"Yi Yi, there shouldn't be any issues on your end, but why are we experiencing problems here?"
Bai Juan leaned against Liu Ru Yan's chair, her expression troubled as she spoke. After hearing about their situation, she initially thought everything was fine, only to realize how wrong she was. One problem after another kept surfacing, and they couldn't fathom that it was simply because Li Meng was absent that their department faced such chaos. It was all so unpredictable.
"It's fine, it's fine. The more issues we encounter, the more we’ll get used to it!" Liu Ru Yan said while working, trying to comfort Bai Juan.
Bai Juan found the comfort oddly reassuring; indeed, these problems were unsolvable for now, and everyone else in the department seemed to think they were easy targets. They had monopolized the major responsibilities for too long, and other departments had grown resentful. With Li Meng absent, it was no surprise that they felt emboldened to bully them and obstruct their workflow.
Jiang Nan certainly wouldn’t allow this situation to persist, but he hadn’t said a word about it. The morale of the entire department was low; even Zhu and others felt that the other departments were being excessively domineering. They had all been working together for a common goal, which was why they had verified these matters with Lan Ruo Yi earlier in the morning. However, this didn’t mean their relationships were strained.
Work was work; emotions were emotions. It was best not to let feelings interfere with their tasks.
After work, Liu Ru Yan pulled Lan Ruo Yi and left first. The others exchanged glances as they watched the two depart before following suit. Although they took different paths out of the office, their destination was the same.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Liu Ru Yan urged Lan Ruo Yi as they rushed out without any particular reason other than a sudden thought that she had asked Mo Wan to call Liu Yuchuan out.
What if Liu Yuchuan saw her absence at home? That would surely cause an explosion! If he blew up, it would mean she’d have a tough time later on.
"Why the rush?" Lan Ruo Yi didn’t ask what Liu Ru Yan was up to; she simply followed her hurried pace.
Liu Ru Yan felt increasingly frantic—oh no! How could she have forgotten about the time? They hadn’t just missed a good show at work; they had completely lost track of it!
"What’s going on?" Lan Ruo Yi couldn't stand being dragged along any longer and quickly pulled her hand away from Liu Ru Yan's arm.
"Why don’t we just head back directly?" Seeing that Liu Ru Yan didn’t respond, Lan Ruo Yi began to voice her thoughts again. The weather was simply too cold, and being dragged back like this was really uncomfortable.
Liu Ru Yan paused at her words, glancing at Lan Ruo Yi's outfit and then at her own.
"Okay, I admit it looks bad," she thought. Lan Ruo Yi hadn’t even bothered to put on any makeup. Her outfit was a blatant display of casualness—just a basic top and wide-leg pants that looked unflattering.
Liu Ru Yan, on the other hand, was dressed relatively well; she had spent the morning resting and was wearing a fitted top, jeans, knee-high boots, and a long down jacket.
Lan Ruo Yi had on a basic top with a vest, wide-leg pants, sneakers, and a short fleece jacket. Coupled with her messy hair and delicate features, Liu Ru Yan could only conclude one thing: her pretty face really saved her!
"Don’t forget who’s watching me at home," Liu Ru Yan said to Lan Ruo Yi, who didn’t hesitate after hearing this. She immediately dragged her to a corner. "Let’s go."
Liu Yuchuan was about to explode. He stared at Mo Wan; neither of them had spoken for half an hour. He couldn’t take it anymore. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Mo Wan looked at the message from Tu Nan on her phone and felt relieved. "Tian Luo has a problem."
He said it abruptly, and Liu Yuchuan understood but couldn’t believe they had sat there for so long just for that? Was he out of his mind?
"So what now?" Liu Yuchuan crossed his arms and fixed his gaze on Mo Wan, clearly indicating that she wouldn’t be allowed to leave without saying something.
"This is related to what happened before," Mo Wan said, noticing the change in Liu Yuchuan's expression. She knew this issue had always been a sore spot for them—last time they inexplicably lost two people, and when they found them again, their personalities had changed.
Not long after that, both of them fell into a coma and lost their memories for a period of time. For Mo Wan, that time was nothing short of hellish.
"Where did you find that out?" Liu Yuchuan wondered, feeling a mix of frustration and curiosity. It had taken so long to uncover the truth, and now it seemed to appear just at the right moment.
"Have you forgotten about Li Meng?" he continued, his tone sharp. "Li Meng was involved in this too. Why didn’t he tell me? Instead, he chose to share it with Mo Wan?"
Was it his fault? Did Li Meng somehow look better than him?
Liu Yuchuan didn’t want to dwell on this matter, but the furrow in his brow betrayed his unease.
"Before Li Meng left, he came to see me," Mo Wan said, pouring tea for both of them from the kettle.
But Liu Yuchuan's mind was elsewhere: He came to see you? Why didn’t he come to see me?
As these thoughts raced through his mind, he voiced his question. Mo Wan sighed in resignation. "I handled his parents' matters."
"Oh, so I guess I’m still the one dealing with her issues," Liu Yuchuan replied bluntly.
"Are you trying to compete with me over who has invested more in her?" Mo Wan asked, puzzled by Liu Yuchuan's sudden defensiveness.
