Du Liqing walked back into his room and lightly closed the door behind him. He didn't notice Lu Juyan opening the door beside him and watching his return. He walked into the kitchen and washed his hands as usual. Then, he cooked for her.

"Yuan Wei, I'm fine now." Du Liqing put down the bag in his hands and tiredly sat on the bed, propping himself up with one foot. He had just called Yuan Wei when he received a call. Hearing the other party's breathing, his heart was filled with gratitude as he opened his mouth to speak.

It wasn't that there wasn't any awkwardness between the two, but it didn't bring much pain to the scene where Du Qing and Qu Yan were arguing with one another. Therefore, there was no need for him to thank Du Liqing for too long, nor was there a need for him to be overly complicated. Although simple words didn't mean anything, they were just enough to calm the worried man.

"It's good that you're fine. Speaking of which, where have you been all this time?" Yuan Wei had an obligation to inquire about the whereabouts of Du Liqing. Although he was worried about him, it was not because he was worried about his lover. Actually, he was secretly worried about Du Liqing's situation these few days due to the matter of him and Qu Yan's research. Hence, he had no choice but to nervously inquire about it.

Du Liqing's state of mind froze and he didn't know what to say at that moment. However, he faintly felt that he should not tell her about the kidnapping. Thus, he began to perfunctorily say a few words and from time to time, smile.

The two conversed for a bit or two, and Lu Juyan, who was in the kitchen, just happened to have prepared a meal. He knocked on the door and pushed it open. He noticed the man's voice on the phone. Although he was slightly unhappy in his heart, he still had a cold expression on his face. He indifferently said, "It's time to eat."

Thus, Du Liqing and Yuan Wei hung up the phone after exchanging a few words. He propped himself up on his elbow and sat up on the bed. When he glanced at the door, he discovered that Lu Juyan had long since left.

She leisurely walked out and washed her hands at the tap. She walked to the small dining table and looked at the rich delicacies. She pursed her lips and her stomach beat at the perfect time. She glanced at Lu Juyan, revealing a faint smile but receiving no response.

During their meal, the two of them maintained a silent posture without saying anything. Finally, Du Ruqing finished washing once more, while Lu Juyan turned around to return to her room. Not a single word from her made Du Ruqing feel weird, so she couldn't help but mutter softly, "What happened today?"

At the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Wei hung up the conversation with Du Liqing. He had a feeling that something was off. He wanted to discuss it further, but found that he couldn't get a clear answer through the phone. He slightly frowned, pursed his lips, and secretly decided to go to Du Liqing's company tomorrow.

Qu family, Qu Yan Yan was lying on the bed, her mind was filled with the words Du Ruqing had used to report her safety. He turned over and covered his head with the blanket, but his mind was still in a state of confusion. She did not know when she fell asleep, but she dreamt of the scene where the three of them got together. The corner of her mouth formed a smile.

The scene changed and it happened that on the day Qu Yan and Qu Yan were conversing, she noticed that Lu Juyan seemed to be looking for something upstairs. She had a faint feeling that the person who leaked the news was not Du Liqing.

All of a sudden, Qu Yan opened her eyes, only to discover that her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He frowned, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He unconsciously had the impulse to ask Du Liqing about it.

"Hello, I would like to see your Director Du." Yuan Wei once again went downstairs to Du Liqing's company. As always, he looked at the young lady at the reception desk. Even though he had tried to obstruct her, he still maintained his gentleman manner.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go inform the others right away." The receptionist looked at Yuan Wei as she left a deep impression on him. A few days ago, seeing the relationship between him and Du Liqing, he knew that their relationship wasn't bad and naturally couldn't offend them.

She picked up the landline phone and called Du Liqing's secretary, asking him to come into the office and report to her. He glanced at Yuan Wei and smiled apologetically at him to ease his embarrassment.

"Director Du said she'll be right down." When the secretary agreed, the front desk girl carried out the words she knew and invited Yuan Wei to sit on the sofa not far away.

"Yuan Wei?" Without much thought, Qu Yan walked down to Lu Juyan's office without hesitation. Just as he was about to take a few steps up, he saw a familiar back figure talking to the receptionist. He slowly walked up and called out to her.

Yuan Wei, who had been called out by name, turned his head to look at Qu Yan Shi. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes as he nodded at her. Looking at her extremely obedient appearance as she walked over, he faintly felt that the gap between the two wasn't that large.

After being interrupted, the front desk girl avoided the awkwardness and quietly pushed open the door. She returned to her seat and intentionally got someone to help prepare some tea for them.

"You came together? It just so happens that there's something I want to clarify. I didn't take the picture before, and I got the exact same one before. "

Du Ruqing looked at the two of them staring at each other, and the corner of her lips curled up into a smile. Walking forward, he gave a light cough, and at the same time, he interrupted the confrontation between the two. Before the two of them could express their intentions, Du Liqing naturally opened his mouth to explain so as to avoid destroying their relationship in front of everyone.

Pulling back her gaze, Qu Yan Shi felt her scalp tingle slightly. She pursed her lips and pretended to be calm as she met Du Yun's clear eyes. However, for some reason, she was unable to believe it.

"I don't believe it!" His mind buzzed with the relationship between Du Lianqing and Yuan Wei. He didn't know if it was because they were being petty or because they were unwilling to do something weird, but Qu Yan was starting to feel that these things needed more evidence.

"Then I will use my childhood friendship to guarantee that I didn't lie to you!" Du Ruqing swore with one hand, and spoke with a righteous tone. A resolute look appeared in his eyes as he stared intently at Qu Yan Shi.

There was a god in the top three feet, and this made Qu Yan unable to find a reason not to believe. Facing Du Ruqing's clear and honest expression, he faintly felt that she was a little too narrow-minded. She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

She turned her head to look at Yuan Wei, who was standing behind her. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her unreasonable behavior and her guilt filled her heart. Lowering his head, he walked in front of Yuan Wei and said carefully, "Sorry, I caused you trouble."

At this moment, Qu Yan Shi's heart was beating wildly. She didn't know why, but she didn't dare to meet Yuan Wei's gaze. Suddenly, she felt that this moment didn't seem like her, but she had no choice but to admit her love for Yuan Wei.
