Xiao Long was playing with his fingers on the table, and then he glanced at Tao, who was busy with some documents that were about to be handed over to Xiao Long. He seemed to sigh again then looked at Tao with a severe face.

"Didn't that woman run away when you brought her to the company?" asked Xiao Long in the end.

Tao seemed to nod with certainty, and then he shook his head very definitely.

"Young Lady Han is currently completely obedient, Young Mr. Han. She didn't argue at all, got in the car, and got out just as my car pulled up in front of the company. She doesn't talk much either, during the trip all she did was stare at the wedding ring, I don't know what Young Lady is thinking right now."

Xiao Long was silent now, nor did he want to force anyone into this matter. If asked who was at fault, of course, Xiao Long also took part in this matter, because after all, he knows that this marriage is only a contract marriage. Xiao Long believes that this marriage is as sacred as a real marriage between two people even though in the end, they will end on divorce too.

"Alright, we have to finish all the meetings today as well. everything is waiting to be settled, Tao."

"I will take care of everything, Young Mr. Han."

And after that, too, Xiao Long was busy with his work. He attended many meetings and several meetings with his business relations. It doesn't feel like time has passed so quickly until the night has now come so real. Xiao Long and Tao are still busy in the office, and they seem to be preparing some paperwork because tomorrow Xiao Long decides to work from Weijing for the next six months. Of course, it will be a bit of a hassle. But Tao didn't mind at all. How not, the purpose of Xiao Long there is to chase his wife. Even Tao is very supportive of it. Because his other job is to unite Xiao Long and Qiao Xin, even to the point of making them both fall in love with each other.

"Tao, can you check some of the files in the second rightmost row of folders?" asked Xiao Long. Tao immediately rushed to find and then showed the file to Xiao Long.

On the other hand, Qiao Xin was sitting alone in front of the company. How could she not? Mei, who initially promised her to eat hot pot together while drinking wine, didn't even leave because suddenly Mei received a call from her family, who had to make Qiao Xin's best friend immediately go home. After all, her mother was sick. While Qiao Xin could only stupidly wait here, how could it not be so late that Tao hadn't picked her up yet, even though Tao had promised to drop her off and pick her up back home? Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath, and then she hugged her own body. The night sky seemed to grow dim as dark clouds began to cover the moon and stars. Qiao Xin snorted again. How could she stupidly stand in front of the company alone? Even though she should have gone home earlier, the last night bus had already passed a while ago, and now Qiao Xin could only pray to Tao to come soon.

"Qiao Xin, are you still here? Who are you waiting for? I'll take you home."

Qiao Xin looked up, and she saw Xuan Cheng standing right in front of her. Then Qiao Xin glanced at the surrounding streets, making Xuan Cheng smile at Qiao Xin's behavior.

"I myself just met an old friend at a restaurant not far from here and left my car at the office, when I was about to go home I saw you alone here. What are you doing? Are you waiting for someone?" Xuan Cheng asked again.

Qiao Xin seemed to be smiling, and then she scratched the back of her neck, which didn't itch. Shyness and embarrassment were what she was feeling now.

"Oh, I was waiting for Big Brother Tao. You know a few nights ago I had a bit of an unexpected turn of events, so Big Brother Tao was a little possessive of me, forbidding me to go home until he came. So, now I'm waiting for him, Brother Cheng," Qiao Xin replied then.

Xuan Cheng looked at the clock on his wrist, then he took a deep breath, looking at Qiao Xin, who seemed to have started to get cold with the current weather.

"It's already 10:15 pm. The last bus has arrived a few minutes ago, taxis rarely pass here at this hour. are you sure you will wait for Tao? The company is already very quiet, it will be more dangerous for you to be here alone. So, if you don't mind, will you take me home?"

Qiao Xin immediately stared at Xuan Cheng in shock after saying that, and then Qiao Xin seemed to be speechless. There were many things that Qiao Xin was thinking about right now.

Meanwhile, Xuan Cheng desperately wanted to take Qiao Xin away from here. Enjoying the night alone in the car and driving slowly was an enjoyable thing. Then Xuan Cheng was about to take off his coat to give to Qiao Xin, but suddenly Qiao Xin spoke again.

"No need, Brother Cheng. There are still security guards here so I'm not alone. After all, I know Brother Tao's temperament very well, even though he may in your eyes only be the right hand of Mr. Han who was your best friend and subordinate when you were at the Han Corporation, but still, Brother Tao is my older cousin, I can't disobey anything I'm told. Especially recently, Big Brother Tao has been very angry with me."

"But-"

"I'm very grateful for Big Brother Cheng's good intentions, but I really can't. Trust me I'll be fine," Qiao Xin interrupted.

Xuan Cheng couldn't help but respect Qiao Xin's decision because he didn't want Qiao Xin to hate him because he was too pushy.

"Okay, if that's what you want I won't force you. I'll help you contact Xiao Long so he can quickly send Tao to pick you up."

"No need, Brother Cheng. Brother Tao has already come here," Qiao Xin lied. She didn't want to misunderstand again, let alone make Xuan Cheng call Xiao Long at night like this and say she was still waiting for Tao. Those around Xiao Long would think that if Qiao Xin was flirtatious and the middle of the night was still flirting with men, Qiao Xin was sure that Xiao Long would think like that.

Again, Xuan Cheng appeared to be smiling. For some reason, out of all the women he met, only Qiao Xin always kept her distance from him. As if she was reluctant and didn't care about Xuan Cheng, Xuan Cheng became even more curious about Qiao Xin. He wanted to get closer to Qiao Xin and know a lot about the woman.

After that, Xuan Cheng decided to take his car, but he didn't leave there. From across the street, Xuan Cheng stopped his vehicle at one of the cafes there so that Qiao Xin wouldn't suspect him. Yes, Xuan Cheng wanted to see Qiao Xin until Tao picked the woman up. Because Xuan Cheng would never want Qiao Xin to become an easy target for criminals and jocks, how could it not be a wonderful woman alone in the middle of the night? It was very vulnerable, and Xuan Cheng did not want that to happen.

Qiao Xin looked up at the sky as she raised her hand, causing Xuan Cheng to look up at the sky as well. Qiao Xin immediately ran back towards the front entrance of the company because the rain didn't stop. It was so heavy that it made Xuan Cheng's vision blurry, seeing Qiao Xin in the corner of his vision. Xuan Cheng hurriedly sped up and turned his car around to quickly approach Qiao Xin and force her to be driven home, but several vehicles seemed to be blocking his vehicle.

On the other hand, Xiao Long seemed to be frowning, who almost did all his work, and only the last one was left, and then he glanced at his cell phone, which was lighted by an incoming message. Xiao Long opened the letter to find it was from his grandfather, and his eyes were stunned to read the news there. How not, his grandfather asked where Qiao Xin was because last night, Qiao Xin wasn't home yet. Xiao Long immediately took a straight sitting position, and then he looked at Tao, who was now asleep on the sofa hugging his work files.

Xiao Long looked at the clock. It was already 10:10 pm, and it was not a good thing for Qiao Xin to be outside. Xiao Long curses himself and thinks if maybe Qiao Xin is still at the company waiting for Tao's pick up?

Xiao Long tried to call Qiao Xin's number as he rushed out of his work space, he quickly got into the elevator, but Qiao Xin's cell phone was utterly unreachable. This made Xiao Long even more anxious, and he started to think differently about it. After he was at the exit, Xiao Long quickly got into the car and sped away, not to imagine that it was raining so heavily at this time. Xiao Long felt very guilty about Qiao Xin. Xiao Long drove his car so fast through the streets, and the rain was so heavy. When he arrived at Weijing Group, Xiao Long rushed out with an umbrella, and he looked like he was desperate to find out where Qiao Xin was. Xiao Long's steps came to a halt when he saw a woman sitting in front of the company's entrance, hugging herself, looking so cold. With quick steps, Xiao Long approached then let his actions stop right in front of the woman. Yes, that woman was Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin, who had been lowering her face and thinking that Tao would never pick her up and was about to cry, looked stunned to see a pair of dark shoes in the puddle. Qiao Xin looked up with her piercing eyes looking at Xiao Long, who was standing in front of her carrying an umbrella, causing Qiao Xin to smile, and then her tears fell perfectly.
