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

Tang Shaowu said without changing his expression, "Let me check you over carefully again to see if you've been hurt."

While dodging, Su Weile said, "No, how could I not know I was hit here? It hurts like hell!"

Su Weile shrank back, her face flushed crimson.

He deliberately put on a fierce expression and said, "No need to check, I'm fine. Really, you don't need to!"

Tang Shaowu suddenly smiled and obediently stopped, carefully wiping his hands with the wet wipe that had been placed beside him.

Perhaps because there was residue of the liniment on his hands, Su Weile saw Tang Shaowu rubbing each finger with extreme care.

Tang Shaowu had already started wiping his hands a second time. Su Weile looked at the silent Tang Shaowu and felt a little uneasy for some reason. She was about to speak.

Suddenly, Tang Shaowu stood up and pounced on him.

········

Confused, Su Weile blinked and looked at Tang Shaowu, who had returned from washing up, and muttered...

"You insist on serving me this once, I don't know what you're after?"

Tang Shaowu didn't answer him. He lay down and turned off the nightlight. "Sleep well. You're not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow. You're coming with me."

In the darkness, Su Weile obediently replied, "Oh, I understand."

It's late at night, and it seems like the wind is picking up outside, making a whistling sound.

Su Weile was sleeping soundly when she rolled over twice and rolled towards the window. Tang Shaowu listened silently, paying no attention.

Sure enough, a short while later, Su Weile made another great comeback and returned to Tang Shaowu's side.

Tang Shaowu slowly turned around and gently pulled Su Weile to his side, embracing her.

Su Weile sensed something beside her and immediately clung to it tightly in an octopus-like posture.

Tang Shaowu didn't feel uncomfortable. Just like the previous night, he gently lifted Su Weile's chin with his hand, looked at her carefully, and then kissed her deeply.

When Tang Shaowu pulled away from Su Weile's lips, he saw her eyelashes tremble in the darkness, and then her eyes slowly opened.

In the quiet of the night, the two looked at each other, one with a clear but turbulent gaze, the other with an innocent and sleepy look.

Then, in front of Su Weile, while his eyes were open, Tang Shaowu gently leaned in and continued the kiss, only much lighter.

Su Weile closed his eyes because of the person who suddenly got so close to him. But he didn't reject Tang Shaowu's advances; he never rejected Tang Shaowu, it seemed to have become an instinctive habit.

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

The sun rose early; it's a beautiful day.

Su Weile's first attempt at stretching, which should have been a comfortable stretch, ended in a series of groans. He felt pain all over his body; this aftereffect of being beaten made him very uncomfortable.

He cursed the person who hit him in his mind before he felt a little better.

He opened his eyes and started looking for Tang Shaowu, calling out twice but receiving no response.

Su Weile grimaced as she left the room, intending to go to the restaurant to see if Tang Shaowu was having breakfast.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw Tang Shaowu talking to a man under the parasol by the pool.

In the soft morning light, Tang Shaowu sat relaxed, his face expressionless, yet the aura he exuded gave people a sense of imposing authority without anger.

As Su Weile approached, she observed the man on the other side.

Although Su Weile is straightforward and simple-minded, she has grown up with her father and uncles and is still somewhat sensitive to certain people.

Although the man in front of her was dressed in a suit and tie, giving off an elite appearance, Su Weile could tell at a glance that he had a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) and a very thuggish air about him.

As Su Weile approached, the man looked at him and actually stood up, respectfully greeting him, "Hello, Young Master Su."

Su Weile was taken aback for a moment and said, "You know me?"

Before the man could answer, Tang Shaowu turned to look at Su Weile and said:

"Awake? Does your body hurt? If there's still anything uncomfortable, we'll go to the hospital for a check-up later."

Su Weile touched her lower abdomen, which was still bruised from yesterday, and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it should be fine, no need to get checked."

Tang Shaowu nodded and introduced Su Weile, "This is Pei Yong, the company's manager."

After a brief introduction, Su Weile nodded to Pei Yong as a greeting.

Pei Yong tactfully said, "Young Master Tang, I won't disturb your meal any longer. I'll head back now. Let's proceed as we agreed."

Tang Shaowu nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, go and handle it now."

Then he walked over to Su Weile, tugged at his waist and said, "Let's go, let's have breakfast."

Su Weile glanced back and saw Pei Yong walk into the passageway, with a henchman quickly opening the car door for him. He was acting like a boss. "Young Master Tang, is this Pei Yong someone from your company?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"
