Tang Ze had never ntioned his family affairs or relatives to anyone, as if he had sprung from the cracks of a stone.
To the people at Peak, Tang Ze was the epito of soone who took care of himself without worrying about his family; always minding other people’s business, he never even had a girlfriend like a monk. But only Tang Ze knew that so people were not ant for marriage and having children, and he was one of them.
Yu Wei was the daughter of his stepfather; they were legally siblings. However, he didn’t want such a reconstituted family, so he had started working on his own at an early age. Due to the conflicts, he had never returned ho over the years, but so destinies, once intertwined, could never be separated again.
...
Tang Ze asked Dr. Sun to give Cao Yixuan a clear ssage; she seized the chance of delivering an invitation and personally made her way to Cao Yixuan’s apartnt.
Logically speaking, their interaction wasn’t sufficient, and it seed strange for Sun Ling to co over with an invitation like this. But since it was a request from Tang Ze, it was best to handle the matter sooner rather than later to avoid misunderstandings.
Cao Yixuan was also surprised when she opened the door.
But what was Dr. Sun’s EQ? Seeing Cao Yixuan’s awkwardness, she hastily said, "No need for gifts, it’s just a gathering, and there’s also the wedding later..."
Cao Yixuan chuckled, "Please co in."
"Actually, I’m here today not just to deliver the invitation." After Sun Ling entered, she began to look around the apartnt.
If anyone said Tang Ze wasn’t attentive, she wouldn’t believe them even if her life depended on it.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it." Cao Yixuan said while pouring water for her.
"Although you’re Ze’s artist, as the artist director, I should co over to check on your needs, regardless of the reason. I don’t know if Ze has told you, but during the contract period, you can’t engage in romance," Sun Ling said, sitting on the couch and looking into Cao Yixuan’s eyes.
"Is this a company policy... or?"
Sun Ling hesitated, then spoke the truth, "A personal request."
"I understand." Cao Yixuan smiled, grasping Sun Ling’s intention behind the visit.
Sun Ling saw the disappointnt in her eyes and quickly waved her hands, "It’s not about you, it’s not that you’re not good, your figure and appearance are all great. I even think Tang Ze is blind... well, not just think, he is blind."
This ti, Cao Yixuan laughed even louder.
"I get it, don’t worry, I know how to get along with him."
"That’s good to hear," Dr. Sun patted her chest in relief.
"Making you co here as a diator isn’t easy, is it? Tough job, right?"
Even so, there was no aggression, no hostility, not even displeasure from Cao Yixuan.
"I’ll help you look for a good man. Our company has so many young talents, and we’re not interested in that type... Tang Ze is like mineral water, really bland when let out."
The more they talked, the more animated they beca, and to Sun Ling’s surprise, she ended up staying from the afternoon until the evening.
Tang Ze knew Dr. Sun had gone to Cao Yixuan’s apartnt, so he parked his car down her building, where he sat for several hours until Jing Yizhou ca to pick soone up. To avoid Jing Yizhou, Tang Ze had to drive away from the vicinity of the apartnt.
...
In recent days, Tang Ze had been running back and forth between work and the Ruilin Hotel.
Yu Wei’s emotions were very unstable, and her ex-husband was still harassing her incessantly.
Tang Ze had hired a few helpers, but Yu Wei dismissed them all for various reasons, leaving no suitable aides for her to choose from.
High pressure combined with intense ntal strain forced Tang Ze to doze off in the nanny van while escorting Cao Yixuan to a fashion show.
Seeing that he was very tired, Cao Yixuan said to him upon getting out of the vehicle, "I can go in by myself; you should catch so sleep in the car."
"I can still hold on," Tang Ze said ungraciously, but when he got out of the car, he was clearly unsteady on his feet.
Cao Yixuan hurriedly supported him, then reached out to feel his forehead, discovering he was running a fever.
From inside the pocket, the persistent ringing of the cell phone could be heard. Cao Yixuan helped him back into the car and then took the mobile out of his pocket to answer the call.
"Tang Ze, co and stay with ; I’m really about to break down."
It was that sa woman seeking help again.
Cao Yixuan knew it was not her place to speak, so she held the phone to Tang Ze’s ear and said, "Your call. I’m heading up to work now; you don’t need to wait for , I’ll head back to the office by myself later."
Although Cao Yixuan had her own agenda, she was straightforward in her statent, hoping only that the woman on the other end of the line would refrain from making wild guesses.
Tang Ze took the phone, leaning against the seat, and looked at the number displayed on the screen with a surge of irritation. Only after Cao Yixuan got out did he vent, "Do you think you’re the most pitiable person in the world? As if others don’t have work to do or als to eat, having to revolve around you 24/7?"
"Brother, that’s not what I ant."
"If that’s not what you ant, then don’t call during work hours." After saying that, Tang Ze ended the call and put the phone down.
Seeing that he was in bad shape, the driver turned and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital, or should I take you back to Peak first?"
"No need, just wait for Cao Yixuan to co out," Tang Ze waved his hand and gestured for the driver to park in the parking lot as he could only rest briefly in the car.
"Recently, have you been entangled with so trouble?" the driver asked Tang Ze after parking the car.
"It’s family trouble," Tang Ze cryptically replied, downplaying the matter.
The driver didn’t press further, and Tang Ze was about to rest his eyes but within minutes, he opened them again and said to the driver, "Take to Ruilin Hotel."
He knew clearly that if he ignored Yu Wei at this mont, she would only escalate the matter.
But because of Tang Ze’s action, the driver assud he was hiding a love affair and was embroiled in romantic trouble.
...
By eleven o’clock in the afternoon, the practice for Yunlian Studio’s traditional-style fashion show had ended, and Cao Yixuan also finished her work smoothly. She walked out from backstage only to find that Tang Ze didn’t answer her calls, and with no sign of him nearby, she took a taxi back to her apartnt on her own.
By the ti Tang Ze rembered her and called, she had already taken a bath and prepared lunch at ho.
"I’m sorry."
"There’s nothing to apologize for, Brother Tang. If you’re too stretched thin, there’s no need for you to go out of your way for . I know Sun Ling is the artist supervisor; I’ve already requested An Lan that I don’t need any special treatnt," Cao Yixuan politely replied.
"Sun Ling has just fought a good battle and has plenty of experience in leading others; you’re better off following her than ," Tang Ze said over the phone.
"I know, but in the first few days I t you, you were witty and humorous. Lately, you’ve been clearly out of sorts; I hope everything goes well for you."
"Thank you."
With nothing more to say, both of them hung up the phone.
Tang Ze put away his phone and then turned to Yu Wei, "Are you satisfied now?"
