So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

In the following days, Shang Xuzhi spent even more time exercising in the rehabilitation room than before.

Chu Yu was worried that it would be awkward to see him again after that experience.

I'm also afraid he'll come back a few more times...

It wasn't that she was particularly opposed to it, it's just that the experience that time wasn't pleasant.

Although she could sense that the man had been extremely patient and tender towards her, she still inevitably suffered pain.

These past few days, Shang Xu has been leaving early and returning late, and the two of them haven't exchanged more than a few words.

Usually, it was only after she had turned off the lights and rested that the man finished his day's training and work, took a shower, quietly climbed into bed, and then carefully took his beloved little baby into his arms and held her tight.

If you accidentally wake her up, the little girl will hum a few times in dissatisfaction and mumble something unintelligible.

Shang Xuzhi would gently stroke her back, kiss her eyebrows and cheeks, and then soothe her in a very soft voice: "Baby, be good, sleep peacefully—"

The familiar scent and voice would instantly put her at ease, allowing her to find a comfortable position in her own embrace and continue to sleep peacefully.

These uneventful days lasted for about ten days.

This morning.

Chu Yu had just woken up and was lazily stretching her body in the soft quilt when Xiao Naigao, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly reappeared.

[Congratulations, host! The target has regained the ability to walk, and the mission to cure the leg ailment is complete!]

Chu Yu was taken aback.

So fast! ?

From the time he started rehabilitation until he can walk now, it has only been two months.

[Besides continuing to reduce his level of world-weariness, do I have any other tasks?]

[Yes, host, your main quest is to bring warmth to the big boss!]

Chu Yu remained silent for a moment.

Sometimes, communication between people is useless.

Well, little milk cake can't really be considered a person after all.

I know I should offer him support, but by what standard will I be judged whether I've fulfilled this task?

Now it was Little Milk Cake's turn to remain silent.

What an advanced language system.

How could this fledgling system possibly cope?

Chu Yu never expected that such a simple question would stump her.

She was genuinely speechless. "So you set up system tasks but didn't set standards for completing them?"

This world really is a huge makeshift operation.

She recalled the systems in the transmigration novels she had read, each one more powerful than the last, all of them god-like assisters.

Especially that cute little milk candy.

Their names differ by only one character, how could this be...?

Little Milk Cake returned quickly this time, her tone somewhat excited.

[Host! I just went back and performed an upgrade. Now I can view your complete mission progress!]

So you couldn't even see it before??

Little Milk Cake felt a little guilty; it couldn't possibly admit that it was the first-generation system that had been urgently launched!

The leader said that it must pretend to be experienced and must not let the host see through its disguise.

It hesitated and stammered, but Chu Yu didn't dwell on it too much. At least it could keep upgrading, so the situation wasn't too bad.

Tell me, what's the status of my main quest?

[That's right. The main quest's metric is the target character's affection level towards the host. When the affection level reaches 100%, the quest is completed, and merit points are automatically added.]

Affection level...

Chu Yu never expected that sending warmth to the big boss meant wanting him to fall completely in love with her.

Did Shang Xuzhi fall in love with her?

[The target person, Shang Xu, currently has a 70% affection level. Please keep up the good work, host!]

The affection level is already at 70%!

She could sense the special treatment the man gave her, but she never imagined his affection was this intense.

According to the information provided by Xiaonaigao, Shang Xuzhi is a typical case of emotional detachment.

He is naturally indifferent and detached from external emotions. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been reserved and calm, and no one can truly enter his inner world.

Especially after the upheaval five years ago, Shang Xuzhi completely shut himself off and became the invincible ruler of the Shang family.

But Shang Xuzhi in front of her was always gentle, vibrant, and now she knew that he was full of love.

70% is not a low figure, especially considering the short time she has been human.

But what about the next 30%?

For the first time, Chu Yu felt confused about the mission...

Before she could think any further, a message from the man popped up on her phone.

[Shang Xuzhi]: Is the baby awake?

Chu Yu glanced at the time on the screen: 10:30.

These days, she wakes up around this time every day.

Shang Xuzhi sent the message precisely according to her biological clock, afraid that sending it too early would wake her up, and sending it too late would cause her to miss lunch.

Breakfast has already passed, so we can't let our little one go hungry for lunch.

[Chuchu wasn't short-legged]: Voice message 3"

Shang Xuzhi, who had just finished training and taken a shower, saw this three-second voice message, paused for a moment, and then clicked on it.

A sweet, soft, childlike voice instantly filled the quiet room.

"Hmm, I'm already up!"

The man's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and he nodded again without hesitation.

The short three-second voice message was played on a loop countless times before it finally stopped.

The man, who had already showered and changed his clothes, went back into the bathroom for some reason and stayed there for a long time before coming out.

There wasn't a drop of steam in the bathroom; it didn't look like someone had just taken a shower.

When Shang Xuzhi arrived at the restaurant in his wheelchair, Chu Yu was already leisurely eating.

She used to always wait for him to come before eating together, but after being hugged and lectured by the man a few times, she finally gave up this obsession.

She always kept those complicated rules in mind.

But with Shang Xuzhi, there were no rules for her whatsoever.

He might even get annoyed that she's restricted by those so-called rules.

"If I can't even protect the woman I love and let her do whatever she wants now, then everything I did before would be a joke."

These were the exact words Shang Xuzhi said to her at the time.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time I had ever heard him utter such domineering words.

Unexpected, yet also reasonable.

He was already a top performer at the very top of the pyramid, possessing the capital to rule the world and look down upon all others.

But he always maintained a calm and refined demeanor.

After spending a long time together, it's easy to mistakenly believe that this is the true nature of business discussions.

They forgot how he used ruthless methods to gradually rise from a refined and elegant university professor to the head of the Shang family.

This man gave her all his patience and tenderness.

He was never even forgiving of himself.

These five years of self-torture are the best proof.
