Why did she cry in Chapter 314?
Mo Yilan's heart suddenly started racing. She glanced at her colleague with a guilty conscience and, sure enough, met her colleague's gossipy gaze.
"Cough..." She felt a little awkward and raised her hand to cover her mouth. "He might need to see me. I'll go downstairs and check."
My colleague gave me a knowing look and said, "I know~"
Mo Yilan rolled her eyes at him, moved the computer off her lap to the side, opened the car door and got out.
"Yilan." Jiang Baishen smiled warmly at her, but you could still see that his face was a little pale, probably because he hadn't recovered from what he had seen in court.
Mo Yilan had been working the whole time and vaguely heard some things from the live stream. She felt regret and worry about Xiao Leng's condition, but in the end, she didn't see it with her own eyes and wasn't subjected to such a strong visual impact.
"Ahem..." Mo Yilan raised her hand to smooth her hair, as if trying to hide her panic. "Is something the matter?"
"Hmm~" Jiang Baishen nodded. "Do you have time tonight?"
"Hmm?" Mo Yilan asked, puzzled, but replied anyway, "I need to go back to the station to sort out a lot of things, so I'm not entirely sure."
Jiang Baishen was stunned for a moment, "Is that so..."
Seeing that he was not in good condition, Mo Yilan then said, seemingly with concern,
"Hmm...you seem very tired. Don't cook for me today. Go home and rest early."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baishen smiled helplessly.
"Actually, it's my parents. They know that today's reports about the Jiang family were at your behest, so they hosted a family dinner to thank you. Since you're so busy, I asked them to reschedule."
Mo Yilan was startled, a sudden, inexplicable sense of tension washing over her.
"No...no need, Uncle and Aunt are too kind. Presenting the truth is my job."
Jiang Baishen shook his head slightly, disagreeing with her words.
“There are many ways to present the truth, but you used the one that is most beneficial to the Jiang family, so you should be grateful.”
Mo Yilan pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and simply changed the subject again.
"We'll talk about it later. You look really tired. Go back and get some rest."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Baishen's eyes, but he quickly smiled knowingly.
"Are you worried about me?"
Mo Yilan was stunned, and her face immediately flushed.
"...You're my friend, so it's normal for me to care."
Jiang Baishen sighed helplessly, "Alright, friend, see you later."
Mo Yilan initially felt uneasy because he admitted to being a 'friend' so quickly, but then she heard him say "see you in a bit."
What does that mean?
She looked at Jiang Baishen with a puzzled expression.
Noticing her hesitation, Jiang Baishen couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her head.
"Since you're not coming to my house for meals, I'll naturally continue delivering food."
Mo Yilan stared wide-eyed in surprise, "You... what kind of obsession is this?"
Jiang Bai leaned closer mysteriously, and Mo Yilan's heart jumped into her throat, but for some reason, she didn't dodge.
Jiang Baishen was very satisfied with her reaction and spoke softly:
"The person I like is so outstanding, how can I not work hard to be worthy of them?"
Mo Yilan's heart skipped a beat.
Then, all she saw was his pure and innocent smile, like sunlight piercing through a lake, illuminating her previously dull and desolate world.
"I'm leaving now. See you later."
With that, Jiang Baishen turned and left.
Mo Yilan stared blankly at his back, feeling a pang of longing in her heart. She then opened the car door and sat back down.
My colleague's eyes widened, his face showing the excitement of someone who had just gotten wind of something. He watched as the usually intelligent and aloof beauty's face turned as red as if it had been ripened, and her expression resembled that of a bear. It was quite a rare sight, and he really wanted to take a picture of it.
Just do it.
With a 'click' sound and a flash of light, my colleague was startled and quickly put it away.
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?" Mo Yilan gritted her teeth.
"I want to live, I want to live!" her colleague replied without hesitation, quickly starting the car and driving away before giving her a chance to retaliate. Now she couldn't do anything, otherwise it could easily result in two deaths in one car.

Qin Wenzhou and Ji Ran also returned to the courtyard.
Qiu Lingyue was already standing at the door waiting to welcome her daughter home. When she saw Ji Ran get out of the car, she immediately went up and handed her daughter the freshly peeled apple skewer.
"Baby's back? Are you tired?"
Ji Ran took a bite of an apple. "I'm not tired, Mom."
Qiu Lingyue patted her daughter's head.
She had been out for quite some time, and her complexion wasn't exactly rosy; how could she not be tired? However, she wouldn't argue with her daughter, but instead glared resentfully at Qin Wenzhou, who was getting off the bus from the other side.
But upon closer inspection, they noticed that the old man's eyes were red-rimmed and swollen, and he seemed quite depressed.
Compared to him, the slight weariness on his daughter's face really didn't seem like much.
Tch, what a useless old man, always crying and whining, such a nuisance.
Qiu Lingyue took her daughter's arm and walked into the house, not intending to pay any attention to the person behind her.
Who knew that the person behind me would actually take the initiative to strike up a conversation today.
"Xiao Ran".
Ji Ran turned around in confusion.
"Where's Qi Mu?" Qin Wenzhou suddenly asked.
Ji Ran and Qiu Lingyue were both somewhat surprised. When had he ever asked Qi Mu this before?
Besides, Qi Mu is somewhere right next to Ji Ran anyway, either here or there, so why ask him suddenly?
Before Ji Ran could answer, Qiu Lingyue spoke first:
"Qi Mu just came back and started cooking. Do you think he's as unreliable as you?"
Despite the sarcastic remark, Qin Wenzhou showed no sign of grievance today, and instead hurried towards the kitchen.
Both mother and daughter were baffled.
"Ranran, what's wrong with this guy today?"
Ji Ran didn't know either, and shrugged, "Maybe what I saw in court was too stimulating, and I couldn't handle it psychologically."
Qiu Lingyue's eyes once again showed disgust.
Just as I expected, it's utterly useless.
"Then why is he in such a hurry to find Qi Mu?" Qiu Lingyue murmured.
Ji Ran didn't understand either, so he simply pulled Qiu Lingyue along and followed.
Qin Wenzhou had already arrived at the kitchen and, as expected, saw Qi Mu, who was preparing Ji Ran's favorite dishes at the counter as usual.
Looking at his tall and imposing back, Qin Wenzhou's eyes suddenly started to well up with tears again.
He took off his coat and put it on the cabinet, then put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
"I'll do it, you...you go and rest for a while."
Qi Mu was completely baffled by that one sentence.
Does he need to rest? How come he doesn't know that?
Qi Mu lowered his head, his gaze returning to the shrimp he was processing in his hands.
"Wait until I'm done."
Four simple words, spoken calmly and indifferently.
But Qin Wenzhou seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and turned his back to her and began to sob.
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Qin Wenzhou with an incredulous expression.
What did I do?
What happened to him?
Why are you crying?
Why are you crying like this?
At the same time, Ji Ran and Qiu Lingyue also witnessed this scene, and they both stared wide-eyed as if they had seen something extraordinary.
