We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Tang Yi's words caused a huge uproar among the three people, but strangely, no one raised any objections or surprises.

After a long pause, Tang Huai'an said hesitantly, "Tang Shaowu has two such big projects in hand now, and he'll definitely be running between Jinhai and Jiangcheng in the future. We've already retreated to this point, will he let us go?"

He might still be his son after all, even though Tang Shaowu has never been close to him, and even though this son was originally a pawn he planted to gain the Jiang family's support.

However, occasionally, when he looks at Tang Shaowu, he has a moment of disbelief, realizing that this Tang Shaowu, who is unapproachable and exceptionally capable in the eyes of outsiders, is actually his son!

Tang Yi looked at his father, a man who had been cowardly and incompetent his whole life. The only thing he had ever done that was, through the painstaking arrangements and schemes of his father, was to meet the daughter of the incredibly wealthy Jiang family.

Tang Yi thought bitterly, how come this man's stupid and cowardly genes were not passed on to Tang Shaowu at all?

Tang Shaowu possesses the Jiang family's exceptionally high intelligence, as well as the stubbornness and obsession of his mother and maternal grandmother.

He even possessed the scheming, ruthless nature of the Tang family patriarch, but he had none of Tang Huai'an's traits. It was as if he disdained his father, even rejecting any of his genes.

Tang Yi said coldly, "Dad, stop daydreaming. We're not going to have a good ending. Think about the Zhao family. Do you think he'll let anyone who's offended him get away with it? He's a madman."

The more powerful he becomes, the easier it will be for him to deal with us. The fact that he hasn't touched us yet is a form of manipulation and insult.

Tang Huai'an frowned, feeling that he had no way to refute.

Jiang Meixue said with some worry, "Son, do you think... it's that easy for him? He's always been elusive, and he has so many bodyguards around him. How easy is it?"

Tang Yi smiled coldly, "As long as you look for it, there will always be opportunities."

--------------------------------------------------

Tang Yi wondered if it was a blessing in disguise. He was desperately looking for an opportunity when he suddenly received some news.

Tang Shaowu actually wants to go on a cruise to sea to attend a gambling party.

These young masters from Jinhai's high society would periodically take their private cruise ships out to sea for high-stakes gambling.

At first, it was just some simple games on the gambling ship.

Once the cruise ship enters international waters, the high-stakes gamble will begin.

Therefore, cruise ship parties are an activity that these wealthy young men have always loved.

What's even more shocking than the participation of certain big-name celebrities is that Tang Shao is also going to participate.

It's common knowledge that the aloof and reserved Tang Shao never attends these kinds of gatherings. Therefore, many people doubt the veracity of the rumors.

However, although only a few people involved currently know about this, Tang Yi has already confirmed the accuracy of the information through his own people.

------------------------------------------

It's the fifth day since Su Weile returned to Yanshan. These past few days have been incredibly busy for her.

I went fishing with my dad, and went to bars to sing, drink, and party with Jin Yi, Tie Tou, and my childhood friends.

I spent almost all the rest of my time with my grandparents, taking them to the morning market, the night market, and the flower, bird, fish and insect market. I also took my grandmother shopping and my grandfather to the theater.

Since Su Weile returned, Su Jun has also moved into the courtyard. The family is enjoying a happy and harmonious life together.

During the day, Su Weile is a dutiful and good child. But as soon as she gets back to her room at night, she immediately video chats with Tang Shaowu.

This time, Su Weile discovered that she had underestimated Tang Shaowu's influence on her.

Before she left, she thought Tang Shaowu couldn't live without her. She never expected that after they really separated, she would be tormented by longing.

Su Weile's longing for Tang Shaowu deepened day by day, and he would think of Tang Shaowu no matter what he was doing during the day.

That night, Su Weile stared intently at the person on the other end of the phone, not wanting to blink. She then shared every single detail of her day with Tang Shaowu.

The video call time every night is now the time Su Weile looks forward to the most.

The video call started before 10 a.m. today. As soon as the call connected, Su Weile noticed that Tang Shaowu was not at the villa today, and he was also acting differently than usual when he was at home.

"Tang Shaowu, where are you?"

Tang Shaowu adjusted the camera position and said with a smile, "I'm attending a party. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I might bet a couple of rounds?"

Su Weile's expression visibly darkened. "You didn't even say this party was late at night~"

Tang Shaowu laughed, "These kinds of gatherings usually happen at night, right? Everyone's busy with work during the day, isn't that right?"

A muttering voice: "Going to gamble on a cruise ship so late at night, how come you've gone astray the moment I'm not around?"

A low laugh rang out. "So why aren't you here watching over me? Only with you by my side will I continue to be alright."

Seeing that Su Weile was keeping her head down and not saying much, Tang Shaowu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I just came to check on her."

Su Weile suddenly raised her head. "Tang Shaowu, don't tell me you were dragged there by that Qin Shao or Huo Shao again?"

I've only been gone a few days, and you're already pulling these fancy tricks? Have you forgotten your promise not to go to those filthy parties with them?

Looking at Su Weile's furious expression, Tang Shaowu suddenly realized that almost all his beautiful perceptions of this world came from this adorable boy.

Before he met Su Weile, the world he knew was ugly and filthy.

Until Su Weile came to his side. You were like a clear spring, purifying his entire world, like a ray of sunlight breaking through the darkness, making him so warm and comfortable.

But perhaps he had been in darkness for too long. Su Weile needed to stay by his side for the purification effect to continue. Once Su Weile left, his world returned to darkness.

Tang Shaowu was lost in his own thoughts, but Su Weile across from him was genuinely anxious.

Anger was replaced by grievance, and her voice suddenly dropped to a low tone, "Don't you have me now? Aren't the two of us particularly good together?"

"If you become like those people, I really can't stand it. Tang Shaowu, that won't do, I really can't stand it. There's no room for discussion about this. Don't do that, didn't you say you loved me?"

Tang Shaowu's heart clenched with pain.

"Su Weile, I love you, I really love you. So, what you're talking about won't happen. I may not participate in what these people are doing all day, but that doesn't mean I don't know. I've never been interested in it before, and I certainly won't be in the future."

I've said it before, all I need is you. You're the person I'm most honest with in this world, and I won't lie to you.

"real?"

"More real than pearls"

Su Weile finally laughed again. "Why are you copying me?"

Tang Shaowu gazed intently at that smile. "Lele, come back soon."
