At this moment, Ting, next to Zhao Dongxue, shrank her head like an ostrich, and her steps made no sound, afraid that Qin Yun would notice her.

She thought to herself, "Xue is quite fierce, don't notice me, don't notice me."

Seeing Zhao Dongxue directly admit her mistake, Qin Yun said nothing more.

Today, he chose to call the police directly, also to let Zhao Dongxue see the situation and understand the seriousness of the matter.

Seeing Qin Yun not speaking, Zhao Dongxue couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qin Yun, is our clothing store really closed? Won't it open again?"

She looked at Qin Yun with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, along with a trace of fear, worried about hearing unpleasant news.

Hearing this, Qin Yun shook his head and said, "No, the Celestial Fortune Clothing store will open again in the future."

Hearing Qin Yun say this, Zhao Dongxue's eyes brightened.

This brother of hers is so capable; once he says something, he'll surely make it happen.

"Alright, for the next couple of days, just relax and have fun."

Qin Yun looked at Zhao Dongxue with a serious expression again: "If that Cheng Xi bothers you again, just call me directly."

"I know." Seeing Qin Yun bring this up again, Zhao Dongxue didn't dare show impatience on her face, worried that Qin Yun would keep talking, she nodded quickly.

...

After seeing Zhao Dongxue and Ting off, it was already late, almost midnight. Qin Yun returned to where he lived.

Arriving outside his residential area, he was taken aback.

At the entrance stood a tall girl with a ponytail, pacing outside the gate.

"Xiao Lan?"

Parking the car to the side, Qin Yun quickly walked up to her.

By late November, the temperature was already low. Tonight, it was unusually cold, dropping to six degrees.

Xiao Lan clearly looked a bit cold, her body slightly shivering.

Upon seeing Qin Yun, she quickly ran over.

"Qin Yun, you're back?" Her voice was clear, but her face showed obvious signs of worry.

"Why are you here?" Qin Yun asked.

That hint of worry quickly disappeared as Xiao Lan smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by."

She looked at Qin Yun and said, "I have nothing going on tonight, want to take a walk with me?"

After she learned about the pressure on Celestial Fortune Clothing from Cold Dew Clothing, she had been keeping an eye on the situation here.

Previously, when Celestial Fortune Clothing closed, she knew immediately.

She once opened a barbecue shop, but it ran at a loss, and she closed it before going to university.

Even though it was open for only about a month, she still felt bad when it closed for real.

Knowing that Qin Yun had opened so many clothing stores, operating them for a long time, and even designed a trademark, intending to make Celestial Fortune a chain clothing brand.

She knew the blood, sweat, and tears Qin Yun had put into it.

Now that the clothing store closed, she could only imagine how Qin Yun must feel.

Looking at the girl standing before him, Qin Yun felt a warm current surge in his heart.

Xiao Lan must have known his store closed and wasn't feeling well, so she came to comfort him.

He nodded, took off his coat, and put it on Xiao Lan. Then he fetched another coat from the car and put it on himself.

The two of them walked slowly along the road within the residential area, talking about things that happened at school.

Despite discussing many topics, Xiao Lan didn't bring up the clothing store.

At the start of the school year, their relationship had grown closer over a month, but it suddenly became distant afterward. Even when they saw each other at school, they just smiled, nodded, said a few words as if they were just ordinary friends.

"Qin Yun, did you know? One of our old professors is so cunning. At the beginning of the class, he called the roll, and a few students sneaked out. Toward the end, he called the roll again," Xiao Lan said with a mischievous smile.

Qin Yun laughed and replied, "We have such a teacher in our class too."

Students at Good University weren't all attentive during classes; many played on their phones, and skipping classes was common.

Now, it seemed like the two had returned to the closeness of earlier times.

They didn't know how long they talked or how far they walked. They didn't keep track of time until the early morning when they finally found a bench to sit on.

Sometime later, Xiao Lan's head gently leaned on Qin Yun's shoulder.

They gazed at the stars, the moon, and the brightest Venus, reminiscing about high school days.

...

The night passed quickly.

"Ah, did I fall asleep?" In the morning, Xiao Lan woke up, finding herself resting on Qin Yun's lap, covered by his coat, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

She looked at Qin Yun and hurriedly said, "Qin Yun, go back quickly and make some ginger tea; otherwise, you'll catch a cold easily."

Last night, they wandered until three or maybe four in the morning. After not seeing each other for a long time, it seemed like they had everything to talk about.

At night she fell asleep, and Qin Yun put his coat over her, exposing himself to the chill.

"It's alright, I'm in good shape," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Dew had settled on his hair, making it look a bit disheveled.

But with Qin Yun's current physical condition, a bit of cold really couldn't affect him.

Seeing Xiao Lan asleep last night, he looked at the time, and it was already past four in the morning, so he didn't wake her up.

"Xiao Lan, let's grab something to eat, then I'll take you home," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Neither of them mentioned last night's events, and after eating, Qin Yun took Xiao Lan home first.

They had walked for a few hours the previous night. Even though it was just a stroll and very slow, they had no idea how far they were from where Qin Yun lived, so they took a cab back.

After dropping Xiao Lan off, Qin Yun hailed another cab and went straight to the law firm.

Yesterday, Qin Lu told him that there were still some final procedures to handle.

Upon arrival, Zhang Yuqing happened to get out of a car driven by her boyfriend, Bai Hengshan.

"Qin Yun,"

As the car stopped and Bai Hengshan saw Qin Yun getting out of the taxi, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

After learning about Qin Yun's background, Bai Hengshan had made an effort to get to know him.

Now, having heard about Qin Yun's store closing, he wisely refrained from any brainless taunts.

Qin Yun was still so young, he might rise again in the future.

As for Zhang Yuqing, she glanced at Qin Yun, noticing his slightly wrinkled clothes and unkempt hair, and subtly knitted her brow.

She was a meticulous person who, no matter where she met clients or partners, always ensured her attire was neat and formal, which she considered an important part of taking work seriously.

In her eyes, Qin Yun appeared a bit "sloppy" now.
