A cool night breeze blew by, but Duan Ye felt a warmth in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Duan Ye didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and pulled Luo Qingyuan: "Come on, let's go home."
Luo Qingyuan remained motionless: "Wait a moment."
Duan Ye turned around in confusion and saw Luo Qingyuan take out a thermos from her bag and hand it to him to hold.
Duan Ye: "Aren't you coming home with me?"
Luo Qingyuan shook her head: "I'm not going. I have to go on a business trip early tomorrow morning to fly to New York to sign a contract. I'll stay at a hotel tonight, which is close to the airport. By the time I get back, our house will probably be repaired and we can move back in."
Upon hearing this, Duan Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he actually felt a little nervous: "How long are you going to be gone?"
Luo Qingyuan originally wanted to say a week, but seeing Duan Ye's somewhat anxious expression, she didn't say it aloud. Instead, she asked, "How long do you want me to be gone?"
Duan Ye: "The shorter the better."
Luo Qingyuan stared at him intently, and Duan Ye felt a little embarrassed. He simply said, "Our new store is opening tomorrow. How can we manage without the boss's wife?"
Luo Qingyuan glanced at the time before realizing that tomorrow, Wednesday, was indeed the opening time of the new store at noon.
So, Luo Qingyuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll leave after the opening ceremony at noon, okay?"
Duan Ye didn't expect that Luo Qingyuan would actually be willing to postpone the time just because of his words.
Duan Ye was naturally very happy, but…
What will I lose if I arrive late?
Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "We won't lose anything."
In their industry, every second counts. Postponing the process is like letting the dust settle a little longer. It might have some impact on Henglun's stock price, but it doesn't matter.
She will earn back the money she lost later.
After discussing this matter, Luo Qingyuan asked, "Did you see the trending topics?"
Duan Ye nodded: "I saw it, but there's really nothing between her and me. That's all in the past. This trending topic is a bit unusual. I'd like to ask my friends who are online to check it out."
Duan Ye frowned, somewhat displeased. He was just an ordinary person and didn't want to get involved in all this messy trouble. He just wanted to live his peaceful life.
As Luo Qingyuan listened, the slight discomfort she felt vanished.
Luo Qingyuan stepped forward, gently kissed him, and said with some relief, "Luckily, I struck first."
Just as Duan Ye was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction. Duan Ye looked up and saw Chen Doudou with a surprised expression.
Luo Qingyuan also turned her head in the direction of Duan Ye's gaze and saw Chen Doudou.
Chen Doudou greeted him awkwardly, "Hello...long time no see, Duan Ye."
Duan Ye then came to his senses and politely said, "It has indeed been a long time, Dou Dou."
Chen Doudou looked at Luo Qingyuan: "And who is this?"
Duan Ye smiled and put his arm around Luo Qingyuan: "This is my wife, Luo Qingyuan."
Luo Qingyuan smiled gracefully and said, "Hello."
After seeing Luo Qingyuan's face clearly, Chen Doudou couldn't help but be amazed for a moment and said, "You're quite the lucky guy."
Then, Chen Doudou asked, "You actually got married? I didn't hear you say so. Aren't you going to invite us old classmates? That's so inconsiderate!"
Duan Ye: "Qingyuan and I have only registered our marriage, we haven't had a wedding yet. We'll definitely invite you when we have the wedding."
Chen Doudou nodded, somewhat sighing, "That's good, that's good. You've met a good man and settled down early. Well then, I'll stop here. See you later."
Duan Ye: "See you later."
Chen Doudou walked past them, but at the corner of the stairs, she couldn't help but turn back.
For no other reason than that I finally understood why Nanxing cried so sadly.
Duan Ye and that beautiful and generous girl seemed to be a good match.
She had warned Nanxing a long time ago, but Nanxing was wrong, and now it was too late.
Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan didn't pay any attention to this little incident.
Duan Ye said, "Since we're not getting up early to catch our flight tomorrow, let's rest here tonight."
Luo Qingyuan really wanted to, but she wasn't catching a flight. She had a lot of work to do tonight, and she had to personally oversee the aftermath of the scandal. Her employees were still working overtime, and as their boss, she had to go and check on them, maybe even give them a raise or something.
So, Luo Qingyuan shook her head again: "Next time."
Duan Ye understood, but…
This was the first time Duan Ye had ever reached out and hooked his arm around Luo Qingyuan's neck, then lowered his head and kissed her.
The kiss was both lingering and urgent.
When they parted, both of them were a little blushing, whether from holding back their kiss or from a natural bodily reaction, it was hard to tell.
Duan Ye reached out and touched her face: "After I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you back to my hometown."
Luo Qingyuan nodded and only said, "Eat well and don't go hungry again. It will break my heart."
After saying goodbye to Duan Ye, Luo Qingyuan turned and left.
Duan Ye kept watching her back.
Even Duan Ye himself found it somewhat unbelievable; they had only been apart for a short time, yet they were already so reluctant to part…
If time were to pass any longer, would he be unable to leave Luo Qingyuan?
Luo Qingyuan walked to the car, suddenly turned around, and shouted in Duan Ye's direction, "I will try my best, A-Ye, you have to wait for me."
When I'm strong enough, I'll settle everything at home and bring you home with dignity.
Duan Ye smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
He will work hard too. Although he hasn't been a full-time employee for long and isn't as outstanding as his father and brother, he only earns a little over eight thousand a month, and sometimes his pay is docked if he doesn't perform well, but...
