Yuan Wei's heart skipped a beat as he lowered his gaze. He happened to notice the look of guilt on Qu Yan Shi's face and felt that he had let her down. A hint of worry appeared between his brows. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can we not break up?" Qu Yan Shi did not receive Yuan Wei's reply, and her heart was filled with panic. The originally bashful mood suddenly disappeared. There was a faint sense of eagerness in his heart. Ignoring his reserved attitude, she raised her head and looked at Yuan Wei's indifferent expression. She nervously grabbed onto his sleeve. Her flustered mood made her suddenly feel a sense of regret.

He shouldn't have been so impulsive!

She frowned as she waited for Yuan Wei's reply. She felt a sense of torment. In her heart, she secretly considered her personality and decided to change it a little.

"Yes." Before Qu Yan Shi could finish her repentance, Yuan Wei grabbed her hand and spoke softly. The love she had for her still existed, but she didn't know what expression to give.

The sudden words caused Qu Yan Shan to be stunned. Without any hesitation, she met Yuan Wei's gaze and saw the warm smile on his face. Her heart was filled with joy. The tips of his ears were slightly red, and his heart was once again beating happily. Feeling the warmth on his palm, his lips curled up into a brilliant smile. He held his hand back, lusting for the warmth on his hand.

Du Ruqing, who was standing at the side, was very happy for the two of them. She was not one of the ten thousand watt bulbs and was preparing to leave quietly.

"Ji Lan, wait a moment." From the corner of her eyes, Qu Yan Yan had noticed Du Liqing sneaking away. She subconsciously turned her gaze away from Yuan Wei and called out to her. He felt guilty towards her from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't help but want to pay more attention to her and give her some compensation. However, he couldn't bear to let go of Yuan Wei's hand. He only wanted to quietly hold it.

Du Liqing, who had just lifted his foot, paused. His body slightly stiffened, and the next second, he slowed down. He leisurely turned around to face the two of them. A smile that he thought was pretty appeared on his face, alleviating the sudden awkwardness.

"Where did you go before?" Qu Yan Yan thought for a while in her mind before she slowly spoke out what she was thinking. Seeing the embarrassed smile on Du Liqing's face, she felt a blockage in her heart. He felt even more guilty towards the previous matter and tightened his grip on Yuan Wei's hand.

Qu Yan Shi did not lower herself to apologize to Du Liqing. She did not know how to open her mouth like this, so she could only choose to understand more and use her actions to help her.

Feeling the panic in Qu Yan Shi's heart, Yuan Wei didn't interrupt and neither did he express any emotions. He only made sure to remember every single detail about it. At this moment, he had the urge to pull Qu Yan Yan into his embrace, but he didn't want to let Du Ruqing feel too awkward so he gave up on this idea. He obediently stood to the side and waited for the two of them to finish their conversation.

Sensing the look on Qu Yan's face, some bitterness started to surface in Du Ruqing's heart. She suddenly realized that she was the one who was most concerned about Qin Wushuang. He led the two of them to a sofa and sat down. The next second, he saw another person bring him three cups of ice water. He only smiled and nodded to that person to express his happiness.

"Well, sit down. We'll talk slowly. I was working abroad at the time... " Turning around to face Qu Yan and Yan Qianyin, he selectively told them what had happened outside the country. He did not mention the matter of him meeting Gu Li at all.

Du Liqing did not exaggerate anything as he slowly described the hardships she had suffered. Perhaps this was very hard for Du Liqing to bear in the past, but now for someone like her who had nothing at all, there wasn't even the slightest bit of pain. Instead, she should be thankful that there was a company that was willing to let her stay.

Suddenly, the dry feeling in his throat made Du Ruqing subconsciously pick up a glass of water from the table and lightly sip it. Her gaze drifted to the window, the water flowing in her throat, causing the bitterness in her heart to lessen somewhat. She faintly felt that if these words were made clear, then there would be no such burden.

"Why don't we stay here and help you set up the company?"

When Du Ruqing finished her story, the two of them felt heartache for her. Unconsciously looking at each other, Yuan Wei pressed his fingers together with Qu Yan's finger as if he was trying to pass on some form of rest. The two of them had a very tacit understanding that caused them to look at Du Liqing at the same time, and so they very consciously said those words.

The two of them didn't hesitate at all. It was as if this kind of help could make their hearts calm down. He held his hands tightly on the sofa, and a smile appeared on his face. It was unknown who was greedily thinking of the other party's warmth or the past happiness, but the two of them now wanted to stick to each other even more than they had in the past.

"Actually …" Du Liqing was extremely grateful to the two of them for their gazes. The tip of her nose felt sour, causing her eyes to become moist. She took a deep breath and swallowed a mouthful of water before slowly expressing her thoughts.

"Don't be like this, let us help you this time." Otherwise, we would all be worried!

Qu Yan Shi did not say the second half of the sentence because she knew it would make Du Liqing even more unwilling to accept it. With his free hand, he grabbed Du Liqing's hand, trying to stop the other's resistance from thinking and making excuses.

The unable to evade, Du Ruqing could only nod her head. The gratitude she felt towards the two of them was already not a little, but she didn't know what words to express the feelings in her heart, so she could only choose to remain silent.

Because of the company's matters, Du Liqing's secretary came down and whispered a few words into her ear. She had to end this meeting and said lightly: "I have some matters to take care of at the company. Sorry, we can continue talking next time."

"Alright." Both of them looked at Dudian and indifferently agreed. They stood up from the sofa and watched him leave.

"Go back." After everyone he knew had left, Yuan Wei subconsciously grabbed Qu Yan Shi's hand and left the place, ready to fulfill his promise. Feeling Qu Yan's ice-cold fingertip being slowly warmed by his hand, his heart was very satisfied. The corner of her lips curled up into a faint smile. The separation in her heart seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

Her heart rippled and her cheeks were slightly hot. She didn't know what to say at this moment, but she was very happy to be dragged away by Yuan Wei. Perhaps this was the appearance of a child walking, but it was much more comfortable than the days when the two of them had quarreled from time to time during the past three months. Although the two of them did not say anything unnecessary, their beating hearts unconsciously drew closer to each other.
