Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

But seeing Su Nanqin's reaction today, he suddenly realized that perhaps he shouldn't have been so fierce.

But besides being fierce, he couldn't find a better way to deal with Su Nanqin's willful and unruly nature.

This was a dangerous signal that was beyond his control; he never knew what Su Nanqin would do next.

Lu Fang gently rested his head on Su Nanqin's forehead, feeling conflicted and exhausted for the first time.

He didn't want to scare the other person, and he couldn't bear to reprimand them harshly.

But more than these mild reprimands, he was worried that one day he would not be able to protect the other person.

He had enough of the pain of losing his loved ones once; he didn't want to experience it a second time.

When Su Nanqin woke up again, Lu Fang was not in the room.

He turned to look out the window; dusk was falling, and it was almost dark.

His head was still a little heavy, and he tried to shake it to recall what had happened before he fell asleep.

The broken porcelain shards and mess on the ground should have been cleaned up by Lu Fang.

Su Nanqin tried to recall, but could hardly remember anything, only that he had vomited profusely in the bathroom at the time.

He vaguely remembered having a dream in which he kept begging Lu Fang not to hit him.

It hurt too much; he didn't want to think about it anymore.

He raised his hand and looked at his palm.

It was a dream, he was almost certain.

Aside from feeling a bit empty after vomiting, I felt much more awake after a good night's sleep.

With Lu Fang not around, he actually felt a little more at ease. He really didn't know how to face Lu Fang right now.

Although Lu Fang wasn't serious.

But I did cause Lu Fang a lot of trouble yesterday and today.

But when I think of Wei Chi, and what Lu Fang said that night...

He instinctively didn't want to admit his mistake or back down.

You could see Lu Fang's face, which was either calm or expressionless, and at most, his tone was fierce.

He felt truly wronged and distressed.

He instinctively didn't want to think about these things anymore.

Only Lu Fang would make him consider both the immediate and the long-term implications.

If it were someone else I didn't like, the problem would be solved much more easily and effortlessly.

He only needs to use some means to keep them by his side.

But he couldn't do that to Lu Fang; the other party would hate him.

What he wanted wasn't Lu Fang himself, but rather the other party's unbridled favoritism.

Xiao Zhou had somehow managed to get his computer delivered from the helicopter.

Perhaps because she had taken a nap and sorted things out, Su Nanqin suddenly felt less sad.

He turned on his computer and made a video call to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was still working overtime; after Su Nanqin left, many things had unknowingly piled up on his shoulders.

Lin Yi looked at the other person as if he had seen a savior: "President Su, you finally called."

Then she remembered Lu Fang's stern questioning on the phone yesterday.

She lowered her head somewhat ashamed, her voice growing softer and softer: "Mr. Lu called yesterday, sounding rather anxious, and I said..."

This was the first time he had failed to complete the task assigned by Su Nanqin, mainly because Lu Fang's pressure was too strong.

Su Nanqin glanced at Lin Yi, as if she could see Lu Fang's fierce face through the other's lowered head.

He looked down at his palms, and after a long while said, "It's not your fault, I ran away without telling him."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. When did his CEO Su become so lenient? Not only did she not scold him, but she even took the blame upon herself.

Su Nanqin didn't continue the topic. Although she felt a bit better after a nap, she still didn't look well, and her tone was cold: "How's the company?"

"No problem, everything is normal. Except for the project in the southern suburbs, which might require you to come back to handle, there are basically no other issues," Lin Yi reported truthfully.

"Southern Suburbs?" Su Nanqin was somewhat surprised. It was a key project in the past two years, and he remembered that its progress had been normal.

How could a problem suddenly occur? If Lin Yi says there's a problem, then it must be something serious.

Lin Yi has always been very discreet and would not report trivial matters that would make him worry thousands of kilometers away.

Lin Yi glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It's related to the Gu family's daughter, and it seems that Chairman Su was also involved."

Upon hearing this, Su Nanqin unconsciously clenched his fist beside him and gave a light scoff.

"He's already a skeleton and still won't give up. He really naively thinks that a marriage alliance with the Gu family will further consolidate his power. What wishful thinking! The Gu family is a wolf. If I hadn't been secretly keeping the old man in check all these years, he would have been devoured by them long ago."

Lin Yi didn't understand what the other person meant.

Su Nanqin adjusted his posture, his eyes sharp and his voice cold: "I will deal with the Gu family's little tricks sooner or later. Let them make trouble if they like to. They are just clowns jumping around. No one can cause any trouble under my control."

His tone was as cold as if it had been chilled to the bone.

Lin Yi's hand holding the phone trembled involuntarily on the other end of the line.

This was the sentence that Lu Fang heard when he pushed open the door.

Su Nanqin was usually obedient and meek in front of him; he had almost never seen Su Nanqin like this before.

For a moment, Lu Fang felt that the other person was somewhat similar to Su Nanqin, who had been aloof and cold when they first met.

Su Nanqin seemed surprised that Lu Fang would return, and for a moment she said to the person opposite her in a flustered manner, "Let's talk about this when I get back."

He hung up the phone in a hurry.

Lu Fang also noticed that Su Nanqin seemed somewhat afraid of him and also a little awkward.

He put the things he bought on the table and asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Lu Fang had barely spoken to her these past two days, making Su Nanqin feel a little uneasy: "I'm not feeling bad anymore..."

Lu Fang put down his things and turned to look at him.

Su Nanqin obediently sat cross-legged on the bed and watched him.

Lu Fang noticed that the other person had taken a nap, and their face was flushed.

He took two steps forward, stood in front of Su Nanqin, and reached out to check if her temperature was normal.

As soon as he raised his hand, Su Nanqin looked at him warily.

Lu Fang now understood what the other party was afraid of.

His heart tightened, then he sighed helplessly and said in a gentle tone, "Sweetie, come here, let me see if you have a fever."

Seeing that Lu Fang didn't mean it that way, Su Nanqin obediently moved forward and put her head in front of Lu Fang.

Lu Fang looked at the person sitting obediently on the bed wearing a hoodie and felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Nanqin seemed somewhat afraid of him.

Su Nanqin is the type of person who never learns from mistakes, and Lu Fang wanted to teach him a lesson so that he wouldn't dare to repeat it.

But that wasn't the effect he wanted.

He didn't know where the problem lay.

Su Nanqin's head was still obediently sticking out, and he saw that Lu Fang above him hadn't moved for a long time.

She then raised both eyes to look at him.

Perhaps because she had slept well, her complexion had improved considerably; her fair face looked even more adorable against the backdrop of her light blue sweatshirt.

Lu Fang actually liked him wearing hoodies; they gave him a youthful vibe and made him look much more energetic than those impeccably tailored suits.

Lu Fang looked down at him, while Su Nanqin looked up at him with some curiosity.

He looked rather cute, and Lu Fang's pent-up frustration from the day dissipated considerably. He raised his hand and touched the other person's forehead.

I didn't have a fever, but then I saw the other person looking up at me.

Unable to resist, he gently tapped the other person on the head, his tone more indulgent than affectionate: "You always give me so much trouble."

Su Nanqin shrank back after being hit, raising his hand to cover the spot where he had been hit.

Lu Fang didn't seem so angry anymore.

However, he wasn't quite sure.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Fang sat down next to him.

Su Nanqin turned off the computer and nodded obediently: "Yeah, I'm hungry."

He was so well-behaved that Lu Fang's heart softened, but he didn't tease him as usual.

He reached out and took the computer from Su Nanqin's hand, placed it on the cabinet, and then scooped Su Nanqin up and hugged him tightly.

A deep, magnetic voice came from above Su Nanqin's head: "Do you want me to feed you?"

Lu Fang did it on purpose.

The next second, I heard the person in my arms whisper, "I want to be fed."

The sound is a bit low.

Lu Fang heard this and asked, "Hmm?"

"I need to feed you." Su Nanqin suddenly became awkward and a little embarrassed.

He couldn't figure out what Lu Fang meant, whether he was angry or not.

We can only proceed cautiously and tentatively.

Lu Fang looked down and watched as the tips of the person in his arms gradually turned from porcelain white to crimson.

A slight smile played on her lips where Su Nanqin couldn't see, as she reached out and picked up the porridge she had just bought from the table.

I scooped up a small amount and put it to my lips to test it; it wasn't hot.

Then it was fed to Sunanqin.

Su Nanqin obediently leaned over and took it.

"Is it good?" Lu Fang asked.

Su Nanqin actually chewed it carefully, then nodded: "Delicious."

Lu Fang was satisfied and fed him another spoonful.

After taking a nap, Su Nanqin's appetite improved considerably. He was probably really hungry, and he quickly finished a bowl of porridge.

Some were still looking at the table with lingering interest, even though there was still more food on it.

Lu Fang put the bowl back on the table, understanding Su Nanqin's meaning: "You can't eat it now. If you want to eat it, buy some more tomorrow."

People with sensitive stomachs or who have vomited should not eat too much the first time they eat.

Su Nanqin's eyelashes drooped again, but she didn't make a fuss about wanting more.

Lu Fang saw this but didn't soften his heart. He gently flicked the other person's nose and coaxed, "Be a good girl and go to sleep tonight. We'll buy it tomorrow."

"Mmm," Su Nanqin replied in a slurred tone.

Looking at the docile person in his arms, Lu Fang felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He would rather Su Nanqin act up a bit.

-

Due to the weather, we were unable to go into the mountains.

However, it's still necessary to work on establishing connections within the town.

As long as there are no issues with the marble, Lu Fang has a high probability of developing this project.

The townspeople were hospitable, and on the third day, Zhou Ke organized a gathering to entertain Lu Fang and his party.

Lu Fang was worried that Su Nanqin wouldn't like to join in the fun, so he originally planned not to take her along.

It was only when I was tidying up in my room at night, preparing to go out, that I realized...

Su Nanqin sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him expectantly, as if she sensed something.

Just like the night Lu Fang came, he just sat there silently.

Lu Fang looked even more pitiful than he had that night.

Her little expressions really make her look like a young wife who's been abandoned.

Su Nanqin was indeed very sad. Lu Fang had called Zhou Ke in the morning, and Su Nanqin hadn't actually fallen asleep.

He had heard it too, and had been hoping all day that Lu Fang would offer to take him there.

But Lu Fang didn't mention it even as night fell.

Like a child eagerly anticipating being taken out to play by an adult, their mood gradually sank.

Even now, as Lu Fang is about to change his clothes and leave, he still hasn't mentioned taking him along.

Su Nanqin was very upset, but afraid that Lu Fang was still angry, he dared not say a word.

Su Nanqin considers it sacred to bring one's loved one to social occasions.

He symbolizes importance.

But it was obvious that Lu Fang had no such intention, and Su Nanqin knew that Lu Fang would definitely bring Wei Chi with him.

He felt even worse, his heart filled with mixed emotions, but he dared not utter a word, and sat on the edge of the bed swinging his legs.

Lu Fang was unaware of Su Nanqin's inner thoughts, and he didn't really think this was a particularly important social engagement.

He was more worried that Su Nanqin wouldn't be used to the food, and that Su Nanqin wouldn't be comfortable with being around those people.

Lu Fang is used to being rough and can get along with all kinds of people.

Su Nanqin was different; he possessed an air of refined elegance.

A group of grown men are bound to speak a bit roughly, and Lu Fang instinctively didn't want to take him along.

But it wasn't until he saw Su Nanqin's pitiful appearance that he suddenly realized that Su Nanqin might actually want to go.
