One side is money, the other side is friendship.

  Su Ye was about to speak when Lin Youyou quickly covered her mouth and shook her head at Ding Sicong, "Don't listen in on what's said between sisters."

  Ding Sicong looked at Lin Youyou and then at Su Ye, unable to help but burst out laughing, "Well done, it seems I've become an outsider."

  She finally managed to pry open Lin Youyou's hand, glared at her, and was about to say something when the phone beside her rang. Lin Youyou also saw her intention and hastily handed over the phone, "The call is ringing, hurry up and answer it."

  Su Ye was amused by her and pursed her lips, picking up her phone and walking into the kitchen to answer it.

  Ding Sicong collapsed onto the sofa, his tall body sinking in as he asked with a raised eyebrow, "I just walked in and heard you guys talking about marrying or not, who's getting married?"

  "Who doesn't want to get married? You heard wrong." Lin Yiyao giggled and snuggled into his arms.

  Ding Sicong didn't ask much, just smiled faintly and wrapped his arms around her, but his gaze inadvertently fell in the direction of the kitchen. The girl in his arms was fresh and soft, the woman he deeply loved, but why did he always feel a little anxious? He forced himself to focus all his energy on the soft jade in his arms.

  Didn't he fall in love with this girl at first sight?

  I am the dividing line little girl

  In the kitchen, Su Ye had her back against the door, pressing her temples with one hand while listening on her phone.

  It was a call from Toshihiko Sannomiya.

  "Sorry about that, I was in a meeting when you called." His voice sounded magnetic and calm through the processed waves.

  Su Ye raised her wrist to take a glance, and couldn't help but click her tongue. It was already eight o'clock, and he had dragged the meeting on for over five hours. He didn't need to lie to her; she could hear the apology in his tone. Clearing his throat with a hint of joking, "Well, I finally got Mr. Nian's callback. From three this afternoon till now, I've been waiting anxiously."

  A low laugh came from the other end of the phone, "What a pity, it's not me who can make Dr. Su gaze longingly into the distance."

  "You know that's good enough, heaven. You won't not plan to pay the remaining balance, will you?" Su Ye saw him being straightforward and also chose to be frank without hiding anything.

  "I promised it in the first place, so I'll definitely give it." Yan Bojian sounded neither hot nor cold, "Or else tonight then."

  "Tonight?"

  "Are you free? Let's have dinner together." He extended an invitation directly.

  "Uh... dinner?" She thought of Ding Si Cheng and Lin Yao, the three had agreed to have hot pot at home tonight, but what Yan Bo Yi gave her was a wad of cash with the most handsome chairman's face on it. On one hand, there was friendship, on the other, there was money, and she was really torn.

  "Xiao Ye!"

  Behind her, Ding Si Cheng's voice rose. Su Ye turned around and saw Ding Si Cheng walking into the kitchen. He put the bag in his hand on the counter and said with a smile, "The hot pot ingredients you like to eat the most, I specially bought two more boxes."

  "Thank you." She smiled at him and then turned her head to the other end of the phone, "Sorry, I'm not free tonight, I have something else going on."

  "Tomorrow at noon, I'll go to Lianzhong to pick you up."

  "En, xíng." The willow was dark and the flower was bright, another village appeared in front of her eyes, and a scene of banknotes flying all over the sky began to emerge.

  After the call ended, she still had a faint smile on her lips. When she turned back, she found that Ding Shichen was still standing there, his face no longer smiling, looking very serious.

  "What's wrong? You didn't forget to buy XO sauce, did you? Absolutely not." Su Ye was confused and deliberately ignored the intense palpitations that swept across her heart.

  Ding Sicong didn't make a sound, he just pursed his lips and stared at her. Su Ye was made to feel uneasy all over by his gaze, she walked forward, stretched out her hand in front of him and waved it back and forth, "What's with you——"

  Before she could finish speaking, her wrist was caught by him. She paused, looking up at his slightly tense jawline, and her heart skipped a beat. Afraid that Lin might suddenly barge in and misunderstand the situation, she lowered her voice and hastily said, "What's wrong? Let me go first."

  Ding Sicong didn't let go of his plan, and with a strong hand, he pressed her against the wall, lowering his head to stare at her face. His hot breath fell on her, somewhat urgent, "What's your relationship with that Yan Baiyan?"
