"Look at what you're saying... I've been doing all legal business here, and I'm leaving in the best of both worlds... It's those with arrest warrants on their backs who really run away!"
Cao Jinbo patted my shoulder and laughed, "Regardless of whether your business is legal or not, there's one thing I need to settle with you... You secretly bought a shop from Xiao Bei behind my back, and you made a lot of money... But I suffered a huge loss!"
I exclaimed, "You're still holding a grudge about this!"

Cao Jinbo glanced at his watch, probably in a hurry, and said, "I'll deal with you at the dinner table tonight," before walking out of Jiulongju.
He genuinely believed that I would end up with Ye Zhi...
Yes, in other people's eyes, how could a couple who have been separated for more than a year, who have gone through so much in between, not be inseparable after finally reuniting!
