After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

Song Yanxi did not take Chen Huai with him on this overseas business trip.

After two or three days of busy work, he finally finished the project and returned to China on Wednesday afternoon.

Seeing him entering the office, Chen Huai quickly followed him in.

After reporting on the work of the past few days, Chen Huai stood there silently listening to the man's words.

The man who was immersed in the document signed his name at the end of the last page of the document. He slightly raised his eyes and looked at him: "Book a private room at Qianwei Pavilion for the evening. The check and Huajin I asked you to prepare last time Bring the transfer certificate of the garden with you as well.”

"Mr. Song..." Chen Huai paused: "Have you really decided to let Mr. Chu leave?"

Song Yanxi closed the document: "Yeah."

Chen Huai felt a little unworthy for Chu Yanyi: "Young Master Chu loves you so much. He has served you with all his heart in the past two years..."

Song Yanxi put down his pen, leaned back against the chair, and sighed slightly: "Xiao Lian is my savior, I can't let him down."

"As for Chu Yanyi, I made it very clear to him from the beginning that he and I are only in a transactional relationship supported by money. I have also warned him long ago not to get emotional in this relationship. It's him who failed to control himself. My heart is moved by emotions I shouldn’t have.”

After a pause, he added: "Although it is impossible for me to respond to his feelings, I also gave him compensation. The compensation is enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life."

Chen Huai's expression was somewhat speechless. Although he never questioned his boss's decision, at this moment he couldn't help but silently cursed: Scumbag!

Can feelings be measured in money?

You can't let Bai Yueguang down. Why did you support Young Master Chu in the first place?

She was thinking about Bai Yueguang, but she kept Chu Shao as a substitute. She seemed affectionate, but in fact she was worse than anyone else.

Those who are scumbags will always be scumbags.

Mr. Chu loves you so much, aren't you afraid of retribution for letting him down?

Chen Huai just kept thinking about losing his job and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Song Yanxi raised his hand and glanced at his watch and said to him: "You call now to ask where Chu Yanyi is and ask Qiu Liang to pick him up."

Chen Huai responded and took out his cell phone to make a call in front of Song Yanxi.

"Hello! The number you dialed is power off. Sorry! The subscriber you dialed is power off..."

Hearing the sweet female voice coming from Chen Huai's mobile phone, Song Yanxi's face suddenly turned ugly.

Chen Huai: "...I'll try again."

Song Yanxi suddenly remembered that during the past few days when he was on a business trip abroad, his mobile phone seemed to have received no messages from Chu Yanyi.

In the past, regardless of whether he would reply or not, Chu Yanyi would send him a message to say hello every morning, noon and evening, without interruption.

There hasn't been one in the past few days. He must have gone too far that night. In addition, he didn't go to Huajin Garden these days when he was on a business trip, and he didn't let anyone say anything. Chu Yanyi was probably losing his temper and did it on purpose. Don’t send him a message to say hello.

Thinking of this, Song Yanxi stopped Chen Huai who was dialing: "Stop calling."

Chen Huai was stunned for a moment and put away his phone: "...Do you still have a reservation for the private room in Qianwei Pavilion?"

Song Yanxi frowned: "No need to decide."

"The check and transfer book..." Chen Huai wanted to say something else, but Song Yanxi waved his hand, obviously not wanting to continue this topic, so he had to leave.

When he turned around, he heard Song Yanxi ask: "How are you preparing for Xiao Lian's birthday party?"

Chen Huai turned around and said, "I have prepared everything according to your instructions."

Song Yanxi didn't take him with him on this business trip because he wanted him to prepare for Bai Lian's birthday the day after tomorrow.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Chen Huai analyzed the arranged venue and concluded that his boss probably wanted to confess his love on Bai Lian's birthday.

Song Yanxi nodded and said nothing more.

Before Chen Huai left, he took a deep look at him and expressed his disdain for the boss's scumbag behavior of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.

After the office door closed, Song Yanxi leaned his head back on the chair and closed his eyes. Chu Yanyi's delicate and beautiful face passed through his mind unconsciously.

Chu Yanyi, that fool, knew that she wouldn't like him, but still loved him wholeheartedly.

Song Yanxi laughed at his naivety while secretly feeling satisfied.

It feels great to be loved wholeheartedly by someone. You don't have to respond to the other person's love. There is no pressure and you feel relaxed physically and mentally. You can also enjoy the tenderness and thoughtfulness of the other person.

Chu Yanyi specially learned cooking skills for him, served him in bed with all his heart, and looked like him.

He felt a little reluctant to let Chu Yanyi leave.

Even though he was reluctant to let go, between Chu Yanyi and Xiao Lian, he could only choose Xiao Lian.

Song Yanxi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, erasing Chu Yanyi's figure from his mind.

At this time, the mobile phone placed on the table rang. It was Jing Xiuyuan's call. He picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Yanxi, are you back from your business trip?"

"You're back, what's the matter?"

"Did you know that Xiao Lian was hospitalized?"

Song Yanxi's hand holding the phone paused slightly: "What's wrong with him?"

"I've been in the hospital for two days because of my heart discomfort caused by a cold. He knows you're busy with work and hasn't told you about it. If you can spare time today, come to the hospital to see him."

Thinking that Bai Lian had a bad heart because he blocked a knife for himself nine years ago, Song Yanxi asked, "Which hospital is he in?"

"Rikon."

Ruikang Hospital is a high-end private hospital invested by Song.

"I am going now."

After hanging up the phone, Song Yanxi rushed to the hospital immediately.

"When I left that day, you were still in good health. Why did you suddenly catch a cold?" Song Yanxi asked while sitting by the bed.

Bai Lian coughed lightly: "Maybe it was because when I went back to high school with you that day, I wore too few clothes and got cold."

Song Yanxi frowned slightly: "You have a bad heart. A small cold can cause heart discomfort. You should pay more attention to this in the future."

"I know."

In fact, it wasn't that he was short of clothes at all, but that he deliberately stood on the terrace and blew in the cold wind for half the night that night after meeting Chu Yanyi.

Choosing to be hospitalized in Ruikang Hospital under the name of the Song family was also to let Song Yanxi know about this.

As a result, no one from the hospital called to tell Song Yanxi, so he had no choice but to use Jing Xiuyuan to tell Song Yanxi about his hospitalization.

Everyone in the circle knows that he is Song Yanxi's Bai Yueguang, and Chu Yanyi is his stand-in. But now that he has been back for more than half a month, Song Yanxi not only did not drive away Chu Yanyi, but also did not confirm his relationship with him, so everyone was speculating whether Song Yanxi had moved on and fell in love with Chu Yanyi.

Originally, with his family background, he was not in Song Yanxi's circle, but because he was the person Song Yanxi liked, those people would consider Song Yanxi's face, let him integrate into the circle, and support him.

He also did this to arouse Song Yanxi's guilt, so that he could take the initiative to confirm the relationship between the two at the birthday party the day after tomorrow, and cut off the suspicion of those in the circle.

Song Yanxi learned from the doctor that Bai Lian was fine and could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. He stayed with Bai Lian for a while and then drove away.

I originally wanted to go to Huajin Garden, but thinking that Chu Yanyi was having a temper, I had already decided to let him leave. There was no need to go there. He turned around and went back to the rose garden, thus missing out on discovering Chu Yanyi's departure earlier.
