Shen Jingjue bowed to him calmly, which was a very good etiquette for a junior.
Even though this elder was very close to him, Liang Zi, he had always shown his face and given him small shoes to wear. But he loved Qiao'er and always respected Tang Dong's character, so he was still very humble, but also kind. Xie Jinhuan's attitude of rushing to fawn over is different.
"Mr. Tang, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy late at night. Please be careful of catching a cold."
Light but not dazzling, still water runs deep.
Upon closer inspection, it does feel quite comfortable, natural, and like a refreshing breeze.
Tang Wanting nodded lightly.
The top boss didn't have a bodyguard by his side. This made Tang Qiaoer panic and she hurriedly walked over, "Dad, why don't you bring someone with you? Come here alone, just in case..."
"Lao Qi is very capable. What's more, it's so late and I don't want to disturb their rest. By the way, I also want to see how my daughter is living in Shengjing and whether the house she lives in is comfortable."
Tang Wanting took a look at the villa and said, "Well, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. It can't be said to be spacious, but it's still cozy."
"You didn't pick the lock to get in, did you?" Tang Qiaoer's cheeks were filled with heat, but her mouth remained unforgiving.
She is shy because the villa where she lives alone has become her and Shen Jingjue's love nest, with traces of their lives everywhere inside.
"Your father, can't I be a normal person in your eyes?"
Tang Wanting had a dark look on his face, "Don't you have a nanny at home? She opened the door for me. She also made me tea and brought me snacks. I ate a few pieces and they tasted good. I asked Lao Qi to pack up the leftovers. I took everything with me."
Secretary Qi shook the transparent box in his hand.
"Lao Wan, you are so disgusting! Those are the snacks I made for Jingjue, keep them for me!"
Tang Qiaoer was so angry that she stomped her feet and stretched out her little white claws to grab it. Fortunately, Shen Jingjue caught her in time, "You have three women walking around you every day. I am the only one who is shocked!"
He hasn't eaten yet, how can you take advantage of him? Leave it here quickly!"
"Tsk, it's not a loss for you to honor your biological father with this snack. Besides, you can make it for him anytime he wants to eat it. If I want to eat it, I have to come to Shengjing. It's not easy. I won't give it! "Tang Wanting puffed his beard and glared, protecting his food very well.
after?
Both of them were startled and looked at each other in unison.
When Tang Wanting met Shen Jingjue this time, although it was not obvious, there was a subtle difference.
In the past, Lao Wan Na really wished he could beat them with a big stick every day. Not only did he not speak harshly to Shen Jingjue tonight, but what he said was also thought-provoking.
Shen Jing felt his heart beat faster and his palms began to sweat.
But he didn't dare to think too much. As long as there was a little bit of relief, he would be very satisfied.
In the end, Tang Qiaoer couldn't resist Lao Wan, so the snacks were taken away.
Baba has been making it all afternoon, and my man just took a bite, and it was all cheap to this old man, so angry!
"Hey, girl, I see you are in full swing. Your waist seems to be healed?" Tang Wanting was concerned about his daughter's injury.
"Okay, how can I be so fragile?" Tang Qiaoer straightened her waist and raised her delicate chin.
"Qiao'er, don't be brave. How can you possibly recover so quickly? It will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones."
Shen Jingjue frowned worriedly and exposed her on the spot, "Last night you were in so much pain that you couldn't sleep and couldn't even turn over. Why didn't you tell your dad the truth?"
"Where...where is it? You are the only one who talks a lot." Tang Qiaoer pursed her lips and elbowed him resentfully.
Tang Wanting saw the interaction between his daughter and Shen Jingjue, and his heart felt inexplicably wrapped in a layer of sweet warmth, as if he had been bombarded by sugar-coated bullets.
Even Secretary Qi, standing behind him, couldn't help but smile like an uncle.
"Mr. Shen, Qiaoqiao is not in good health. Although you are with me, as the president, you have so many things to do, and you cannot take care of her every day. I can't worry about my daughter, so I want to take her home and recuperate for a few days." sky."
The joke was over, the conversation was over, and Lao Wan got down to business.
"If I don't go back, who says I have no one to take care of me? The mother Wu I found for me is very reliable and takes good care of me every day! I don't want to go back." Tang Qiaoer said in front of the two men she loved most. In front of her, she started to play with her little nature, cute and charming.
Shen Jingjue stood beside her silently, his arm around her waist tightening slightly.
He actually wanted her to go home. Firstly, she would have someone to take care of her, and secondly, she could spend time with her family. But he really couldn't bear to be separated from her. He couldn't wait to waste every moment he spent with her. He stayed with her and loved her very much.
Even if they were separated for just one day, he would feel anxious and unable to bear the pain of missing her.
Seeing that Tang Qiaoer couldn't make sense, Tang Wanting looked at Shen Jingjue again with a serious expression, "Mr. Shen, although my daughter has married you, you are no longer a couple after all, and you and Qiaoqiao are not from ordinary backgrounds. I don't think it's appropriate to live together like this.
I think if Mr. Shen really wants to have a future with Qiaoqiao, he should take it step by step and not rush it. Are you right?"
Shen Jingjue took a deep breath and gently but hesitantly pushed his beloved woman over.
"Qiaoqiao, let's go home with dad first and recuperate."
"You... are you asking me to leave?" Tang Qiaoer's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was an abandoned kitten, and her eye circles were gradually turning red.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not chasing you, I'm... for your own good." Shen Jing felt a lump in his throat, and his heart ached when he saw her pitiful little expression.
"Then you, will you go to Haimen to find me?" Tang Qiaoer asked with trembling lips.
"Of course, I will definitely come find you in a few days."
But God knows, he won't be able to bear it for a few days.
He even wanted to leave for Haimen at dawn, even if he just stayed outside the door of Yuetang Garden, at least he would be closer to her.
Tang Wanting suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.
But he would rather be the sinner than he can rest assured that Qiaoqiao will be alone in Shengjing.
You know, she had just offended the Shen family and the Huo family, and the Huo family's dog had just "bitten" her hard. It was hard to say what bad things she would do next. When he thought about it, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep. Sleep.
Finally, Tang Qiaoer followed her father into the car and left.
Late at night, Shen was shocked to see his handsome and tall figure standing in the wind for a long time, watching the luxury car drive away.
Until he could no longer see it, he lowered his head, clenched his fists patiently, and his eyes were filled with mist.
Han Xian felt that his master couldn't be more pitiful, so he could only comfort in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, don't worry, the young lady just went home, it's not like she won't come back to you. A little farewell is better than a wedding."
Shen Jingjue gradually lost sight of what was in front of him, and his voice was hoarse, "I know, I just feel... I failed to take care of her."
…
Rolls-Royce sailed towards the sea gate in the night.
In the back seat of the car, Tang Qiaoer leaned in her father's arms and didn't say a word for a long time.
Tang Wanting put his arm around her shoulders, patted her gently like a child, and asked in a gentle voice: "Qiaoqiao, are you blaming me?"
Tang Qiaoer shook her head, "I know you are doing it for my own good."
After a while, Tang Wanting suddenly heard soft sobs, and his clothes felt warm and moist.
"Qiaoqiao? Are you...crying?"
"Dad...I think I'm surprised...I miss him so much..."
It had been too long, and Tang Qiao'er hadn't thrown herself into his arms crying and acting coquettishly like she did now. But Tang Wanting felt sad in his heart and his eyes were moist.
When Tang Qiu married and moved to Mori State, he was not so deeply touched.
But now that he saw Qiaoqiao and Shen Jingjue loving each other so much, he felt like the flesh on his heart had been cut off by that kid. That kind of pain, that kind of reluctance, people who weren't fathers couldn't understand at all.
My pretty.
This time, dad, I really can’t keep you.
*
After Tang Qiaoer returned home, she locked herself in her room, wrapped herself in a quilt and talked on the phone with Shen Jingjue.
She talked non-stop, like a little chatterbox. The man was listening to her patiently across from her, and from time to time he would agree with her ideas or add to her suggestions.
Two people with connected souls and similar outlooks really have endless things to say.
Tang Qiaoer's head felt dizzy afterwards and she fell asleep without realizing it.
The next day, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched comfortably.
"Girl, it seems you slept well."
?!
Tang Qiaoer took a breath, turned over suddenly and picked up the phone that was still on, "Surprise?! You...why are you still here?!"
Over there, the man's voice was slightly hoarse, clearly showing fatigue, "While we were chatting last night, you lost your voice. I think you must have fallen asleep."
"so you……"
"I'm not willing to hang up. After all, the chances of hearing you grinding your teeth and snoring while you're awake are not many." Shen Jingjue smiled softly.
Tang Qiaoer's cheeks turned red and her head shrank into the quilt, "You're talking nonsense...I don't have one! Beautiful girls don't grind their teeth and snore!"
"Okay, okay... I heard wrong." He coaxed, but couldn't help but yawn.
"Go to bed quickly. After staying up all night, your blood will be drained." Tang Qiaoer felt extremely distressed.
"By the way, Qiao'er, maybe we can meet again soon. Over the weekend, Wilson and his son held a cocktail party at the castle villa outside Shengjing. He informed the four major families, and your father should also know.
We will meet when the time comes."
"The Wilsons are hosting a reception? It seems they have something important to announce." Tang Qiaoer's almond-shaped eyes sparkled.
"I think we want to announce who we will eventually cooperate with."
"Your dad probably hasn't taken the trouble these days. He will definitely not give up the opportunity to cooperate with J Group."
"Qin Shu's matter has already made him very worried. He has no time to take care of the Wilsons and his son."
Shen Jingjue's voice suddenly deepened, "But I don't know if there will be any action from my elder brother."
"Surprise, although your eldest brother is ill and recuperating in country m, you should not take it lightly. The last time you signed a contract with J Group was his debut. Since he made a move, it means that he will come back sooner or later." Tang Qiaoer couldn't help but
Worried about him.
"Qiao'er, you're really afraid that I'll be a softie." The man joked with a smile.
"Seriously!"
"I'm not afraid that my eldest brother will come back, and I'm not afraid of confronting him head-on. Under the premise of fair competition, he wants to get back what belongs to him, and I will definitely have no complaints."
Tang Qiaoer knew that the kidnapping case that year was something he couldn't get over, and he always felt that he owed Shen Jingzhe a favor.
"But if he operates in secret and uses unfair means, I will never let him. In this Jockey Club, it is you Down's who will come out on top. If Andrew wants to be a man, he should choose you without hesitation.
But if my elder brother or others want to interfere with it, I will not sit idly by and do nothing."
Shen Jingjue's voice gently touched her ears, which was particularly touching, "I'm here, don't worry."
…
Chu Rou did not go on vacation as she said, but stayed at home, taking care of Lao Wan and cooking for the family as usual.
Her life did not change in any way because of Qin Shu's disgrace. She remained indifferent, calm and at ease.
She was grateful to Tang Qiaoer for avenging her, but she had a lover, relatives, and a daughter, so hatred had long been insignificant in her eyes.
Tang Qiaoer happily drank the pigeon soup that Chu Rou made for her to replenish energy and blood.
The three ladies surrounded her, and they were relieved when they saw that she looked good.
"It seems that brat has taken good care of you."
Jiang Susu rested his hand on his chin, tutted and shook his head, "After what you said, I really admire Shen Jingjue. For a pampered young master to be a housekeeper for you, this is not a small sacrifice."
"Indeed, Wan Ting would definitely not do the same thing. He is so arrogant." Liu Minzhi joked.
Tang Qiaoer showed a triumphant expression, feeling that she had found a treasure.
"Qiaoqiao, please wait patiently. Wan Ting is already thinking about what I want to do with Mr. Shen. He just has too much self-esteem and can't find a way out."
Chu Rou's words surprised the other three women and made them overjoyed.
"Really?!"
"Before, Wan Ting has always been interested in Fourth Young Master Xie, and has been creating opportunities for you and Fourth Young Master Xie. But after the last horse racing meeting, I feel that Wan Ting is not so repulsive to Mr. Shen.
And he made it very clear to Fourth Young Master Xie that day that he would no longer interfere with your relationship with Mr. Shen, and everything would take its course."
Tang Qiaoer was so excited that she drank another large bowl of soup.
It’s really as if the clouds have cleared and the moon is bright!
"Mrs. Third, Miss Ninth and Secretary Lin are here. They are in the living room downstairs." The housekeeper came over to report.
Chu Rou's expression froze slightly, "I know, I'll be there in a moment."
"Aunt Rou, you don't look right, what's the matter?" Tang Qiao'er was very attentive and noticed something strange about her.
Chu Rou didn't know how to speak, but Jiang Susu spoke quickly, "Wan Ting knows about Secretary Lin and Ah Jin.
Wan Ting disagrees with this relationship. Moreover, Secretary Lin's eldest brother is now serving as Qin Shu's defense lawyer, and his father, Judge Lin, supports his son in serving the Shen family, which makes Wan Ting even more unhappy."
