"Maybe they're really just friends, or perhaps distant relatives."

"That's possible too, hosting a meal is reasonable."

"But the problem is, the guy is so handsome. The two of them standing together seem quite compatible. Could he be her husband?"

"Not very likely. At someone like Boss Liang's level, how could she marry a courier?"

"But you have to know, Boss Liang already has a child. Look at how close they are. Normal people wouldn't be like this."

"If that's the case, this news is explosive!"

"Boss Liang is truly a role model for us. Someone so impressive, yet married such an ordinary husband. We little people, who always pick and choose, aren't worthy!"

"Exactly, since Boss Liang chose an ordinary courier, we shouldn't be picky either, we should learn from her."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go meet the blind date my mom set up for me tomorrow."

Meanwhile, the two of them were already seated in a side hall, Lin Yi said with a smile:

"Bringing me here makes me seem like the focus of attention."

"Your outfit is a bit of a drag." Liang Ruoxu said proudly:

"I'll get you some food, wait here."

Straightening her clothes, Liang Ruoxu got up to get food for Lin Yi.

A few minutes later, seeing Liang Ruoxu carrying one large and one small portion of food back, the cafeteria discussions grew even livelier.

Many men also joined the conversation.

"This confirms their relationship, Boss Liang personally getting food for him, they must be a couple."

"It's not about despising the poor and loving the rich, but they should be well-matched, right? Simply matching in looks might cause issues later." A male colleague said.

"Then it can only be understood that Boss Liang also cares about looks. After all, she is a woman, not like men who think so much."

"Now this is the only possibility. Sigh, being handsome is indeed an advantage."

"Let's stop discussing this and eat quietly. If Boss Liang hears, we won't be able to finish eating."

From the interactions between the two, everyone in the cafeteria had already guessed their relationship.

But to Liang Ruoxu, these things were insignificant.

This carefree attitude is something others can't compare to.

In the side hall, watching Liang Ruoxu return with two plates, Lin Yi was about to take them from her.

But then his phone rang in his pocket.

He saw it was a call from Elder Lu.

"Elder."

When he answered, Lin Yi greeted him.

"What have you been busy with lately? Haven't heard from you."

"In a year or two, the child will start kindergarten, and they're all outrageously expensive. I found a job delivering packages to earn some tuition fees."

"It's not just delivering packages, right? Did you set up a research institute?"

"Huh?"

Elder Lu's words made Lin Yi nervous.

"You know already?!"

"I heard about it. What are you up to this time?"

Lin Yi remained silent for a few seconds, not planning to hide it from Elder Lu.

He was someone Lin Yi could completely trust.

"This can't be explained over the phone. I'll come find you later."

"Are you in Yanjing?"

"Just arrived, currently at Mi Li's workplace." Lin Yi said.

"Wait for me there, I'll send someone to pick you up."

"Okay."

After briefly exchanging words, Lin Yi hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Liang Ruoxu also returned with the food and sat beside Lin Yi.

"Who called? Didn't even come to help me."

"Elder Lu, has something to discuss with me. We'll meet up later."

"Is it urgent? Shouldn't you go first?"

"You have to prioritize things in these situations, let him wait. I don't have time for him now."

"Right, you're the smooth talker." Liang Ruoxu smiled knowingly, "Try the pickled meat, it's really good."

"Mm."

"Did Elder Lu say what it was about?"

"Didn't I start a research institute before? Seems like Elder Lu found out. We'll meet later and I'll gauge his thoughts."

Lin Yi bit into a piece of the meat as he spoke:

"If he supports me, I'll be more confident."

Liang Ruoxu knew a bit about the research institute.

Given Lin Yi's current status, doing such a thing was indeed unexpected.

But as he said, if supported by someone, it wouldn't be a problem.

"I have two boxes of good tea in my office, take them later." Liang Ruoxu said:

"Elder Lu always complains to my grandpa, saying every time you visit, you only bring milk and apples, costing no more than 200 bucks."

"That old man doesn't hold back, spilling the beans about everything."

Liang Ruoxu shot Lin Yi a playful look.

"I think it's you who doesn't hold back, daring to give Elder Lu just milk and apples. What are you thinking?"

"The child is about to start school, and our household has a son. With so many expenses, we can't afford to waste money." Lin Yi said seriously.

"If you really think that, go to my dad or mom's office, there're lots of good things they don't use anyway."

"But I'm afraid your mother-in-law might kick me out."

"Then be careful, my mom wears high heels."

Lin Yi laughed heartily, and Liang Ruoxu looked at him with a smile, like a couple in love.

After discussing work, the two shifted their conversation to life and family.

When it comes to raising children, Liang Ruoxu was quite knowledgeable and methodical, and the child was obedient, never sparing the rod when necessary.

In this regard, Ji Qingyan doesn't compare. Even in mischief, she could never bring herself to hit.

Since they were going to meet Elder Lu later, Liang Ruoxu sped up her eating pace, finishing in less than 20 minutes.

"Let's head back to my office first. Leave when the car arrives."

"Alright."

The two cleared their trays and left the cafeteria. At this time, the other employees were also leaving one after another.

Just then, Lin Yi's phone rang again.

"Come down, we're at the entrance."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Lin Yi said to Liang Ruoxu:

"I'll go down first. I'll come find you after the business is done."

"Mm."

Standing in front of Lin Yi, Liang Ruoxu straightened his collar.

"Drive safely, don't act like a reckless fool."

"Don't worry, I know."

After a few more reminders in Lin Yi's ear, Liang Ruoxu let him leave.

Heading downstairs alone, Lin Yi became the focus of everyone's attention.

Some busybodies kept an eye on him, whispering among themselves.

"A handsome face really can change fate. Who would've thought a courier would be our boss's other half?"

"It sounds incredible. If only I were a bit handsomer, maybe I'd transcend class and find an impressive girlfriend."

"Let's not speak of it, we just don't have the conditions."

"But I'm curious, which courier company do you think he's from?"

"There's no obvious logo on him. We'll know once we see the delivery van."

"Oh my, look at that car at the door, it's got black lettering on a white base."

"Black lettering on white is nothing, you have to look at the pass! In all these years of work, I've never seen one."
