”Sure.”

Qin Yingxue sensibly said, ”Then you guys go ahead, I have other things to take care of. Goodbye, President Tang, Qingning.”

”Goodbye.”

They watched Qin Yingxue’s figure leaving.

Liu Qingning blinked her bright eyes and gently nudged Tang Song’s shoulder, ”Let’s go, today I’m treating you to something delicious.”

”Haha, let’s go.”

The two went downstairs in perfect harmony.

Tang Song followed Liu Qingning through the alley behind the office building, entering a modest yet lively little restaurant.

The storefront wasn’t large, and the name was ”Rongji Food Workshop.”

The menu was written on the blackboard at the door, featuring authentic Cantonese home-cooked dishes, with the air filled with the aroma of scallions, ginger, garlic, and stir-frying in a hot wok.

According to Liu Qingning, the owner is a retired chef who is particular about ingredients and skilled in cooking. Since the restaurant had just opened and hadn’t done much advertising, it wasn’t crowded yet.

The two sat closely by the window, murmuring to each other for a while.

Finally, they ordered white-cut chicken, steamed eggplant with shrimp paste, and tangerine peel pork ribs.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another, all looking, smelling, and tasting wonderful.

The locust tree outside gently swayed in the autumn breeze, with sunlight slanting in.

The two ate slowly, occasionally feeding each other a bite.

From work to the past, they chatted about the recent product pace of Qingmi AI.

This meal lasted for more than an hour.

After the meal, they took an impromptu city walk down the street.

The autumn climate in Shen City Bay was pleasant, with a light breeze carrying a slightly salty aroma.

Liu Qingning sometimes held his arm, sometimes ran ahead, looking back at him and laughing like a 17 or 18-year-old girl.

...

Since today was Thursday, it was also Qingmi AI’s routine day for version update and launch.

Liu Qingning’s entire day was packed with work arrangements.

Tang Song just happened to want to see her daily work scene, so he followed her back to the 42nd floor.

The general manager’s office wasn’t big, yet it was orderly and neatly organized.

The atmosphere was neat and structured, reflecting her usual clarity and order.

As soon as Liu Qingning sat back at the computer, she immediately switched to ”efficient work mode.”

Tang Song sat beside her, with his long legs crossed, leaning against the back of the chair, quietly watching her type rapidly on the keyboard and approve documents.

Occasionally she looked up to say a few words to him, her lips curling slightly, her eyes sparkling.

Tang Song’s gaze softened involuntarily.

This scene was too familiar.

Back in the Imperial City, Liu Qingning often worked overtime writing code in the rented apartment.

Sometimes, he would sit beside her, watching her work while listening to her explain AI-related knowledge, sitting for hours.

At 5:30 in the evening, the sky outside gradually darkened.

The neon lights in Shen City lit up one by one.

Liu Qingning finally closed the computer, turned to him, and said with a smile in her eyes, ”Alright, class is over, Tang Song. Let’s go change clothes first, tonight I’ll take you out for some food and fun!”

Hearing the nickname she used during high school, Tang Song was startled at first, then laughed, reaching out to gently lift her bangs.

”Hey, don’t mess up my hairstyle!”

”Mwah~” The crisp sound of a kiss echoed throughout the office.

Liu Qingning’s face reddened slightly, she playfully kissed him back, with a glint of pride and cheekiness in her eyes.

...

Yan City, in a high-end restaurant in Huaxin District.

”Alright, that’s all.” Tian Jing handed the menu to the waiter, speaking lazily and even stifled a small yawn.

Opposite her, Qin Hua asked concernedly, ”Did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so tired?”

”Not really, just been a bit busy with work lately, it’s the end of the month, so everything gets concentrated.”

”Yeah, I get it, your HR department must be the busiest at this time.” Qin Hua looked at her friend across the table and remarked, ”You’re really becoming a professional HR.”

Tian Jing chuckled nonchalantly, her eyes resting on her friend’s face, ”Alright, spill it, what did you call me out here for?”

Qin Hua lowered her voice and leaned forward slightly, ”Jing, I need to ask you something. Have you and your boyfriend broken up recently?”

”Huh?” Tian Jing frowned slightly, ”Of course not, our relationship is great, why are you asking?”

She had expected Qin Hua to bring up her cousin Tian Guowen, but didn’t think it would be about Tang Song.

Qin Hua took a deep breath, her tone becoming serious, ”I have a friend, and the girl he knows has been getting really close to your boyfriend lately, and there seems to be something going on between them.”

”So?” Tian Jing blinked, her expression calm, not seeming like someone who just got shocking news.

”Uh...” Qin Hua was stunned, hastily adding, ”This is a big deal! I’ve confirmed it. The ’Tang Song’ he’s talking about is the CTO of Jinxiu Commerce, should be your boyfriend.”

”Oh, I see.” Tian Jing nodded lightly, her tone composed, though there was a hint of depth in her eyes, ”Who is this ’friend’ of yours?”

Qin Hua’s eye twitched, ”You don’t know him, he just happened to know about this and discovered it accidentally.”

”Then why are you telling me this?”

Qin Hua hesitated, biting her lip, ”I wanted to remind you, Jing, this is your first relationship, don’t get tricked. There are plenty of good men out there, why stick to a scumbag?”

Tian Jing’s expression hardened, sitting up straight, ”Hua, I’ll say it again! He’s my boyfriend, and only I can say whether he’s good or not. I know what kind of person he is better than anyone else.”

Qin Hua’s lips trembled, ”But he’s cheating on you behind your back! Shouldn’t you find out the truth?”

”That’s my own business.” Tian Jing’s tone remained calm, ”Also, don’t interfere on my behalf. If you use my name to cause trouble for him, I won’t forgive you.”
