"What's up with your call?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted your phone to ring so that someone would see it."

"What trouble are you causing?"

Song Xiaohui finally managed to escape from her enthusiastic colleagues and called her son back. Although she guessed it was nothing serious, the answer still surprised her. She said irritably, "Then I'll hang up. I'm at work."

"Don't worry, is it working?"

Xu Jinhuan asked with a smile, "Otherwise, wouldn't the phone call have been a waste of time?"

"It's useful, it's useful."

Song Xiaohui thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Some people actually recognized it and said the phone was so expensive... Anyway, it's just like that."

"That's fine."

Xu Jinhuan was satisfied before hanging up the phone. He had just turned on speakerphone and smiled at Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing, saying, "The plan is working perfectly, very smoothly."

Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing both heard the mother and son talking. Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "Should we call Uncle again?"

"Forget it, I don't know what he's doing."

Xu Jinhuan was afraid that his father was working, so he didn't disturb him. "Let him brag about it after he's had a drink. I won't do it for him."

Chen Xingzhu was a slow eater, and Xie Wanqing was also a slow eater. With someone to keep her company, Xu Jinhuan didn't dawdle and quickly finished her breakfast. She stood up and said, "Whoever finishes last cleans up. I'm leaving now."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "It's alright, take your time eating, I'll clean up."

Chen Xingzhu didn't refuse and smiled, "Then I'll come next time."

The two reached an agreement easily, which disappointed Xu Jinhuan somewhat, and he couldn't figure out what Xie Wanqing was thinking.

To be honest, he was a little worried that Xie Wanqing might actually have feelings for him, and if that wasn't handled properly, it could easily lead to conflict.

But if that were the case, he would still feel somewhat satisfied. Having such a beautiful and charming older woman secretly in love with him would definitely bring him a sense of accomplishment.

Now he's a bit confused about Xie Wanqing's thoughts. Sometimes he feels like she has feelings for him, like letting him peek at her; but other times she doesn't seem to, like right now.

If Xie Wanqing truly had feelings for him, she should have been hostile towards Chen Xingzhu...

Could it be that Sister Xie was completely unaware of the situation between herself and Chen Xingzhu?

Do I really have such a talent for "secret marriage" and "secret romance"?
"How about we drive there?"

After washing the dishes, Xie Wanqing came out and said to Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu, "I still have gas in my car."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and asked, "Does the library charge for parking?"

"I do not know either."

Xie Wanqing thought about it seriously for a moment, shook her head, and then asked him, "Then why don't we just not open it?"

"Let's drive it."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "This is official business. The fuel and parking fees will be reimbursed later."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xie Wanqing cooperated very well, thanking everyone with surprise, just like an assistant. Even when she was smiling brightly and happily, she still gave people a dignified and generous feeling.

However, when paired with her slightly backward-leaning posture while laughing and her even more prominent and enviable figure, she exudes a charming and alluring allure.

Chen Xingzhu was still there, so Xu Jinhuan didn't dare to look at her for long. She stood up with her bag on her back and asked Chen Xingzhu again, "Do you want me to carry this for you?"

"Need not."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

‘Suffer it! ’

Xu Jinhuan was startled and immediately realized that his act of helping her with her bag had only made him look cowardly and guilty.

Even if Chen Xingzhu hadn't thought much about it before, she would have noticed something was wrong.

"Sister, can I help you with this?"

Xu Jinhuan remained calm and asked Xie Wanqing again, behaving as if he were casually trying to curry favor.

It was also a conscious attempt to show her openness and hint to Chen Xingzhu: If I had a guilty conscience, would I dare to help Xie Wanqing carry her bag in front of you?

"Need not."

Xie Wanqing shook her head and refused, then said, "I'll drive." Although she felt that Xu Jinhuan was a better driver, she was preparing to be a good assistant, so how could she let her boss drive?

Chen Xingzhu didn't say anything and went to sit in the passenger seat.

Xu Jinhuan consciously went to the back row and secretly observed Chen Xingzhu's expression, but could not see anything unusual.

'This girl is quite shrewd!'

Historically, Chen Xingzhu was cold-hearted but actually very opinionated and had her own ideas. She was kind but also shrewd and calculating.

She is even younger now, but she already has the beginnings of her future self. Even if he is reborn, he still cannot easily see through her thoughts.

This may be a survival instinct she developed over the years in the environment of a blended family.

"Why is he here?"

As soon as Xie Wanqing arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she frowned. She saw a black Mercedes parked outside the gate, with Ding Wenjie sitting inside playing on his phone, occasionally glancing up at the entrance.

Chen Xingzhu didn't recognize her and couldn't see who she was talking about at a glance, so she subconsciously turned to look at Xu Jinhuan.

"Who?"

Xu Jinhuan peeked out and saw that Ding Wenjie had also seen Xie Wanqing's car coming out. He looked pleasantly surprised and quickly got out of the car, greeting her with a big smile.

After spending this time playing games to build their relationship, he seemed more confident than before, walking with a swagger. However, he quickly controlled his expressions, becoming much more reserved. He bent down slightly and waved to Xie Wanqing in the car, signaling her to stop.

As he was waving, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Xingzhu in the passenger seat through the car window. Seeing her beautiful and pure face, he was stunned and looked a little hesitant.

There's a saying on the internet that goes, "Don't pursue a girl you meet right away; see if her best friend is prettier before making a decision." This isn't someone's original idea; it's a principle that many small circles and certain people have already summarized.

Ding Wenjie felt he was now in this predicament. He hadn't expected Xie Wanqing to have such a beautiful girl in her circle of friends. For a moment, he wavered and didn't know who to pursue.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Xie Wanqing frowned, but then parked the car in an open space outside, got out, and walked a few steps before asking Ding Wenjie, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard you had a fight with your family, so I came to see you."

Ding Wenjie focused on dealing with the immediate situation, forcing a smile as he spoke, but inwardly he was secretly marveling at how much more enthusiastic people were about him online.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and curious about what Xie Wanqing's expression would be when she found out that she was the "Tao Tao" who played games with her online.

?

Seeing the strange expression on his face as he spoke, Xie Wanqing frowned again and asked, "How did you know I was here? Did my parents tell you?"

Ding Wenjie smiled and said, "Your aunt and uncle were just worried about you..."

Xie Wanqing was secretly annoyed. She hadn't expected that her younger brother would tell their parents about her living here just last night, and Ding Wenjie would come and block the door this morning, saying, "I don't need them to worry about me, and I don't need you to interfere."

"Wanqing, that's not right of you."

Ding Wenjie advised him with honest but unpleasant words, "Your aunt and uncle won't harm you. Don't be angry. I heard from them that you're not even willing to take the living expenses they give you anymore. How are you going to live?"

"Don't worry about it."

Xie Wanqing wanted to end the conversation, but Ding Wenjie quickly said, "I came to tell you that I started a company, just landed a big order, and am expanding. You can come work for me!"

He quickly assured him, "Don't worry, you won't have to do anything here, you'll still get your salary, and you can go to the company whenever you want, I guarantee I'll do whatever you say..."

Xie Wanqing was determined to be self-reliant and find something to do when she heard his words, which made her feel like she was being treated like a caged bird. He seemed to be smug and thought it was for her own good, which made her even angrier. She said, "No need, I have a job."

"Did you find a job?"

Ding Wenjie was taken aback, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and pressed, "Where do you work? How much do you earn?"

"none of your business."

Xie Wanqing's attitude towards Ding Wenjie wasn't actually this bad before, but she always did it out of consideration for her parents. Now that she's having a conflict with her parents, she's too lazy to tolerate Ding Wenjie anymore and is about to leave.

"Even if you don't tell me, I'll still be able to find out."

Ding Wenjie caught up with him and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're too young and so beautiful. There are so many bad people in society these days; you're too easily fooled..."

Xie Wanqing was even more annoyed to see that he was clinging to her and wouldn't let her leave. However, she was gentle by nature, and her attitude today was already a sign of her anger. She really didn't know how to deal with Ding Wenjie's persistent pestering.

"Wanqing, I love you..."

Ding Wenjie, afraid of angering her, was about to make a heartfelt confession. He had just begun, building up his emotions, but before he could even begin, a voice behind him interrupted him:
"Sister Wanqing works for me."
