Lu Juyan walked back into Du Ruyan's green room and unconsciously eased up a lot when he saw her peaceful sleeping appearance.

Qu Yan Yao, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Lu Juyan. She did not say anything, but increasingly felt that his existence was a little strange.

During this quiet time, the two of them focused their eyes on Du Liqing's body, but their thoughts weren't as calm as on their faces.

"Yes, research?" Du's azure eyelashes slightly trembled as the consciousness in his mind gradually recovered. His sleepy eyes hazily opened and looked at Qu Yan Shi who was in the room as he mumbled in confusion.

The voice sounded like it had just awoken. He rubbed his eyes, revealing his adorable appearance. Using his elbow to support the bed, he forced himself to sit up.

"Better?"

Qu Yan Shi was pulled back from her thoughts by Du Ruqing's words. Her lips curled up into a faint smile as she held her arm, allowing her to sit still. He stroked her messy hair and put it behind her ears.

"Much better!" Du Liqing did not feel as complicated as before, nor did he feel depressed. Ye Zichen nodded heavily, then replied back to the study of the song.

Between her brows, she revealed a gentle and comfortable feeling. She did not make any movements to hide herself.

This caused Qu Yan and Lu Juyan to feel somewhat gratified, and their anxious hearts relaxed a bit because of this.

"Ah, it's time to go to work!"

When Du Liqing's thoughts cleared up quite a bit, he discovered the existence of Lu Juyan behind him. He subconsciously looked at the time on the wall and realized that this was not the time to rest. Suddenly remembering her job, she could not help but shout out.

A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. After leaving early for a few days, she felt guilty towards the restaurant.

"Lan, don't go." Just as Du Qing was about to pull back his blanket and get out of bed, Qu Yanzhi grabbed her hand and stopped her actions.

"The weather is not good, don't go." Lu Juyan, who had been silent all this while, cast a glance out of the window and used these very shoddy words to dissuade Du Liqing.

He didn't want to know that Dudian was being provoked in the dining room. He also felt that her mental state wasn't good enough for her to walk around.

"No!" I really should go to work! " Du Ruqing dodged the hand that was being grabbed and moved her legs under the bed, deliberately wanting to leave this place.

At this moment, Du Ruqing only wanted to start working peacefully, to start anew and forget about the unhappy things from before.

Qu Yan Yan and Lu Juyan looked at each other and felt quite helpless, but they had no way of stopping Du Ruqing's actions.

He watched her wash and change her clothes. His movements were extremely quick without the slightest delay, as if he would be punished if he was late. Even though she already knew that the owner of the restaurant was Lu Juyan, she didn't act sloppily.

"I'll be leaving first. Bye bye." After everything was ready, Du Liqing looked at the two of them with a brilliant smile on his face. He waved to the two of them, turned around, and left the place.

The two of them pretended to be indifferent as they faced Du Liqing, naturally cooperating with her until her figure disappeared. Only after that did they retract their gazes. The atmosphere was extremely quiet. No one said anything.

"What is your motive for having people approach you as lawyers?" All of a sudden, Qu Yanzhi seemed to have thought of something and turned around to face Lu Juyan, seriously questioning him.

A trace of wariness was revealed between her brows. The mysteriousness of what had just happened had caused her to be unable to hold back from doubting Lu Juyan's motives. She didn't want to see Du Liqing hurt again, so she had to find out for herself.

"No attempt." Just trying to help her.

Surprise flashed through Lu Juyan's eyes as he set his gaze on Qu Yan. He suddenly had the urge to laugh. He calmly replied to her words, leaving the latter part of her sentence unbroken. However, his indifferent expression told her that he had already given her his answer.

The two of them were both smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning behind the other party's words.

Qu Yan carefully assessed Lu Juyan's expression and made sure that he wouldn't do any harm to Du Liqing before secretly feeling relieved.

"I was also entrusted by Uncle Dean with a will document." Qu Yanxing took out the item that her father Du had given her from her bag and placed it on her knees, then leisurely told Lu Juyan why she suspected him.

A few days ago, when Qu Yan saw Du Ruqing running out to meet someone, she began to suspect something. After asking several times, he secretly sent people to investigate the lawyer that was trying to get close to Du Liqing.

Until the day before yesterday, that lawyer had walked into a private hospital, and the person under that private hospital's name just happened to have Lu Juyan's name.

This caused Qu Yanzhi to begin to suspect that this matter was related to Lu Juyan. That night's interaction with Du Qiuqing, as well as Lu Juyan's concern for him, made her suspect Lu Juyan even more.

If Lu Juyan liked Du Liqing, that possibility wasn't impossible. However, Qu Yan felt that it did not exist, so she couldn't help but suspect that Lu Juyan had some ulterior motive in getting close to Du Liqing.

"Oh? So you have it too. " Lu Juyan didn't have any particular reaction, but his gaze suddenly shifted elsewhere without the slightest awkwardness.

"Check?" Qu Yanzhi still didn't believe that Lu Juyan was a person without purpose. The wariness in her heart made her unwilling to believe Lu Juyan, just like how Du Liqing didn't want to believe him.

Lu Juyan was too mysterious for them to understand, so they didn't want to believe it. No matter how good the things he made were, they would not be able to match his previous actions.

"Alright." Lu Juyan didn't say much and took out the document from the bedside table. He handed it over to Qu Yan Shi, but did not intend to examine it any further.

Lu Juyan had long since seen through this document and didn't want to verify it with others. He hadn't expected that the other party would still have doubts about him. He merely glanced at it in embarrassment before shifting his attention elsewhere.

I wonder if she's all right?

His heart was filled with thoughts of how Du Liangqing had lost control of herself yesterday. His brows slightly furrowed as his thoughts gradually became hazy. He wanted to help her, but he didn't know what sort of identity he should have so that no one would be able to resist him.

Opening up the document, Qu Yan Yan discovered that the contents of the document in her hand was much less than that of Lu Juyan's.

Qu Yanzhi had never mentioned Lu Juyan's existence to her father in the past, but now she was giving him such an important item. This made her feel extremely suspicious.

He shot a glance at Lu Juyan from the corner of his eyes and realized that Lu Juyan was absent-mindedly sending a text message secretly informing Du Liqing of the suspicions in his heart.
