After eating, Lou Wenyuan continued to work.

Jiang Rui found a literary masterpiece on the bookshelf. Instead of going back to the sofa, she pulled out the chair opposite the desk and sat down, sharing a table with him.

The night became more and more quiet and the time flowed fast. Unknowingly, the clock by the wall rang eleven.

Lou Wenyuan raised his head from the desk and saw Jiang Rui propping her chin, reading with relish.

“Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“Huh?” Jiang Rui pressed the bright phone and glanced at it. “It’s still early.”

Lou Wenyuan said, “It’s already midnight. Children should go to bed earlier.”

Jiang Rui wrinkled her nose at him, “The old man has to go to bed earlier. Besides, didn’t you sleep by yourself?”

“I have a business to do.” Lou Wenyuan leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Why can’t you always finish your business? Every day I see you either go to work or fly around on business. There are a lot of things to deal with when you come back at night. You are so rich, why are you still working so hard?”

Lou Wenyuan seemed to have heard some joke and smiled lowly: “Who would think that there is too much money?”

“Me.” Jiang Rui said, “I don’t want that much money, just enough for me to buy clothes, shoes, and bags. Isn’t making money just for enjoyment and it’s not for making money to make money?”

“So, you are still a child.” Lou Wenyuan said.

“Don’t keep saying things like this. You say I’m a child every day. You’re not much older than me. You make yourself look like an old man.” Jiang Rui muttered.

Lou Wenyuan smiled again: “Go to sleep.”

“No.” Jiang Rui turned her head, “You will be on a business trip again early tomorrow morning. What’s wrong with staying with me for a while? I won’t bother you.”

She also said that she is not a child, but she is no more than three years old with this petite and willful appearance.

Lou Wenyuan did not speak anymore, shook his head, and followed her.

At about twelve o’clock, Jiang Rui finally yawned, rubbed her eyes, and closed the book. “Um… I’m a little sleepy. Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Lou Wenyuan glanced at the time: “It’s almost time.”

“I’m going to sleep.” Jiang Rui stood up, tucked the book back into the shelf, and said to him: “You also go to bed. Or, you will get up tomorrow and your eyes will be dark.”

“I know.” Lou Wenyuan nodded.

Jiang Rui muttered as she walked out: “He said that he knew, but he definitely must have not taken it to his heart. Saying that I was like a child, he was an old child.”

The arranger behind him did not know the meaning of suppressing her voice, all of them were listened to by the parties. Lou Wenyuan heard the three words of the old child and he was a little bit dumbfounded.

Jiang Rui walked to the door. She did not know what she was thinking of and suddenly came back. Her sleepy eyes just now seemed to have shone into several stars. “Can I send you a message tomorrow? I mean during the day when you go to work.”

As soon as Lou Wenyuan heard about the message, Lou Wenyuan was a little wary. He said cautiously: “I may be busy.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Rui said immediately, “You can reply to me when you are free.”

“I will be busy all day.” Lou Wenyuan said.

Jiang Rui froze for a moment and quickly asked again: “No matter how busy you are, you will always be free when eating, right? Don’t say you are not free!”

Lou Wenyuan, who was about to say that he was not free, was blocked back. Thinking about how he tried to hide from a little girl, he really had a delicate feeling in his heart.

He had no choice but to take a step back and said: “You can send me messages. But it’s best to send them one by one, not a lot at once.”

“Hmm, I remember it.” Jiang Rui responded happily, “By the way, have you saved my number?”

“Well…” He did not save it.

“Hmph, you don’t know about reciprocity. Give me your phone and I’ll save it for you. Wait— If there’s anything in your phone that I can’t let me see, then forget it.”

Her original intention was to say whether there was anything related to business that was inconvenient to show her. But when she said it, he heard something weird in her ears. As if there was something shameful in his phone, especially something shady for her.

Lou Wenyuan thought he was honest in this respect and handed her the phone directly.

His phone doesn’t even have an unlock code and the page is simple, with only a few commonly used programs.

Jiang Rui quickly entered her number and then typed three Chinese characters in the name column.

“Here, I’ll give it back to you. I’m going to bed, good night!” She waved to Lou Wenyuan, leaving at a brisk pace, even humming a song.

The next day, when Jiang Rui woke up, Lou Wenyuan had already left the house. He mentioned yesterday that he was going to fly to South Asia today to negotiate a contract.

Jiang Rui had breakfast and returned to Zhou’s house. Zhou’s father and Su Yue were not there. So, she felt a little bored.

Neither of the previous two worlds gave her this feeling. After all, she still needs to find something to do.

In fact, she is not very keen on a career or anything. Anyway, when Lou Wenyuan’s lifespan is over, she will leave this world.

It’s like playing a game. You know that you are not a character in the game and you have to leave as soon as the game is over. So, why bother to fight it with true feelings?

And her main goal is Lou Wenyuan. If she spends too much time on her own career and ignores him, wouldn’t it be a reversal of priority?

But if she doesn’t do anything, it’s too difficult to pass the time. Lou Wenyuan usually either goes to the company or travels everywhere. With the current relationship between the two, it’s impossible for her to stick to him all the time. She always has to find something to do when she spends most of her time.

If it’s just her, she can easily find something to do, but her current identity is Zhou Qiaoqiao. She doesn’t have any special skills and she doesn’t have the temperament to sit still in the office, so she has to think carefully.

At noon, Su Yue came back. The two were eating together at the dinner table. Jiang Rui suddenly realized that she could ask others for their opinions.

“Aunt Su, I want to find something to do recently, but I don’t have a clue. Help me think about it together.”

Su Yue looked at her in surprise and said in her heart that the sun really came out from the west recently.

Her stepdaughter was originally only focused on Lou Minglang. But she did not know what magical medicine she had taken, but she changed her mind and kicked the scumbag and climbed Lou Wenyuan in one fell swoop. Moreover, she who has always only paid attention to food, drink, and buy, now says that she wants to do something. It is simply strange.

Although in her opinion, apart from having a good family background, Zhou Qiaoqiao has no brains or academic qualifications. So, it can be said that she has no advantages to show. But now that she wants to make progress, she is asking her for help for the first time, so naturally, she can’t throw cold water on her.

She thought about it for a while. Then, she took a closer look at Jiang Rui and suddenly found that this stepdaughter was not without merits. At least, this face was attractive enough. This white and clear skin was enough to make people envious and jealous.

Su Yue looked at her and could not help but touched her cheek, “Qiaoqiao, why didn’t I find out that your skin is so good before?”

“Probably because I haven’t been in the sun much recently.” Jiang Rui said with a smile.

In fact, Su Yue was right that she did not realize it before, because her current skin is nourished by a whole body of spiritual power, so it is naturally much better than before.

No wonder, Su Yue thought. With such external conditions and a good family background, if she was Lou Wenyuan, she would probably be willing to marry her.

Think about how much effort it took to get the life she is now and think about how Zhou Qiaoqiao was born and stood at the end of what she wanted to fight for. Su Yue suddenly felt something uncomfortable in her heart.

However, she quickly adjusted her mentality. For so many years, she has never seen any storms. She has learned to unravel herself. The most important thing in life is to be content and happy. If she is too greedy, one day, she will be swallowed up by greed.

In her mind, she was sifting through the jobs that were easy, not hard, and liked by the little girl. Suddenly remembered what a junior sister said two days ago, she said to Jiang Rui: “Qiaoqiao, it’s better for you to open a beauty blog and teach people how to make-up and dress.”

“Beauty blog?”

“Yeah, aren’t there many beauty bloggers on Weibo? They teach people how to make make-up. After they gain some fame, some brands will ask them to try out and promote products. Many young female stars also do this part-time. However, people do it to make money and fame. Our family doesn’t need that. You can use it as a pastime. Anyway, it’s just putting on make-up. Whenever it feels boring, stop doing it.”

Jiang Rui thought for a while and thought it might be possible. Anyway, she is now more and more fond of some good-looking clothes and accessories, and more and more fond of dressing herself up beautifully. Even though she is a lot older, cough… cough… But there is no rule that a very old lady can’t love beauty.

“Thank you, Aunt Su. I will pay attention to a few bloggers first to see how they operate.”

“What did the family say thank you?” Su Yue was rather flattered.

After lunch, Jiang Rui estimated the time and sent a message to Lou Wenyuan.

When Lou Wenyuan arrived in South Asia, he was meeting with several executives of the subsidiary company and held a brief meeting to discuss the meeting with the partner in the afternoon.

After the end, the group went out of the conference room, ready to have a light meal.

His accompanying assistant followed: “Chairman, there is a call in your phone and there is a message.”

“Whose is it?” Lou Wenyuan asked casually when he took the phone.

“The call is from President Liu Qiye. He invites you to have tea together on the weekend. The message is— uh…” The assistant’s expression was subtle and he hesitated to speak.

Thinking that there was only one person who would send him a message, Lou Wenyuan suddenly had an unpleasant premonition. He turned on his cell phone and found the first item in the message list. The sender was… ‘my dear’.

“Do you miss me today?”

“…” Lou Wenyuan.
