In the mansion, the intermittent discussions became quieter and quieter. Rong Yuchi took You Tong directly to his car. This time, he let her sit in the passenger seat.
After starting the engine, the car slid out like an arrow. In the moonlight, the low-key and luxurious black car moved forward steadily, like a black dragon or an arrogant goshawk, shuttling among the rows of high-rise buildings in Taipei City, slowly
Heading to her residence
Downstairs in the community, the street lights are dim
You Tong kept her head down from beginning to end, saying nothing. The smell of red wine on her body was still so pungent that it made her want to take a shower immediately to wash away the smell of alcohol and the smell of humiliation.
The cold wind blew, making her shiver subconsciously
Rong Yuchi stretched out his hand to help her tighten her coat. His big hand accidentally touched her chest. You Tong suddenly trembled. The humiliation of being half-drenched in front of everyone surged up again, and tears filled her eyes again.
Rong Yuchi noticed that something was wrong with her, and the movement of his hand paused slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly let go of his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'll send you up."
"No, I can do it myself," You Tong said stubbornly, gritting his teeth and taking off his coat and giving it back to him, "Although you helped me, I won't say thank you to you."
Rong Yuchi knew that she was still concerned about what happened by the fountain pool.
His eyes darkened, and he slowly took back the coat from her hands. After she returned the clothes to him, she turned around and left, so decisively.
She ran towards the stairs, taking three steps and two steps at a time, as if she was escaping.
No woman would be so embarrassed in front of him, but he felt that deep inside this woman seemed to be even more arrogant than a princess.
On the third floor, You Tong eagerly took out the key and opened the door with trembling hands. As soon as the person entered the house, he immediately closed the door with his back, then leaned his back against the door panel and slowly squatted down, tears overflowing into his eyes.

The next day, it was already noon, and You Tong was still asleep.
Suddenly, the mobile phone placed on the bedside table rang loudly. She opened her eyes and found that she was dizzy and felt very hot, as if she had a fever.
The phone continued to ring. She struggled to get up, grabbed the phone and answered the call without even looking at it, "Hello?!"
"Xiaotong..." On the other end of the phone was Zhao Wanhua's always gentle voice.
You Tong suddenly woke up, rubbed his temples and sat up, adjusting his hoarse voice, "Mom..."
"Xiaotong, you don't have to go to work today, Saturday. Can we come out and meet? It's 12 o'clock and we'll be at the same place as last time."
You Tong vaguely knew that it was because of what happened last night, "Okay, Mom, see you later."
Half an hour later, You Tong endured the dizziness and went out.
When they met, Zhao Wanhua asked directly and worriedly, "Xiaotong, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Rong Yuchi?!"
You Tong was slightly startled, "It doesn't matter, it's just the relationship between boss and subordinate."
"real?!"
"Um"
Zhao Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief and said cryptically, "Xiaotong, mom knows that you are old enough to fall in love, but some people are not allowed to reach high places. Do you understand?!"
You Tong nodded, "I understand."
She has always understood and understood the difference in status. She is not even one percent as good as Li Jiaqi, let alone Rong Yuchi!
Zhao Wanhua gave some more instructions, and suddenly there were footsteps at the door of the box, and then a gentle knock on the door. The door of the box opened slowly, and it was Li Yuanhang.
You Tong was surprised, why is he here?!
"Aunt Wan, I'm here to pick you up. The driver has sent the car for maintenance." He said to Zhao Wanhua politely.
"Yes." Zhao Wanhua nodded, picked up her bag and stood up, "I'll go to the bathroom first."
You Tong also stood up and wanted to follow, but unexpectedly Li Yuanhang blocked her slightly. In just a moment, You Tong suddenly understood that he came to see her specially.
After Zhao Wanhua left, they were the only two people left in the box. You Tong asked directly, "Master Li, do you have a problem with me?!"
The coldness and rejection in her tone made Li Yuanhang frown slightly. Seeing her bad expression, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry about last night. I apologize to you for Jia Qi."
You Tong shook his head, "It's not necessary."
Li Yuanhang pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but not angry. He was silent, slightly hesitant, but still asked, "What is your relationship with Rong Yuchi?!"
This is his real purpose today
You Tong suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Her mother asked her this question, and she could answer it honestly, but why did Li Yuanhang ask? And he sounded as if he and Rong Yuchi had some ulterior relationship. This feeling was no better than last night
How much better was the humiliation Li Jiaqi gave her!
She bit her lip and pretended to be calm and said, "I am his secretary."
"It's just a secretary?!" He seemed a little unconvinced.
"I am also responsible for some financial work. To put it nicely, I am an assistant, and to put it worse, I am a handyman. Are you satisfied with this answer, Master Li?!"
After saying that, she raised her chin slightly and stared at him fearlessly
Li Yuanhang sighed slightly, not wanting to argue with her, but said with emotion, "You Tong, don't be so stubborn, okay?!"
You Tong secretly clenched her fists. She didn't want to be so stubborn, but if she wasn't strong, who would show her weakness?!
"Master Li, my personality is like this and cannot be changed. If you don't like it, we don't have to meet each other in the future."
"You Tong, do you have to make the relationship with the Li family so tense? Aunt Wan will be unhappy if you do this!"
You Tong smiled lightly, "I have never had anything to do with the Li family, so there is no such thing as being deadlocked or not."
Li Yuanhang suddenly felt depressed, with a trace of unspeakable pain in his eyes, and his voice suddenly dropped, "You still mind what happened back then, right?!"
You Tong's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes tightened, "What happened back then? I'm sorry, I forgot."
Forgetting a word is easy to say, but she knows that some things will never be forgotten in her life.
Turning to look out the window, the memory returns to that wind-blown summer
