People were walking and stopping around, all with a detached smile on their faces. In such a setting, Gu Ningyue found the two in front of her particularly warm. Even just listening to Ling Tianyou and Liu Liu chatting casually, standing as an outsider, she didn’t feel uncomfortable.
After all, compared to others, these two people made her feel safer.
"If Tianze doesn’t have much to do lately, let him return to the company to help!" Ling Tianyou said, "So projects need soone to take over, and Tianze will have to handle company matters in the future. Staying at ho all the ti, sooner or later Dad will send him to the company."
Since Ling Tianze and Liu Liu returned to the country, they’ve been staying ho with the elders and not handling much of the family business, which has mostly been managed by Ling Tianyou.
Although the property belongs to both brothers, right now Ling Tianyou is almost single-handedly holding power, and these two didn’t think much about it.
"Brother, this is really putting in a tough spot." Liu Liu said bitterly, "Mom and Dad have ntioned it to him several tis at ho too. He’s used to freedom. How would he be willing to work? Lately, all he’s been doing is asking for a second child, and I don’t know where he t an Italian-Chinese. He goes out to play golf, and even I can rarely find him."
Italian-Chinese? Gu Ningyue flashed a figure in her mind, and a bad feeling arose.
Past mories surfaced in her mind; Bai Chengfan’s face had beco blurred, but his blood-stained hands were as clear as ever.
Calculating the ti, the sensational "Living Yama" should be out of prison.
But it probably wouldn’t be such a coincidence, right? Even if he’s released, Bai Chengfan wouldn’t quickly connect with soone of Ling Tianze’s status, being penniless.
After all, judging by Ling Tianze’s deanor, he was very natural, not like soone who had touched Bai Chengfan’s stuff.
Plus, there was no peculiar sll on him.
It must be that I’ve been too tense recently, causing such an illusion.
Her thoughts went unnoticed by Ling Tianyou beside her, who just smiled at Liu Liu and said, "I’ll try persuading him later. Since he wants a second child, he should have the ans to support a family. If he disagrees, Liu Liu, you’ll have sothing to say."
"Well, thank you in advance, brother." Liu Liu smiled, "He should start doing so serious work."
Despite Ling Tianze having no bad habits, he cos from a big family with vast assets.
Having good parents and a good brother has given him too many advantages.
His life experiences are almost complete, but his achievents still lack.
They talked unknowingly for a long ti, and Ling Tianze returned alone to the three.
Liu Liu asked, "Where’s Xiao Xuan? How co it’s only you?"
Ling Tianze took her hand, "Just saw Young Madam Lin; she happened to bring Xiao Han, so they went off to play together."
Liu Liu nodded, although she didn’t say anything, her eyes seed sowhat reproachful.
With so many people around, how could he let his precious son be entrusted to soone else?
"Ah, it’s fine. Young Madam Lin is very reliable." Seeing his wife’s look, Ling Tianze playfully said, "Let Xiao Xuan play for a while, and I’ll go bring him back, okay?"
Liu Liu didn’t speak but looked helplessly at Ling Tianyou and Gu Ningyue.
Ling Tianyou looked at his brother and said, "Tianze, co back to the company and help in a few days! There’s too much going on lately, and I’m really overwheld."
Ling Tianze froze upon hearing this, "Brother, maybe after a while! I’m a bit busy lately, promised a friend to help with so things; it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave it just as it’s starting."
"When will it be finished?" Ling Tianyou wasn’t surprised by the reply but pressed, "Finish it quickly and co to the company! You haven’t figured out our family matters yet, but you seem particularly focused on your friend’s, if Dad finds out, he’ll scold you again."
Ling Tianze nodded, maybe pondering sothing, but replied readily, "Okay, I’ll go to the company once I finish my current tasks."
Ling Tianyou glanced at Liu Liu, who chuckled with tears in her eyes, "Only brother’s words work. I’ve tried persuading him several tis at ho, and he was very impatient."
"No way!" Ling Tianze retorted, clutching her hand, "I said I’ll go once I’m not busy anymore, but you keep pushing ; it makes uncomfortable."
Liu Liu withdrew her arm, whispering, "Who knows when you won’t be busy..."
Seeing the two about to argue over this, Ling Tianyou diated the situation, allowing them to turn the page on the matter.
Liu Liu was probably used to it, took Gu Ningyue’s arm, and said, "Sister-in-law, shall we sit over there for a while?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, followed Liu Liu to the rest area, leaving Ling Tianyou and Ling Tianze quietly talking where they stood, "Brother, Xiao Xuan’s been behaving since you guys returned ho last ti."
Ling Tianyou nodded, "That’s good."
"It’s all thanks to sister-in-law," Ling Tianze watched the disappearing figure in a dress among the crowd, "Without her, this kid might’ve been a real handful."
A ripple appeared on Ling Tianyou’s usually calm face, "Hmm? Does this have sothing to do with her?"
"Yeah! I was curious at first too, how Xiao Xuan beca so much quieter; I thought he might be up to sothing bad again. But one day I asked him and found out it was sister-in-law who disciplined him." Ling Tianze smiled, "Bla us for being stupid, letting a child understand how unacceptable his behavior is just by making him experience it."
Ling Tianyou’s mouth curled slightly, "She just has a lot of crooked ideas."
Despite saying this, his facial expression couldn’t hide the truth. Ling Tianze lightly nudged him, "Brother, have you...?"
Ling Tianyou was puzzled, "What?"
Ling Tianze winked and whispered, "Just that!"
Ling Tianyou still didn’t understand, "I don’t get what you’re saying!"
Ling Tianze got impatient, leaned toward his brother’s ear, and whispered sothing, making Ling Tianyou’s smile stiffen a bit.
Seeing his brother’s expression, Ling Tianze’s eyes widened, "No way, brother, you’ve been living together for so long, and you haven’t...?"
Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No, no rush."
Thinking of Gu Ningyue’s enchanting face, Ling Tianze doubted his brother for the first ti, "Brother, you wouldn’t really be incapable, would you!"
"Rascal, what are you saying!" Ling Tianyou raised his eyes, looking just like Mr. Ling.
Ling Tianze shrank his neck, "Brother don’t get angry, I just thought a normal guy wouldn’t be able to control himself against a beauty like sister-in-law..."
Ling Tianyou retorted, "When you were chasing Liu Liu, did you move in first and buy a ticket later?"
"Of course not!" Ling Tianze reflexively replied, "I’ve never forced her to do anything she didn’t want!"
