Am I not good to her?

Everything was changing for the better. Lin Yu's condition had suddenly improved. She was still as quiet as before, but Tao Xingye could tell from her expression that she was in a relatively relaxed state.

When he told He Yao the result, He Yao didn't believe it at first.

"I have reason to suspect that you made this up to prevent me from contacting her." He Yao showed no mercy to Tao Xingye and was about to leave with her bag.

"What if it's not?" Tao Xingye didn't stop him.

What if it wasn't? He Yao turned around and looked at him. This man always kept his words watertight. Even if he was really lying, even if she was a psychiatrist, she couldn't see anything strange.

Now that she can no longer contact Lin Yu, Tao Xingye is still willing to share Lin Yu's current situation with her. To be funny, she should feel happy.

"If it's really as you say, then please continue your current relationship with her." He Yao took out the treatment plan she had brought with her. "Since I can't see Lin Yu, please implement this plan."

Tao Xingye reached out to take it, but He Yao took a step back.

"What?" Tao Xingye was displeased.

"No matter what conflict you have with Lin Yu, she is a patient now. Please give a patient the minimum respect. It is my fault that I failed to help her recover." He Yao handed the information forward, and Tao Xingye's face turned obviously worse.

He glanced at He Yao and carefully put the information into the drawer, even locking it.

"You think I'm not good to her?" Tao Xingye's hand unconsciously touched the back of his neck. Lin Yu had bitten him last night, and the mark was probably still there. Why did He Yao, an outsider, think that he and Lin Yu couldn't get along?

He Yao remained silent. She didn't think Tao Xingye was that good to Lin Yu. He knew his wife had a mental illness, yet he interrupted her treatment and even prevented her from seeing outsiders.

This is not normal love in any way.

"Goodbye." He Yao left the office.

Tao Xingye opened a drawer and began to look over the treatment plan. He Yao's writing was very detailed, not vague, more like a conversation with a person. That pattern easily made Tao Xingye empathize with her. Looking at the somewhat absurd analysis, Tao Xingye threw the plan onto the table.

"Why do I lack company?" Tao Xingye found it funny and opened the computer with some revenge. The document was lying alone on the table.

Tao Xingye was annoyed by what he saw and pulled out the cover with the words "Lin Yu Treatment Plan" printed on it in black. It seemed easy to lose a few papers in there, so Tao Xingye paused and picked up a work document from the drawer.

He removed the cover with the WuXi Pharma logo and carefully put it on the treatment plan.

"It looks much better now." Tao Xingye stuffed the treatment plan disguised as a work document into the briefcase he carried with him.

He was just looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Tao Xingye sat back in his original position.

The assistant brought an invitation and said, "Boss Tao, Boss Wei didn't say what it was about."

There was no need to say what the matter was. Tao Xingye looked at the time on the invitation. Eight o'clock in the evening was a good time to discuss things.

"Go on down." He threw the invitation into his briefcase.

Tao Xingye unconsciously began to pack up his papers before going to an appointment that evening. It was only natural for him to go home and work, right? After all, it would be midnight by the time he got home.

He thought that the documents were already packed and it would be too troublesome to release them.

So Tao Xingye didn't hesitate to go downstairs, drive, park the car, and enter the password.

"Why did you come back so suddenly?" Lin Yu poked his head out of the bathroom and quickly ran back, "Don't run away again!"

Giving the kitten a bath? Tao Xingye put down his briefcase, took off his coat, and rolled up his sleeves as he walked to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Tao Damai's fur was all wet and sticky, making his normally large frame seem smaller. Lin Yu, wearing an apricot sweater, squatted to the side with her back to him.

Her hair hung down to the ground, and the wet ends curled into a beautiful arc.

Lin Yu was bathing the kitten by herself. Tao Xingye held her hair and wrapped it around his hands a few times, "Why don't you wait for me to come back to bathe it?" Tao Xingye looked at her left leg, wondering how long she had been squatting there.

"My leg is fine." Lin Yu wrapped the kitten with a towel. She stood in front of the mirror and blew Damai's hair. Only then did she realize that Tao Xingye had been holding her hair.

Her heart moved, and she lowered her head, "Are you busy at work?"

"It's okay. I have to go to discuss business tonight... Don't wait for me." Tao Xingye saw a comb next to him, loosened Lin Yu's hair and began to comb her hair. "Shall I braid two braids for you?"

He had learned how to braid hair a long time ago. "Do you like pearl hairpins?" He still had a set that he hadn't had time to give away, and it was now kept in the safe.

He wouldn't take it out easily if Lin Yu said she didn't like it.

"It's okay." Lin Yu didn't want to talk about this topic. "Are you okay?"

Tao Xingye lowered his brows and quickly finished braiding Lin Yu's hair. He smoothed the two braids over her and brought them in front of her. Through the mirror, he looked at her. His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"It's beautiful." Lin Yu squeezed Tao Xingye's shoulder and walked out, "I'll go out first."

Lin Yu didn’t know what Tao Xingye was thinking at that time. Fortunately and like were two different answers.

Just being "okay" wasn't enough to convince Tao Xingye to take out the set of hairpins he'd hidden in the safe. It was ridiculous; he knew showing his vulnerability would win Lin Yu's sympathy, but when there was tangible evidence to prove how important Lin Yu was to him, he'd rather keep it hidden.

It would be best if he was the only one in the world who knew about it.

After all, he still didn't want Lin Yu to really sympathize with him.

It was a quiet day, and he stayed by Lin Yu's side, working. Lin Yu held the cat, sometimes reading, sometimes lost in thought. He took a moment to glance at Lin Yu, the two braids he had created making her look particularly beautiful.

Working from home seems acceptable.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yu touched his face. "Is there cat hair?"

"Yeah." Tao Xingye raised his hand and took away the non-existent cat hair for Lin Yu. "What do you want to eat? I'll make you dinner."

"No!" Lin Yu refused sharply. It was not like she couldn't take care of herself. He had work to do in the evening, and it was almost 7:30. "You should leave now."

"..." Tao Xingye carefully observed Lin Yu's micro-expressions. It seemed that she was not too angry. "Then if you are hungry in the early morning, call me." Tao Xingye took the briefcase and said, "Then I will leave first?"

Lin Yu nodded, and Tao Xingye left.

When we arrived at the club, Wei Zhe had not arrived yet. Liu Quan and Tao Xingye were sitting opposite each other.

"Are you here?" Liu Quan didn't stand up, but exchanged a few words with Tao Xingye, neither cold nor indifferent, just like his usual style. Tao Xinghai glanced at Tao Xingye, but still didn't say hello.

"How's it going? You know what's going on, right?" Wei Zhe brought Chen Meng in. Unlike last time, Chen Meng was dressed formally tonight. As if she knew there was no place for the Shen family at the table, Chen Meng walked towards the sofa in the back.

Wei Zhe sat down in front of Shen Meng. "This is Miss Shen. I'm planning to hire her as an advertising planner. She's here to sit in on the class tonight."

Wei Zhe was more casual than the others, tapping his crossed legs and swaying them. "The Tao family... oh, no, it should be Yao Ming Jiansheng," Wei Zhe sneered, without a trace of apology. "After all, your father doesn't disown you as his son."

"Wei Zhe!" Liu Quan glared at him. "This is not the time for you to act on impulse." Tao Xingye's company might be small, but its production line was first-rate. Even though Tao Xingye's company was the smallest of the four parties involved in this collaboration, it was irreplaceable.

"It's just a joke, Mr. Tao, don't you mind, right?" Wei Zhe raised his head towards Tao Xingye, then looked at Tao Xinghai, "Then let's just call you Little Mr. Tao, right? After all, we're older than you are. Even though Xingye has left the Tao family, he's still your brother."

Wei Zhe was determined to embarrass Tao Xingye, and his words became increasingly outrageous. He was furious. He could have secured a business by teaming up with the Wanyun Group, but now not only did it fly away, but he had to bring in two more people to secure it.

Two more people means two more people to share the profits.

"Mr. Tao, transportation is Wanyun's main business. Is this line in order?" Wei Zhe opened his mouth and started to speak.

Tao Xinghai gritted his teeth and said nothing. Tao Xingye glanced at his brother and said, "Boss Wei is joking again. Why is Wan Yun in such a mess?"

Chen Meng couldn't bear to see Wei Zhe's aggressive look. Tao Xinghai looked like a little brother to her. She stood up and poured tea for the others. "This tea is good. You should try it."

After she finished pouring tea for the other three people, she walked back to Wei Zhe and was about to add more tea for him, but Wei Zhe didn't look at her and raised his arm to block the kettle. "No need."

Chen Meng didn't insist, so she put down the kettle and sat back. Liu Quan gave her a comforting look, and Chen Meng responded with a smile.

"We're here to do business, right?" Wei Zhe said sarcastically, "Tao Xingye, you and Liu Quan will produce. Wanyun will handle the transportation, and I'll handle the sales. Here's the contract. If you think it's feasible, just sign it tonight."

"Didn't we agree that the Liu family would also be the distributor?" Liu Quan looked at the part of the contract that was different from the previous one. "Exclusive agency is just an empty title. Why would you cancel the Liu family's original agency rights just to argue about it?"

"I'm fighting for this false reputation." Wei Zhe narrowed his eyes. "Sign or not, I'm not forcing you."

"Why are you so angry?" Liu Quan suddenly grabbed Wei Zhe's collar and said, "Didn't your father teach you even the most basic manners? Chen Meng and you are no longer engaged! My pursuit of her has nothing to do with you. You don't need to show off in front of me again and again."

"How dare you admit it!" Wei Zhe punched Liu Quan in the cheek, "Do you have any fucking shame?"

"It's better than you having shame!" Liu Quan was still a veteran, and Wei Zhe was no match for him. Tao Xingye was delighted to see Wei Zhe get humiliated, and Tao Xinghai even laughed.

As for Chen Meng, one of the parties involved, she sat there oblivious to the others. When Wei Zhe and Liu Quan came close to her, she retreated, seemingly afraid of getting her clothes dirty.

Wei Zhe, who had been showing off for a long time, was finally subdued by Liu Quan. Wei Zhe glared at the arrogant Chen Meng and asked, "Are you relieved?"

Chen Meng glanced at the person on the ground, picked up his briefcase and walked away.

Only then did Liu Quan let go of Wei Zhe. Perhaps thinking that this man was his cousin, he reached out to pull Wei Zhe.

"No need!" Wei Zhe said sarcastically, "I'll take the exclusive agency rights! It's up to you to sign the contract or not." He slammed the door and walked out.

Liu Quan took a contract and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. There's nothing much to discuss between the three of us. I'm leaving now."

Tao Xingye nodded and took a contract and put it in his briefcase.

"Thank you." Tao Xinghai's voice suddenly sounded, and Tao Xingye turned around and looked at his brother.

Tao Xinghai was a little embarrassed. "I'm just talking about the facts." He wanted to say something else, but Tao Xingye interrupted him coldly, "Whatever."

Tao Xingye left in a hurry after saying this. Tao Xinghai held his breath and kicked his brother's chair.

It was not yet ten o'clock when Tao Xingye rushed home. Lin Yu was still asleep, with a nightlight on by the bed. The nightlight was blue, and Tao Xingye had no habit of turning on nightlights. It was only after Lin Yu was discharged from the hospital after the car accident that he installed one at home.

It was a shell-shaped lamp that would emit a light blue light when turned on, and the sea of ​​stars inside the shell would be reflected in it, making it sparkle.

That small starry sky was Tao Xingye's selfish desire. When he chose this desk lamp, he was thinking whether Lin Yu would think of him when she saw those little stars.

In this way, even if he is not by Lin Yu's side, he is "by" Lin Yu all the time. He believes in the power of missing her.

He didn't understand at that time that missing someone, or being missed, was never something to be happy about.

Lin Yu hummed, turned around, opened and closed his eyes, "Good evening."

Tao Xingye was amused, "Are you hungry?" He saw that there were no signs of use in the kitchen and no takeaway garbage in the house.

Lin Yu closed her eyes, apparently falling asleep again. Tao Xingye pulled the quilt over her and went to the kitchen to cook for him and Lin Yu. After cooking, he tiptoed to the bedroom and whispered in Lin Yu's ear, "Are you hungry?"

Lin Yu opened his eyes and was stunned for two seconds.

Tao Xingye helped her up and squatted down to put her shoes on. After putting on her shoes, Lin Yu was completely sober and didn't care about Tao Xingye putting on her shoes. She turned around and hugged Tao Damai.

The two chatted about this in a casual manner. Tao Xingye's cooking skills were getting better and better. Even medicinal dishes could be made to look good, smell good and taste good. When Lin Yu ate, he automatically took away the bowl. Looking at the busy figures in the kitchen, Lin Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Let me do it." She walked to the side to get the bowl, but Tao Xingye raised his wrist to push it away for her, "Really, no need, you go and rest." His voice was soft, and he always had a gentleness when working, which was very different from his usual cold appearance.

Noticing his angular chin, Lin Yu wondered when he became so thin.

"Why, are you fascinated by your husband?" Tao Xingye threw a coquettish glance at Lin Yu proudly.

"You look like you're dying." Lin Yu twisted his arm and returned to the house with peace of mind.

After she finished washing up, Tao Xingye came in. He threw a file on the bedside table and went straight to the bathroom. The sound of water stopped, and Tao Xingye came out without drying his hair.

Lin Yu was covered in moisture and felt cold, so he hid aside.

"Don't hide." Tao Xingye put his feet on her, "Come and sleep."

Lin Yu didn't move, and Tao Xingye reached out and pulled her over.

The two of them were very close, and Tao Xingye picked up the contract with satisfaction and began to read it.

"The desk lamp doesn't bother you, does it?" Tao Xingye tilted his head.

Lin Yu wanted to ask him, "It's okay as long as you are not blind." A desk lamp will not affect her sleep. When she was a child, she could fall asleep anywhere.

Tao Xingye covered her with the quilt, leaned against the headboard and began to read the contract. He turned the pages very quietly, as if to help her sleep. Lin Yu listened to it in a daze, her eyelids too sleepy to open.
