Qin Miaomiao and Mo Wenwan meet at the Lu family home, both accompanying their respective partners, Lu Xing and Lu Qing. The grandfather, Old Sir Lu, urges his grandsons to interact more, but Lu Qing remains guarded. Meanwhile, Qin Miaomiao subtly distances herself from Mo Wenwan, planning to discuss their secret cooperation later. Mo Wenwan observes Qin Miaomiao with the child and nanny, feeling puzzled by the cold shoulder.

Qin Miaomiao’s gaze carefully observed Mo Wenwan, a puzzled expression on her face, as she seriously stated, "It's fine. The child is with the nanny, let's talk over here."

Unsure of the topic, Mo Wenwan followed Qin Miaomiao. The two women walked to another part of the yard. Their gazes met, lingering for a few seconds before Qin Miaomiao finally spoke, "Have you given any thought to the collaboration we discussed previously?"

"Oh, the collaboration. So that's what you meant," Mo Wenwan replied.

A knowing glint appeared in her eyes as she began to ponder Qin Miaomiao's true intentions. Seeing no change in Qin Miaomiao's expression, she continued, "I have indeed considered it. If a venture promises mutual benefits, there's no reason to refuse. Furthermore, collaboration presents a valuable opportunity for me."

Mo Wenwan's response sounded somewhat perfunctory to Qin Miaomiao. While her words lacked deep substance, careful consideration revealed subtle nuances. Qin Miaomiao calmly opened her mouth.

"I understand Miss Mo may have reservations, but you needn't worry too much. Many things are not as they appear. Should we collaborate, you will witness my sincerity."

A hint of helplessness flickered in Qin Miaomiao’s eyes as she steered the conversation towards Lu Xing.

"It seems you two are getting along wonderfully. How did you and Mr. Lu meet?"

The mention of Lu Xing caused Mo Wenwan's mood to falter. Recalling their first encounter, she found it difficult to articulate, as saying they met in bed was hardly appropriate. Thus, she fabricated a reason.

"Things are going smoothly," she said.

Qin Miaomiao commented, her gaze drifting towards the nanny in the distance. Pondering Mo Wenwan's possible thoughts, she then stated, "I'll head over there now. Please take your time exploring. This old house has many fascinating areas."

"Alright," Mo Wenwan replied.

A persistent feeling lingered with Mo Wenwan that Qin Miaomiao was subtly guiding her.

Although she couldn't precisely define it, a deeper understanding began to form within her. Her most pressing concern now was securing funding. To avoid alerting Li Li, any investment for her portion of the collaboration would need to come entirely from her own resources.

"It appears it's time to start drafting a detailed plan," she murmured to herself.

Her eyes narrowed as she watched Qin Miaomiao’s retreating back, her mind intensely focused on the financial aspects of the potential partnership. Suddenly, the underlying intention behind the collaboration became increasingly clear, prompting deeper contemplation as she observed Qin Miaomiao’s departure.

Lu Xing watched Lu Qing walk away without a word, then followed him outside. He was intrigued by Lu Qing's demeanor and his sudden departure. After a moment of thought, he discerned something amiss and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Lu Qing, let's talk for a few minutes."

"My wife and child are waiting. I have no desire to waste time conversing with another man," Lu Qing retorted.

Taken aback by this unconventional refusal, Lu Xing felt a surge of annoyance. He looked at Lu Qing, stunned, and blandly remarked, "You and Qin Miaomiao seem to share a very strong bond. It’s quite enviable."

Lu Qing shot him a displeased glance before issuing a warning, "Don't refer to her by her name. Call her sister-in-law."

"I am aware she is sister-in-law, but using her name feels more natural," Lu Xing replied.

"You are truly hopeless," Lu Qing scoffed.

Lu Qing lowered his voice, his tone laced with a clear warning and his eyes filled with disdain. He then swiftly exited the living room, his mood lifting considerably as he spotted Qin Miaomiao and their child.

Lu Xing was loath to admit Lu Qing's superiority, yet he could not deny that Lu Qing consistently maintained an advantage over him in many aspects. In both career and family life, Lu Qing had achieved remarkable success. Even with all his own efforts to catch up, keeping pace seemed an insurmountable challenge.
