Noticing his male colleague's gaze, He Yuheng pulled his hand back and said slowly:

"Last time she played golf, she got angry at me because she was hot and didn't have a hair tie. After that, she put the hair tie on my hand and told me not to take it off."

"He has a terrible temper," he said with a smirk.

The male colleague wasn't sure if he was mistaken, but he could hear a hint of indulgence in his words.

I don't know if he was mistaken.

After all, Wen Zhining always said that she and He Yuheng were like brothers.

"Who told you to say I was hot last time?" Wen Zhining tied her hair up.

Her male colleague glanced at her and whispered, "Ningning, could you give me a hair tie too?"

"Do you want it that badly?" He Yuheng overheard and offered him a suggestion, "Why don't you ask her to give you the one she's wearing on her head, so I don't have to keep wearing it?"

"I want you to wear it all the time." Wen Zhining snorted. "You're so unwilling, but I'll make you wear it anyway."

He Yuheng shrugged helplessly at the person next to her, "Look at her, that's just her temper."

During the meal, the male colleague kept putting food on Wen Zhining's plate. When it was time to pay the bill, he went out for a while.

The others knew what was going on, but remained silent.

After he left and closed the door, Liu Yunxi said, "This meal must have cost him at least half a month's salary, right?"

"There might not be that many," Gan Weiyan said.

He Yuheng chuckled, "Wen Zhining, if he can't afford it, he can just tell me. Don't pretend to be a big shot and end up eating bread at the end of the month."

Wen Zhining didn't say anything, but after her male colleague returned, she asked him quietly, "Did you go pay the bill?"

"Yes." He nodded. "Since it's our first meeting, I should treat you to a meal."

"Let me see the bill." Wen Zhining held out her hand.

He patted his pocket. "I threw it away. It wasn't much money, it's fine."

After finishing their meal and leaving, He Yuheng's car was parked at the intersection, its license plate bearing a striking five eights, clearly indicating He Yuheng's identity.

"Brother He changed cars?" Luan Keke asked with an air of familiarity. "It wasn't this car that took me home last time."

"Let's go, Brother He." Liu Yunxi and Gan Weiyan opened the back door and got into the car first.

Wei Hua had already left.

"Ningning, come quick!" Liu Yunxi called out from the car window, pointing to the passenger seat in front.

Luan Keke quickly tried to open the passenger door and get in.

"I'm not going." Seeing her gesture, Wen Zhining waved her hand. "If Coco wants to sit, let her sit. I'll take a taxi with him."

"You're really forcing yourself to suffer." He Yuheng closed the passenger door and said to Luan Keke, "Then you should take a taxi too."

After He Yuheng returned home, he received a post on Wen Zhining's WeChat Moments, a photo of them holding hands in a car, officially announcing their relationship and tagging that male colleague.

"[Is this an official announcement while sitting in a taxi? How interesting, Wen Zhining]" He Yuheng typed slowly, mocking the man.

Then Wen Zhining sent him a private message: "He Gou, transfer the money for dinner tonight to me."

【?】

You ate at such an expensive Japanese restaurant, aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that they don't have much money but will definitely pay for us? Don't take advantage of them.

"I bullied him?" He Yuheng laughed in anger and immediately made a phone call.

It took a long time to connect on the other end.

Before He Yuheng could speak, he heard the wet sounds of a kiss coming from the other side, as if they were kissing passionately and reluctantly.

After sending him the message, she and her male colleague were arguing about paying the bill, and they couldn't help but kiss.

Thinking about what was happening on the other end of the phone, He Yuheng's mouth opened slightly, and he stood there motionless as if nailed to the spot.

He quietly clenched his fist and hung up the phone, unable to bear it any longer.

Feeling that it was about time, Wen Zhining walked over and sat on a bench by the roadside, feeling embarrassed to interrupt the couple who were kissing.

"I left my phone behind, sorry, please continue." Wen Zhining picked up her phone from the side of the chair and quickly left.

A message from my male colleague came through my phone: "Are you home yet?"

"We've arrived," Wen Zhining replied casually.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuheng didn't send him any messages. After thinking about it, she decided to let it go for a while.

The next day, Wen Zhining received the money transferred from He Yuheng.

She accepted it and passed it on to her male colleague.

Apart from that, He Yuheng didn't say another word to her.

That evening, He Yuheng sent her another message, but she was taking a shower and didn't see it. When she came out to get her phone, she found that the message had already been deleted.

She simply didn't reply.

He Yuheng was very irritable, but he didn't know why.

Wen Zhining hasn't sent him any messages for a day; apart from that transfer record, everything is quiet.

Scrolling up reveals their daily chat history, where they talk very frequently.

They never stopped every day, and even when she asked them to use video chat software to keep the spark going, they continued.

Is it going to end?

Thinking this, He Yuheng went out and walked on the street to clear his mind, but he couldn't shake off his anger.

Maybe it's because he's been working too hard lately, and his dad has been assigning him too much work, saying that this is to toughen him up.

He's honed his skills long enough...

His gaze fell upon a couple kissing on the roadside. He Yuheng had just tried to change his mindset, but now it was all coming back.

"Having a boyfriend makes you forget about your brothers." He Yuheng, with a cigarette between his fingers, dressed in black, blended into the night as he continued walking.

He didn't even know where he was going. After walking for a while, he heard a sound coming from an alley not far away.

"Shouldn't you send money to your dad by now?"

Luan Keke's voice rang out as she shouted at the man in front of her, "Dad, I really don't have any money! Please stop gambling, okay? I haven't been able to find a job lately."

"Who would believe you? You work several jobs all day long. Hurry up and give me the money, or these men around me are not to be trifled with."

Several people from the casino stood next to Luan Keke's father, sizing her up and down, and suggested:

"If all else fails, you can give us your daughter as collateral; she looks so young."

Luan Keke's face turned pale, and she kept shaking her head before running out of the alley.

Just as the men were about to give chase, they saw He Yuheng walk over, take off his watch, and put it in his pocket.

Touching his other wrist, he found nothing there. He paused for a moment, then quickly dealt with the men.

Luan Keke looked at him from behind with admiration and affection.

The police arrived at this time and took the troublemakers, along with Luan Keke's father, back to the police station.

"Brother He." Luan Keke approached him, looked up at him, and said, "Thank you for saving me."

"I'm not saving you." In the dim light of the alley, a lamp flickered on and off. He Yuheng was momentarily dazed when he said:

"I am saving the former Wen Zhining."

"Ningning?" Upon hearing Wen Zhining's name, Luan Keke's expression changed. "Why are you mentioning her again?"

"She was once like you, trapped by her family; her parents were also gamblers."

Seeing Luan Keke now, He Yuheng thought of Wen Zhining, who was forced by her parents to give her money. She must have felt just as helpless, but he wasn't there for her back then.
