The villainous female supporting character beckons, and the aloof male lead kneels down to pamper he

Lin Shuyao took one look and realized that it was Cheng Zheng's mother.

Why are you looking for her again?

However, we still have to put on a show of it.

Aunt Gao.

Lin Shuyao gave a smiley face.

Gao Jie smiled and glanced at her smooth, fair, and incredibly beautiful face. To be fair, if it weren't for the fact that she was an illegitimate child, she and her son would be quite a good match.

One is aloof and handsome, the other is charming and alluring.

They're so compatible together.

But... oh no, absolutely not.

"Comrade Shen, I'm here today to ask you about someone," Gao Jie got to the point, "Zhao Tiemei works in your department, right?"

"Hmm. What's wrong?" Lin Shuyao blinked, puzzled.

Gao Jie: "Looks like I made the right choice asking you. Tell your aunt what you think of this Comrade Zhao Tiemei? My friend wants to introduce her to you, Brother Cheng Zheng. She said she's also in the technical department and you both have military academy backgrounds, so you'll have common topics. I was thinking of asking around."

When Lin Shuyao heard that he was asking about someone, she thought it was something serious, but now she realized that he was just trying to give her some pointers.

If you really want to find out, why ask her of all people?

It seems that Zhou Liya's case fell through last time, and this time it's Zhao Tiemei's turn.

However, since Aunt Gao hadn't made it clear, she couldn't let anyone find fault with her, so she smiled politely and said, "Auntie, although Comrade Zhao Tiemei and I are in the same department, we don't have much contact at work or in private. Why don't you ask Brother Cheng Zheng? He should know."

Gao Jie smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I don't want to find him. You know he's busy, and with his personality, he's completely focused on his work. When it comes to choosing a partner, if I ask for his opinion, he just says to listen to me and do whatever I arrange. I can't get any answers from him."

Busy? Lin Shuyao couldn't help but chuckle to herself. This busy man had just bought her breakfast and even ate with her in the grove. She hadn't realized he was so busy.

"Aunt Gao, I can't help with this. Why don't you ask Comrade Su Wan? She works in the same department as Comrade Zhao."

Lin Shuyao shifted the blame to someone else.

Just don't bother her.

Gao Jie went along with it, and also took the opportunity to give Su Wan a nudge: "Alright, I'll go ask her. If your brother Cheng Zheng and Comrade Zhao Tiemei get married, you and Su Wan should both come to their wedding."

"Definitely." Lin Shuyao's expression remained impassive.

But they had a falling out during lunch.

The two had originally planned to go back to Cheng Zheng's office for lunch after getting their food.

When Cheng Zheng returned to his office after getting his meal, he waited for Lin Shuyao for a long time but she never showed up.

He sensed something was wrong, so he went back to the cafeteria and saw her chatting and laughing with Gao Tingting while queuing at the window, holding trays in their hands but not lunchboxes.

"Shen Qing, come out here for a moment, I have something to ask you." He deliberately put on a stern face and spoke very seriously.

Everyone around assumed it was something at work, but Lin Shuyao knew exactly what was going on. She awkwardly returned the plate and followed him out.

The two people stood behind a large, deserted tree.

"Why didn't you come at noon?"

Lin Shuyao pouted, giving him a wry look with her watery eyes: "...You're about to go on a blind date with Zhao Tiemei, and you're still asking me out for dinner..."

"What Zhao Tiemei blind date? I have no idea. Who told you that?" Cheng Zheng said anxiously.

"Your mom came to see me, asking how Zhao Tiemei is, and saying she wants to introduce you to her... and you even yelled at me..."

"I didn't yell at you," Cheng Zheng quickly explained. "If I hadn't been serious with you just now, you wouldn't have come out with me, even though we made plans to have dinner together."

Lin Shuyao bit her lower lip, remaining silent.

Cheng Zheng comforted him, feeling sorry for him, "Don't worry, who I date is my business, my mom can't control that. You don't need to take her words to heart. I won't go on a blind date with Zhao Tiemei, really! She's just not my type!"

If it weren't for his family, he would have brought Lin Shuyao home long ago.

He hasn't figured out how to cover up Lin Shuyao's identity yet. He's thinking of a foolproof plan to give her a completely new identity so that she can get rid of the title of illegitimate child and they can be together openly without having to worry about their families.

He couldn't tell her until this matter was settled.

I can't officially establish a relationship with her either.

"How about coming back to the office with me for lunch? I made you sweet and sour pork ribs, sliced ​​red sausage, beef meatballs, and... Trust me, I'll talk to my mom and promise she won't bother you anymore, okay? Give me some time to sort things out at home, and then I'll..." He leaned down slightly, got close to her, and whispered something in her ear.

Lin Shuyao blushed with embarrassment, half-soothed by his coaxing, then widened her almond-shaped eyes and glared at him with a mix of coquettishness and reproach: "Are you feeding a pig? Why did you bring so many vegetables..."

Cheng Zheng's lips curled up slightly: "I eat more than you, am I a pig? Let's go, let's go..."

He pushed Lin Shuyao toward the office building.

Without the shade of the big tree, the two of them resumed their serious demeanor once they went outside. They stood a meter apart, Cheng Zheng with cold and aloof features, making Lin Shuyao want to laugh at his serious expression.

I wonder who was making those vows and promises in private just now.

She wasn't aloof at all.

He's a total repressed pervert, absolutely a repressed pervert!

Once in the office and the door closed, Cheng Zheng was no longer aloof. He pulled Lin Shuyao to sit down in a chair and then opened the lids of the lunchboxes on his desk one by one.

The aroma of delicious food filled the air.

Lin Shuyao was also hungry, so she sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating. Cheng Zheng pulled up a chair and sat down next to her to eat together.

He kept putting a piece of pork rib in her lunchbox, then a meatball. He even gave her instructions like he was giving a child a pep talk.

"Try it, it's delicious."

Eat more.

"You're so thin, have a couple more bites."

Watching her chubby cheeks as she ate, he would stop and turn to look at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes. With his high nose, thin lips, and handsome features, he was even more dashing when he smiled than when he was cold.

"What are you looking at... Hurry up and eat..." Lin Shuyao was embarrassed and glared at him with her watery eyes.

She's so beautiful that even her glare has a unique charm.

Anyway, it's not fierce at all.

Cheng Zheng smiled and reached out to touch her rosy cheek. "Let's stop watching and eat."

What Lin Shuyao couldn't finish, Cheng Zheng naturally took care of.

After they finished eating, Cheng Zheng told Lin Shuyao to rest. He stacked the lunchboxes together and carried them out to wash them.

Lin Shuyao felt embarrassed to do nothing, so she took his enamel cup and went to the sink.

"I'll wash the cup for you."

She turned on the tap, and her petal-like fingertips washed every nook and cranny of his cup with the water.

Then, after draining the water by turning it upside down, I put it back in the office and went back to the water room to keep him company.

Cheng Zheng was still washing his clothes when his sleeves slipped down. Lin Shuyao quickly helped him roll them up, and as she did so, her fingertips touched the muscles of his forearm. She playfully pinched them and said, "They're so hard."

It's really powerful.

Cheng Zheng blushed from her praise and whispered something in her ear.

Lin Shuyao raised her hand and slapped his chest, then glared at him sweetly, "One day I'm going to record everything you say and play it for everyone to see, to expose your true colors as a representative!"

Cheng Zheng's lips curled up slightly: "I really do have a tape recorder at home, and I can play tapes, foreign songs. Want to play? I'll bring you some tomorrow."

"Okay." Lin Shuyao nodded. There aren't many forms of entertainment these days, so it would be nice to listen to music to pass the time.

……

Lin Shuyao didn't expect the tape recorder to be so big.

The next morning, Cheng Zheng arrived at the dormitory entrance very early and carried it downstairs for her.

Lin Shuyao struggled to carry it back to her dormitory.

Just as I entered, before I could even close the door, Su Wan from across the hall came out to take her child to school.

"Comrade Shen, what are you holding?"

"Oh, a tape recorder."

"A tape recorder? The kind that can play cassette tapes? I saw a family member use one in the military family compound."

"Mmm." Lin Shuyao smiled and nodded, then closed the door.

Su Wan stared at the closed door for two seconds, stunned. A hand and a tape recorder—had Shen Qing struck it rich? Where did he get so much money to buy things?

She wasn't raised by her adoptive parents, so why were they so good to her? Or is her true identity actually...?

"Mom, what's a tape recorder?! I want one too!" Tiger tugged at Su Wan's sleeve. Su Wan glared at her son, "What do you mean you want one? Mom can't afford that thing!"

"Let Uncle Cheng buy it!"

"You wish! Your Uncle Cheng is going to be set up on a blind date with Aunt Tie Mei, who is supposed to be your aunt." Su Wan recalled Gao Jie's warning to her yesterday and subtly inquired about Zhao Tie Mei's situation.

"I don't want to!" Tiger resisted fiercely. "I want Uncle Cheng to be my dad, then he can buy it for me!"

"Then you need to behave better and know how to coax people. You can't keep acting like this."

"Mom, what does it mean to be good at comforting people?"

"..."

After school on Friday, Hu Zi went to the administration office with Su Wan. When he saw Cheng Zheng, Hu Zi ran up to him and hugged his leg, shouting, "Uncle Cheng! Uncle Cheng!"

"I miss you so much! Why haven't you come to see me in so long?"

Cheng Zheng ruffled his hair: "Uncle's been busy. How's school been lately?"

"I'm doing really well at school, Uncle. I even got a perfect score! Look at my test paper!" Tiger pulled out a folded test paper from his pocket, which had 100 points written on it.

"That's good. What kind of reward would you like?"

"Can you give me any reward I want?"

"Tell me about it."

"Then I want you to be my dad!"
