Chu Qing Yan suddenly felt that she was bored to death, that's why she would think of such unreliable things. She wasn't a sensitive young girl who was in the Spring Festival who would find anyone to be interested in him.

"Yeah, he's on a business trip again. He'll be back next month."

She subconsciously took out her phone. There was no text message and no missed call. It was quiet and lonely.

"Well, I know he works so hard to make me feel better, and I don't blame him."

Actually, Chu Qing Yan did not feel bad because she was travelling, but felt that there was not much difference between getting married and not getting married. There was still no one by her side who doted on and doted on her.

Halfway through eating, Du Mu Feng picked up a phone and left in a hurry, leaving Chu Qing Yan and Li Jing Yu facing off against each other.

The awkwardness of being alone with Li Jing Yu made Chu Qing Yan feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. She wanted to leave on her own, but Li Jing Yu insisted on sending her home.

They walked side by side into the underground parking garage.

Suddenly, all the lights in the garage went off. Before Chu Qing Yan's eyes could adapt to the darkness, an ear-piercing whistle sounded from behind him.

She was shocked, and immediately dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, she ran into Li Jing Yu's embrace.

His hands quickly grabbed Chu Qing Yan's shoulders and pulled her back, avoiding the cars that were driving past behind him.

The light went out for a few seconds, then returned to normal.

Li Jing Yu released his hand the moment the light went on, and took a step back.

"Sorry, stress reaction."

His eyes quickly swept across Chu Qing Yan's flushed face, and then looked up. "I think it's because of the hot weather, so I used the electric energy to jump the lock."

"Yes." Chu Qing Yan lowered her head, her face still burning with anger.

The heat from Li Jing Yu's embrace and the scent of his cologne stimulated her nerves, causing his left eyelid to twitch as well.

Chu Qing Yan rubbed her eyelids and followed behind Li Jing Yu, maintaining a safe distance of three metres, afraid that if she walked too close, he would be able to smell the fragrance off Li Jing Yu's body, adding fuel to the flames of unrest in her heart.

After driving out of the garage, Li Jing Yu parked his car by the side of the road to buy water.

Her family lived in the east of the city, and she worked in the east as well. She rarely came to the west of the city.

If not for the fact that she was having lunch with Li Jing Yu today, she would not have been here, nor would she have seen something that she should not have seen.

On the sidewalk, Kang Wen Yuan who was supposed to be away on a business trip had a suitcase in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other.

The street lights shone on their faces. The two of them talked and laughed, brimming with joy.

Chu Qing Yan was stunned, so it turned out that Kang Wen Yuan was not on a business trip, and was confident that she would not go to his company to check, which was why he was so confident.

Her heart suddenly sank. There was no pain, no hate, only an exceptionally tranquil indifference.

Chu Qing Yan did not open the door to get off the car, nor did she roll down the window as she watched them walk past.

To be fair, Kang Wen Yuan had treated her pretty well these few years, so she wouldn't embarrass him.

He acted as if he didn't see anything and was exceptionally calm.

It was unknown whether it was because Chu Qing Yan had concealed her emotions too well, or because Kang Wen Yuan's act of cheating had not brought her too much pain, but when facing Li Jing Yu, he could still smile all over.

Li Jing Yu was a very humorous person. Along the way, he chatted and laughed, and unknowingly, they reached Chu Qing Yan's house. Thinking of how he was alone back home, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Before they got off the car, Chu Qing Yan carefully asked: "Li Tong, can you wait for a while?"

"What's the matter?" He raised his eyebrows, his eyes dancing with laughter.

"It's not important. Just wait five minutes, okay?"

He didn't ask any more questions and nodded.

Chu Qing Yan thanked her and ran to a nearby cake shop in a hurry to buy a small cake.

Carrying the cake and getting into the car, Chu Qing Yan raised her head and looked right into Li Jing Yu's eyes. Without waiting for him to speak, she explained: "Li Tong is treating me to dinner, I'll treat you to some cake."

Chu Qing Yan silently thought that with Li Jing Yu to accompany her to have a birthday cake, it would not be so miserable.
