On the way home, Qiao Chu talked to Jiang Zhi about what she had seen that afternoon.
"Honey, I arrived early this afternoon. Grandpa wasn't here. Guess what I saw?"
"Did you see Jiang Tuo?"
"Yes, I also saw Sister Xia burning his paintings. I think they were quite good, it's a pity to burn them! Also, some of the paintings are a bit strange, the colors are all dark and gloomy... I have a feeling that the painter's state of mind is not very good. Moreover, the style of the paintings is all biased towards cool colors. Jiang Tuo... he must have something on his mind."
"Honey, you care about him a lot?"
"I just feel strange, I have a bad feeling about it. My aunt is being unethical, that's her business, we don't need to stoop to her level. Putting everything else aside, Jiang Tuo is family. We see each other all the time, we can't just keep glaring at him with resentment, it's not like he's a bad person!"
Do you think he has psychological problems?
“Even if he doesn’t have a psychological problem, I feel that he has something on his mind and no one to confide in. Perhaps he is introverted and has closed himself off. It’s also possible that his aunt’s domineering nature has put a lot of pressure on him, and if he can’t release it for a long time, it may accumulate and cause serious consequences.”
"..."
Jiang Zhi fell silent, and Qiao Chu continued.
“I tested him, and he was wary of me. I told him that I would invite him to the dinner party in the future so that he could have some fun too. When I saw him, he was on the phone, and his voice was very gentle. The other person was probably a woman.”
“Let’s talk to him another day. Since he was little, A-Tuo has been quite timid, and his aunt has protected him too much. His aunt is indeed very strict with him and has high expectations for him.”
“I think we’re all family, and harmony is the most important thing. Among your generation, A-Tuo is the closest person to us. Help him if you can. I see he’s quite lonely sometimes. He was so happy when Grandpa put food on his plate! I feel he lacks love and warmth. The way your family gets along is indeed quite delicate.”
"My wife makes the decisions, I'll listen to you."
"Honey, will you sulk if I say this?"
"No, don't overthink it. If my parents were still alive, they would probably think the same way. No matter how unreasonable my aunt is, or how fierce their arguments are, they would still want the whole family to be well. Actually, A-Tuo is quite pitiful too!"
"Honey, everything will be alright. We will make sure Grandpa enjoys his old age in peace."
Jiang Zhi nodded and glanced at Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu is truly kind and considerate of others; she is a rare and wonderful wife!
He will cherish her!

Qiao Chu finished the design draft and sent it to Assistant Ling, along with a detailed explanation of the design inspiration and related design details.
Assistant Ling did not reply immediately; she sent it to Wei Yuan first.
She will reply to Qiao Chu once she has received a message.
...
Suddenly, Qiao Nuan received a call from Ye Huai.
She was quite surprised and paused for a moment before answering the call.
This is unbelievable!
Hello!
"Qiao Nuan, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, I... I'm not busy." Qiao Nuan smiled.
"Do you have time tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner!"
"Huh??? Eating?"
Qiao Nuan blinked.
Is she dreaming?
She must have heard correctly, right?
Oh my god! Ye Huai is going to treat her to dinner!
"Um!"
Qiao Nuan's smile deepened, and she was also very excited. "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."
"I'll be waiting for you at the revolving restaurant at 6:30."
"no problem!"
"Let's talk about it later."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Nuan still felt like she had just woken up from a beautiful dream.
Immediately, she pinched her thigh hard.
pain!
If she knew pain, she wouldn't be dreaming.
It was actually true; Ye Huai invited her to dinner.
Qiao Nuan covered her face and laughed, feeling a sweet feeling inexplicably in her heart.
She was really looking forward to their date that evening.
...
Qiao Nuan took two hours off specifically for their date that evening.
She went home, dressed up specially, changed into a beautiful outfit, and put on exquisite makeup.
Li Wanyue noticed that the woman was often smiling foolishly, and no one was talking to her, which surprised her.
"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?"
Qiao Nuan shook her head and smiled shyly, "Mom, it's nothing, don't ask."
"You found money? Did your sister praise you?"
"No, don't make wild guesses."
"You're all dressed up so nicely, are you going on a date? Oh my... you're even wearing perfume and such pretty lipstick!"
"Mom, I'm not going to talk to you. Don't overthink it. I'm leaving."
"Nuan Nuan, do you have someone you like? Who is it?"
Li Wanyue pressed for answers, but Qiao Nuan refused to say anything and left.
...
Li Wanyue stood there in the living room, stunned.
Even after her daughter's figure had disappeared, she still couldn't tear her gaze away.
Qiao Nuan really seems different today!
After a while, Li Wanyue looked at Qiao Yu.
"Do you think our daughter is dating someone?"
"Wanyue, Qiao Nuan is almost 23 years old. It's normal for her to be in a relationship."
"Yu, don't you want to know who your daughter's boyfriend is?"
"Well, your daughter has to tell you! Maybe it's just the beginning, and it's not certain yet. Let's wait patiently."
"Judging from Qiao Nuan's face, it's clear that she's fallen for him. I wonder what kind of person he is?"
"Don't worry about it. Let her talk to him first. Maybe you're mistaken."
"I don't expect my son-in-law to be too outstanding, as long as he treats Qiao Nuan well. My daughter is all grown up now, and her heart is drawn to the outside world."
