President, please comfort me.

Before Wen Qi could answer, he continued, "My wife won't allow it, and neither will my darling. Your friends can call her Qi Bao, so why can't I?"

Seeing that he seemed a little angry and unhappy, Wen Qi quickly suppressed her smile: "What's wrong with you? I'll give you extra points, okay?"

Xiao He, lacking any backbone, though still maintaining a stern face, noticeably softened his tone: "How much more?"

"I'll give you ten points. Keep up the good work and keep striving for excellence."

"That's more like it. Come on, let's go back to the room." Xiao He curled his lips in a direction she couldn't see, then led her into the master bedroom.

Wen Qi went to take a shower first. When she came out, she found a box that was neither too big nor too small on the bed.

Hearing the noise, Xiao He knocked on the door and came in.

Wen Qi pointed to the bed: "What's this?"

"I bought you a uterine warming belt. You can use this when your period comes, it should help relieve some of the discomfort." It was the first time Xiao He had bought something like this for a girl, and although he spoke very seriously, a faint blush uncontrollably rose on his cheeks.

Wen Qi narrowed her eyes, picked it up and examined it for a moment: "Wow, you know quite a bit." She glanced at Xiao He for two seconds, then walked towards the dressing table.

"I don't know, but after you had a stomachache last time, I looked into it when you came back."

Xiao He was right. After he came back last time, he specifically searched online and even asked his family doctor. It just so happened that the netizen mentioned sending something practical, so he made the arrangements.

Hearing him say that, Wenqi felt a sweet warmth in her heart and started fiddling with the bottles and jars: "Thank you."

Xiao He leaned closer and asked, "How should I thank you? Bonus points?"

Seeing his behavior, Wen Qi was immediately speechless: "Now everything you do is to get extra points, is that it?"

She feigned displeasure: "You think you're not putting in the effort if you don't get extra points? Then I don't want them anymore, you can keep them for yourself, hmph."

Xiao He knew she wasn't really angry. He was quite pleased to see her showing this side of herself in front of him, and coaxed her in a charming voice, "No, no, it's okay if you don't want to add it. I'll go take a shower now."

Seeing him walk towards the bathroom, Wen Qi pursed her lips and secretly smiled, giving off a look that said, "I can't handle you anymore."

When Xiao He came out of the shower, Wen Qi was still sitting there. He walked over, bent down and squatted down next to her, reached out and touched Wen Qi's head, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Happy Valentine's Day, little one."

The familiar scent lingered around her, and Wen Qi was stunned, staring at him and forgetting to speak.

Xiao didn't cling to me today. He immediately said, "You've played all day, get some rest." Then he went to the living room.

Xiao He didn't understand the concept of "retreating to advance" in this regard. He was genuinely thinking of Wen Qi, worried that she might be tired today, which is why he left early.

After Xiao left, Wen Qi belatedly realized that it was Valentine's Day. She had been having fun all day and had completely forgotten about it. But now that he mentioned it, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart, warm and delicate.

Tang Yue followed Tang Chao back to the Governor's Mansion. She winked and asked curiously, "Brother, why did Lanling ride in our car today? Does she like you?"

Tang Chao spread his five fingers and covered her face, pushing her away: "No, maybe it's because you're cute."

Tang Yue then asked, "Are she and Yang Xu boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Thinking about how persistent Lanling had been to her last night and Yang Xu's reaction, Tang Chao guessed, "It shouldn't be."

"Oh, I'm going back to my room, brother, goodnight." Tang Yue's voice was light and cheerful, and she suddenly stopped the conversation abruptly.

After returning to his room, Tang Chao sent Ye Lin a cheeky message: "Giving someone a pet for Valentine's Day, you're quite good at catering to their tastes. So, are you officially recognized now?"

Ye Lin was lying on the soft, comfortable bed, his eyes half-closed, a smile playing on his lips, lost in thought as he reminisced about his time with Chen Nuo that day.

A notification popped up, waking him from his thoughts.

Ye Lin: Do you think this is like buying vegetables at a market, where you pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other?

Ye Lin: If it were that easy, would it even be my turn?

唐朝：……

The next morning, Chen Nuo made a reservation at the restaurant and then sent a message to Ye Lin.

At noon, Ye Lin left work early and arrived at the restaurant early.

Chen Nuo rushed over before the agreed time: "I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's alright, I just arrived too." Ye Lin got up and pulled out a chair for her.

The two sat down to order food. Chen Nuo handed him the box in her hand. Perhaps because of the company of the puppy, she was in a good mood today. She looked at Ye Lin with a smile and said, "I baked some cookies this morning. I brought them for you to try."

Ye Lin was secretly delighted and accepted the gift as if it were a precious treasure: "Is the dog still obedient?"

Chen Nuo smiled slightly and said confidently, "It's quite obedient, doesn't make a fuss, and sleeps peacefully. It seems I do have a talent for raising dogs."

Ye Lin looked at her and smiled, "Yeah, really amazing."

Chen Nuo couldn't stand his straightforward praise, so she quickly lowered her head and ate.

Ye Lin thoughtfully cut her a steak: "Eat more meat. Is dancing very tiring? You're so thin."

Chen Nuo looked up: "It's okay, I don't usually eat much."

Ye Lin acted as if she hadn't heard, continuing to serve her food.

Chen Nuo smiled awkwardly, "You eat first, I can do it myself." She felt a little awkward seeing that Ye Lin hadn't eaten a single bite yet and that she had been taking care of her the whole time.

"I eat quickly, no rush."

Ye Lin asked, "Is the dance studio on the second floor of the Hong Kong Pearl Tower?"

"Ah."

The two ate and chatted, with Ye Lin mostly initiating topics, and it was quite harmonious.

After dinner, Ye Lin offered to take Chen Nuo home as usual. Having experienced what happened last night, Chen Nuo didn't dare to argue with him and obediently got into the car.

"Back to the Pearl of Hong Kong?"

Chen Nuo nodded: "Yes, I have class this afternoon."

The two chatted in the car, and when Yueyue came up, Ye Lin and Chen Nuo talked for a while about dance-related things.

After getting off the bus, he already knew that Chen Nuo occasionally went to the gym on weekday mornings when he didn't have classes, and spent almost all his afternoons teaching at the dance studio. On weekends, he would sometimes teach at students' homes, but the timing was not fixed.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Xiangjiang Mingzhu residential complex.

After Chen Nuo got out of the car, Ye Lin watched her go upstairs and immediately called the errand boy to deliver the things from the back seat to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo had just entered the room when she heard a knock on the door. She went to open it, and as soon as she opened the door, her vision was instantly filled with a large expanse of white roses. Then, a strange man peeked out from behind the bouquet.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Chen Nuo? This is a gift from a gentleman downstairs. Please sign for it." The deliveryman said as he handed her the flowers.

Chen Nuo took it suspiciously: "Sir downstairs?"

"Okay, you can take a look at the contents of the card. If there are no problems, I'll be going now."

Chen Nuo picked up the card, which simply read: YL.

She was frowning, wondering who had sent it, when she received a call from Ye Lin.

A deep, husky voice came through the phone to Chen Nuo's ears, sounding particularly alluring in the quiet room: "Do you like it?"
