Matsuko looked at Sakai, puzzled.
Sakai gestured for her to leave.
"Mr. Gong, I'll head out now."
Gong Chengjue ate the noodles in front of him. Perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten much in the past few days and was really hungry, or perhaps it was because Sakai's cooking really suited his taste, or perhaps it was because there was Su Ziqing's scent left here. Sitting here to eat felt like she was with him. Gong Chengjue suddenly felt that his appetite had improved.
Sakai looked at Gong Chengjue, who was eating noodles in silence, and said, "It was Mr. Feng who asked."
Gong Chengjue remained silent, ate most of the bowl, and then put down his chopsticks.
Sakai handed him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Gong Chengjue elegantly wiped his mouth before looking up at him. "What did you say?"
“I said I’m not familiar with Miss Kitty either, I just happened to see her in Japan,” Sakai said.
Gong Chengjue stood up. "He believed it?"
“…It seems he believes it.” Sakai added, as if remembering something, “Miss Kitty seems to be very important to that Mr. Feng.”
Gong Chengjue walked out of the private room. "I understand."
The response was lukewarm, and there were no further instructions. Sakai wanted to ask if he should say something to Mr. Feng, but since Gong Chengjue had not given any instructions, he did not ask any further questions.
Luo Jinhan hadn't finished eating yet. In the next room, he heard Gong Chengjue and Sakai talking until they reached the corridor. He hurriedly finished a bowl of noodles, quickly wiped his mouth, and ran out.
"Mr. Miya." Sakai's cooking skills were truly amazing. Of course, he was also really hungry; he felt like one bowl of noodles wouldn't be enough for him.
Gong Chengjue glanced at him, then looked away and walked towards the door, leaving only one sentence: "If she comes next time, make her whatever she wants to eat." However, she probably won't come again.
Not only will they not come here, but they'll probably rarely even set foot in the capital city anymore.
Sakai nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Miya, but..."
Gong Chengjue paused slightly. "But what?"
"It's just that this place might not be open for long," Sakai said truthfully.
Gong Chengjue was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "No."
Without saying another word, he walked out of the courtyard. Luo Jinhan followed him. Gong Chengjue, dressed in a black suit, had a sullen face and a hard expression, as if everything had returned to the starting point.

Su's Branch
"From now on, Manager You will take over Manager Tian's previous work. Meeting adjourned." The meeting, which had been arguing for half an hour, ended with Su Ziqing's final words.
Everyone packed up their folders and left the meeting room.
"Ms. Su," the branch manager looked at her, "Are you alright?"
Su Ziqing, who had just finished driving, looked pale and had a light sheen of cold sweat on her forehead.
Su Ziqing felt a warm current flowing out from below her, and her lips trembled slightly. "It's okay."
The CEO looked at her and said seriously, "You don't look like you're alright."
Su Ziqing stood up, feeling the warmth even more intensely, but she still forced herself to stay calm, saying, "I said I'm fine, so I'm fine. You can go out now."
She was the only one left in the conference room. Su Ziqing called Feng Xixuan, but no one answered. He was probably still upset about not being able to find the person he was looking for.
She called Lu Linghong again, but coincidentally, Lu Linghong did not answer the phone.
She stood up, paused for a moment, and felt that she could manage to drive, so she stopped making phone calls.
She didn't let anyone from the company take her to the hospital because she didn't want them to make wild guesses and then report it back to head office.
She has just taken the position of chairperson, and whether it's for the company's sake or for whatever else, it's not appropriate for her to let the company experience another period of turmoil.
Su Ziqing felt uncomfortable all over her body. It was an indescribable discomfort, like the feeling after a fever. She felt very uncomfortable and couldn't muster any strength.
She thought she could drive herself to the hospital, but halfway there she couldn't go on anymore. For safety, she stopped the car halfway and turned on her hazard lights.
A very uncomfortable feeling came from her abdomen, and tears suddenly burst from Su Ziqing's eyes. This was clearly the feeling of threatened miscarriage. Last night, she had been thinking that if being busy could cause the baby to be lost naturally, then it was just not meant to be.
So she hasn't had a proper rest since last night, but when her body actually sends out these signals, she feels extremely upset.
Her hand unconsciously went to her abdomen. "I'm sorry..." She was too willful and didn't protect him properly.
She adjusted the seat slightly to make herself lean back and feel a little more comfortable.
The navigation showed that she was still nearly twenty minutes away from her destination.
Twenty minutes... she can't even last a minute now.
Unable to contact either of her two senior brothers, Su Ziqing briefly considered contacting Gong Chengjue, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Wait a minute, just a little longer, we should be able to go to the hospital soon.
Just then, her phone rang. Seeing that it was her friend Luo Ziqi calling, Su Ziqing's eyes lit up immediately. "Ziqi!"
Luo Ziqi immediately sensed something was wrong when she heard Su Ziqing's voice. "What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"
"Where are you now?" Su Ziqing didn't answer her, but asked her directly for her current address. If it was too far, she couldn't ask her to come over.
Luo Ziqi was puzzled. "In the capital? What's wrong?"
"Specific location".
Luo Ziqi told her the location, which was only a ten-minute walk away. Su Ziqing immediately asked her for help, "Ziqi, I'm on xx Road now, about 100 meters ahead of the second traffic light. Can you come over now? Right away."
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Ziqi knew something was wrong with Su Ziqing's voice as soon as she heard it, and she became even more worried when she heard Su Ziqing stop her car in the middle of the road.
"Don't ask anymore. Come here and don't tell anyone." Su Ziqing didn't tell Luo Ziqi about her breakup with Gong Chengjue.
Luo Ziqi arrived in five minutes, a journey that should have taken ten minutes. She was terrified when she saw the car with its hazard lights flashing. Ignoring her assistant's reminder to wear a mask, she went straight to bang on Su Ziqing's car.
"Ziqing..." Luo Leqi felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Su Ziqing, who was sweating profusely, looked extremely pale. "Where do you feel unwell?"
Seeing her friend arrive so quickly, Su Ziqing smiled with relief, "Can you take me to the hospital?"
She slowly got out of the car, and Luo Ziqi helped her up. When she saw the bloodstains on the car seat, she was stunned for a moment. "You're on your period?"
Do you have menstrual cramps?
Luo Ziqi wasn't even thinking about pregnancy at that moment, let alone the possibility of a threatened miscarriage.
Su Ziqing turned her head and saw the blood on the car seat. Her face showed sadness. Was the baby... lost?
Now, there's no need to agonize over whether to stay or not.
