At the door of the coffee shop, Zhan Ziye turned around in a natural and unrestrained manner and parked in the empty parking space next to Lu Juyan's. He put out the fire, pulled out the key, unlocked his seat belt and opened the door. Ye Zichen got off the car and casually threw the sunglasses into the car, then slammed the car door shut.
He leisurely walked towards the coffee shop's entrance, pushing open the door just in time to hear the crisp sound of a wind chime. This slightly improved his originally anxious mood. After patrolling the area, he noticed Lu Juyan sitting in the corner. He noticed that the other party's expression didn't seem to be too good, but he still walked towards him quite casually.
"Why do you look so cold? Who dares to provoke you? "Tell this bro that I'll help you beat him up!" Zhan Ziye didn't know that Lu Juyan had found out about his conversation with Du Liqing that morning, so he felt that Lu Juyan inviting him out definitely had something to do with everything else. He didn't want others to notice his expression of being humiliated, so he put on his signature smile and couldn't help but start teasing him.
Lu Juyan's face was dark and his emotions complicated. As he faced Zhan Ziye's brilliant smile, Du Liqing's brilliant smile just happened to flash through his mind. While he was in a trance, he felt that something important was about to be snatched away from him. The uncomfortable feeling made him feel that the person in front of him deserved a beating.
"Why isn't it suitable? It can't be that his wife ran away with him, right?" Zhan Ziye lazily sat on a chair, snapped his fingers, and asked a waiter for a cup of milk tea. Putting down the list in his hands, he continued to tease Lu Juyan when he saw his expression darken. He felt a faint sense of panic.
This just so happened to be the bottom line for Lu Juyan, causing his violent emotions to continuously surge forth. The hand under the table, which had been clenched into a fist, was now filled with veins. The eye-piercing feeling made him stand up without any hesitation, and he swung his fist forward.
A sudden punch landed on Zhan Ziye's right cheek. It wasn't because he dodged fast, but rather because he had turned into a panda eye long ago. The stinging pain on his face baffled him. He frowned and looked at Lu Juyan, asking unhappily, "What are you doing!"
His emotions were extremely complicated. He had been doted upon since he was young, so naturally, he had never suffered such humiliation before. His temper was also erupting silently with this punch, and a sense of unwillingness spread from the bottom of his heart. He didn't feel the slightest bit of fear when faced with Lu Juyan's deep eyes.
"Du Liqing, she's my woman!" Lu Juyan originally wanted to punch a few more times to dispel the jealousy in his heart, but the two of them were brothers, so he suppressed the anger in his heart due to this relationship. He looked coldly at Zhan Ziye, as if he was a god that understood everything. Warnings could be seen from his eyes.
He did not say much, and just as he finished speaking, he left the place, rushing back and forth like a gust of wind.
But this was very unfair to Zhan Ziye. Lu Juyan clearly hadn't caught Du Liqing in the end, so why couldn't he have had a fair opportunity to win Du Liqing's favor?
Zhan Ziye was extremely displeased. He touched the spot on his right cheek where he was hit and frowned. Looking at the milk tea that the waiter brought, he couldn't even take a sip. Ye Zichen took out some money from his pocket and left this place in a relaxed manner. He didn't even care about the change he got from the change.
Inside the office, Du Ruqing waited until the afternoon. According to the secretary's words, she was sure that the person would come while she was getting off work. He consciously stood in front of the French window, trying to figure out who it was.
"Sun Jiangyuan?" When Du Liqing noticed that his secretary was describing the exact figure of his back, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After a few seconds, he noticed that the other party had lifted his head. When he saw his face, his heart skipped a beat. The phone in his hand dropped to the floor due to his surprise and broke the screen.
She lowered her head and silently picked up the phone with the broken screen. She felt a faint sense of irritation. Glancing downwards, he saw Sun Jiangyuan's figure and his emotions became even more complicated. Ye Zichen took out his phone card and chucked the phone into the trash can. When the sky gradually darkened, they noticed that Sun Jiangyuan had already left. After packing up, they left the place.
By the side of the road, Du Ruqing happened to see a phone shop to avoid losing contact, so she subconsciously walked inside. He randomly picked a phone that caught his eye, bought it, and then plugged in the phone card that he had just taken off.
"Thank you for coming!" Just as Du Ruqing was about to walk out with her phone, she happened to hear the shop assistant's words. She indifferently nodded her head and continued to walk towards her home.
She stopped a taxi at the side of the street and gave the address of the house. Opening the car window a little, he felt bored and lowered his head to look at his phone. Only then did he notice that Yuan Wei and Qu Yan Shi had called several times.
"Hey, research. I'm fine now. I've been making you worry." Du Liqing pressed Qu Yan's number and waited for him to answer. A strange feeling surged in her heart. After her company's warning, she did not know how to face Qu Yan. Only when Qu Yan Shi was about to hang up the phone did she pour out the words to report her safety.
Qu Yan Shi did not know what to say to Du Ruqing, but she put down the worry in her heart. With a faint "hmm", he didn't feel like there was any topic between the two of them anymore. He didn't know if it was due to holding a grudge or something, but he felt like there was something weird going on.
"I'll go and report to Yuan Wei that he's safe." The two stayed silent for a while. Du Liqing couldn't think of any other topics to talk about. Ye Zichen pursed his lips, while sweat dripped down his hand that was holding the phone. In the end, she still indifferently said these words, ending the awkward conversation between the two of them.
The two hung up the phone at the same time. Suddenly, they felt much better. They both secretly took a deep breath. Originally, Qu Yanyan wanted to call Yuan Wei, but she was robbed by Du Liqing, so she had to drive home alone to rest.
Du Liqing, who was sitting in a taxi, looked at Yuan Wei's cell phone number. He waited for a while with a complicated feeling in his heart. Before he could make a call, the driver parked the car outside the taxi. She subconsciously pressed down on the screen, handed the change to the driver, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Du Ruqing walked step by step back into the rented room. As she walked, she didn't like to play with her phone. He used his key to open the door and noticed that Lu Juyan's room was lit up. She changed her shoes at the entrance and glanced around. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be coming out, she curled her lips in embarrassment and returned to her own room.
