“It’s indeed too late. Normally, I would invite you upstairs…” She smiled. Suddenly, she thought of something and pointed at the coat draped over her shoulders. “The coat… I’ll take it home with me first?” she asked for his opinion. After all, she wore his coat, so she had to wash it before returning it to him, just like the slippers he lent her last time. It was common courtesy.

He nodded understandingly and said calmly, “Okay, you can return it to me next time.”

She didn’t know what to say because she thought he meant, ” I knew you were thinking of ways to create opportunities to see me…”

On second thought, although this was not her real intention, it was indeed the result she wanted to achieve. “Then I’ll return it to you after I wash it.”

This time, she stood where she was and watched him leave.

After arriving home, she entered her bedroom. She took off his coat and found that her clothes didn’t get wet in the rain as she had imagined. Even her sleeves, which were the most vulnerable to rain, were clean and refreshing. She stared at the coat for a long time…

…

It was Monday again. Qi Mei dragged herself out of her home and prepared to take the subway. However, just as she walked to the Western-style house, she saw the Maybach parked at the door.

The man who picked her up that day was sitting in the driver’s seat. Obviously, he was waiting for Song Bojian.

Sure enough, she looked through the fence and saw Song Bojian push the door open and walk out. Grandma Xiao followed behind him and seemed to talk to him, but he shook his head.

“Good morning,” Qi Mei greeted him first.

“Morning.” A faint smile touched his lips.

“Have you had breakfast?” Qi Mei asked politely after thinking for a while.

“Not yet.” He glanced at the sandwich in her hand.

She paused under his stare. Her mother had prepared this for her in the morning and she hadn’t had the time to eat it. So, she handed the sandwich over to him. “How can you not eat breakfast in the morning? Here you are.”

Before he could react, she thrust it into his hand, waved her hand, and hurriedly left. She was still in a hurry to catch the subway. There were many people in the morning rush hour on Monday.

Song Bojian got into the car and stared at the sandwich in his hand for a long time.

The driver suddenly said, “Mr. Song, was that Miss Qi?” He picked up Qi Mei once and had a deep impression of her.

“Yes,” Song Bojian replied.

“Miss Qi is quite thoughtful,” The driver started the car and said with a smile.

“Did you feel it?” Song Bojian’s eyes raised at the corners.

The driver didn’t turn around, but he could tell that Song Bojian was in a good mood. He nodded and said, “Yes, of course.”

Song Bojian turned his head to look out of the car window as if he was pleased by these words, and he was radiant with joy.

…

Qi Mei arrived at the company in time.

In the afternoon, Yu Nan informed her that there would be a summit forum on autonomous driving technology the day after tomorrow. She was asked to prepare and participate with him.

“I’ll definitely learn from you,” she said happily.

“We’re going to exchange ideas and learn from others in this forum. But we need to show off our skills in the technology exhibition in the second half of the year.”

Because of what Yu Nan said to her, Qi Mei worked until eleven o’clock at night. After working overtime for two consecutive days, she didn’t even have the time to return the coat to Song Bojian. She had no choice but to send him a WeChat message first.

[I’m sorry, I’ve been a little busy these two days. Your coat has been washed. When is a convenient time for me to return it to you?]

After that, she went to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she looked at her phone, but there was no reply. She thought that he was busy and didn’t think too much of it.

However, he didn’t reply until she woke up the next morning. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, but she quickly composed herself.

Since she was going to the summit forum today, she specially dressed up for it. She chose a teal silk shirt and a classic white A-line skirt which made her look tall and slender.

When they arrived at the venue, Qi Mei realized that she had underestimated the scale of the meeting. The organizer specially booked the hotel’s largest conference hall and decorated it in the color of blue. And there was a special background board with the names of participating companies and sponsors written on it.

This time, Yu Nan also brought the company’s senior sales director and other senior executives. The seats of the participants were arranged in advance.

Qi Mei entered the venue and went straight to the sixth row that her colleague had mentioned.

“Where’s Mr. Yu?” Qi Mei sat down and asked Di Xiqun who was beside her.
