It took Su Li half an hour to get from the hospital to Quan Ye's residence.

She went inside but didn't see Xu Ming or the servants; the whole house was quiet.

She placed the medicine on the table and turned to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he turned back, picked up the medicine, and went upstairs.

The study was brightly lit, and Quan Ye was still busy at his desk.

He's a workaholic; he usually stays up until 1 or 2 a.m. before going to sleep.

"Knock knock—"

Hearing the knocking, he looked up and wasn't surprised to see it was her.

"Xu Ming sent you?"

"He said your wound is infected, so I brought some medicine over."

Su Li walked in and placed the medicine on the table. She saw a tall stack of documents in front of him, waiting to be processed.

He's injured but still working so hard. Does he think the Quan family business will go bankrupt if he doesn't work for even one day?

"Leave it here, you can go now."

Quan Ye replied indifferently, then lowered his head and continued writing furiously.

There was a slightly awkward atmosphere between the two, with a chill in the air.

"Shall I apply the medicine for you?"

Su Li stepped forward and opened the medicine bag.

He looked up, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "What, you're not used to me setting you free? Didn't you have a lot of fun today? Why are you coming here to make a fool of yourself?"

"Mr. Quan, I thank you for ignoring me these past few days, but I will take responsibility for your injury."

"You're in charge of Xiao Yu during the day and me at night, you must be quite busy."

Su Li's expression darkened slightly; she wasn't oblivious to the meaning behind his words.

"Mr. Quan, I understand you're in a bad mood because you're injured. Let's apply the medicine first."

Just as her hand was about to touch him, he shook it off.

The medicine bottle in Su Li's hand fell to the ground, and the powder spilled out.

At this moment, Xu Ming came over and stood hesitantly at the door.

Quan Ye turned his head and asked, "What is it?"

"Mr. Quan, our project liaison from Huaxing Real Estate has arrived. Shall we invite her up?"

"Let her come over."

"Okay." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Ming glanced at Su Li a few times as he turned to leave.

A few minutes later, Su Li understood why Xu Ming was looking at her.

Lin Qingqing swaggered in, wearing a red shirt and pencil skirt and nine-centimeter high heels.

As soon as she entered, the entire study was filled with a pungent perfume smell.

Su Li's face changed when she saw her.

We had just fought during the day, and this woman appeared in front of me again tonight!

When Lin Qingqing saw her, her eyes widened, her nostrils flared, and she was full of hostility.

Neither of them uttered a word in front of Quan Ye, but the incident from earlier that day was still swirling in their minds.

Quan Ye immediately sensed something was wrong between them and said coldly, "Fu Zelian sent you here so late?"

Lin Qingqing bowed and scraped obsequiously, “Mr. Quan, I am the deputy director of the marketing content department of Fu’s Huaxing Real Estate. Mr. Fu said that our department should communicate with you more often when we have time. I just happened to be passing by nearby and thought I would come over to check out the project with you first.”

Who talks about work at someone's house late at night? She's up to no good.

Su Li stared at her, standing to the side without leaving.

Quan Ye toyed with the pen in his hand, his handsome brows furrowed in a cold expression. "Is that so? Your company's employees must be really hardworking, still thinking about work so late."

"Yes, yes, especially with such an important partner as you, we all have to be on our guard."

"I happen to have a document here about your company. Come and take a look."

"OK!"

Lin Qingqing was surprised that her move went so smoothly. She happily ran over and pushed Su Li aside.

"Mr. Quan, look at this, our company's plan is..."

The two of them started chatting briefly.

Su Li stood there dumbfounded, pretending to be invisible.

Quan Ye glanced at her out of the corner of his eye; her little face was puffed up with unhappiness.

"Mr. Quan, I'll be going now."

Su Li spoke, but received no response from him, which angered her so much that she turned and left.

Lin Qingqing was excited and eager, and she moved closer to him step by step, her full breasts about to press against his arms.

"Deputy Director Lin, you can go back now. We can talk another day."

She stopped abruptly, looking disappointed. "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Quan Ye raised his eyes and glanced at her, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

Lin Qingqing nodded hurriedly and left.

Su Li went downstairs to leave, but Xu Ming called her back.

"Miss Su, aren't you staying here tonight?"

"Mr. Quan is in a bad mood, I'd better leave first."

Lin Qingqing stopped in her tracks as soon as she heard their conversation.
