He Yaonian still took Mingdai to the social club.
She thought she would have to wait a long time, but He Yaonian arrived in less than fifteen minutes.
Mingdai was surprised, "It's over so quickly?"
He Yaonian was followed by food delivery staff.
Mingdai looked at He Yaonian.
He Yaonian said, "Let's eat first."
Mingdai thought He Yaonian was worried that she was hungry.
She nodded. "Okay."
Even after the staff had set the food on the table and quietly left, He Yaonian was still there.
He sat down with an air of nonchalance.
Mingdai wanted to laugh.
"You're not going to eat with me, are you?"
He Yaonian: "They don't need me over there for the time being, so I'll have some free time eating with you."
Mingdai knew perfectly well that he was saying that on purpose.
Mingdai regretted calling him, as she had to spend time with him while she was out socializing.
But since things had already come to this, I didn't dare to waste any more of his time and quickly sat down to eat.
When she had almost finished eating, her assistant came in to call He Yaonian.
He Yaonian patted Mingdai's head, "Wait for me for twenty minutes."
The assistant was still standing at the door, and Mingdai felt ashamed.
She slapped He Yaonian's hand away, "Go quickly."
He Yaonian chuckled, "He won't tell anyone."
Mingdai glared at him, "Go quickly."
He Yaonian left with a smile.
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Mingdai leaned back on the sofa and scrolled through her phone for a while, not even noticing the time, before He Yaonian had already returned.
"Walk."
He Yaonian bent down and poked Mingdai's forehead. "Go home."
He reached out and grabbed Mingdai's wrist, pulling her up with a little force.
Mingdai lost her balance and fell into his arms.
She quickly pushed him away.
He Yaonian chuckled.
"I kindly pulled you, and you pushed me away."
Mingdai ignored him.
On the way back to the villa, He Yaonian saw a flower shop and insisted on going in to buy a bouquet of flowers for Mingdai.
"No, no need."
Mingdai tried to pull him back, but couldn't.
Finally, He Yaonian pulled her out of the car, and the two went into the flower shop together.
He Yaonian asked Mingdai what kind of girl she liked.
To be honest, Daisy likes them all.
Flowers of all colors are beautiful.
But in order to buy it and leave quickly, she chose a small bouquet, which was easier to wrap and faster.
He Yaonian didn't say anything.
The shop assistant quickly wrapped the flowers, and Mingdai held them in her hands, looking them over a few times. They were really beautiful.
He Yaonian smiled when he saw her eyes sparkling.
"So easy to coax."
Mingdai smiled broadly, "People should know how to be content."
He Yaonian couldn't help but pat her head again.
"right."
The two got back into the car.
However, Mingdai did not know when the driver left; He Yaonian drove himself.
After Mingdai took a few photos and uploaded them to her WeChat Moments, she realized that this might not be the route back to the villa.
She asked He Yaonian, "Where are we going?"
He Yaonian raised an eyebrow, "Where do you want to go?"
Mingdai wasn't afraid that He Yaonian would abduct her, so she naturally didn't care.
But now, being alone with He Yaonian...
Mingdai silently observed He Yaonian, pondering when would be the best time to make her move.
He Yaonian noticed her furtive gaze.
Q: Did you meet with Mo Tingchuan this afternoon?
Mingdai remained silent.
He Yaonian reached out and poked her wrist.
"You're not going to tell me?"
Mingdai's mind was in turmoil after being poked in the head.
She knew why Mo Tingchuan had suddenly agreed; she guessed that he had already called He Yaonian as soon as she left the restaurant.
"He agreed to the divorce."
Mingdai never expected that the divorce would be so easy in the end.
She was grateful to He Yaonian.
"Thanks to your help."
He Yaonian didn't hide anything.
"It was just a coincidence, and I simply gave them a taste of their own medicine."
Mo Tingchuan wanted to deal with the Ming family by withdrawing his investment, but before he could officially launch his plan, He Yaonian had already given him a taste of what it meant to scheme against someone.
"Then how would you like me to thank you?"
Mingdai tilted her head, deliberately trying to act cute.
Her beautiful big eyes darted around.
"If I were to treat you to a meal, you would be at a huge disadvantage."
Mutual help among adults is always an exchange of benefits, and every time He Yaonian helped her, she was unable to give back in kind.
This time, she was even more powerless.
He Yaonian smiled faintly, pursing his lips, "You know."
Mingdai was in a state of utter confusion, but pretended to be oblivious.
"I have no idea."
He Yaonian glanced at her sideways.
His gaze was ambiguous, poised to strike.
Mingdai immediately looked away, not daring to look again.
Before long, she knew where she was.
He Yaonian's private villa.
It's the middle of the night, and a lone man and woman are here.
Mingdai's heart pounded.
She hesitated for a few seconds, gripping the seatbelt.
What's there to be afraid of?
She absolutely had to check He Yaonian's back today.
After Mingdai got out of the car, He Yaonian had already unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
It seemed he was giving her a chance to recover, as he waited for her at the door.
Only after seeing Mingdai get out of the car did He Yaonian's lips curl into a slight smile, his eyes filled with tender affection.
Mingdai caught up with He Yaonian in a few strides.
As He Yaonian gave her a meaningful look, she asked, "Are you staying here tonight?"
He Yaonian burst out laughing.
Do you want to stay here?
Mingdai felt extremely uncomfortable, yet she insisted on putting on a brave face.
"It's not like we haven't stayed there before."
She was referring to the night she was drugged by Mo Tingchuan.
He Yaonian stepped aside and extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, "Then, Miss Ming, please."
