"I don't blame you anymore."

After saying that, Tao Zhizhi also felt that she had inadvertently become the kind of person Lan Xin described as having a "love brain," and that she might have really fallen in love.

Fu Jue buried his face in the crook of her neck and rubbed against her, his soft lips occasionally brushing against her skin, sending a shiver down his spine, and a muffled sound came out:

"Zhizhi, let's stay together forever, okay?"

His sudden remark brought a blush to Tao Zhizhi's cheeks, and she smiled contentedly, "Mm."

Fu Jue looked up at her with displeasure, gave her a light peck, and stubbornly pleaded:

"What does 'hmm' mean? Zhizhi, please reply to me, okay?"

Looking at his adorable little expression, like an angry kitten with wide, round eyes, Tao Zhizhi couldn't resist teasing him, and chuckled:

Can I say it's not good?

"no!"

Fu Jue interrupted her decisively, knowing that Tao Zhizhi was trying to tease him, and made no attempt to hide his possessiveness, saying firmly:

"I can only belong to Zhizhi, don't even think about getting rid of me!"

Tao Zhizhi looked at him earnestly and replied firmly, "Fu Jue, I will not drive you away."

The two lingered tenderly for a while. In fact, Fu Jue was unwilling to let go and wanted to put Tao Zhizhi on his lap with his head on her shoulder. The intimate posture made Tao Zhizhi feel a little uncomfortable, but Fu Jue refused to let go.

Having recovered from the crisis, Fu Jue noticed the bag Tao Zhizhi had placed on the coffee table. He playfully pecked her on the cheek, his tone resolute:

"This is a loving dinner that Zhizhi brought me."

To be honest, Tao Zhizhi had only just remembered this, and nodded at his bright eyes.

The two then opened the bag, and the food inside was already cold because the box had limited insulation. Fu Jue, without any disgust, began to eat heartily, but Tao Zhizhi quickly stopped him.

"Heat it up first; it's not good to eat it cold."

Tao Zhizhi picked up the lunchbox and sat up from him. Fu Jue took her hand, put the food in his other hand, and the two walked out of the office.

Remembering the series of bad questions from earlier, Fu Jue led Tao Zhizhi slowly through the secretary's office and took the regular elevator. Based on Fu Jue's understanding of his departments, they stopped on the 21st floor and walked straight over. There were many employees having dinner in the tea room.

The employees still at work stared wide-eyed as they watched President Fu, who was usually stern and unsmiling, become all tender and affectionate, greeting them with Tao Zhizhi.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"My girlfriend made it. I'll come down and borrow the microwave to heat it up."

The employees, bewildered by the sudden display of affection, were quite surprised, but the woman beside President Fu looked familiar, wearing a polite smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu. I've already eaten."

"Mrs. Fu's cooking looks delicious! Hello, Madam!"

The employee hurriedly said goodbye to the two men, clutching his warmed-up lunchbox, and left the break room.

His sudden boasting caused Tao Zhizhi to give an awkward smile and wave hello:

"Hello, I am Tao Zhizhi."

Seeing how brief her introduction was, Fu Jue added:

"My wife owns a restaurant called Warm Food Shop. Please support her if you can!"

Fu Jue dropped this bombshell, and the employees in the marketing department and the next department suddenly fell silent. Yu Er took a deep breath, clearly recognizing him. Hearing President Fu's confirmation, she ran to Tao Zhizhi's side:

"Boss, boss, I'm a loyal fan of your shop!"

"Your cooking is so delicious! May I have the honor of taking a picture with you?"

Yu Er looked on with admiration, holding the phone in both hands, his eyes filled with longing.

"Sure, thank you for liking it."

As he spoke, he released Fu Jue's hand. Fu Jue felt the warmth in his hand leave and was somewhat dissatisfied. He stood aside with his arms crossed, waiting for them to take a group photo.

Led by Yu Er, one after another came forward to take photos, just like a fan meeting for Tao Zhizhi.

Fu Jue coldly watched as the employees pushed him further and further away from his seat. Impatiently, he stepped forward and reached out to one of them:

“You all stand together for the photo.”

Seeing his indifferent expression, the employees realized they had taken up their date time and all stood together to take a group photo.

Some fans left silently before they could even say a word to Tao Zhizhi, under Fu Jue's cold gaze.

Fu Jue's eyes finally focused solely on Tao Zhizhi again, his expression softening as he stepped forward and took her hand.

"Is Zhizhi satisfied with me now?"

Tao Zhizhi realized that he had deliberately brought her here to announce his girlfriend to the employees.

"Satisfied!"

Her eyes crinkled with laughter as she hugged Fu Jue's arm and nestled against him, her previous gloom vanishing.

The two ate in the tea room, and Fu Jue couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled that it was in this very tea room that they first met.

Tao Zhizhi was puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly started laughing at her while eating. She touched her face.

Is there something on my face?

Fu Jue pulled her hand, which was touching her face, and held it tightly.

"Zhizhi, speaking of which, this place is where we first met."

Seeing her interest, Fu Jue told her about the first day he went to find her, and that bringing Tao Zhizhi here was also for his own selfish reasons.

"I see. Well then, you should thank the guest who played matchmaker for us."

"Of course, he's the new head of the marketing department now. Zhizhi, would you like to meet the person who was the first to open up the Tianyi Market?"

Tao Zhizhi shook her head, happy that so many people liked her food, and didn't want to disturb his work.

After today's events, Fu Jue was even more clingy than usual. Suddenly, for some reason, he turned the tables on Tao Zhizhi:

"Zhizhi, can I appear in your WeChat Moments now?"

Tao Zhizhi was taken aback, pursed her lips, and looked away: [Oh no, oh no, I think I forgot too.]

She gave an awkward yet polite smile, blinked ingratiatingly, and pleaded softly:

"Fu Jue, can you send me the photos?"

"I promise I'll send it right now!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jue raised an eyebrow, then adopted a pitiful expression, deliberately drawing out the last syllable:

"Hey, so Zhizhi doesn't even have a single photo of us!"

"It's because I'm such a bad boyfriend, ugh—"

Tao Zhizhi gently shook his arm:

"I forgot to take a picture, baby, could you send it to me?"

Realizing that she had blurted out the same address she used to use to coax Lan Xin, she blushed and covered her red lips.

Fu Jue felt refreshed upon hearing this, and couldn't help but smile, chuckling:

"Okay, I'll send it to the baby right away."

He deliberately emphasized the two words, his gentle and magnetic voice sounding very pleasant, drifting into Tao Zhizhi's ears and stirring her heart.

After receiving the photos, Tao Zhizhi posted a nine-grid photo collage with the caption: "[My boyfriend, my future husband.]"
