Because of He Yao, Tong Mengdi had another conflict with Hu Mingkai. And this time, Hu Mingkai didn't choose to be tolerant as he did before. Seeing that Tong Mengdi and Hu Mingkai were in another cold war, He Yao felt very self - reproachful because he thought it was all his fault. At first, He Yao kept avoiding Tong Mengdi because he thought only in this way could he prevent causing trouble for Tong Mengdi and avoid being misunderstood by Hu Mingkai. However, after asking Tong Mengdi's secretary, he learned that Tong Mengdi had been in a bad mood these days. He Yao knew that she surely hadn't made up with Hu Mingkai yet. Perhaps due to self - blame, after finishing his work today, He Yao came to Tong Mengdi's department. After greeting Tong Mengdi's secretary, Qiaoqiao, He Yao walked into Tong Mengdi's office. At this time, Tong Mengdi was still working attentively. He Yao came up to Tong Mengdi, knocked on her desk. When Tong Mengdi saw it was He Yao, she immediately spoke.

"Didn't you go for lunch?"

"I should be the one asking you this. Qiqi said you haven't had a proper lunch these days. What's going on? I came to check on you," He Yao said.

Tong Mengdi said, "It's nothing. I haven't had much of an appetite these days."

"Are you still in a cold war with Hu Mingkai?"

"..." Tong Mengdi remained silent.

"I'm sorry. It's all because of me."

"It has nothing to do with you. He's just too narrow - minded. Well, I don't want to talk about him anymore."

"But..."

"By the way, how's the Weida project going? Is the progress okay?"

Hearing Tong Mengdi change the topic, He Yao had no choice but to stop discussing it. Although Tong Mengdi said she didn't care, He Yao still felt self - reproachful in his heart because he knew very well that over the years, the conflicts between Tong Mengdi and Hu Mingkai were all caused by him. In fact, He Yao really didn't know what to do now. On one hand, he wanted Tong Mengdi and Hu Mingkai to clear up their misunderstandings because he understood better than anyone that these misunderstandings were all due to him. On the other hand, he also knew that if he went to find Hu Mingkai privately, what if he was misunderstood again? But seeing Tong Mengdi's current situation, He Yao knew he had no other choice. He found a time and invited Hu Mingkai. At first, Hu Mingkai refused, but He Yao was very persistent. Hu Mingkai had no choice but to agree to meet He Yao. They made an appointment after work. The two ordered some dishes, but Hu Mingkai insisted on going Dutch. After they paid, seeing Hu Mingkai's behavior, He Yao immediately spoke, with more helplessness in his words.

"Lao Hu, do we really need to be so clear - cut?"

"He Yao, don't try to get friendly with me. I have no friendship with you," Hu Mingkai said directly.

He Yao said, "I know you've had misunderstandings about me over the years. What you think of me doesn't matter. After all, I'm a man. But Mengdi is your girlfriend. You shouldn't misunderstand her like this."

"Is that just a misunderstanding? What would you think if I were with your girlfriend all day long?" Hu Mingkai asked directly.

"She and I are just friends. We've never done anything beyond the scope of friendship."

"He Yao, everyone can talk the talk, but does talking alone help?"

"Hu Mingkai, you love Tong Mengdi very much, right?"

"Of course."

"But if you doubt her like this, is this the so - called love you claim?"

Actually, when it comes to verbal skills, Hu Mingkai is certainly no match for He Yao. Seeing that he was defeated by He Yao in the argument again, Hu Mingkai didn't say anything more and chose to leave. But seeing He Yao stand up for Tong Mengdi again, Hu Mingkai was very angry. The two of them already had misunderstandings because of He Yao. Now, Tong Mengdi and he had a few words of argument, which was actually not a big deal. But after He Yao got involved, Hu Mingkai's misunderstanding of Tong Mengdi became even deeper. In the evening, Hu Mingkai invited Tong Mengdi. Tong Mengdi originally planned to ask Hu Mingkai to go back to her apartment, but her proposal was rejected by Hu Mingkai. The two met outside, but Hu Mingkai's face looked extremely unpleasant. Looking at his appearance, Tong Mengdi was the first to speak.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

"Tong Mengdi, who am I to you?" Hu Mingkai asked.

Tong Mengdi said, "You're my boyfriend. What's wrong?"

"Surprisingly, you still remember. But when there's a conflict between us, you immediately tell him. What do you mean? Are you planning to let him stand up for you?"
