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

Having already accepted her super down-to-earth new name, Aurelia meowed and ran off.

Su Weile turned around with a smile and saw Old Master Jiang smiling at him from the living room through the French doors.

Entering the house, Su Weile called out, "Grandpa Jiang, is there anything good for lunch?"

Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "There are wonton noodles and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes."

"Then I'll eat at your place. Oh, and I'll bring one for Young Master Tang too." Su Weile took the water and headed upstairs.

Grandpa Jiang watched his figure with a smile, but there was a hint of worry in his smile.

Su Weile went into the study and waited for another half hour before the meeting ended. Su Weile immediately went to Tang Shaowu's side and said...

"Why are you so late today? Seriously, I hate it when teachers keep us late into the night in school. Don't do that again next time, or the staff will talk about you behind your back."

Tang Shaowu didn't take the medicine from Su Weile, and looked at him indifferently, asking, "What were you doing outside just now?"

Su Weile said, "Answer the phone, you can't talk here."

Tang Shaowu continued, "Whose call was it?"

Su Weile held the medicine to Tang Shaowu's lips. "Take it. Today's medicine is half an hour late. The call was from Jin Jiajia. It's her birthday, and she asked if I was free to celebrate with her."

Su Weile never lies to Tang Shaowu and almost never hides anything, including her emotions.

He himself did not know that his honesty with Tang Shaowu had diminished much of Tang Shaowu's hostility.

After hearing this, Tang Shaowu took the medicine, and Su Weile immediately brought him water.

"That's exactly what I was going to ask you. Can we go back before next Wednesday? If we can, I'll buy a gift and take it back with me. If we can't go back, I'll mail it to her as soon as possible."

Tang Shaowu pulled his hand over and made him sit on his lap. He naturally slipped his hand inside the loose sweater and touched Su Weile's warm waist and stomach.

"Let's mail the gift to her in advance; we haven't decided on our return date yet. Do you like Jiangcheng?"

"Oh? Jiangcheng? I like it, it's great. Ouch, it tickles."

Tang Shaowu asked, "Have you decided what to buy?"

Su Weile frowned slightly. "I really haven't thought of anything. In the past, everyone celebrated her birthday together, and we'd all come up with a few gifts. I'd pick the most expensive one and give it to her then. Let's wait a bit, after dinner I'll choose something better for her."

Tang Shaowu looked at him without saying anything. Su Weile smiled and said...

"Oh, right, I've arranged a lunch for you. We're going to Grandpa Jiang's place. Today, his little kitchen is serving wonton noodles and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. You can have the noodles, and I'll have the glutinous rice cakes. It's a happy decision, isn't it?"

Thanks to Su Weile, Grandpa Jiang enjoyed a lively lunch today.

In fact, Tang Shaowu doesn't often stay at the old house when he returns to Jiangcheng. Even when he does, Grandpa Jiang almost never sees him. In such a large house, if someone intentionally avoids him, they might not see each other even once a year if they live together.

With Su Weile at the dinner table, it was destined to be a happy and lively occasion.

At the dinner table, Su Weile ate her wonton noodles while her eyes were fixed on the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes on her plate. The other side dishes on the table were also exquisite, with more than ten different kinds, both meat and vegetables. It was enough to whet one's appetite.

"Tang Shaowu, I'll eat half of the wonton noodles, and then I'll eat the brown sugar glutinous rice cake."

Tang Shaowu said expressionlessly, "If you don't finish your noodles, then you can forget about the brown sugar glutinous rice cake."

Su Weile was a little angry. "Brown sugar glutinous rice cakes don't taste good when they're cold. You should eat more while they're freshly made."

Tang Shaowu ignored him and continued eating.

Su Weile pushed the bowl over and said, "Then I want all the wontons in this bowl, I don't want the noodles."

Tang Shaowu looked up at him, and then, to the astonishment of Grandpa Jiang and the butler, he picked the noodles from Su Weile's bowl and put them into his own, giving all his wontons to Su Weile.

Su Weile watched with a grin while quickly grabbing a brown sugar glutinous rice cake and eating it first.

During the meal, Old Master Jiang inquired about company matters, and although Tang Shaowu's words were simple, he answered all questions. With Su Weile keeping the atmosphere lively, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Tang Shaowu took Su Weile back to his room to rest. Once inside, Su Weile set up his tools and said to Tang Shaowu, "Lie down quickly, Dr. Su is about to serve you."

Tang Shaowu smiled, changed into his pajamas, lay down, and closed his eyes to enjoy Su Weile's massage and acupuncture services.

While pressing on it, Su Weile said, "Young Master Tang, how have you been feeling lately? You know, that thing in your head, what exactly is it? I couldn't help but look it up, and it seems that even though it's benign, there are several types, and locations, and what else?"

Tang Shaowu opened his eyes, looked at Su Weile, and said, "Su Weile, don't look into those things. I know my illness, so don't worry. If you don't want to see a doctor, then don't look into it."

Su Weile nodded. He had really mentally prepared himself for a long time before checking, and his hands were ice-cold throughout the process. He felt incredibly nervous seeing every single word. However, he was genuinely worried about Tang Shaowu.

Tang Shaowu closed his eyes again and said, "Don't worry about Jin Jiajia's gift. I'll have someone choose one for you and send it over."

Su Weile was still immersed in her fear when she suddenly heard this and paused for a moment before reacting. "Ah? A gift~ No need, why would you buy it? I'll buy it myself."

Tang Shaowu said without any room for argument, "I've already spoken to my secretary, he'll go. He's very good at this kind of thing, and any gift he chooses will be something every girl will like. It's settled then."

Su Weile hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then how about I ask you to spend money to buy me a gift? I'll pay you back however much you ask."

Tang Shaowu opened his eyes, looked at Su Weile, and said, "You're going to settle accounts with me about money? Are we closer, or is Jin Jiajia closer to you?"

Su Weile sensed Tang Shaowu's rising anger and immediately coaxed, "Hehe, we're close, we're the closest. We're like we're always biu~biu~biu~~ together."

Tang Shaowu looked at the grinning Su Weile. The slight discomfort he felt earlier from Su Weile's video call with Jin Jiajia was now amplified. He asked seriously, "Su Weile, what do you think our relationship is?"

Su Weile was suddenly stunned. Tang Shaowu had never asked such a question before. He had said that he liked Su Weile, the kind of liking one has for a lover. He said that he didn't need Su Weile to respond, that he wouldn't force him, and that he was content as long as Su Weile was by his side.

Su Weile actually knew that she liked Tang Shaowu as early as when Tang Shaowu was ill, but she couldn't accept it, which led to the argument between the two.

Then Tang Shaowu fell ill. From then on, Su Weile learned about Tang Shaowu's true condition. It was at that time that Su Weile came to a realization, stopped forcing herself to escape, followed her heart, and stayed by his side to accompany him.

But Tang Shaowu's sudden question about their relationship left him speechless.

Tang Shaowu stared at him for a long time, just staring straight at him. Su Weile blinked and smiled, but didn't say anything.

Tang Shaowu suddenly gave a cold laugh and said, "I know, in your heart we have a relationship that can't be made public."

These words made Su Weile's heart clench painfully. "No. I didn't think that way. It's just that I just couldn't think of a way to describe it."

Tang Shaowu closed his eyes, as if he were asleep, and no longer gave Su Weile any response.

Su Weile's voice grew softer and softer, finally pausing before gently saying, "Don't be angry~~"

Su Weile continued to massage Tang Shaowu diligently and perform acupuncture. After everything was finished, she gently combed his skin with a five-pronged comb.

Tang Shaowu didn't open his eyes. Su Weile helped Tang Shaowu cover himself with the blanket, then quietly walked out.

The door closed gently, and Tang Shaowu slowly opened his eyes, looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling with a gloomy expression.
