The call to Lun Ying was unsuccessful. The voice prompt indicated, "the other party has turned off their phone!"

Her heart suddenly panicked. At this moment, the bus arrived at a stop.

The bus stopped, Lun Ying did not think twice and got off the bus, quickly hailing a taxi and getting on!

The driver asked, "Miss, where do you need to go?"

Lun Ying bit her lip, "The Land Bureau!"

...

When Lun Ying arrived at the Land Bureau, she didn’t find Li Weihuan, but she ran into Yi Mu!

At the time, Yi Mu was just exiting the Land Bureau with a disappointed look on her face. Lun Ying roughly guessed why Yi Mu had come here!

The two of them looked at each other from afar, Lun Ying slightly bowed her head, turned around, and was prepared to leave when she was stopped by Yi Mu just as she took two steps away!

Lun Ying turned back, watching as Yi Mu slowly walked towards her, she shut her emotional gates and asked, "Miss Yi, is there something you need?"

"Well... I’d like to chat with you, would that be okay?"

Today, Yi Mu was dressed quite beautifully, but her complexion was slightly pale and she was somewhat nervous as she spoke.

In fact, even though Yi Mu was twenty-one years old, in Lun Ying’s eyes, Yi Mu was a sheltered flower who had been spoiled by her parents, never having experienced any hardship, and her thoughts were still very childish!

"I’m sorry, Miss Yi, I don’t have time right now, perhaps another day!"

Lun Ying curtly declined, then turned back to leave!

"Wait! Are you in love with Weihuan?"

Lun Ying paused, hearing Yi Mu continue, "Don’t deny it, a woman’s sixth sense is sharp -- you like Weihuan, right?"

Lun Ying didn’t look back, nor did she respond. But doesn’t silence imply agreement?

Yi Mu felt somewhat panicked. Regarding Lun Ying’s background and her relationship with the Li family and Li Weihuan, she knew it all.

But she felt that things shouldn’t be this simple, at least, Lun Ying wasn’t!

Can a person really retreat for ten years, stay in the same city, and not appear in front of Li Weihuan, unless she has something to hide, why bother?

"Lun Ying, I know that we are not familiar right now, but in the future, I’m sure we will meet many times. I can’t stop you from meeting Weihuan, and I don’t intend to. I just want to tell you that even though you knew him ten years earlier than me, the intensity of my feelings for him is no less than yours. Of course, I know he doesn’t particularly like me, he probably doesn’t hate me! But, I promise you that I will work hard to make him like me and also make him happy. Please trust me!"

Yi Mu blinked her eyes, looking at Lun Ying’s figure, she spoke again, "Lun Ying, I think you are a good girl. I’d really like to be your friend, I hope you can do me a favor and not come in between Weihuan and my relationship, okay?"

Lun Ying stood there, her expression unchanged, and she still did not look back.

"Miss Yi, if you can make Weihuan fall for you, I will definitely wish you well! Also, you are a good girl, but we could not possibly be friends! Goodbye!"

After finishing her sentence, Lun Ying did not pay any attention to Yi Mu behind her. Without any hesitation, she walked away!

...

After leaving the Land Bureau, Lun Ying tried to call Nanxi!

Since Li Weihuan is not around, and Yi Mu came looking for him, this must mean that he didn’t go home!

So where did he go?

If he was with Bai Yuchuan and the others it would be fine, but if not, it would be troublesome!

With an anxious heart, she called Nanxi, hoping that Nanxi’s mobile phone, wouldn’t be switched off!

To her surprise, the call went through. Lun Ying’s face twitched, she almost cried out in relief, "Miss Gu..."

"...Jiajia?"

A deep man’s voice slowly came through.

Lun Ying was taken aback, slightly frowning, "Is this...Weihuan?"

...

The location that Lun Ying arrived at was a barbecue restaurant.

She stood in the hall, looking around to find Nanxi and Li Weihuan seated near the window, chatting away about something.

Sighing in relief, Linying walked towards them.

Seeing Lunying, Nanxi was delighted and hurriedly got up to pull her in, "Linying, sit here, next to me!"

Linying nodded, took the seat next to Nanxi, and looked at Li Weihuan, "What were you guys talking about? You both seemed pretty happy!"

"Oh, we were talking about the times when we all went fishing together..." Nanxi said with a smile, then swiftly changed the topic, "By the way, Linying, Weihuan and Xiaobai are planning to go fishing during the holiday. Do you have any plans for the holiday? If not, you should join us!"

Linying bit her lip, and before Li Weihuan could anticipate a rejection, to his surprise, she nodded her agreement, "Okay!"

"That’s great!" Nanxi exclaimed, clearly delighted.

Li Weihuan, however, paused for a moment, looking up at Linying. Unfazed, she met his gaze and asked, "Did you turn off your phone earlier?"

Li Weihuan’s eyes flickered. When he decided to meet Nanxi, he didn’t really know why he had instinctively turned off his phone.

Probably because he didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone while spending time with Nanxi.

His extravagant desires or moments of youthful innocence, whatever it was, he embraced it.

"Oh, my phone ran out of battery," Li Weihuan explained.

Linying pursed her lips and remained silent. She then heard Li Weihuan say, "Nanxi and I have already ordered some dishes, but there’s a menu here if you want to order something specific. It’s not too late to add anything."

Linying shook her head, "No need, I’m not picky."

...

By the time they finished dinner, it was seven-thirty in the evening. Nanxi promptly left the barbecue restaurant after receiving a call from Xia Zhen, as Uncle Zhang was waiting for her.

Nanxi bid farewell to Linying and Li Weihuan. Li Weihuan said, "I’ll hold on to your fishing gear for now, and bring it with me when we go."

Nanxi nodded, "Alright."

She wanted to say "Thank you," but that felt too formal, which is not something Li Weihuan appreciated.

Uncle Zhang offered to give Li Weihuan a ride, but Li Weihuan declined.

Having seen Li Weihuan grow up, Uncle Zhang sighed, "Young Master, don’t stay out too late. Get some rest. You still have work tomorrow."

"I got it, Uncle Zhang. Don’t worry, I’ll take a cab home as soon as I drop off Jiajia."

"Alright," Uncle Zhang sighed in relief. He and Nanxi got in the car, which then promptly departed.

Li Weihuan and Linying stood there, watching Uncle Zhang’s car recede into the distance, both of them sighing inwardly.

...

Li Weihuan pursed his lips, turned towards Linying and said, "Let’s go, I’ll walk you home."

Li Weihuan hailed a taxi. Linying got in first due to her fishing gear making it cumbersome, so Li Weihuan joined her in the backseat instead of the passenger seat.

The driver started the car.

A news broadcast was playing inside the taxi. It was reporting on the KING Group and Lu Yinchu.

Mainly, it was about Lu Yinchu making an overnight trip to Macau for a secret meeting with the CEO of a Shanghai company...

Li Weihuan had heard that Lu Yinchu was on a business trip, but he didn’t know he had gone to Macau.

In the broadcast, the newsreader stated, "Undoubtedly, under the leadership of Mr. Lu, KING Group will once again create a business miracle!"

His lips tightened, Li Weihuan’s gaze drifted out the window, lost in complex thoughts.

...

"Yi Mu is looking for you!"

All of a sudden, Linying, seated next to him, spoke up in a soft voice.

Li Weihuan looked at her, startled. Linying told him, "I ran into her by chance earlier. She couldn’t find you and seemed very worried. So, when you charge your phone, you better give her a call to let her know."

Li Weihuan’s brow furrowed, remaining silent for a while before finally responding, "Alright."
