In the office, Ruan Zeyan sat in his chair, looking a little tired. His slender fingers kept massaging his eyes.
Du Gang came in and saw the fatigued Ruan Zeyan.
The boss had not had a good rest for a few days. Even a hard working person like him could not withstand nonstop work like this.
“Boss, Ruan Guofu and Ruan Guosheng were the last to leave,” Du Gang said softly, afraid that he would disturb the tired man if he raised his voice.
“Yeah.” Ruan Zeyan put his hand down with not much of an expression on his face.
“Boss, do you want to take a break?” Du Gang couldn’t help but ask.
Ruan Zeyan looked at the watch on his wrist and shook his head.
Du Gang was shocked. “Boss, where are you going now?”
There was nothing left on his agenda, so Du Gang didn’t know where Ruan Zeyan was headed.
Ruan Zeyan put on his jacket and said, “I’m going to the Lings.”
Du Gang pursed his lips. The charm of Miss Ling was irresistible. As exhausted as he was, the boss still wanted to see her.
Last night, Ling Tianya didn’t sleep too well; the sound of Ling Tao’s crying had lingered in her mind. She didn’t have a stone heart. After seeing her father crying, repenting and apologizing to her, Ling Tianya finally caved in.
In the morning, Madame Ling saw that Ling Tao’s eyes were still swollen. So at breakfast, she asked Ling Tao straight out why he was crying while glancing at Ling Tianya.
Ling Tao kept it vague and only said that he felt guilty towards the children. He didn’t say too much else, nor did he mention the 25 percent share of the company.
He knew that his mother held a deep prejudice against Ling Tianya. Even though on the surface, she made it look like they were getting along, Ling Tao was still able to tell pretence from sincerity. So, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ling Tao decided to conceal the truth for now.
Liu Fen’s eyes were also swollen. She was bummed out after being kicked out of the study by Ling Tao, so she cried for a while in her room afterwards.
In front of Ling Tao, Liu Fen seemed a bit uncomfortable. She still wanted to please him but was afraid to make another mistake, so she just stood not too far from the table and observed silently.
When Madame Ling saw her, she waved to Liu Fen. “Miss Liu, come and have breakfast.”
Madame Ling’s gesture made Liu Fen’s face change completely. She went to the kitchen and grabbed herself a set of tableware and then proceeded to sit down next to Ling Tao.
“This porridge was specially made this morning. I didn’t ask anyone in the kitchen. I made it myself,” Liu Fen boasted while her eyes stole glimpses of Ling Tao.
Ling Tao said nothing and didn’t acknowledge Liu Fen. Ling Tianya also kept her head down as she ate.
Liu Fen felt awkward and served herself some porridge.
“Oh, Miss Liu made this porridge? No wonder it is more delicious than usual. It was made with heart!” Madame Ling tried to fill the silence. “I think Miss Liu’s cooking is even better than the chef in the kitchen!”
The kitchen was not far from the dining room, so the old lady’s words were heard by the family chef who was not pleased.
Liu Fen had a giant smile on her face after she heard Mdm Ling’s praise. “Madame, if you like this porridge, I will get up early every day and make it for you!” Liu Fen looked at Ling Tao again. “Mister, do you like it?”
Ling Tao put down his bowl with no expression on his face. “I’m going to work.”
Then, Ling Tao got up and patted Ling Tianya on the shoulder as he walked past. “Daddy will come home early today. You and I can have a drink together tonight.”
Ling Tianya had no problem with alcohol, which Ling Tao knew.
After that, Ling Tao walked straight out of the house without even looking at Liu Fen even once.
