Long Yuetian did not put much thought into this question. She agreed immediately: “Sure, he can come with me.”

Then, Long Yuetian intended to leave with Cheng Yi.

When she headed into the parking lot, just as she was about to start her car, the system prompted her that there was a problem with the car tires.

And thus, Long Yuetian got out of the car to check. She quickly discovered one of her tires was flat. It was as if she had run over a nail on the way here.

Long Yuetian apologetically said to Cheng Yi: “Sorry, you may have to wait a while.”

!!

Then, she opened the trunk of her car and intended to change the tire herself.

When Cheng Yi saw this, he offered: “Let me change the tire.”

“No need,” Long Yuetian replied. She insisted on doing it herself.

At this moment, Zhai Zhongshen walked into the parking lot as well.

“I will send you guys over. Let my assistant fix the car and drive it over for you,” Zhai Zhongshen said to Long Yuetian.

As he said this, Zhai Zhongshen’s assistant began to help Long Yuetian.

“Miss. Long, please let me handle this. You don’t need to dirty your hands with this work. It will take up your precious time. After all, you have to go and attend a meeting with the Second Master of the Zhai family.”

“Meeting?” Long Yuetian repeated as she turned her head to look at Zhai Zhongshen.

“We ran into a small problem in our collaborative project. I believe this needs to be handled by you,” Zhai Zhongshen replied without skipping a beat.

Once Long Yuetian heard that there was a problem with her project, she naturally was no longer focused on changing the tires of her car.

Of course, Cheng Yi did not want to go in Zhai Zhongshen’s car. However, if Long Yuetian was going, he didn’t want to give them an opportunity to spend time alone.

And thus, despite his unwillingness, Cheng Yi got into the car as well.

Zhai Zhongshen asked his driver to send Cheng Yi to his destination first.

Even though Cheng Yi did not want this to happen, he had no way to refuse this.

As the three of them sat in the spacious back seat of the Rolls Royce, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

As Long Yuetian was afraid to speak to Zhai Zhongshen, she decided to speak to Cheng Yi instead. This was because he was a friend who was roughly the same age as her. She felt no pressure speaking to him.

Long Yuetian took the initiative to ask Cheng Yi about their research project.

“For the time being, it’s hard to say whether it’s going well or not. Generally speaking, even any progress is considered good. After all, it’s completely unrealistic to develop a cure all at once. However, with the assistance and support of Lahaisen Hospital’s advanced medical equipment and technology, our research will definitely progress ten times faster than usual.”

But even so, Cheng Yi did not want to claim that they could definitely produce results.

“Ahh, it must be hard on you. After all, Yiling shouldn’t work overtime as she’s pregnant. All the running around and errands will be left to you,” Long Yuetian said.

“No no. It’s what I should do. After all, I’m a man. It’s only natural for me to look after Yiling and Sister En.”

“When the project is over, I will introduce you to some girls.”

In Long Yuetian’s opinion, Cheng Yi was a motivated young man. As the Long Heng Group involved themselves in the entertainment industry, she could introduce him to many beautiful and capable girls.

“It’s alright. I already like someone,” Cheng Yi replied with a bit of embarrassment.

“Oh? You already like someone?” Long Yuetian inquired curiously. “Since you’re such a good man, that girl must like you as well. Hopefully, the two of you can get married as soon as possible.”

Not for a moment did Long Yuetian think Cheng Yi liked her.

After all, she was a bit older than Cheng Yi. She also wasn’t as delusional as her father.

In addition to this, she didn’t believe her personality was suited to be someone’s girlfriend.

As Long Yuetian chatted with Cheng Yi, she completely ignored the presence of Zhai Zhongshen.
