"Yes, I should have realized this a long time ago: people's hearts are unpredictable."
"I really shouldn't have had any illusions about them."
I thought I was different from others, but now it seems we're all the same.
Expecting them to do something amazing is a joke.
Before He Danqing came to the law firm, he had thought about his father's old friends.
Now.
He didn't dare tell his father about these things, fearing that his father would get too agitated and cause problems to arise again in his health, which he had finally managed to recover from.
He Danqing dared not gamble, and finally managed to get his father to put aside his company affairs and rest in peace.
He Danqing will not allow this news to appear in front of his father; he will stop him.
He would never allow his father to meet anyone who tried to spread these dubious rumors.
That's just how reality is.
Even when she was heartbroken, He Danqing was able to remain calm.
He knows very well what he can and cannot do.
It wasn't the result of discussing it with anyone; rather, it's because the current conditions are limited, and we can't do much more.
He sat down opposite Tang Jinyu, his eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought.
After a moment, he suddenly looked up and said, "It's alright, it's all over."
He seemed much more relaxed.
Unlike before, I wasn't on edge, as if I were afraid I would snap at any moment.
Now it feels like I don't need to worry about these things anymore.
He Danqing is indeed someone who can adjust his emotions quickly. Given a little time, he can return to normal.
Tang Jinyu swallowed all the concern she hadn't yet expressed.
Tang Jinyu thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Qi Yi.
[Tang Jinyu: If you don't have any plans for lunch, how about we grab some together?]
[Qi Yi: ??? What's going on? Are you in a good mood today?]
These words sounded like something he didn't know was waiting for him.
Tang Jinyu is behaving very strangely today, that's all Qi Yi could say.
He hadn't noticed anything else, but Tang Jinyu's current tone of voice seemed to be trying to curry favor with him.
Qi Yi was somewhat apprehensive, having no idea what the two of them had discussed in the conference room.
She actually turned around and asked him if he wanted to have lunch together.
That's outrageous, okay?
[Tang Jinyu: I just wanted to ask if you were okay. I made someone feel a bit down, and I was thinking since you were here, we could have dinner together and you could help cheer me up.]
Qi Yi: ......
Qi Yi: I think having you around is enough; we don't need me.
The two argued on WeChat for a long time without getting to the bottom of it.
In the end, Tang Jinyu couldn't hold back any longer.
[Tang Jinyu: Just tell me if you're coming or not!!! Stop with the nonsense!!!]
When did it become so difficult to have lunch together? I've been talking to her for ages, but I still haven't given her a definite answer.
If she doesn't use her trump card, will Qi Yi just keep talking nonsense with her like this?
It's true, not only did they not give her a definite answer, but they also caused trouble for her.
Qi Yi remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone before the message finally arrived.
[Qi Yi: It's just a meal, what's wrong with that?]
Anyway, he had nothing to do at noon, and he was going to stay at the law firm anyway.
It just so happens that He Danqing is there, so having a meal together would be perfect.
If this matter had been told to him, he wouldn't have hesitated at all.
However, the person who told him this was Tang Jinyu, which felt a bit strange.
Other things are fine, but what does it have to do with Qi Yi that she made someone unhappy?
Unexpectedly, she ended up getting angry.
What other option did he have but to agree?
If he doesn't agree soon, she's afraid she'll rush into his office and demand an explanation.
Thinking about this, Qi Yi felt that it was indeed quite troublesome.
Tang Jinyu isn't the type of person with a particularly bad temper, but she can be quite difficult to deal with.
She wouldn't do anything else, just blink her eyes and silently watch you.
Tell me, who could possibly withstand this?
With her pretty face, she could easily use her looks to commit crimes.
If she really looked at people that way, Qi Yi was certain he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Having known each other for so long, it's rare to see Tang Jinyu so persistent about anything.
She could sense that He Danqing was in a bad mood, so how bad must it be?
Qi Yi couldn't help but think about it for a moment, and instantly felt that he really had to eat this meal.
Tang Jinyu put away her phone with satisfaction, then looked at He Danqing with her chin in her hand.
"Want to have lunch together? I invited my senior."
"As far as I can remember, I don't think I've ever had a meal with you all at the same time."
She searched her memory carefully, and it really was true.
Either she ate with Qi Yi, or Qi Yi ate with He Danqing.
In any case, the three of them never sat down together to chat, except in the conference room.
However, the topics discussed in the conference room are always rather serious.
They couldn't chat casually, especially in that kind of environment, where the atmosphere was very tense.
When I try to talk about something else, it feels like I'm just drifting off.
Tang Jinyu couldn't stand that atmosphere, so she simply decided to go somewhere else.
It's perfectly acceptable to say anything during a meal, but given He Danqing's current state, it's not advisable to say anything else that might disturb his peace of mind.
Even if he was mentally prepared, before he came back, he was just an artist.
It will take him some time to adjust to these things.
Indeed, we can't expect too much from He Danqing.
Tang Jinyu could tell that she was driving the person to depression, and she desperately wanted to find a way to make up for it.
Qi Yi would certainly not refuse such a reasonable request, lest he cause the girl to have a mental breakdown.
Qi Yi truly felt that everything was about responsibility.
If there's one person he fears most in this law firm, it's Tang Jinyu. When she gets angry, it's truly earth-shattering.
The kind of person that the entire law firm can't appease.
He Danqing looked at her, knowing he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Even if he could refuse everyone else, he couldn't bear to refuse Tang Jinyu.
She didn't even need to do anything; with just a glance, He Danqing would choose to abandon all her own rules and regulations.
He was a man without principles when it came to Tang Jinyu.
He really liked Tang Jinyu, ever since the first time he saw her.
Furthermore, as he spent more time with her and saw her work ethic, he increasingly felt that she had many attractive qualities.
Over time, my affection for her has become almost overflowing.
He Danqing felt that after living abroad for so long, he had rarely met someone who suited his taste so well.
I don't really want to let go.
However, he knew far too little about Tang Jinyu.
