President, please comfort me.

Lanling woke up but didn't move. She yawned blankly, blinked, and stared at the man who was working diligently.

Still half asleep, she blurted out her thoughts in a sweet, coquettish voice: "Ah Chao, you're so handsome."

Tang Chao was focused on his work when her sudden remark interrupted him. He closed his computer and turned his gaze to her.

Tang Chao ignored her and gestured with his eyes to the shoes next to her without changing his expression: "Put your shoes on when you wake up, and I'll take you back."

Upon hearing that they had to go back, Lanling sat up abruptly: "It's still early, how about we have dinner together tonight and then go see a movie?"

Tang Chao understood her thoughts perfectly. He got up, put the computer away, and then turned to look at her, saying each word clearly: "I don't like watching movies. You're Wen Qi's good friend, and I treat you all like younger sisters. Let's go."

Such direct words made Lanling, who was pursuing someone for the first time, instantly feel her cheeks burning.

But she didn't want to give up so easily. She thought that instead of slowly trying to find a sense of existence by staying by his side, she might as well open her heart and tell him directly that she liked him.

So she got up, walked barefoot straight up to him, raised her chin slightly, and looked at him with a bright, angry expression: "I don't want to be your sister! Tang Chao, I've got my eye on you, I want to be your girlfriend!"

They knew she was bold, but they didn't know she was this bold. Tang Chao was caught off guard and was completely speechless.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Chao found his earlier reaction somewhat amusing. He looked at her seriously and asked with a light laugh, "Little girl, do you know what will happen if you become my girlfriend?"

"What?" Lanling asked, her voice both fierce and fearless.

Tang Chao stretched out a hand, gently lifted her rosy cheeks, then leaned down slightly, his thin lips slowly approaching hers, finally stopping two centimeters away.

Their eyes met, and he looked at her with interest, his voice low and drawn out: "What do you think?"

Faced with such beauty, how could Lanling remain unmoved? Without hesitation, she tiptoed and thrust her lips towards him.

As she wished, their four red lips pressed tightly together.

In an instant, the woman's fragrance and faint perfume hit Tang Chao's head, his heart skipped a beat, and he momentarily forgot to push her away.

His reaction pleased Lanling perfectly. She even playfully licked his sexy thin lips with the tip of her tongue, then stepped back, her eyes sparkling with a charming smile, and asked softly, "Is that so?"

Tang Chao's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, his eyes narrowing slightly, his gaze turning cold, and his voice becoming a bit hoarse: "Don't you know shame? Where did you learn that?"

Lanling replied confidently, "Shameless! You're self-taught. Anyway, once you've got my stamp on you, you're mine."

"Let's go. Since you don't want to eat or watch a movie, then take me home. I'll ask Ah Xu to keep me company."

After Lanling finished rambling on and on without waiting for Tang Chao's response, she went back to put on her slippers, picked up her things, and headed for the door.

Tang Chao watched her graceful figure disappear into the distance, and stood there for a while before belatedly walking over, picking up her high heels from the ground, and following her out.

As the car drove through the city center, Tang Chao turned to look at her, suddenly feeling a little awkward: "What do you want to eat?"

It has to be said that Lanling was actually savoring that fleeting first kiss and thinking about what to do next the whole way.

Pulled back to reality, she casually said, "Ah Xu said he'd make me my favorite sour soup beef and frog legs after get off work, so you can just drop me off at Datang Shijia."

Tang Chao hesitated for a moment, then gave her a meaningful look and said, "Fine."

Downstairs at the Tang Dynasty Mansion, Lanling bid farewell to the Tang Dynasty and got out of the car decisively. Without looking back, she rushed back to report to Wen Qi and the others on her progress in pursuing the person and the unexpected joy of the day.

But this had a different meaning in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty. Their attitudes were completely different before and after the marriage. It was a typical case of always being restless when you can't have something, but not appreciating what you have right away.

"Heh." Tang Chao gave an incredulous self-mockery, utterly helpless and at a loss for what to do with her!

When Lanling returned, Yang Xu was not home yet. He had indeed said that they would have dinner together that night, so Lanling changed his clothes and went downstairs to buy groceries.

When Yang Xu got home, she was lounging on the sofa with her legs crossed, secretly enjoying herself. He walked over and couldn't help but ask, "In a good mood?"

She glanced back and said, "Yes."

Yang Xu didn't reply, but went straight into the kitchen, waiting for her to speak.

Sure enough, when Lanling saw that he didn't ask, she immediately picked up her phone and followed him, and started spamming the group chat, telling him what had happened that day, while also verbally informing Yang Xu, who was washing vegetables nearby.

Yang Xu was shocked by her bizarre actions and admired her courage. While processing the ingredients, he asked, "So what's the next step?"

Lanling leaned against the door, replying to messages in the group chat while saying, "I don't know. I've found that chasing someone is really hard to follow a plan. Plans can't keep up with changes, so it's better to just improvise."

"That's good, keep it up." Yang Xu tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, you go ahead and cook. We can talk while we eat." Lanling waved her hand and hopped back onto the sofa.

Wen Qi was on her way to the Governor's Mansion when she saw the group message. She looked up at Xiao He and said out of the blue, "It seems that the type of person you like can change at any time."

Xiao He was confused: "What?"

"It's nothing." Wen Qi shook her head, deliberately not telling him, but a smile played on her lips.

Just as Xiao was about to press for answers, Tang Chao called. His tone was not angry at all, but rather he chuckled and teased, "You little rascal, you betrayed your brothers to please your wife?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He immediately understood what Wen Qi meant. After glancing at her, he replied without any remorse, "Isn't this for your important life event? Aren't you going to thank me?"

Tang Chao scoffed: "You think I'm like you and Ye Lin?"

“Bring Xiaoqi over for dinner sometime. My mom has been nagging me about it for ages.”

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao He glanced at Wen Qi: "My aunt wants us to come over for dinner sometime."

Wen Qi smiled gently: "Okay, next weekend then."

When the two arrived at the Baidu Mansion, Xiao Can kept pestering Wen Qi to play with his toys. They played for more than half an hour, and in the end, Wen Qi even promised to take him to the zoo on the weekend.

It was already nine o'clock when I got back to Chunfengli after dinner.

Wen Qi had just finished showering and was sitting on the edge of the bed replying to messages when Ye Lin called. Wen Qi calmly answered, "What's up, Brother Ye Lin?"

A pleasant baritone voice came from beside her ear: "Xiaoqi, invite Xiaoyue, Chen Nuo and Lanling this weekend, I'll take you to the dessert shop I mentioned before."

Based on their time together, Wen Qi genuinely thought Ye Lin was a decent person. She smiled brightly, her voice filled with joy: "Brother Ye Lin, what are you up to now?"
