Tong Mengdi and Liu Lian have been in a cold war recently because of a quarrel, and neither of them is willing to take the initiative to contact the other. Since Hu Mingkai is usually very busy at work and has almost no vacations, and Tong Mengdi is not very good at doing housework, He Yao has started taking care of her again. He Yao knows that Tong Mengdi and Liu Lian have been friends for so many years, and their relationship is actually very good. But now, just because of him, they have quarreled like this, and He Yao feels very self - reproachful. In fact, He Yao is aware that over the years, due to him, Tong Mengdi has had many conflicts with both Hu Mingkai and Liu Lian. So, seeing that Tong Mengdi has been in a bad mood recently, He Yao is rather worried. Every time Tong Mengdi is in a bad mood, she likes to numb herself with work. Although He Yao hasn't been with Tong Mengdi much recently, he often asks her secretary for news about her. When he heard the secretary say that Tong Mengdi hasn't been eating well recently, He Yao became a bit anxious. At noon today, as soon as it was time to get off work, He Yao walked into Tong Mengdi's office. At that time, Tong Mengdi was still working. Seeing her like that, He Yao didn't say anything. He took Tong Mengdi's hand and walked out of her office. They went to a small shop. He Yao ordered some of Tong Mengdi's favorite food and then immediately spoke.

"I heard from your secretary that you haven't been eating well recently. What's going on?"

"Nothing. I'm on a diet," Tong Mengdi said, making an excuse.

He Yao smiled and said, "You're already as delicate as Sister Lin in A Dream of Red Mansions. What more weight do you need to lose?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Tong Mengdi said.

"Okay, no more joking. Have you made up with Hu Mingkai recently?"

"No."

"Do you need me to explain to him?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

In fact, this isn't the first time Tong Mengdi and Hu Mingkai have had a conflict because of He Yao. And every time, Tong Mengdi's attitude is the same, that is, she protects He Yao. She feels that there is actually nothing between her and He Yao, but she is constantly suspected by Hu Mingkai, which is really helpless. Next, He Yao still said that he wanted to explain to Hu Mingkai on Tong Mengdi's behalf, but Tong Mengdi kept objecting. Although He Yao still wanted to continue talking to Tong Mengdi, Tong Mengdi remained unresponsive. A few days after this incident, He Yao could tell that Tong Mengdi still hadn't made up with Hu Mingkai. Although He Yao knew that if he went to find Hu Mingkai, it might not only not solve the problem but also make things more complicated. But for Tong Mengdi's sake, after consideration, He Yao still went to find Hu Mingkai. He came to Hu Mingkai's company and told the receptionist that he was looking for Hu Mingkai. The receptionist informed Hu Mingkai by phone. After waiting for a long time, Hu Mingkai finally came out. Seeing He Yao, Hu Mingkai naturally knew why he was there, but he still asked knowingly.

"Why did you come to me?"

"Lao Hu, I'm here for Mengdi today. What you think of me doesn't matter. But she's your girlfriend. Don't you think suspecting her like this is hurting her?" He Yao said.

Hu Mingkai then said, "Why do we have so many conflicts? Isn't it because you're pestering Mengdi?"

"Lao Hu, you're a man. But as a man, don't you think your mind is too narrow?"

"Am I narrow - minded? He Yao, if it were me staying with your girlfriend every day, what would you think? Oh, I forgot, you don't have a girlfriend," Hu Mingkai said in a sarcastic tone.

"You..."

"I know you and Mengdi are friends, but I'm telling you, my girlfriend doesn't need the care of other men."

"Lao Hu, no matter what happened between you two, I've never been an obstacle between you. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"He Yao, don't stir up trouble in front of Mengdi in the future. If you really like her, I can compete with you fairly. But if you use this kind of method, then I can only say that you're too insidious."

Over the years, this isn't the first time Hu Mingkai has said such things to He Yao, but every time He Yao has chosen to endure it, because as he said himself, he really doesn't want to make Tong Mengdi embarrassed anymore. Perhaps because of this incident, He Yao has been in a bad mood these days. Every night, he asks his friend Kang Yong to drink with him. Like He Yao and Tong Mengdi, Kang Yong also works for this company. And regarding the relationship between the two, Kang Yong naturally knows it well. But what puzzles Kang Yong is that if He Yao really wants to fall in love, he has many choices. Why does he have to waste time on Tong Mengdi, who isn't single? Although Kang Yong knows He Yao's character and is sure that he won't let himself become a third - party, then why doesn't he keep a distance from Tong Mengdi? Although He Yao has a clear conscience, the feeling of being misunderstood by Hu Mingkai every time isn't really good. Although today's food is delicious, He Yao doesn't eat much and just drinks alcohol. Seeing his friend's state, Kang Yong immediately shows concern for him.

"I heard that Hu Mingkai went to look for you again?"

"Indeed, good news never goes beyond the door, but bad news spreads far and wide," He Yao said helplessly.

"What did he say?" Kang Yong asked.

"He and Tong Mengdi have had a lot of problems recently. It seems they're quarreling."

"Because of what?"

"Marriage. It seems Tong Mengdi doesn't want to marry him."

"Is it because of you?"

He Yao said, "That's how rumors start."

"He Yao, do you think Tong Mengdi likes you?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

"How is this nonsense? I heard that she doesn't have many friends in the company, just you."

"That's just her personality."

"Then there you go. For someone as aloof as her, who could she take a fancy to? Why is she so close to you?" Kang Yong said with a smile.

"Are you still going to keep talking like this?"

"Okay, no more joking. I'm serious. Are you really going to keep being with her like this?"

"What kind of talk is that? It's as if there's really something between us."

"He Yao, to be honest, you should find someone. Otherwise, I can ask my wife to see if there's anyone suitable in her hospital and introduce one to you?"

"Are you going to stop?"

Although He Yao has been in a relationship before, they dated in college and broke up after graduation. Since then, He Yao has been single, and this is one of the reasons why Hu Mingkai misunderstands him. In fact, He Yao knows that Tong Mengdi isn't single, and he shouldn't care about her like this. But the two of them always think that they're just friends, and their relationship doesn't affect anyone, so they don't care at all. Although Hu Mingkai has been expressing his dissatisfaction, Tong Mengdi doesn't care at all. Seeing that his warnings are useless, Hu Mingkai is very helpless. But after all, a person's patience is limited. So, seeing Tong Mengdi's completely indifferent attitude, Hu Mingkai finally can't bear it anymore. And the two of them often quarrel because of He Yao next. This creates pressure on He Yao. Although Tong Mengdi doesn't care about Hu Mingkai's feelings at all, He Yao...
