Ever since her relationship with Ye Qingming had improved, Lin Qingrou hadn't had any nightmares for a long time.

But tonight, for some reason, she suddenly woke up from her dream. For almost an instant, she thought that she was still in the deep valley of her nightmare.

In the dream, the one who pushed her down was a woman whose face could not be seen clearly.

Lin Qingrou could not see the woman's face nor did she know who she was. However, she could clearly recognize the person behind her. It was Ye Qingming.

She woke up from her nightmare and subconsciously looked at Ye Qingming beside her. She didn't know whether to feel relieved or worry even more. In the dream, his expression was faintly discernible. He wasn't only trying to keep her, but he also wanted her to fall into the cliff.

Lin Qingrou's back was drenched in cold sweat. As she stood up, she felt the hairs on her body standing on end, and her heart was pounding furiously.

After a moment, Ye Qingming turned around and held her. However, he didn't expect his hands to be empty, and he suddenly woke up.

He turned on the lamp again and looked around to see her drinking in the living room.

"Did you have a nightmare?" He had always known that her habit after having a nightmare was to drink water.

Lin Qingrou nodded, sliding down on the chair. She held her forehead and said, "Yes, I don't know why I had such a nightmare."

Ye Qingming held her and comforted her in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay. It's almost dawn. Do you want to sleep a little longer? "

Lin Qingrou leaned into his arms and said expressionlessly, "I dreamt that you pushed me off the cliff and I fell into the valley. Everything was black and I couldn't see my own face."

Ye Qingming couldn't help but laugh, "You want me to explain to you? "I really don't understand. If you check it on the internet, you might be able to get it."

Lin Qingrou looked up at him, trying to find any more information from the expression on his face.

However, Ye Qingming still said, "It's just a dream after all. It's not real, so why do you need to think so much about it?"

Lin Qingrou shook her head. If they were just an ordinary couple, she definitely wouldn't think too much about it. However, they weren't really close relationships after all. Everything they had was built on a very, very weak structure. If they were careless for even a moment, one of them would have fallen into hell.

After a moment, Lin Qingrou seemed to calm down. At the very least, she was no longer as nervous as she was before. She seemed to have returned to her previous self. She got up from Ye Qingming's embrace and said to him, "The sun is about to rise. Go and sleep for a while more."

Ye Qingming shook his head and said, "It won't be that much of a difference. I have to go to work earlier today to accompany Chief Chen in checking the rooms."

Lin Qingrou didn't try to persuade him otherwise. She watched as he busied himself until he finally left home and went to work.

In the end, she was the only one left in the house. She could finally face herself in peace. To her, acting was a very tiring affair. It was like putting on a layer of fake skin and mixing with this chaotic space. She hated what she looked like, but she had to depend on it. Lin Qingrou would often have the illusion that if she did it again, would she choose to take revenge? Or would she continue to do so when she knew that this road to revenge was so difficult, so full of thorns?

She was a bit tired and thought at the same time, "If I had another choice, I wouldn't have chosen to take revenge!" But after thinking for just a moment, she felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. She felt that she was ashamed of her father, and even more ashamed of all the hard work she did.

How could she give up?

After Ye Qingming left, Lin Qingrou did not stay home for long. She came to the company early in the morning. She thought that she might have gotten there early, but she didn't expect to see Shen You Mo working on the paperwork in her office.

"Good morning, Sister Lin." She laughed.

Lin Qingrou really liked the way she smiled. It was like the sun was shining in the sky, warm and warm like the morning sun.

She also smiled and replied, "Early. I didn't expect that you would come even earlier."

Shen Youmo nodded and said, "I live close to home, so I'm often the first to come to the company. There are still some documents that I haven't tidied up yet. I just want to finish them as early as possible so as to not delay today's work. "

Lin Manrou poured two cups of coffee and handed one to her. "I've been busy these past few days and never asked you about it. Has Auntie gotten better?"

Shen You Mo laughed: "It's much better now! I've finally raised the money, and I can finally treat my mother's illness. Also, the professor said he would arrange for my mother's operation as soon as possible. "

Lin Qingrou seemed to feel relieved. After all, Shen You Mo had been involved in this unexpected disaster. It would be good if he could make things better for her.

As the two of them were chatting, they suddenly saw a tall and thin woman walk in from outside the company's entrance. She smiled at them and asked, "Excuse me, is Lin Manmei here?"

Lin Manqing and Shen You Mo looked at each other. Lin ManRou put down her coffee cup and stood up, "I am, may I ask who you are?"

Seeing this, the woman's smile became even wider. She quickly handed over the business card and explained, "My name is Han Qian, I'm a friend of Chief Ye."

Looking at the name card, Lin Qingrou instantly understood the purpose of Han Qian's visit. Coincidentally, it was still early for work, so she said to Han Qian, "What do you want to say? Let's talk outside the company."

Before he left, Lin Qingrou looked at Shen You Mo and nodded.

Han Qian was a good person. After greeting Shen Youmo, she followed Lin MengRou to the company's top floor resting area. She straightforwardly said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Han Qian's eyes flashed with a shrewd light. She naturally understood that Lin Qingrou wasn't the type of person who liked to beat around the bush. Thus, she simply spread it out and said, "Since that's the case, I won't delay you any longer."

As she said that, Han Qian took out an exquisite, heavy, rectangular paper bag from her bag beside her and respectfully pushed it across the table in front of Lin Qingrou.

"This is a gift from me. I hope you can accept it. It wasn't anything precious, just two boxes of tea leaves. I see that your company is busy, so I usually have to drink tea to take care of my body. "

Lin Qingrou laughed, "You're too polite, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm afraid I really can't accept your gift." As she spoke, she pushed the paper bag back in front of Han Qian.

Han Qian was able to maintain her composure and remained unmoved. She continued to speak with a smile, "Actually, I'm not here because of you, Director Ye. He just wanted to know about you. I don't know if you've ever heard Chief Ye mention me. Speaking of which, it was my fault that I never visited you personally. Therefore, you should accept this gift even more! "

As she said that, Han Qian passed the paper bag to Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou didn't mind the trouble, she smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, what's the point? It's my fault you guys were friends and I didn't invite you to my house. If there's a chance, we'll see it in the future. "

After a pause, she continued:

"But I think, if Ye Qingming could accept your conditions, perhaps you wouldn't come looking for me, right? Since you two are friends, then it's better for you to tell him than it is for me to tell him. "

Han Qian said at this moment, "Don't misunderstand. The two of you have only met a few times in the workplace. It has nothing to do with each other."

Although Han Qian said those words, her expression was very calm. She did not move at all and her smile did not decrease in the slightest.

Lin Qingrou didn't mind, she said to her, "Of course I won't, it's just that this is a matter of your work, I don't understand, so I can't make any decisions for him."

Han Qian changed the topic.

"You're right, so you have to help me all the more. "After all, this is a big issue for Director Ye when he was in office. If you manage to succeed, you can have as much tea as you want."

After saying that, Han Qian swept her gaze across the paper bag.

Lin Qingrou accompanied her around for a long time. Just as she was thinking of an excuse to leave, her phone rang.

"Mm, I understand. Just wait a moment, I'll go back now. "

After hanging up, she hurriedly got up and apologized to Han Qian, "I'm really sorry, there's an emergency at work, I'm afraid I have to hurry back."

With that, Lin Qingrou returned the paper bag with both hands. "Since it's a tonic, then Miss Han can keep it for herself. I'm not that delicate, I'm afraid that giving it to me would be a waste of my time." "If you have the chance in the future, remember to come to my house and play!"

Without waiting for Han Qian to say anything, Lin Qingrou left the staircase in a hurry.

When he returned to his office, he coincidentally bumped into Zhao Ru, who had just started work.

When Zhao Ru saw her flustered expression, she subconsciously asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Lin Qingrou tidied up her clothes and smiled, "I just made a phone call."

Zhao Ru nodded, looked at her, then left.

Returning to the office, Lin Qingrou said gratefully, "Luckily you called me just now, or else I wouldn't know when to talk to her."

Shen Youmo secretly smiled, "Just now, you gave me a look before you left. I saw that you were looking at her, so the call to you came back to me after a while."

Lin Qingrou patted her shoulder, laughing, "That's also because you're smart!"

She went back into the house and sat down in the chair, not daring to relax even a little.

But now that she was free, Lin Qingrou couldn't help but think, "Han Qian, just what kind of person is she?" She shook her head and sighed softly. It seemed that he had to ask Ye Qingming about this.

"Han Qian?" Are you talking about Director Han? "

Ye Qingming was so shocked that he asked her a few times.

Lin Qingrou nodded, looking at him obediently, waiting for his answer.

"I know, she's a part of the medical company. I understand the stakes involved."

Ye Qingming smiled, picked up her hand and gently kissed it. Then he said to her, "I really didn't expect Han Qian to find you there. She really has great abilities."

Lin Qingrou nodded. "I was wondering when you had this friend, but after looking at the name card, I realized what it meant."

Ye Qingming thought, "She has been looking for me for a long time for the sake of changing the apparatus. I even went on a business trip once, and when she found out, she flew over to find me! I think they're really going all out. "

Lin Qingrou tapped Ye Qingming's fingers and said, "If someone didn't know, they would have thought it was her chasing you." Is there anything that others have misunderstood? "

She asked excitedly, not looking like she was jealous at all.

Ye Qingming asked with some worry, "I didn't want you to misunderstand me when I told you about this."

Lin Qingrou smiled, "Of course I know. Otherwise, would I still be sitting here chatting with you?"

Then, as if remembering something, she said to him, "She wanted to give me something today, but I didn't take it."

Ye Qingming's eyes turned cold as he asked, "What is it?" Tea? "

Lin Qingrou was shocked. "How did you know?"

Ye Qingming sneered, "This is just an old trick, it's just a deceptive trick." It's a good thing you didn't take it, or I wouldn't have known. "

Lin Manshui curled her lips into a smile and said mysteriously to Ye Qingming, "However, it actually contains money, right?"

Ye Qingming nodded.

Lin Qingrou sucked in a cold breath. Although she had already guessed what would happen, she still felt some lingering fear.

Ye Qingming slowly said, "Each box of tea can fit a portion. After so many years, this has always been the case."

Lin Qingrou asked curiously, "She took two boxes today, how much is it?"

Ye Qingming looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. It was actually a bit scary. He reached out his hand and flipped it up and down.

Lin Qingrou understood, muttering to herself, "100,000 …"

Ye Qingming smiled, pinched her shoulder and got up, "I'll go to the study room first. Remember to sleep early."

Lin Qingrou looked at him and sighed in her heart, "The world is complicated. If I had taken a hundred thousand today, and Ye Qingming's share, I would have taken even more."

Han Qian was not stupid, and neither was the company. If today was a success, then no matter how much effort he put into the earlier stage, as long as he could put his apparatus into use in the hospital, it would be too easy for him to return the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The next night, Ye Qingming stayed at the hospital because he was late to come back. Therefore, Lin Qingrou arranged for Liu Yuxi to go out for dinner.

The two of them took advantage of their good mood on the eve of the weekend to choose an extremely expensive restaurant.

Liu Yuxi heard about what happened to Lin Manshou and Han Qian yesterday, and was speechless. "This group of people, they're simply …"

But then she thought about it and said to Lin Qingrou, "Why didn't you confiscate it? He could get the money, but he could also do the same to Ye Qingming. When you saw it, was Ye Qingcheng in a hurry? "

Lin Qingrou was stunned. She smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought about it, all I thought about was not charging him money. Instead, I was afraid that he might be in the real world. Am I too soft-hearted? "

She seemed absent-minded for a moment, gazing at the night scene behind the glass of the hotel from far away.

Liu Yuxi advised her, "Don't think too much into it. After all, he's with me day and night. It's hard not to have feelings for him."

Lin Qingrou clenched her hands, her heart twitching.

"I also know that this is not a long term plan, but I'm afraid that we will have to separate soon and not meet again."

She became more and more sad. Before she had even eaten anything, she had already begun to drink wine.

Liu Yuxi rarely saw her like this, so he wanted to snatch the wine cup away, but it was already too late when he reached out his hand.

"Seriously, why did you drink it yourself?"

After saying that, Liu Yuxi picked up his wine cup and looked at the sparkling purplish-red liquid in it, sighing emotionally, "Forget it. No matter how expensive the wine is, it's bound to be drunk by someone sooner or later."

After saying that, she downed her cup in one gulp.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Even though they had drank half of the bottle, they still felt normal and didn't feel drunk at all.

After the waiter served the dishes, he looked at the empty bottles of red wine and asked hesitantly, "Would the two of you like any other wines?"

Liu Yuxi waved his hand, his face flushed red.

"Give me another bottle, I want the best one!"

She was already a frequent customer of the restaurant, so the waiter hurried to wake up, fearing that he would suffer from Yu Liuxi's complaints if he were to send her too late.

Lin Qingrou felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if the bad things in her head had slowly disappeared, leaving behind such a happy thing. Unknowingly, she smiled and said, "What about you? What are you going to do, not get married? "

Liu Yuxi stuck his tongue out and said indifferently, "I don't care. So what if you're a man? I only want money!"

After saying that, Liu Yuxi continued to laugh for a while before his face suddenly fell. He said sorrowfully, "I just hope that my grandparents will be fine, even if you don't give me anything. "Why don't they understand that I'm really not being nice to them for the sake of the house!"

Lin Qingrou understood that Liu Yuxi's first 'they' was referring to her cousins, while the second 'they' was referring to her grandparents.

As he spoke, Liu Yuxi forcefully hammered the sofa he was sitting on, as if they were his cousins who had misunderstood her.

Lin Manrou picked up her glass and clinked it against her own.

"In the end, we are not understood by others, so what's the use of understanding! "Who can help you?"

"You're right, we will be lonely. When we come, we will have no one to rely on. When we go, we will also be lonely."

As the two of them spoke, they actually became more and more sentimental.

On the other side of the hospital, Ye Qingming had just gotten off work. After changing into a white coat, he called his home. After thinking for a long time, no one answered. Ye Qingming assumed that Lin Qingrou was outside, so he called her again.

Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was Liu Yuxi.

"She's eating in the hotel. She's drunk. If you're off duty, then hurry up and come. "

Seeing this, Ye Qingming hurriedly drove towards the hotel.

Although Liu Yuxi had a silly smile on his face, he was much more clear-headed than Lin Manmei. She said, "Ye Qingming is here, he came to pick you up."

Lin Qingrou glanced at her, but did not say anything. She simply laid back on the sofa, dozing off.

Liu Yuxi shook his head helplessly, and helped her pack up her things before settling the bill. He looked at Lin Cummings and said, "Tell me, is it because you want to go back on your word that you pretended to be asleep?"

She laughed to herself, feeling foolish.

Ye Qingming had arrived so quickly that Liu Yuxi thought he had rushed past a few red lights. He stepped forward and saw a few empty bottles. He could not help but frown.

At the same time, he picked up Lin Manshui and wrapped her up. After saying goodbye to Liu Yuxi, he hurriedly walked towards the parking lot.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Yuxi chased after him and looked towards Ye Qingming. Before she left, although she knew that she had talked too much, she still said to him in an extremely solemn voice, "I love you very much, perhaps even more than you think. So... You, you must treat her well! "

With that, Liu Yuxi said with a vicious expression, "If you treat her badly, I'll definitely not let you go."

Ye Qingming stood in front of the car in a daze. He looked at Lin Qingrou lying in the car, then he looked at Liu Yuxi. He had no idea what had happened in the past few hours.

However, after coming back to his senses, he still thanked Liu Yuxi and reminded her to be careful.

Liu Yuxi waved his hand confidently, "My chauffeur will come pick me up. As long as you take good care of her, I'll thank you."

After watching Ye Qingming and Lin Manrou leave, Liu Yuxi wrapped his scarf around his neck and placed himself in the cold air as he slowly strolled back home. It was as if this allowed her to be more clear-headed and wanted to know what she wanted. She didn't know if what she had done was right, but she knew that if she could make Lin Qingrou happy in the time she had left, it would be a bad thing.
