President, please comfort me.

Tang Chao saw that her outfit was completely out of place in the warehouse, and besides, it was full of men, so it was not suitable for her to stay there. He refused directly: "No, I'll have someone send you back."

Lanling frowned at him: "Why?"

"There are only men over there, it's not convenient for you to go over there."

"Then I'll go back by myself. Don't bother asking someone to take me." Lanling looked away, suddenly lost her appetite, put down the crab meat she hadn't finished eating, lowered her eyes, and pouted, looking unhappy.

Tang Chao observed her reaction, wiped his mouth, and asked calmly, "Are you full?"

Lanling kept her head down and said, "Mm."

Tang Chao stared at her for a while, then stood up and walked towards the door. Lanling got anxious and stole a glance at him sideways.

Just when Lanling thought he was abandoning her, Tang Chao suddenly turned around and looked at her, saying, "Aren't you leaving?"

Lanling quickly looked away, then looked up in surprise. After a moment of thought, she still grumbled, "If you want to leave, then leave. My feet hurt, so I need to rest for a while."

Tang Chao stood still, staring straight at her with a half-smile: "Didn't you just say you could go back by yourself? Now your feet hurt?"

Lanling pursed her lips and remained silent, bending down to pick up her shoes and prepare to put them on.

At the same time, Tang Chao came over and stopped her, just like before, and carried her out of the private room.

After getting in the car, Tang Chao glanced at the clock on his wrist, then turned his head and became more serious: "It's almost two o'clock. I have to meet a client later. You can play in the office for a while, but don't wander around."

"Okay, I understand." Lanling nodded happily, her little face full of anticipation, knowing that he had agreed.

After a twenty-minute drive, the person in the passenger seat had lost all their earlier excitement; their eyelids drooped, and they were getting sleepy again.

There was nothing else he could do, so Tang Chao got out of the car and took Lanling directly to the sofa in his lounge. He even gave her a blanket and told her, "Take a nap if you're sleepy. I'll take you home when I'm done."

Lanling yawned groggily and leaned back lazily on the sofa: "Okay."

A group of subordinates outside watched as Tang Chao openly carried a girl into the lounge, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves: "Hey, do you think that was your sister-in-law? She doesn't look like Tang Yue at all."

Someone gave him a knowing look and said, "What do you think? I've never seen Brother Chao bring a woman here, let alone carry her in."

"Wow, I never knew Brother Chao, who's usually so gentle, could be so domineering when it comes to love!"

Xiao and Wen Qi have had dinner together at least five times, and today they finally got a table.

The two sat in a very private restaurant, surrounded by a sumptuous meal. Wen Qi ate while mumbling, "I told Mom we're going home for dinner tonight. Is your schedule okay?"

Xiao He thoughtfully served her soup: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the company entrance after get off work?"

Wen Qi quickly refused, "No need, I'll just go to the parking lot to find you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He put down his soup bowl and looked at her with a deep gaze: "Am I that shameful?"

Wen Qi looked up, afraid that Xiao He would overthink it, and quickly said, "How could that be? I'm just afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. My female colleague in the group has been looking down on me ever since she came back from Xiangcheng last time. If she sees you picking me up again, who knows what she'll say about me."

"Is that so?" Xiao He asked, his face displeased. "What? Did she make things difficult for you? I had someone open a shop for her."

"No need, she hasn't done anything wrong at work, it's not that serious."

Seeing that he hadn't started eating, Wenqi urged him, "Eat quickly, and after we finish, let's hurry down to the mall to buy some things for Mom and Dad and Xiaocan to take back."

Xiao He slowly picked up his bowl and chopsticks: "No rush, we have everything at home, no need to buy more."

Wen Qi looked at him with a smile: "Why don't you go shopping? Maybe you'll find something that suits you."

Having said that, Xiao He couldn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Alright then, let's eat quickly."

After finishing their meal, the two strolled around the mall for half an hour, buying some toys that boys like and a massage pillow for the elderly. Wen Qi also picked out a pair of cufflinks for Xiao He, which made Xiao He extremely happy. He couldn't stop smiling all the way back.

Since their last visit to the ice and snow park, Yang Xu and Tang Yue have exchanged contact information and occasionally chat in private. Yang Xu has developed a strong liking for Tang Yue.

That day, on a whim, he took a picture of Tang Yue's house with an entire wall covered in dolls. Only then did he realize that Tang Yue also liked collecting dolls. Tang Yue also told him that the claw machines at Mingzhu Plaza had many beautiful dolls.

So Yang Xu, who had been left to eat alone by Wen Qi, walked to the claw machine in Mingzhu Square out of boredom after lunch, intending to see if it was really as Tang Yue said, and also to kill some time.

Sure enough, he saw all sorts of dolls he had never seen before. After exchanging two hundred game tokens, he began to wander among the claw machines.

With his accumulated experience, he quickly caught two or three plush toys, attracting the attention of several other children who were also trying to win but couldn't.

After shopping and having dinner with her friends, Tang Yue passed by a claw machine and saw that it was very lively. She also liked toys and became curious, so she went over to check it out.

As she got closer, she realized it was Yang Xu. She was a little surprised and waved to him, saying, "Hi, Yang Xu."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xu turned his head, somewhat overjoyed: "Tang Yue, what are you doing here?"

Tang Yue raised the hand carrying the things slightly and smiled sweetly: "I came to buy things."

"Want to try your luck at the claw machine?" Yang Xu asked her, holding up some game tokens.

"No, I need to go to the driving school this afternoon to submit my registration materials. It's a bit far, so the driver is waiting for me at the entrance. I'm running out of time."

"Oh, okay then, I'll see you to your car."

"Okay." Tang Yue nodded, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Yang Xu wasn't in a hurry, so he took the shopping bag from Tang Yue's hand, and the two walked out side by side.

Just before Tang Yue got into the car, his eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, the driving school is too far away. If you want to practice driving on the weekend, I can teach you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? That's great! I'll ask you out before the weekend!"

"no problem."

Yang Xu picked up the doll in his hand and waved it: "Do you like it? It's yours."

Tang Yue reached out and took it, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "I like it, thank you, I'll be going now."

Seeing Tang Yue about to get into the car, Yang Xu couldn't help but say, "You can come to my house for dinner next time, and invite Wen Qi and the others along."

"Okay, Yang Xu, I'll be going now. See you this weekend." Tang Yue waved to him.

"Go, be careful on the road."

After finishing his business, Tang Chao brought Lanling a pair of slippers in. He saw that she was sleeping with her head tilted to one side, and her sleeping posture was not very pleasant. The blanket had also been kicked aside. She was still sleeping like a little pig, so he didn't make a sound to disturb her.

He tiptoed over and covered her with a blanket, then sat down to work on some documents. Half an hour later, Lanling woke up.
