Part Two: East Soil Sugar, Chapter 137

was even more powerful than a glutton, let alone one meal, even a bottle of wine was more expensive than this price. 。In contrast, Zhuo Y uan is much more low-key. 。Thinking of Zhuo YUAN, the little...Lu Yaoyao angrily shook off his hand and stormed ahead. It's not like it was 3,000 steps, what was so difficult about that 。Of course Gu Ruandong wouldn't give her this chance. He took two big steps forward, hugged her into his arms, and soothed, "Don't be angry anymore, just pretend to accompany me" 。He was trying to soothe her, but his voice unconsciously held a hint of weariness. 。Lu Yao felt a pang of guilt immediately. 。He's not a machine, after all. He has a ton of work to handle at the company and also needs to go home on time every day to be with her until she falls asleep before he can get back to work. 。And then there's what happened with brother Zhao Tingxing. 。Every aspect demanded his attention, yet he never revealed it in her presence. 。That's just her, when she wants to make a fuss, she can't control her emotions. After the fuss is over, she regrets it and feels sorry for it. 。But she wouldn't say sorry. There was no need for that between husband and wife over such a small matter, so she just hugged him back, rubbing her cheek against his chest. 。Later on, I realized he had changed his shirt sometime ago. He was now wearing a soft, dark gray cotton top instead of the stiff black one he used to wear. His whole aura felt a little warmer. 。"Have you changed designers" She, as his wife, didn't seem to be doing her job very well. She hardly ever paid attention to what he wore. 。The main reason is that I think he has his own taste and usually has professional designers customize his clothing, so she doesn't need to worry about this. 。

"Well" 。He simply replied that it was mainly from parenting books, which said black would make pregnant women feel depressed, while colorful ones could regulate their mood. 。As expected, Yaoyao's mood was much better than before. 。The remaining 3000 steps were quickly finished, and I was home before it got too late. 。Lu Yaoyao urged him to go to work and not keep her company, so he wouldn't have to work overtime again in the middle of the night. 。Okay, I'll finish this early. 。Gu Ruandong immediately heard her going to the study in a hurry, there was indeed something he needed to deal with. 。It has already been confirmed that Da'an came for Gan'an. He originally didn't want to tell Zhuo Yu'an about this; he had only helped him out of kindness, and he also had his own motives. 。Over the past two years, their collaboration has been incredibly smooth, spanning from game companies to real estate projects. They are not only partners but also good friends. 。As for Da An's matters, of course he is responsible for resolving them himself. 。The reason for this lies between Gan An and Shu Tinglan, so he at least wanted to remind Zhuo Yu'an just in case. 。When Zhuo YUAN received his call, he was helping Ting LAN with the children's homework. Even though their genes were excellent and the children were incredibly intelligent, the parents still faced the same problems as any other family. 。Shu Xiaonian was alright. She always had a proper attitude and basically didn't need him or Tinglan to supervise her, but Shu Xiaohe...was a real headache. You tell her one thing, she'd answer you with something completely different. 。He answered Guan Ruandong's call while watching Tinglan getting angrier and angrier. He hurriedly said to Guan Ruandong on the phone: "Hold on for a moment." 。Then he went to comfort Tinglan and Shu Xiaohua, who was looking at him with tears in her eyes and pleading for his help. 。Although Zhuo Yunan is usually kind to his children, his aura of authority is such that Shu Xiaohua can accurately judge his true attitude just from a look in his eyes. 。Anyway, it's easy to judge. As long as it doesn't involve Mom, I can basically do whatever I want, but if it involves Mom, I can only obediently admit my mistake. 。

So I was just rambling answers to the questions before, but as soon as I saw Dad's look, I immediately blurted out the right answer. 。Tinglan just couldn't understand. Both she and Zhuo Yunan were meticulous and serious about their work. Why was Shu Xiaohua like this, showing no sign of learning from their example 。。Shu Xiaohua is very smart. She can remember almost everything taught in school after just one reading. While she knows the correct answers, she finds them boring and always tries to find new solutions. This is why she scores full marks on exams almost as well as her brother, but her homework is often messy. 。Even though Tinglan understood her personality and supported her exploration of imagination, he couldn't help but feel > 。After being persuaded by Zhuo Yuyan, she calmed down and noticed that his phone screen was on. She pointed at his phone, signaling for him to get back to work, and said that she wasn't angry. 。Only then did Zhuo YUAN take his phone and turn around to answer it. 。Gu Ruandong was holding his phone, listening the whole time. Thinking of the person downstairs, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. Raising children, it seemed, was probably harder than handling projects worth hundreds of millions at the company. 。"Sorry, what did you just say" Zhu Yuyan cleared her throat and asked, her tone now completely formal, a stark contrast to the comforting voice she had used moments ago when speaking to her wife and children. 。Gu Ruandong was also the same. When it came to serious matters, he became very serious: "This matter is complicated to explain, but in simple terms, it's the one who kidnapped Lawyer Shu back then. He and his accomplices are still seeking revenge." 。Of course, mainly targeting me. 。Just to be safe for you, Attorney Shu and the children, please exercise a little caution these days. I'll resolve this as soon as possible. 。Zhuo Yu'an listened to the phone, subconsciously glanced at the three people in the living room, frowned, and without a word, said: "What progress have you made now" This matter started because of him, he couldn't just stand by and watch. 。Gu Ruandong made this call not to bring Zhu Yuyan in, but out of consideration for their safety. So he was straightforward: "Zhu Zong, this matter doesn't need you for now. Their target is me." 。If I need your help, I will find you. 。"Different circles, even if Zhuo Yu'an is brought in, won't solve the problem, and he's not actually needed at the moment." 。Zuo Yu'an fell silent for a moment: "It's late today. I'll go to Gu Shi to talk to you in detail tomorrow morning." 。As always, composed and calm. Then hung up the phone. 。Lu Yaoyao downstairs, after seeing Gu Ruandong go upstairs and into the study just now, turned around and went to the kitchen. She searched every nook and cranny for snacks that Cui Ping had hidden. 。I just walked outside for over an hour, I'm really hungry now. 。She never would have imagined that she'd one day be so desperate for food, rummaging through every corner of her house just to find something to eat. 。

I'm so angry, but I can't help it! My old self-discipline with regular meals is gone. 。After searching for a while, I finally found a bag of original beef jerky in the corner of a drawer. Overjoyed, I turned to head back to the living room to slowly enjoy it. But as soon as I turned around, I saw Gu Ruandong leaning against the kitchen doorway at some point, smiling at the bag of beef jerky in my hand. 。Caught red-handed, Lu Yaoyao simply decided to go all out: "I'm hungry, beef jerky is healthy food" 。"Gu Ruandong still smiled: "Did I say you couldn't eat" Lu Yaoyao was dissatisfied: "Then what's that look in your eyes" It looked like it was asking for a fight. " 。Gu Ruandong: "Come here" 。"What's the

point of that" Lu Yaoyao feared he would steal her food, so she guarded her meal as she walked it to him. 。Responding to her was his embrace. 。w intimidating Mr. Lu is Even when he's not angry, he's frightening. But when he gets angry... Mrs. Gu's heart skips a beat! Especially when he speaks those chilling words, "If you don't tell me where...
