After sending Liu Yuxi home to settle her and a nanny, although Lin Qingrou was physically and mentally exhausted, a huge boulder had finally been lifted off her shoulders.

Liu Yuxi was fine, but Lin Manshui was safe.

Ye Qingming had probably come back earlier today because of the bustling events of the previous night.

When Lin Qingrou returned home, she saw him watering the flowers with a kettle.

"It's so early." she asked.

Ye Qingming turned to look at her and could not help but smile, "Were you happy today? "It's rare to see you smile so happily."

Lin Qingrou changed out of her clothes, the cold gradually subsiding, and she finally felt a little warmer.

"Today was a happy day. I chatted with Yuxi for a while."

Ye Qingming then remembered, "I haven't seen her recently, what are you busy with?"

"She was busy studying abroad, so we didn't see each other much."

This was the result of their discussion. They told the world that they were studying abroad without saying anything else.

Ye Qingming's original intention was not here, so he did not think much about it. He looked at Lin Qingrou who was behind him and asked: "Did someone come to the house today? I saw two glasses of water. "

Lin Qingrou nodded, "My brother has been here before. He came to deliver something. We talked for a while and talked about how it's Dad's birthday next week, so we wanted to go back and see. "

"Birthday?" Ye Qingming thought about it and asked what day it was.

Lin Qingrou counted with her fingers, "Thursday."

Ye Qingming felt a bit awkward, "I have to leave the clinic on Thursday, and there might be a major surgery. I'm afraid I can't make it in time."

Lin Qingrou didn't seem to mind, "It's okay, I know you're busy, I'll go back by myself."

Speaking of which, she hadn't brought Ye Qingming along with her in her original plan. If he really wanted to go, she didn't know what to do.

However, Ye Qingming still felt a bit bad.

"Then I'll give you the money. It's also good for you to buy me a present, or else it'll never be justified."

Lin Qingrou looked at his leisurely watering of the flowers helplessly.

This man, no matter the big or small matter, never revealed a single mistake. Did he, Ye Qingming, not have any weaknesses?

"What are you looking at me for?" he asked as he put down the kettle.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about why you can think of all the details."

As he wiped the leaves with his handkerchief, he could not help but laugh. "Is it difficult?"

Lin Qingrou looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Ye Qingming, do you have a weakness?"

Ye Qingming's hands paused for a moment, and then he wiped another leaf.

"Weakness, of course I have it. It might even be more than you think."

Lin Qingrou leaned against the door, her arms wrapped around her shoulders. "But you look flawless. Of course, that doesn't apply to Xing Fei."

Now that he heard the name "Xing Fei" again, Ye Qingming had become sufficiently calm and indifferent.

However, he still said, "That's right. Xing Fei was indeed a weakness of mine at that time. The moment I heard those two words, I couldn't control my emotions. But now, that is the past tense. "

She was interested. "The past tense... "Then what is it now?"

Ye Qingming was completely focused on taking care of the flowers. His movements were gentle and meticulous, but his tone of voice was extremely cold.

"This patch of flowers and plants is really too dense. If I didn't look at them one by one, I'm afraid some of the rotted branches and leaves would have rotted in there forever. So my words are the same, no matter what weakness, what flaw, can hide a few points is a few points. No one would be stupid enough to show others their weak points and weak points. "

He threw the rotten grass to the side and glanced over at Lin Qingrou from time to time.

"Even the most intimate of people."

Lin Qingrou's expression froze, his body tensed up, not daring to relax. Because at that moment, she saw a person's shadow on Ye Qingming's body. That expression and tone were so similar that she couldn't help but be nervous — — That person was Ye Qingcheng!

Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou, "What, are you not feeling well?"

Lin Qingrou shook her head, retreating unknowingly. "No, I'm just a little tired."

Ye Qingming laughed lightly. After wiping his hands, he took Lin Qingrou into his arms and comforted her with the same gentle tone, "I was just speaking casually just now. The world is so vast, who would not have a weakness? As long as there is one, it will be seen by others. No one can be an exception, don't you think? "

The temperature of his embrace seemed to be faintly discernible. Sometimes it was very warm, but sometimes it was also like a piece of ice-cold jade that could never cover up the heat.

Lin Qingrou was dazed for a moment before smiling at Ye Qingming, "You're right, everyone has a weakness. Since there is one, it doesn't matter if it is seen by others. Right? "

Ye Qingming was very happy that she had heard his words. He smiled and said, "Yes, it seems like my explanation was not in vain."

Lin Qingrou smiled beautifully, "I will remember your words."

The two of them looked at each other with a warm and gentle smile. As Lin Qingrou leaned on Ye Qingming's shoulder, the smile on his face slowly faded away. The expression on his face became even more unfathomable, just like their relationship — unknown and fragile.

Ye Qingming, which one of you is the real you?

Lin Qingrou packed up her things and headed towards the company Ye Qingming was talking about.

It was a small company, but the atmosphere was good. She went alone to the office of the head of staff, explained why she had come, and carried her back to another office.

"Miss Lin, please wait for a few minutes. Someone will come later to tell you the details of the work."

Lin Qingrou thanked him softly. After that person left, she started to carefully observe her work environment from outside the glass wall.

Although the area of the company is not large, but everywhere is filled with a streamlined and modern sense of beauty. It was probably a decent working environment, and the colleagues here were not as tired and listless as the old colleagues she had known.

After a moment's thought, the door opened and a woman of her own age, dressed in a white business suit, entered. Behind her was a girl with long, plain hair and glasses.

Lin Qingrou saw their respective badges. The woman dressed in white was called "Zhao Ru" and the girl behind her was called "Shen You Mo".

Shen You Mo smiled at Lin Manchu. Her eyebrows were curved and there was a barely discernible mole at the corner of her eyes. She looked very attractive.

After introducing them to each other with a smile, Zhao Ru said to Lin Qingrou, "Since you both know the reason for our visit, then I will be frank. Then I'll have You Mo bring it to you. In the future, as your assistant, she will help you with your work and solve problems in a timely manner, so I hope that you will be able to get familiar with her as soon as possible, which will also be beneficial to your work. "

When she finished speaking, Shen You Mo stepped forward and smiled at Lin Man Rou. She was just about to speak when Zhao Ru said: "You Mo, go and pack up your things, you still need to use them later."

Shen You Mo understood and immediately left.

Right now, there were only two people left in the office, Zhao Ru took a deep breath, as if she had relaxed a little.

Lin Qingrou was curious, why was she like this?

Zhao Ru looked at her and said indifferently: "Although the company is busy, it is still very busy and orderly. "I may be a bit tired when I start working, but it will be a lot better after I get familiar with it."

Lin Qingrou nodded, remembering every single one of them.

Finally, with a strange expression on her face, Zhao Ru said to her: "You Mo is your assistant, so it's alright if you guys have a lot of work interactions, but she's still your assistant, I hope that you can understand the situation on the surface, after all, work and life are separated."

Lin Man Rou Wei frowned. She felt that there was something in her words, but she completely ignored the other meaning in her words.

"Manager Zhao." Lin Qingrou called out to her.

Zhao Ru turned around and looked at her normally.

Lin Qingrou hesitated. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't know where to start.

"Thank you so much for coming to work this time."

Zhao Ru smiled and replied as if she could see through him: "No need to thank me, we are all friends, there is bound to be a time when we will need your help. What's more, Mr. Ye is my father's friend. But no matter what you say, you must have the ability of a young miss, otherwise I would not take such a risk. "

She lifted her chin.

"The office is just across the street. Remember to go earlier."

Lin Qingrou looked at her, the doubt in her heart grew stronger. For some reason,

After getting off work, Lin Manshui turned around to Liu Yuxi's home. Firstly, he wanted to see her situation, and secondly, he wanted to discuss his recent plans with her.

Liu Yu Xi took away the nanny, and first heard Lin Manshui explain the details of her work, then he said with a serious expression: "Zhao Ru? She was the manager of this company, and her father was very familiar with Ye Qingming. This is a person who is either rich or not. Such a person's family background is usually quite complicated. "

Lin Qingrou asked her, "You want to find out about her background?"

Liu Yuxi thought for a while.

"Let's not investigate first. Let's see if she has any enmity towards you."

Lin Qingrou understood.

If Zhao Ru had any enmity towards her, then it would not be as simple as just being cautious. And if she just treated herself as someone of no importance, then the investigation would be a matter of saving time and effort.

"Oh, right." Lin Qingrou remembered something else.

"There's one more person."

"Who?"

Lin Qingrou took out her phone and showed it to Liu Yuxi, then said thoughtfully, "Shen You Mei."

"Who is she?"

"Assistant, my new assistant. Before we left, Zhao Ru had mentioned her before. I had a feeling that there was something in her words, but I didn't know what the meaning was. So we still have to check her. "

Liu Yuxi looked at the phone number that was left behind in Lin Manshui's phone and sighed, "I don't know if you'll take it or not, but you actually made Ye Qingming your number one."

Lin Qingrou was unmoved, "Of course, even if it's an act, it has to be done to nine parts. Otherwise, not only will the opponent not believe it, even he himself will be suspicious day and night.

After she finished speaking, Lin Manshui and Liu Yuxi looked at each other and smiled.

Liu Yuxi patted his chest, as if he had just survived a disaster, and said to Lin Manshou, "Fortunately, I didn't go to the Ye Family that year. Otherwise, it would have been terrifying to be your enemy."

Lin Qingrou didn't mind, she smiled at her legs and asked about the big matters and how meticulous they were. She was still the most worried about Liu Yuxi's safety.

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry so much. " Not only was Liu Yuxi grateful, he was also moved by their relationship.

Lin Qingrou shook her head, "This is a special period, if you take good care of it, you will leave behind the root of your illness. You don't want to be afraid to wear heels in the future, do you? "

Thinking about that, Liu Yuxi turned pale with fright. He touched his leg in excitement and asked, "Really!? No way! Is there any scientific basis for your words? "

Lin Qingrou ignored her and continued to pick up the items around her and put them into the trash can.

"It's fine if you don't believe it. This is what Ye Qingming said, but you still don't believe it?"

Liu Yuxi felt even more terrified, hurriedly protecting his legs, afraid that something might happen.

After the two of them had dinner together, Liu Yuxi asked Lin Qingrou about Ye Qingming for once: "How is your relationship with Ye Qingming right now?"

Lin Qingrou didn't seem to care about this at all. She just drank from a glass of water, occasionally looking at the water in it.

"It's alright. After all, he's so busy. Sometimes, it's not like we haven't met for a few days without seeing each other. Now that I'm at work, it's even less. "

Liu Yuxi said with regret, "I keep having the feeling that Ye Qingming is looking at you differently. I keep having this feeling that there's something a little bit helpless and a bit of a pity."

Lin Man gazed at the cup of water, not sure if she should ignore this sentence, or laugh it off. She rarely heard conversations about her and Ye Qingming from other people. Even if they did, they were mostly ordinary and simple answers. It wasn't that she didn't want to think about it, it was just that she didn't dare to think about it.

She only had one heart. The more she thought about it, the more it would waver.

At this point, Lin Qingrou could only reply calmly, "Really? I didn't see it."

Liu Yuxi shook his head helplessly and continued to drink the soup, hoping that he could recover as soon as possible. Of course you wouldn't notice it. Every time, you would look at Ye Qingcheng, or at some other people. To be honest, you're also deliberately avoiding him, right? "

Lin Qingrou was a little surprised, "Ye Qingcheng? Why do you say that? "

Liu Yuxi gulped down the soup and unintentionally said, "Of course, maybe I pay attention to you every time, so I always feel like you will look at Ye Qingcheng intentionally or not. Although I know what you're doing, I still need to 'restrain' myself."

Lin Qingrou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Ye Qingcheng? Why don't I see he doesn't know? "

Liu Yuxi nodded his head, "Of course I know. But others don't. What if they misunderstand?" "For example, I don't know if Ye Qingming noticed it or not."

Lin Qingrou suddenly remembered that Ye Qing had asked him about this before. But that was a long time ago. He didn't expect that Duan Ling Tian had long since noticed that something was off about him.

In this way, Lin Qingrou was even more afraid of being together with Ye Qingming. Everything about him was impeccable, and it frightened her.

Lin Qingrou felt extremely uncomfortable, so she excused herself to leave Liu Yuxi's house. She walked down the street by herself, aimlessly looking at the street lamps. She just didn't want to go home.

It was almost nine in the night when Ye Qingming's phone call came in as usual. Every bit of care and protection he gave her seemed so realistic, to the point where she couldn't even tell which part of the care was real and which part of his anger was fake.

"I... "I'm near home, so I'll be going back soon."

Even if he didn't want to, he had to go back.

"The temperature has dropped. Do you want me to come pick you up?"

Almost subconsciously, Lin Qingrou rejected him, "No! I'm almost there. " Sensing that something was wrong with her tone, she changed to a gentler tone. "It's alright. I'm just around the corner. We're almost there."

Ye Qingming stood on the balcony with his clothes on. There were no more people coming and going at this time, and Lin Qingrou could not argue with him any further, so he could only wait quietly at home.

It was unknown when, but the relationship between the two of them had long since become unlike how it used to be.

At the beginning of their meeting, he had thought that she was deliberately approaching him for money and fame. However, after getting along with him, he slowly denied his judgment. Even now, he still felt that she wasn't simply with him. She might not have come for money, but it was something even more terrifying than money and fame.

However, Ye Qingming did not want to expose her. Perhaps it was because of his rebellious nature, or his desire to quietly observe. He did not want to be able to judge her actions in this short period of time.

Especially since, step by step, many things could not be turned back, many things could not be repeated, his emotions had long surpassed the level of curiosity and conflict. But now, as long as she lived a peaceful and quiet life, he could ignore everything else.

However, Ye Qingming understood that this was very difficult. However, even if it was difficult, he had to use his own abilities to make it come true.
