Time flew by quickly, and soon it was nearly time to clock out from work.

In the office, Qiu Ruoxi tidied up her things and promptly left her office.

However, she didn’t leave the company nor did she leave her office; instead, she headed to Ye Xunhuan’s place.

Originally, Ye Xunhuan planned to stay with Mei Hanqing, but Mei Hanqing didn’t allow Ye Xunhuan to do so.

After all, Ye Xunhuan is Qiu Ruoxi’s husband, and it’s somewhat inappropriate for him to be with her all the time.

Moreover, she understood Ye Xunhuan’s feelings for her, and she didn’t want to make things difficult for him, so she drove Ye Xunhuan away from her place.

Ye Xunhuan checked the time, and seeing that it was almost time to leave work, he immediately got up to prepare to leave.

As soon as Ye Xunhuan walked out of the office, he bumped into Qiu Ruoxi.

Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi, a surprised expression appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face: "Honey, why are you here?"

"Do you have any plans after work?" Qiu Ruoxi ignored Ye Xunhuan’s surprise and went straight to the point.

"What’s going on?" Ye Xunhuan asked Qiu Ruoxi with some curiosity.

Although the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi as husband and wife was now public, even so, Qiu Ruoxi had never come to find him, Ye Xunhuan, to leave work together!

Today was totally unprecedented.

Usually, if Qiu Ruoxi had any matters, she would just call him. But now she suddenly came over, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but feel puzzled and confused.

"Join me and Mei Hanqing for dinner!" Qiu Ruoxi spoke frankly.

"Ah!" Ye Xunhuan’s eyes widened as he looked at Qiu Ruoxi in disbelief.

"What’s the matter, is there a problem?"

"Um, honey, I don’t need to go, do I?"

Ye Xunhuan originally wanted to find Mei Hanqing, but who would have thought Qiu Ruoxi would want to dine with Mei Hanqing and now even drag him along.

Now Mei Hanqing’s mind was already troubled enough, if he and Qiu Ruoxi were to accompany Mei Hanqing for dinner, and Qiu Ruoxi did something unexpected, then Mei Hanqing...

Just thinking about it gave Ye Xunhuan a headache, what did this woman really want?

"Weren’t you quite concerned about Mei Hanqing before?" Qiu Ruoxi stared at Ye Xunhuan and said, "What, have a meal together, and you don’t have time?"

"Or are you afraid of having dinner with Mei Hanqing?"

Saying that, Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes turned sharp, continuously scanning Ye Xunhuan.

Although Ye Xunhuan knew that Qiu Ruoxi was using reverse psychology, he still hummed in reply, "Afraid? What do I have to be afraid of..."

"Then stop with the nonsense!" Qiu Ruoxi directly interrupted Ye Xunhuan, "Let’s go, accompany me to find Mei Hanqing!"

Looking at Qiu Ruoxi’s carefree silhouette, Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly. He knew there was no escaping today, he was destined to accompany Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing for dinner.

Following Qiu Ruoxi to Mei Hanqing’s office, Mei Hanqing was slightly surprised to see Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi appear together!

Before Mei Hanqing could speak, Qiu Ruoxi spoke up, "Han Qing, I brought this guy, you don’t mind, do you?"

Mei Hanqing lightly shook her head, "I don’t mind!"

Saying that, Mei Hanqing glanced at Ye Xunhuan.

And Ye Xunhuan had a look of helplessness on his face, as if telling Mei Hanqing that it was Qiu Ruoxi who insisted on dragging him here!

The three said little else and directly left the company.

During work hours, Qiu Ruoxi had already called to reserve the restaurant, so after leaving the company the three headed straight to the restaurant.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, guided by the server, the three entered a private room.

Once seated in the room, Qiu Ruoxi asked Mei Hanqing to order the dishes.

But Mei Hanqing refused.

Joking, Qiu Ruoxi is her boss, and when the boss treats you to a meal, if you actually order, it wouldn’t be long before you’re shown the door.

Although Mei Hanqing knew Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t that kind of person, she still didn’t order.

Understanding that Mei Hanqing wasn’t in a good mood, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t insist and ordered a few dishes herself before tossing the menu to Ye Xunhuan.

When dealing with Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t as courteous as she was with Mei Hanqing.

Ye Xunhuan felt a deep sense of helplessness regarding this.

After ordering the dishes, once the server left, Qiu Ruoxi immediately began discussing with Mei Hanqing: "Han Qing, are the kids at the welfare home doing well now?"

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t bring up Mei Hanqing’s personal history or mention Jian Yunong, instead starting with the welfare home as a topic.

To Mei Hanqing, the welfare home was like her home, filled with bittersweet memories, and that’s where the old director was.

Using the welfare home as a topic was undoubtedly the best choice.

"All are well, thank you, President Qiu, for your concern."

"It’s nothing," Qiu Ruoxi said casually, "I still miss those kids, and the old director too, wondering if he’s still the same as before, unwilling to take a moment’s rest!"

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi mention the old director, a warm smile appeared on Mei Hanqing’s fatigued face, "He’s been in that habit his whole life, it’s difficult to get him to relax!"

Perhaps because of the welfare home topic, Mei Hanqing and Qiu Ruoxi seemed to have opened up and began talking incessantly.

Watching the two women in front of him, Ye Xunhuan had to admire the ability of his wife to get people talking.

She knows the simplest method to make the other party talk and share with her.

And at this moment, Qiu Ruoxi was wholly different from the aloof figure she was in the company; now, Qiu Ruoxi seemed like a caring boss.

Making Ye Xunhuan marvel at how women are certainly versatile creatures.

While Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing were chatting, the server brought all the dishes along with a bottle of red wine.

By the time the dishes arrived, Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t touched upon any topics regarding Mei Hanqing’s personal history.

It was as if, to Qiu Ruoxi, regardless of Mei Hanqing’s background, she was just an employee under her.

And Qiu Ruoxi was merely showing concern for her employee.

Topics among women are ones that men can’t often insert into.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was facing such a situation.

Amidst the chat between Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing, Ye Xunhuan had nothing to contribute, so he could only sit there with wide eyes.

Midway through the meal, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly shifted the topic: "Han Qing, I know I shouldn’t bring up your personal history!"

"But you’re facing it now, and the old director is very worried about you."

"President Qiu..."

"The old director called me and asked me to comfort you. I wanted to comfort you, but in such matters, I don’t know how to comfort either!" Qiu Ruoxi waved her hand, cutting off Mei Hanqing, and continued, "But the old director asked me to tell you one thing!"

"They might have been wrong, and you hate them, but regardless, your life was given by them. Without them, there would be no you," Qiu Ruoxi repeated what the old director told her over the phone.

"Honey, did the old director call you?" Ye Xunhuan asked in surprise, looking at Qiu Ruoxi.

Just as Ye Xunhuan was speaking, the private room’s door suddenly was knocked by someone.
