Qiao Xin was stunned to see Xiao Long, even though she was the one who had fed Xiao Long to eat. Still, seeing Xiao Long so voraciously eating the food she ordered even Xiao Long didn't feel uncomfortable when eating alternately with Qiao Xin in Qiao Xin's one hand it seems made Qiao Xin smile. How could it not be, now Qiao Xin knew that Xiao Long wasn't precisely what he looked like or what his mouth said. His heart is good, even though his words always sound spicy and annoying. That's Xiao Long.
After they enjoyed their dinner, they decided to go home. Xiao Long deliberately played hip-hop music that was quite popular. The two of them now seemed to be humming together while continuing to smile very cheerfully. Yes, getting along like friends is very rare, and as for tonight, the two of them are at that stage.
Qiao Xin glanced back at Xiao Long. Should she be a little exposed? What she meant was, should she start to accept Xiao Long's existence as her husband? It doesn't matter if the marriage is a contract marriage that the union could end at any time. However, with Qiao Xin opening her heart, at least Qiao Xin can be friends with Xiao Long. Qiao Xin can live this contract marriage in a relaxed and happy manner without feeling burdened at all. Yes, Qiao Xin will learn like Xiao Long when accepting and making friends with the destiny that God has written for her very clearly.
"Whenever we eat there again, yes, I still want to taste it again," Qiao Xin excited. Xiao Long nodded his head.
"Your first salary, take me there and you have to pay for all my food. How?"
Qiao Xin immediately nodded her head excitedly, and then she raised her thumb. Smiling sweetly at Xiao Long made Xiao Long speechless as he looked at Qiao Xin almost without blinking. Xiao Long didn't expect Qiao Xin to be this cute when she smiled, and Xiao Long immediately looked away. He smiled faintly because of that.

"Qiqi, can you go alone this morning?"
Qiao Xin, who seemed to be having breakfast with her in-laws, immediately turned her head to see Xiao Long sitting at the dining table. Qiao Xin's eyes blinked perfectly. How could she not? Qiao Xin was afraid that Xiao Long would miss his words.
"I mean, we can't go to work together this morning, Qiqi. Because you know, I have some things to take care of, there's an important meeting this morning. So you don't mind if you go alone once?" Xiao Long explained.
Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath, and then she nodded in response to Xiao Long's words.
"Well, I happen to have a lot of work too. Going with you will definitely not be a good thing," added Qiao Xin to clarify Xiao Long's lies.
Xiao Long blinked and then had breakfast quietly, making his parents look at Xiao Long and Qiao Xin with their strange looks.
"This morning you two were not arguing, not romantic, but instead discussing work matters. It's really bad," said Xiao Long's mother.
Qiao Xin and Xiao Long just smiled. How could they not? They could not answer the words of Xiao Long's mother, who did not need that answer.

Arriving at the company, Qiao Xin looked at Mei with a questioning look. How could she not? The reason why Mei had to be sent home was not that her mother was sick. It was just an excuse to get Mei to go home. The real reason is that Mei's family has prepared a match for Mei and hopes that Mei will consider having a relationship with the man.
Qiao Xin never thought that the Mei family would still uphold matchmaking like this, even though Qiao Xin knew that Mei was not much different from her, both of whom came from the village.
"So how was your crazy matchmaking last night? You don't want to tell me, Mei?" Qiao Xin investigated. Mei, who had just entered the skyscraper, snorted, then looked at Qiao Xin with an annoyed expression on her face.
"Even I came right back here after I saw that guy. You know, Qiao Xin, that man is a truly terrifying person. He's shorter than me, and what's even more annoying is that he loves food so much. It's not only his body that thrives, it's because almost every second he has food in his right and left hands. I don't understand at all how my parents chose that man for me, just because they said the man inherited the family business and if I married that man I wouldn't have to work all the way here. Oh my God, I feel like I want to kill myself because of the arrival of that annoying man!"
Qiao Xin seemed to be smiling, and then she burst out laughing because of Mei's story. Qiao Xin had no idea that Mei last night had experienced such a terrible incident, an incident that must have traumatized Mei. How could it not? Mei's dream is not to get a rich man. She wants to have a life partner who is a good and hard worker, and what is more important than that is whose face looks like famous handsome actors, because Mei makes her offspring become beautiful figures is the thing he must do, so that their lives will be more brilliant. Although that mindset seemed to make Qiao Xin think a lot about it, Qiao Xin never really had a problem with Mei's criteria. How could it not be? Qiao Xin knew very well that everyone had their criteria for a partner. They couldn't be the same and had to be forced to all have perfect scores. That was enough for Qiao Xin to accept whatever her best friend decided.
"Uhm, there is Mr. Han, there is Mr. Han!"
Everything was immediately lined up neatly. Even the employees who were already in their respective rooms immediately all came out. The directors now seem to be standing in every existing division.
"This morning you guys don't go into your room just yet, we have to be here to give Mr. Han a small welcome. Because from now until the next six months, Mr. Han will work from Weijing Group. Apart from the problem that has just hit Weijing Group, because Mr. Han doesn't want that problem to happen again."
"What?!" Qiao Xin was shocked.
All the employees immediately looked at Qiao Xin perfectly, of course with their fierce gazes. Mei immediately shut Qiao Xin's mouth, making Qiao Xin speechless as well.
Qiao Xin almost fell. She didn't expect Xiao Long to work here from now on.
How is it now? Surely Qiao Xin would be very confused and unable to do much here. She was feeling watched by Xiao Long directly and in a highly threatening manner.
Qiao Xin seemed to turn her head, right from the direction of the company entrance, Xiao Long seemed to be swaggering. To the admiration of all the women around her, Qiao Xin stepped back while lowering her head until Xiao Long stopped his steps, looked at his employees. The corners of his eyes looked at Qiao Xin, who seemed very uncomfortable. Xiao Long smirked, uncomfortable Qiao Xin was the goal. The more Qiao Xin felt threatened, the more excited Xiao Long would be to keep making Qiao Xin's life a nightmare because of his shadow.
"You guys go back to work, there's no need for a welcoming ceremony like this," Xuan Cheng also gave an announcement making all the employees there decided to disband. Xiao Long walked back, but he immediately looked back and looked at Qiao Xin with a mischievous smile.
Meanwhile, Mei, who felt that Xiao Long looked at her best friend, also looked at her best friend, then Mei looked at her best friend with a unique look of curiosity.
"Is Mr. Han looking at you and smiling at you, Qiao Xin?" asked Mei.
Qiao Xin's face immediately turned red, and she gasped at Mei's sudden question.
"Oh, of course not. How could he smile and look at me. Are you stupid?"
And in the end, Qiao Xin's guts shrunk. She kept cursing herself. Qiao Xin was going to make calculations to Xiao Long for having planned this without telling her
beforehand, or did Xiao Long deliberately not say to her so that he would be surprised by this? Again, Qiao Xin cursed herself. How could she think that Xiao Long was such a sweet person and that even Qiao Xin had fallen for Xiao Long's sweet demeanor these few days? In reality, Xiao Long will still be a demon lord who will never change at all.
"I think you are a little tensed, Qiao Xin. Is there something wrong with you?" asked Mei again with great interest. Qiao Xin was also annoyed with Mei for a long time, how Mei so carefully considered not everything that they did. Or even Mei was already suspicious of her? Because from the first time when Xiao Long came, Mei kept asking her probing questions to perfection.
"Mei," Qiao Xin looked at Mei while glaring at her best friend. "Are you probing me or are you really interested in me? Why are you always spying on my every move lately?" Qiao Xin joked at the end.
Mei nodded then she looked at her friend while pulling an eyebrow. "I know someone that upsets you and what you're hiding you didn't tell me. I also realized and understood what you were hiding because maybe you were confused about telling me. However, I'm already starting to suspect things, Qiao Xin. Just wait if I'm sure, then I'll ask you directly about this."
