Tang Xiaoxiao, she had the body of a young girl but the heart of a mature woman. It was impossible for her not to have some thoughts, but she also enjoyed the current state of being in a relationship where feelings were expressed but kept within bounds. Not long after they got together in their previous life, they slept together one night. It is perfectly normal for men and women to be attracted by lust. Han Yunqi did not think she was frivolous, and she did not think that Han Yunqi did not value her enough.
