The three of them looked at him. A trace of nervousness flashed through Shanshan's eyes, but she hid it well and nobody noticed it.

"I once said that I must find Shanshan and then safeguard her well so that she could have a happy life and not worry about basic necessities.

"If I could, I would marry her and take care of her for the rest of my life."

Shen Xinglan did not change his expression. "But now... now I can't."

"Just because of that woman?" Lil Xi said angrily.

"When I said those words before, I didn't know that I would meet A Miao in the future, and I didn't know that someone in this world would really make you love her until you forget yourself. It doesn't matter what you love."

Shen Xinglan said this sentence with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he looked at Shanshan.

"I... I know... Boo-hoo..." Shanshan cried and rushed into his arms. "Elder brother Xinglan, I have always regarded you as my brother. In the future, I will also regard sister A Miao as my sister-in-law, don't worry!"

Le Yi shot Lil Xi a glare. "You hear me? From start to finish, you've been messing around. Now, do you hear me?"

"Shanshan!" Lil Xi pulled Shanshan away from Shen Xinglan. "You look at me and tell me, have you decided to just let it go?"

Shanshan bowed her head and wiped away her tears. Shen Xinglan and Le Yi could not see her face, only Lil Xi could clearly see the sadness in her eyes.

"Lil Xi, we can't make things difficult for brother Xinglan, and you should stop looking for sister A Miao," she smiled and raised her head, "otherwise, I would be embarrassed to stay."

Lil Xi gave her a deep look, then nodded his head. "OK."

"I hope you do what you say." Shen Xinglan turned and walked away. After Lil Xi's uproar, he was afraid that everything he had done in the past two days would be in vain.

Shanshan saw that he was going to the kitchen again and asked, "Brother Xinglan, when are you going to see Sister A Miao? Can I go with you?"

"In a few days," Shen Xinglan replied, turning his head. "She's... not in a good mood right now."

Lil Xi curled his lip, pretending not to understand.

Le Yi smiled. "Wait a few days, we'll have a meal together then."

"Well, okay!"

For the next few days, Shen Xinglan continued to work hard learning to cook, and then made Le Yi take it to A Miao every day while he waited downstairs.

One day, he ran into Ling Lang.

"Thank you for what happened last time." He took the initiative to speak, which surprised Ling Lang a bit. After understanding what he meant, she shook her head.

"A Miao and I are also friends. That's what I should have done." The implication was, this had nothing to do with you.

The two of them had nothing further to say. When Ling Lang left, she turned her head and reminded him about something.

"Mr. Shen, A Miao said a few words to me before. I don't know if you want to hear them."


Shen Xinglan looked at her seriously and said at once, "Please tell me."

That night, Shen Xinglan shut himself in his study, thinking about what Ling Lang had told him during the day.

"A Miao said, 'A rich man giving you one million does not prove how much he loves you. Because for him, what he gives is only what he cares about least.

"'But if a man only has one steamed bun and he gives it to you, it means that he gave you everything he had.

"'A person loves you or doesn't; it's not about what he has or gives you, but that he gave you all he had'."

Shen Xinglan looked at the computer, above which was the 10 tricks that Ouyang gave to him to solicit women. Basically, every one of them was linked with money.

Even the ingredients that he made A Miao's soup with every day were expensive and rare.

"Boss!" Shen I knocked on the door and came in. "Did you want me?"

Shen Xinglan dropped a document on the table. "I will leave the company for a period of time starting tomorrow. This is my power of attorney. You and Shen II will sign documents on my behalf."

"B... Boss?" Shen I's face changed because he was scared. "Could it be that the young lady didn't forgive him and now Boss is thinking of committing suicide?"

"Put away your stupid ideas." Shen Xinglan gave him a quick glance. "Tell everyone that I've gone abroad and you don't know where I went."

Shen I looked terrified. He should have just let Shen II come in...

"Then... then where are you going..."

When A Miao went out for a run this morning, she found that there was one more employee watching the elevator inside. Looking at the figure, it was a man with a cat waist and a dark face that was covered with hair and huge sideburns.

"Are you an employee of the community?" She saw badge hanging on him.

He helped her pressed the elevator button and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, miss. Are you going on a morning run so early?"

"It's eight o'clock, I think I'm getting up late." A Miao asked curiously with a polite smile, "Will you always be staying in the elevator?"

"I have to clean the neighborhood streets after nine o'clock. What can I do for you, miss?"

At that moment, the elevator reached the first floor. A Miao smiled at him and said, "It's all right. I hope you enjoy your job!"

The man behind her looked at her with deep eyes and ran out of the elevator, then touched the beard on his face.

"Miss A Miao! Why didn't I see Mr. Shen come today?" The security guards in the community all knew her, and they also knew that Shen Xinglan seemed to have made A Miao angry recently.

"I don't know." A Miao stopped to think of something and then asked, "Did you take anyone in the elevator to our unit?"

The security guard let out a cry. "Yes, our manager arranged it, as if they were from the same hometown and he had not seen much of the world. If that offends you, let us know!"

"No, no, no!" A Miao said quickly, "I just asked casually. He did a very good job."

After confirming that there was such a staff member, A Miao naturally greeted a man when she returned because he was cleaning the wall at her door.

"Why are you doing this also?" She was a little puzzled because there had been an elderly aunt here before.

He stopped working and looked at her. "A relative of my family used to work here. Now she's back home, so I took her place."

"Oh!" A Miao opened the door, smiled, and went into her home.

As soon as she entered, the elevator dinged and Le Yi came out. When Le Yi saw the man, his face changed. Then he sniggered and laughed aloud.

"Don't make any noise." The man glared at him as he walked into the elevator.

Different from the voice just now, where there was husky feeling, this was clearly a good baritone.

"I say, did you really turn yourself into a dustman?" Le Yi pressed the elevator door and asked with a suppressed smile.

Shen Xinglan touched his beard again. "A Miao didn't recognize me."

"Who could recognize you? I wouldn't have recognized you if I hadn't known you came here wearing a disguise." Le Yi looked at him and continued, "Moreover, who would have thought that the prince charming in the hearts of City S debutantes, the chief executive of the Ji Corp, would look like this?"

When the elevator reached the first floor, Shen Xinglan walked out with a disgruntled face. "Stay away from me."

"Well, I'll go up again. The soup you cooked early this morning hasn't been delivered yet!"

A Miao looked at the steaming matsutake soup and pursed her lips. "Is he down there?"

After such a long time, according to the original words of Shen Xinglan, he should come up to see her.

"No." But Le Yi added, "Something happened to the foreign subsidiaries last night. He flew there overnight."

A Miao took a spoon in her hand, and then quietly continued to eat the soup.

"He didn't call because he was afraid of disturbing your sleep." Le Yi carefully observed A Miao's facial expression and saw that she was disappointed. But instead, he said happily, "I guess that you are very busy these days. If there are any problems with you, you can call him."

Not discovering the smile in Le Yi's eyes, A Miao shook her head and put down the spoon. "I'm fine. Since he's not here, won't you come tomorrow?"

"That's right." Before Le Yi could speak, A Miao continued, "My friend has returned, and I will go spend time with him over the next few days."

After Le Yi went downstairs, he saw Shen Xinglan pretending to sweep the floor at A Miao's window from a distance. He wanted to think and turned to get in the car.

"Is something funny?" Shen I always smiled when he saw him.

Le Yi coughed twice. "Forget it, let's go!"

Jiang Hua came back from watching the news. Originally, he had some things to deal with, but he could not wait any longer.

"I thought you couldn't come back to school!" A Miao met him at the elevator door and said happily, "Fortunately, you are back; otherwise, I would have missed an elective course next semester."

Jiang Hua looked at her with a smile. "It's kind of you, but I'm glad that I'm the reason you went to the elective!"

"Haha, come in!"

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and did not pay attention to the elevator. The elevator operator inside stared at them with a gloomy face. Looking at the door close, Shen Xinglan clenched his fist and took out his phone.

Le Yi was about to go to the hospital when his cell phone rang. He looked at the number and laughed.

"Hey, how's the cleaner doing?"

A sepulchral voice came. "Did you know that Jiang Hua was back?"

"Who?" Le Yi played dumb.

There was a moment of silence from Shen Xinglan's end, then a bang was heard as he hung up the phone.

"Brother Le Yi, what are you smiling about?" Shanshan ran down the stairs and saw him standing at the door smiling, so she asked curiously.

"Nothing." Le Yi looked at her wearing a beautiful skirt and praised her. "Shanshan is really beautiful today!"

Shanshan felt somewhat embarrassed as she said, "Lil Xi and I are going to see a movie. Will you come with us?"

"I have something to do at the hospital. You go and have fun!"

Lil Xi strolled out of the kitchen. "It's not interesting to take him there. He can't eat a lot of things. Let's go! Don't worry about Le Yi."

Shen Xinglan had assigned Lil Xi a car, specifically a Lamborghini. He watched a movie with Shanshan, had lunch again, and finally suggested something.

"Let's go to that woman's house!"

Hearing this, Shanshan's face changed. "No, brother Xinglan will be angry."

"He is not here now." The two of them did not know that going abroad was only Shen Xinglan's cover. The actual man was torturing himself inside the residential area.

Seeing Shanshan hesitate and knowing that she also wanted to go, Lil Xi urged her. "We won't do anything but visit her. You still want to make friends with her!"

"Then... then you can't make her angry again!" Shanshan bit her lip. "Let's go and put in a good word for brother Xinglan so that sister A Miao will come back sooner."

Shen Xinglan was crouching in the stairway, eyeing the door, waiting for Jiang Hua to come out.
