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

Su Weile deliberately softened her tone and said, "I didn't say anything, just that I felt quite regretful that I hadn't cared for you enough before."

Tang Shaowu gave a sarcastic laugh and closed his eyes again.

Su Weile explained, "Young Master Tang, everyone makes mistakes, but those who can correct them are good comrades. Let's forgive him! Forgiveness makes you handsome!"

"Su Weile, I hope you can remember what you said today. If I do something wrong in the future, you must forgive me in a cool way."

Su Weile was caught off guard. "Huh? What's this about me?"

Su Weile's little head spun around and around, "Damn, I finally know why you're so rich. You're really an outstanding businesswoman. You can always get yourself a favorable position in everything."

I'm giving you this advice, so you can still find a way to squeeze in some benefits for yourself. Cunning, you old fox. A scheming man.

Tang Shaowu smiled softly and said nothing.

After massaging for a while, Su Weile took out a sandalwood five-tooth comb specifically for head massage. Massaging the scalp with this was both comfortable and effortless.

Tang Shaowu paused for a moment and asked, "Did you bring this? Or did you buy it in Jiangcheng?"

"You brought this? This is a family heirloom. Isn't this what we used to press the 'yao' button in Jinhai? You've forgotten?"

"I didn't forget, I just didn't expect that in such a rush you would still remember to bring it with you."

Su Weile proudly said, "Are you kidding me? I even remembered to bring my acupuncture needles, okay? What if you get a headache?"

Tang Shaowu paused for a moment and then said, "Thank you, Lele."

Su Weile smiled very happily and said, "You're welcome, Shao Wu."

After massaging his head for more than twenty minutes, Tang Shaowu said gently, "That's enough, you can rest for a while."

Then he took Su Weile's hand and helped him massage his fingers.

Su Weile looked at their clasped hands and gently asked, "Why are you so late? Have you been working all this time?"

Tang Shaowu leaned gently against the headboard. "Yeah, I just got back. There's been a lot going on. I won't be back too early tomorrow; I have a lot of formal meetings."

Su Weile thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow."

Tang Shaowu slightly raised his eyes to look at him, "Aren't you bored?"

Su Weile nodded. "Okay, I'll come with you to work. Wake me up when you wake up tomorrow, and I'll go to work with you."

Su Weile slowly lay down on the bed next to Tang Shaowu. Suddenly, he remembered something, took out his phone and said, "By the way, Tang Shaowu, can you help me take a look? Is there any hope for this game? I'm the black player."

As she spoke, she pushed her phone in front of Tang Shaowu. On the screen was a photo of a game in progress, which Su Weile had secretly taken while Old Master Jiang and the butler weren't paying attention.

After watching for a while, Tang Shaowu said, "We can win."

Upon hearing this, Su Weile's eyes lit up as she jumped up, moved closer to Tang Shaowu's chest, and squeezed in front of the phone screen. "Quick, tell me how to win!"

Tang Shaowu lowered his eyes to look at his head under his chin. The familiar scent of shampoo made him unconsciously take a deep breath.

When Tang Shaowu was explaining the moves to Su Weile for the third time, Su Weile suddenly straightened up, jumped out of Tang Shaowu's arms, and shouted...

"Oh, I get it. Tang Shaowu, you're really amazing! Your move was so much better than mine!"

Tang Shaowu suddenly became interested and asked, "What's your trick? Tell me about it."

Su Weile picked up her phone, but instead of looking at the photos on it, she put it directly under her pillow.

Then, in a serious tone, he said, "My trick is to go down to the chessboard in the garden at night, when it's dark and windy, and remove two of the opponent's pieces."

Tang Shaowu rarely froze for a moment. This time, he was genuinely stunned. Seeing Tang Shaowu's expression, Su Weile immediately said...

"What kind of expression is that? Do you think I won unfairly? Let me tell you, Grandpa Jiang was the one who really went too far. He knew perfectly well that when I said I was hungry, it was just an excuse, meaning he couldn't accept defeat. And then...and then!!"

He actually had the chessboard sealed up, you know, you know, one of those covers. Once it's covered, we have to keep playing the game the next day when it's uncovered again.

That old man's competitive spirit is too strong; you must have inherited that trait from him. I can't just sit here and wait to be defeated; I can't afford to lose again tomorrow.

Su Weile finished speaking in one breath, filled with righteous indignation. Seeing Tang Shaowu's obviously laughing expression, she said simply, "Go ahead and laugh at me. I don't care if you laugh at me."

Tang Shaowu's beautiful eyes curved into a smile. "I won't laugh at you. I think you did the right thing."

Su Weile raised an eyebrow. Then she laughed and said, "Hehe, really? But now it's all right, I have a fair and square way to beat him. You're amazing, I'll review the moves you mentioned later."

Su Weile happily lay down, turned off her reading light, and said, "Let's go to sleep. Aren't you tired?"

Tang Shaowu stroked Su Weile's fluffy hair and lay down as well.

"Tang Shaowu, your bed is quite big, but it's not a tatami mat. Do you think I might fall off again in the middle of the night?"

In the darkness, Tang Shaowu's voice was deep and resonant: "No, don't worry, go to sleep."

More than ten minutes later, Su Weile still couldn't hold back and said in a very, very small voice...

"Tang Shaowu, don't be sad because of what happened when you were a child. It's all in the past. You're so great now, so outstanding. Forget the past and try to be happy."

Why are you always so unhappy? You're always smiling, yet you're never truly happy.

Tang Shaowu did not respond to Su Weile's words, not because they were right, but because he genuinely did not feel sad.

When he was young, when he wasn't loved and when his family members were distant, he didn't actually feel that sad. Maybe, as they say, the gene for indifference flows in his blood.

His mother had no love for her son at all; she was a cold and heartless person.

When his maternal grandfather was young, he took over the family business and quickly grew it to become the dominant force in the region. How could he not be a ruthless person? Now that he is old, he looks kind and gentle, which makes people mistakenly believe that he has always been like this.

His grandfather's mind was only focused on the family business and heirs; kinship held absolutely no place in his heart. He looked at his descendants with unemotional eyes, only with scrutiny and evaluation.

This person is a promising talent, so let's give him the last of our family's resources to nurture him.

If they feel that it's no longer working, no longer suitable, and can no longer pave the way for the Tang family, they will immediately and ruthlessly abandon them.

Of all Tang Shaowu's close relatives, who has any feelings for him? Tang Shaowu thought to himself with self-deprecation, then how much better could he be?

Tang Huai'an told Jiang Meixue that he, Tang Shaowu, was the most ruthless and heartless one. Tang Shaowu didn't want to refute it.

He never felt sad, but Su Weile thought he was, and went to great lengths to comfort him. So let him think that way, and just consider him sad.

Su Weile thought he was pitiful, so he was willing to be the pitiful person he despised the most.
