"…I'm here to see a doctor. As for what illness I have, I'm sorry, this is my personal privacy. I can't tell you."

"...I'm not too sure about Mr. Qin's resignation. This was all arranged by the board of directors. I've been in the hospital these past two days. I don't know anything about these things..."

"…I am now in good health and can resume work. Please don't worry…"

Chen Xu looked at Bai Jinxuan in the video and felt relieved as he saw that he seemed to be in good spirits and probably hadn't suffered much.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was Chen Chao calling, "Chen Xu, what's wrong with you? You didn't wear a bang at noon, did you?"

"It's hard to explain in a few words." Chen Xu didn't know what kind of story he had imagined in his mind, but he couldn't really explain it clearly in a few words.

"Do you have time now to come out for a drink?"

"OK."

As soon as Chen Xu hung up the phone, Luo Xiyun called. He subconsciously glanced at the time. It was almost nine o'clock. He was so focused on Bai Jinxuan's matter that he forgot to call her.

He scratched his head and answered the phone, "Hello."

"Where are you now?" Luo Xiyun's voice sounded quite normal, not like he was going to accuse someone.

"I'm at the noodle shop, about to go out. My friend just asked me out for a drink."

"Is it the one I met at noon?"

"right."

"Give me a few minutes."

Chen Xu heard the roar of the engine on the other end of the phone and reminded, "Drive carefully."

After hanging up the phone, he saw Chen Ziqi looking at him eagerly and said, "Don't look at her anymore. Just stay at home and go to bed early."

Five minutes later, Luo Xiyun's car stopped at the door.

Chen Xu said to Aunt Zhou, "Tonight, if I'm not back by twelve o'clock, just lock the door."

After he decided to open a branch store, he promoted Aunt Zhou to store manager, raised her salary, and increased her working hours accordingly. He also gave her a key to the store.

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

Chen Xu opened the car door, got in, and fastened his seat belt.

Luo Xiyun turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly, spreading his hands, "Where's your wallet?"

Chen Xu took out his wallet and handed it over.

She opened it and saw that the space where the photo was originally placed was empty. She asked, "Where is her photo?"

"I already have you, so I won't keep you any longer."

She closed her wallet and said coldly, "Did you tell her that?"

Chen Xu looked at her, suddenly laughed out loud, and said, "You are so cute when you are jealous."

Her face turned a little red with embarrassment, and she said angrily, "Who wants to be jealous of you? Stop being so self-indulgent." Then she threw the wallet back to him.

Chen Xu put his wallet away and said, "Okay, I also want to ask, who is that Du Feng? Blind date? Ex-boyfriend? Hmm?"

Luo Xiyun said angrily, "It's just an ex-boyfriend, what's wrong with that?"

Chen Xu unbuckled his seat belt and rushed towards her.

“Ah—ah!”

…………

The car started after more than ten minutes.

Chen Chao made an appointment at a barbecue restaurant, which was not far away, about half an hour away.

There happened to be a parking lot nearby. Luo Xiyun parked the car and when he got out, he took out a gift bag from the back seat and stuffed it into Chen Xu's hand.

He asked, "What is this?"

Her face was slightly red as she said, "I bought this for you when I was shopping with Yumeng today."

Chen Xu opened it and saw that it was a black wallet. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Luo Xiyun didn't look at him and said, "I see your wallet is quite old, but if you are nostalgic and don't want to change it, it doesn't matter."

"Wait a moment." Chen Xu stood next to the car, took out everything in the old wallet, stuffed it into the new wallet, and after making sure nothing was left out, he threw the old one into the trash can.

Luo Xiyun smiled, took his hand, rested her chin on his shoulder, and walked towards the barbecue restaurant.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over. Until she entered the door of the barbecue restaurant, she suddenly asked, "Have your parents seen her?"

He realized that he was overthinking and said, "No."

"Chen Xu, this way." Chen Chao stood up at a table in the corner near a vertical air conditioner and waved at them.

After the three of them sat down, Chen Xu asked, "Why didn't your wife come with you?"

"There's no way she can leave. The company needs her to look after it."

Soon, the barbecue and beer came up, and the two chatted while drinking.

Luo Xiyun didn't drink, but ordered a bottle of orange juice and sat aside to listen to their conversation. Chen Xu didn't ignore her while they were chatting, and occasionally gave her some meat.

Chen Chao mentioned something, "By the way, your cousin's son will be one month old next week, and he said he wants to hold a full-month banquet. Will you go back then?"

"He called me a few days ago. He finally gave birth to a son, and he called me specially. Of course he has to make time to go back."

"Come to think of it, your cousin is really hardworking. He's already 38 years old, has four daughters, and still wants to have more."

"It's all about having a son. My uncle has always favored boys over girls. He's the eldest son, so the pressure is too great."

Chen Chao glanced at Luo Xiyun and said, "Your father is more open-minded, unlike your uncle who is so old-fashioned. I heard that your grandfather was very dissatisfied with your father because he only had you as his son."

Chen Xu had drunk a few glasses of wine at this time, and was a little drunk. He smiled and said, "Yeah, I still remember when I was a child, my grandma would talk about this every time she called my dad."

The drinking session lasted for more than an hour.

Seeing that he had almost finished drinking, Chen Chao called the waiter to pay the bill, only to find out that the bill had already been paid.

"That's all for today." Chen Xu waved his hand and left with Luo Xiyun.

"Goodbye." Chen Chao waved his hand and couldn't help but sigh after the two walked out the door.

Chen Xu didn't leave the table the whole evening, so it must be his girlfriend who paid the bill.

At this time, he was really a little jealous of Chen Xu. His girlfriend was so beautiful and knew how to give her boyfriend enough face in front of her friends.

He was lucky to have one girlfriend like this. But he ended up dating two girls like this.

It's really unfair.

…………

"Chen Xu, when will you go back?" Luo Xiyun suddenly asked after leaving the door.

"Huh?" After Chen Xu's endurance improved, his alcohol tolerance also increased a lot. After drinking so much beer, his feet were a little dizzy. He was just slightly drunk and looked at her with some confusion.

"Aren't you going back home?"

Chen Xu thought for a moment and said, "Next Wednesday."

"I want to go, too."

"Ah?" Chen Xu was a little surprised. Just then a gust of wind blew and he shivered, then he woke up completely.

"Why, you don't want to?"

"Of course not. I'm so happy." Chen Xu said, "It's just that the company will soon be connected to Fang Dong's online channel. You are so busy, can you spare the time?"

Luo Xiyun said, "It doesn't matter. Liu Kun is here. He can handle it."

Chen Xu paused and said, "I have a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time. What is your relationship with Liu Kun?"

"He is Yumeng's brother."

Chen Xu was very surprised that Liu Yumeng and Liu Kun were actually siblings.

She said, "When I was a kid, our two families were neighbors. We moved away after I went to high school, but I have always kept in touch with Yumeng. Later, Liu Kun joined the company, and with Yumeng's relationship, our cooperation has always been smooth."

"So that's how it is."

Luo Xiyun tilted his head and looked at him, saying, "You haven't been jealous of him, have you?"

Chen Xu said, "There was a little bit of that in the past. After all, he was so outstanding. Before, everyone in the entire company felt that he was the only one worthy of you."

"Him? How is that possible?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to have considered Liu Kun, Chen Xu was a little curious and asked, "Why?"

"He is too old."

He never expected that the reason would be like this, and for a moment, he didn't know how to comment on it.

At this time, they walked to the parking lot, got in the car, and Luo Xiyun said, "I'll take you home."

"Yeah." After getting in the car, Chen Xu felt sleepy and responded.
