It was late at night, Chen Xu sent Luo Xiyun back to his room and went back to his room.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the two took a car to the airport and flew back, ending their trip to the capital.

After getting off the plane in City G, they went home.

Luo Xiyun pushed open the door and saw Liu Yumeng sitting on the sofa with a facial mask on and the TV remote in her hand. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you coming to my house instead of working at the company at this time?"

"Waiting for you." Liu Yumeng jumped off the sofa and ran over to help her with her luggage, while asking, "How is it? Did you succeed?"

"What was successful?"

"Don't play dumb. You look so radiant, it must have worked, right? Don't worry about the luggage for now. Come, talk to me." Liu Yumeng put the suitcase aside and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"What are you talking about?" Luo Xiyun's face turned slightly red.

Liu Yumeng knew her personality. She would definitely not say anything if asked like this, so she said, "How about this, let's get straight to the point. Have you ever rolled in the sheets?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I won't pay attention to you." Luo Xiyun stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by her again.

"That means it's gone. I knew it." She looked like she had guessed it a long time ago. "If your relationship really reached that point, he would definitely send you upstairs and then not leave. I don't believe he can hold back."

"Hey, you're going too far." Luo Xiyun's face flushed, and she couldn't stand her straightforward words.

"That's right. When a relationship just breaks through, people are inseparable and can't wait to stick together. Your current state is nothing like that." Liu Yumeng said, and then asked, "How far has your relationship progressed? Have you kissed?"

As she spoke, she observed Luo Xiyun's expression, "That means there is no such thing. What about holding hands? No way, no such thing either? Oh my god, don't tell me that you two are in a spiritual relationship. It's so high-end?"

Luo Xiyun said with a somewhat embarrassed look, "Don't talk nonsense, it hasn't come to that yet."

"What?"

Liu Yumeng looked at her in surprise, "Don't tell me that you went to the capital and didn't make any progress. Then what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"

Luo Xiyun thought of the way he put on lipstick last night, and couldn't help but smile, whispering, "Anyway, it's not what you think."

Liu Yumeng looked at her, shook her head and said, "I really can't imagine it. My niece who is in middle school is not as slow as you when it comes to dating."

"But I still have to warn you, men are impatient creatures, don't keep him hooked for too long, or you'll get the chance to take advantage of some slutty bitch."

Luo Xiyun frowned and said, "He is not that kind of person."

"snort."

Liu Yumeng couldn't help but laugh. "You're right. Before, he was so focused on his work that he could remain calm. But now you've provoked him. The situation is different. Once the fire starts, it's not easy to put it out. If you keep him hanging, you can't guarantee that he will be seduced by a woman one day. A man like him will definitely have no shortage of women throwing themselves at him."

Luo Xiyun stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

Liu Yumeng shrugged. She had said everything she needed to say. Whether or not people listened was none of her business. She patted the mask off her face, picked up the remote control, and continued watching TV.

…………

The next few days became busy.

Before we know it, the Lantern Festival is approaching.

On the day of his resignation, he invited all his colleagues in the department to a dinner as a formal farewell. More than a dozen tables were set up in the hotel, and all the company's leaders came and said a lot of nice things.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, he accepted it all and thanked them one by one.

After this meal, it was his second time leaving Wanhua. To be honest, this experience also fulfilled his dream. He remembered that when he just graduated and joined Wanhua, for a long time, his goal was to become a senior executive of the company.

In reality, he resigned from the company before he could realize his dream, which was a bit regretful. This time, his dream finally came true. After becoming the director of the e-commerce department, many people in the company said that he was the third most powerful person in the company and a real leader of the company.

That night, he took a bus back to his hometown.

Before, he would go home to celebrate the Spring Festival with his parents every year, but this year was the first time he didn't go back. Although his parents didn't say it, he knew they were actually not used to it.

When he returned home, it was already very late. He tiptoed upstairs, came to the door, opened it with the key, and saw his mother still sitting in the living room. The TV was on with the volume very low, and she was dozing off.

When she heard the door open, she woke up suddenly, looked up, and said in surprise, "You're back." As she spoke, she walked over to help him with his luggage, "Are you tired from the car ride?"

"I'm not tired, let me do it." Chen Xu heard the noise coming from his parents' room and knew that his father was not asleep yet. He carried the things into the house.

My mother followed me all the way and asked, "Are you hungry? There's still soup in the kitchen. I'll make you some noodles."

"Okay, thanks, Mom."

The two of them came to the kitchen. Mom was making noodles, and Chen Xu stood at the door, chatting with her. They talked about some family matters, such as who went home this year, what car they drove, whether they brought their girlfriends, who went on a blind date during the Chinese New Year, how many girls they met, and so on.

His mother is somewhat nagging. When he was younger than he is now, he would get a little impatient when he heard his mother nagging. Now he is much more patient. When he really can't stand it, he will change the topic.

In fact, he knew that his mother was just trying to persuade him to find a girlfriend as soon as possible.

He had never been particularly close to his parents since he was a child, and after adolescence, they became even more distant. Therefore, when his mother mentioned some sensitive topics, she was a little cautious.

He had not noticed this before and only discovered it in recent years.

He looked at the few white hairs on his mother's temples, feeling a little sad, and said, "Next Spring Festival, I will definitely bring a girlfriend back to celebrate the New Year."

"Then I'll wait." His mother smiled and took the noodles out of the pot.

Chen Xu picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating in the kitchen, saying, "It tastes just like when I was a kid."

His mother was still thinking about what she had just said, and asked, "Do you have a girl you like?"

"Yes, she is very beautiful. And, I know, she likes me too."

"Then you better hurry up. Don't let him slip away."

"Don't worry, you can't run away."
