That night, Lin Yufan and I didn't stay together, but finished drinking. I drove him home in his car.

At his house, the security guard recognized his car and opened the door.

I got out of the car alone, but Lin Yufan held me back!

Lin Yufan and I weren't completely drunk, so we could be considered to be drunk.

Lin Yufan hugged me. Although he couldn't bear to let go, he still patted my shoulder. "Eight o'clock, thank you."

"Go back and rest well." I gave Lin Yufan a hug and let go of his arm. Then, I turned around and walked out by myself.

"Wait for eight o'clock." As he spoke, Lin Yufan picked up his phone to make a call. After a while, his driver came out. Lin Yufan gestured for me to get in.

I knew he was asking the driver to take me home. I nodded and sat in the back.

The driver was already strapping his seat belt in front of him, but Lin Yufan was still holding the door open, and he looked at me for a long time.

"You should go back and rest early." I looked at Lin Yufan and repeated myself.

Lin Yufan nodded his head and said in a serious tone, "Give me eight o'clock!"

After Lin Yufan finished speaking, he closed the door and returned to the courtyard alone.

"Give me eight o'clock!" I sat in the back of the car and thought over and over about what Lin Yufan had said.

Give him time, so I can wait for him. What are you waiting for him for?

I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, mixed with bitterness and heartache, yet also an indescribable happiness that I had been anticipating for a long time.

Yufan, when we parted ways, it was because Gu Yifei had taken the two contracts. One was with the film and television company, and the other was with boss to become third concubine.

I knew in my heart that among these two contracts, the deadliest one that Lin Yufan had made up his mind to leave me was the one he had signed with my boss. Although I knew that nothing had happened between me and my boss, it was hard to say.

Lin Yufan's heart couldn't bear this, so he chose to leave me. He submitted to his mother's arrangements and, numb to the point of numbness, married Gu Yifei to a woman he didn't love.

What did he mean by asking me to give him time?

I thought and thought, trying my best to understand what he meant, and finally came to two conclusions. First, he wanted to digest it in time, to see when he could digest it. Second, he wanted to investigate it thoroughly, find out what had happened, and give me an explanation.

Either way, I think he left me hope.

Because whether he digested it himself or if he had thoroughly investigated my relationship with my boss, it meant that he still wanted to be with me.

Thinking of this, my heart began to race …

Before we arrived, I had already drawn a line, but Lin Yufan's words gave me hope once again.

I love him!

After experiencing so much, after so much time, I realized more and more that the person that I missed and cared about day and night, the one that made me unable to sleep, was Lin Yufan.

Could it be that he, is of the same mind as me?

Arriving at the entrance of the residential complex, due to the late hour, the security guards didn't allow any vehicles to enter. Thus, I sent the driver back. I entered the residential complex alone, somewhat unsteadily.

As I was in a good mood, I felt that the light emitted by the stars was especially bright!

The hope that Lin Yufan brought me was like the starlight in the dark night, but as I lay in bed, tossing and turning, I started to think about my restaurant again.

The restaurant had been closed for business. This time, it was clear that He Jia had colluded with Gu Yifei to bully me. However, there was a notice for the Health Bureau's suspension and rectification at the entrance of the restaurant. The customers who came to eat would soon understand what was going on.

The business at the Cui Xin Xuan Hotel was not light this time, I felt that I could not sit still and wait for death.

The next morning, I went to Mu Qinghua's place and told him what had happened.

"I know the captain of the Health Bureau's Monitoring Team. I'll take you to meet him. Tell him the details, including the conflict between you and He Jia." Mu Qinghua thought for a moment and said seriously.

"Yes." Just the conflict between me and He Jia? "Gu Yifei …" I asked Mu Qinghua, hesitating whether I should tell Gu Yifei as well.

"That... "For the time being, don't say anything. Tell me what's good for you first and listen to what he has to say." Mu Qinghua frowned slightly as he spoke seriously.

Mu Qinghua did things with certainty, and I trusted him greatly. Thus, I nodded my head.

He took me to see Captain Song of the Health Bureau's Supervising Team. I told him about the conflict between me and He Jia in detail, then told him that He Jia came to my restaurant for dinner that day and went to the kitchen to talk to the chef. Only then did I give the other woman time to put laxatives into the pot of secret beef while the chef wasn't paying attention.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Captain Song said, walking two rounds around the room, "It looks like she is deliberately retaliating, but even if she is retaliating and the customers in your restaurant are having trouble eating it, we still have to deal with it. Like this, go to the hospital to appease the customers with diarrhea, I want to talk to He Jia once, and try to remove the seal on your restaurant as soon as possible."

"Yes." I looked at Captain Song and nodded.

"Then... "How long will it take?" Mu Qinghua asked.

"I think I'll need at least two or three days to finish what I need to do first." Captain Song replied.

"Alright then." I nodded and followed Mu Qinghua out of the Health Bureau.

Mu Qinghua walked me to the restaurant's entrance and then drove away.

I wanted to go in through the side door to see if there was anything I needed to clean up. At this moment, I saw Lin Yufan's silver-gray Bentley drive over from a short distance away.

"Yufan …" I looked at the car and was surprised.

Lin Yufan got out of the car and, without a second word, ripped the seal.

"Yufan, you!" This... This was posted by the Department of Health... You can't do this! " I hurried over.

"Hurry up and get the staff back to business. I'll go to the Health Bureau to talk to their director about the matter regarding the seal!" Lin Yufan said resolutely.

"This …" I looked at Lin Yufan, still hesitating. I didn't know what to do.

"What, didn't I make myself clear? Don't you believe me? " Lin Yufan looked at me and frowned slightly.

I looked at Lin Yufan and nodded my head. I took out my phone and first called the chefs, then the waiters. After a while, the employees came to work one by one.

Everyone was busy as usual, while Lin Yufan sat at the side with a calm expression.

"Yufan, this seal has been torn off. Why aren't you going to the Health Bureau yet? What if …" I looked at Lin Yufan, worried that he wouldn't be in a hurry here, in case someone brought a complaint to the Health Bureau.
