Su Li returned to Peach Garden in a cheerful mood, it was already past midnight.

She had just changed her shoes and was about to go inside when she suddenly saw a dark shadow moving in the living room.

She froze for a moment, then snapped the living room lights on.

Quan Ye, with his hands in his pockets, turned around from in front of the French windows, his cold, dark eyes scrutinizing her.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Quan, it's you."

"Who did you think it was?"

"I thought there was a burglar in the house. By the way, why did you suddenly come back tonight?"

"Can't I come back?"

Su Li pouted. He usually didn't come back to stay at night after meeting with Song Wan, but who knew he would suddenly come back tonight.

"I just wanted to ask, aren't you going to stay with Miss Song?"

"She called me today to discuss some work-related matters; we've been in meetings all day."

"oh."

Is it just a meeting? I can hardly believe it.

Quan Ye walked over slowly, scrutinizing her. "You're back so late. Where did you go today?"

"I went to my relatives' house for a meal. They were so hospitable that they insisted I have a late-night snack before coming back."

"You can actually eat at the same table with your uncle and aunt."

Although Quan Ye didn't know much about her relatives, after these few times, he should know that none of her relatives were easy to deal with, and that she often transferred money to them.

Su Li was too lazy to explain to him, and said in a nice tone, "Master Quan is right, it's getting late, I'm going upstairs to wash up and go to bed."

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I've already eaten."

Quan Ye remained silent.

Su Li realized what was happening and asked, "Mr. Quan, haven't you eaten?"

"There are so many meetings today, I don't have time to eat."

Quan Ye glanced at her lightly, as if hinting at something.

Su Li understood immediately, put down her bag, turned around and went into the kitchen, "Then I'll cook you a bowl of noodles now, the servants are all resting at this time."

"Um."

Quan Ye looked satisfied, turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Looking at him leisurely, Su Li thought that tonight would be the last time she cooked noodles for him, and she would never have to cook for him in the middle of the night again.

Even though she was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping, she still managed to cook a bowl of noodles.

She placed the noodles in front of him, saying, "Mr. Quan, please eat while it's hot. I'll go upstairs to rest now."

"Eat with me, okay?"

He stretched out his long arm and pulled her onto his lap.

Su Li sat in his lap, her heart pounding.

He wasn't planning to do something bad after eating?

No, she's very tired today and just wants to lie down and take a nap.

"I'm already full, you can eat by yourself."

"Then feed me."

In order to get him to sleep early, she had no choice but to pick up the noodles and feed him bite by bite.

Quan Ye seemed to be in a good mood, his large hand gently caressing her waist. "The Quan family is hosting a banquet the day after tomorrow night. You should come along too."

"The day after tomorrow?" A look of surprise flashed in Su Li's eyes, then she said, "I have something to do the day after tomorrow, so I can't go."

Quan Ye slurped up a mouthful of noodles, looked into her beautiful eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

“I made plans with Xiaochen to take him out for a meal. He said he’s under a lot of pressure because his exams are coming up soon.”

Su Chen, who was sleeping soundly in his school dormitory, suddenly sneezed.

"Who's talking bad about me?" He groggily opened his eyes, then turned over and went back to sleep.

Quan Ye thought of her younger brother, a clever and quick-witted child.

"You can bring him over."

"He's too young to be in this kind of situation."

His face showed displeasure, and he grabbed her chin with one hand. "Su Li, besides your brother's matter, what else are you hiding from me?"
