Driven by his worries, Ye Feng returned home as quickly as possible.
He pushed open the door and was greeted by a cold and deserted room.
The room was empty; there was no trace of Liu Qingyi.
Ye Feng's heart sank to the bottom.
Where did she go?
Could it be that she's still with Qin Yifei?
What is it that requires such a long discussion?
Once the idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds.
He tried hard to restrain himself and not let himself think about the worst possible outcome.
But the unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.
If Liu Qingyi really ends up with Qin Yifei...
Ye Feng dared not think any further.
He gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Just then, his phone rang, startling Ye Feng.
The caller ID showed Liu Qingyi.
"Hello?"
"Okay, I'll be home in a bit..."
Liu Qingyi's slurred voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding very drunk.
Ye Feng's anxiety eased slightly.
At least, she's alright.
Ye Feng stood downstairs, waiting anxiously.
One cigarette after another burned, the scarlet flames flickering in the night, reflecting on his ever-changing face.
A black Bentley slowly drove into view and stopped downstairs.
The car door opened, and Liu Qingyi and Qin Yifei appeared one after the other.
Liu Qingyi's clear laughter could be heard from the half-open car window.
Ye Feng felt like his blood was about to freeze.
Inside the car at this moment.
Qin Yifei reached out and gently brushed a stray strand of hair from Liu Qingyi's temple.
The two were pressed close together, extremely intimate.
Liu Qingyi instinctively flinched.
The alcohol had made her a little dazed, but she still managed to let his hand touch her.
"Sorry, I was just helping you remove the dirt from your hair," Qin Yifei explained gently.
Liu Qingyi nodded politely: "Thank you."
Qin Yifei glanced at Ye Feng standing downstairs in the rearview mirror and asked casually, "You're back so late, Ye Feng won't misunderstand, will he?"
Liu Qingyi shook her head: "I already told him I'd be back later."
"I can tell you're very happy right now," Qin Yifei said with a smile.
Liu Qingyi remained silent.
Are you happy?
She didn't know.
Qin Yifei paused, then continued, "I apologize for what happened this morning. I came back not to ruin things between you and Ye Feng."
Liu Qingyi felt his words were a bit awkward: "No need to say so much, I understand."
"No, I want to make it clear that I won't disturb your life," Qin Yifei said sincerely.
Liu Qingyi's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to respond.
Qin Yifei continued, "I will do my best to facilitate the cooperation between the Liu family and the Lingyun Group."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyi's tense nerves finally relaxed.
This was crucial for both her and Lady Liu.
Just as Liu Qingyi was about to thank Qin Yifei, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the car window out of the corner of her eye.
Ye Feng strode toward the Bentley, grabbed Qin Yifei by the collar, and forcefully pulled him out of the car.
"Qin Yifei, what do you mean?"
Ye Feng glared angrily and pointed at Qin Yifei's nose, questioning him.
Qin Yifei staggered a few steps, then straightened his disheveled collar and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Feng swung his fist without hesitation, which landed heavily on Qin Yifei's face.
Qin Yifei's head was turned to the side after being hit, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but he still looked at Ye Feng defiantly: "What, are you jealous?"
Liu Qingyi got out of the car and called out anxiously.
"Ye Feng! What are you doing! Don't be impulsive!"
She quickly walked between the two, trying to separate them.
The cooperation had finally made progress, and she absolutely couldn't let Ye Feng's impulsiveness ruin it.
Qin Yifei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding."
"He just helped me remove the dirt from my hair," Liu Qingyi quickly explained.
Ye Feng sneered, "Dirty stuff? Do you think I'm stupid?"
He turned to look at Liu Qingyi, his eyes stubborn: "In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?"
Feeling wronged, Liu Qingyi's tone became firm.
"Qin Yifei kindly brought me back, and you reacted like this? You're so petty!"
"Qingyi, forget it, don't argue over me," Qin Yifei interjected, acting as if it were none of his business.
Liu Qingyi ignored him and turned to Ye Feng, saying, "Explain yourself clearly!"
Ye Feng's pent-up anger finally exploded: "What time is it? It's the middle of the night, and you're not home, but hiding in a car with a man!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but have you considered my feelings?"
Realizing she was in the wrong, Liu Qingyi softened her tone: "We were talking about work."
"What kind of job requires you to be drunk in the middle of the night?"
Ye Feng stared intently at Liu Qingyi, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
Liu Qingyi said impatiently, "In business these days, what can you accomplish without drinking? You know that!"
Ye Feng wanted to say something more, but Liu Qingyi interrupted him.
"I'm tired. I don't want to argue today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Seeing this, Qin Yifei said to Liu Qingyi solicitously, "Qingyi, let me take you inside."
Liu Qingyi glanced coldly at Qin Yifei: "No need. I agreed to be with you today only from the perspective of a business partner. Mr. Qin, please don't cross the line."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Qin Yifei's face, but he quickly regained his smile.
Liu Qingyi ignored Qin Yifei and went straight into the house.
Watching Liu Qingyi's retreating figure, Ye Feng felt a pang of heartache.
Seeing this, Qin Yifei walked up to him and said provocatively, "Looks like I've come at the wrong time, President Ye."
Ye Feng looked at him coldly: "Are you feeling smug?"
Qin Yifei shrugged: "I'm not so proud, but I feel that the relationship between you and Qingyi seems quite fragile."
He offered a lure: "If you leave now, I can give you a compensation payment so you can leave with dignity."
Ye Feng's eyes sharpened: "What if you don't agree?"
Qin Yifei chuckled lightly: "You won't agree? Then you'll just lose both your money and your lover."
After Qin Yifei finished speaking, he turned and walked towards his car, leaving Ye Feng standing alone in the spot.
Watching Qin Yifei's retreating figure, Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly.
Qin Yifei started the car and drove away.
Ye Feng let out a long breath and was about to light a cigarette when a short honk sounded from across the street.
He looked up and saw a familiar white sports car parked on the side of the road. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a delicate face—Qi Xue.
Ye Feng was stunned.
"Qixue? What are you doing here?"
Qi Xue didn't answer immediately, but gestured to him: "Get in the car first."
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then walked over, opened the car door, and got in.
