The scent of the girl's faint fragrance filled his nose. Qin Beiting's lips curved into a smile, and he raised his hand to embrace her.
"Let's start dating after the new year," Yu He said, burying her face in his neck.
Her birthday was on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she would be an adult after the holiday, free to date.
Qin Beiting's heart fluttered at her words. "I suddenly don't want to go back."
"..."
Yu He didn't want him to leave either, but he was still a Qin family member.
"Will the Ye family accept me as a live-in son-in-law?" Qin Beiting teased.
Yu He let go of him. "You should go."
Qin Beiting: "..."
"I'm really leaving," he said reluctantly.
"Goodbye," Yu He said, picking up the pet carrier and entering the yard.
The living room lights were on. As Yu He opened the door, she bumped into Ye Qichen.
"Why did you suddenly come back?" Ye Qichen asked in surprise.
Returning in the middle of the night, carrying a luggage... pet bag?
"Did you and Qin Beiting have a fight?" he asked again.
"No. He's going back to the Qin family for the new year, and I'm coming back to stay for a while," Yu He replied.
"Oh..." Ye Qichen responded.
He seemed rather regretful.
Yu He: "..."
Qin Beiting stood at the entrance, watching her back until she went inside, then turned and got into the car.
"Take me to Tianque," he said.
Chen Dong hesitated, "The family head..."
"Never mind him," Qin Beiting said coldly.
Chen Dong had no choice but to shut his mouth and drive towards Tianque.
Upon returning to Tianque, Qin Beiting casually took off his coat and entered the study.
In the study, four monitors were set up on his desk. He sat down, turned on the computer, and the four monitors lit up.
He brought up the data on the crow's attack on Xingque's firewall, sent by Beiming. His left and right hands moved across two keyboards, typing rapidly, as different lines of code flashed across the four screens.

Meanwhile.
Qi Yuanyuan worked for three days and three nights, and finally produced several samples according to the prescriptions and methods mentioned in the nameless divine doctor's paper.
She called over the housekeeper and handed her a pill. "Fang Yi, you can try this medicine for bone hyperplasia."
"Thank you, Miss!" Fang Yi was overjoyed.
Fang Yi knew that Qi Yuanyuan was the nameless divine doctor, and with the recent hot trend of her paper on specially formulated medicines, netizens were all saying that this special medicine was a cure for all ailments.
Her lumbar disc herniation had plagued her for years, and she couldn't wait to try this miraculous special medicine.
Fang Yi took the medicine and immediately poured herself a glass of water and swallowed it.
Qi Yuanyuan stayed in the living room and observed Fang Yi doing housework. After an hour, seeing no abnormality, she asked, "Fang Yi, how do you feel?"
Fang Yi twisted her waist from side to side. "My waist feels warm. Before, my waist would ache terribly just from mopping the floor, but now I don't feel anything at all. Miss, this is truly a divine medicine!"
Seeing the effect, Qi Yuanyuan was very happy. She had succeeded!
Making medicine was much easier for her than acupuncture.
"Here are six more pills. Take one a day for seven days as a course of treatment," Qi Yuanyuan handed her a small medicine bottle.
"Thank you, Miss! You are too kind. I will definitely take it on time!" Fang Yi said ecstatically.
Qi Yuanyuan smiled and said nothing, turning back to the study to write down the prescription and production method, and record Fang Yi's condition after taking the medicine for drug testing observation.
As soon as she finished recording, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and answered.
"Miss, the patent for the special medicine you released and the market permit have been processed. When will our medicine start production?" the person on the other end asked.
He was Zhao Wei, the general manager of a pharmaceutical company under the Qi Group.
He had rushed to register the patent for the medicine as soon as the paper by the nameless divine doctor was published.
His efficiency was high. All that was left was to obtain the prescription, start production, submit it to various departments for testing, and launch it to the market.
Qi Yuanyuan had been hesitant at first, but seeing how effective it was for Fang Yi, she knew the prescription was not a problem.
Moreover, since this prescription came from the nameless divine doctor, and the ingredients were all nourishing herbs, even if the pills she made couldn't cure the illness, they wouldn't harm the body.
Thinking this, she decided it was acceptable to start with small-scale production to capture the market.
"I'll send you the prescription. Start with a small batch. Don't make too much; scarcity creates value," Qi Yuanyuan said.
"Okay. This is your patent, Miss. No one in the world will be able to develop such a special medicine. This will be a glory for the Qi family to be recorded in history," Zhao Wei praised.
Qi Yuanyuan was elated by his flattery. Since she had been mistaken for the nameless divine doctor, she had received more praise and affirmation than ever before.
Furthermore, the nameless divine doctor had not exposed her for such a long time, which made her increasingly addicted to this feeling of being flattered.
After Zhao Wei offered a few more compliments, Qi Yuanyuan hung up the phone with a bright smile. Just then, a MMS message from an unknown number arrived on her phone.
She clicked on it, and the smile on her face instantly froze.
The MMS contained several candid photos of a handsome man and a beautiful woman entering and leaving a hotel together, and under the night sky, the man intimately kissing the woman's forehead.
The protagonists in the photos were none other than Qin Beiting and Yu He.
The smile vanished from Qi Yuanyuan's face. She had been working hard to become better and more accomplished, all to attract Qin Beiting.
But he only had eyes for that vixen!
At this moment, another message from an unknown number arrived:
[Miss Qi, interested in chatting about my uncle? Qin Xinhong.]
Qi Yuanyuan immediately replied with four words: [Time and place.]
--
Yu He was unaware that her prescription had already been patented by someone from Qi Yuanyuan's side.
Early in the morning, after settling her little pet pig, she changed into a more neutral outfit, put on a fisherman's hat and mask, packed her laptop and the remaining pills, and took a taxi to Xingque.
The previous night, before going to bed, she had arranged to meet the Lord of Xingque Hall in person at Xingque.
The doorman, upon hearing that she had an appointment with the Hall Master, directed her to the front desk, where a receptionist led her through a winding path to a place called "Tianyi Pavilion" behind the auction tower.
"Nameless Divine Doctor?" Beiming, waiting in the main hall, called out when he saw her different attire.
Yu He saw that only Beiming was present and frowned slightly, saying in a low voice, "I hope you've been well."
She subtly scanned the surroundings and saw a figure sitting in an official's chair on a Huanghuali wooden screen.
Beiming recognized her voice and couldn't help but look at Yu He a few more times.
Unlike before, when she was completely covered by her cloak, her casual wear clearly indicated she was a woman, and her figure seemed somewhat familiar!
He really wanted to see the face under the mask, but with the previous experience, he restrained himself and asked, "Did you bring the items?"
Yu He took out a small red brocade box from her bag and tossed it to him.
Beiming opened it, took a look, and then sniffed it. He said, "Is the Nameless Divine Doctor genuinely cooperating? To my knowledge, your medicine has already started production."
