80: Chapter 81: Two women and one man are in one room.

After the laughter subsided, Tang Guo suddenly turned serious. "Right, Tianxue, let's talk business. How exactly do you plan to execute your 'Yin Angel' project? Is there anything I can help with? Although my family is in electronics, I know a few top experts in medical equipment. If you need to import equipment or require technical support, I can help make the connections."

Mentioning "Yin Angel" made Yin Tianxue's eyes light up immediately, and her whole person radiated a confident and charming glow. She took out her tablet, pulled up the project proposal, and began to explain her vision and current progress to Tang Guo in detail. From the management structure of the Foundation to the selection of the hospital site and construction standards, and then to the formation of the expert team and the screening process for pediatric patients, she spoke clearly and with passion.

Tang Guo listened attentively, occasionally offering professional advice or additions. Both were highly intelligent and capable women; as they discussed their careers, their thoughts collided, sparks flew, and the atmosphere was intense and focused.

"...So, I want to make 'Yin Angel' a benchmark. It's not just about providing free surgeries, but about establishing a complete, sustainable medical aid and rehabilitation system." Yin Tianxue summarized at the end, her eyes shining with the light of ideals. "I hope that every child unable to smile due to cleft lip and palate can regain their confidence and happiness through our help."

Tang Guo looked at Yin Tianxue, her eyes full of admiration and pride. "Tianxue, you have really changed. The old you, while excellent, always felt like you were missing a bit of... worldly vitality and a sense of purpose. The current you has light in your eyes and fire in your heart. This 'Yin Angel' project is not just a form of compensation from Yu Bo, but a turning point for you to find your own worth. I support you, fully!"

A warm current surged through Yin Tianxue's heart as she held Tang Guo's hand. "Thank you, Guoguo. With those words from you, I feel much more confident."

"Between us sisters, there's no need for thanks." Tang Guo gripped her hand back, her tone firm. "Tianxue, remember, no matter what happens, no matter what the final outcome is between you and Yu Bo, you are not alone. You have me, your family, your career, and your ideals. Men are just the icing on the cake; you yourself are the most important thing. Don't wrong yourself or lose yourself for anyone."

Yin Tianxue nodded heavily, her eyes slightly warm. "Mm, I know."

That night, the two women talked a lot. They talked about the past, the future, their careers, relationships, and even touched upon intimate topics. In front of Tang Guo, Yin Tianxue completely let down all her defenses and pretenses, revealing a long-lost side of herself—the lively, playful, and even slightly willful side typical of a young girl. They laughed, they played, they teased each other, and encouraged one another.

...

Emerging from the restaurant, the night breeze carried the chill of late autumn. Both Yin Tianxue and Tang Guo had been drinking and had slight, tipsy flushes on their faces, but their moods were unprecedentedly relaxed and joyful.

"Let's go, my lady, I'll take you home." Tang Guo linked her arm with Yin Tianxue's and said with a grin, "By the way... I'll go and get to know the place. I want to see what kind of 'gilded cage' that brat Yu Bo has put you in."

Yin Tianxue chuckled and pushed her lightly. "What gilded cage or silver cage? It's just a normal apartment. But... are you really going to stay at my place tonight? Aren't you going home to see your parents?"

"I'll go back tomorrow, tonight I'll keep you company." Tang Guo winked at her. "What? Not welcome? Or... are you afraid I'll disturb the two-person world between you and Yu Bo?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yin Tianxue glared at her reproachfully, but her cheeks couldn't help but flush red again. "Stay if you want. It just so happens... I have a lot I want to talk to you about too."

The car drove into the High-end Residential Area. This was a quiet, high-end residential complex amidst the hustle and bustle, with a tranquil environment and tight security. Tang Guo looked at the beautifully designed detached villas passing by outside the car window and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, High-end Residential Area? That brat Yu Bo is certainly willing to spend money."

Yin Tianxue's face felt slightly warm, and she glared at her reproachfully. "You talk too much. We're here, get out of the car."

"The environment is quite nice." Tang Guo linked her arm with Yin Tianxue's and commented with a grin, "Quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, good privacy. It seems CEO Yu really knows how to pick a place to hide his beauty."

"What 'hiding his beauty', that sounds terrible." Yin Tianxue pushed her lightly, but a flush couldn't help but creep onto her face. She took out her key to open the door, and the warm yellow lights in the foyer automatically turned on, illuminating the spacious living room.

The interior decoration was in the modern minimalist style that Yin Tianxue liked, with a color palette dominated by high-end grey and off-white, accented with warm wood tones and exquisite artwork, appearing both high-end and retaining the warmth of a home. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was the night view of a meticulously maintained garden; inside, the lights were soft, and gentle music flowed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad taste." Tang Guo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the view outside, and turned back to wink mischievously at Yin Tianxue. "Simple and grand, yet not lacking warmth. It seems that brat Yu Bo really put some thought into pleasing you."

Yin Tianxue's face felt slightly warm, and she glared at her reproachfully. "You talk too much. What do you want to drink? Juice or water?"

"Warm water is fine, to help with the alcohol." As Tang Guo spoke, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a bouquet of fresh, vibrant red roses on the living room coffee table. Beside the bouquet sat an exquisite velvet box. "Oh, is this... another surprise?"

Yin Tianxue followed her gaze, a trace of awkwardness flashing across her face. She walked over, picked up the box, and opened it. Inside was an exquisite diamond bracelet, shimmering with tiny glimmers under the light. There was also a card in the box with Yu Bo's familiar handwriting: "To my angel. Celebrating the launch of the 'Yin Angel' project. Bo."

Tang Guo leaned in to take a look and whistled. "Not bad, Yu Bo, he really knows how to do things. This bracelet is a limited edition, right? Good taste."

Yin Tianxue closed the box, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift slightly. At this moment, the sound of a key turning in the door came from the entrance. Both of them turned their heads to look at the same time.

The door opened, and Yu Bo walked in. He was wearing a simple white shirt and grey dress pants, his sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, his collar slightly open. There was a trace of fatigue on his face, but upon seeing Yin Tianxue and Tang Guo, he immediately revealed a gentle smile.

"You're back?" He looked at Yin Tianxue first, his eyes gentle, then immediately turned to Tang Guo and nodded politely. "Miss Tang, welcome. Tianxue often mentions you; finally, we meet today."

Tang Guo looked him up and down, her eyes sharp and carrying a hint of scrutiny, but her face still wore a proper smile. "CEO Yu, I've long heard of your name. I came uninvited today; I hope I'm not disturbing you both?"

"How could you? You are Tianxue's best friend, you are always welcome." Yu Bo smiled gently and refinedly, his tone sincere. "Tianxue hasn't been in a good mood these past few days; having you come to keep her company is exactly what I hoped for."

As he spoke, he walked naturally to Yin Tianxue's side, took the water glass from her hand, and casually tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, his movements intimate and natural. "You must be tired, right? Your face is a bit flushed, did you drink?"

Yin Tianxue felt a bit uncomfortable due to his sudden intimacy, especially in front of Tang Guo. She subconsciously tilted her head away and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Guoguo is staying here tonight; you sleep in the guest room downstairs."
