After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"These are all the invoices for the first half of the year," the housekeeper said, presenting all the invoices. "The amount recorded and the invoice amount differ by several dozen yuan, but it's not a big problem. I have already paid for it all."

Liang Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just a few dozen dollars, you don't need to pay it back."

"That won't do. The imbalance in the accounts is my mistake, and I will definitely pay the price." The housekeeper said, and started to check other accounts with her.

Liang Tan had been busy all day and finally had a chance to relax with Cui Ling via video. But when he heard him start to report numbers in a boring way, he immediately began to feel drowsy.

She thought that the housekeeper could finish the report in just ten minutes because the household accounts were not many. However, he kept talking for an hour and there was no sign of him finishing. Liang Tan was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes. He had to hold on to interrupt her and said, "It's getting late. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow."

The housekeeper glanced at the time and saw that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. He immediately looked apologetic: "Sorry, Mr. Liang, I disturbed your rest."

"It's okay, it's okay. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. You go back first." After Liang Tan said this, he couldn't help but yawn.

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, left the invoice and left.

Liang Tan watched him walk out and close the door with sleepy eyes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After lying on the sofa to rest for a while, she stood up weakly and took off her clothes like a sleepwalker with her eyes half closed.

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when she came back from the company. She didn't have time to change her clothes and went straight to call Cui Ling, so she was still wearing a suit.

It was late spring, early summer, and the weather was warm but not hot. She had taken off her coat when she came back, leaving only her shirt, skirt and stockings. Now she stood on the ground barefoot, closed her eyes, put her hands into her skirt, and then took off her stockings bit by bit and threw them on the ground, and then unbuttoned her shirt.

One, two... the neat and serious shirt was unbuttoned bit by bit, and the snow-white skin flashed from the gap from time to time. When the buttons at the bottom were unbuttoned, the chest that was fully supported by a thin layer of cloth began to appear faintly.

She raised her head, stretched out her hand to pinch her sore shoulders and neck, sighed comfortably, and took off her shirt lazily. However, just when she took it off halfway, she turned her head as if she had sensed something, and was caught off guard by Cui Ling on the phone.

she:"!!!"

In just a moment, she was so frightened that she forgot to breathe. She held her breath and rushed over to put the phone upside down on the bed. Her face flushed and she asked angrily: "Why didn't you make a sound!"

"You won't let me." Cui Ling's clear voice came from the phone.

Liang Tan: “…”

Only then did she remember that she did not hang up the video and asked Cui Ling to keep her voice down and wait for her. Her already red face became even redder.

She collapsed internally, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She hurriedly put on her clothes and picked up her phone. She looked at Cui Ling in the video again. She was looking at the camera calmly the whole time. When she saw herself being picked up, she obediently called out, "Sister."

Liang Tan: “…”

It was a sunny day over there. The overly bright light made him look hazy and also obscured many details, such as his slightly red ears and his Adam's apple that rolled twice.

Seeing that he was as calm as before, Liang Tan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the embarrassment he felt was also reduced a lot. After clearing his throat, he asked, "How much did you see?"

“I saw it all.” Cui Ling answered honestly.

"...Forget it all!" Liang Tan said fiercely.

Cui Ling paused, and his mind suddenly flashed back to the curve of her calves when she bent over to take off her stockings, and the small red mole on her shoulder when she took off her shirt. His back suddenly tightened, and a strange feeling surged up from his lower abdomen. This feeling was so strange that he was at a loss for a moment.

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Liang Tan asked.

Cui Ling came back to his senses and asked seriously, "Why did you forget?"

Liang Tan was stunned, feeling that he was asked.

After struggling for a long time, she still couldn't think of the answer. Cui Ling looked at her frowning face, and the depression of not being able to go home during the summer vacation suddenly disappeared. He didn't delve into why this happened, but just told her honestly: "Sister is pretty."

"...What's so good about it?" Liang Tan was still in shock and asked casually after hearing this.

Then she saw Cui Ling was silent, and she immediately held her breath, fearing that he would point out which part of her body was beautiful. Fortunately, Cui Ling was quiet for a long time and didn't say anything.

Liang Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and after quickly comforting him, he hung up the video.

Cui Ling blinked slowly as she watched her phone automatically shut down due to lack of battery when the video ended.

"Cui Ling, it's time for class." Wu Chang came in from outside.

Cui Ling sat up straight and began to listen to the class. After the two-hour class was over, he followed Wu Chang to take a walk in the yard. The afternoon was his free creative time, and he could not rest until eight or nine in the evening.

His life was filled to the brim, so he had no time to recall everything in the video. However, when it was late at night and he fell into a deep sleep, he once again dreamed of Liang Tan taking off his clothes, but this time she was not in the video, but standing in front of him.

"Cui Ling, come here." She smiled gently, threw away her stockings and waved at him.

He looked at her with a smile on her lips, and a strange impulse surged up again...

The next morning, he woke up before the alarm went off. After opening his eyes, he sat on the bed, staring at his wet pajamas in a daze.

After coming abroad, he continued to study cultural subjects, and he studied more systematically than before. He had no problem with common sense, so when he saw the wet and cold pajamas, he guessed what was going on.

His physical functions were normal, but due to psychological problems, although his body had developed normally over the years, he had never had any physical impulses. This was the first time in his life.

Cui Ling turned his head and looked out the window. The sky was still pale. It should be around six o'clock in the afternoon in China at this time.

Liang Tan was sitting in the office, about to ask her assistant to order food for her, when she heard her cell phone ding. She paused, opened the phone, and saw a voice message from Cui Ling.

The voice was obedient and a little hoarse: "Sister, I have grown up."

Liang Tan: “?”

A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, but she soon began to enthusiastically praise him: "Cui Ling is awesome!"

Cui Ling's cheeks flushed as he listened to the voice message silently countless times. Then, he picked up his drawing board early in the morning and lowered his head to start his new creation.

Summer is coming soon, Wu Chang's exhibition is held as scheduled, and Cui Ling's work is also completed the day before the exhibition starts.

Still holding hands, but this time, it was the big hand holding the small hand, holding on tightly, with every muscle and skin exerting the strength.

Wu Chang looked at his work, his eyes welled up: "It's a great painting, you've really grown up..."

As Wu Chang's only disciple, Cui Ling's works were hung in the most conspicuous place in the exhibition hall. On the first day of his solo exhibition, it was reported by major media, and Cui Ling's name also appeared on major pages.

When the three words "Cui Ling" appeared in the domestic hot search, Liang Tan couldn't believe her eyes for a while, and looked again and again to confirm that it was him. When she saw him standing next to Wu Chang in a suit, and not flinching even when there were hundreds of media in front of him, her eyes became moist.

Inexplicably moved, yet inexplicably sour, on such an important day, she was not the one standing by his side. Liang Tan sniffed, forcibly suppressing this childish thought.

Most of the comments under the hot search were compliments, but occasionally there were sour comments. Liang Tan kept scrolling down, and when he saw someone saying that Cui Ling was ungrateful, he frowned.

Ten minutes later, Chandler's cell phone rang. He took a look at the unfamiliar number and subconsciously wanted to hang up, but finally pressed the answer button.

"Did you hire navy to slander Cui Ling?" Liang Tan asked without hesitation.

Qian De recognized the voice and asked angrily, "What does Mr. Liang mean by this? When did I hire a group of trolls to discredit Cui Ling?"

"It's either you or your wife, or your son," Liang Tan said with a sneer as he looked at the increasing number of similar comments under the trending search. "I'll give you an hour. If there are any more malicious attacks from the troll army after an hour, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"What a joke! Has Mr. Liang ever been polite to me before?" Qian De has been living like a stray dog ​​recently. He has been angry with Liang Tan for a long time. Now hearing her aggressiveness, he is so angry that his eyes are almost red.

Liang Tan sneered: "Of course I was polite to you before."

She paused for a moment, her eyes gradually darkening, "When Cui Ling was forcibly taken away by you, she was wearing a children's watch I bought for her."

"So what? What else can a kid's watch prove other than that he's mentally retarded?" Chandler retorted.

Liang Tan curled his lips: "Children's watches can't prove anything, but the recording function inside can prove everything."

Chandler was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale when he figured it out.

"Do you really think I don't know what you did to Cui Ling that night?" Liang Tan sneered, "If you don't want that recording to be exposed, then behave yourself and don't bother Cui Ling again in your life, otherwise I will ruin your reputation."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Chandler stared at his phone, speechless for a long time.

When Mrs. Qian came in, she saw that he looked distraught and immediately frowned in disdain: "Why haven't you gone to the company yet?"

"...Did you buy the navy to slander Cui Ling?" Qian De suddenly asked.

"Why, is it not possible?" Madam Qian glanced at him, her voice gradually becoming more and more resentful. "He has been eating and drinking for free in my house for so many years, and it's ok that he didn't even leave a dime for us, but he also let Liang Tan deal with us. How can I let such an ungrateful wolf get away with it!"

"Withdraw your navy immediately!" Chandler slammed the table and stood up.

Mrs. Qian was startled, but after coming to her senses, she straightened her chest and said, "What if I don't withdraw?! Do you know how to be a good uncle now? What were you doing before?"

"you!"

Qian De picked up the cup at hand and threw it at her. Mrs. Qian was so angry that her eyes turned red. She immediately picked up the vase and threw it back. The two of them soon started fighting. Qian Dabao, who heard the noise, came to cry and separate them. The whole family was in a mess.

An hour later, the navy that was trying to throw dirty water on Cui Ling stopped quietly.

Liang Tan looked through it several times and didn't see any monsters or ghosts, but he still asked someone to find a public relations team to keep a close eye on public opinion.

As soon as the solo exhibition ended, Cui Ling completely entered the art circle. His fame was so great that even Gu's partner wanted to buy one of his works through Liang Tan. Liang Tan experienced firsthand what it felt like to be a family member of a celebrity.

"Mr. Li has approached me several times, insisting that I act as a matchmaker for you. I really had no choice but to say that our relationship has faded, and he gave up," Liang Tan sighed, but his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. "After he went back, he probably felt that I was quite pitiful, so he didn't make it difficult for me for the second cooperation and directly agreed to sign the contract."

Cui Ling listened to her quietly, with fatigue in his eyes that could not be concealed. After he was exposed at Wu Chang's exhibition, he had countless activities. Although most of them were not open to the public, he was still more tired than the average person to deal with them in his current state.

Liang Tan talked alone for a while, and suddenly realized that he was not in good condition: "Ah, are you sleepy?"

“…I’m not sleepy.” Cui Ling answered firmly.

Liang Tan's mouth twitched: "Your eye bags are almost drooping to the corners of your mouth, and you still say you're not sleepy. Go and have a rest."

"Five more minutes." Cui Ling refused to hang up.

Liang Tan glanced at the length of the call, twenty-five minutes and a few seconds.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do you always insist on such trivial matters?"

Cui Ling raised the corners of his lips, indicating that he could still hold on.

He has been too busy recently and hasn't gotten enough rest. He has lost a lot of weight and become a little darker, but he is in good spirits. After losing his baby fat, he has gained a bit more charm of a mature man.

Liang Tan smiled and looked at his face. After a while, he said with emotion: "Half a year ago, if someone had told me that my Cui Ling would go out for social events and do news interviews, I would have thought that person was crazy... Now it seems that it was the right decision to let you follow Wu Chang. If you had always followed me, you would definitely not have grown so well."

Cui Ling blinked slowly and called her obediently, "Sister."

Liang Tan smiled and chatted with him for a few more words. Before he knew it, the call lasted more than 40 minutes. Liang Tan exclaimed belatedly, "It's been so long! You didn't even remind me. Go to bed quickly. I have to work too."

Since Cui Ling started to get busy, they changed the time of their calls to his evening and her daytime, so it was late at night for Cui Ling.

Liang Tan was about to hang up the phone, but Cui Ling suddenly said, "I did it for my sister."

Liang Tan was stunned.

"I grew up for my sister." Cui Ling looked at her seriously.

Liang Tan stared at him blankly, and after a long while, he raised the corner of his lips: "Okay, got it."

After hanging up the phone, she felt relieved and touched. The complicated emotions temporarily suppressed the feeling of loss that "my child has grown up and doesn't need me anymore."

She sighed for a while, then called her assistant in: "Have you booked the flight to Country Q?"

"The round-trip tickets have been booked." The assistant replied.

Liang Tan paused and asked, "What date did you book?"

"The negotiations will be held on the afternoon of the 24th, so we are scheduled to depart on the morning of the 23rd."

Liang Tan thought for a moment and said, "You guys book the 23rd, and change mine to the 19th. I need to go meet someone in advance."

The assistant nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment before leaving, and spoke cautiously: "Mr. Liang..."

"Hmm?" Liang Tan looked up.

The assistant coughed and said, "The person you are going to meet... is it Cui Ling?"
