"What the hell, am I seeing this right? The other party agreed? What a wealthy backer they must have..." "I wish I could land a billion-dollar deal too..." "I wonder what kind of task is worth a billion!"
...
Qing Yan opened the system message on her phone, and its complexity surpassed her imagination. There was no way she could crack it within half an hour.
At that moment, Si Yechen finished his phone call and walked in, noticing that she hadn't touched her food and was still looking at her phone. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you busy with work stuff?"
"No," Qing Yan put away her phone and glanced at the numerous dishes in front of her. There were over a dozen of them. "Why did you order so much?"
She hadn't paid attention before, and she didn't expect him to order so many dishes in the blink of an eye.
"Some of them are new dishes, and I wanted you to try them," Si Yechen picked up one of the dishes and put it in her bowl. "Give them a taste, how do they fare?"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Qingmu saw Lord Qing logging out after receiving the payment and was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that the big shot ran away with the money?
Although everyone said Lord Qing was formidable and had a 100% task completion rate, they were just rumors. It was their first time cooperating with Lord Qing!
What if he really ran away...
After thinking it over, Qingmu couldn't help but call their boss.
This was the fourth time today that Si Yechen received a call from him, and he sounded a bit annoyed, "You better have something important to say."
Constantly interrupting his date...
"Lord Chen, that Lord Qing logged out after receiving the payment! I'm worried about him..."
Losing the money was one thing, but the main concern was the system. They had gone to great lengths to get it!
If it got leaked...
Their losses would not be just in the billions!
"He dares to run?" Si Yechen didn't take it seriously at all. As long as he left personal information on the website, finding him would be a piece of cake.
Qingmu hadn't expected Lord Chen to be even calmer than him, and her heart settled slightly.
On the other side...
Gao Yang entered the password and pushed open the door of the villa, revealing a small garden before his eyes.
"Big brother Gao Yang, look, so many roses!" Lu Muyao didn't expect that the flower seeds they casually planted would bloom so many flowers. She was overjoyed.
"Aunt Zhong comes here every day to clean and water..." Gao Yang held her hand as they entered the garden, feeling better as he saw her smiling brightly.
"In the future, someone else will enjoy these flowers with you, my brother..." Lu Muyao touched the roses with emotion, pretending to be a little sad.
"Muyao..."
"It's okay, as long as my big brother Gao Yang is happy, I'll be content!" Lu Muyao pretended to crouch down and smell the fragrance of the roses. She pushed a strand of loose hair behind her ear, closed her eyes, revealing a face of tranquility, and deliberately revealed a glimpse of cleavage.
Under the sunlight, her every move exuded a pure and beautiful aura. After a while, she stood up and said, "Gaoyang, can you fetch a small bottle for me? I want to dig up a plant..."
Gaoyang swallowed hard, his voice becoming heavier, "If you like, you can come here often in the future..."
"No, that won't do. This place will be your home with another girl in the future! It's not appropriate for me to come here," Lu Muyao interrupted, then changed the subject, "Gaoyang, I'm a little thirsty..."
"Follow me." Gaoyang wanted to hold her hand and go inside to get some water, but she hesitated and stopped in her tracks.
"Gaoyang, I think I won't go in... in case, in the future, your other half finds out that I've been here..." Lu Muyao looked uneasy and troubled.
"You are my other half," Gaoyang turned back to look at her, each word spoken deliberately. Without waiting for her response, he pulled her into the living room.
Except for Zhong Auntie coming to clean every day, no one else had visited this home, so they only had mineral water there. Gaoyang took two bottles, handing one to Lu Muyao, and he even unscrewed the cap for her.
Lu Muyao sensed his subtle change and secretly delighted in it. She took a few sips of water and was about to seize the opportunity to tamper with his water when suddenly, his phone rang.
Taking advantage of the moment he went to answer the call, Lu Muyao poured the powder she had brought in advance into his water. She quickly shook it, then sat on the sofa, pretending everything was normal, waiting for him to return.
After a while, Gaoyang finished the call and returned to the room. He drank a few sips of water, completely unaware of the tampering.
Lu Muyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then gently spoke, "Gaoyang, can you take me on one last tour of this place?"
"Sure." Gaoyang held her hand and showed her around the living room, kitchen, and finally, the bedroom.
Looking at the big bed in the bedroom, Lu Muyao couldn't help but murmur, "In the future, you'll be with another girl here..."
She bit her lower lip, pretending to be sad, and shook off his hand as if about to leave...
Gaoyang quickly grabbed her hand, looking into her eyes filled with restrained tears, his last bit of reason about to vanish...
"Muyao..." Gaoyang pinned her against the wall and kissed her passionately, as if losing control.
"Gaoyang, please don't..." Lu Muyao raised her slender neck, pretending to persuade him, "We're already divorced, it's not appropriate..."
"Muyao, we're not divorced..."
"What are you saying?"
"I want to marry you, be with you!" Gaoyang's rationality had vanished, leaving only the last promise, "I will take responsibility for you!"
...
Time passed, and Lu Muyao looked at the sleeping boy beside her, a triumphant smile creeping upon her lips.
If Gao Mu knew about this, she would definitely be furious! Just thinking about that old woman's twisted face fills Lu Muyao with secret satisfaction! Hmph, in the end, it's still Lu Muyao who will have the last laugh!
How dare she incite her son to leave her? Let's see how she deals with that old woman after she steps into the Gao family's house! Lu Muyao leaned against the headboard and told Xu Aiqin about this matter. Xu Aiqin was overjoyed because this meant Gao Yang would have to take responsibility for Yao Yao (Lu Muyao) for the rest of his life. He couldn't escape from it...
This was a great thing!
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to invite relatives and friends to my high-scoring banquet? You can arrange it now. Gao Yang will come."
"That's fantastic!"
...
It wasn't until it was dark that Gao Yang opened his eyes and heard a soft sobbing sound. He looked closely and saw Yao Yao crying! Lu Muyao was leaning against the headboard, hugging the blanket, her eyes red, looking like a pitiful little rabbit.
"Gao Yang, it was my voluntary decision just now... I don't blame you. Now that you're awake, let's forget about this... I, I want to go home..."
She pretended to leave, but Gao Yang hurriedly held her hand, looking at the love marks on her neck and arms...
Gao Yang was stunned.
He didn't know how he could have acted impulsively and done such a despicable thing!
Yao Yao was only eighteen years old...
And he actually...
"I'm sorry, Yao Yao. I was too impulsive." Gao Yang helplessly embraced her, "I promised to take responsibility for you."
