Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 30: Brewing Coffee in a Thermos

"Director Fan, are we really going to let that bitch Tian Tian go?" the little follower asked with gritted teeth, a sinister and vicious expression on his face.

"Hmph! There's plenty of time to come. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." The woman called Director Fang said with disdain, "But her acquaintance with the daughter of Hongyuan Real Estate is a bit troublesome."

"What are you afraid of? We are Mingyi Capital, not her Hongyuan Real Estate. Do we need to be so afraid of her?" The little follower said nonchalantly.

Director Fan thought about it carefully and felt that what his little follower said was right, and his worry immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Help me do something~"

A conspiracy was unfolding in this inconspicuous office, but this scene was heard clearly by Lin Tao who happened to pass by.

Lin Tao sat sideways behind his desk, staring blankly at the sky outside the window.

All the things that could be done had already been assigned to people, and now it was just a matter of time. These things had happened so many years ago, and if he wanted to find out the whole story, the information he had would probably not be enough. He would probably have to infiltrate the five major families of Fanjiang.

But even though the five major families are no longer as united as they used to be, it seems that it is not so easy to intervene.

"Mr. Gu, this is the coffee you asked for." Tian Tian whispered, holding a cute cartoon rabbit thermos cup with an exquisite design in both hands as she walked into the office. This was the solution she had thought of after thinking hard for a long time to deal with Lin Tao's habit of only drinking 45-degree coffee.

Lin Tao's gaze leisurely penetrated the window lattice. The scenery outside seemed to attract his attention more than anything else inside. He simply waved his hand indifferently at Tian Tian's arrival and the creative work in her hands: "Just leave it there."

Tian Tian did as she was told, placing the bottle gently, her movements revealing an unspoken caution. She stood quietly at her desk, her gaze gently shifting between the thermos and Lin Tao, a wave of anxiety welling up in her heart. This uneasiness stemmed from her subtle grasp of Mr. Gu's unpredictable personality, as well as her uncertainty about her own unique attempt.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lin Tao finally turned around and asked Tian Tian.

Tian Tian's heart tightened, and her uneasiness was palpable. She bit her lip, trying to make her voice sound more stable: "No...no more."

"If you have nothing to do, go out and work! I don't need you here for the time being." After saying that, he turned around gracefully again, leaving Tian Tian with a slightly aloof back.

"Oh." Tian Tian responded, but her body stood there motionless.

Noticing the unusual silence, Lin Tao turned his head again, his eyes filled with scrutiny and confusion. "Didn't you understand what I said?"

"I understand, but~" Tian Tian said helplessly, "Sister Hong said I'm your personal assistant and didn't assign me a workstation."

Hearing this, Lin Tao smiled bitterly, "Then why don't you just find a place to sit?"

When Tian Tian heard this, her eyes lit up and she said "Oh" as if she had suddenly realized something. Then she stood up lightly and pulled the large chair in front of Lin Tao's desk without hesitation. She sat down in an almost lazy posture, her face filled with satisfaction and comfort.

"You~" Lin Tao was stunned to laugh at this, and he felt a bit awkward. "Who told you to sit here? Go find a seat in the office area outside."

Tian Tian didn't take it seriously. A sly smile appeared on her lips as she retorted confidently, "But Sister Hong said my office is right here."

"You~" Lin Tao's lips curled up into a smile that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but it seemed that this was what he had said to Nakajima Miling before.

Tian Tian saw this, and a flash of realization flashed in her eyes. She trembled slightly and stood up suddenly, "I know! You want me to leave here and work somewhere else, right?"

"So what do you think?" Lin Tao couldn't help but smile as he heard that, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Tian Tian sighed softly, a trace of helplessness and relief flashed across her brows, and she muttered, "If you want me to move, just say it directly. Aren't you tired of going through such a big circle?" After that, she turned around and rolled her eyes, ready to leave.

"Stop, come back!" Lin Tao's attention was finally attracted by the pink thermos cup on the table, which was designed in an extremely cute rabbit shape.

"What is this?" Lin Tao asked with a hint of curiosity and confusion in his tone, pointing his finger lightly at the very cute thermos cup.

Seeing this, Tian Tian's eyes lit up with excitement, as if the entire room was filled with energy because of her. "This is a treasure I found especially for you," she said as she proudly picked up the thermos cup. With a light twist of her fingertips, the lid popped open. Then, with an almost ritualistic gesture, she handed this heartfelt gift to Lin Tao.

"Mr. Gu, I know you only drink coffee at 45 degrees. I've been searching the market for a long time, and this thermos has the best insulation effect. Even if you leave it for a day, the temperature will definitely not drop below 30 degrees. So, Mr. Gu, you can rest assured and enjoy it."

Hearing this, Lin Tao felt that the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch uncontrollably, and he had an urge to pick up the girl in front of him and throw her away.

"Also, this rabbit is the best pink rabbit on the market right now. It represents my most sincere admiration for you." As she spoke, she gently pushed the thermos cup towards Lin Tao, a gentle light flashing in her eyes. "I hope it can accompany you every day, just like a token of my love, quietly waiting for you. Do you like this little token of my love?"

Lin Tao's mouth twitched slightly, suppressing the impatience that was about to burst out. In a calm yet slightly cold tone, he pointed to the closed office door behind him and asked, "Do you know how to close it?"

Hearing this, Tian Tian's gaze involuntarily followed Lin Tao's finger to the door, then quickly turned back, a trace of confusion and grievance flashed in her eyes. Her big eyes blinked and she said very aggrievedly, "Are you trying to tell me to get out?"

Lin Tao was so angry that he laughed. If it weren't for the big sunglasses on his face that hid his expression at the moment, he would have looked much worse. "What's wrong with this girl's brain circuit? Is she really stupid or is she just trying to be cute in front of me?" Lin Tao thought secretly.

Tian Tian pouted, her eyes flickering with a hint of grievance. Her slender fingers intertwined gently, as if weaving a silent defense. With a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, she whispered, "I've seen these tropes in skits. Usually, they want me to get out. But I... I really want to help you with your problems with all my heart."

"So?" Lin Tao felt a headache. When he thought that the little goblin in front of him was his wife, he had an urge to find a piece of tofu to bump into.

"So, you can really try it." Tian Tian lowered her head and carefully glanced at Lin Tao. Although her expression could not be seen behind the big sunglasses, Lin Tao's slightly trembling lips seemed to have confirmed that he was extremely angry at the moment.

Lin Tao raised his finger, wanting to point at Tian Tian and say something, but the words just wouldn't come out. His innocent finger was stuck in the air, neither moving up nor down, which was really awkward.

"Excellent! This gift... I'm truly very satisfied." Lin Tao's words carried a subtle hint of repression, a forced smile forming at the corners of his mouth, as if each word was squeezed out with difficulty from between his teeth. His eyes were complex, filled with both helplessness and a hint of reluctance, yet he ultimately chose to endure.

"I knew you'd love it, Mr. Lin." Tian Tian keenly noticed the subtle change in Lin Tao's tone, but the gloom in her heart was instantly dispelled by the sunshine. Her smile was as bright and brilliant as a flower blooming in spring, and her eyes sparkled with the joy of recognition. "Then, Mr. Lin, I won't bother you while you savor this thoughtful gift. I'll take my leave now. I hope you enjoy this unique gift."

With that, she turned lightly, a hint of joy in her steps, as if the previous incident had never happened. The heavy glass door slowly closed behind her, making a low and steady sound, adding a mysterious ending to her departing figure.

Lin Tao's shoulders were shaking, and it was unclear whether he was laughing or angry, but his eyes fell on the cute pink rabbit thermos on the desk again. Looking at the rabbit's adorable appearance, he no longer felt angry about anything.

Looking at the rabbit, Lin Tao's unhappiness and irritability miraculously dissipated. It was as if the rabbit wasn't just a pattern on the thermos, but rather a gentle force that gently smoothed the wrinkles in his heart, leaving him with a sense of peace and tranquility. An unconscious smile curved his lips, and the anger he'd felt over trivial matters vanished.

He gently picked up the cup and brought it to his nose to smell it. The aroma of coffee immediately filled the air. So he took a sip carefully. It was still the familiar taste and temperature, but the difference was that his mood became more peaceful at this moment.
