Huo Tingdong lowered his head and leaned in close to Qin Yuezhi, so close that she almost thought he was going to kiss her, but he didn't. He stopped a few centimeters away from her lips.

Breath fell upon her cheek, a low voice rising: "Zizhi, you have no evidence."

Such a gentle and coaxing voice falling into Qin Yuezhi's ears, she didn't feel the slightest bit moved. Firstly, because she always felt he was calling a dog, and secondly, because of the meaning behind those words.

Qin Yuezhi : “…”

This is getting unreasonable, you're just going to be stubborn and unreasonable, aren't you? The key is that you have no shame and are so brazen about it.

Ho Tingdong carefully examined the wound on her tongue, "It's okay, not serious, no need for medicine for now."

Qin Yuezhi rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away, "I accidentally bit myself, not attempted suicide by biting my tongue. How serious could it be? Have you ever seen anyone who accidentally bit their tongue need to apply medicine?"

It's getting late, I should head back. I have to work tomorrow.

The dog seemed to know she was leaving. Just a moment ago, it had been lying at her feet, but now it was starting to gnaw on her pants leg and whimpering.

Ho Tingdong lowered his eyes: "Chirp chirp…"

Qin Yue interrupted him fiercely, "Shut up."

She glared at the dog who was gnawing on her pant leg, struggling: "Ho Tingdong, what are you doing? Don't bite my pants, or else..."

She was about to scare it out loud, but remembering Huo Tingen's words, she changed her tune: “Otherwise, I’ll have your dad pay.”

"If you want to call my name, just do it openly. There's no need to use a dog as an intermediary."

" …This person has such thick skin, even a diamond wouldn't be able to drill through it. She retorted: "So you call it 'Squeak' because you want to call my name but are too afraid to do so openly?"

You're really something else, playing with such flair.

"No, it's because when it first came, it kept squeaking."

"???"

Dogs bark when they are in a strange environment, Qin Yuezhi knew this, but which dog's bark was 'squeak squeak squeak'? This was really outrageous, okay? Even if he said the dog was barking at her, she would still find it more believable.

"Looking at it, it seems reluctant to let you go. Why don't you stay here tonight? I'll send you back to the shop tomorrow?"

Qin Yuezhi suddenly realized, "After going around in such a big circle, wouldn't this be your true purpose?"

Ho Tingdong glanced at her: "As a girlfriend, you're too unqualified."

"What does that even mean?" How did this turn into her being a suitable girlfriend or not?

Could it be that sleeping together is the only way to pass? And Huo Tingdong's voice sounded a little mournful.

"We've been dating for a month now, and we've only met once. We've had three phone calls, but no WeChat or text messages. Do you think, as my girlfriend, you're doing enough?"

Qin Yuezhi nervously pursed her lips: "Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be living together."

Huo Tingdong gave her a 'you're dreaming' look and said, "You sleep in the guest room."

……

The seventh day of the lunar new year, the end of the holiday and the first day back to work.

Chen Xu walked into Bo Jingzhou's office with a stack of files: "Bo General, these are documents that need to be dealt with urgently. At half past ten, there is a high-level meeting, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, we have an appointment with the wedding planning company..."

"A wedding company?" Joe's hand paused mid-signature, he looked up, "Didn't we say we haven't decided on a specific one yet? You can shortlist a few for me first and send them over. I'll make the final decision."

“…” Chen Xu’s face flashed a hint of surprise, “Didn’t we already decide? It’s Dahxi Wedding Events, or do you think it’s not suitable and want to choose another one?”

Chen Xuyi's reminder made Bo Jingzhou suddenly remember. The wedding planning company had been booked before the New Year. He raised his hand to press his temples, looking a little tired: "No need to choose anymore, just this one. Send me their information again."

Chen Xu Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back. "Okay."

He had sent Thin CEO the information about several wedding planning companies a long time ago, but it seemed he had completely forgotten about it.

After leaving the CEO's office, Chen Xu went to the tea room to make coffee and ran into Wang Dafu who was making a protein-packed breakfast smoothie. He said, “Hey, do you feel that something is off about President Bao lately?”

Wang Dafu didn't even raise his head: "Yes."

"You've noticed it too, right? Mr. Bo used to have an incredible memory, he could remember anything once he saw it. A few years ago, even old debts were no problem for him, he could recall them perfectly. But lately, he seems to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease, constantly forgetting things."

He walked over and lowered his voice, "Do you think CEO Bao is getting old? After all, smart people seem to age prematurely."

When it came to gossip, he completely forgot that the two of them had been at odds over a position and were now on bad terms.

Assistant Wang raised her eyelids and glanced at Chen Xu, whose eyes were gleaming. "The most inappropriate thing about President Bo is that he hasn't fired you yet."

Chen Xu was furious: "Wang Dafu, are you trying to challenge me again? I've been putting up with you for a long time. You, a latercomer… Bah! You disrespect your seniors enough, and now you keep thinking about usurping the throne."

Wang Dafu sipped his breakfast leisurely: "Rest assured, you won't have to endure it for much longer."

Chen Xu was pleased: “Are you resigning?”

"No, given your EQ, I estimate you'll be fired by Mr. Bo very soon."

Afternoon.

Bo Jingzhou squeezed in a trip to the hospital, still seeing Doctor Tang.

Doctor Tang: “Memory loss is a normal phenomenon. That medicine was too potent, it caused damage to your nerves. Although this damage can be repaired and eliminated by the body itself and with medication, it takes time…”

She opened a file, “Xiao Xie, you take Mr. Bo for a brain scan.”

The examination room is right next door. Xie Chuyi changed the bedsheets to clean ones and then let Bo Jingzhou lie down: "Mr. Bo, this examination will take a while because of your mental state. It needs to be done while you're asleep for more accurate results."

Bo Jingzhou glanced at his watch, it was almost three o'clock. He frowned: "How long has this been going on?"

He was afraid that Wanwan would worry.

Xie Chuyi also didn't know: "This depends on the inspection results."

Bao Jingzhou stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'll call my wife first."

"Okay."

Bo Jingzhou called Shen Wanci's phone, but she was in a meeting with several other seniors who had been selected to participate in an overseas competition. Her phone was on silent and she didn't receive the call.

Looking at the automatically disconnected call, Bo Jingzhou guessed that she must be busy, so he sent her a text message saying that he would be working late tonight and would be back later.

Put the phone away and back to the examination room, "Let's begin."

Xie Chuyi stuck the electrode pads on him, chatting with him as she worked: "Someone who cares about you even when you're sick must be very beautiful."
