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

After a while, Yan Zhengke said, "As you know, I don't get involved in your circle's affairs. Huo Yuting later told me that you got angry this time because he had some improper thoughts."

Tang Shaowu's face darkened.

Yan Zhengke's expression confirmed his suspicions.

"Shao Wu, I know you have nothing to fear now. Your strength and ruthlessness have put you in this high position."

However, as the business grows larger, it's far beyond what one person can do alone, and I believe you understand this better than I do.

Huo Yuting is an outstanding individual among the many wealthy young men. He is responsible and decisive, making him a suitable business partner.

Of course, he has his moments of folly, so I think everything you've done so far has been right.

Whether it's beating him up or suppressing the Huo family regardless of cost, it's all the right thing to do.

Tang Shaowu listened silently, and after a while, he spoke.

"Brother Yan, I really can't take it anymore. You don't understand."

"I understand. I also have people I don't want others to covet. But sometimes, when you hold a treasure in your hands, inevitably, there will be discerning people in this world who will see it, like it, and want it too."

However, as long as he doesn't physically grab it, and as long as your child isn't lured away, I think everything is still under control and not out of control. What do you think?

When the two arrived at the horse farm, Su Weile and Zhou Xiaoman had already led their horses out and were waiting for them.

Zhou Xiaoman looked at Yan Zhengke and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Tang Shaowu saw Su Weile frowning and looking at him unhappily.

She walked up to Su Weile, smiled, and pinched his cheek, saying, "What's wrong? Are you still unhappy?"

Su Weile said fiercely, "I asked you to help me hold back the big block of ice."

Tang Shaowu laughed and said, "Didn't I hold them off for you?"

"But!! You were taking this too seriously, Tang Shaowu. I turned around three times and you didn't even look at me. You were just chatting with that big ice block. Why did you talk so much with him?"

Tang Shaowu said, both amused and exasperated, "Su Weile, how can you be so cute?"

"Cute my foot! Stop changing the subject. You're coming with me now, and you're not allowed to follow that big ice block anymore."

Tang Shaowu kissed Su Weile's lips and said with a smile, "Okay, from now on I'll only follow you."

The day after riding horses with Yan Zhengke and the others, Tang Shaowu had his secretary remove all call blocking from the Huo family, allowing them to contact him smoothly.

That afternoon, the Huo family's old butler personally delivered a gift from Old Master Huo.

This is a rare treasure that Mr. Huo bought at an auction a few years ago at a high price.

Grandpa Huo liked it very much. He appeared before Tang Shaowu today.

Along with it came a note that read, "The ancients said, 'Lust can cloud judgment.' This is indeed true. I am sorry for what I have done, Young Master Tang. I will definitely discipline you more strictly in the future. I hope you will forgive me."

The actions of the Huo family patriarch gave Tang Shaowu ample face and laid a solid foundation for future cooperation between Tang Shaowu and the Huo family.

The previously carried out, bloody and brutal suppression suddenly ceased. Everything returned to normal.

However, when Huo Yuting came to the Prince Consort's Manor again in the future, he seemed to come and go as freely as before, but from the moment he entered, someone would monitor his every move.

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

Su Weile's status at the Prince Consort's Manor rose without him even realizing it.

At first, he would greet his bodyguards with a "hello" but they never paid any attention to him. Now, whenever they see him, they bow and say "Young Master Su".

All the managers at the resort would greet him with a smile, calling him "Young Master Su." They would always take the initiative to greet him.

He would often ask Uncle Xu behind him, somewhat bewildered, "Uncle, who is he?"

Old Xu would patiently explain to him, "This is the manager of Yinmeng." "This is the estate's finance manager." "This is the young master's assistant."

Tang Shaowu never avoids talking to him when he's working, and sometimes he even shares his thoughts and decisions with him.

I would also ask for his opinion. I would patiently discuss things with him and subtly guide him.

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

When Su Weile changed into his second outfit, Tang Shaowu pinned him down in the dressing room and gave him a good beating. Although they didn't go all the way, he kissed him roughly and rubbed his clothes until they were wrinkled.

Her pants were a complete mess, a total disaster. Realizing what had happened, Su Weile couldn't help but shout:

"Tang Shaowu!! You old scoundrel, how am I supposed to wear my clothes now?!"

Tang Shaowu's calm voice came from the bathroom, "You abandoned me and went out to play by yourself, and you're still getting all dressed up. Do you believe I'll tie you to the bed so you can't go anywhere?"

Su Weile actually believed it.

She immediately retorted, "It's your own fault for not going. I asked you to come with me, but you wouldn't."

Tang Shaowu sneered and said, "Think about it yourself, is your invitation sincere? Don't you know how perfunctory you've been?"

Su Weile is going out to eat at a nice restaurant with Zhou Xiaoman and Ding Yi today.

Zhou Xiaoman rarely eats out. His doctor, Dr. Yan, is very picky about food, and they have their own private kitchen at home, so they almost never eat out.

Su Weile's situation was similar to his. Tang Shaowu's villa had both Chinese and Western food options, as well as a dedicated chef, so Su Weile rarely went out to eat.

Ding Yi organized this gathering today. He always manages to find something delicious and fun to do.

He described the restaurant to Zhou Xiaoman as something heavenly and unparalleled, which made Zhou Xiaoman interested, and she thought about asking Su Weile to come out and try it together.

Su Weile did feel a little guilty, so she took the initiative to hug Tang Shaowu and said, "I'm sorry, sensitive little Wuwu, it's just that I know you don't like going to those kinds of places."

Tang Shao held the person in his arms. "Be careful when you go out, and come back early. I'm waiting for you. Also! Take care of yourself!"

Su Weile was both amused and exasperated. "How can you be so annoying? How am I supposed to take care of myself? I'm already setting such high standards for myself."

Tang Shaowu still said domineeringly, "I will keep an eye on your Su Weile."

"I know, I know, haven't you been watching the whole time? Don't think I don't know, you old fox," Su Weile said, kissing him as she spoke.

Su Weile, having changed into another set of clothes, happily went out. Tang Shaowu's garage now completely belonged to him.

Because the two people she was meeting today were close friends, Su Weile was particularly relaxed.

Like choosing a concubine, he looked and looked, but in the end he chose his favorite new favorite, who was also a birthday gift from Tang Shaowu.

Sitting in the car, he took a picture and sent it to Tang Shaowu: "This young master is going to pamper it today. It's too tempting."

Tang Shaowu immediately replied, "This young master is going to favor you tonight. No one can seduce you as much as you."

Ding Yi squatted down in front of the recently popular restaurant like a little monkey, anxiously checking the time.

A roar, typical of high-performance sports cars, rang out, and Ding Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Wow, that's so cool!"

When he saw that the person getting out of the car was Su Weile, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

A boy, even more handsome than the car, leaned against it with a dashing smile and said to Ding Yi, "Want to take a drive around?"

Just as Ding Yi was about to run over excitedly, a high-end business vehicle—which was as understated as possible in appearance but completely contrary to its understated nature, and which there were no more than three of of them in Jinhai City—slowly came to a stop.

Zhou Xiaoman got out of the car with a smile on her face, and didn't forget to walk to the driver's seat to say a friendly goodbye. It was obvious who was driving.

Ding immediately exploded, "Damn it! I've changed my mind! Why should I treat you guys to dinner? I'm not treating you, you treat me!"

Zhou Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay, it's on me."

Ding Yi sighed, "Forget it, I'll treat you. I recently got a lucrative job."

Xiaoman smiled and asked, "Did you finalize things with that guy from last time?"

Ding Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes. It's all thanks to you for introducing me."

Su Weile walked over and said, "Well, I didn't help at all, so let me treat you! Let's not refuse each other."

Ding Yi readily agreed, "Alright~~ then I won't be polite, since you drove such an infuriating car today."

The three of them walked into the restaurant while talking.

Behind them, Su Yicheng and his girlfriend were just about to walk into the restaurant.
