However, Jin Yue said that she wanted to hand it over to him personally. So, the matter was delayed until her mentor asked about it. Jin Yue then took the opportunity to go to the overseas research institute with Cheng Lang. She wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

However, during the meeting earlier, Cheng Lang was quietly listening while replying to emails. Was it an email from the company? She inexplicably thought of the face that flashed across the camera when she had a video call with Cheng Lang last time. Jin Yue had never been worried that Cheng Lang would be stolen. From the moment they each stood out in their respective fields, they had been treated as a couple by the two families. The reason why she worked so hard was because of Cheng Lang. She wanted to become a woman who could stand by his side. She had been secretly eliminating those women back in China who overestimated themselves and wanted to seduce Cheng Lang. How could those women—who only knew how to rely on men—be worthy of Cheng Lang?

Jin Yue heard the vibration of Cheng Lang’s cell phone and saw him pause in his typing before picking up his cell phone. Cheng Lang rarely used his cell phone. Other than making calls, cell phones were just paper weights to him. However, Jin Yue could clearly see that Cheng Lang was deep in thought as if he was thinking about how to reply to the other party. Jin Yue felt a little uneasy and could not help but ask, “Is it about work? I thought you don’t like to use your cell phone to deal with business?”

Cheng Lang finally raised his head and looked at Jin Yue. This was the first time he had made eye contact with her after sitting here for so long tonight. However, Jin Yue did not find anything amiss, as this was in line with his personality.

“It’s private.” Cheng Lang lowered his head and replied to Xing Shu: “Will try to return as soon as possible.” After sending the message, he put down his phone and continued to look at the information. His cell phone rang again. It was from Xing Shu: “I’ve added you on WeChat. Accept it.”

Cheng Lang did not use WeChat at all. He had registered in the past, but

WeChat business cards were overwhelming; too many people were adding him. He found it annoying and uninstalled it. He frowned and hesitated for a moment, before downloading WeChat again. When Jin Yue saw Cheng Lang’s behavior, her expression changed. Was Cheng Lang chatting with someone?

Biting her lip, Jin Yue pushed the coffee over. “Cheng Lang, my senior wants to meet you to discuss the investment.” She slowly clenched her fists by her side and took out her phone. “Are you finally going to download WeChat? My brother and the others have been complaining for a long time. They said that the only way to contact you is through the most archaic method of phone call. Why did you suddenly decide to download WeChat? In that case, let’s add each other as friends. I want to be your first friend.”

“Jin Yue.” Cheng Lang lowered his head down as he logged into his WeChat account. “I’m not used to using this, so there’s no need to add me as a friend.” His tone was indifferent. As soon as he logged in, he saw Xing Shu’s friend request. At the same time, there were a large number of pending friend requests as well—including Nie Heng and Jin Mo’s friend requests—but he ignored them. He directly skipped through these and found Xing Shu’s friend request. He clicked “Accept”.

Xing Shu did not expect Cheng Lang to agree so quickly. She wanted to chat a little more, but seeing that it was very late, she sent a message on WeChat:

“Goodnight.”

Cheng Lang did not reply. Instead, he looked at Xing Shu’s profile picture, which was a white snowflake. Jin Yue had been peeking from the side. Who was this profile picture? She thought about it for a long time; thought of all the women in the Beijing social circle. But she came up with nothing.

Cheng Lang placed his cell phone on the table, and the Buddhist bracelet on his wrist knocked against the table, making a slight sound. The sound made Jin Yue’s heart soften. She cleared her throat and said, “Are we going to see my senior now? He’s only been working on this software for less than half a year, but there are already companies that estimate it to be worth a billion US dollars. There are also several companies that are liaising with him…”

Cheng Lang replied, “Jin Yue, I have my own plans.”

Jin Yue melted every time she heard Cheng Lang call her name. She liked Cheng Lang too much and had liked him since she was young. Hence, nobody could stop her from marrying him. If other women dared to covet Cheng Lang, she would definitely make them wish they were never born.

Jin Yue said, “Cheng Lang, if you’ve got nothing else today, do you want to take a tour of my research institute?”

Cheng Lang replied, “No need. I’ll be returning in two hours.”

Jin Yue’s face fell. Didn’t he say that he would stay here for half a month? She suddenly thought of the WeChat profile picture. Perhaps Cheng Lang’s change of heart had something to do with that person. Was the owner of the profile picture a man or a woman?Whether it was a man or a woman, it was enough to drive her green with envy..
