First floor, banquet hall.

After a few glasses of champagne, Yu Feifei was a bit tipsy: “I… my head is spinning.”

"You have such a poor tolerance for alcohol, and yet you're drinking so much?" Yun Qingxi didn't know that Yu Feifei was an easy drinker. She quickly took the champagne glass from her hand.

"Just a few glasses of champagne, how could I be drunk?" Yu Feifei, like all drunk people, refused to admit she was already intoxicated.

As he spoke, he snatched the cup from Yun Qingxi's hand.

"Give me, this wine here is so good, let me have another cup!"

"No, I'll take you back. You still have to work at the coffee shop tomorrow, and you'll get docked pay if you're late." Yún Qīng Xī said, helping Yu Fěi Fěi up.

Yu Feifei, in high heels, staggered as she walked.

Although she was stubborn, she still listened to Yunqing in the end. Before leaving, she didn't forget to swallow the remaining half of the dessert.

"Miss Yun," Ye strode forward, followed by two bodyguards behind him, "Master ordered us to send you and Miss Yu home and ensure your safety."

"No need, I can take a taxi back myself." Yun Qingxi didn't like to owe anyone favors.

Especially the favor of this icy and cunning man, Ye Ziyu.

"Grandpa specifically instructed us that if you don't agree, things will be very difficult for us." Ye Yiyi's face was filled with embarrassment.

Yún Qíng xī：“……”

At this point, Yu Feifei in her arms was getting heavier and heavier, almost leaning entirely on her. She was already finding it hard to hold her up, so she had no choice but to nod and agree: "Then I'll trouble you."

Night One motioned for the bodyguard behind him to come forward, taking Yu Fei Fei from Yun Qing Xi's hands. He then opened the glass door of the banquet hall for Yun Qing Xi: "Miss Yun, please."

Several people took the luxury elevator down to the underground garage. The Maybach they arrived in was still parked there.

Ye Yi respectfully reached out his hand and opened the car door for Yun Qingxi.

Yun Qingxi and Yu Feifei got into the car. As the car drove out of the underground garage, Yu Feifei kept muttering to herself.

"Xixi, your luck has been too good lately, haven't you stumbled into some romance? I think that Ye Ziyu... er, seems to have a bit of a crush on you. You didn't read any novels, did you? In those stories, the cold and aloof CEOs always fall for girls just like you..."

Yúnqíng covered her mouth before Yú Fèi's second hiccup. "Yú Fèi, you're drunk."

"I don't," Yu Feifei struggled, shaking her head vigorously, "I'm very awake, you see, I can still recite the multiplication table. One times one is one, one times two is two, one times three is three, one times four is four..."

The sky was clear, and even the killing of her heart had left its mark.

The driver in the front seat and Ye had inexplicable expressions on their faces, every single hair on the back of their heads seemed to be saying, they didn't hear, they heard nothing...

After Yunqing's face, which was like a murderous intent, finally turned away from the multiplication table that Yu Feifei had recited under duress, the car finally arrived at their residential area and stopped at the entrance.

The bodyguard helped Yun Qingxi carry Yu Feifei into the elevator and back home. Before leaving, he handed Yun Qingxi two small paper bags: "Oh, by the way, Ms. Yun, these are anniversary souvenirs."

The souvenirs were divided into two parts, obviously both Yunqing Xi and Yu Feifei had a share.

After the bodyguard left, Yun Qingxi opened one of the small paper bags.

Inside was a very delicate silver paper box, tied with a white satin ribbon. Untie the ribbon, open the box, and inside lay a bottle of light blue perfume, a colorless lip balm, a hand cream, and a pink scented candle filled with dried flower petals.

This is simply tailor-made for girls. The sweet scent of the scented candles and their impeccable looks are enough to make any girl swoon.

Yu Feifei was curious and opened up her own share as well.

Two souvenirs, a lip balm and a hand cream, are identical. The difference lies in the perfume and scented candle. Yu Feifei's perfume is light yellow, and the scented candle has a marine fragrance with cute white seashells inside.

"Look, look! Are employees at Xuan Mei this happy?" Yu Fei's eyes were shining. "Do you guys still hire people? You should see me, how do I look?"

"I don't think you're innocent," Yun Qingxi started to settle the score with him as the bodyguard and Ye Yi had already left. "Were you truly drunk in the car, or were you pretending? How could you say such things?"

"What kind of words?" Yu Fei pretended to be confused, with an innocent look on her face, but the flickering in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"Don't think I didn't see that, you were handling the box so carefully just now. Could someone who is drunk be this steady?" Yun Qingxi said with displeasure.

"Don't I care about you? Besides, I didn't say anything wrong. That Ye Ziyu has a special feeling for you. If he just openly said he wanted to pursue you, that would be fine. But he says nothing, and everyone else is gossiping about you. As your best friend, I couldn't bear to see it, so I... I deliberately said those things, wanting to see how Ye Ziyu's driver and assistant reacted."

Yu Fei Fei awkwardly explained.

"So, what was their reaction when you tried it out?" Yun Qingxi was still cross.

"No...no." Yu Feifei shook her head.

The driver and bodyguard were just like Ye Ziyu, as stiff as statues with no expression on their faces.

Yu Fei Fei also knew she had acted rashly, sticking out her tongue to show remorse: "Xixi, I was wrong. I won't do it again…"

Seeing her sincerely apologize and looking pitifully helpless, Yun Qingxi couldn't help but pinch her nose: "If you dare to do it again next time, I won't bring you Ye Zi Rui's autograph."

"What, you have Ye Zi Rui's autograph?" Yu Fei Fei's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"His fiancée, He TanTan, invited me to her place tomorrow. She said Ye ZiRui will be there too. You said Ye ZiRui is very nice and always agrees to sign autographs and take pictures, right? I'll get one for you then." Yun QingXi said.

Yu Feifei swayed her arm: "Xixi, you must make him write it nicely, better to leave an extra line of words, just write 'To my dear fan Xiaofei'…"

"Stop it!" Yun Qingxi's skin crawled with goosebumps. "Do you think his fiancée would kill me if I said this to her face?"

"Well," Yu Feifei then reluctantly stopped talking, "Then just write it directly to Yu Feifei..."

Yún Qíng xi with a face full of "That's good, now" expression: "Okay, go to sleep quickly, it's getting late. You have to work tomorrow, don't you?"

Yu Fei found a job at a cafe. Although the pay wasn't high, her work was easy and relaxed every day, allowing her to live a comfortable life.

"Oh." Yu Feifei nodded obediently, changed into her pajamas, and went to wash up with a towel.

Yun Qingxi put away the gift box on the table and took off the jewelry from her neck, putting it into the box. She planned to go to Xuan Mei tomorrow and return the items to Ye Ziyu.

As for that pink diamond...

She took out a pink diamond from her bag. Up close, the diamond was crystal clear and the pink hue was just right.

Such a large pink diamond is invaluable, and only the Ye family could be so wealthy to give it away as a prize for their employees.

Yun Qing pondered for a moment, this diamond wasn't safe kept at home. An innocent man is suspected if he carries a gem; what if it attracted thieves or robbers? That would be disastrous.

Why not go to the bank and open a safe deposit box, putting the diamonds in there? That way, nothing will ever happen to them.

She put the diamond back in the box, tucked it into her bedside drawer, and planned to go to the bank first tomorrow, then to Xuan Mei to return the jewels to Ye Ziyu, and by the way, warn him not to do things that were easily misunderstood in the future.

After doing all of that, Yunqingxi washed her face slightly and lay down on the bed.

Perhaps it was the alcohol talking, but her dreams were bizarre and surreal. In a hazy state between sleep and wakefulness, she found herself struggling to distinguish between dream and reality...

She saw a swing covered in vines, the sky was a beautiful pale blue, with white clouds floating by. A gentle breeze blew through, carrying a faint scent of flowers.

I was sitting on the swing and having a great time.

Someone was gently pushing me from behind, the face was very young and looked incredibly familiar...
