They were getting closer and closer to Li Heng's birthday.

Today, while Li Ze's Dining Hall was in the middle of working, the phone suddenly rang. He took it over to take a look and saw that it was Li Heng.

Sure enough, what was coming would come. He sighed in his heart before answering the call.

"Hello."

"It's me." Li Heng sounded like he was in a good mood. Soon after, he asked in a light tone, "I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

"Nope." The Li Ze Feast was still cold and distant.

However, this did not affect him in the slightest. On the contrary, he was somewhat relieved as he said: "That's good. I want to talk to you about something. I don't know if you have time or not."

As soon as he said that, Li Ze Heng guessed his purpose of calling, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he pretended that he didn't know anything and asked, "What is it?"

"You also know that it's my birthday in a few days. I think that since I'm already old, I want all of you to come back and celebrate with me. It's so lively here." Li Heng looked like an elder who only wanted to enjoy the pleasures of his children, and didn't have the slightest desire for power.

Listening to this, Li Ze's Banquet sneered from the bottom of his heart. It was quite lively. Inviting so many people wasn't just for show.

However, his voice was no different from usual. "So it's like that. As a son, I'll definitely go back. You can rest assured."

Seeing him agree, Li Heng felt a lot more at ease. As if afraid that he would go back on his word, he continued to warn him, "Then you must come. Don't promise me. When the time comes, no one will come to help."

"Of course." He agreed very straightforwardly.

On the other side, Zhai Ya was very happy that Gu Qinghuan had gone to work at the hospital, so she wanted to give her a surprise.

That day, Zhai Ya went straight to the hospital where she worked without revealing anything to Gu Qinghuan. When she went in, she found that there was no sign of an insider coming out.

"He probably hasn't left yet." Zhai Ya guessed, but was still a little worried.

In order to ensure that the surprise went on normally, she walked to the front desk, found a nurse and asked, "Hello, I want to ask when you get off work. I'm here to pick up my friend, but I haven't seen her."

The nurse shook her head and said, "You haven't gotten off work yet." He then looked at the special watch pinned to his chest and said, "There's about fifteen minutes left. You can sit there and wait for your friend."

The nurse pointed at the long row of chairs nearby with great care.

Zhai Ya was completely relieved after hearing Ye Zichen's answer. "Okay, thank you."

After which, he found an inconspicuous spot and sat down, staring intently at the exit.

Very quickly, Gu Qinghuan's figure appeared within her line of sight. Without even thinking, she directly ran towards Gu Qinghuan.

He gave her a big hug with all his might. "Qinghuan!"

The sudden collision forced her back a few steps. After stabilizing herself with great difficulty, she finally saw who it was and asked in pleasant surprise, "Why are you here?" If it wasn't for the fact that she was still in the hospital, she would probably have screamed out.

"To see you?" "How is it, is it a surprise?" Zhai Ya was very pleased with her reaction and asked proudly.

"Of course." Considering the need for the hospital to be quiet and afraid that they would lose control of themselves, he said in a low voice, "Let's go out first."

"Alright." Zhai Ya was very straightforward.

The two of them held hands. Other than the hospital, Gu Qinghuan was finally unable to hold herself back. "Why didn't you tell me why you came? Did you do it on purpose?" How long has it been since we last met?

Zhai Ya immediately put on a disdainful expression and said, "Lady, please don't ask so many questions at once, or I won't know which to say first."

As soon as they finished talking, the two couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing in perfect harmony.

"It's over." Zhai Ya adjusted her mood and said, "Didn't I suddenly know you were working here? I wanted to surprise you. Who told you to be so heartless as to not come and see me? Then I would have to find you myself."

"Aiya, am I not busy?" He deliberately squeezed towards her, "Oh right, how have you been recently? "Is it going smoothly?"

"If it's me, isn't it always like that? If there's nothing wrong with it, isn't it just fine?" Zhai Ya also rushed towards her with a vengeful look.

After playing around for a while, Zhai Ya suddenly remembered something important.

Suddenly, he became serious, "Oh yeah, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if you know it or not."

"What is it?" Ye Zichen pulled her to a bench by the roadside and sat her down. This was a good time to get off work, as the streets were flowing with people. There weren't many people here, so it was a good place for them to chat.

"Li Heng sent invitations over to my house for his birthday a few days ago. I heard he invited a lot of people this time, so I'm guessing this isn't a big birthday. He probably has some sort of plan." When she first found out about this news, she felt that something was wrong. Originally, she wanted to tell him about it on the phone, but after thinking about it, she hadn't seen him for a long time, so she looked for this opportunity.

"You gave it to me too? He really did put in some effort. " Gu Qinghuan had a faint smile on her face, but the meaning in her eyes was a little unclear. She seemed to be thinking about what Prime Minister Chu had just said. The Chu, Qin, and Zhai Families, maybe even more.

"Yeah." Zhai Ya nodded. She didn't dare to agree with Li Heng's actions.

However, he still patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll accompany you. Anyway, I was planning to go to this birthday party anyway. However, you and Li Ze should still be extra careful. If he wants to give you two some trouble, it would be good to have some confidence. "

"Don't worry, I will." Instead, she held her good friend's hand, feeling extremely at ease and glad that she had such a friend by her side.

The two of them leaned against each other as they watched the cars go by. Their mood relaxed a lot.

Suddenly, Zhai Ya raised her head and leaned over to ask, "By the way, do you know when Qin Yu will return?"

All of a sudden, Gu Qinghuan asked this question, but she wasn't too sure about it. She shook her head and said, "About this, I haven't asked him either."

After thinking for a while, he said, "However, I think it should be soon. After all, his course abroad is almost over. He should be back by then."

"So it's like that." Zhai Ya nodded thoughtfully.

"Sigh." Gu Qinghuan abruptly moved her face close to hers and teased, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Zhai Ya immediately interrupted her before she could say anything. "Didn't I suddenly think of something?" "I thought you would know, so I asked."

Those who heard this obviously didn't believe it. They were still gossiping and laughing craftily. "Really? You're so concerned about my brother, don't tell me you like him?"
