Su Wanyi's red eyes are noticed by Mrs. Ye, who asks if Ye Chen bullied her. During dinner, Mrs. Ye fusses over Su Wanyi, while Ye Chen and Su Wanyi playfully tease each other. Su Wanyi receives a concerning call from her company, which prompts Ye Chen to abruptly announce they must leave due to a client meeting.

"Little Chen, drive safely and give us a call when you get home," Mrs. Ye said at the door as she saw the two off.

"Don’t worry, Mom. You and Dad need to take care of yourselves and don’t skimp on food," Ye Chen reminded.

He was very aware of his parents’ lifestyle. The two of them typically managed with just a little, saving like most families do.

"Your dad and I will take care of ourselves, so you don’t need to worry," Mrs. Ye said with a smile.

Then she turned to Su Wanyi and said, "Wanyi, don’t overwork yourself, make sure you get enough rest."

"Okay, Auntie, I’ll come again some other day to see you and Uncle, and enjoy the dishes you cook," Su Wanyi said with a smile.

"No problem, just tell Auntie whatever you want," Mrs. Ye said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Ye, Ye Chen and Su Wanyi drove away.

When they got some distance away, Su Wanyi asked, puzzled, "Ye Chen, why were you in such a hurry to leave?"

"I had nothing urgent, I was just doing it for you," Ye Chen glanced at Su Wanyi.

He knew that Su Wanyi had just received a call from the company, and they needed her urgently for something.

Su Wanyi felt awkward telling Ye Chen’s parents she had to leave, but Ye Chen was very considerate in helping her with this.

"Ye Chen, thank you," Su Wanyi said, moved.

She knew that Mrs. Ye and Father Ye had been eagerly awaiting their son’s return for so long, and would certainly want to spend more time with him.

However, Ye Chen gave up his time with his parents to accompany her.

"There’s no need to thank me, any man would do the same. Besides, stop thanking me all the time; doesn’t it seem a bit too distant?" Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

Even though Ye Chen said so, Su Wanyi knew that not every man would be like Ye Chen in such situations.

"Yes, sir!" Su Wanyi playfully saluted Ye Chen.

Seeing the girl next to him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The two of them chatted happily along the way.

Ye Chen was heading towards Su Wanyi’s company. Without her needing to say it, Ye Chen knew that Su Wanyi was always concerned about the unfinished work.

"Wanyi, we’re here," Ye Chen said as he parked the car in front of the company.

"How did we get here so fast? I wanted to sit with you a bit longer," Su Wanyi pouted.

She knew that once she got to the company, she would be busy again.

"Or I could go upstairs with you and help you out," Ye Chen suggested, looking at Su Wanyi.

"No need, you’ve driven for a long time, you should go home and rest," Su Wanyi thought for a moment before declining.

Even though Su Wanyi wanted Ye Chen to accompany her, she was very happy when he offered.

However, on second thought, she decided against it. They were supposed to be with the Ye Family, but Ye Chen left because of her.

If Ye Chen also helped her at work, Su Wanyi felt it wouldn’t be right.

Even if Ye Chen was willing, she couldn’t agree to it.

"Alright, but don’t overwork yourself; you need balance," Ye Chen said, gently stroking her hair.

"Okay, drive safely," Su Wanyi nodded obediently.

After saying goodbye to Ye Chen, she walked toward the entrance of the company.

Watching Su Wanyi’s disappearing figure, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. Having a girlfriend like her was also a kind of burden, as her heart was full of work, leaving no room for the one she loved.

Ye Chen drove towards the construction bank, remembering he hadn’t transferred money to Li Ming yet.

Last night, after Li Ming returned home, he kept checking his phone without receiving any messages.

His heart was a bit unsettled, thinking, "Did Ye Chen change his mind after thinking it all over?"

If that were the case, all his acting would have been in vain, as he had sacrificed his pride as a man for the money.

Li Ming picked up his phone but put it down again. Yesterday, he had specifically told Ye Chen there was no rush, so calling him would clearly seem like he was urging Ye Chen.

After much thought, he decided to let it go.

But he was still worried. If Ye Chen changed his mind about buying the unfinished building, no one else could help him.

Li Ming was indeed drowning in debt, and although the repayment date hadn’t arrived yet, the money still needed to be paid back.

Ye Chen drove to the entrance of the bank, saw the parking lot was full, and had to park farther away.

He rode a shared bicycle to the bank entrance, locked it, and walked in.

Ye Chen entered the bank, heading straight for the VIP client room.

Just then, a man’s voice came from outside.

"Sir, what business would you like to conduct?" the bank staff quickly called out.

Ye Chen turned back and looked at the staff in confusion, saying nothing.

Just as he stopped, a man in casual clothes with a buzz cut, looking about his age, walked in.

Behind the man were several middle-aged men in black suits, clearly his bodyguards, suggesting the young man was of some importance.

However, Ye Chen wasn’t interested in the young man’s identity. He was there to do a bank transfer, and nothing else concerned him.

"Young Master Zhou, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting outside for you all along," the staff member respectfully said to the young man.

The staff was nodding and bowing, looking like a lapdog, which made Ye Chen feel awkward.

The young man referred to as Young Master Zhou ignored the staff and headed towards the VIP room.

Seeing Ye Chen standing at the door, one of the bodyguards rudely said, "Kid, move aside, our Young Master Zhou needs to go in and conduct business."

A smirk appeared on Ye Chen’s face, and he remained still.

Zhou Jian found the scene in front of him quite amusing.

"Kid, do you know who I am?" Zhou Jian glared at Ye Chen and asked.

"What does who you are have to do with me? This is a bank, not your family business," Ye Chen replied, giving Zhou Jian a sideways glance.

His gaze towards Zhou Jian was like looking at a fool.

Zhou Jian, never having been treated this way, was somewhat angered by Ye Chen’s retort and glared at the staff.

The staff got the hint and said, "Kid, you’re standing in front of the famous Young Master of the Zhou Family. He needs to conduct business now, I’d advise you to step aside."

Ye Chen gave a slight smile without saying anything, clearly unbothered by the words.

Zhou Jian had never been ignored like this before. Anyone aware of his background would tremble in fear, but the young man before him remained calm and unaffected.
