Tao Yao glanced at Zhongmo, then looked down at Feiying who was nervous beside him.

She could feel that Feiying really didn't want to sit with Zhongmo.

Realizing this, she gently took Feiying's hand, her tone gentle but unquestionable:

"I'm sorry, Feiying probably doesn't want to eat with you. Let's find a seat by ourselves."

As she said that, she pulled Feiying towards the other side of the restaurant.

Finally, the two found a quiet table in the corner by the window and sat down.

This place is some distance away from the final destination, so Feiying won't feel too much pressure.

In the end, he watched the two of them leave, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

She stared at Taoyao holding Feiying's hand, her eyes darkening.

……

Taoyao and Feiying had just opened the menu and were ready to order.

The waiter was still patiently introducing today's special dishes, but Feiying's attention always unconsciously drifted towards the end.

She always felt that they would not be let off so easily in the end.

Sure enough, before the waiter had time to remember their dishes, the waitress had already stood up from her seat.

She was holding the cup of steaming black tea and walking towards this side gracefully.

Every step seems to be carefully calculated, not appearing too deliberate, yet showing just the right sense of oppression.

Before the two of them could react, Zhongmo had already sat down in the empty seat opposite them.

She gently placed the teacup in her hand on the table, and the porcelain made a crisp sound when it collided with the wooden table.

Feiying was startled by this sudden change, and she subconsciously shrank towards Taoyao.

"Taoyao, I think you should have received the news. Our End Group is about to enter the game market, and our first project is a game of the same type as yours. We have considered this decision for a long time, and finally chose to announce it at this time."

Her gaze lingered meaningfully on Feiying for a moment before she looked at Taoyao again.

"We invested tens of billions of dollars and recruited almost all the top R&D teams in the entire gaming industry."

"We are fully prepared in every aspect, including technology, talent and funding."

"According to the current progress, if nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before it can be officially launched."

"By then, our games will definitely become the focus of the market."

Finally, he picked up the teacup and gently blew away the hot steam.

Her movements were graceful and calm, as if she had everything under control:

"Do you really want to continue developing this doomed game just for her?"

"It's not too late to stop now. After all, compared to us, your technical reserves and financial strength are far inferior."

"This obviously unequal competition is not good for anyone."

Her tone sounded like she was thinking about Tao Yao, and every word was heart-piercing:

"I know you have always been very opinionated and never care about what others think."

"But this time is different. It's not worth sacrificing the entire company for an illusory promise."

"You should know better than me how much loss the company will suffer if this project fails."

In the end, he looked at Feiying meaningfully, with a bit of pity in his eyes:

"After all, as far as I know, you mixed a lot of personal stuff into the game."

"I don't think players will pay for such a game."

Tao Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the table. She looked up at Zhongmo with a calm and composed gaze.

"How I make games is my business."

"In the end, we are no longer partners. You have no right to interfere with my decision."

"This game means a lot to me, and it's not something you can easily deny with just a few words."

At the end, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She put down the teacup in her hand, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

That condescending attitude is like watching a tragedy about to unfold:

"Taoyao, why do you have to lie to yourself? You know better than anyone that a game like yours that carries private goods will never make money. And if you stop now, it's not too late. If that time comes, your company will probably go bankrupt completely."

Her tone became increasingly contemptuous, and every word she spoke sounded like a carefully designed sharp blade:

"And once you're broke, what else can you do except come to me for help?"

"When the time comes, you will have no choice but to watch your years of hard work go to waste."

"Your current stubbornness is just paying the price for your own stubbornness."

Tao Yao still maintained a relaxed attitude, as if the bankruptcy crisis the other party mentioned was just an insignificant joke.

She gently placed her hand on the back of Feiying's hand, as if silently soothing her anxiety:

"Don't worry about my affairs. You can focus on your own game instead of wasting time here."

She had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with unquestionable determination:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"If not, please don't disturb Feiying and I's rare lunch time."

"I guess you don't want to waste your time on such meaningless conversations, right?"

The expression at the end turned cold in an instant.

She stood up and looked down at Tao Yao, the sense of oppression was even stronger than before:

"Okay, then I'll wait for the day when you fail miserably and have to beg me for help."

"I hope you can still maintain your indifferent attitude when the time comes."

After saying this, he turned and left.

There was an indescribable arrogance in her back, as if she had foreseen Tao Yao's failure.

The sound of high heels hitting the floor was particularly clear, as if putting an ironic end to the conversation.

Watching Zhongmo walk away, Feiying still looked a little depressed.

She lowered her head and twisted her fingers together nervously, obviously affected by the final words.

"Taoyao... am I too willful? If the company really goes bankrupt because of me..."

Tao Yao noticed Feiying's uneasiness. She reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of Feiying's hand, interrupting her self-blame:

"Feiying, don't be affected by her words."

"Don't let anyone's words interfere with your judgment."

“You have to believe in what you believe in and stick to it.”

“Only in this way can we achieve the desired results in the end.”

Her voice was gentle but firm, and every word was full of power:

"You have a good idea. A game based on you won't be as bad as she says."

“I believe that as long as you follow your ideas, you will be able to create a unique work.”

"Besides, have you forgotten? This game is not just about making money, but more importantly, it is about realizing our ideals."

Feiying raised her head and looked at Taoyao seriously.

Her eyes gradually lit up and she nodded heavily:

"Well, I see."

"Don't worry Taoyao, I won't be affected by anyone or anything!"

"I will definitely persevere to the end! I want to let everyone see how exciting our game will be!"

Tao Yao looked at Feiying's regained confidence and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She likes to see Feiying's energetic look the most:

"Okay, let's have lunch first. After lunch, go back to the company and take a rest. We'll work together to perfect the game plan in the afternoon, okay?"

Soon, the dishes they ordered were served one after another.

The entire table was filled with exquisite dishes, and the aroma was everywhere.

The colors are matched just right, and just looking at it makes people's appetite increase.

Tao Yao looked at the food in front of her, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She picked up a piece of crystal clear shrimp dumpling with her chopsticks and took the initiative to feed it to Feiying:

"Come on, open your mouth, this shrimp dumpling tastes great."

“The shrimp is very fresh and the skin is cooked just right, you will definitely like it.”

Feiying blushed slightly.

But he still opened his mouth obediently and accepted Taoyao's feeding.

……

After the two of them finished enjoying this warm lunch, Tao Yao wiped her mouth gently, looked at Feiying's satisfied expression, and couldn't help but smile dotingly.

Being able to make Feiying happy while eating is her greatest satisfaction.

"Are you full? Seeing you eating so happily, I feel happy too."

Feiying nodded, with a happy smile on her face:

"Yeah! They are all my favorites. Taoyao, you really know me too well. Every dish suits my taste."

"Then let's go back to the company. We can help digest our food on the way."

Taoyao stood up and naturally took Feiying's hand.

Their fingers intertwined gently, sharing each other's warmth.

This simple action made Feiying feel extremely at ease.

After paying the bill, they walked towards the restaurant exit hand in hand.

The afternoon sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft golden edge on the figures of the two.

There was a faint aroma of food in the air, making this moment particularly beautiful.

Feiying was immersed in the happy atmosphere and didn't notice the vague gaze in the corner at all.

As she passed a table against the wall, a girl wearing a dark hood and covering most of her face with a book slowly put down the book in her hand.

Sha Wan raised her head and followed Feiying's departing back with her eyes.

Her eyes were complicated, showing deep worry and a hint of helplessness.

Looking at the scene of Feiying and Taoyao holding hands, her brows were tightly furrowed and her fingers unconsciously pinched the edge of the page.

"Feiying, to what extent are you obsessed that you are so reluctant to wake up?"

Her voice was so soft that only she could hear it:

"It's no good for anyone to indulge in such an illusory dream... You'd better wake up as soon as possible and contact me."

Her tone gradually became solemn:

"Otherwise, I don't want to take some extreme measures..."

"But for Sister Baiying, I might really have to do this."

As Sha Wan watched the two figures disappear at the door, her expression became increasingly gloomy.

She knew what a beautiful dream Feiying was immersed in, but this false sense of happiness made her even more worried.

Just then, the waiter came over with a tray of food, interrupting her thoughts.

"Sir, this is the truffle baked lobster, sweet and sour spare ribs, and crab roe tofu you ordered... Can you serve it now?"

Sha Wan retracted her gaze and nodded gently: "Put it here."

Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food in front of her, Sha Wan poked it lightly with her fork.

The meat is crystal clear, cooked to perfection, and even the presentation is impeccable.

She put a small piece of ribs into her mouth, and the delicious taste instantly bloomed on her tongue.

"It's so fake it feels real..."

She put down the cutlery, her eyes becoming somewhat melancholy.
