Zhao Tingxing now clearly understands his own feelings. Good feeling, liking, and love are completely different. He used to have a good feeling for Lu Yaoyao, and now seeing her, he still does. But now he understands that good feeling doesn’t differentiate between genders or even whether it’s a person or an object. It’s like the delicate displays in a shop window; you can’t help but glance at them a few extra times.
In his eyes, Lu Yaoyao was probably just such a person: well-off, beautiful, kind, and married well. The disparity between people was like heaven and earth.
Like Lu Yaoyao, who was born into a life of pampering; like Han Li, whose birth sealed her fate of hardship.
Thinking of this, a twinge of bitterness suddenly arose in his heart. An idea flashed through his mind: if her first half of life was destined to be bumpy, he couldn’t change that. Then, for her second half, he wanted to do everything in his power to let her live the same kind of life.
If you can’t do it, just learn. So when Lu Yaoyao arrived, he stayed even longer. He wanted to see how Gu Ruandong would coax his wife.
“These days, Yao Yao has the house chef prepare lunch and then have her driver bring it over to keep her company with Gu Ruan Dong during mealtimes. When she suddenly saw Zhao Ting Xing in the office, she kindly offered, “Shall I get you a plate?”
Gu Ruandong frowned slightly: “I’m done talking to Mr. Zhao.” His words implied that the other person could leave.
But Zhao Tingxing still sat there, saying cheerfully, “Ms. Lu is still as thoughtful as ever. You order, anything you choose will do for me.”
Lu Yaoyao then called the assistant in to get Zhao Tingxing a portion.
The assistant went downstairs to buy the food personally and soon returned carrying a meal box. The three of them sat in Gu Ruandong’s office break area to eat.

This tone has no deterrent effect.
Zhao Tingxing said deliberately from the side, “Miss Lu didn’t pick and choose when she was pregnant in the mountains last time. She ate whatever the old lady made.”
I intended to hit Gu Ruandong’s weak spot, but I ended up saying that the old woman had hurt herself.
Gu Ruandong: “I haven’t settled the score with you yet for tying Yaoyao to the mountain.”
“Haven’t I already made up for my past wrongs? Wasn’t being driven into bankruptcy by you enough?”
“That’s your own doing.”
Lu Yaoyao put down her chopsticks: “Either you guys talk, or I leave?”
Gu Ruandong smiled and reached out to touch her head: “Eat.”
Gu Ruandong and Zhao Tingxing chatted, but they were carefully observing YaoYao’s expression. Seeing that she was in a good mood today, Gu Ruandong picked up a piece of fish meat and said, “Open your mouth.”
I personally feed her meals, ensuring she eats some meat to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Please download the novel from a love reading platform to access the latest content.
Lu Yao Yao was forced to open her mouth and took a bite, chewing slowly in her mouth. Gu Ruan Dong patiently waited by the side, ready to feed her another piece.
Originally, Zhao Tingxing was observing with a learning attitude. When he saw Lu YaoYao’s coquettish appearance, Han Li should never learn this in his lifetime; as for Gu Ruandong’s patience, Zhao Tingxing feared he would never learn it in his next life. Forget it, forget it, don’t try to imitate others. His woman has her own unique characteristics.
Gu Ruandong and Yaoyao were usually very affectionate, but they rarely acted like this. Now was a special time, and since she didn’t have an appetite for anything lately and might be malnourished, he slowly coaxed her to eat, taking it one bite at a time.
When did Zhao Tingxing leave? Gu Ruantong and YaoYao didn’t even notice. They only discovered he was gone after finishing their meal.
Zhao Tingxing is a doer. Seeing the couple Gu Ruandong, he suddenly felt like Han Li in broad daylight, so he drove straight to her company.
Hani just got back from meeting clients in the morning. She parked her car in the garage and saw another identical car parked next to hers. Zhao Tingxing was sitting in the driver’s seat, with his window open, looking at her.
She suspected that the company parking space and the one next to her house were both bought by him. She thought that whenever he wanted to park his car, these two spaces would always be empty.
She got out of the car, and Zhao Ting also got out.
She was carrying a laptop in her hand, he was holding a phone in his, and they walked side by side towards the elevator. But neither greeted nor spoke to each other, leaving Han Li feeling like she wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start.
As they entered the elevator, heading from the basement to the first floor, a group of people suddenly rushed in. It was lunchtime ending, and everyone was eager to get back to work. The two were squeezed to the very inside. Han Li, wearing high heels, was jostled sideways. Zhao Tingxing immediately took her computer bag, turned around, faced her, and shielded her from the crowd by standing with his back to the outside.
Han Li leaned inward as much as possible, trying to avoid contact with him. He was so tall and imposing, standing there completely shielding her. She heard him mutter under his breath: “What kind of company is Cheng Shaofan running? There are so many people here.”
Han Li was speechless and kept her head down, ignoring him and waiting for the elevator to empty.
He went on to say, “Or you could move to our office building. That way it would be convenient to pick up and drop off Han Zhaoyi, and my environment there is better than this.”
She ignored the suggestion, looking up to see how many floors were ahead. But as soon as she looked up, Zhao Tingxing kept his head down, waiting for her answer. Their gazes met at close range, and Zhao Tingxing’s breath hitched slightly. Han Li shifted her neck slightly, peering past him over his shoulder at the elevator numbers.
Zhao Ting’s posture remained motionless, but all he could see was the black diamond earring on her ear. It was delicate and intricate, making her ears appear small and white. He also noticed the elegant length of her neck below her ear, carrying her unique fragrance. At that moment, Zhao Ting had only one thought: to bite her ear, to nibble at her slender neck. His mouth felt dry, his heart pounded, and he cursed himself for being reckless. She had finally gotten used to him not being so repulsive.
Hàn Lì wasn’t oblivious to the feeling of his hot breath on her neck, but she kept her hands braced against the back wall of the elevator, focusing on the numbers scrolling above.
It just had to be during the peak lunchtime rush, every floor was stopped, every floor had people getting off, and her office was on the top floor. A few minutes felt like an eternity, her palms were completely soaked in sweat.
Finally reaching the floor where her office was located, there were almost no people left in the elevator. She walked past him, standing by the elevator door waiting for it to open. As soon as the doors opened, she strode towards her own office, trying to appear calm and composed.
After entering the office, she instinctively wanted to close the door, but it was blocked from the outside. Zhao Tingxing pulled the door open and raised his hand, “Don’t you want your computer anymore?”
It was only then that Han Li realized he had been flustered, so flustered that the computer somehow ended up in his hands at some point.
She reached out to grab the strap of her laptop bag, but Zhao Tingxing held on tightly and wouldn’t let go. She pulled slightly, but it didn’t budge. She then looked up at him, wondering what he was doing?
