Corporate slave? Pshaw, I'm the richest woman now!

Then she saw Jiang Ran's lips curl slightly as he mouthed a few words to her—"I want a hug too."

Tang Tang's expression was a bit complicated. Why did she feel that Jiang Ran was like a peacock spreading its tail feathers?

Bai Anli and Su Fengtian exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something.

Tang Tang didn't hesitate. She stepped forward decisively, wrapped her arms around Jiang Ran's waist, and gave him a hug.

Jiang Ran looked down at Tang Tang, lowered his arms, and embraced her tightly before quickly letting go.

This kid is pretty strong.

Tang Tang suddenly thought of this and smiled.

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow at her, and from his cool expression, Tang Tang seemed to understand his meaning—"Is it that funny?"

Tang Tang patted his arm, "It's easy to hug."

Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Tang, then looked at her hand resting on his arm, smiled, and said softly, "Long time no see."

Tang Tang bent down and hugged the little tiger, but for some reason, the little tiger liked to bite Jiang Ran's clothes.

"Sugar, help!"

Suddenly, Wang Feiyan's voice drifted over, sounding like the ghost of a man who had died unjustly.

Tang Tang turned her head and saw that Da Piao Liang seemed to regard Wang Fei Yan as some kind of fun toy, and would occasionally open her mouth to nibble at him.

Of course, it was just holding it in its mouth without using any force, but it seriously hindered Wang Feiyan's movements.

Tang Tang tucked the little tiger into Jiang Ran's arms, then quickly walked to Wang Feiyan's side, squatted down, and patted the big, pretty head several times.

The strength is just right, and it's not nerve-wracking.

Big Beauty opened its mouth and growled a few times in a coquettish manner, but to outsiders, its reaction seemed to be quite defiant.

Tang Tang's stunning beauty was so intimidating that those present couldn't help but worry about her safety.

But all they saw was Tang Tang patting the crocodile's head again, saying, "I'll feed you beef tonight."

The handsome young master was satisfied. He glanced regretfully at his new toy, Wang Feiyan, then turned and climbed back into his lake.

Wang Feiyan exclaimed in amazement, "Your crocodile is so smart!"

Tang Tang shrugged. "Of course, I have my own unique methods for raising crocodiles."

Wang Feiyan asked curiously, "What method?"

Tang Tang gave Wang Feiyan a sinister smile, "Feed the traitors to the crocodiles. Eating more brains will make them smarter."

"I rely on!"

Wang Feiyan stared blankly, incredulous. "Really?"

Tang Tang hummed in response, "Now that you're on my turf, if you make me angry, I'll throw you to Big Pretty to eat."

Wang Feiyan sidled up to Tang Tang, his tone aggrieved, but his focus was completely misplaced: "What are you saying? I've never made you angry."

Bai Anli and Su Fengtian, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, exchanged a complicated glance, then looked at Wang Feiyan with a strange expression...

They couldn't quite figure out Wang Feiyan; they didn't know what he was thinking.

Tang Tang was already used to Wang Feiyan's unreliable words, so she naturally engaged in playful banter with him. She laughed and said, "I don't care."

Wang Feiyan readily agreed, "My goodness, you're absolutely right."

……

Once inside the castle, everyone gained a new understanding of Tang Tang's extravagance.

The interior of the castle is both noble and exquisite, with every decoration and piece of furniture possessing unique aesthetic appeal. Together, they imbue the entire castle with a forbidden vampire-like atmosphere.

Whether it's the high ceiling, the giant crystal chandelier hanging from it, or the huge long table that can accommodate 20 people at the same time, with the white candles intricately carved with gorgeous patterns inserted on it, everything demonstrates the extravagance of this castle in the smallest details.

The group sat on the sofa chatting. The fireplace was burning brightly, making the whole space very warm, and you could even smell a sweet aroma of burning wood.

"Master, esteemed guests, the afternoon tea prepared for you tomorrow will be black tea flown in from the Fog Kingdom."

As Tang Xiao spoke, he bent down and placed the black tea from the dining cart in front of the group. He wore well-fitting butler gloves that were not bulky and even made his fingers appear exceptionally long and strong.

The black tea is brewed with fresh milk, and at this moment it has a slightly brownish caramel flavor. When you lower your head to taste it carefully, in addition to the caramel aroma, there is a slight sweetness and a rich tea fragrance.

Bai Anli took a sip and praised, "Such a delicate texture, how can it be so smooth?"

It's worth noting that even with milk, regular black tea will still have a slightly astringent taste.

"You need to add milk one by one during the tea brewing process. After each boil, you need to pour out one-third of the milk and tea. Then continue to add milk and tea until it boils six times. Then it will become very smooth."

In other words, brewing one pot of this kind of tea could result in discarding many pots of tea.

But Tang Xiao quickly added, "The extra tea produced during the brewing process will be given as a reward to the other servants."

In just a few words, the profound heritage of the Tang family was revealed.

Considering that they all came by plane, the afternoon tea was more of a snack type, and Tang Tang hoped that they could rest early after eating.

"These are your snacks. If there are any you like that you can't identify, I'll make them right away."

"Savory snacks include salmon tacos, caviar sushi, foie gras and blueberry tart, scrambled egg and shrimp tart, black pepper duck breast baguette sandwich, and honeydew melon, green olive and ham skewers."

"The desserts are orange macarons, modern canelés, nut Napoleons, vanilla Mont Blanc, and tiramisu."

Without any hesitation, everyone readily chose what they liked to eat.

Jiang Ran clearly preferred savory snacks, so she mostly picked from the savory snack section, while the other three all chose desserts, especially Wang Feiyan.

Taking advantage of his high level of physical activity, good metabolism, and low susceptibility to weight gain, he ate several desserts without hesitation.

Bai Anli chuckled as she ate, "I never expected to come to Italy."

Tang Tang also laughed, "I didn't expect it either. I can only say that sometimes fate is full of such coincidences and twists."

“My goodness, your housekeeper said you encountered a little trouble earlier.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang's voice held a hint of sarcasm, "There are some idiots who don't even realize they're being used."

She thought of the killer still locked in the interrogation room, the interrogation yet to be completed...

Tang Tang lowered her eyes slightly and casually glanced at the tea leaves in her teacup. "It's alright, it's already been resolved."

The group didn't inquire further. Bai Anli mentioned the all-female bar he had previously partnered with Tang Tang, saying, "The previous bar has already started its trial operation. If you have time to come to B City, you can go and have some fun."

Tang Tang propped her chin on her hand, "I trust Sister Anli's abilities..."

Bai Anli sighed helplessly, "You just want to be a hands-off manager."

Tang Tang blinked. "Yes, it's quite troublesome to travel back and forth between City A and City B."

At this point, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and said, "Once the Ningjiang Cross-Sea Bridge is completed, it will be much more convenient to travel between cities A and B."
