Seeing him move his chopsticks, Song Mai served him a small bowl of soup.

Lotus seeds and lilies nourish the heart and calm the mind.

The first time she saw him, she knew that he had not had a rest since leaving the Western Country and looked very anxious. This bowl of lotus seeds and lilies was just right for him.

Song Mai ate voraciously, and when she put down her chopsticks, she realized that all the plates on the table had been empty.

She touched her round belly and felt very happy.

"Now that we're full, let's go home."

"it is good."

After arriving home, Song Mai went back to the bedroom to pack her luggage and take a shower, while Chu Xing went to the study.

Song Mai had to go to work early the next morning, so she washed the clothes she brought back, took a shower, dried her hair, and prepared to go to bed.

Although she knew she was safe in the Western Country these days, she had not yet returned to China safely. Everything was uncertain, which made her feel very uneasy. The best sleep she had was the day Chu Xing went to the Western Country to find her.

Ever since he left, her sleep quality began to decline again, and it was not until she got home that she finally felt completely at peace.

As soon as she got into bed, she felt very sleepy and fell asleep after a while.

Chu Xing sat at his desk, the light from the computer shining on his face. Although he had a lot of work on hand, he seemed to have no intention of doing it.

The cell phone kept buzzing. It was Chu Mingqian's call, and this was the nth missed call.

Chu Xing pressed the answer button somewhat irritably.

The tone was a little impatient.

"what's up?"

Chu Mingqian calmed down for a long time before making this call, ready to talk to Chu Xing calmly about the matter. However, Chu Xing showed this attitude as soon as the call was connected, which made Chu Mingqian, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, lose all his efforts in an instant.

"What's your attitude? I'm talking to you nicely and this is your attitude?"

"What's your matter? If you want to persuade me to divorce, then you don't need to tell me."

Chu Xing's arrogant attitude made Chu Mingqian so angry that he started yelling.

"Don't forget who you are talking to! I am your father, not someone you can order around at will! I tell you, I won't allow you to keep that woman in the company. She will only ruin you!"

"Dududu-"

However, the next second, the man hung up the phone without hesitation, leaving Chu Mingqian roaring.

He was so angry that he threw his phone away and paced back and forth in the yard with his hands on his hips.

Qin Jizhi came over in his pajamas and told him to go back to bed, and happened to see this scene.

She crossed her arms and looked at the man who was extremely angry.

"Is this what you call a calm and peaceful conversation between men?"

Chu Mingqian's chest heaved with anger and he didn't speak for a long time.

Qin Jizhi walked to the bench next to him and sat down.

"Tomorrow our vacation will end. You told me not to act rashly. Is your method effective?"

Chu Mingqian was already very angry with Chu Xing, and now he felt even more angry when he heard Qin Jizhi's words.

"Stop being so sarcastic. My method is useless. I won't care about it anymore. Whoever wants to care can do it!"

As he spoke, he walked angrily towards the living room.

Under the moonlight, Qin Jizhi's pretty face showed a bit of viciousness, and there was undisguised coldness in his eyes.

She is in charge, she will definitely take care of it!

I will make sure that woman never appears in front of Chu Xing again!

Chu Xing stayed in the study until midnight, and only returned to the bedroom after finishing some important tasks.

At this time, Song Mai was already fast asleep, holding the quilt in his arms and one leg stretched out of the quilt.

The heating in the room was a little high and she seemed to feel a little hot.

Chu Xing lowered the temperature, tucked the quilt in for her, then sat by the window and watched her quietly.

There was only a small table lamp on in the room, and the dim light shining on her face made her look softer and more hazy.

She still felt a little hot and was somewhat dissatisfied with the man wrapping her tightly. She frowned and struggled to lift the quilt, revealing a piece of white arm.

The man's heart softened, and he leaned over and gave Song Mai a light kiss on the forehead.

The next day, Song Mai had just stepped into the translation department when Su He jumped up to him.

"Sister Maizi, it's great that you're back! I felt like I hadn't seen you for a few days."

Song Mai smiled and took her hand.

"Well, you see I'm back now, and we can eat together and go to work and come home every day again."

As she spoke, she took out the gift for Su He from her bag. Su He was immediately very happy and thanked Song Mai again and again.

Song Mai picked up the coffee beans he had bought earlier and walked towards Tang Lanlan's office. Tang Lanlan always came early and was already sitting in the office.

Song Mai knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing a response from inside.

"You're back."

Tang Lanlan, as usual, was wearing a well-fitting suit, looking serious and intellectual.

"I'm back. These are the coffee beans for you. I didn't know what flavor you like, so I picked one at random. If it doesn't suit your taste, I hope you don't mind."

Tang Lanlan took the bag of coffee beans, and the moment she saw the pattern on the bag, her eyes softened and a rare smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"This is it? Did Manager Ji take you there?"

Song Mai's eyes lit up.

"Have you been to this place too? But it wasn't Manager Ji who took me there. It was someone from the Western Coffee Shop who recommended it to me, but I met Manager Ji there."

Tang Lanlan smiled and nodded, and moved the bag of coffee beans closer and sniffed it. The morning fatigue in her eyes instantly disappeared a little.

"Manager Ji bought some coffee when we went on a business trip to the West before and gave each of us some. I am not interested in coffee. I only drink coffee to refresh myself. For me, there is no difference between hand-ground coffee and instant coffee, so you don't have to worry about it not being to my taste. However, the coffee here tastes really good. I was amazed the first time I drank it, so I was impressed and asked you about it."

This was the first time that Tang Lanlan had talked so much to Song Mai outside of work, which made her feel flattered for a moment.

"So that's how it is. It's fine as long as you like it."

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Tang Lanlan's sincere eyes made Song Mai happy from the bottom of his heart.

She just came out of Tang Lanlan's office and ran into Ji Fenghe.

"Morning, Manager Ji."

The man nodded: "Morning."

After a brief greeting, the two went about their own business.

Su He leaned over to look with a look of disbelief.

"Sister Maizi, have you reconciled with Manager Ji?"

Song Mai looked at her with some amusement.

"When did I quarrel with him?"

Su He scratched the back of his head, thought for a while and said, "I remember that during the press conference, you and Manager Ji were... not very happy, and you also felt that he was targeting you."
