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

Mu Tiantian had anticipated this answer, and smiled bitterly with her eyes lowered.

Uncle Zhong thought for a moment and suggested, "Sweetie, if you come to see the president now, he won't listen to you and it will only escalate the conflict. How about this, let the president calm down for a few days first, and after he's calmed down, you can come and talk to him properly."

Mu Tiantian thought Uncle Zhong's words made sense, and smiled as she said "Mmm," "I'll listen to Uncle Zhong."

She couldn't help but wonder, "Uncle Zhong, do you really trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I might have ulterior motives for approaching your CEO?"

Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "I believe that appearance reflects the heart. You look kind and honest, what bad intentions could you possibly have?"

Mu Tiantian was deeply moved. She also believed that one's appearance reflects one's heart, and Uncle Zhong seemed to be a kind and honest person.

"Uncle Zhong, thank you so much for believing in me."

Uncle Zhong praised her, and she wanted to praise him back, "Uncle Zhong, I think it's probably because we're both kind and honest people that you trust me so much."

Uncle Zhong was flattered by the praise and promised, "So, Sweetie, don't worry, I'll help you."

With Uncle Zhong's words, Mu Tiantian immediately felt much more at ease.

Mu Tiantian tentatively asked, "Uncle Zhong, when your CEO is unhappy, how do you usually try to cheer him up?"

"First of all, the president is rarely unhappy. Secondly, the president prefers quiet; if he's in a bad mood, he likes to be alone. This is the first time I've seen the president so angry..." Uncle Zhong said, unable to resist reminding Mu Tiantian, "It's clear how much influence you have on the president!"

Mu Tiantian's eyes were filled with confusion again.

She had never dared to think too deeply about the question of liking someone.

She could tell there was a hidden meaning in Uncle Zhong's words.

No man is kind to a woman for no reason!

There's definitely something they're after!

Whether Fu Zhengting was simply attracted to her at first sight or genuinely liked her, it remains unknown.

She dared not dream of anything too wonderful.

What I fear most is the fleeting novelty that wealthy people might develop.

Once the novelty wears off, women are unlikely to escape being abandoned.

Whether it's Fu Zhengting or Han Qikai.

She couldn't believe it.

Her mother's failed love and marriage taught her a lesson: she would not give her heart away until she was sure that a man truly loved her.

She dared not fall in love easily.

Because in her view, love is sacred and faithful, and must be taken seriously.

Once it begins, both parties must take it seriously.

Fu Zhengting's anger this time precisely shows that he is also a person who takes relationships very seriously.

She wanted to know more, "Uncle Zhong, how should one appease your CEO?"

"Well, I have a secret weapon," Uncle Zhong said with a mysterious smile.

Only after Mu Tiantian pressed him for details did she learn that Uncle Zhong's so-called secret weapon was a little girl.

Based on Uncle Zhong's description, it should be the little girl in Fu Zhengting's WeChat profile picture.

"As long as Xiao Linglong makes a move, it's hard for the president not to smile," Uncle Zhong said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

He was planning to act immediately. "Sweetie, that's all for now. I'm going to call Xiaolinglong's dad and try to appease the president first."

"Okay, Uncle Zhong, remember to report to me if there's any progress," Mu Tiantian said with a smile.

Uncle Zhong brought good news to put Mu Tiantian's mind at ease.

Mu Tiantian returned to the ward and continued to stay by the bedside. She opened Douyin (TikTok), entered "[How to coax a man when he's angry]", and found many videos, which she watched carefully.

After hanging up with Mu Tiantian, Uncle Zhong dialed the number of Huo Qijun, Fu Zhengting's best friend.

When Huo Qijun heard Uncle Zhong say that Fu Zhengting was in a bad mood, he realized that he hadn't taken Xiao Linglong to see Fu Zhengting in a long time, so he readily agreed.

He didn't have to go to work on Sunday, so he drove Xiaolinglong out.

Little Linglong was excited about seeing her beloved Uncle Fu soon, and happily hummed a little tune while swinging her little legs.

Uncle Zhong was relieved to know that Huo Qijun could bring his little Linglong, who was always so cheerful.

He put the bag in the car, then went upstairs to the second floor, stood in front of the door, and listened intently to what was happening inside.

It was quiet; I didn't hear a sound.

inside.

After taking a shower, Fu Zhengting felt relieved of his fatigue and his anxiety subsided.

But when he sits down on the single sofa, he remembers the scene of Mu Tiantian leaning down to kiss him.

She didn't hesitate to act so clumsy!

The thought of it made me emotional again.

The scene, even now, feels like a beautiful movie.

He really didn't want to believe that Mu Tiantian was pretending not to understand anything.

It seems like they really don't understand anything!

He was a little confused. Was he really ignorant or was he pretending?

He lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose hard, not allowing himself to think about Mu Tiantian anymore.

Keeping yourself busy will prevent you from overthinking.

He carried his luggage to the computer desk, opened his briefcase, and took out his work reports from the past five days in the port city to read.

Uncle Zhong listened for a while but couldn't hear any movement, so he knocked on the door. "President, are you hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat?"

Fu Zhengting's stomach growled twice from hunger, and he rushed back without eating breakfast or lunch.

But now I have no appetite to eat anything.

"No need, you should go back and rest."

Uncle Zhong wanted to wait for Xiao Linglong to arrive before leaving, as he also wanted to see her.

He thought that since the little girl was coming, he had to make something she liked to eat. He was also worried that Fu Zhengting might be hungry if he hadn't eaten. He went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to find that Anan had filled it to the brim again.

Since we have so many dishes, let's have hot pot.

Eating hot pot in autumn is the most comfortable, as it's neither too hot nor too cold.

He started taking the vegetables out to wash.

Inside the room, Fu Zhengting couldn't concentrate on reading the work report at all.

The frustration in my heart is still building up, and it's hard to concentrate on anything until I release it.

He closed the work report and stood up irritably.

Looking up at the large bed opposite, the image of applying medicine to Mu Tiantian couldn't help but reappear in his mind.

This feeling is so annoying!

He desperately needs to exercise to release his negative emotions.

Because he enjoys exercising, he built a gym on the first floor of the villa.

He opened the closet to look for sportswear and saw a little black dress hanging there, the one Mu Tiantian wore the day she came to see him.

He sneered; she really thought this was her own home.

He took it down and put all of Mu Tiantian's clothes into the bag.

We also brought down the things that were drying outside on the balcony and packed them up together.

Then he took out his phone, tapped on Mu Tiantian's number, and wanted to call her to come and pick it up herself, but he felt uneasy and hesitated to dial.

He had the urge to block him!
