The sky gradually darkened and night fell.
Song Qingyouâs work was almost done when she realized Zhuang Wei hadnât left yet.
Just as she looked up, their eyes met.
Zhuang Wei opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak.
Before she could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
The office door was open, and Song Qingyou turned to look.
Yu Muhuai smiled. âMay I come in?â
âOf course you can.â Zhuang Wei answered first.
âSorry to bother you.â
Yu Muhuai walked in with a few thermal lunch boxes.
âThese are the dishes that my fans sent me. I canât finish so much by myself. They put them down and ran awayâ¦â
âI see that you havenât gone downstairs yet. You probably havenât had dinner yet. Do you want to eat together?â
There was no rule in the office that forbade people from eating here.
After all, when she was too busy with work, Shen Fei would eat while working.
Song Qingyou nodded.â1 Sure.â
Yu Muhuai moved Lin Huiâs chair over and set up a few lunch boxes.
His side profile was like a painting under the light, and his blue-gray hair seemed to glow with starlight.
Zhuang Wei had been staring at him since he came in.
She finally couldnât hold it in anymore. She walked up to Yu Muhuai with a notebook and tried to push Song Qingyouâs chair away.
âYu Muhuai, Iâm your fan. Can I have your autograph?â
Yu Muhuai raised his eyebrows slightly. âIâm sorry. My hands are oily. Itâs not convenient.â
âIf it s possible, can you not disturb Qingyou and I having dinner?â
âYes, yes, of course.â
Even though it was after work, their every move was still under the camera.
Zhuang Wei lowered her eyes slightly and restrained the anger in her eyes.
Then, she put down the notebook and left.
Ln the office, the area where the two of them were eating was lit up, and the surroundings were a little dark.
As Yu Muhuai ate, he suddenly laughed.
âWe are having a candlelight dinner now.â
âIs that so?â Song Qingyou blinked. âI think this is better than a candlelight dinner.â
âWhat do you mean?11
âDonât you think a candlelight dinner is stupid? Before the invention of the electric light, everyone ate like that every day. Itâs very inconvenient for them to eat like that now. Moreover, I just saw on the news that a candlelight dinner caused a fire.â
Yu Muhuai laughed heartily.
âThis is the first time Iâve heard someone say that. But youâre too straightforward. Youâll offend a lot of people.â
Song Qingyou admitted her mistake. âThatâs my personal opinion. Iâm narrow-minded.â
Her thinking was more rational, so it was not surprising that she would think this way.
Yu Muhuai chuckled. âIt seems that even if thereâs no candlelight tonight, itâs still a candlelight dinner.â
Just as Song Qingyou was about to nod and thank him, Chen Lanâs voice came from outside.
âHey, Zhizhi, donât be anxious. Weâre almost there. Why did you unzip your carrier and run out?â
Jiang Zhihan, who was sitting in the cat carrier, couldnât wait to run out when he heard the words candlelight dinnerâ.
According to Chen Lan, there were only Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai in the secretaryâs office.
If it really was a candlelight dinner, then it must have been Yu Muhuaiâs doing!
How dare he do such fancy things in the company?
The cat ran into the office and looked at the two people sitting together. He was a little confused.
Where was the candlelight dinner? Where was the candlelight?
Song Qingyou couldnât help but pick up the cat when she saw his blank expression.
âIs Zhizhi looking for me?â
âOf course heâs looking for you.â Chen Lan quickly followed him. âHe came out of the cat carrier at rhe door. He must have smelled you!â
Song Qingyouâs lips curved. âThen do 1 have a cat or a dog?â1
J lang Zhihanâ s face was cold as he thought, Of course itâs a cat!â
âMaybe he was a dog in his previous life.â
Then, she glanced at the lunch box on the table. âWhy are you two eating together? Where are the others?â1
Chen Lan was a little worried that Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai were dating in private.
Yu Muhuaiâs popularity was rising day by day and he would definitely make it into the top loo this year.
Song Qingyou was even more so.
However, if the two of them fell in love, all their previous efforts would be in vain!
âEveryone else went to dinner with people from the same department. We re all people who have fallen from grace and have to work overtime.â
Chen Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that they were only together because they were working overtime.
âThen Iâll wait for you here.â1 Chen Lan said, âThe production team wonât let you hitch a ride with me. Iâll bring Zhizhi over to meet you. There shouldnât be a problem, right?â
The rules for this episode were rhe same as the previous episode. One had to settle their own food, accommodation, and transportation.
Fortunately, the Jiangyuan Corporationâs employees had always been treated well. They all lived in the staff dormitory, and it was even a single room.
Song Qingyou didnât think much about what Chen Lan said and only asked Zhizhi what he had done today from time to time.
Yu Muhuai rarely spoke. His dark eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist.
He stared at the cat in Song Qingyouâs arms for a while, his eyes dark and cold.
The cat seemed to be unaware of the danger and even met Yu Muhuaiâs gaze.
Jiang Zhihan tentatively raised his paw and hugged SongQingyouâs arm. As expected, the manâs face darkened.
Song Qingyou put down her chopsticks. âIâm full. You brought the food, so let me wash the lunch box. I ll send it to you tomorrow.â
âAlright.â Yu Muhuai smiled.
The speed at which he changed his expression was comparable to a Sichuan opera performer.
After dinner, Yu Muhuai invited Song Qingyou to leave with him.
The latter declined politely. âSister Lan and I are going to take a walk nearby and walk the cat.â
Only dogs need to be walked! Jiang Zhihan r aised his hand to his forehead.
He thought that Yu Muhuai would shamelessly follow her, but he was actually quite perceptive and left after being rejected.
Two people and a cat went downstairs. Jiang Xuyan, who was guarding the door, waved at them.
âYou have to work overtime on the first day. Qingyou, do you have a lot of work?â
Jiang Zhihan finally realized what was going on. Song Qingyou had to work overtime on her first day at the company?
Did someone bully her on purpose?
The more Jiang Zhihan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He completely ignored Song Qingyouâs personality and her strong martial strength.
âItâs alright.â Song Qingyou said.
âYingnan and the others left after work⦠Eh, it seems that Muhuai is still inside. It seems that he has more work than you!â
âIs that so?â
Song Qingyou subconsciously looked back upstairs.
However, the floor was too high and she couldnât see where Yu Muhuai was.
After both parties bid farewell, Chen Lan waited until there were no more cameras before muttering, âYu Muhuai just asked you to go with him. I didnât expect him to not finish his work!â
âBut donât interact with him in front of the camera in the future. Just having a meal alone is enough.â
Tin not interested in gossip.â Song Qingyou nodded.
âIâm afraid that theyâll take the initiative to come to youââ
Chen Lan always felt that Yu Muhuai treated Song Qingyou differently.
But thinking back, the other party didnât seem to have done anything special.
Chen Lan thought that she was overthinking and did not say anything.
Song Qingyou walked her to the parking lot and put Zhizhi into the cat carrier.
âSister Lan, hurry up and take Zhizhi away. If I carry him any longer, I wonât be able to bear it.â
âIsnât it just a cat?â Chen Lan, who did not keep pets, was extremely puzzled.
âThatâs also my beloved cat.â
Song Qingyou held her catâs face, her forehead and nose pressed against it.
Jiang Zhihan looked around uncomfortably, but he didnât look at Song Qingyou.
Chen Lan opened the car door. ââDonât worry. Iâll take care of Zhizhi like an ancestor!â
That night, Fang Yan received two messages:
[ It is forbidden to eat in the office from now on. I
[ Even the new interns in our company have to work overtime? I
