Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Fu Zhengting glanced at Uncle Zhong with a hint of reproach. They almost kissed just now, ruining such a nice atmosphere.

Mu Tiantian bent down and put the pile of oranges into the fourth empty basket.

"You stole so many oranges from me." Fu Zhengting wanted to tease her even more when he saw the girl blush.

"Mr. Fu, if I don't steal them, these oranges will rot on the ground." Mu Tiantian knew the man was joking with her, so she replied in a joking tone.

Waste is shameful. She feels it's a pity to waste even a single sheet of paper, let alone food.

She used a tissue to wipe until it couldn't be wiped anymore before throwing it away.

"I was supposed to have Anan handle it today, but he's on leave," Fu Zhengting explained.

Although he came from a wealthy family, he also deeply abhorred extravagance and waste.

Every time he went to a restaurant for a meeting, he would repeatedly emphasize that we should not waste ingredients and that we should vigorously promote the DVD campaign.

My grandfather came from a time of hardship during the revolutionary era and knew the importance of food. He taught his children from a young age not to waste food.

These orange trees were planted by Uncle Zhong, who doesn't really like eating oranges.

Uncle Zhong felt that the villa was too empty, so he added a vegetable garden and an orchard.

Mu Tiantian understood. She knew that Mr. Fu was not the kind of person who would be extravagant and wasteful.

She bent down, grabbed a few more, and put them in the basket. She smiled at the man and said, "Mr. Fu, I can help you with that."

He's got so much money, he should do more work.

"What does Anan usually do with these oranges he picks up?"

We definitely can't finish eating it all. As for selling it, Mr. Fu is so rich, he doesn't need the money.

"Usually, we take them to feed children in welfare homes, or to nursing homes for the elderly, or to company employees," Fu Zhengting explained patiently, noticing an orange leaf stuck in the girl's hair, and naturally removed it for her.

Mu Tiantian looked up at the man's hand.

He's good-looking, and his hands are beautiful too.

Tall and slender with well-defined joints.

Even her hands are sexy.

His thoughtful gestures made her feel that he was her boyfriend...

He is rich, considerate, generous, and compassionate.

She couldn't help but think that being with a man like him would be very happy.

Just looking into his eyes makes her heart race.

The atmosphere unconsciously became ambiguous again.

The man seemed about to kiss her.

She took a half step back to create some distance, and noticed that the man was carrying something in his other hand. She broke the ambiguous atmosphere by asking, "Mr. Fu, what are you carrying?"

Fu Zhengting frowned slightly.

I want to kiss you, but I can't anymore.

Never mind, we'll kiss all we want tonight.

He took a cream puff out of the bag. "I passed by a very popular dessert shop, so I bought some for you to try."

Every time I pass by that shop after get off work, it's always packed with people. Uncle Zhong said that many Douyin (TikTok) influencers promote their desserts, which is why there are so many people there.

Mu Tiantian was surprised and flattered.

Was this bought especially for her?

A rich, creamy aroma wafted into my nose.

She loves desserts the most.

Especially cream-based products.

"Want some?" Fu Zhengting brought the cream puff to the girl's lips, as if to feed her.

It smells so good.

Mu Tiantian swallowed hard.

Fu Zhengting realized the girl liked it, so he made the right choice.

He took a small bite first to taste it.

The sweetness is just right, not too sweet.

However, he doesn't like sweets, so he gave the rest to Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian ate them one after another.

I love the feeling of that creamy sweetness slowly spreading in my mouth.

Seeing how happily the girl was eating, Fu Zhengting took out another type of food.

He also tried a small sip.

It's chocolate flavored, but less sweet than a cream puff.

Mu Tiantian also loves chocolate and enjoys it very much.

Seeing her satisfied expression, Fu Zhengting also felt very satisfied.

No wonder she's called Sweetie, since she loves sweets so much.

Mu Tiantian had some cream on the corner of her mouth, and not wanting to waste it, she subconsciously licked her lips.

When Fu Zhengting saw the girl licking her lips, his eyes deepened.

Mu Tiantian licked it a few times before noticing that the man's gaze was strange.

It was that fierce, predatory look in his eyes again.

The man lowered his head, pinched her chin, and kissed her lips—

She could almost hear the sound of fireworks going off. From the fear of the first night, she had now begun to crave this feeling.

She even found herself wanting to close her eyes and please the man.

This idea made her feel ashamed.

She blinked, neither refusing nor feeling comfortable agreeing.

Fu Zhengting saw through her thoughts. He smiled and stared into her eyes, where there was a hint of alluring mystery.

The girl's mouth still smelled of cream; the kiss was sweet and the experience was wonderful.

Afraid that he would lose control if he kissed her any longer, he stopped after a brief kiss, released the girl, and gently stroked her rosy lips with his thumb. "Sweetie, next time I kiss you, remember to open your mouth and respond."

Mu Tiantian nodded nervously.

"Let's go, take me to meet my future mother-in-law."

As Fu Zhengting spoke, he took Mu Tiantian's hand.

Mu Tiantian looked at the man's profile, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

She had clearly agreed with the man that it was just an act, but he spoke as if he really was her boyfriend.

I'm afraid that in the end, she'll get so caught up in the role that she'll take it for real.

She regained her composure and said, "I want to take some oranges to the hospital for my mother."

Fu Zhengting told the girl to stand still, and he filled most of the dessert bag with it.

Mu Tiantian planned to go directly from the hospital to the convention center the next day, so she went upstairs to get her ID card.

Because he needed to go to the hospital, Fu Zhengting had Uncle Zhong park the car outside the gate while he went out and waited for Mu Tiantian in the car.

Thinking of the oranges, which might rot overnight, Fu Zhengting asked Uncle Zhong to stay at the villa to collect the remaining oranges and freeze them, while he drove the car.

Uncle Zhong didn't want to be a third wheel, so he got out of the car.

Mu Tiantian was about to go downstairs when she saw Uncle Zhong coming in. She remembered the embarrassing scene from not long ago and felt a little ashamed.

Uncle Zhong is funny; he's such a shy child.

He had once wondered what kind of girl the CEO would like.

So it turns out that liking someone who is so easily embarrassed is...

Mu Tiantian went outside the gate, asked Uncle Zhong, and after confirming that Uncle Zhong wouldn't come out, she closed the gate.

Once in the car, she asked the man, "Mr. Fu, what's the combination lock for the main gate?"

"900912!" Fu Zhengting emphasized, "It's my birthday."

Mu Tiantian thought she had misheard.

September 12, 9.

Is the man born in 1990?

Fu Zhengting realized he had been exposed when he saw Mu Tiantian's shocked reaction.

He coughed slightly, a little awkwardly, and added, "What I mean is, the last four numbers are my birthday."

He wanted the girl to discover his true identity on her own.

If they tell you now, there's no surprise anymore.

Mu Tiantian smiled and muttered, "I thought you were born in 1990."

Even if he was born in 1990, he's still 12 years older than her.

September 12th, it turns out the man is a Virgo.

She's quite interested in astrology and usually checks her weekly horoscope. She knows that Virgos are known for their fastidiousness and pursuit of perfection.

Her birthday is March 10th. She is a dreamy Pisces. She remembers that the most compatible sign for Pisces is Scorpio, and the compatibility index with Virgo seems to be only 3%.

However, this is not 100% accurate.

And even if your zodiac signs are compatible, it doesn't matter if your social status is mismatched, it's all for nothing.

The silence created an awkward atmosphere, so she looked out the car window.
