The night is as cool as water.

Qiao Yuze walked out of the club and was blown away by the cold wind in front of him. He reached out and pulled the collar and let out a long breath. His eyes, which were originally a little dispersed, finally became a little clear.

Someone came over and patted his shoulder: "Fourth Young Master, what's up?"

Qiao Yuze showed a social engagement smile: "Of course, I will urge the board of directors to pass this plan as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay!" the other party laughed, "Second Master, you are indeed a cheerful person. To be honest, your second brother has also looked for me before. I hesitated for a long time but refused. Now I think it's fortunate that I refused at that time. It's more reassuring to cooperate with you, the Fourth Master."

"Mr. Xu has won the award." Qiao Yuze smiled humbly and glanced at the parking lot not far away. The driver had just started the car and had not yet driven over.

Mr. Xu couldn't help but talk too much after drinking: "Fourth Young Master, you should really go to Fengqiao's headquarters early. You are smart and flexible, and you are not unstable. You are rare and principled. If I were your father, I would definitely choose you as your heir."

"I'll lend you a good word." Qiao Yuze's smile was still calm, "The car is here, you go back early to rest."

Qiao Yuze watched Mr. Xu and his group leave before getting into his own car.

The driver asked, "Fourth Young Master, where are you going?"

Where to go?

Qiao Yuze was in a trance for a moment, and three words blurted out: "Yuquan Palace."

"Okay." The driver responded and started the car.

Qiao Yuze was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly.

Since he was completely separated from Li Yinian, he has never been to Yuquan Palace again. During this period, he has basically stayed in his own hotel for convenience.

Seeing that the driver had already driven towards Yuquan Palace, he finally gave up on correction.

He rolled down the car window and let the cold air pour in.

In the past few months, he has been busy with work and intrigue with several brothers, and has almost forgotten what life he has lived.

Until the three words Yuquan Palace slid into his mind.

Yes, in the past three years, he and Li Yinian have been together almost all in Yuquan Palace.

Although Li Yinian never admitted it, in Qiao Yuze's opinion, they were lovers in those three years. They were busy with work, especially Li Yinian, who often only needed to come back for one night for ten days and half a month, but as long as she stayed with him, she would cook in person and rush him to wash dishes after dinner.

At night she would lie under him and make a sound that made him unable to stop.

In fact, as long as she doesn't discuss the future, she will cooperate quite well, and he will always have an illusion, as if there is a little undetectable warmth hidden in her seemingly gentle and actually resistant posture.

He once took this illusion seriously, thinking that he was in her heart.

Until reality slapped him hard.

Qiao Yuze closed his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

After the car arrived at Yuquan Palace, he opened his eyes, and the next second, his pupils shrank violently.

The lights in the villa where Li Yinian once lived were actually on.

He almost involuntarily ordered: "Stop."

The driver was unclear, but he stopped the car. Qiao Yuze quickly pushed the door and got out of the car, strode over, and soon he stood at the door of the villa.

His breathing was a little rapid. When his hand was placed on the door, reason suddenly took over his mind.

What exactly is he doing?

Qiao Yuze cursed himself and cursed the corners of his lips, turned around and was about to leave, but the door behind him suddenly opened.

He turned halfway, so the light from the corner of his eyes easily captured a familiar face.

Qiao Yuze's body stiffened for a moment, but he still turned his body firmly back. Facing her, his eyes fell straight on her.

The woman was standing at the door, wearing a home clothes. She was holding a black garbage bag in one hand and holding the door frame in the other. Her face was full of surprise without applying makeup.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, but only heard each other's breathing more and more urgently.

In the end, Li Yinian was the first to wake up. She subconsciously hid the garbage bag behind her, as if she didn't want him to see her unsightly side.

This action made Qiao Yuze suddenly come back to his senses.

He pulled the corner of his mouth: "When did you come back?"

Li Yinian subconsciously replied: "Today."

"When will you leave?" His voice was indifferent.

"……tomorrow."

Qiao Yuze's lips pulled deeper, with a bit of mockery.

Li Yinian couldn't help but look at him.

The man looked a little thinner, his facial features seemed even more distinct, and there was some obscure sarcasm and self-mockery in his eyes. Perhaps it was the self-mockery that made her dare not look at him. After just touching her lightly, she couldn't help but lower her head.

"When I moved out, the house was not cleaned up properly, and it was very messy inside, so I won't invite you in and sit down."

Qiao Yuze really laughed out loud this time.

"Are you driving me away?"

"I don't mean that." Li Yinian's hand on the door tightened slightly, as if he wanted to lock him outside the door.

However, Qiao Yuze still saw a little tension in her expression.

She actually resisted him to this point.

In an instant, the anger and sadness that were pressed down by him emerged uncontrollably. He almost wanted to bite her slightly white lips immediately, punish her hard and even take revenge on her with his own actions.

But Qiao Yuze finally held it back.

He snorted: "What are you afraid of? Worrying that I will force you?"

"...No." Li Yinian spit out these two words with a little difficulty, and the hand holding the garbage bag was already sweating.

She never expected that she would see this man standing in front of her as soon as she opened the door. Shang Tianyi clearly said that he had not returned to Yuquan Palace in the past few months. I hope he would just come back temporarily. It was just a coincidence, not knowing that she was here so she came here...

He won't stay for too long in the former one, so it's hard to say about the latter one. Thinking of the case book in the garbage bag, Li Yinian only felt that his palms were sweating even more.

Qiao Yuze stared at her for a while without any clue, and finally spoke hoarsely: "Don't get me wrong. I just saw the lights on here, and thought there was a thief in it, so I came over and took a look."

This explanation is actually very far-fetched. At least, he was definitely not worried that a thief would come over to take a look after it after entering the house.

But Li Yinian did not expose him, but just nodded slightly: "Well, don't worry."

Seeing that she was still lowering her head, Qiao Yuze's anger and sadness were even more serious.

He sneered and turned and left.

The door behind him closed gently, keeping him out like he did countless times before.

Qiao Yuze returned to the side of the car. Before getting on the car, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the villa not far away.

Something strange suddenly happened in his heart.

When this woman saw him tonight, she seemed a little nervous and scared. She had always been rude to him. When did she really have to be afraid?
