After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

"Won't you stay for a meal before you leave?" Jane asked, trying to persuade her to stay.

She really didn't want to eat alone with the brother and sister.

"No, it's still early. If I eat before going back, it will be very late." Xu Cheng shook his head.

Since it was a rare weekend off, he naturally wanted to spend time with Manman.

"Okay..." Jane looked at him helplessly.

"Be careful on the road." Yu Yunting nodded gently. "It's still early, let's go back to the hotel to drop off our luggage first."

He was definitely referring to the bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"Okay, I just booked a car, it should be here soon."

"Xiao Ying, do you want to go back together?" Yu Yunting turned to the woman behind him.

"I'll go back with you." Zeng Ying smiled and walked forward. "I also need to process some of the photos and videos from earlier, so I'll just go back to the hotel."

The hotel they booked was only two or three kilometers away from Fengcheng University, and they arrived quickly. Xu Cheng picked up his stored backpack at the front desk and said goodbye to the three of them, while the rest of the group took the elevator back to their room.

As Jane followed the brother and sister into the elevator, she felt inexplicably annoyed.

She didn't want to be with the two of them, but she also didn't want them to be alone together.

After thinking it over, she decided that staying here and having a mutual antagonism with Zeng Ying was better than letting Zeng Ying antagonize her again.

"Brother, do you have any plans for later?" Zeng Ying called out to Yu Yunting as they walked to the door.

She really didn't take me seriously.

Jane watched her retreating figure silently.

"I need to have a meeting with the factory. There's been a problem with the testing of a newly produced batch of engines." After saying this, Yu Yunting turned his gaze to Jian Ailing behind him. "Open the door."

"Oh..." Jian Ailing then realized that the room key was in the small bag she was carrying with her. Holding flowers in one hand, she awkwardly unzipped the bag with the other, reaching into it to rummage around, looking clumsy.

"Can you stop being so clumsy?" Yu Yunting couldn't stand it anymore and reached into her bag to help her look for it. "Tell me where it is, I'll get it."

"In that hidden compartment inside... not here, what you touched was my hand..."

Watching the two of them searching for their room key together, their bodies unconsciously pressed close together, Zeng Ying frowned, not wanting to watch any longer.

She silently swiped her room card and returned to her room.

Although Jian Ailing's small bag wasn't large, it was filled with all sorts of odds and ends. Yu Yunting fumbled around inside for a while before finally finding the room key.

Back in his room, Yu Yunting immediately turned on his laptop and put on his headphones. Judging from his words, it seemed everyone in the meeting was waiting for him.

Fortunately, the room was large. Jane placed the flowers on the sofa and quietly pushed her suitcase into the inner room so as not to disturb him by staying in the foyer.

The sofa in the lobby was a bit small and didn't seem big enough for anyone to sleep on, but Jian Ailing figured Yu Yunting wouldn't let her sleep on the sofa tonight.

She specially took out the novel she hadn't finished reading when she took care of him last time, and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the headboard to read it.

Although it was the same novel, her feelings about it were very different the last time she read it and the last time she read it.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, Jane heard a knock on the door.

She looked out the window; it was already completely dark.

Jane Ailing got out of bed. As she walked to the door, she glanced at Yu Yunting, who was still sitting in front of the computer, intently looking at the screen.

Jane opened the door and saw Zeng Ying standing outside.

"I think it's getting late. Would you and your brother like to have dinner?" In the presence of Yu Yunting, Zeng Ying was usually quite polite and courteous to her.

Jane Ailing just felt that she was finding it increasingly difficult to control her temper.

"He seems to still be in a meeting. Let me ask him." With that, she turned and went into the room.

"You two eat first. I still have some things to take care of here, so you don't need to wait for me." Yu Yunting seemed to have overheard their conversation and spoke first as Jian Ailing re-entered the room.

"Do you need to deal with this for a long time? If it's not too long, we can wait for you." Upon hearing this, Zeng Ying followed her into the room.

Jian Ailing agreed with this statement; she would rather eat alone with Zeng Ying than eat with the two siblings.

She believed that Zeng Ying must have the same thought.

"I'm not that fast." Yu Yunting didn't even glance at her. "You don't need to wait for me."

"Or we can just order food here and have the hotel staff bring it up," Jian Ailing added.

"Then let's settle it like this." Zeng Ying nodded in agreement. "I'll stay here and eat with you guys, is that alright? It's kind of boring being alone in the room by myself."

"Then go to Xiaoying's room and keep her company." Yu Yunting turned to look at Jian Ailing. "I have some urgent matters to attend to here."

His voice carried an unquestionable quality, as if he didn't want so many people to remain in the room.

Although she had never worked with him, Jian Ailing was aware of this work habit of his. In the past, when he returned home and worked in his study, he wouldn't allow Jian Ailing and Aunt Lü to enter the study, and even knocking on the door would displease him.

Jane Ailing turned her gaze to Zeng Ying somewhat awkwardly.

Zeng Ying looked at her, her eyes filled with helplessness and resentment.

She naturally didn't want Jian Ailing to come to her room and be alone with her, but she had just told Yu Yunting that she didn't want to be alone. If she rashly refused his suggestion, wouldn't that be slapping herself in the face?

Moreover, when Jian Ailing was locked in the construction site that time, although her brother didn't say anything in the end, he did mention that he hoped he could get along well with Jian Ailing, and she readily agreed at the time.

"Come on... sister-in-law, let's not bother my brother here."

Her expressions changed very quickly; one second she looked unwilling, and the next she could be all smiles.

Moreover, her words made it seem as if she were so understanding and as if she herself was so immature.

Looking at her expression, Jane couldn't help but admire her inwardly.

"Okay, let's go."

Jane followed Zeng Ying into room 1704 across the street.

"Take a look and see what you want to eat." Zeng Ying took the menu off the table and tossed it in front of Jian Ailing.

His tone unconsciously carried a hint of impatience.

Zeng Ying is no longer pretending in front of her.

She glanced at the pajamas casually draped over the back of a chair in the room; it was a black lace slip dress.

"I came to Fengcheng on a business trip with you all. Don't you find me particularly annoying?" Jian Ailing raised an eyebrow.
