Sun Jiangyuan wiped his wet hair with a towel beside him. He glanced at Yue Min, not knowing what to say.

It was all used from the beginning, why was he so greedy now?

This thought flashed through his mind, causing his hand that was wiping his hair to pause for a moment. He looked at the woman lying on the bed again and nodded without saying anything.

"Hmm, have you found the whereabouts of Du Liqing?" Yue Min placed the pillow under her and leaned back on the bed. She lowered her head with both her hands behind her head and lazily looked at Sun Jiangyuan as she asked in an indifferent tone.

Sun Jiangyuan placed the towel in his hand on the bedside table. He initially wanted to sit on the edge of the bed, but stopped as well. When he felt Yue Min's heated gaze, he couldn't say a word.

Recently, Sun Jiangyuan had already sent people to find traces of Du Liqing. However, because the company's matter had caused him to lose a bit of concentration, his underlings did not give him any useful information.

"Nope." After a long silence, Sun Jiangyuan finally revealed the truth. She didn't have the slightest intention of comforting Yue Min with her sweet words. Her mind was constantly replaying the scene between her and Lin Ziqing.

Yue Min immediately shifted her gaze back to Sun Jiangyuan. She secretly frowned as she saw the misty look in Sun Jiangyuan's eyes. She felt a little displeased in her heart.

"Do you know that you can only live a peaceful life if you get rid of any future troubles? Now, you can't even find a woman, what are you doing! "

He leaned his elbows on the bed and slowly sat up straight with his legs crossed. Looking at Sun Jiangyuan, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Lin Ziyan's words resounded in his mind, and he felt like he had failed to meet Sun Jiangyuan's expectations.

For Yue Min, if she couldn't find Du Liqing, she wouldn't be able to rest at ease for a day. Only by getting rid of them would the scandal between her and Sun Jiangyuan not be exposed. Otherwise, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't be worried in the days to come.

"At least I live frankly!" Sun Jiangyuan was dissatisfied with Yue Min's attitude. Originally, he didn't want to argue with her, but due to his complicated emotions, he turned back to face her.

The meaning behind those words were that Yue Min would not be able to stand up for herself if she were to hang out with other men.

"You are such a waste!" Yue Min got down from the bed and stood in front of Sun Jiangyuan, who didn't feel sad nor happy. She roared at him angrily and punched him in the chest to vent her anger.

Looking at Sun Jiangyuan's slightly frowning expression, she picked up the bag beside her with a complicated feeling in her heart and left the place in a huff.

As he watched Yue Min's departing back, he patted the place where he had touched her before. A trace of disdain could be seen in the depths of his eyes. Clenching his hands into fists, he angrily lowered himself onto the soft bed. The feeling of being hit by a piece of cotton made it impossible for him to ease his anger.

He sat on the bed, frowning. As he thought about the meaning of Yue Min's words, he felt that even if he didn't force Du Liqing onto a dead end, he still had to know where the other party was, in order to avoid an unexpected reversal.

"Hurry up and investigate the traces of Du Liqing!" Sun Jiangyuan picked up his cell phone and called his assistant, forcing her to open her mouth and give him an order.

"Yes sir!" When the assistant received the call from Sun Jiangyuan, she panicked. When she heard his urgent words, she immediately agreed.

He put down his existing work and quickly ordered people to go abroad to search, and gave them an ample amount of money to avoid trouble after the fact.

Inside the room, Sun Jiangyuan's hair had dried up. He was in no mood to lie on the bed. As he walked towards Chao Yang, he noticed the wine on the shelves. He casually picked up a bottle.

The red wine was poured into the goblet, and the rich aroma of the wine assaulted his nostrils. He shook the cup a little and took a sip, his gaze drifting towards the distant horizon.

In a trance, Sun Jiangyuan's thoughts rippled in the sweet and precious moment of his marriage with Du Liqing. His lips curled up into a contented smile.

A gust of wind blew Sun Jiangyuan's thoughts back to reality. Looking at the night scene with no lights, he shook his head helplessly. He wiped the smile off his face and said self-deprecatingly, "Looks like my alcohol tolerance is getting worse. I'm starting to let my imagination run wild."

Ignoring the emotions in his heart, he drank the rest of the red wine in his goblet in one gulp. After returning to his room, he casually placed the wine cup on the table beside him. He went back to his soft bed and thought nothing, but he couldn't sleep all night.

"In view of your serious work, the company has had a banquet recently, so you are invited to attend. This is the invitation for the banquet, remember to come when the time comes. "

The general manager put the invitation in his hand on Du Xiangqing's desk and casually gave her an excuse to not be overly worried.

As for whether or not the others had the luck to participate, that would depend on their strength or luck.

"Thank you, General Manager." Du Ruqing looked at the invitation card on the table, his heart was filled with gratitude. Looking at the general manager's face, he did not feel any negative emotions anymore. Deep down, he also felt that this month or two of hard work had not been in vain.

With a slight smile on his face, the general manager didn't say anything. He just habitually patted her shoulder, indicating that he wanted her to continue working hard.

He had seen a lot these days. He did not deny Du Liqing's efforts and perseverance, but at the same time, he was also a bit impressed with him. Therefore, when Lu Juyan placed the invitation in his hand, he was still a bit happy for Du Liqing.

Du Liqing took the invitation to the banquet and carefully read it for a bit or two, then happily sat on the chair. He felt that the work in his hands could not be considered as hard work anymore.

When she returned home from work, she took the invitation back with her to share the joy in her heart with the aunt who took care of her from time to time.

"Eh? The invitation seems to say that you need a male companion to accompany you, don't forget. " Whether intentionally or not, he wanted to bring Du Liangqing and Lu Juyan together, and at the same time, he hoped that both of them could obtain happiness.

His words made Du Ruqing's hand that was holding the shovel tremble slightly. The food in the shovel also slipped into the pot. Her thoughts flashed past Lu Juyan's figure, but she purposefully shook her head and chose to ignore him.

"Alright, I understand. Come and eat!" Du Liqing quickly prepared the dishes. In the house and on the dining table, he selectively ignored this question. His face was filled with a slight smile to hide the slight unhappiness within his heart.

At the dining table, the two of them chatted idly, but neither of them deliberately provoked their male companion's words.

A few days later, the time for the banquet arrived. Du Liqing didn't know many people abroad so naturally he couldn't find a partner. He could only choose to attend alone.

Before the banquet began, Du Ruqing walked in wearing gorgeous clothes. She casually stood at a corner and watched the two of them walk up and down together. She felt a kind of inexplicable sadness in her heart.

"Lan, you're here too?" Du Yun lowered his gaze and did not notice the number of people at the banquet. Suddenly, Lin Qi's voice sounded from the side, causing her to unconsciously look over.
