Ever since she found out about Fang Tong, Lin Qingrou would subconsciously think about where he had gone to.

From the time she had spent with him and his experiences, Fang Tong did not seem like the sort of person who would leave without even saying goodbye. What's more, he left in such a hurry that even the handover of work was not done in time. That was why Lin Qingrou was curious. Why was he in such a hurry to leave? Was it really like Ye Qingming had said? Was it a matter of work, or was there a problem with his family?

However, before Fang Tong resigned, Lin Manrou had been with him for so long that it could be said that she was the person closest to him during that period of time. Even she had not noticed anything unusual, and for what reason would he be in such a hurry to resign?

Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou's absent-minded expression. In the end, he couldn't help but to ask worriedly, "Where did you go? "Could it be that a man like him would disappear for no reason at all?"

Lin Qingrou looked at him, then bent down to pick up the scattered petals. She threw away the wilted flowers and put in the flowers she had just bought.

She didn't even look at Ye Qingming as she said expressionlessly, "I'm just worried. After all, we worked together as friends and colleagues."

"So, the last time you were on a business trip, you were also with him?" Ye Qingming suddenly asked. Then he took a sunflower and stuck it in a vase.

Lin Qingrou didn't say anything. Although she knew he meant Fang Tong, Little Tong, and her trip together, she wasn't in the mood to argue with Ye Qingming. She could only reply with a cold "Okay."

Ye Qingming looked at her. She was completely focused on the flower in her hand. It was a bunch of golden sunflowers, standing in a vase like a sunflower. Although it was beautiful, Ye Qingming only felt that it was dazzling.

His voice suddenly became low as he asked again, "Did you just buy these flowers?"

Lin Qingrou placed the scissors on the table casually, then said tiredly, "I bought it, what's the matter?"

Ye Qingming sneered. After saying a few "good" words, he looked at Lin Qingrou in confusion.

Lin Man looked at him with a gentle gaze, and just as she was about to ask the question in her mind, she gave a soft sigh and walked around him with the scissors in her hand.

Ye Qingming quickly came back to his senses. He grabbed her wrist and asked, "If you're that worried about him, I can help you find him."

Lin Qingrou frowned. She couldn't believe that Ye Qingming was the one who said this. His tone was so humble.

She looked at his face and blurted out, "Ye Qingming, can I ask you something?"

Ye Qingming slowly released his hand. He had never seen Lin Qingrou look so timid and pleading.

"Ask away."

"Does the sudden departure of Fang Tong have anything to do with you?"

When Lin Qingrou said this, even she was stunned. Ye Qingming stared at her in shock. Seeing that, Lin Qingrou quickly put down the things in her hands and explained to Ye Qingming, "Sorry, I was just confused. I shouldn't have asked you. I was thinking too much. "

Ye Qingming let out a sigh of relief as he gently put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I know you guys are on good terms with each other, but we are going to get married soon. I hope you understand these things. "

Ye Qingming's words landed on Lin Qingrou's heart one word at a time, causing her to freeze in shock.

That's right, he was right. After all, his marriage to Ye Qingming was an unchangeable fact. He still remembered that when he went out with Fang Tong, it was to make Ye Qingming worry so much. He had never thought that the problem would eventually fall on Fang Tong.

Lin Qingrou asked herself. She only admired, appreciated, and appreciated Fang Tong, nothing more. She looked at Ye Qingming. In her heart, she felt a sense of tolerance and restraint from him.

She took a deep breath and said to him solemnly, "I know what you're saying. Therefore, I won't mention him in front of you anymore. What happened just now … "I'm sorry."

Ye Qingming never expected her to apologize, so he looked at her in surprise. Then, he slowly smiled and said, "It's alright. After all, we are all friends. If possible, I will help to check it out." But don't worry about it, for fear of hurting your mind. If you have the time, I think you better think about getting married. "

Lin Qingrou stared at him, as though she was slowly falling in love with him. She had never seen such a warm smile on Ye Qingming's face before. It was as if the first ray of sunlight on a snowy mountain had a power that could melt ice.

Ye Qingming saw that she was getting better, so he tidied up the junk beside the vase and said, "Today's weather is pretty good, how about I bring you to a place?"

Lin Qingrou was curious, "Where are we going?"

Ye Qingming smiled, "I'll take you there later, you'll know."

After saying that, the two of them returned to their own rooms. After taking their bags and coats, the two of them stood in the middle of the living room.

Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming. Suddenly, she laughed out loud for no reason at all.

Ye Qingming didn't know what was going on, so he thought it was his clothes that weren't suitable. He looked around nervously, then helplessly spread his hands and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qingrou covered her mouth, she shook her head and smiled, "No, I was just thinking, we are living opposite your study room now, it's a little like a university dormitory. It seems like when I was back in school, I would go out to play with the female students from the dorms across the room and go out for lessons. "

Ye Qingming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Okay, looks like you're treating me as your good sister!"

Lin Qingrou shook her head. Smiling, she dodged Ye Qingming and ran towards the main entrance, only to be pulled into his arms once more.

"Let go of me." She suddenly approached his embrace, somewhat embarrassed, and urged him to release his arms.

However, Ye Qingming didn't notice it at all. He tightly held Lin Manmei in front of him, with his cheek against her hair as he said gently, "If only I could be like this again, how wonderful it would be!" Remember to smile often in the future. Because the way you laugh... "It's very beautiful."

Ye Qingming's voice was deep and gentle, causing Lin Qingrou's face to instantly turn hot. Her heart started beating rapidly and she could not help but shrink back. But this way, Ye Qingming held her even more tightly.

After a while, Lin Qingrou turned to Ye Qingming and said softly, "Shouldn't we leave now? It's already eleven o'clock. "

Seeing this, Ye Qingming looked at his watch and laughed: "That's true. Alright then, let's go!"

After saying that, Ye Qingming held Lin Qingrou's hand and they walked out of the house, into the elevator and into the car.

Lin Manshou fastened her seat belt and asked Ye Qingming, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Qingming smiled. He seemed to be unable to hide his smile today. "It's nothing," he said. "It's just that I find it a bit hard to come by. From the moment we first met until now, we have never been as harmonious as we are now. "

Lin Qingrou asked knowingly, "Is that so? But I think it was better before."

Ye Qingming knew that she was joking, so he just let her say whatever she wanted to say. He sat at the side driving the car without saying a word and just quietly listened.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know once we get there. You'll definitely like that place."

"How can you be so sure? Do you really know what I like and what I don't like? "

"Is it hard? Of course I know. "

"Without any proof, how would I know if what you said is true or not?"

"If you don't believe me, you'll know when you get there."

Lin Manrou turned her face to the side and looked at him. With such a gentle and refined face, perhaps anyone would be moved. But would his heart really be as clean and docile as his face?

Ye Qingming drove around half the city and finally arrived at the place he mentioned.

Lin Qingrou followed him out of the car. The two of them walked through the crowd until they came to a pet store.

Lin Qingrou asked curiously, "Is this the place?"

Ye Qingming nodded and pushed open the door. However, the shopkeeper didn't seem to be there at the moment. There was only a large golden-fur lying on the ground watching the house.

Ye Qingming looked around and said, "Let's sit here and wait. He'll be back soon."

Lin Qingrou nodded. She sat by the door and looked in. It was a small pet shop, and the shelves were filled with cat food and dog food, as well as pets' daily necessities. There were several empty pet cages beside the wall. Inside those cages were some dog food and a few molars. It seemed that he had already taken away the pet inside.

Ye Qingming seemed to be very familiar with the owner of this place. This was because he could tell that the big golden hair didn't pay him any heed when he entered.

"What's its name?"

Ye Qingming sat beside her, looking at the lazy dog lying on the ground and said, "It's called 'too much', it's already over ten years old this year. Because he was old, he didn't want to bark like a young dog. When you see me, all you do is raise your eyes and you don't even want to make a sound. "

"Is it because he doesn't like you that he can't be bothered with you?"

Ye Qingming curled his lips, "That's possible." However, the shop owner also had another golden-furred one, named Bebe. Bei Bei was the daughter of a good lady. She was five years old this year. She would follow her master to buy groceries and walk her dog. Very obedient, very obedient, and also kind to people. The reason I brought you here today is to find Bebe. "I think, if you like little animals, Bei Bei, you must like them too."

Lin Qingrou was grateful for Ye Qingming's care. She bit her lips and said, "Thank you."

Ye Qingming looked at her, not surprised, but his eyes were already full of warmth.

As expected, not long later, Lin Qingrou heard a dog barking from afar. Just as she reacted, a tall and burly man pushed open the door and entered. He was holding several bags of vegetables in his left hand and several bags of fruit in his right. He was sweating profusely.

The man suddenly saw Ye Qingming and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here!?" My god, how long has it been since you've been here!? "

Ye Qingming smiled. He stood up and said to Lin Qingrou, "This is my university classmate, Lei Hengjun. He is also the owner of this pet store."

Lei Hengjun immediately put down the things in his hands. He went to wash his hands, then asked Ye Qingming in surprise, "This is?"

Ye Qingming had both his hands in his pockets as he proudly said to Lei Hengjun, "My wife, Lin Qingrou."

Lei Hengjun was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed out loud and said to Lin Qingrou, "Impressive! "Sister-in-law is really amazing."

Ye Qingming smiled, "Alright, you. Oh right, where's Bei Bei? went to work for you again? "

Lei Hengjun touched his neck and said, "Cough, it's not that it's cold outside, I'm too lazy to move out and walk my dog." So I left it to do the work. "

As the three of them spoke, they saw a big golden hair slowly walking in from outside with a few ropes in his mouth. Behind it followed two little dogs, a gray Teddy and a white Bome.

Lei Hengjun stepped forward. After taking out the lead rope Bei Bei had given him, he brought the two puppies into a room inside.

He explained, "These are the dogs of friends of mine. If you have nothing to do, leave it to me and my friends to play around with." "But I don't like dogs. If there's nothing to do, I just like barking. Big dogs are still the best!"

Just as he finished speaking, Bei Bei suddenly rushed in front of Ye Qingming, wagging his tail excitedly.

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but ask, "Bei Bei seems to like you a lot?"

Lei Hengjun said with a smile, "Don't mention it. I was the one who gave birth to the young mistress when she gave birth. After that, I gave the other puppies to others and sold the ones I gave to others, leaving behind only Bei Bei. This is why Ye Qingming comes here every few days, Bei Bei naturally knows him. "

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but reach out a hand and gently caress Bei Bei's forehead. Its head was round and its hair was stiff and dry. However, when Bei Bei looked at Lin Qingrou with his twinkling eyes, she felt as though her heart was melting.

Ye Qingming watched as Lin Man and Bei Bei gradually became more familiar with each other, and then he started to enjoy themselves. Only then did he relax. He turned to Lei Hengjun and asked, "How have you been recently? Never thought about going back to work in the hospital? "

Lei Hengjun disdainfully said, "Eh, I don't get along with going to work. I've never thought about going back to work in my life."

Ye Qingming sat at the side as he shook his head helplessly.

When Lei Hengjun saw that Lin Man and Bei Bei were having fun, he leaned over and asked Ye Qingming curiously, "What's going on with you?" "Really?"

Ye Qingming did not understand, "Why do you ask?"

Lei Hengjun rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "When you were in school, weren't you from the class next door …"

"Stop!" Ye Qingming quickly said.

Ye Qingming knew that he was talking about Xing Ruonan, so he snappily said, "How long has it been since the incident between her and me happened? Why are you still bringing it up?"

Lei Hengjun smiled awkwardly, "Alright, alright, let's not mention it. Come to think of it, why did you think of me today? "

As Ye Qingming spoke, he looked at Lin Qingrou. "She's been in a bad mood recently. That's why I came to find Bei Bei to play with her and have a look at the results of your hard work."

Hearing that, Lei Hengjun disdainfully said, "Forget about it. If you want to curry favor with your wife, don't pull me over. I don't want to be the scapegoat! "

Ye Qingming smiled and did not argue with him. As the two chatted, Ye Qingming noticed that the phone in Lin Qingrou's bag was vibrating. He took it out and took a look. Seeing that it was Liu Yuxi's name, he passed the phone to her.

Lin Qingrou caught it and hurriedly picked it up. She only heard Liu Yuxi say rather unhappily on the other end of the phone, "Where are you?"

Lin Qingrou looked at the road outside the pet shop and said, "People's Road West Street, what's wrong?"

Liu Yuxi sighed and then said bluntly, "Qin Yang is gone."

"What!?" Lin Qingrou asked in surprise.

She then turned around and saw that Ye Qingming and Lei Hengjun were attracted by her voice. She hurriedly said to the phone, "Don't worry, I'll be right there."

With that, Lin Qingrou said to Ye Qingming, "There's something I need to see Yu Xi about."

Ye Qingming nodded and asked, "How is it?" Is it serious? "

Lin Qingrou shook her head, "No, it's just that she's not in a good mood and wants to chat with me."

With that, the two bid farewell to Lei Hengjun and then left. Ye Qingming then drove Lin Manshui to Liu Yuxi's company.

Before Lin Qingrou could get out of the car, she saw Liu Yuxi standing by the side of the road, waiting for her.

Ye Qingming asked, "Should I wait for you?"

Lin Qingrou shook her head, she said casually, "Go home first, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go home for a while."

Ye Qingming saw her unnatural expression and was about to ask something, but just as she was about to speak, she had already opened the car door and left.

When Lin Qingrou saw Liu Yuxi, she turned to look at Ye Qingming and smiled at him. Seeing this, Liu Yuxi hurriedly said to Ye Qingming through the car door, "I'm not in a good mood today, so I'll have to borrow her from you for a long time. I will personally send her home tonight! "

Ye Qingming looked at them and nodded with a smile. Then, he turned to Lin Qingrou and said, "It's cold today. Remember to put on your outer robes."

Lin Qingrou looked at Liu Yuxi and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Got it …" You drive carefully! "

After saying that, Lin Qingrou watched him drive away before heading to a nearby coffee shop with Liu Yuxi.

Lin Qingrou pressed her temple and asked with annoyance, "What's going on with Qin Yang?"

Liu Yuxi suppressed his anger and said to Lin Manshui, "Don't mention it, this morning, Xu Ziteng called me and told me that Qin Yang hasn't been to work for many days. When colleagues from his company went to find him, they found out that he had already retired from his rented house a month ago. Isn't it strange that you said that? "

"Did you call the police?" she asked.

Liu Yuxi shook his head, "He's doing the accounts for the company. Naturally, he has a handle on the company's affairs. I'm guessing that the reason he suddenly disappeared is because he's holding back and asking the company for money. However, the company was not so stupid. What he had access to were some simple accounts. It was just a small matter and did not involve the core. "Moreover, their company has always had black and white customers, so it's not that bad to look for him."

Lin Qingrou was curious, "He shouldn't have left the company for no reason. Furthermore, with his personality, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to use such a despicable method."

Liu Yuxi was fiddling with a cup in her hands. Her eyes flashed as she asked, "Could this matter be related to the Ye Clan?"

When Lin Qingrou heard about the Ye Clan, the first thing she thought of was Ye Qingming, so she felt even more tired.

Liu Yuxi asked her doubtfully, "I saw that you and Ye Qingming have a much better relationship?"

Lin Qingrou unconsciously placed her hands on the table. She crossed her arms and said, "Yes, it's much better now."

Liu Yuxi smiled and said, "I told you at the beginning that you would fall in love with him one day."

Lin Qingrou could not help but shiver. Her thoughts were in disarray, as if she couldn't even think of a few things. Her hands were trembling and her body was cold.

Liu Yuxi said to her, "Drink some coffee first. It's a little cold today, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Qingrou nodded, but her heart was no longer there. She picked up the cup absentmindedly. But just as her coffee was about to reach her mouth, someone walked past her and slammed her cup into her body.

"Ah …" Lin Qingrou stood up subconsciously and looked at the cup of coffee that had spilled all over her clothes.

That person was probably a new waiter. At this moment, he was frantically wiping Lin Qingrou's clothes with a tissue.

Lin Qingrou said, "It's alright, I just couldn't hold it properly." Then, she took the tissue from her and stood up to wipe away the tissue, upset.

Liu Yuxi asked worriedly, "It's not hot, right?"

Lin Manshou shook her head, then said to Liu Yuxi, "It looks like I need to go to the bathroom to wash first. Otherwise, it'll be hard to wash it if I keep the coffee stains."

The two of them walked into the bathroom one after the other. Lin Qingrou took off her jacket and put it under the tap, carefully washing it.

Liu Yuxi looked at her and could not help but ask, "You really fell in love with him."

Lin Qingrou took in a deep breath. She rubbed the corner of her robe, as if she was going to pour all of her Qi onto her clothes.

Liu Yuxi advised, "Don't be like this. To be honest, Ye Qingming did not do anything wrong. It's not strange that you fell for him." On the contrary, I think it would be strange if you weren't in love with him! After all, he's such an outstanding person. "

Lin Manrou stared at herself in the mirror. She shook her head, unwilling to admit that she had fallen in love with him. She suddenly looked like a kite with its string cut. She stood unsteadily by the pool, holding onto a corner of her clothes tightly.

Suddenly, there was a clear "clang" and a shiny object fell onto the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Yuxi and the other man looked down at what appeared to be something that had fallen out of Lin Qingrou's shirt pocket.

Lin Qingrou squatted down and picked up the item on the ground.

"Ears? Why is there only one? " Liu Yuxi couldn't help but ask.

Lin Qingrou looked at it for a moment, before saying doubtfully, "This earring isn't mine, and there's only one. It can't even fit into a pair."

Liu Yuxi took it and looked at it carefully. There was a gem and a small pearl inlaid in it. Such a lady was definitely not Lin Qingrou's style.

Liu Yuxi thought for a while, then said to Lin Manshui, "Have your clothes been touched by anyone recently?"

Lin Qingrou shook her head, she suddenly lowered her voice, "You're saying that someone intentionally placed it inside my clothes?" Staring at this thing, she suddenly had a bad premonition. Thus, she immediately took out her phone and ran out to the bathroom to call Shen Lei.

After Shen Lei heard the whole story, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
