Therefore, she cannot continue to trouble Tang Hua, nor can she think of him too often—since returning from Sanlin Stream, his image has filled her heart. It must be an attempt to depend on him, just as her previous life only accommodated her loving parents.
She will not let this situation continue. Divorced men and women are essentially unrelated, yet he still arranges servants to manage her daily life, providing her with the safest and most comprehensive care. This is already so good that it makes her feel ashamed. She absolutely must not fantasize about extracting more from him; he has no obligation to let her take at will.
Her heart will feel pain, merely from fear of her own incompetence, but this fear must be ignored because more challenges will inevitably arise in the future. She must take responsibility for herself.
“Madam, your phone,” Chen Sao gently knocked on the open door, reporting to Xiao Susu in the sunroom and handed her the wireless telephone.
Thanking Chen Sao, her heart suddenly raced, as if about to jump out of her chest, forcing her to carefully cover it before speaking:
“Hello? Is it him? Could it be him…”
“Susu, it’s Du Feifan. I’m back in Taichung. There’s a charity fundraising performance tomorrow at ‘Spring Radiance Enlightenment School’. Want to go together?” Her enthusiastic voice came through.
“Feifan? Oh… okay… won’t there be too many people?” Unable to explain the sudden sense of loss in her heart.
Tang Hua understood his mother’s hint and remained silent, eating quietly with his thoughts entirely focused on his wife; he did not want to generate too many desires, yet could not suppress them.
Is there no emotion? Then why does he sink deeply when touching her body? If it were purely defined as mutual physical need between man and woman, it would be self-deception. Recently busy with work, he almost had no time and did not want to delve deeper, but people cannot always remain busy, so many unexamined thoughts would surface during leisure time.
“Brother Tang, I haven’t seen Sister-in-law for a long time. How is she?” According to the most reliable sources in high society, his wife was extremely weak, bedridden for years, causing Tang Hua to leave her alone in Taichung and rarely return.
Tang Hua smiled: “She is fine.”
“Yes, they are both doing well,” Madam Tang interjected.
“I haven’t been back for several years. I heard you had a very beautiful child, and I want to see him. Since Sister-in-law is so beautiful, her child must be even more beautiful.” Her tone carried a hint of melancholy.
But he was wrong! It was not fabricated by the ancients, but because he had never been fortunate enough to meet a true classical beauty—oh no, because she was so rare that it would be more appropriate to define her as a fairy. Now he saw her, and with a heart almost leaping out of his throat, he was 100% certain that he had fallen in love!
In the past, he would have scoffed at the plot in novels where playboys were tamed by pure young girls, because he himself had been wandering among flowers until the age of thirty-five, steadfastly keeping his heart, never allowing any peerless beauty to take it away. How could he possibly be defeated by a pure, tender little sprout!?
But now he was willing to offer his heart to this classical beauty, obediently surrendering, becoming her loyal subject from now on.
He must have her! She was definitely a fairy sent by God to subdue and redeem him. (Does God’s jurisdiction cover fairies?) Only he was worthy of her, and her beauty was born for him.
He, Zeng Shaoyu, the heir of “Haonan Electronics”, a billionaire prince and playboy, had decided to get married! That fairy would definitely be his wife in this lifetime, and he was determined to achieve this goal.
On the other side, Du Feifan, chewing gum and blowing bubbles, felt increasingly that something was wrong. She wasn’t surprised that everyone’s gaze would occasionally steal glances her way, because looking at a beautiful woman was pleasing, but there was a gaze so scorching that it could start a fire in this small venue. Which damn lecher had drooled enough to fill the Pacific Ocean?
Turning her head to look at Xiao Susu, she was looking at the stage with tears in her eyes, carefully and admiringly watching the performance of a physically disabled child, temporarily too occupied to sense the gazes around her. So Du Feifan stood up as if to get juice from the corner, positioning herself where she could survey the entire scene, her eyes scanning like radar. Then, she saw him!
That person… yes, the young master of “Haonan Electronics”, a self-proclaimed “player” with women, whose character was self-evident. A man who treats women like snacks is essentially a pathological example of personality deviation, no matter how outstanding his achievements in other fields.
There are always people like this who think money allows them to do anything, with “women” being just another commodity to be bought and sold. Unfortunately, Du Feifan despised such people; cockroaches were more likable! Inevitably, these playboys always end up with a pure beauty to reform their ways, truly insulting all innocent maidens. Well, money makes things easy, creating a romantic atmosphere to deceive young girls’ hearts is effortless.
Women’s “maternal instinct” has always made them willing to play the “savior”, but she personally believed that those “thousand-conquest” bastards only deserved to be thrown into sewers to rot, to decay with heaven and earth, without wasting a pure girl’s redemption. Sadly, pure maidens are so easy to deceive, allowing those womanizers who want to settle down to still have a clean, beautiful woman accompany them after playing with the world’s beauties.
So let the world’s playboys continue their ways, because as long as they’re rich, whenever they want to settle down (perhaps with depleted kidneys), they’ll never worry about finding love.
How praiseworthy is a prodigal son’s return!
Ptui!
If this young master Zeng had such intentions, he would suffer an unprecedented massive blow. Compared to Tang Hua’s upright character, this man was light-years behind. How could this lecher dare to dream about Xiao Susu?! He didn’t even have the right to drool.
If a bucket were placed in front of him, it would probably be overflowing with saliva.
The first stage of the performance had ended, and after the applause, the audience stood to drink water or take food from the bar.
Xiao Susu naturally walked towards Du Feifan, unaware that a man was striding towards her.
Du Feifan was a step faster than Zeng Shaoyu, hooking Xiao Susu’s arm and heading to the women’s restroom, so quickly that others could only stare at the “Women’s Restroom” sign in surprise.
Washing her hands, Du Feifan said to her:
“Okay, we’ve supported the ticket and venue, we’ll leave soon.”
“Ah? Aren’t you going to fundraise from those wealthy people today?”
“This isn’t my task. Sorry, I’m not interested in doing good deeds. I’m happy to avoid troubles not assigned to me. We’ve each donated five thousand yuan, which is enough for them. In her view, everyone here was wealthy and loved to put on a charitable facade. This special education school had excellent networking, with a real business mindset, so she didn’t need to worry about it. That’s why her terrible blood-sucking female demon boss hadn’t assigned her any tasks.
“But the performance isn’t over. Those children with multiple disabilities are so pitiful. How can we leave without watching their hard-practiced performance?” Xiao Susu said guiltily.
“The sentiment is enough. We haven’t had time to discuss your matters yet.” She dried her hands and glanced outside during a woman’s bathroom entry. The stationed man was talking to someone and temporarily not watching the door. Heh, if not escaping now, when?
