After about a twenty-minute drive, she got out of the car and headed upstairs, entering her new apartment. The scent of flowers lingered in the air, and when she turned on the lights, the space was bright and quiet. It felt warm inside; although no one had lived there yet, it exuded a sense of home.
Her fatigue and gloomy mood dissipated in an instant. Yet, she hadn’t expected that the person who provided her with this refuge would be Zong Zeyu, someone she had only recently met.
Tong Le was preparing to head to the bathroom for a shower when her phone buzzed with a WeChat message from Zong Zeyu: "I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. What gift do you want?"
Tong Le had never received such gifts before. In the past, Ke Wenjie often went on business trips too, but he never brought her anything; instead, he would return with a pile of clothes that needed washing.
Tong Le replied, "Why bring me gifts when you're going on a business trip? Just focus on your work."
Zong Zeyu responded: "A bag? Jewelry? Cosmetics?"
Tong Le felt a sudden rush of anxiety. She truly couldn't accept any gifts from Zong Zeyu; this apartment was already the greatest gift. She thought about how extravagant Zong Zeyu could be—if he were to buy something, it would likely start at several thousand yuan.
She feared that if Zong Zeyu really bought a bag or jewelry, she wouldn’t be able to repay him. But knowing his character, he wouldn’t come back empty-handed!
In a moment of inspiration, she thought of a perfect gift idea. She replied, "Chocolate! Bring some chocolate; I love chocolate."
Zong Zeyu replied: "Okay, I’ll get it."
Tong Le breathed a sigh of relief; chocolate was the best gift—decent and delicious—and how expensive could chocolate really be? A few pieces at most.
The next morning.
Ke Wenjie woke up and instinctively stepped out of his room. He peeked into the guest room next door and saw the door closed. He figured Tong Le must still be asleep. He wasn’t sure what time she had come home last night since he had gone to bed early.
He walked into the dining room where Zhang Huizhi had already prepared breakfast.
Concerned, Ke Wenjie asked, "What time did Tong Le come home last night?"
Zhang Huizhi rolled her eyes and casually replied, "She was locked out last night and couldn’t get in. She came back not long after going out. Hurry up and eat; you need to get to work."
Ke Wenjie turned his head to glance at the closed door of the guest room and sighed silently. His attitude towards her last night had been somewhat harsh, but he felt there was no other choice; her recent behavior had been too reckless and unbecoming.
He said to Zhang Huizhi, "Mom, let her sleep in a bit longer today. Don’t disturb her."
Zhang Huizhi avoided making eye contact with Ke Wenjie as she served porridge, nodding along. She pondered where Tong Le might have spent the night; it would be best if she had suffered outside!
At Zong Group.
Zong Jin arrived at the office early in the morning, his mind elsewhere. He occasionally pulled out his phone to check for messages but found none from Wu Youyou.
Yesterday, after he had a fight with Wu Youyou, she disappeared. She wasn't at home and didn't answer her phone. Zong Jinzuo thought for a moment and decided to call his mother, Wen Cuizhi.
