She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Yuan Tianye said that he had prepared a surprise for me, and he would come to me and tell me it in person, which means that he would be by my side soon.

Moreover, at this moment, I could also hear the clanging of the train and the noisy voices around me from the other end of the phone.

Yuan Tianye is on the train, he should be on his way back.

I asked again: "Didn't you say it would take at least half a month? How come you're back so soon?"

Yuan Tianye is a free traveler. He would go out to collect folk songs for at least half a month before coming back. How come he only came back after a few days this time? Did something happen?

"I missed my sister. I felt very sad when I didn't see her for even one day, so I hurried back." Yuan Tianye answered with a smile, but quickly returned to his serious look. "But it will take some time before I can go back. The means of transportation here have not been upgraded. They are still green iron sheets. It's very slow. The fastest I can get back is tomorrow afternoon."

"I didn't run away, why are you sad? Besides, it's so convenient to make phone calls or video calls now. If you want me, you can just call me directly. Why did you put down everything you wanted to do and come back to find me?" He teased me like that, and my tense mood instantly improved a lot.

"No, don't worry, sister. I have done everything I wanted to do. I really rushed back because I missed you." Yuan Tianye hurriedly coaxed me, and then said, "Sister, the signal here is not very good. Once we enter the cave, the signal will be cut off. I will...will...not..."

It's really astonishing. It seems that he has entered the cave and can't receive any signal.

But I had already received the message he wanted to convey, so I hung up the phone.

But I felt a little strange in my heart. A person's behavior pattern is fixed and will not change unless something unexpected happens in the middle. Xiao Ye usually needs at least half a month to collect folk songs. Why is the time so short this time? There must be a reason.

Never mind. He will be back tomorrow afternoon anyway. I will ask him then.

Ono's call made me feel a little better. I continued driving back home, took a shower, drank a large glass of water, and then fell into a deep sleep.

I was indeed very tired and in urgent need of a good rest, but I slept very uneasily and kept dreaming.

Half asleep and half awake, I saw Zhou Hanzhi again.

Seeing him standing in the middle of the Zhou family hall, surrounded by verbal battles and countless attacks, his tall figure standing there made me feel thin and fragile for the first time.

He was seen in the study, kneeling in front of the windowsill, with Old Madam Zhou in front of him, with a solemn and serious face. She was scolding him in a low voice and questioning him repeatedly, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Seeing that he finally couldn't hold on and fell down, his handsome face was as white as paper, and even his lips had lost their color.

I suddenly woke up from the bed, sat up with a whoosh, and found that I was covered in sweat.

It was getting dark outside, and for a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was dusk or dawn.

I couldn't help but grab my phone to check the messages again, and this time, there were indeed new messages on my phone.

You He sent me a message asking me how I was doing, and Wu Ling also called me, but I didn’t answer the call.

Only Zhou Hanzhi's message box remained silent, with no messages coming in.

As I thought back to the scenes in my dream, my heart became heavier and more depressed.

It's a dream, but it's so real.

Could it be that Zhou Hanzhi had fainted at this moment, just as I dreamed? Otherwise, why didn't he send me a message?

The waiting is really excruciating.

At this moment, Wu Ling called me. I answered the phone and heard Wu Ling's cheerful voice: "Xu Xu, it's already six o'clock in the afternoon. Have you finished your work?"

"Well, it's done. I'm at home." I coughed lightly to make my voice sound clearer.

As expected, Wu Ling did not notice anything unusual. Her tone became happier. "Great, then come to my house soon. I'll tell you, I went to the market today and bought a black chicken. I stewed it all afternoon and made a pot of black chicken soup with angelica and red dates. It smells delicious. Come quickly and let's drink it together."

"Sister, you, you make soup?" I was really shocked.

Wu Ling was born into a wealthy family and was the apple of her family's eye. Naturally, she was doted on since she was young. Later, when she was with Zhang Jiahao, she was also a pampered little princess. I have never heard of her doing anything to cook for her.

The kitchen in her house is just for decoration and has basically never been used... Oh no, it seems like her kitchen was used this morning and she even made breakfast for me.

I was so dizzy at the time that I hadn't reacted yet, but she actually started cooking.

But, there’s nothing wrong with making a simple breakfast, but she can actually make soup?

"Yes, Zeng Zhi made this soup for me. He said that drinking this soup is good for women's health. I learned it by watching from the side. However, today is the first time I have done it independently. Xuxu, if you have nothing to do, come over and share it with me, okay?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Ling started to beg me coquettishly: "I don't know what happened. Later, I didn't want to go anywhere. I just wanted to stay at home. But I have been alone at home these days. Zeng Zhi, that bastard, originally said that he would come back to accompany me today, but he broke the promise at the last minute. I am really bored to death. Just think of it as accompanying me, okay?"

Just tell me, who can resist the coquettishness of a beautiful woman?

Who else can resist the coquettishness of a beautiful woman who transforms from a mature woman to a soft girl?

I couldn't bear it anyway, so I agreed immediately and got up to leave. Only then did Wu Ling hang up the phone.

But I couldn't help but feel emotional. It turns out that people can really be influenced and changed by their loved ones. Wu Ling used to be such a playful person, but now he is alone in an empty room and has to cook for the family. It is really unimaginable.

But I noticed a detail in Wu Ling's words. Zeng Zhi had originally promised to go back to accompany her today, but he broke the promise again.

Does that mean that Zhou Hanzhi had already been discharged from the hospital, but then something happened again, so Zeng Zhi needed to stay and continue to take care of him?

So, how is Zhou Hanzhi doing now?

I couldn't help but start to worry about Zhou Hanzhi again.

For a moment, I really wanted to run to Zhou's house to see how Zhou Hanzhi was doing.

But I can't, I have to restrain myself and wait.

On the way to Wu Ling's house, I called You He.

He had obviously been waiting for a long time, and as soon as the call was connected, he couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

I told him everything, and even You He, who is always mature and steady, couldn't help but gasp: "This time it's too dangerous! I only thought Zhou Pinzhi was dangerous before, but I didn't expect that he and Jiang Yin colluded to plot against you. Xuxu, Zhou Hanzhi saved you again."

He used the word "again", which touched my heart.
