Wang Dahai waited in the car for a few minutes before Wu Qiangwei came down.

He opened the door and got in, saying, "Later, when you go home, pack up your clothes."

"Huh?"

"Chen Die will be staying at my place for the next couple of days."

"Oh."

Wang Dahai suddenly realized and then heard Wu Qiangwei ask, "Did she ask you anything on the way?"

"She asked quite a lot."

"What did she ask exactly?"

Wang Dahai told her some of the questions Chen Die had posed.

After listening, Wu Qiangwei said, "You did well. No matter how she asks in the future, don't say anything you're not supposed to."

Wang Dahai heard something in her tone.

"She wasn't invited by you?"

Wu Qiangwei was silent for a few seconds, then said, "My husband had her come over."

Wang Dahai was taken aback but then vaguely understood.

Her husband had specifically arranged for her to come over, ostensibly to add an assistant for her.

But in reality, it was with the intention of surveillance.

Of course, he didn't understand the full situation and didn't want to make assumptions recklessly.

Wu Qiangwei said, "During this time, unless I initiate contact with you, don't try to contact me at any other time."

"Mhm."

Wang Dahai understood her meaning; between them, they needed to maintain some distance.

"Alright, I'm going upstairs now."

From her retreating figure, Wang Dahai could discern a touch of loneliness and some complex emotions.

His own heart was no less complicated.

But upon reflection, he realized their relationship had never been laid out in the open.

He knew that Wu Qiangwei didn't want to lay it all out; she preferred to keep things ambiguous.

With a soft sigh, Wang Dahai went to her house and collected all his clothes and traces of his residence.

He suddenly felt a bit vexed again.

Because he didn't know where he would stay tonight.

Stay at Lin Wanqiu's place?

Their relationship was mended now, but Wang Dahai still felt somewhat awkward inside.

The most important reason was that Zhao Xue was also there.

He was worried Zhao Xue couldn't restrain herself from climbing into his bed in the middle of the night.

Thinking of how Lin Wanqiu had once found him with another woman in the restroom, Wang Dahai now felt somewhat averse to such situations.

He also didn't know whether Xu Xixi's mother had left yet.

They had been in contact a few times during this period, and her mother didn't seem to have any intention of leaving anytime soon.

As he was caught in this dilemma, a message from Bai Ruyi came through.

"You little rascal, have you settled your plans for tonight?"

"I'm free."

"Really?"

Even through the screen, Wang Dahai could feel her happiness.

"Then come straight to my house."

"Er, Mr. Liu isn't there?"

"He's gone abroad for a business trip."

"And Vivi?"

"Vivi went with him on the trip."

No wonder Liu Weiwei hadn't been in contact with him lately.

Just before leaving work, Wu Qiangwei sent a message, telling him to leave early. She was going to have dinner with Chen Die and would go home herself.

Wang Dahai drove straight to Bai Ruyi's house.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Soon, the door was opened.

The one who opened the door was a stranger, about one hundred and sixty-five centimeters tall, wearing a silk maxi dress that reached her knees.

The flowing dress highlighted her voluptuous figure perfectly.

Looking at the extremely beautiful and mature woman before him, Wang Dahai suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.

Yet he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"You must be Wang Dahai, right?" The woman smiled and extended a hand, "Luo Qin, Ruyi's best friend."

"Hello, Miss Luo."

Wang Dahai hurriedly shook hands with her.

Although he knew that Bai Ruyi's best friend was also at home, he didn't expect her to be so beautiful.

"Ruyi is cooking, come on in."

"Alright."

Wang Dahai changed his shoes and walked into the room.

Luo Qin handed him a cup of tea, then went off to help in the kitchen.

Soon, the meal was ready, and Bai Ruyi said, "Dahai, go wash your hands for dinner."

"Hmm."

The two hadn't seen each other in a long time, and though they chatted every day on their phones, seeing each other in person was somewhat awkward.

"Xiao Qin, this is Dahai, my nephew from afar," Bai Ruyi introduced simply.

Wang Dahai was surprised. Why was Mrs. Bai introducing him like this?

Wasn't she afraid that Luo Qin would slip up and say something to Mr. Liu?

Luo Qin let out an "Oh" and said, "Your big nephew is quite handsome."

"Big nephew, do you have a girlfriend?" Luo Qin asked with a smile.

"Cough, yes."

"I heard from Ruyi that you are a massage therapist? Could you give me a massage later?"

Wang Dahai was somewhat overwhelmed by the woman's enthusiasm and looked to Bai Ruyi for help.

Bai Ruyi gently patted her arm, saying, "Let's focus on eating."

After the meal, Wang Dahai took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.

In the kitchen, he whispered, "Mrs. Bai, should I head back first later?"

Bai Ruyi pinched his waist lightly, "Humph, you just got here and you already want to leave? Do you not want to see me?"

"No, it's just that your best friend is here, and I'm worried she might notice something."

"She won't," Bai Ruyi whispered. "Stay here tonight."

"What?"

"What what, there's no one else at home anyway, I've already prepared a room for you. Just stay here for the next couple of days."

Wang Dahai was worried about finding a place to stay, so this was convenient.

However, with her best friend still there, he felt somewhat restrained.

"I'll go downstairs to get my clothes later then."

"Your clothes are downstairs?"

"Yes, I got kicked out again." Wang Dahai briefly explained, and Bai Ruyi laughed, "You're always living off others. Can't you rent your own place?"

"I've been meaning to, but never had the time."

Wang Dahai said, "I've just been really busy lately."

"Busy with what?"

"That's a long story."

Wang Dahai briefly explained Wu Qiangwei's situation.

He was mainly worried that Bai Ruyi would think he was intentionally avoiding her.

After listening, Bai Ruyi was taken aback.

"Your story sounds like something out of a film, so bizarre."

"I wouldn't have believed it myself, had I not encountered it."

Wang Dahai continued, "I've been investigating that general manager, and just today had some free time."

"You must be really working hard," Bai Ruyi said. "Too busy even to flirt."

The two joked and flirted in the kitchen, while Luo Qin eavesdropped sneakingly in the living room.

When they came out, she quickly sat up straight.

Stretching, Luo Qin said, "Big nephew, are you done? How about giving me a massage? My shoulders are so sore."

Wang Dahai looked at Bai Ruyi, who said, "You go wash up and get ready."

After Dahai went to wash his hands, Bai Ruyi came over and whispered, "Stop flirting with him!"

Giggling, Luo Qin said, "Why, jealous? Afraid I'll take your little boyfriend?"

"Who's jealous? If you think you can take him, go ahead. I'm just worried your body, which you've preserved for over a decade, might not be able to handle it."

Luo Qin's face turned red as she pinched Bai Ruyi's thigh, "What are you talking about?"

Then she asked, "Is he really that good?"

Bai Ruyi's face also flushed, "How would I know? I haven't tried."

Just then, Wang Dahai came over, "Mrs. Qin, please lie down."
