Lu Yudong's mixed feelings of guilt and resentment lingered until the next day.

At noon, Jiang Ci had planned to have hot spicy soup with Han Lan, but unexpectedly, they ran into Lu Yudong and a group of executives returning from an inspection.

The encounter was awkward for Jiang Ci, especially with her complicated emotions towards him. She lowered her gaze and deliberately hid behind Han Lan.

As Lu Yudong walked past her, he remarked, "Why do you keep avoiding me? And no more hot spicy soup."
