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

After a passionate kiss, Tang Shaowu's mood improved considerably. Su Weile was his source of joy and his source of reassurance.

Tang Shaowu laughed and said, "You've been sneaking food again; your mouth tastes like osmanthus cake."

Su Weile blushed and said, "Who told you to come back so late? I was starving."

Tang Shaowu, did you get into a fight with Huo Shao? What happened? Is there a problem with your cooperation?

When Tang Shaowu heard Huo Yuting's name, his expression darkened for a moment, and then he said to Su Weile:

"From now on, stay away from him when you see him, okay? Don't talk to him alone."

Su Weile nodded, thinking to herself, "I don't really like talking to him anyway. I'm even afraid he'll lead you astray."

"I know, why are you dragging me into this? I'm asking you, what happened between you and him? Is the conflict serious?"

Tang Shaowu patted his waist and said, "It's okay. Our relationship is based on mutual benefit. It's normal to have some conflicts. If we want to continue, we can continue; it won't have any impact. If we want to break it off, we can do it anytime."

"Oh, well, I don't know anything about what's going on between you two, but you can't do that next time. You're such a grown-up, why are you fighting? Look at your hands."

Next time, just let your bodyguards do it. Why did you have to do it yourself? Or tell me, and I'll beat him up for you.

Tang Shaowu listened to Su Weile's words and smiled as he ruffled Su Weile's hair.

"Let's eat. What do you want to do later?"

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

The delightful island trip came to an end after ten days.

As Su Weile boarded the plane, looking at the island getting smaller and smaller, she felt a deep sense of reluctance.

"Tang Shaowu, when are we coming again?"

Tang Shaowu was processing documents on his computer, and this time it took twice as long as expected.

Because Su Weile was happy, he stayed a few more days. He currently has a lot of work piling up.

Tang Shaowu didn't look up, but still patiently said, "The island will enter its rainy season in the second half of the year, so there won't be as much to do then. Let's come back around this time next year. Is that alright?"

Su Weile smiled and said, "Really? You can come every year?"

Tang Shaowu smiled and kissed him, saying, "Aren't you tired of coming to the same place every year? We can go to different places every year; there are many fun places."

Su Weile was overjoyed. "Really? Tang Shaowu, I've got this in mind! You have to keep your word!"

"Yes, I'll do everything I promised you. Don't worry, Lele."

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

Following Su Weile's instructions, they returned to the Prince Consort's Manor, as Su Weile and Zhou Xiaoman had arranged to go horseback riding.

When Su Weile got home, he started packing gifts. He brought a lot of gifts for his grandparents, his father, Tie Tou, and Jin Yi. While packing, he video-chatted with his family and was extremely happy.

Tie Tou and Jin Yi are both at their maternal grandma's house today, and they ate together again.

Tie Tou had drunk quite a bit and said with a flushed face, "Xiao Le, I really miss you. You're my best brother, but how could you just leave like that? You haven't come back for days."

Let me tell you, I just told Grandpa that I'm now the grandson of this family, and you're no longer needed!

Su Weile was also annoyed by what he said. "Tie Tou, have you had too much to drink? Your alcohol tolerance has really declined while I'm not home!! Are you trying to plot to seize power? Is alcohol emboldening you?"

Su Jun said from the side, "I don't think it's a problem. At least Tie Tou isn't like some people who are never home. He'd be good to have as my son."

Su Weile laughed and said, "Old Su, that's not funny! Be careful, or I'll tell Grandma later."

Su Jun snorted and didn't say anything more, asking in a displeased tone, "Did you bring gifts for your uncle and aunt?"

"Of course I brought it. I'll go see my uncle tomorrow."

The Soviet soldier then gave a satisfied "hmm".

After the video call ended, Su Weile sighed softly, "Ugh! Old Su is always so sarcastic! Is he really going through menopause? Tang Shaowu, my family is abandoning me, did you hear that?"

"I want you; your home should be made up of the two of us."

Looking at Tang Shaowu's serious expression, Su Weile smiled and said, "I understand. The home we had before was my home, and the home we have together now is also my home."

Tang Shaowu then smiled with satisfaction.

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

The undercurrents between Tang Shaowu and the Huo family caught the entire Huo family off guard.

One side is filled with thunderous fury, the other with utter bewilderment.

Tang Shaowu once again demonstrated his ruthlessness and madness, and once again shocked everyone with his strength.

It turns out that the strength Tang Shaowu usually displayed, whether in terms of influence or wealth, was only the tip of the iceberg.

Huo Yuting finally realized that Tang Shaowu's lesson to him in the most direct and primitive way was merely the beginning of Tang Shaowu's attack.

After returning to Jinhai, Tang Shaowu immediately began to suppress the Huo family, a crazy and reckless act that disregarded costs and consequences.

Tang Shaowu was reckless; he was willing to pay any price because he cared about so few things—just that one person.

However, Huo Yuting was different. He had many things to consider: the interests of his family and his own status. He wanted both.

The Huo family is a large family, and one can imagine how fierce the internal strife is. No one knows how much he paid behind the scenes to gain a place in the Huo family.

The Huo family was completely bewildered by the suppression, not knowing how they had offended the unpredictable Young Master Tang.

Three hours after Huo Yuting entered Old Master Huo's study, the handprint on Huo Shao's face had not yet faded when he came out of the study.

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

On the weekend, Su Weile got ready early in the morning, and together with Tang Shaowu, they waited for Zhou Xiaoman to come and play with him.

When Su Weile saw Zhou Xiaoman's car drive into the resort, she waved excitedly.

Zhou Xiaoman responded with a smile. Yan Zhengke, in the passenger seat, remained expressionless.

"Tang Shaowu, why is Dr. Yan so cold? He's like a giant ice block. Isn't Xiaoman cold with him?"

Tang Shaowu laughed and said, "Others also think I'm crazy and ruthless, but you're still with me."

Su Weile immediately retorted, "How can that be the same? That's a rumor; they don't understand you."

Tang Shaowu gently pinched Su Weile's ear and said, "The same principle applies to Yan Zhengke's feelings for Zhou Xiaoman; outsiders don't understand them either."

With Tang Shaowu backing him up, Su Weile is extremely arrogant.

He pulled Zhou Xiaoman directly away from Yan Zhengke, ignoring the fact that the two of them were holding hands.

Even as her body was being pulled away, Zhou Xiaoman turned back and smiled as she comforted her lover.

Yan Zhengke didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on Zhou Xiaoman's back.

She coldly said to Tang Shaowu, "His energy is so boundless, shouldn't you reflect on that? How spoiled have you become?"

Tang Shaowu chuckled softly.

The two walked leisurely up the mountain. Yan Zhengke spoke calmly.

"Yesterday, Huo Yuting took the Huo family patriarch to the hospital for a check-up."

Tang Shaowu did not respond.

"They said they've been suffering from a sudden surge of stress, causing their blood pressure to spike and their headaches to be excruciating. They begged me to help them."

Tang Shaowu scoffed, "So you're actually thinking of targeting you? I really overestimated Huo Yuting's abilities."
