Ruan ngxi stayed at ho for a full 7 days. Without waiting until next week, she chose a Saturday to return to Beijing, as she needed to clean up her place and prepare the materials she would need for work on Monday.
After flying ho in the afternoon, she went over to Tang Wan’s place to snag so dinner.
"If you didn’t co, I would’ve thought you were standing up." Tang Wan glanced at her hands still carrying a bunch of stuff, frowning slightly, "Why did you buy things?"
"I didn’t buy them. My parents made bring these to you. It’s just a bunch of stuff, and so are for my little aunt, those are still at my place."
"How are Uncle and Auntie doing lately?"
"Sa old, sa old."
As they ate and chatted, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang deliberately avoided ntioning Qi Zeyan. Ruan ngxi appeared calm, as if nothing had happened, and the conversation shifted to his cousin.
"When does your cousin start school? I’ll treat him to a al when he arrives," Tang Wan smiled, clearly on good terms.
"Probably mid-September, freshn start later."
"Where’s his school? Is he staying with you?" Ruan ngxi had a spare room.
"They’re very strict there. I heard there’s daily checks by teachers and rooms need to be kept tidy, maybe he can co out on weekends."
...
As Tang Wan saw her out, she deliberately avoided Jiang Jinsang and asked if she was really okay.
"What’s there to worry about? Look at , I’ve even gained weight."
"You’re starting work, and isn’t it ’see him around’ all the ti?" Tang Wan could tell Ruan ngxi really liked him.
Getting over a relationship isn’t that easy.
Ruan ngxi simply smiled:
"Feelings and work aren’t the sa. Besides, the salary at Qi Group is high, and the bonuses are great. It’s a good job, and I’m not planning to quit over an unrelated guy; it’s not worth it."
"Let tell you, with n, if you can find one like Wuye, that’s really lucky. In reality, there are too many unreliable and irresponsible n."
"Isn’t making money more rewarding than spending ti on them?"
"Only money truly belongs to oneself."
Tang Wan nodded and smiled, as long as she could understand that.

Qi Group, Monday
Qi Zeyan hadn’t been to the company for a long ti, and it was still Xiaozhu and Ruan ngxi who picked him up and dropped him off at work.
Everything seed the sa as usual.
After not seeing her for many days, she was still dressed appropriately for work, and when their eyes t, she gave him a slight smile, very composed, as if nothing had happened before.
"Zeyan, look, Xiaoruan went back once and even brought us gifts. You, child, it’s not easy to earn money, keep it yourself, don’t spend it rashly." Although the old man Qi said this, he was actually pleased.
Then he suddenly thought, glaring sharply at his own grandson:
This useless fellow.
The Xie’s granddaughter liked him, but he didn’t like her; Xiaoruan is a nice girl too, but he doesn’t fancy her either. Really don’t know what kind of person he likes.
"Boss, that one’s a gift for you, just so specialty goods from Pingjiang," Ruan ngxi smiled pointing at a gift box on the table, which had the Yiyu Tea House logo on it, probably so kind of sweets.
"Thank you, no need to waste money sending things next ti. Just do your own job well." Qi Zeyan adjusted his tie with a slightly cold tone.
Ruan ngxi smiled and nodded.
At least she rembered to bring him a gift, which comforted Qi Zeyan a bit.
He hadn’t been to the company for a while and had a lot to handle, with etings and reports keeping him busy all morning. By the ti he got back to his office, it was already 12 o’clock.
He found out Xiaozhu hadn’t prepared lunch for him at all.
"Did you not order food for ?"
"Didn’t you say you don’t need to order food for you anymore?" Xiaozhu stood in front of him, trembling slightly.
"Did I say that?" Qi Zeyan frowned.
That seed to be after Ruan ngxi started sending food to him. Every day she’d thoughtfully prepare his lunch, surely better than ordering from outside. Over ti, he told Xiaozhu not to order for him anymore.
Now that his relationship with Ruan ngxi had beco like this, naturally, she wouldn’t keep making food for him.
On his first day back at work, he ended up hungry.
"Should I order food for you now?" Xiaozhu noticed his expression turned cold and felt anxious.
His emotions have been too unstable lately.
"No need, I’ll just go to the cafeteria." Qi Zeyan was genuinely hungry, and couldn’t wait to order food.
When he entered the cafeteria, he noticed Ruan ngxi was having lunch with a group of people, so from the secretarial departnt and so unfamiliar faces.
