Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Xu Mingjie pushed the door open and saw Ran Qiuye busy in front of the computer. He looked thinner than before, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Ran Qiuye, long time no see." Xu Mingjie tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

Ran Qiuye looked up at him and smiled, "Xu Mingjie, it's been a long time. Please take a seat."

Xu Mingjie sat down and looked around. Although the office was simple, it was neatly arranged. "How have you been recently?"

Ran Qiuye shrugged, "Not bad. How about you? It seems that you have a successful career."

"That's all, just busy." Xu Mingjie smiled bitterly, "Let's talk business. What exactly does the letter you sent me mean?"

Ran Qiuye was silent for a while, then sighed, "Xu Mingjie, I'm actually in some trouble now and I need your help."

"What's the trouble?" Xu Mingjie frowned. "Just tell me. I'll do my best if I can help."

Suddenly, a figure broke into the office, and hurried footsteps and panting were heard at the door. Xu Mingjie looked up and saw that it was their young assistant Jia Dongxu, who rushed in with a panicked look on his face.

"Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so anxious?" Xu Mingjie asked with concern.

Xu Mingjie nodded and stood up to leave. When he reached the door, he looked back at Ran Qiuye, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that at this moment, the relationship between him and Ran Qiuye had come to an end.

Back home, Lin Siyu was busy in the kitchen. Seeing Xu Mingjie coming in, she smiled and asked, "Mingjie, is the matter resolved?"

Xu Mingjie walked over and hugged her gently, his voice low and gentle: "Yes, it's solved. Thank you for always being by my side."

Lin Siyu stroked his back gently: "We are a family. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Xu Mingjie's heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. He knew that on a sunny weekend, Xu Mingjie and Lin Siyu decided to take the baby to the beach for a vacation. They packed their luggage and drove to the beach. Along the way, Lin Siyu and Xu Mingjie chatted, the baby played happily in the back seat, and the car was full of laughter.

When they arrived at the beach, they found a cozy little hotel to stay in. After putting down their luggage, Xu Mingjie and Lin Siyu brought their baby to the beach. The sea breeze blew gently, and the golden sand on the beach sparkled in the sun.

"Mingjie, look, the baby is so happy." Lin Siyu pointed at the baby playing on the beach, a happy smile on her face.

Xu Mingjie smiled and nodded, his heart filled with satisfaction and joy. They played on the beach for a long time, building sand castles and picking up shells, and every moment was filled with joy and warmth.

At night, Xu Mingjie and Lin Siyu were on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the sea in the distance. Xu Mingjie gently hugged Lin Siyu and whispered, "Siyu, it's so beautiful here. I hope we can always be happy like this."

Lin Siyu smiled and leaned on his shoulder, saying softly: "Mingjie, I also hope that we can continue to be happy like this. No matter what we encounter in the future, we will face it together."

Xu Mingjie bent down and kissed her forehead, his heart full of determination and confidence. They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and love.

Xu Mingjie stood at the door of Ran Qiuye's house, and his hesitation grew stronger as the night went on. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure - Jia Dongxu. His heart tightened, as this person was full of shadows and hostility to him. He originally didn't want to get entangled with Jia Dongxu, but the doubts and uneasiness in his heart forced him to take action.

Jia Dongxu obviously saw Xu Mingjie, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Before Xu Mingjie could speak, Jia Dongxu turned around and ran away, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Jia Dongxu!" Xu Mingjie shouted loudly and then chased after him.

Jia Dongxu ran very fast, but Xu Mingjie was even faster, and he closed the distance between them in just a few steps. Finally, Xu Mingjie caught up with Jia Dongxu in an alley.

"Why are you running!" Xu Mingjie asked breathlessly, his eyes full of anger and doubt.

Jia Dongxu's face turned pale, and he gasped and said, "I...I just...I don't want to get entangled with you."

Xu Mingjie sneered: "Entanglement? I'm not interested in entanglement with you. I just want to know why you always appear next to Ran Qiuye?"

Jia Dongxu avoided Xu Mingjie's gaze, looking a little guilty: "This has nothing to do with you. You don't need to interfere in the matter between Ran Qiuye and me."

Xu Mingjie grabbed Jia Dongxu by the collar, his eyes sharp: "Don't make it sound so easy. You know the relationship between Ran Qiuye and me, what are you doing behind my back?"

Jia Dongxu struggled for a moment, but Xu Mingjie’s hand held him tightly like an iron clamp. He sighed helplessly: “Well, I admit that I do have something I didn’t tell you.”

Xu Mingjie's eyes became even colder: "Speak."

Jia Dongxu looked at Xu Mingjie helplessly, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Actually, Ran Qiuye and I...we once had a short relationship. But that's all in the past. She is just my friend now."

After hearing this, Xu Mingjie seemed to have some answers to his doubts, but he was still worried: "Do you think I will believe every word you say? Why are you always by her side?"

Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly: "I know you don't believe it, but it's true. There is really no secret between us. She just encountered some difficulties in life, and I am trying my best to help her."

Xu Mingjie's hand gradually loosened, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He looked into Jia Dongxu's eyes, trying to find any trace of lying. But there was no flicker in Jia Dongxu's eyes, as if he was telling the truth.

"Okay," Xu Mingjie finally let go of her hand, "If what you said is true, then you'd better stay away from her. What she needs now is a peaceful life, not complicated emotional entanglements."

Jia Dongxu straightened his collar and nodded: "I understand what you mean. I will pay attention to it."

The two were silent for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Finally, Xu Mingjie took a deep breath and turned to leave the alley. He knew that he needed time to digest this information and also time to re-examine the relationship between himself and Ran Qiuye.

When he got home, Lin Siyu had already fallen asleep. Xu Mingjie walked into the bedroom and looked at his sleeping wife and baby, feeling a little comforted. He knew that he could no longer let the past affect his present life. He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everything would pass.
