He Yaonian stopped in his tracks.

"What?"

He became interested and wanted to know what Mingdai did when he wasn't aware of her.

"She's selecting male models."

Fang Li thought He Yaonian would be angry, after all, what good woman would hire male models?

snort!

She knew Mingdai wasn't a peaceful person.

"What?"

He Yaonian didn't quite believe it.

Mingdai?

Want a male model?

He suddenly remembered that Fang Li had also told him that Ling Yang had this kind of hobby.

Ling Yang invited Ming Dai to dinner again tonight.

Seeing that He Yaonian didn't believe her, Fang Li showed him the photos she had prepared beforehand.

"Look how much Mingdai is enjoying herself."

The photos are blurry, and it's clear they were obtained through illegitimate means.

It's not really clear whether Mingdai enjoyed it or not; all we know is that she was indeed in that kind of environment.

He Yaonian took the photos.

He asked He Xingjian, who was behind him, to escort Fang Li back.

Fang Li refused and wanted to follow He Yaonian, but He Xingjian grabbed her.

Inside the restaurant, Ling Yang and Ming Dai had already started eating.

Ling Yang asked Ming Dai, "What are your plans next?"

Mingdai was peeling shrimp and didn't understand the meaning behind Ling Yang's words.

"What plans can I have? Just work hard and make money."

Ling Yang watched Ming Dai struggling with the shrimp.

"I mean you and He Yaonian."

After Mingdai finished peeling the mask and stuffed it into her mouth, she finally looked at Ling Yang.

She and He Yaonian...

He swallowed the shrimp, saying, "Let nature take its course."

Ling Yang didn't want to get involved in this matter; it wasn't her place to interfere anyway.

but……

"It might be quite difficult."

Being with He Yaonian means facing trials and tribulations.

"fine."

Mingdai's calm demeanor may have been due to the support and confidence she received from Master He and his wife.

There's always a way out.

Ling Yang could only nod in agreement.

"Then I wish you good luck."

Mingdai chuckled, "Aren't you going to try and fight it out again?"

Ling Yang lowered his head and ate.

After a long pause, she shook her head.

"Back then, Fang Li squeezed me out to the point that I couldn't even stay in this city anymore. At that time, I was already very clear about the distance between me and He Yaonian. Although I was unwilling, I have now let it go."

Some things can't be achieved just by trying hard.

Mingdai, on the other hand, admired Ling Yang's pragmatism.

After the two finished eating, Ling Yang put his hand on Ming Dai's shoulder.

"Want to go play for a while?"

Mingdai knew what she meant from her expression.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Ling Yang said disdainfully, "You haven't even done anything with He Yaonian yet, and you're already this afraid of him?"

Mingdai: "..."

She didn't believe Ling Yang wouldn't be afraid of He Yaonian.

Ling Yang said, "You can't be too obedient. You have to keep men feeling insecure at all times. You have to let men know how sought-after you are."

Mingdai was puzzled.

"You seem to have talked a lot; you're so experienced."

Ling Yang said dismissively, "Even without practical experience, don't you understand the principle of armchair strategizing?"

The two walked out arm in arm.

Mingdai was thinking about how to refuse Ling Yang.

Suddenly, Ling Yang obediently pulled her hand back from her shoulder.

Mingdai was puzzled. She looked up and saw He Yaonian's car parked across the street, with He Yaonian standing next to it.

Ling Yang silently leaned her head against Ming Dai's shoulder.

"Mingdai, that's not fair of you. How could you call him here?"

Mingdai thought to herself, "She didn't."

She stared blankly at He Yaonian across from her.

The man was tall and handsome, and he was wearing a tailor-made suit. Passersby were all looking at him.

He, however, kept his eyes fixed straight ahead on Mingdai.

“I don’t know when he arrived, and I didn’t even tell him that I was eating here with you.”

She didn't know how He Yaonian found his way here.

Ling Yang was helpless.

"Looks like we won't be able to play together then."

A pang of sadness welled up in my heart.

He Yaonian was such an aloof and unapproachable person; his world always revolved around work.

But now there's another Mingdai, and she's keeping such a close eye on things.

Ling Yang smiled bitterly.

Is this the difference between loving and not loving?

"Go."

Ling Yang gently nudged Ming Dai's arm. "Let's make an appointment another day."

Mingdai looked at Ling Yang.

"Aren't you going to say hello?"

Ling Yang tried to hide her emotions, but she couldn't help but glare at Ming Dai.

"Although I am magnanimous, it takes time for me to be able to let go of things."

Mingdai was moved.

I didn't mean that.

Just because we can't be lovers doesn't mean we can't be friends.

She knew that Ling Yang had seen it all clearly long ago. No matter who He Yaonian ended up with in the future, Ling Yang knew that he could never be with her.

Therefore, Ling Yang harbored no hostility towards Ming Dai.

"Bye then, I'm off now."

Mingdai waved to Ling Yang.

Ling Yang waved and turned to leave, saying, "Goodbye."

When Mingdai reached the other side of the street and turned back, Ling Yang was no longer in sight.

She smiled, so carefree.

Mingdai looked at He Yaonian.

What brings you here?

He Yaonian opened the car door and let Mingdai get in.

"I'm afraid you'll go and pick up male models."

Mingdai: "?"

He froze for a moment before getting into the car.

He Yaonian then got into the car as well.

There was also a driver in the car, and the two of them sat in the back seat.

As soon as he got into the car, He Yaonian took Mingdai's hand.

"Tell me about it."

Mingdai subconsciously looked ahead.

The driver drove carefully, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
