Yue Qingqing was taken aback.

"Do you think Dad is innocent?"

Zhang Ying chuckled, tapping Yue Qingqing on the head.

"Your dad may look rugged on the outside, but he's actually quite meticulous. If he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't leave such a huge evidence behind for me."

Yue Qingqing curiously asked, "What if that person deliberately left clues to provoke you?"

Zhang Ying noticed that her daughter was clever in many ways, but naive when it came to emotions, probably due to her age.

The mother's tone was calm, "When do people get anxious? It's definitely when they're unsure. If they were really confident, they wouldn't bother with useless actions."

Yue Qingqing felt educated.

Yue Jiandong finished drying his hair and came out to see the noodles on the table, and immediately his appetite was whetted.

He sat down and eagerly slurped them up.

"I love this dish. Back in the day, when your mom and I were starting our business, no matter how busy she was, she'd always leave a bowl of noodles for me, so I wouldn't have to go to bed hungry after getting home late at night."

"Qingqing, let me tell you, living life is like this bowl of noodles. If you find someone who's willing to take care of you tirelessly, stick with her for life."

A bowl of noodles triggered different reflections for her parents.

Yue Qingqing ignored the late-night sentimentality of the noodles and deliberately asked,

"Just eating noodles is a bit bland, shouldn't you try some gourmet delicacies outside?"

Yue Jiandong widened his eyes, seemingly hearing a different implication.

"You better not be up to any nonsense at your young age. Even though I tease that lad Jiang sometimes, he's truly sincere with you. At your age, with your beauty and talents, there will definitely be many temptations out there, but in our Yue Family, we don't betray our commitments. Otherwise, I'd have to deal with you myself."

Hearing this rationale, Yue Qingqing exchanged a glance with her mother.

It seemed her mother was right.

If Dad was cheating, he wouldn't reprimand himself too.

Yue Qingqing could go to bed peacefully now.

"Good night."

——

On this side, the Yue Qingqing family could sleep soundly.

On the other side, the much-anticipated call never came.

A young woman sat restlessly at home.

"Impossible! How could Zhang Ying not have discovered it?"

"Dad, did you place the item?"

The middle-aged man beside her frowned, "I did. I talked it over with Liu Kangshi; the handkerchief was definitely placed in Mr. Yue's pocket."

The perfume on the handkerchief was sprayed in advance, with the word 'Pu' embroidered in the corner.

Upon seeing it, Zhang Ying would definitely associate it with her.

Zhang Ying kept a record of the employees' contact methods.

By then, the two of them would definitely argue, and Pu Xue had already rehearsed what to say when she received the call.

She practiced at home twice.

In a sweet, coquettish voice, she'd clear up the misunderstanding, and finally say, "Director Zhang, please don't blame Brother Yue, it was all my fault. I must have accidentally left the item in the wrong place, causing this misunderstanding."

An entire load of sweet, sarcastic words to fuel the fire, there was no way the two wouldn't argue.

Given various signs suggesting something was unusual today, Zhang Ying would be suspicious, no doubt.

Once the seed of doubt was planted, even if Yue Jiandong was innocent, they couldn't help but quarrel over it.

Pu Xue positioned herself as a gentle, understanding flower.

After all, Zhang Ying was an entrepreneur alongside Yue Jiandong and was known for her decisiveness and as a strong woman in their company.

People like this are often also dominant at home.

Pu Xue figured Mr. Yue must have been oppressed for long enough and probably couldn't stand it anymore.

Once she appeared, she'd likely be like a lifesaver to him.

There was no fear of Yue Jiandong not being moved.

Despite the perfect calculations, she couldn't even make the first move.

Pu Xue fantasized about the storm brewing in the Yue Family, while she waited by the phone all night.

In the end, she didn't get anything.
