Zhao Ya spent the afternoon studying recipes, but when she got home, she found that the person hadn't returned yet.

"Young Master, Young Master took Hua Hua out this morning and hasn't returned yet." The butler stepped forward to report. "Huang Cai drove Young Master out today."

Zhao Ya took out his phone and sent a message to ask.

Wu Tongxue was eating when she received the message, and she knew it was from him as soon as she heard the notification sound.

At Zhao Ya's insistence, Wu Tongxue set up a special message notification sound for him.

Wu Tongxue: Eating.

I casually took a picture of dinner and sent it over.

Zhao Ya opened the photo, his lazy posture instantly turning sharp as he zoomed in to examine it closely.

Zhao Ya: Two people?

Zhao Ya: Who are you with?

Wu Tongxue: A friend I met a couple of days ago, we're hanging out today.

Zhao Ya gripped his phone tightly. How come he had no idea that he had made friends with business people?

The corner of the photo unexpectedly captured Li Nanyuan's shirt cuffs, revealing a subtle yet luxurious platinum gray cuff on his black shirt, and a familiar watch on his wrist.

Zhao Ya had a good impression of Li Nanyuan. He had talked with Zhao Wuji for several hours, and Zhao Ya was present at the time.

Li Nanyuan was wearing this watch at the time.

"Ah!"

Shameless old man, at such an advanced age, still dares to seduce a sweetheart.

Zhao Ya: Give me your address, I'll come pick you up later.

Zhao Ya: Receive the flowers.

Upon seeing Huahua, Wu Tongxue immediately agreed and sent out the location.

Wu Tongxue: You should leave later.

Zhao Ya: Okay

The butler could tell at a glance that the young master was in a bad mood, so he skillfully stood a little further away, but not too far, just enough to hear what the young master was saying.

"I'm going out for a bit, I won't be back for dinner."

Zhao Ya went to the garage without looking back, picked a car, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

Later, will you let others seduce your sweetheart?

Ah.

That cunning guy, Li Nanyuan, actually bypassed him and his father to directly contact Sweetheart. Who knows what dark intentions he harbors?

The housekeeper went to the kitchen to instruct them to reduce the number of dishes, but on the way, he received a call from Zhao Wuji.

"Has the young master returned yet?"

Butler: "The young master is still out playing with his friends, and the eldest young master just came back and went out again."

Zhao Wuji was still busy at the company when he heard that his youngest son was not there. "Don't bother preparing dinner for me."

"Ok sir."

"If the young master asks, just say I have a social engagement tonight and will be home late."

After hanging up the phone, the housekeeper stepped back into the kitchen, thinking, "Great, now the master of the house doesn't need to prepare dinner."

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and Wu Tongxue looked up.

A very familiar person appeared at the door, wearing a floral shirt with the collar wide open and beige trousers. He was always adorned with jingling accessories. He adjusted his sunglasses with his index finger, and leaned against the doorway while holding a small white dog, looking relaxed.

Zhao Ya straightened up and gave a big smile. "Baby, I've brought Huahua to pick you up."

"Oh, isn't this President Li? What a coincidence, we just met a couple of days ago."

Zhao Ya swaggered in, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Upon seeing the uninvited guest, Li Nanyuan put down his chopsticks and gave a businesslike smile, "Mr. Zhao."

"Brother, why are you here so early? Haven't you eaten yet?" It's been less than half an hour since we were chatting, so you must have left as soon as you received the message.

Wu Tongxue introduced them to:

"Li Nanyuan, this is my brother Zhao Ya."

"Brother, what is this—"

Zhao Ya took off his sunglasses and smiled, "No need to introduce us, I know President Li."

He placed Hua Hua on his lap, picked up a drink, and refilled Wu Tongxue's nearly empty cup with intimate and familiar gestures. "It seems that President Li is not surprised by our relationship."

Zhao Ya looked at Li Nanyuan and tried to trap him, "President Li just came to discuss cooperation a couple of days ago, you wouldn't have forgotten me so quickly, would you?"

Wu Tongxue took a sip of her drink and looked at the two of them.

Li Nanyuan glanced at Wu Tongxue first, and seeing that he wasn't overthinking things, he slowly said, "I've already reached an agreement with President Zhao on work matters."

Zhao Ya remained noncommittal: "Is that so..."

Wu Tongxue interrupted him, "Brother, eat something first."

She pushed a new set of tableware in front of him, gesturing for him to eat, and then took the tablet that was placed next to Li Nanyuan to add more food.

Li Nanyuan: "Guests are always welcome, Mr. Zhao, please don't stand on ceremony."

Zhao Ya laughed angrily. So they were excluding him from the two of them?

"I'll order. I know what you like to eat." Wu Tongxue took back the tablet that was halfway handed over.

"I heard that President Li has never liked small animals. It was my oversight. I'll have someone take Hua Hua out." As he said this, Zhao Ya sat motionless in his chair, leisurely stroking Hua Hua's chin.

"Mr. Zhao may have misheard. After all, rumors are not credible."

Wu Tongxue drank a beverage and then started eating.

Since no fight broke out, let's eat first.

He didn't know whether Li Nanyuan and Zhao Ya had eaten enough; he ate very well.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, we took Huahua and led her to play on a nearby chair.

Zhao Ya put down his chopsticks after eating very little, and Li Nanyuan followed suit.

"I'm so grateful to Mr. Li for taking care of my baby today. I will definitely tell Daddy about Mr. Li's contribution."

Li Nanyuan showed no fear, "This is what I should do."

Their eyes met, seemingly calm but actually turbulent beneath, neither willing to yield.

"Brother, the things I ordered have arrived at home."

Wu Tongxue walked over quickly, waved her phone, and looked surprised.

"Li Nanyuan, we're leaving now. See you next time!"

Zhao Ya raised an eyebrow and smiled, then casually waved next to Wu Tongxue, "President Li, see you next time."

He casually hooked his sunglasses and swung them around, exuding an air of arrogance and nonchalance, saying, "I'm taking my baby home first."

Li Nanyuan's eyes darkened for a moment, but he remained composed and said, "Young Master Zhao, see you next time."

She turned slightly to look at the bright and energetic young man, her smile becoming much more relaxed. "Xiaoxue, goodbye."

"boom--"

After Zhao Ya left, he slammed the door shut and put his elbow on the shoulder of the boy who was half a head shorter than him. "Baby, when did you make these friends? How come I didn't know?"

Wu Tongxue was already used to his various physical touches, and casually replied, "You've been very busy lately, so there's no need to talk to you about this kind of thing."

"What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? Anything concerning your baby is a big deal."

Zhao Ya lowered her head and whispered in his ear. From behind, the two, one tall and one short, looked extremely harmonious and intimate.

Li Nanyuan watched for a while before turning and leaving.

After walking a distance, Zhao Ya suddenly looked back.

As soon as she turned around, a dog was shoved into her arms. Wu Tongxue said, "Hold it and don't say anything."

How cheesy! I don't want to hear him talk.

Zhao Ya: "I—"

Wu Tongxue raised her chin and glared at him fiercely, "I told you not to speak!"

"Didn't I tell you to come later?" he began to settle scores.

Zhao Ya looked at the sky and the ground, glancing east and west, and then fell silent.

Wu Tongxue got into the car first, took out her phone to check the order, and a smile appeared on her face.

You're not angry?

Zhao Ya, who came up later, observed his expression and raised his eyebrows.

Ahhh, I have a bad feeling.
