Tang Yueyue sighed regretfully. Although her best friend was indeed very vain and greedy for money, she had a good heart, and she had changed a lot by now. If she could really get together with Gu Yanqing, there would not be so much trouble.

The group entered the restaurant, and the waiter led them to their reserved private room. Koukou had not had a single sip of milk since waking up. Worried that he was hungry, Xu Han asked the waiter to bring him a bowl of steamed egg custard first.

Perhaps Gu Yanqing's presence had opened a VIP channel for them. They had barely finished ordering when a steaming bowl of egg custard was brought over, along with a small spoon.

Koukou was in Gu Yanqing's arms at the time. Xu Han suddenly felt mischievous and pushed the egg custard toward him. "You feed him."

Gu Yanqing: "..."

"Blow on it to cool it down first, or Koukou will get burned."

Gu Yanqing was awkward even holding a child, let alone feeding one. He had definitely saved this first-time privilege for his son.

Now that his son was in his arms, Gu Yanqing picked up the spoon.

Koukou was clearly hungry. The moment he saw a bowl being brought over, he instinctively knew there was something tasty inside. He stared eagerly at the bowl, and when Gu Yanqing scooped up a spoonful, he opened his mouth, which had only two tiny teeth, to receive it.

But then he watched Gu Yanqing bring it to his own mouth. He was instantly so aggrieved that his little mouth pouted and his face scrunched up, looking like he was wronged but refusing to cry.

Gu Yanqing: "..."

He had really only been testing the temperature.

Author's note:

Koukou: Mommy, Daddy stole my food. I'm so wronged, I want to cry.

President Gu: I really was just blowing on it for you!

The male and female leads would not get together that quickly.

Wen Yao (Revised)

Although Xu Han was supposed to be treating everyone to dinner, Gu Yanqing ultimately used answering a call as an excuse to head out early and pay the bill.

So he had merely found an excuse to treat them to a meal.

Xu Han's feelings were a little complicated for a moment.

But then she remembered that Gu Yanqing had eaten at her house three times. It was perfectly normal for him to treat her once. Rich people did not like owing favors, after all. Once she thought about it that way, Xu Han understood and accepted the meal with a clear conscience.

By the time they finished eating, it was already late.

Xu Han had been running around all day and was exhausted. All she wanted was to find a bed and lie down properly. She would be staying at Tang Yueyue's place that night.

A person like Qiao Wanqing, who loved currying favor with the powerful and wealthy, naturally would not have a best friend who could not afford even a bathroom after ten years of hard work. Tang Yueyue was also from a wealthy family. Still single, she had just bought a two-bedroom apartment on installments.

So Xu Han had somewhere to stay when she went over.

They rode back in Gu Yanqing's car. The sickly male lead fell asleep as soon as he got in, and Koukou, full and content, also drifted off. Gu Yanqing put on some soft music, its soothing rhythm flowing slowly from the speakers and creating a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere.

"The drive is a little long. You can rest for a while," Gu Yanqing said after setting up the navigation.

"Oh."

Xu Han answered without much sincerity, but she did not rest. It was not that she doubted Gu Yanqing's character. It was simply that she always had to stay somewhat alert in the car of someone she did not know well.

She watched the night scenery speed past outside. She had been away from this bustling metropolis for over half a year without realizing it. After living somewhere where everything fell silent at night for so long, she was a little unaccustomed to this kind of clamor.

"Where are you going to have fun tomorrow?" Gu Yanqing casually asked when he saw in the rearview mirror that she was not resting.

Xu Han had only come to pack up some things and meet Tang Yueyue. She had not planned to stay long, since things at home could not do without her.

That was why she had booked a flight for the morning after tomorrow.

Xu Han said, "I'm not going anywhere. It's inconvenient with a child."

Gu Yanqing nodded thoughtfully without saying anything.

When they reached Tang Yueyue's building, Xu Han took several jars of dried fruits and vegetables from her backpack and gave them to Gu Yanqing. He had promised to give them to Gu Mingyuan, and she could not go back on her word to the male lead, or she would be farmed as an experience monster.

Xu Han had deliberately brought quite a lot of dried fruits and vegetables this time. Of course, it was not to curry favor with anyone. She had a little scheme in mind.

She wanted Tang Yueyue to bring them to her company and share them with her coworkers, to see whether everyone liked them. Dried fruits and vegetables were also known as essential office snacks. They were nutritious, healthy, and not likely to make people gain weight, so women especially loved them.

If everyone liked them, she could develop in that direction. In the future, she could turn all the surplus vegetables into dried fruits and vegetables to sell, or even, as Tan Yue had said, create her own brand.

Xu Han's plans were simple and beautiful, but Tang Yueyue hit her with a blow. "It's no problem for me to take them for everyone to try. I can even help you promote them, but... do you have permits like a production license and food hygiene license?"

"..." Xu Han had vaguely considered that issue before, but she had been too busy and pushed it to the back of her mind. Only when Tang Yueyue brought it up did she remember.

Xu Han rubbed her forehead. "I completely forgot about that if you hadn't mentioned it."

"This is very important. People might eat food without those two permits, but they won't be willing to pay for it. The dried fruits and vegetables you gave me are genuinely delicious. I think they would definitely sell well if you really put them on the market, so why not look into getting the permits?"

Xu Han nodded. "I'll check the application process later. I just don't know whether they'll approve it for an individual business like mine."

"Don't worry. There are so many individual producers now. All those internet-famous foods can get approved, can't they? But Qingqing, are you really planning to keep going down this path?"

Tang Yueyue had always felt that her best friend going back to farm was just a whim, a passive way of hiding from the world. She had even suspected that Gu Yanqing had threatened her somehow, such as telling her to get out of X City.

But judging from Gu Yanqing's behavior today, it did not seem that way.

Xu Han said, "I think things are pretty good as they are now."
