Li Caiyi recalled the commotion she heard when she first arrived. When she listened to both of them arguing inside, could they be arguing about this?

"I'm sorry if this is too forward for me, but are you and Jingfei currently not on good terms?"

Shao Junfei didn't reply immediately and seemed conflicted. Li Caiyi waited for him to answer, but the silence was broken when another voice called out to her.

"Caiyi! There you are!"

Both of them jerked their head simultaneously to the source of the voice and found Shao Jingfei running over with a frown on his face.

It wasn't hard to tell that the frown was directed at Shao Junfei because he glared at him vigilantly before positioning himself beside Li Caiyi as if trying to defend her.

"Big Brother, what are you doing here?"

"What do you think? I was talking with Miss Li." Shao Junfei replied nonchalantly, ignoring the doubt on his brother's face.

"Jingfei, what are you doing here?" This time, it was Li Caiyi who asked him the question.

"You didn't come back even after so long. We thought something had happened to you." Shao Jingfei said with a hint of reprimand in his tone, making Li Caiyi grimace.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to take so long. There was an unforeseeable situation..."

"What situation?" Shao Jingfei stared at Li Caiyi and Shao Junfei alternately dubiously before nailing his accusatory eyes to the latter.

"Big Brother, are you hitting on one of our talents? I can't believe you are so bold to do that."

Shao Junfei sighed in annoyance. He didn't look annoyed even when the Chief Editor provoked him, but his patience towards Shao Jingfei seemed thin.

"Don't make trouble for Miss Li. You can ask for the details from her later."

Then, he shifted his gaze towards Li Caiyi and spoke more politely.

"It's been nice talking to you, Miss Li. Please take your time and think about what I told you before. I'll excuse myself first since I still have work to do."

Shao Junfei left without saying anything to Shao Jingfei, so after he left, the young man immediately stared at Li Caiyi, demanding an explanation.

" Okay, what was that just now? What did the two of you talk about?"

"Why are you so agitated? And your brother really didn't do anything you think about."

"I'm not agitated." Shao Jingfei averted his eyes, but anyone could tell he was trying to hide something. Li Caiyi became even more curious about what happened between them.

"Hey, did you have a fight with your brother or something?"

"Where did that come from? Forget it. Let's just return to the room first."

Li Caiyi quickly stepped forward and walked beside him before she asked again, "Your brother helped me earlier. Because I met the Chief Editor."

Shao Jingfei immediately halted in his tracks and jerked his head towards her. His eyes widened in surprise and anxiety.

"What? He is here?! Did you talk to him?" Shao Jingfei asked while grabbing Li Caiyi's shoulders, catching her off guard.

"I thanked him for his help and asked him a few things. But why are you so flustered?" Li Caiyi asked in confusion.

Shao Jingfei noticed that he had overreacted and immediately retracted his hand. "What did you ask him, and what was his response?"

Li Caiyi felt that Shao Jingfei was behaving strangely, but she still answered his question. "I asked if he knew my novel. He didn't seem to remember about it. I'm not sure if he really is the one who recommended my book to the board of editors."

Shao Jingfei didn't know whether he should feel worried or relieved hearing that.

Judging from Li Caiyi's reaction, it was safe to assume that she hadn't suspected anything. But since she had met with that toad Chief Editor, he was sure it was only a matter of time before that toad would appear in front of her and pester her again.

How could an opportunistic toad like him miss out on the chance to benefit from Li Caiyi's relationship with Meng Renshu?

'No, wait. Why am I so concerned about this anyway? This is not even my fault or my business!' Shao Jingfei questioned himself inwardly.

Because of what Meng Renshu said the other day about how he trusted Shao Jingfei to take care of Li Caiyi, he unconsciously felt the need to guard her. What kind of dark magic was that?

Li Caiyi sensed Shao Jingfei's restlessness and immediately thought of something. "Oh, if you are worried about me, then don't be. That Chief Editor is difficult to handle, but Director Shao helped me and chased him away."

"Ah, so it's like that?"

"Yeah, so don't forget to apologize to your brother later. You are accusing him unjustly."

"What did I do? He didn't even take me seriously," Shao Jingfei grumbled before adding, "But now that you met with the Chief Editor, you have an idea what kind of person he is, right? You should avoid him if you can. A lot of other employees here don't want anything to do with him either."

Li Caiyi nodded. "Yeah, I'll be more careful next time."

"But what was that serious atmosphere between you and my big brother? What did you guys talk about?"

"Oh. He invited me to the company's annual party."

"Ah. Is that so? Good for you." Shao Jingfei replied nonchalantly. He appeared indifferent about that event, unlike Shao Junfei, who seemed hopeful about his attendance.

"Aren't you going to join this party, Jingfei?"

"No, I'm not interested. You can go if you want, though. I also wanted to tell you about this later, but since you have heard about it, just tell me if you decide to go, and I'll prepare the invitation for you."

Li Caiyi didn't know if he seriously felt like that or just wanted to brush her off. However, Shao Junfei had helped her, so she naturally would exert some effort to help him too.

"Come with me. I don't want to be alone at that party."

"Then, don't go."

"But I want to meet more people in this field. Who knows if this connection will help me in the future."

"Then go by yourself."

Shao Jingfei's rejection was clear and firm, leaving her no space for persuasion. She knew he could be very stubborn, but Li Caiyi couldn't back down easily either.

"As my editor, shouldn't you at least introduce me to the other talent you scouted? Why are you so adamant in refusing?"

"I can't tell you that," Shao Jingfei exhaled a long breath. "There is someone I don't like to meet at that party. Sorry, but you are on your own this time."

"Someone you don't like to meet? Who is that?"

Shao Jingfei flicked on Li Caiyi's forehead lightly, making the latter pout in annoyance. "What was that for?"

"Why are you so curious? Did my brother say something to you? If yes, then you don't have to listen to him. Tell him I won't go even if the police drag me there, let alone you."

Shao Jingfei snorted. "Don't say a word about this anymore, okay? Let's go back to the room."

Li Caiyi couldn't say anything anymore when Shao Jingfei had already said that much. She was disappointed she couldn't help Shao Junfei more, but Shao Jingfei was her friend. If even a person as easy-going as him refused to go, there must be a good reason behind that.

"Wait for me!"

In the end, she decided she should just let the matter go and entered the room with Shao Jingfei.
