Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

The two men each occupied two corners of the sofa, glancing at each other from time to time, as if they couldn't wait to beat each other up.

Su Zimu sat on a chair opposite the two of them, his eyes cold, hiding his inner panic and fear.

Some things cannot be forgotten just because you want to, and some people cannot be avoided just because you want to. Since you can't escape, you might as well face it calmly.

"Tell me, why are you here?" She tried her best to make her voice sound cold.

Jiang Huaizhou looked at her with gentle eyes, "I heard that there have been home robberies around here recently, and I'm worried." When he and Yang Ling sent Nic back, he heard Yang Ling and the driver telling him the news in the car.

Su Zimu was speechless. She originally wanted to ask him why he came to Frankfurt and how he found them, but he misunderstood her.

"Is that black SUV on the street yours?" Su Zimu asked.

"company's."

Su Zimu understood, "Are you settling down here or working here?"

"Work."

Hearing this, Su Zimu felt a little relieved. Work is temporary and he will leave sooner or later. "When will this work end?"

"It's over. We're just here to cut the ribbon."

Su Zimu nodded, "When you leave, I'll take Nic to see you off."

Jiang Huaizhou leaned back and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave either."

Seeing his shameless appearance, Su Zimu laughed, "So many years have passed, and we have all grown a few years older. Let's be more mature and part ways in peace. We can still be friends after we meet again. Besides, we all have new lives to live, so why bother?"

"Did you hear me? Stop bothering me." Ye Baiyao glared at Jiang Huaizhou.

"It's you who should stop pestering me. Do you think that just because you are related by blood, people will forget what you did?" Jiang Huaizhou said.

"We have the same father." Not even the slightest bit of blood relationship.

"Nic is our child." Jiang Huaizhou showed no sign of weakness.

"Nic calls me uncle."

"He should still call me dad."

"That's enough." Su Zimu interrupted. He wanted to make it clear all at once, but it felt like it was getting more and more complicated.

"I don't want to hide Nic's identity. I can't hide it no matter how hard you try. But..." Su Zimu's face became more serious, "No one can take Nic away from me, not even you."

Jiang Huaizhou nodded. He never thought of taking Nic away from her. He wanted both of them.

Su Zimu didn't expect him to agree so readily, and felt a little embarrassed. "You can also come to see him, I won't stop you."

"Sister!" Ye Baiyao was quite dissatisfied with this decision.

Su Zimu gestured for him to stay calm, "Do you have any other questions?" Nic was her bottom line, and she felt relieved when she was sure that he would not come to snatch it away.

Jiang Huaizhou, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his hand and said, "I want to ask a question."

"You ask." Since they were talking openly, she would try her best to answer whatever he asked.

"Why...why didn't you tell me while you were still alive?"

Su Zimu seemed to see tears in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm not a brave person. Most of the time, my choice is just to escape. I'm sorry."

"At that time, I was trapped in the fire and had prepared for the worst. I didn't expect Qi Yan and Xiao Bai to have planned to rescue me. I saved my life and also saw through many things."

"I don't want to pursue anything from the past, and I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore. I want to start over and start a new life with Nic."

"Do you know how I have been through the past three years?" Jiang Huaizhou wanted to ask this question, but he couldn't open his mouth. She said she wanted to start over, and now that he has met her again, he can start over with her.

"Have these three years been easy?" He could imagine how difficult it had been for her.

Su Zimu smiled calmly, "It was indeed a bit chaotic at the beginning, but thanks to the help of Jiang Yi and the others, it's much better now that we are on the right track."

Seeing her calm demeanor, Jiang Huaizhou lowered his eyes to look at the water cup in front of him, his throat tightening. He had missed the three most important years of their relationship.

Glancing at someone, Su Zimu had many questions in her mind. She wanted to ask him how he had been doing in the past three years, how Mr. Jiang was doing, and the friends she knew, whether they were doing well, and the woman who seemed considerate during the day, whether they had their own children...

Picking up the water cup and taking a sip, Su Zimu glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. She slowly stood up and said, "How about we just leave it at that for today?"

Hearing this, Ye Baiyao stood up and saw Jiang Huaizhou still sitting on the sofa. He said unhappily, "Are you still not leaving?"

Jiang Huaizhou glanced at Ye Baiyao, then looked back at Su Zimu, "Is there anything to eat?"

Su Zimu opened his lips slightly, and spoke after a while, "Can I have cookies?" Nic hid a lot of cookies in the locker.

Jiang Huaizhou nodded, "I haven't had lunch yet."

Su Zimu was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, he was not so surprised. After all, he always did not eat on time before and always needed someone to remind him.

Quickly shaking off the memories in his mind, Su Zimu smiled, "Then I'll cook you a bowl of noodles. After all, it was you and... the one who helped me bring Nic back today."

"Thank you." Jiang Huaizhou thanked her sweetly. He probably guessed from her words that she didn't want to have anything to do with the past anymore. It didn't matter. He could treat it as their first meeting.

Su Zimu smiled faintly, and looked at Ye Baiyao who sat down again, "What about you?"

"I don't eat it. I'm not as thick-skinned as some people."

The shameless man ignored him and waited until Su Zimu entered the kitchen before saying, "What are you doing here if you're not eating? Why don't you go home?"

"I have to protect their safety."

Jiang Huaizhou: "I'm here."

Ye Baiyao snorted, "It's because you're here that it's unsafe."

Jiang Huaizhou: "Light bulb."

Ye Baiyao: "What are you thinking about? You need to recognize your current position."

Jiang Huaizhou was of course aware of his current situation. He could see that Su Zimu had long been accustomed to life without him and had no intention of reconciling with him, but he would not agree.

Continuing to argue with him would only make him look childish, so Jiang Huaizhou silently took out his cell phone.

A few minutes later, Ye Baiyao's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and his expression changed slightly. "What's the matter?"

Seeing that his face was getting worse, Jiang Huaizhou said sarcastically: "If you have something to do, just leave first, don't delay."

Ye Baiyao gritted his teeth. The General Administration of Customs in China suddenly sealed up his entire shipload of goods and refused to release them no matter how his men provided evidence. That’s why he called him late at night.

He wanted to ask Jiang Huaizhou to go with him, but then he thought of the burglary and was worried about the safety. He couldn't do it. Ye Baiyao walked to the door and shouted, "Sister, I have something to do suddenly. I'll leave first. Call me if you have anything here."

Hearing the sound, Su Zimu walked out of the kitchen. Ye Boyao had already closed the door and left. Looking at the noodles that were almost ready in the pot, she frowned slightly. He should be able to finish the amount for two people, right?
