Ye Guang's situation has improved a lot. Although he still doesn't draw much, under Longwen's guidance, he has surprisingly learned to do his own laundry and even cook.
He greets me now and sometimes even says hello to Xiao Minxing.
It's just that although Longwen's relationship with Mina has eased somewhat, it’s not quite what I initially saw. Sometimes when I invite them both out, there don't seem to be any major issues on the surface, but I still feel something is off.
Su Qian still comes to check on Ye Guang from time to time. He speaks very little, mostly just sitting with him or reading in the room where Ye Guang spends time alone.
He rarely takes the initiative to greet me. Even when I know he’s there and go over to talk to him, he doesn’t seem very enthusiastic.
However, because of his visits, Xiao Minxing has been coming over to see me more frequently.
In the past, I would wait for him at his company after work, but now it has completely reversed. Every time I haven’t even finished work yet, he’s already downstairs, and he even comes over during working hours.
He grandly claims it's to check on my work.
Just like now, he came over around three in the afternoon and even made a special trip to see Ye Guang.
Although he didn’t say anything, from his relieved expression, I could tell what was going on. I smiled and asked him, “What’s up? Are you now infatuated with Ye Guang too?”
He shot me a look and leaned in deliberately, saying, “I’m infatuated with you.”
Hearing this made me want to tease him more. I glanced over at Ye Guang and said, “Then why did you come here to see him? Didn’t you notice me getting jealous?”
This time Xiao Minxing rolled his eyes at me and said strangely, “What’s up with Su Qian lately? Why does he keep coming here?”
Well, even though so much time has passed and Su Qian hardly talks to me now, I can’t tell if he still has feelings for me. But in Xiao Minxing's eyes, he remains a dangerous seed.
I had long wanted to discuss this issue with him. So I straightforwardly said, “He’s just here to see Ye Guang. Didn’t you say he studied psychology? Maybe spending time with Ye Guang could help with his treatment?”
“Really? I don’t see any benefit in that. And what’s that psychology of his called? Besides attracting women, it’s useless for actual patients.”
I rarely see Xiao Minxing being this harsh. Even when someone does something wrong, he usually just stays quiet or acts decisively without causing a scene—he's the type who prefers action over words.
Only Su Qian seems to make him go through all this trouble of talking to me again and again.
He muttered to himself, "I’m just asking for trouble, inviting wolves into my home, and I’ve brought in two at once. I regret letting you come to work here; I should just have Bai Xiaoqing come back. You should go back to the headquarters."
Hearing this, I felt a bit flustered and hurried over to tug at his sleeve, saying, "President Xiao, you can’t play like this. Don’t we need time to get familiar with New Job? You keep moving me around on a whim; have you considered our feelings?"
He shot me a glance and said, "If you want me to consider your feelings, that’s not impossible, but you’d better stay away from him."
Of course, I nodded in agreement, but I was actually thinking about how I could stay away from him. I hardly spoke to those two people as it was, and I had plenty of my own work to do. I already felt guilty for not caring enough about Ye Guang, yet he still told me to keep my distance.
Although Xiao Xiao Minxing came by frequently, he didn’t stay long each time. He would chat with me for a few moments before heading back.
Zhi Xing had too much work; he also had many social engagements and wished he could stretch one day into two.
Sometimes I wondered if I should really go work with him. At least that way he wouldn’t have to divide his attention to take care of me, and being close would allow me to take better care of him.
But I knew my own capabilities well. If I went over there, I wouldn’t be able to handle the tasks he assigned and would only add more trouble for him. It was better to stay as things were.
After Xiao Xiao Minxing left, I got back to my own tasks and finalized the projects from the headquarters that I was handling before calling someone to come pick them up.
Time always flew by when working. By the time Long Wen came to pick up Ye Guang, it had already grown dark outside.
He came over to greet me, and only then did I look out the window. I quickly stood up and said, "Sorry, sorry! I've been swamped today and lost track of time. Ye Guang must be hungry; you should take him home for dinner."
Long Wen smiled and said, "Sure! Do you want to join us? Mina is coming over today."
I was a bit surprised and asked him, "Mina is coming over? But today isn’t the weekend; why is she coming?"
Long Wen just smiled without answering.
Alright then, since you’re all reserved people, I won’t ask further. However, it had been a long time since I last saw Mina; I missed her a lot. I always wanted to use such opportunities to help open up the barriers between us, so I tidied up my desk and went out with the two of them.
Once outside, I realized Mina was still on her way and hadn’t actually arrived yet.
However, Long Wen had already made reservations at a restaurant, so we just needed to head there and wait.
Yet upon entering the restaurant and before I even saw Mina, I spotted Zhuo Feng first.
I hadn’t seen him in ages; plus, with my busy schedule lately, he hadn’t crossed my mind at all. Occasionally, I'd hear a thing or two about him from Xiao Xiao Minxing.
He knew that he had already married that woman, and it seemed like they were doing quite well together. The company was still the same, neither good nor bad.
However, without Mina's support, it would still be difficult for him to expand into new businesses.
Mina was someone who could work hard in her job, and when she worked with Zhuo Feng, she indeed brought a lot of benefits to the company.
At first, I thought that Zhuo Feng gave her those shares because he loved her. But later I realized that an employee like her could excel anywhere, and perhaps that money was not love but gratitude.
Of course, there are also bosses who don't even have that much gratitude. Zhuo Feng should be considered one of the more decent bosses, but it had nothing to do with love anymore.
When he saw me, he stood up first, smiled, and shook my hand, saying, "Anan, long time no see."
I smiled back at him and replied, "Yeah, long time no see. Boss Zhuo looks like he's gained some weight."
He continued, "Well, now I have regular meals three times a day. Sometimes I even have late-night snacks. I've been taken care of; the only thing left is this body that can develop freely."
This kind of happy bragging made me feel very frustrated, especially in front of Long Wen, so I didn't respond to him and didn't even want to look at him.
Zhuo Feng seemed to realize he had misspoken and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I just... What do you all want to eat? Today it's on me."
To be honest, if I had known that Zhuo Feng would be here today, I wouldn't have come at all, and I also didn't want Mina to come.
