Wen Can just stayed in the coffee shop.

He would often go out when Ye Kong went to class, but he would always return to the coffee shop in the evening.

Everyone knows that Wen Can is now homeless because the Wen family has officially announced that they will cancel his engagement with Ye Kong. Wen Can has not made any official response, but his actions have made his attitude clear.

Even if he had to leave the Wen family, he insisted on being with Ye Kong.

Early that morning, Ye Kong went downstairs with a cup of water and planned to make himself a glass of honey water.

There was still a dim light on in the corner.

Wen Can still had his computer turned on, sitting in the booth, not knowing what he was thinking about.

When she walked over with the cup of water, she saw a dazed face illuminated by the light.

I walked over and took a look, and found that it was a densely packed form.

"What are you thinking?"

She sat down opposite Wen Can.

The man raised his eyes and glanced at her, the square ball of light on the screen reflected in his pupils, like the artificial intelligence that appears in The Matrix, full of mechanical, ruthless and cold beauty.

"I think the future of Wen's Group is bright." - The meaning of the words was also unclear.

Ye Kong thought for a while: "Is it good or bad?"

"Okay." Wen Can leaned back on the sofa, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, "Of course."

"But hasn't the future of Wen's Group always been bright?"

“It’s been brighter lately.”

"You are about to leave the Wen family?" Ye Kong asked, "Didn't your grandfather always want you to get back on track and continue to use your abilities?"

"Now it's proven that even without me, the Wen family can continue to grow." Wen Can looked up at her, "In recent days, the Qin family has been very close to them."

Ye Kong seemed to be thinking: "Is it because of the previous banquet? They were tied to a boat instead?"

"Not only that." Wen Can said calmly, "At that time it was Wen Rong's personal wish, not worth mentioning, but now, both parties have signed the contract - this requires my grandfather to personally make the final decision, he should have looked down on the Qin family."

"why?"

"Qin used Haili's cooperation case as bait." Wen Can said, "This is a good move. I originally thought that they would definitely not give it up. I don't know who made the decision."

Ye Kong moved his fingers: "Qin..."

"Qin Jianbai has been quite conspicuous recently." Wen Can said calmly, "He hasn't communicated with the person in charge of Xingfei for a long time, but he often appears at various banquets and has met with Wen Rong many times. I guess the cooperation between the two sides was also negotiated by him - he should have made the choice because of his sister, but I always feel it's weird."

"..." Ye Kong's eyes condensed, and his voice was also a little condensed, "What's weird?"

"Is it because he always tried to hide his abilities in the past?" The man's long and powerful fingers like bone china tapped the exit key. The light on the screen changed, and a candid photo appeared.

It is a private restaurant. There is an old-fashioned car in front of the door. Two people are talking as they walk inside. Their bodies are half hidden by the car body, but their identities can still be seen.

One is the former chairman of Wen’s Group, who is also Wen Can’s grandfather.

The other one was Qin Jianbai.

Wen Can looked at the photo and said without any emotion: "I didn't know before that he could be so good at dancing."

"You know, my grandfather is a rather arrogant and hard to please old man."

Ye Kong looked at his expression and raised his hand to turn the computer towards himself.

The girl leaned forward and carefully identified the person in the picture, her brows gradually furrowed.

"By the way..." Wen Can came back to his senses, "Tomorrow, do you want to go to the Wen family with me again?"

"What? Aren't you going back?"

"A family dinner. It should be to give me an ultimatum in front of everyone. Or maybe it is to directly remove me from all my positions in Wen's Corporation. The chairman asked me to bring you with me."

"Letting you take me with you means he hasn't completely given up on you." Ye Kong thought, "He should want to formally 'persuade' me to quit."

"And if it doesn't work, this should really be my last time to return to Wen's Manor - before everything is over."

Ye Kong propped up his face and looked at him, saying absentmindedly: "Your father's peak of life is coming."

"Yes."

The man smiled slightly: "I'm looking forward to it."

He looked at Ye Kong and said, "It's okay if you don't go. I might be able to meet their expectations better if I go alone."

Ye Kong thought about it, glanced at the photo on the computer, his eyes flickered, and he said, "I'll go."

"After all, I am also very curious about how the perfect family that was rumored to be countless times more exemplary than the Ye family came to this point."

"It should be very ugly." Wen Can looked at her and smiled calmly, like a bottomless pool of water. "Aren't you afraid that if you see too much of these things, you will completely lose hope of finding some kind of love?"

"I'm not afraid." Ye Kong said, "People live in long and tiny despair. Even so, we have to survive desperately as if we are full of hope. Everyone is like this, aren't you too?"

"..." Wen Can was silent for two seconds, then suddenly laughed, "It's hard to say, I haven't thought about this question."

"Really?" Ye Kong suddenly leaned closer to him, "You suffer from insomnia every night. Others think you are staying here, but I am the only one who knows that you just sit here until dawn. How long have you been like this? How can you still be alive with no sleep at all? Aren't you struggling to survive? At least compared to those ordinary people who sleep well, you should be living a much more painful life."

"..."

The girl's sudden question made Wen Can stunned for a while, but before he could answer, Ye Kong had already sat back.

"Sorry, you don't have to answer me."

She waved her hands, as if her curiosity came and went suddenly, and she did whatever she wanted to the extreme.

Wen Can looked at her silently, and after a while he said, "You are really aggressive."

"Everyone says so." Ye Kong propped up his face and said, "Qu Wu once said to me when we had an argument that I am the best person in the world at inflicting wounds on people without them noticing."

As she spoke, she curled her lips, as if she was very dissatisfied with this evaluation, but also a little annoyed.

Wen Can smiled, but answered her: "I have slept during the day. If I hadn't slept all the time, I would have died a long time ago - it's just that I can't sleep at night, and even if I fall asleep, I will wake up countless times."

"Nightmare?"

"It's hard to say." Wen Can said, "After all, I can't remember it clearly."

"You should go to bed." Wen Can checked the time and urged, "Don't you have early classes tomorrow?"

"You memorize the timetable really fast."

Wen Can didn't say anything: "I'll bake you a dessert."

"No need, you'll eat it yourself even if it's grilled. I like the one next door."

Ye Kong stood up holding the cup.

Wen Can looked at her back, speechless for a long while, until the girl went upstairs without looking back, he murmured: "You are indeed very good at inflicting injuries on people as if nothing had happened."

·

The next day.

Ye Kong ran downstairs with a book in his hand and immediately saw the exquisite snacks on the bar counter.

Wen Can sat at the bar and smiled at her: "It's just been grilled, it's still hot."

She looked outside the door. The aroma of mature food was wafting in from the bakery next door, but the dish in front of her was obviously still a long way from being cooked.

But Wen Can smiled beautifully.

It's the kind of face that makes you feel good all day long when you see it for the first time when you wake up.

Ye Kong: ...

Finally, as Wen Can's smile deepened, she quickly picked up a small piece of egg tart, stuffed it into her mouth and ran out quickly.

Wen Can looked at her back, and with some new emotions, he watched her quickly - rush to the bakery next door.

A minute later, the girl ran towards the teaching building holding a paper bag.

Wen Can: ...

The smile disappeared, and the man indifferently stuffed the remaining snacks into his mouth one by one, and opened the hand of a second-generation who came to ask for money.

·

In the evening, Maybach arrived at Wen's Manor.

When Ye Kong pushed Wen Can's wheelchair into the house, Old Man Wen was being helped down from upstairs.

The two looked up and saw a masked face.

Ye Kong paused, and the indescribable intuition that was as irritating as ant bites came up again -
