Shen Tinglan smiled. “Alright, you don’t have to be too courteous. Even if I don’t settle it for you, someone will. Just because the big bosses promised not to get involved in our matters doesn’t mean that they can really settle it.”

“Why would those people give up Orange Night so easily?”

Ming Qianye held the document tightly and couldn’t help but ask.

“The people you’re referring to are those good-for-nothings from the Mu family?”

Shen Tinglan asked.

Ming Qianye’s eyes darkened and she didn’t answer.

Shen Tinglan harrumphed coldly. There was a hint of sharpness and disdain in his cold tone. It was as if suppressed emotions were surging out. His sleeping emotions were suddenly awoken, revealing their original ruthlessness.

“I know that you have a deep relationship with those people. I don’t want to know what kind of story you have with them. I won’t make things difficult for you. I can understand that you want to take revenge, but don’t forget who you are. If anything isn’t handled well, I’ll settle it for you. Can you agree to this?”

Ming Qianye was slightly stunned as well!

She naturally knew his usual tactics. If he wanted to intervene, she probably would never find out the things wanted to know. The matter would have ended long ago, and there would be no answers to the many puzzles that she did not have the time to solve.

Ming Qianye couldn’t do anything to such a tyrant. Sometimes, her style of doing things was influenced by him.

He hated trouble, especially the trouble of gossip. Because of this, he had let Tang Feng deal with countless media outlets who provoked him. In the eyes of those media outlets, he was simply a god of death. He could easily erase their efforts, so they did not dare to provoke this devil.

However, what was surprising was that Shen Tinglan’s Weibo account was very popular. A few years ago, he had opened a Weibo account, but he had never updated a single message. However, his fans’ attention was off the charts. All kinds of support groups were automatically established. No one knew what was going on.

Perhaps it was just because of his face!

Ming Qianye had heard the news from Huo Jiarong.

…

The two of them finished their dinner just like that. It was still stormy outside, but the soundproofing in the room was very good, blocking out the noise from outside.

Ming Qianye didn’t waste any time. She continued to get busy after taking a shower.

Her study was occupied by the Devil, so she could only continue working at the bar counter on the balcony.

In the blink of an eye, the hours passed…

When Ming Qianye came back to her senses, it was almost midnight.

She stretched lazily and glanced at the study room, which was still lit up. She hesitated for a moment before preparing a bowl of lotus seed soup.

She had started stewing it after dinner, so it was ready just in time.

When she walked in with the tray, Shen Tinglan was indeed busy at his desk.

“Have some lotus seed soup.”

Ming Qianye moved the bowl over, and a fragrance filled the cold air with a faint medicinal smell.

She also added some nourishing herbs to the lotus seed soup.

Shen Tinglan turned his head and his deep gaze landed on her face. After a moment, he took it and ate slowly.

Ming Qianye, on the other hand, leaned against the table and glanced at the laptop screen in front of him, quietly waiting for him to finish eating.

This had been due to Tang Feng’s reminder.

He was probably tired of eating those medicinal herbs. If he didn’t serve them well, he would easily anger the Devil. Therefore, Ming Qianye could only do the same as they did at Canglan and serve these things during supper appropriately.

Shen Tinglan finished his meal unhurriedly. Ming Qianye poured him another glass of water and made him drink it.

“It’s G University’s graduation party next month. Are you coming?”

Ming Qianye, who had been waiting at the side, looked at him quietly for a moment and suddenly asked.

He wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, his deep voice emotionless. “I’m not sure. Do you want me to go?”

When he said the last sentence, his deep eyes also looked at her. When he met her cool eyes, his eyes darkened again. He quickly lowered his eyes, as if he did not care much about her answer.

“The principal specially called me and asked me to ask you. The invitation is for you.”

As she spoke, she handed over an exquisite and heavy invitation.

Shen Tinglan glanced at her from the corner of his eye and reached out to take it. He opened it and took a look. The invitation was written on it, along with the time and place.

“I originally wanted to give it to you when I went back to attend Grandpa Shen’s birthday in a few days. Since I’m here now, I’ll give it to you so that I don’t forget. I’ve already told Tang Feng. When the time comes, he’ll remind you. By the way, the gift I promised you previously is custom-made. It’ll take some time.”

Ming Qianye still had her usual strict attitude.

Shen Tinglan’s expression was cold. He pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ming Qianye could only take a deep breath. “I’m afraid it’s been this weather for these two days. Take the opportunity to rest for two days. Rest early. Good night.”

After saying that, Ming Qianye cleaned up the dishes and left the room.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shen Tinglan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the tightly shut door. After a while, he turned his head and looked out of the French window…

It was pitch-black outside, and the wind and cold rain were wreaking havoc. They kept hitting the glass window outside, but the interior was surprisingly warm.

…

Ming Qianye went to wash up and then went to bed to rest. She had been very tired these past few days, so she fell asleep the moment her body hit the bed.

After a dreamless night, her biological clock woke her up punctually the next day.

It was still raining outside. It was already six o’clock in the morning, but it was still dark and gray outside.

Ming Qianye quickly got out of bed and washed up. The porridge in the pot had been pre-ordered last night and was already cooked. She steamed some shrimp dumplings, milk-flavored steamed buns, fried a few sunny-side ups, and some bacon.

Shen Tinglan was still asleep when breakfast was ready.

He seemed to have rested quite late yesterday. When she woke up in the middle of the night to drink water, she saw that the light in his room was still on.

Ming Qianye thought for a moment and decided to knock on the door gently. There was no response, so she carefully opened the door and walked in…

After taking a few light steps inside, she saw the Devil sleeping soundly on the bed with the blanket in his arms…

Ming Qianye didn’t dare to disturb him, so she exited the room, ate her breakfast, left a note on the table, and left the house in a hurry with her bag!

She had to go to the laboratory in the morning. In addition to classes, they also had their own research to study, so Ming Qianye didn’t have time to relax. She was teaching quantum mechanics for the third-year students during the third and fourth periods in the morning. In the afternoon, Ming Qianye planned to go to the library to read up.

Her day’s schedule was packed.
