On the way back after dinner, Meng Sangsang leaned back in the back seat, quietly gazing at the night view outside the window without saying a word.

Qin Xuan asked, "What did your uncle say to you?"

"nothing."

“You still have some hurdle to overcome, so let’s go on vacation tomorrow to help you relax.”

"I'm tired, I don't want to go."

"Then shall I take you to visit Su Li tomorrow?"

Meng Sangsang nodded, finally agreeing to go somewhere.

Silence returned to the carriage.

After a long while, she turned around and approached him, asking, "Do you think if my parents get divorced, will my dad remarry? My mom loves my dad very much, she will definitely be very sad."

"Don't overthink it until it gets to that point."

"But if they really divorce, I'll bring my mother to live with us. As for him, I don't care if he gets beaten to death by my grandfather."

Qin Xuan was amused by her words, "You really hope your dad gets beaten up by your grandpa?"

"Hmph, it's his own fault for not staying put. Whose fault is it?"

Meng Sangsang took a deep breath, feeling exhausted all over.

As she passed the food street, the aroma wafted over, and she opened the car window to take a sniff; her mouth was practically watering.

I didn't eat much for dinner tonight, and my stomach is already protesting.

"Qin bastard, I want to eat stinky tofu, fried skewers, and pancakes too!"

Qin Xuan glanced at the messy food street outside and frowned, saying, "What do you want to eat? Let the housekeeper make it for you at home. It's not clean here."

"What's dirty won't make you sick, so I just want to eat it."

She shook his arm and muttered, "Just eat a little, then we'll go home, okay?"

Qin Xuan, unable to resist her nagging any longer, had no choice but to get out of the car with her, saying, "We agreed to just eat a little."

"Mmm, just a little."

Meng Sangsang happily ran towards the snack street.

Qin Xuan followed slowly behind, his hands in his pockets.

The next day, it was broad daylight.

A phone call woke the two people from their sleep.

Su Li woke up first and patted Quan Ye's chest, "Your phone rang."

Quan Ye slowly woke up, reached out to the bedside table and touched his phone.

"Hello?"

"President Quan, something terrible has happened!"

Su Li regained consciousness and sat up to look.

"What's up?"

"The people from Group X say we didn't follow the rules and leaked the contract details. Their senior management is very upset about this and needs an explanation from us."

"Give way?"

Quan Ye also regained consciousness, sat up, and said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Send me a message explaining the situation in detail."

He hung up the phone.

Su Li asked, "Your project with X Group was going very well, and you were just one contract away from signing. How did this happen?"

He got up and dressed, saying, "The closer we get to the deadline, the more people will be eager to cause trouble. You can sleep a little longer and go home later. I'm going to the company now."

"Shall I go with you?"

"No need, I can handle it myself. You can get some more sleep."

After Quan Ye finished washing up, he kissed her forehead a few times and then left in a hurry.

At the Quan Group, all the president's secretaries and assistants were gathered outside the president's office, the atmosphere heavy.

Lan Qi'er stood nervously in the middle, her two fingers almost raw from digging.

Then they saw Xu Ming lead the senior executives of X Group over and invite them into his office.

Soon Quan Ye arrived, his body seemingly shrouded in a layer of black mist.

As the office door closed, Xu Ming said to them, "Go back to your workstations. I'm going to check you all now. If I find out that any of you have leaked confidential information, I will punish you severely!"

Everyone returned to their seats, but Lan Qi'er's legs were shaking. She secretly took out her phone to send a message.
