But Zhao Tingxing was agile and dodged. Dafang wanted to chase after him again, but Gu Ruandong stopped him.
“Although you didn’t do anything useful, since my sister-in-law agreed to this for me, I’ll pay the money. I can’t let her take the blame.”
Zhao Tingxing couldn’t help but clap and applaud: “You’re righteous, but I don’t look down on those few stinky coins of yours.”
“I don’t care if you look down on me, I paid for this with my sister-in-law’s money.”
Originally, the big boat had been planning to leave the Mori Prefecture, but it decided to stay for two more days to resolve this matter before departing.
Zhao Tingxing knew it all along. When Lu Yaoyao agreed to give him shares, he expected her not to follow through. However, he hadn’t anticipated that they wouldn’t be bothered at all and instead would be touched by it themselves.
He couldn’t understand where they were getting emotional.
I don’t understand this so-called brotherhood between them at all.
He and Da’an are brothers, aren’t they? Or even twins? That’s a pretty close relationship, right?
But they are enemies who would kill each other, wanting to destroy the other.
This time, Dan was caught in a small border town. He fully cooperated with the police investigation, handing over all of Dan’s criminal records without any hesitation, leaving him with no chance of redemption. For the rest of his life, he will only be able to stay in prison.
At that time, Han Li was also there, watching the whole thing with a cold eye.
Hàn Lì and Dá’ān knew each other since they were young, but Dá’ān was taken abroad later on, and they lost contact.
He sneered: “So you still fantasize about getting back together with me? I advise you not to daydream.”
“Zhao Tingxing, you’re actually quite pitiful. You’ve lost the ability to experience even the most basic human emotions. Without that capacity, you’re nothing more than a tool for making money.”
“That’s not enough,” Han Li added, his voice heavy with disdain. “To say you use tools to make money is inaccurate. You lack the complete evolution of a human being. You are still an animal at heart, a wolf. Besides your maternal instincts, you are devoid of human emotions.”
Though they hadn’t been together for many years, having grown up together from childhood, she understood Zhao Tingxing’s most essential qualities better than anyone else.
To say he was an un-evolved wolf was to poke at Zhao Tingxing’s sensitive spot again. At that moment, he truly resembled a wolf, almost baring his teeth and lunging at him.
But how could he not have evolved into a human? He controlled himself, didn’t let the werewolf inside him run out and bite her.
How could he possibly lack human emotions? He showed respect to his foster mother, had feelings of fondness and pity for Lu Yaoyao whom he spent a short time with, and even loved her once. How could he be devoid of human emotions?
Han Li shook her head, she knew him too well, so she didn’t need him to speak, she already knew what he was thinking, “That’s just an animal’s instinct, for me, it’s even more of an animal’s instinctual desire for intercourse.”
Han Li couldn’t help but tremble as she spoke, the animalistic urge to mate that had always been a part of her relationship with him. The word, once unspoken, now hung in the air between them, a stark and undeniable truth.
“Mating?”
This word touched Zhao Tingxing’s excited point, and that day he slept with Han Li again.
Maybe he really is just an animal. The word fits.
Han Li was still working for Gu Ruandong at the Gu Group, but she mostly handled her own company’s affairs. When she saw him looking for Gu Ruandong just now, she only glanced at him. She dressed impeccably and looked like a successful person in front of others, elegant and refined. But in her eyes, she saw him more and more clearly as an animal that hadn’t evolved successfully.
The word “animal,” when used against someone else, is an insult, but when used about Zhao Tingxing, it’s just a descriptive term, neutral.
Zhao Tingxing walked out of Gu Ruandong’s office and happened to see Han Li again. She ignored his existence and did her own thing.
A while later, a message came in on the phone: Room 2203 at the hotel, 10 PM.
What he sent was as simple and direct as soliciting prostitution. Han Li didn’t even reply, just deleted it directly, not wanting to humor him.
On this side, the big ship is being persistent and wants to go back to the villa with Gu Ruandong, and has even called his company’s finance department to transfer the money.
Regarding money matters, Gu Ruandong followed his lead, willing to spend whatever he wanted. However, when it came to going home with him, he outright refused and told him to immediately return to the southwest.
The Great Boat could only unwillingly let the driver take him to the airport.
When Gu Ruandong got home, Yaoyao was changing Xiao Gurulu’s diaper. She wore a simple and plain home dress. Because she needed to hold the baby and breastfeed, she didn’t wear makeup, but her skin was fair and her lips were rosy. She had a different kind of charm. Seeing him come back, she smiled and said, “Come here and change the baby.”
His family had his mother, Cui Ping, and several nannies. This round didn’t require him and Yaoyao to personally do these trivial things, but Yaoyao insisted, and as long as he was free at home, he had to participate personally. She said that this would deepen their relationship, of course, and he also enjoyed it, even more skilled than her.
Just like that, I changed Xiao Guru’s diaper in a few swipes and handed it to the aunt. Then, I said to her, “Follow me.”
He walked away without expression and went upstairs first.
Lu Yaoyao was a little uneasy, thinking that it must be because she called Zhao Tingxing that made him angry.
He shut the bedroom door behind him, and before he could react, she launched herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and acting all cute. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
Gu Ruandong saw through her little tricks at a glance, so he put on a stern face and said, “Give me your phone.”
Lu Yaoyao reluctantly took out her phone and handed it to him.
He opened her phone and took a look at her contact list and WeChat friend list. There was Zhao Tingxing in both, which was another way to get in touch with him besides the one he already had.
He didn’t say a word, just handed his phone to YaoYao and then stared at her with his head down.
That look, Lu Yaoyao understands it very well!
She carefully took the phone, reluctantly asking, “Deleted?”
A fleeting smile crossed Gu Ruandong’s eyes, but he still didn’t speak. He just stared at her. In Yaoyaoyao’s view, this was coercion. She thought she was spineless and had no backbone.
“I deleted WeChat, but I’ll keep my phone number for now. If there’s anything we need to communicate about.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt the hand on her waist tighten its grip.
This man, he’s threatening, just a look or a move and she trembles. She says: “Anyway, once this is all over, I’ll delete his contact information completely.”
“That’s it,” Gu Ruantong finally spoke. “Should we give him shares or money?”
“Give him…” she answered reflexively, and then suddenly realized,
Why would she be afraid of Gu Ruandong?
Why should I listen to him and delete Zhao Ting’s account? <<<
What is she doing this for?
Werewolf is just an adjective, okay?
