I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

The lights in the restaurant are still soft, but the night outside is gradually deepening, and the lights outside the window are flickering slightly.

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at her watch and realized that it was late. She said softly: "Chen Hao, it's getting late. We should go."

Chen Hao nodded in agreement, and the two stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant. Chen Hao politely pulled out the chair for Jiang Yuzhu, and Jiang Yuzhu stood up with a smile.

Jiang Yuzhu walked out of the door of the restaurant, and the breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness. She stood at the door, hesitantly thinking about how to go home.

Chen Hao followed closely. He noticed Jiang Yuzhu's hesitation and said softly: "Yuzhu, it's already very late at night. Let me take you home."

Jiang Yuzhu turned around and was slightly startled, then a polite smile appeared on his face.

She replied softly: "Then I'll trouble you, Chen Hao."

A trace of joy flashed in Chen Hao's eyes. He walked briskly to the parking lot and led Jiang Yuzhu to his vehicle.

The moment Chen Hao led Jiang Yuzhu to the parking lot, a black luxury car slowly stopped at the door of the restaurant.

The car door opened and a figure stepped out, it was Pei Jingchuan.

The moment Jiang Yuzhu saw Pei Jingchuan, there was obvious surprise on his face. She didn't expect Pei Jingchuan to appear here.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes were calm. He walked directly towards Jiang Yuzhu and Chen Hao, looking calm and confident in every step.

Chen Hao's expression turned gloomy involuntarily. He stared at Pei Jingchuan closely, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Pei Jingchuan approached. His steps were steady and his eyes were direct, giving him an aura that could not be ignored.

His eyes first fell on Jiang Yuzhu, and then turned to Chen Hao with a sense of inquiry.

Chen Hao gritted his teeth tightly, feeling a sense of competition in his heart. He straightened his body slightly and looked more confident.

Pei Jingchuan leaned slightly and said softly to Jiang Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, I'm here to take you home." His voice was gentle, but at the same time it also revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Jiang Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Hao, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

She turned to Pei Jingchuan and replied softly: "Okay, Jingchuan."

Pei Jingchuan gently hugged Jiang Yuzhu's shoulders. His movements were natural and full of affection, as if he was declaring his protection to the world around him.

When Chen Hao saw this scene, his face changed slightly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

He stood there, watching Jiang Yuzhu being taken away by Pei Jingchuan, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

Pei Jingchuan led Jiang Yuzhu to his vehicle. He opened the door for her carefully, and Jiang Yuzhu sat elegantly in the car.

She turned her head and cast an apologetic look at Chen Hao through the car window that was about to close.

"Chen Hao, thank you tonight, I..." Before Jiang Yuzhu could finish her words, Pei Jingchuan gently pressed the window control button, and the window slowly rose, cutting off the space between her and Chen Hao.

Chen Hao stood outside, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

Pei Jingchuan sat in the driver's seat and glanced at Jiang Yuzhu slightly. There was a hint of a dark smile in his eyes.

Then the car drove smoothly away from the door of the restaurant, leaving Chen Hao standing there alone, watching the back of the car gradually disappear into the night.

Chen Hao's expression was full of complex emotions, a trace of loss, a trace of unwillingness, and unspeakable depression.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

There was a kind of helplessness in his eyes, and he sighed softly, feeling as if he had lost something in an instant.

He knew that there was always an invisible boundary between him and Jiang Yuzhu.

Just then, his cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the night.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw that the caller ID showed the name of the employee in the laboratory. He frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and Chen Hao answered the call.

The voice of a Chifeng laboratory staff member came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of urgency: "Dr. Chen, we have some urgent experiments that require your guidance. When can you come back?"

Chen Hao's expression became more serious, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his voice: "I know, I keep everything in the laboratory in mind. I will go back in a few days."

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little anxious: "Okay, Dr. Chen, our research progress here has been affected, and your guidance is very important to us."

Chen Hao nodded gently. Although he couldn't see it on the other end of the phone, his tone revealed firmness: "I understand, and I will arrange to go back as soon as possible. You go as planned first, and if you have any questions, contact me at any time."

After the call ended, Chen Hao slowly put the phone back into his pocket, and his eyes once again fell in the direction where Pei Jingchuan's vehicle left just now.

He stood at the door of the restaurant, the night breeze blowing gently, but it could not dissipate the loss and mixed emotions in his heart.

Chen Hao's eyes were full of deep thinking, as if he was reminiscing every moment during the dinner.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. However, the loss in my heart still lingers with me.

Chen Hao turned around slowly and walked towards his vehicle with a heavy step.

He opened the door and got into the driver's seat, but did not start the vehicle immediately. He sat there quietly, looking forward, seeming to be thinking about something.

Finally, he sighed softly, as if he was releasing the burden in his heart. He held the steering wheel tightly, started the vehicle, and slowly drove away from the restaurant.

At this time, the atmosphere in the car was slightly silent. Jiang Yuzhu was sitting in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing at Pei Jingchuan, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Finally, she couldn't help but said softly: "Jingchuan, your performance today is really petty, so you have to be jealous."

Pei Jingchuan drove the vehicle with his eyes always focused on the road ahead. His expression was calm, as if he had not heard Jiang Yuzhu's words.

Although the atmosphere in the car was calm, Jiang Yuzhu's words did not seem to break the tranquility.

Pei Jingchuan maintained his usual calmness and his eyes were still focused on the road ahead.

After a while, he spoke softly and changed the direction of the topic.

"Yuzhu, it's been a while since I've been back to my old house. I think we should go back and see grandma. She must miss you very much."

When Jiang Yuzhu heard Pei Jingchuan mention going home to visit her grandma, there was a look of thought on her face.

After a moment, she nodded slightly, with a hint of guilt in her voice.

"Yes, it's true that I haven't been back for a long time." Jiang Yuzhu's voice was soft, and his eyes were full of feelings for his family.

When Pei Jingchuan heard Jiang Yuzhu's promise, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

His voice was low: "Then it's decided, let's drive back now."

There was a trace of relief in Jiang Yuzhu's eyes, and she responded softly: "Okay, everything is up to you."

The car drove smoothly in the night, passing through familiar streets and heading towards Pei Jingchuan's old house.
