In the afternoon, Cheng Liu left work on time, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.
“He Bai, I sent you a few things. Please prepare them and hand them to me tomorrow afternoon,” Cheng Liu said to He Bai at his desk before leaving.
“Okay,” He Bai replied, watching Cheng Liu’s figure disappear completely before looking down at his email.
Cheng Liu’s new car license plate hasn’t been issued yet, so she was using a temporary one. Coincidentally, Ji Chaozhou had driven her here today, so she didn’t have a car to go back.
She walked to the lobby on the first floor, intending to go outside to hail a taxi.
“President Cheng,” the receptionist called out to Cheng Liu as soon as she came out, “I was just about to call you. There’s a lady looking for you in Lounge C.”
“Me?” Cheng Liu indicated that she understood and walked towards the lounge area.
As soon as she walked over, she saw Yun Se sitting in a wheelchair, with a caregiver standing behind her.
“Aunt Yun, what brings you here?” Cheng Liu stepped forward quickly and asked warmly.
Yun Se: “…”
She hadn’t expected Cheng Liu to be able to call out so fluently and without any difficulty; any normal person would have been stumped.
“I’d like to invite you to dinner,” Yun Se said to Cheng Liu after calming down.
“Okay.” Cheng Liu smiled at the nurse and took the initiative to push Yun Se, “Aunt Yun, where do you want to eat?”
Yun Se: “… Don’t call me Aunt Yun.” It sounded as if they had a very close relationship.
Cheng Liu understood and quickly corrected herself, saying, “Sister Yun.”
Yun Se: “… Just call me Aunt Yun.”
Cheng Liu pushed Yun Se past the front desk, stopped, and said to the receptionist, “This is my aunt, remember her? Next time, just let her go up directly.”
The receptionist immediately nodded, “President Cheng, I’ve got it.”
Yun Se: “…”
The three of them went to the car, where the driver was waiting. She picked up Yun Se and carried her inside.
The caregiver who hadn’t yet had a chance to act: “?”
Yun Se was quite embarrassed. She only came to have a meal with Cheng Liu. Even if she didn’t want to stop Cheng Liu and Chaozhou from being together, she didn’t come to build a good relationship with Cheng Liu.
As a result, Cheng Liu greeted her affectionately as soon as she saw her and even carried her into the car.
Since Yun Se lost the strength to stand up due to her health condition, the only people who have carried her were her caregiver and Ji Chaozhou; even Yun Fei has never carried her.
When Yun Se was lifted up, she didn’t even realize what was happening until Cheng Liu had already squeezed next to her and sat with her in the back seat.
Yun Se felt very uncomfortable throughout the journey because Cheng Liu was sitting next to her and her presence was too strong. She even started chatting with the driver in front of her.
This driver had worked for Yun Se for three years, and she didn’t even know where he was from. But now, Cheng Liu came in and managed to get all the information about the driver’s family.
If the driver hadn’t been driving, Yun Se suspected they would have drunk together and become sworn brothers on the spot.
“Aunt Yun, if you want to have dinner with me next time, just give me a call or send me a WeChat message,” Cheng Liu said, taking out her phone. “Don’t bother making the trip.”
Yun Se remained silent. She had come over on her own initiative only to put Cheng Liu in her place.
Now, she had Cheng Liu’s phone number saved and she’s even added her on WeChat.
Yun Se frowned and opened Cheng Liu’s Moments. She quickly scrolled through them, then remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking Cheng Liu, “Chaozhou can cook?”
“Yes, he’s a great cook,” Cheng Liu affirmed.
Yun Se looked bewildered. “I never knew he could cook.”
“It’s new,” Cheng Liu explained. “I couldn’t learn it well, but he learned how to do it quickly and does it well.”
Yun Se turned to look at Cheng Liu’s expression as she spoke; she seemed very proud.

They arrived at a Western restaurant, which was quiet and not crowded.
“Won’t it interfere with your work if I call you out so abruptly?” Yun Se asked.
“It won’t delay me.” Cheng Liu waved her hand and casually said, “Chaozhou’s aunt is my aunt too.”
Yun Se: “…”
People who could thrive in the business world really did have thick skin.
“How far have you and Chaozhou progressed?” Yun Se suddenly asked.
Cheng Liu had just picked up her glass and taken a sip of lemonade; she choked. She put down the glass, wiped her mouth, and said ambiguously, “Aunt Yun, it’s not easy to talk about such private matters. Anyway… you know what I mean.”
She would never tell anyone that they still maintained an ambiguous relationship, and that they couldn’t even kiss casually!
Yun Se took a deep breath. “Really? You’ve only known each other for less than a month, and things have progressed quite quickly.”
“Feelings have nothing to do with the length of time.” Cheng Liu suddenly looked behind Yun Se. “Aunt Yun, they’ve brought up the dishes. Let’s eat first.”
Yun Se realized that she had underestimated Cheng Liu. She hadn’t achieved any of her original goals and had been led by Cheng Liu the whole time.
“Do you and Chaozhou go out often?” Yun Se couldn’t eat much and quickly put down her knife and fork.
“Occasionally.” Cheng Liu looked up and smiled after finishing sending a message on her phone. “He helps me pick out clothes.”
This was yet another side of Ji Chaozhou that Yun Se was unaware of.
“You’re also the CEO of the company,” Yun Se said calmly. “You should have a dedicated team to manage your image. Don’t make Chaozhou worry about it. Do you expect him to worry about you for the rest of his life?”
“A lifetime is fine too,” Cheng Liu said casually, picking up her phone from the table and glancing at it.
“What?” Yun Se was taken aback, not expecting Cheng Liu to suddenly refute her.
“Chaozhou and I have a good life together.” After replying to the message, Cheng Liu put away her phone and said casually, “Some choices are best left to him. Aunt Yun, please don’t interfere.”
“You…” Yun Se suddenly felt a little deflated for some reason. Cheng Liu was warm and gentle on the surface, but she was actually full of thorns inside. She was really worried about Chaozhou.
The meal was unappetizing, and Cheng Liu even went to the restroom halfway through. In the end, Yun Se asked the caregiver to come and push her away.
Cheng Liu didn’t move.
“Are you going to take a taxi back by yourself?” Yun Se turned around and asked Cheng Liu.
“Just waiting for a moment.” Cheng Liu only got up when she saw the waiter approaching from afar.
“Your takeout food.” The waiter came over carrying two bags of takeout containers.
Cheng Liu took it and then followed Yun Se.
“Aren’t you full?” Yun Se asked her, frowning.
Cheng Liu raised her hand, “Chao Zhou hasn’t eaten dinner yet, these dishes taste pretty good.”
Yun Se was taken aback. Subconsciously, she thought Chaozhou wouldn’t eat dinner and hadn’t even considered having some packed for him.
“He might not eat it,” Yun Se reminded her.
When Chaozhou didn’t want to eat, no one could force him.
Cheng Liu smiled and said, “I already asked him before.”
Yun Se was silent for a moment, then said in surprise, “Really?”
On the way back, Cheng Liu acted as if nothing had happened and was still able to find topics to talk about with Yun Se.
As they approached the villa, Yun Se asked Cheng Liu, “Does Chaozhou know we’re out for dinner?”
Cheng Liu chuckled and said, “He knows I ate out.”
That was, she didn’t tell him that she had invited Cheng Liu to dinner.
“Stop here, you can walk back,” Yun Se said, telling the driver to stop in front of the villa.
Cheng Liu asked her, “Aunt Yun, aren’t you going to check on Chaozhou?”
“I’m a little tired,” Yun Se said, leaning back in her car seat. “You should go.”
