Qiao Zhixia followed Xu Xiaolan to a three-story European-style building built in front of the park.

"Are you talking about here?" Qiao Zhixia asked uncertainly.

"Yes! This used to be the park activity center, but now they have moved out and are renting it out. Don't you think this is suitable for a garden restaurant?"

Xu Xiaolan thought of Qiao Zhixia's skill in growing flowers. If this place was built into a restaurant and planted with flowers, it would be hard not to be popular with the taste of the Jingyang vegetables and the advantageous environment.

Qiao Zhixia also thought of this.

This location is close to the central city, with convenient transportation, facing the street and backed by the park, making it a quiet place in the bustling city.

They pushed open the door and went in to take a look. The area of ​​each floor was approximately 330 square meters. The structural areas of the three floors were not much different, and each had a large arc-shaped terrace of approximately 30 square meters.

The total area of ​​the three-story building is about 1,200 square meters, and there is a 600-square-meter courtyard by the lake behind the building.

"Great place, let's find a time to rent a unit and discuss the price..."

Two days later, Qiao Zhixia found time to sign a shareholding cooperation agreement with Yu Jinghai.

"All funds will be credited within three days." Qiao Zhixia shook hands with him and said goodbye.

For the next three days, Yu Jinghai felt very uneasy. Facing the pairs of eager eyes in the factory, he didn't dare to look them in the eye.

As long as the funds don't arrive, he won't be able to put his mind at ease.

Especially when meeting an investor like Qiao Zhixia, it is really too fantastic.

The days of waiting were torture, until the afternoon of the third day when the finance department excitedly ran over to tell Yu Jinghai.

"The money has arrived, a full three million—"

More than a dozen workers became excited, and Yu Jinghai's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He took off his glasses and sat on the dusty stone steps, with red at the corners of his eyes.

His hard work was saved...

After a few days of quiet life, Qiao Zhixia almost forgot about compensating Qin Yunlang for the car repair costs.

Until this day, I received a call from Qin Yunlang's assistant at home.

"Ms. Qiao, the damage assessment of our car has come out. Please take some time to come over! I'll give you the address of the company..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhixia was still a little confused.

What was Qin Yunlang doing? Couldn't she just tell him how much money it was and she could just take it over? Did she have to make two trips to get this done?

There was nothing I could do. She had promised to compensate me first, so I just had to endure it.

So she chose an afternoon when she had no classes and went to Qin Yunlang's company according to the address provided by Qin Yunlang's assistant.

Qin Yunlang's technology company is located in a building in the city center. After successfully establishing a foothold in Guangzhou in the past two years, he has successively taken on several large foreign orders.

With his current development momentum, even if he doesn't take over the family group from the old man, he will be able to surpass the Qin family within ten years.

Too bad...he won't live that long.

"Boss, Miss Qiao is here." Assistant Lin pushed the door open.

Qin Yunlang collected his empty thoughts and said, "Let her in."

When Qiao Zhixia entered Qin Yunlang's office, she saw the man leaning back in the boss chair, his long legs crossed and his long, slender fingers crossed over his chest.

The posture is relaxed and somewhat uninhibited.

Qiao Zhixia was distracted for a moment when she saw his appearance, because she thought of Yibao, the little boy who not only looked exactly like his father, but even his demeanor was the same.

Genetics are so magical and powerful. The man only provided a seed. How could the child she gave birth to after nine months of pregnancy look so much like his father?

Fortunately, she still has a little Yangzai. Although Yangzai's face also has the shadow of Qin Yunlang, he looks more like her.

"Are you here?" Qin Yunlang turned the chair and raised his hand to signal her to sit in front of him.

Qiao Zhixia shook off the messy thoughts in her mind and sat down in front of him with confidence.

"How much will the repairs cost?" she asked straight to the point.

Qin Yunlang's deep eyes were fixed on her, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had an unspeakable sorrow that could not be resolved.

"I don't want to talk to you about money today."

"What? Then why did you call me over again?" Qiao Zhixia really couldn't guess what this man was thinking. She always felt that he was a little strange after this meeting.

She clearly felt that he was sometimes close and sometimes far away, and was unpredictable.

Just like now, she always felt that there was a thick fog around him that could not be dissolved, which was depressing and dull.

She frowned slightly, "Qin Yunlang, are you okay?"

Qin Yunlang curved his lips sexy and gave a charming smile, "Do you care about me?"

Qiao Zhixia was in a trance again. This guy really looked like her son. She was confused all the time.

"You'd better tell me the cost of repairing the car! I've brought them all." She patted the bag in her hand and got back to the point.

Qin Yunlang stopped smiling and looked serious. "How can a woman like you walk around with a bag of cash? What if you get robbed by a motorcycle gang?"

Qiao Zhixia didn't expect him to say this. He looked a little angry, as if he was scolding her.

What's this? Didn't he ask her to come?

Qin Yunlang seemed to realize this as well. He pushed Qiao Zhixia's bag back and said seriously and gently:

"Based on the relationship between us, I won't take your money."

The affection between them? This was indeed a bit ambiguous, and Qiao Zhixia could only think about that night with a guilty conscience.

But what Qin Yunlang thought of was the time when he worked with her in that poor village, counting stars and catching fireflies.

The moon in that village is so big and round, and the little girl’s smile is so beautiful and sweet.

Although it was only one year, it was enough to warm his short-lived life.

"If you are sure you don't want the money, then I will take it back." Qiao Zhixia asked tentatively.

"You don't have to pay the money. Just go on a date with me and I'll give you one thousand each time until all sixty thousand is paid off." Qin Yunlang had a smile on his face, but his expectant eyes were extremely serious.

Qiao Zhixia stared at him with her eyes wide open. He was really good at making arrangements. One thousand per date, wouldn't that mean sixty dates? She had the money but didn't want to pay. Why did she sell herself?

"I don't have time to date. I have to go to class." She refused bluntly, "Besides, don't you have a partner now? I don't date a man who has a partner."

"I'll pick you up after class. Besides, I don't have a date, so the date is set. It starts from tomorrow."

This was the first time Qin Yunlang showed his strong and domineering side in front of her, and Qiao Zhixia thought she had heard it wrong.

She hasn't agreed yet, so how can it be settled?

"Let's go, I'll take you home. A date is not a relationship, don't think too much about it." Qin Yunlang stood up and strode to her, wanting to take her home personally.

When Qiao Zhixia thought of the two little kids at home, almost every cell in her body was resisting.

She immediately refused: "No, go ahead and do your work! I can call a taxi myself."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, but because she was in a hurry, her left foot tripped over her right foot and she almost fell the moment she lost her balance. Fortunately, Qin Yunlang was quick to hold her shoulders.

"Be obedient. It's not safe for you to carry cash alone." Qin Yunlang's low and gentle tone seemed to have a bewitching magic, and she couldn't refuse.

So she had no choice but to leave with him. On the way, she gave him a random address, just to trick him over there.

If she really let him go back with her and found the two little cubs, would she ever be able to live a peaceful life?

"I'm here. Find a place to drop me off in front!" Qiao Zhixia pointed to an old street nearby and signaled Qin Yunlang to stop the car.

The car slowly stopped by the roadside. She hurried to unbuckle the safety buckle, but it got stuck instead.

"I'll do it." Qin Yunlang's warm body pressed towards her, and his face lightly brushed the tip of her nose.

As their breaths mingled, she seemed to be able to hear her own frantic heartbeat.

"Okay." He unbuckled his seatbelt, but stopped in front of her when he pulled back.

They were so close that her eyelashes could brush his face. She leaned back in the chair, but there was no way to retreat.

"Are you hiding from me?" His breath hit her face.

She avoided his burning gaze, and the ambiguous atmosphere as their eyes followed him made her face red.

"No."

"Then you don't dare to look at me?" As he spoke, his voice became a little hoarse.

His lips were about to touch her face. She held her breath, opened the car door with her right hand and almost ran away.

Qin Yunlang chuckled, and he got out of the car to take her to the door, "I'll take you there..."

"I'm leaving first. See you next time!" Qiao Zhixia didn't give him a chance and turned around and ran away.

Qin Yunlang frowned in confusion, her guilt was almost written on her face, and he vaguely guessed something.

After Qiao Zhixia ran out of Qin Yunlang's sight, she took advantage of no one's attention to stuff the money into the space, then turned around and went home.

She didn't notice that there was a motorcycle following her, and the man sitting on the back was approaching her with an iron rod...
