Is she still that strong woman?
Mingdai recalled Fang Li saying that He Yaonian liked strong women.
My mind was in a bit of a mess for a moment.
"My third uncle probably won't be back tonight."
He Xingye didn't react much to this situation.
"He's like that sometimes; he values his more important friends more."
So much so that they don't even go home?
If it's something you value so much, you can't possibly spend just one night with them, right?
Mingdai dared not show her doubts, knowing that such emotions would easily be noticed by He Xingye.
"Oh, I see."
Mingdai chuckled, "I was just asking, it's nothing."
It was Mingdai's interruption that made He Xingye forget the purpose of coming in. The two chatted briefly for a few more minutes before He Xingye went back to her room.
The room quieted down, and Mingdai became somewhat restless.
She stood on the balcony enjoying the breeze.
The night breeze was cool, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Standing here for a while should have been enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.
But Mingdai was in a state of mental turmoil and her mind was filled with wild thoughts.
She rubbed her hair in frustration, then turned and rummaged through the locked cabinet at the bottom of the bedside table, finding He Yaonian's handkerchief.
That day, after the lady saw her handkerchief, she didn't know why, but she put it on her person.
Fortunately, that's how it is, otherwise Mo Tingchuan would definitely have to find him.
I put the handkerchief in the locked cabinet when I got home last night.
The piece she gave to Mo Tingchuan was indeed one she had seen while shopping; it had a beautiful design, so she bought it on the spot.
Mingdai shuddered as she gently stroked the handkerchief a few times with the back of her fingers.
What is she doing?
Does seeing this object remind you of someone?
At the time, He Yaonian was just using this handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then he shoved it into her hand haphazardly.
There's no explanation.
She was the only one who specially washed it clean and carefully preserved it.
He Yaonian did take good care of her, and would sometimes do things that made her misunderstand.
Ultimately, neither of them ever revealed their feelings for each other; perhaps she was overthinking it?
Mingdai slowly closed the cabinet.
If it's just her having those feelings, that's fine too, so she won't have to struggle with all sorts of things later.
Mingdai got up to take a bath.
The showerhead sprayed down on her head. She stood there for a moment, then raised her small face, letting the strong water flow wash over her pale face.
She only moved away when she could no longer breathe.
Gasping for breath, Mingdai wiped the water off her face, took a deep breath, and began her normal washing routine.
Meanwhile.
He Yaonian drank too much.
The person he was socializing with was indeed Ling Yang.
However, Ling Yang's other colleagues were also with them.
Gu Chengyun arrived later.
He had a good relationship with Ling Yang, and he was also interested in Ling Yang's projects. Moreover, he hadn't seen Ling Yang for a long time, so he treated it as a welcome-back dinner.
Everyone chatted happily for a while, and then Ling Yang's colleague left first.
Just as Gu Chengyun went to the restroom.
Fang Li somehow found out about this place; she was used to being willful.
As soon as he entered, he picked up the wine in Gu Chengyun's glass and splashed it all over Ling Yang's face without any hesitation.
"I told you not to try these little tricks on me, I warned you!"
Fang Li discovered Ling Yang's feelings for He Yaonian back then, but Ling Yang had no background or support at the time, and was targeted by Fang Li in various ways. It was out of desperation that she went abroad to study.
Ling Yang was unlucky; she had just returned when Fang Li started pestering her again.
What are you doing!
Gu Chengyun heard the commotion and rushed out.
He snatched the empty wine glass from Fang Li's hand and quickly called over a waiter to bring a towel to wipe Ling Yang's face.
Having drunk a bit too much, He Yaonian rubbed his temples and glanced indifferently at Fang Li, who was glaring at him arrogantly.
Fang Li only realized she had made a mistake when she saw Gu Chengyun.
She thought it was just Ling Yang and Gu Chengyun there.
Fang Li felt embarrassed and secretly glanced at the disheveled Ling Yang.
"How long are you going to keep being so willful?!"
Gu Chengyun was very angry.
"You've grown up now, you should control your temper. The world isn't the way you want it to be!"
Gu Chengyun's voice was rather loud, and his tone was not very pleasant.
Fang Li really went too far.
Ling Yang was splashed in the face, and most of her shirt was also soaked.
When the weather is hot and the shirt is thin, once the wine gets wet, a woman's curves will inevitably be revealed.
Gu Chengyun draped his suit jacket over Ling Yang's shoulders.
Ling Yang felt extremely embarrassed as she wiped her face with the towel brought by the waiter.
"I'm going to the bathroom to tidy up."
Seeing this, Fang Li bit her lip in grievance and glanced silently at He Yaonian.
He Yaonian propped his temples up with his hand.
"Aren't you going to buy Ling Yang a shirt that fits properly? You splashed her like that, aren't you going to apologize?"
Fang Li couldn't stand He Yaonian's criticism.
She already knew she was wrong, but she still felt very upset when He Yaonian said that to her.
"You know perfectly well how Ling Yang feels about you..."
Fang Li.
Gu Chengyun interrupted Fang Li, saying that if the person involved doesn't want to make things clear, then no one else has the right to make that decision for them.
Fang Li was about to cry.
She stomped her foot and said, "All you do is bully me."
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she was afraid that Ling Yang, who was disheveled, would take the opportunity to throw herself into He Yaonian's arms when he was drunk.
"I'm going to buy her clothes. You're not allowed to leave. I'll be right back."
As soon as Fang Li ran out of the private room, she called Ming Dai.
Since Mingdai doesn't like He Yaonian anyway, rather than letting Ling Yang benefit from him, it's better to have Mingdai come and take He Yaonian away.
