Lu Family’s old residence, Song Yinyin is chatting on the phone with Wen Duoduo.

After hearing Song Yinyin talk about what happened in Lu Jinghan’s office during the day, Wen Duoduo stood up for her.

"Whoa, that woman is surely trying to cozy up to someone close to home, huh? Yinyin, you better be careful!"

Song Yinyin was amused by Wen Duoduo’s words.

"Who are you calling cozy grass?"

"None other than President Lu."

In the phone call, Wen Duoduo ranted: "Seriously, in this day and age, that woman still thinks she can rely on pestering to get close to someone else’s husband?"

"It’s not really pestering, but I can sense bias and hostility from her. We’ve only met a few times, so why does she have such strong bias and hostility towards me? I can’t figure it out."

"Well, you might not know this. A man like President Lu is a dream guy in the hearts of many women. You wouldn’t even know how many women daydream about your husband."

"I bet that Secretary Chi has been secretly in love with President Lu for many years, and then suddenly you popped in, of course she’d hold a grudge."

Listening to Wen Duoduo laying it all out, it seemed to make some sense.

"Secretary Chi, secretly in love with my husband... Is it that exaggerated?"

"You shouldn’t underestimate Secretary Chi. After secretly loving your husband for so many years, she’s finally climbed to this position. Who knows how ruthless she might be behind the scenes."

Wen Duoduo spoke vividly.

Song Yinyin smiled and said, "Don’t just talk about me, let’s talk about you. How’s it going with Ning Wan? I haven’t seen her at the Lu Family’s old residence these days, I wonder when her concert is? I was thinking about going to see it."

"She’s moved out and is staying at a hotel."

"Moved out?"

Song Yinyin was quite surprised.

She thought Ning Wan’s arrival would be a threat to Wen Duoduo, but unexpectedly, things went smoothly, and Ning Wan sensibly moved to a hotel.

"Yeah, she moved in for just a couple of days and suddenly moved out. I haven’t seen her these past couple of days."

Wen Duoduo replied, paused again, and said, "Oh right, I remember Jinyan mentioned that Ning Wan’s concert is this weekend."

The two of them chatted for a while, and only then did Song Yinyin hang up the phone.

Beep beep—

The phone screen lit up, displaying a series of messages.

Song Yinyin opened them to see they were sent by Lu Jihan.

[Are you at home?]

It was a concise four words.

Song Yinyin glanced at these four words, her almond eyes blinked—was he coming to make peace?

Two seconds later, she still picked up her phone and lightly tapped out two words: [At home.]

After a while, there were two beep sounds again, Lu Jihan sent another text: [Come out for a moment.]

Go out? Why go out?

Song Yinyin furrowed her brows.

But she had to admit, these few brief messages piqued her curiosity.

She put on a coat, wore her home attire, and slipped on slippers as she headed outside, spotting Lu Jihan sitting in the Rolls-Royce.

He was there, why wasn’t he getting out of the car?

Song Yinyin became even more curious and walked over in her slippers.

Standing by the car door, the window just slid down, and inside was dark, Lu Jihan’s handsome face shrouded in shadow, half-lit.

"What are you doing?" she couldn’t help but ask.

Then she heard a rustling sound, Lu Jihan poked his head out with a bouquet of flowers.

"For you," he said.

Why is he suddenly giving her flowers?
