“…” Tao Yu glanced at his hand, her eyes instantly filling with tears, her mood beyond mere despair.
Yue Linze said softly, “You’ll have to compensate me with yourself.”
Tao Yu suddenly looked up, taking a moment to understand his meaning, her mouth about to cry. Yue Linze frowned: “Is being with me so unbearable? I don’t need you to do anything, just stay by my side. As for your work, I won’t interfere…”
Before he could finish speaking, before laying out many enticements, Tao Yu lunged forward and kissed his lips. Yue Linze was stunned for a moment before embracing her back, letting out a sigh from his throat.
If he’d known it was this easy to trick her, he would have used this method earlier.

When they came out, they were still maintaining a stranger-like distance, but by the time they returned, they were holding hands. Anyone could tell what happened in those few hours.
The butler, seeing Yue Linze and Tao Yu return, sighed inwardly. Though he still had reservations about the girl, seeing Yue Linze’s relaxed expression, he could only silently accept it. He respectfully walked forward: “Sir, Miss Tao.”
Tao Yu was already used to the change in address. Seeing him, she quickly withdrew her hand from Yue Linze’s, who gave her a dissatisfied look. She could only laugh awkwardly and pretend nothing happened. The relationship had changed too quickly for her to be comfortable appearing like this in front of others.
“What are you doing here?” Knowing adaptation takes time, Yue Linze didn’t dwell on Tao Yu pulling away, instead frowning and asking the butler.
The butler quickly responded: “Sir, Tao Yu’s instrument repair team had an urgent matter looking for her, but couldn’t reach her. After contacting the bodyguards and knowing you were almost home, I came out to meet you.”
Tao Yu reached into her pocket and realized her phone was missing, likely lost during the previous chaos. She immediately hurried towards the instrument room without asking the butler about details.
Arriving there, she saw staff packing instruments: “What are you doing?”
