Chapter 98: Little White Face and Soft Rice King (2) (Sweet Little Couple...)

Seeing that Tao Rui was willing to reconcile, Li Jiaxuan happily agreed to go for a candlelight dinner together.

She dragged Tao Rui over to her friends, and a girl waved her phone at her, winking and saying, "Jiaxuan, I posted a video of Shi Lang's frustrated look, and it made me want to laugh."

Li Jiaxuan saw a short video on her phone. It was a scene of Tao Rui running towards her with Shi Lang desperately chasing after them. Tao Rui protected her like her knight, which made her heart skip a beat. Then she saw that Shi Lang did look funny, a bit like a clown in a fairy tale. She couldn't help laughing out loud.

Li Jiaxuan saw a comment below saying: This man is so handsome, Shi Lang deserved to lose!

She felt inexplicably better and said to her friends, "Let's stop here for today. Tao Rui and I have things to do, so we'll be leaving first."

Friends waved their hands and said, "Go ahead, it's a candlelight dinner, enjoy it."

"Yeah, leave us alone. We're going somewhere else to have fun. Just put the bill on Shi Lang for dinner tonight."

"Tao Rui, let's make an appointment next time."

"Let's make an appointment next time." Tao Rui smiled and nodded, still as gentle and warm as when he came. Like an older brother.

After everyone watched Tao Rui and Li Jiaxuan leave, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Tao Rui is much better than I imagined. If nothing else, he's at least pleasing to the eye and interesting. If I could meet a man like him, I'd be willing to be with him."

"You're willing to do it after just one meeting? How can playing around be the same as getting married?"

"So what? Still looking for a marriage partner of equal status? Honestly, the Li family is the richest, but now only Jiaxuan is left to support them. We don't know what the future holds. But if there's a strong marriage partner, haha, there's a greater chance of being swallowed up."

"Jiaxuan isn't short of money. Wouldn't it be nice to find a husband who's good-looking, playful, and caring? I think Tao Rui is great. Let's ask him out next time. I really want to know what else he can do."

"He has a very high emotional intelligence. He didn't lose face even after being tricked today. He gave Jiaxuan enough face and played well with us. He also severely reduced Shi Lang's prestige. He's very smart. I don't think he's a coward who lives off others for free."

"But I heard that he took Mr. Li away? Jiaxuan doesn't like Mr. Li and doesn't understand what he means."

This issue is also the biggest problem currently standing between Tao Rui and Li Jiaxuan.

The candlelight dinner had a great atmosphere, and the two of them were really happy while eating and chatting, as if they were back in the days when they were in love.

But once they were in the car on the way home, the atmosphere shifted. Tao Rui noticed that the smile on Li Jiaxuan's face had vanished, and she was staring out the window, lost in thought. He raised the partition between the backseat and the driver's seat, took Li Jiaxuan's hand, and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Did something unhappy happen?"

Li Jiaxuan looked down at their clasped hands, saw the wedding ring on them, took a deep breath, and said truthfully, "I was thinking about Grandpa. I don't like the idea of ​​you just taking him over. That's our home, and I've made it clear I don't want to. I think you should consider my feelings."

Tao Rui looked apologetic. "After our argument last night, I thought carefully and realized I really shouldn't have taken Grandpa home, nor should I have argued with you. After all, this is a matter between you and your grandchildren..."

"Tao Rui, I don't mean to treat you as an outsider." Li Jiaxuan hurriedly explained. Looking at Tao Rui's expression, she was a little afraid that he would misunderstand. They had just been married for a short time, and she really didn't want their relationship to become strained because of other people's affairs.

Tao Rui smiled at her soothingly and found an excuse for himself, "Actually, I was considering our reputation. I found that many people know that you and Grandpa don't get along, and our marriage was also forced by Grandpa.

I think you've just taken over the company, and this is a critical period. If you maintain good relationships at home, others will have one less excuse to attack you. Anyway, you leave early and come back late every day, so you won't get along with him. "

Li Jiaxuan lowered her head in thought. Her biggest complaint about Grandpa living in her house was that she didn't like him. She didn't want him entering her territory, and she didn't want to hear a word he said. But to be honest, avoiding Grandpa was very easy. The house was large, and there were many servants. If she wanted, she could go a month without seeing him.

Tao Rui patted her hand gently. "Now that Grandpa has taken it over, it wouldn't be a good idea to send it away right away. Let's send it away when there's a suitable opportunity. Leave the trouble I've caused to me to solve. You just need to focus on handling the company's affairs and don't worry about this matter."

Tao Rui approached her and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let him bully you. We are from the same country."

Li Jiaxuan laughed out loud, "You are the same as me, whether as a human or a ghost. I really don't know what you are like in front of grandpa."

Tao Rui raised an eyebrow. "Even if you have a thousand faces, I will always be with you. After all, you are my wife. Putting the ring on my finger will lock me in for life."

He picked up Li Jiaxuan's hand and shook it. The two rings sparkled, and in Li Jiaxuan's eyes, they looked more beautiful than ever.

When they returned home, Grandpa Li was already asleep, and the two sides never touched each other.

Tao Rui whispered as he went upstairs, "Look, isn't it the same as if this person doesn't exist?"

Li Jiaxuan couldn't help laughing. She pulled Tao Rui back to her room quickly, quickening her pace as she passed Grandpa Li's room. It felt a bit exciting. After closing the door, she patted her chest and said, "It's like we're doing something behind his back."

Tao Rui lowered his head and gently scratched the tip of her nose. "You should be like this more often, like a lively little girl, with your eyes full of stars."

What does it feel like to be loved by a top idol? That’s how Li Jiaxuan feels now.

Blushing, heartbeating, and heart pounding!

But Tao Rui didn't let her go. He bent down and asked in her ear in a low and pleasant voice: "Are you not going to take a shower? Do you want me to help you?"

"No need!" Li Jiaxuan pushed him away and walked quickly into the bathroom. She could still hear his chuckle when she closed the door.

This is so unfair! How did he suddenly become so good at flirting? Li Jiaxuan covered her face and stood in front of the mirror. When she looked up, she saw a self she had never seen before. Her face was powdered, and her usual bright and strong appearance had turned into a shy look, which was both unfamiliar and fresh.

She raised her hands and fanned her face. Thinking of the happy time she spent with Tao Rui today, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she went to take a shower in a happy mood.

Tao Rui sat down on the red velvet sofa and took out his phone. It had vibrated several times today, but Tao Rui ignored it, knowing it was someone from the Tao family. He only took it out to check it late at night.

There were several messages on WeChat. All three members of the Tao family sent messages, but the stepmother sent the most.

"Xiao Rui, is everything alright after Grandpa took her back? Jiaxuan is still young, so if she's upset, just bear with her."

"Or I can talk to Jiaxuan for you. Women are easy to talk to. Just go shopping and chat."

"Xiao Rui, why didn't you reply? Did you have a fight with Jiaxuan? Alas, Jiaxuan looks powerful, and she's the only heir to the Li family. You should be more patient, after all..."

Then there was a retraction. Tao Rui could guess what it was without even seeing it. It was something like, "You can't have a temper when you marry into the family." Then, hypocritically, he withdrew it, feeling it was inappropriate. Perhaps the stepmother thought he cared about the Tao family, and kept an eye on any news.

The original owner was indeed like that, but he was no longer interested in the Tao family. He just glanced at it and closed it without replying a single word because it was nothing important.

The same goes for Tao's father and stepbrother. One of them said he wanted to visit the old man, and the other wanted to meet him and his friends. They had only one purpose: to ask for money and to find ways to benefit from it.

The original owner had extravagant expectations for his family and had given the Tao family many benefits. Those benefits all went to Li Jiaxuan, and he was a master at using other people's money. Now that Tao Rui had come through, he was probably going to be a miser, and they wouldn't get any benefits at all.

The bathroom door rang, and Tao Rui looked up to see Li Jiaxuan walking out with her hair loose and wrapped in a bathrobe. She looked a little softer than she had during the day, and even without her makeup, she was still soft and tender. She was only twenty years old. If it weren't for dealing with those old foxes in the company, why would she need to package herself so sharp?

Tao Rui stood up and walked towards her, tilted his head and kissed her on the cheek, "Hurry up and dry your hair, wait for me."

He pushed Li Jiaxuan towards the dressing table and walked quickly into the bathroom.

The original owner's impression of Li Jiaxuan was "powerful," and her stepmother played a significant role in this. Li Jiaxuan was naturally beautiful, with a bright and sunny appearance, far from being delicate. Furthermore, as the head of the company, she deliberately sought to appear mature, and her makeup style was always conservative, further contradicting her delicate and dignified image.

The stepmother kept making insinuations, and the original owner was very dissatisfied with her. This was simply because the stepmother was afraid that the original owner and Li Jiaxuan would really get together and cause trouble for her later. The original owner actually believed it.

In Tao Rui's view, Li Jiaxuan was still a young, innocent princess, suddenly thrust into a situation surrounded by wolves. She had no choice but to abandon her girlish innocence and arm herself to fight it all. Perhaps he could protect her girlish innocence and give her a permanent haven at home where she could completely relax.

That night, the young couple was sweet and tender. In the morning, Li Jiaxuan woke up to Tao Rui's good morning kiss. Tao Rui supported his head with one hand and smiled at her, "Good morning, I made breakfast for you. Do you want to get up and try it?"

Li Jiaxuan's somewhat confused eyes gradually cleared up, and she pulled up the quilt to cover half of her face a little embarrassedly.

Was this a close-range attack from a handsome guy so early in the morning? I can't stand it.

She reacted slowly, her eyes widening as she asked, "You can cook? Really?"

"Of course it's true. I went abroad by myself when I was thirteen. How could I take care of myself if I couldn't cook?"

"Your family is really..." Li Jiaxuan stopped talking mid-sentence and stood up in frustration. Although she thought the Tao family was terrible, Tao Rui seemed to be very close to his family. She was too bad at talking.

Tao Rui chuckled, handed her the clothes and said, "My family is indeed too cruel. I am alive now only because of my petty behavior. But now it's okay. Now you are my only family, they are not important anymore."

Li Jiaxuan quickly put on her clothes and hugged Tao Rui. "What happened in the past is in the past. If you don't want to deal with them alone in the future, I will accompany you."

"How can I have the time to take care of them? I might as well learn painting in my free time. From now on, it's just a matter of face, don't pay attention to them. Before, I was only giving them face because they facilitated our good marriage. That's enough. Let's go, wash up and eat." Tao Rui pulled Li Jiaxuan up and pushed her into the bathroom.

In just a few words, Li Jiaxuan clearly received Tao Rui's signal. His kindness to the Tao family was just a favor, not something to be taken seriously. From now on, she was the only family member in his family; everyone else was an outsider. This made her feel happy, because she also felt that everyone except Tao Rui was an outsider, especially the Tao family, who were all scum.

Li Jiaxuan put on a formal dress and makeup and went downstairs. She happened to see Tao Rui carrying a tray and putting food on the table. Next to the hot breakfast was her handsome husband in home clothes. A sense of happiness came over her.

She was already smiling as she walked over. Seeing chicken porridge, steamed dumplings, and various side dishes on the table, she said softly, "It must have taken a long time to make all this. Actually, just let the servants do it. You can get some more sleep."

Tao Rui pulled her to sit down and said with a smile, "I think we need to get to know each other better. Besides, I don't have much to do every day, so why not do something to strengthen our relationship? That way, when the baby is born in two years, it will be born with our love."

Li Jiaxuan smiled and took a sip of the porridge. The chicken and rice were both soft and tender, with just the right consistency. It was incredibly pleasant to the touch, and most importantly, it was fragrant, making one want to eat another immediately.

She took another bite of the steamed dumpling in surprise, then tasted a few side dishes. Her expression was already a little dull. "You're lying! How could you have done this???"

Tao Rui shrugged and ate a steamed dumpling in one bite. "I often feel like I'm dreaming too. How come I can do everything so well?"

"...Aren't you ashamed of praising yourself like that?" Li Jiaxuan asked again after taking a bite of the steamed dumpling. "Did you really make this? Did you make it yourself?"

"It's 100% made by me." Tao Rui picked up some food for her and said jokingly, "You like it? I didn't realize you were such a foodie."

"How could I? I'm not picky about food." Li Jiaxuan coughed twice and concentrated on eating. It was obvious that she loved it.

She is indeed not picky about food, but she will eat a lot more when she finds something she likes.

Tao Rui said slowly: "If you call me 'brother', I will go to the company every day to eat with you and eat the food I cook."

Li Jiaxuan lowered her head to drink porridge, her face slightly red.

Tao Rui leaned closer and whispered, "I can cook all eight major cuisines. I can make anything you want for you."

"Brother!" Li Jiaxuan called out quickly and softly without even raising her eyes.

Tao Rui held his chin and said, "What should I do? My hearing hasn't been very good recently. I don't think I heard clearly..."

Li Jiaxuan glared at him and playfully called out softly in his ear, "Brother~"

Tao Rui rubbed his ears and coughed lightly, "I'll come to you at noon...what do you want to eat?"

Li Jiaxuan smiled smugly and told him about two dishes. Seeing that it was almost time, she took two more bites and went out to work.

Tao Rui teased the little girl and then started to busy himself with his own things after she left.

The feeling of happiness is a very mysterious thing. Sometimes, even if a person is doing well in all aspects, he or she may still feel unhappy. There are many factors that make people unhappy. In their current situation, if Li Jiaxuan goes everywhere and people think that she has a useless husband, she will definitely feel uncomfortable, and no one wants to hear these words.

So he decided to do something with the existing resources. Since the original owner studied painting, he would learn painting well. It would be a good opportunity to learn another skill and cultivate his sentiments.

Tao Rui asked the housekeeper to help hire a professional teacher to teach him at home, and then asked someone to clear out a small second floor next to it and set it up as his private studio and lounge, and the first floor as a study room and reception room.

He even specifically instructed the servants to decorate the small second floor to create a small garden. Art always has to be a little bit special, at least give people a sense of elegance.

While he was doing this, Grandpa Li got up and came to find Tao Rui after dinner. Seeing that he was working hard, he praised him and advised him, "Our family doesn't lack anything. You don't have to work too hard. Just rest when you are tired. There are so many people helping us."

Tao Rui smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I just talk and give instructions. If anyone is tired, it's Xuanxuan who's tired. She rushed to the company for a meeting early in the morning. There's so much work to do every day that she has no time to rest."

Grandpa Li listened but didn't even bother praising his granddaughter. Instead, he said, "She didn't even finish college, so she shouldn't have gone to the company in the first place. She's just petty, like she's afraid her family will take her money. I told her brother to help manage the business for two years and then take it over after she graduates, but she refused. Don't you think she's too detached from family? Who can she trust?"

Tao Rui smiled calmly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if Xuanxuan doesn't finish college. In two years, when the company's affairs are stable, she can take time to study on her own and take the exam again, and she'll still be able to get her degree. My eldest brother is a civil servant back home, with a stable job. Doesn't grandpa always praise him for his ability and stable job? How can Xuanxuan have the nerve to trouble him? When Xuanxuan graduates, my eldest brother will return the company to her, but he will lose his stable job. Xuanxuan will feel bad about that."

Grandpa Li said as a matter of course, "Why not let her eldest brother be the vice president of the company? If she doesn't want to be in charge, it's the same as letting her eldest brother run it all the time. Wouldn't it be enough to give her dividends every year? Then all the shares will be in her hands, and her eldest brother will still be working for her. When I mentioned this before, her brother was very happy to do it."

"Big brother is so considerate of Xuanxuan's feelings, I'm afraid he's too embarrassed to tell the truth. I heard that big brother likes comfortable and easy jobs. He hasn't changed his position in the past ten years after passing the civil service exam, and he didn't even participate in the recent promotion selection. How could he like the intrigue and fierce competition in a big company?" Tao Rui said to Grandpa Li with understanding, "Don't worry about it, everyone has their place. Xuanxuan is a natural leader. She's performing very well in the company, so there's absolutely no problem. Grandpa, you have no idea how proud I am."

Grandpa Li was a bit unsure how to respond. Why did he feel the tone of the words was off? Everyone has their place? Did that mean his eldest grandson was only suited to being a small civil servant, not a leader? There were also promotions and selections. Every promotion and selection irritated the old man. Ten years ago, he'd been quite proud of his grandson when he mentioned him to others, but when an old friend's grandson became a cadre and his own grandson hadn't moved on, he stopped showing off. He hadn't expected Tao Rui to bring it up today.

Grandpa Li squinted his eyes and looked at Tao Rui. Seeing that he was smiling, he thought that he was probably overthinking it.

Grandpa Li scoffed and said in disbelief, "What's a girl like her supposed to do? It's such a big company, wouldn't it be great if all her family members could help out? She's just messing around on her own, she hasn't even finished school yet, how can she compare to her brother who has worked for several years?"

"Grandpa, don't underestimate Xuanxuan. She's the heir Dad has been grooming for years. Don't you trust Dad's abilities? If she didn't know how to manage things, those veterans on the board would have protested long ago. They're all shrewd people, and you could lose everything if you're not careful."

Grandpa Li's eyelids jumped. "What's winning or losing? How does this feel like gambling?"

Tao Rui laughed and said, "Business is like a battlefield. It's not about gambling, it's about fighting. Grandpa, haven't you seen a lot of news about people jumping off buildings after bankruptcy? It's all shown on TV. The blow of failure, tsk, anyone with a fragile heart can't survive it, and they have to bear the stigma. You really don't dare to take on such a job if you don't have the right skills."

His words frightened Grandpa Li a little. He stood up, said he would not disturb him anymore, and hurried back to his room.

The system scanned it and said with a smile: "Brother Rui, he's looking for a business drama to watch and is also searching the Internet for news."

Tao Rui raised his lips. "After playing a psychiatrist for so many seasons, I've finally learned something useful. It turns out that psychological suggestion really exists."

His conversation with Grandpa Li was progressive, subtly guiding the other's thinking and focusing on the key points he was talking about. Today's focus was on the Li family's grandson jumping off the building after entering the company, and it seemed to have worked, leaving a mark on Grandpa Li's mind.

Considering the original owner's attitude towards Grandpa Li, his sudden change was too abrupt and didn't fit with Grandpa Li's character. However, this didn't prevent him from using some tricks to achieve his goal. If his preference for sons over daughters extended to his wife, then he wouldn't be able to enjoy a peaceful life.

If Li Jiaxuan's father had not already made a will, the old man might have tried to seize the company. Now just let him worry about it, so that we don't have to deal with him.

Tao Rui gave a few more instructions in the small building, then went back to his room to surf the Internet. He asked the system to connect to the network to help him hire someone abroad and pay him a high price to eliminate the traces of the original owner's playboy behavior.

The original owner had been living off women for several years, but in order to enjoy the high-quality living and prevent those women from looking down on him, he maintained a friendship with everyone on the surface and pretended to be serious.

It's very difficult for people from China to investigate things abroad. Once the solid evidence is cleared, there's a 90% chance they won't find the truth. Even if they knew he had a wide circle of friends, they couldn't go to each of them and ask them questions. Besides, the original owner often got together with other men and had many friends, so it wasn't obvious that he had hooked up with many women.

Tao Rui thought that the original owner's shameful past should be covered up if possible. After all, it wasn't very glorious, and if it was brought up, he would be the one to take the blame. Now that he had traveled through time, as long as no one mentioned it, the past had nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, the people the original owner was dating at that time were all willing and knew each other well, and there was no deception. Otherwise, he would have to compensate so many women, and that would have been the end of him.

After arranging these, the system reminded Tao Rui that he could use his points to purchase the cheat code. Arriving in the new world, he had another chance to choose.

Tao Rui now has a lot of points. In the previous world, he was a perfect idol and had countless fans. He exceeded his task and got a lot of points.

He thought about the situation in this world and honestly didn't need any cheat codes. This was the benefit of learning things. As a family man supported by his wife, he felt that his ability to play games, his proficiency in musical instruments, his exceptional cooking skills, and his exceptional charm were already perfect. It seemed that he didn't need any new cheat codes to help him.

However, now that you have points, it would be a shame not to buy something. Don’t waste the opportunity.

Tao Rui wanted to avoid being laughed at, so the best path for him was to become a famous painter. A truly famous painter would be enough to shut everyone up, and their paintings would also bring in a lot of money. This path was perfect for him.

So after thinking for a moment, Tao Rui bought a master of music, chess, calligraphy and painting to teach him.

It wasn't that he wanted to learn the other three, but these four skills were sold as a package, not separately. Perhaps the price would be lower if they were separated, as the Spacetime Bureau also had to do business.

This teaching was personally taught by the masters throughout history, allowing Tao Rui to learn from them in a spiritual realm. Of course, these masters weren't real people, merely shadows of their skills. As long as Tao Rui was dedicated, they would teach him everything they knew, without reservation. In other words, if Tao Rui was willing, he could learn everything they taught, and he could choose from any of the masters at will.

This "history" encompasses not only the past five thousand years, but also future interstellar eras and ancient times. Just like "Gastronomy," it also covers many worlds Tao Rui has never visited, encompassing everything and being very comprehensive.

Tao Rui may not be able to use many of these things now and can only learn a part of them, but if he really travels to some strange world in the future, he will have the capital to survive by relying on these two things.

Tao Rui bought "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" but was not in a hurry to learn. It was almost noon, so he went to the kitchen to cook, then packed the food in a thermos and took a bus to Li Jiaxuan's company.

Aunt Zhang, who was in charge of the kitchen, said to the housekeeper, "Mr. Tao's cooking is better than mine, and Miss loves it. It would be great if Mr. Tao cooked for Miss more often."

The housekeeper sighed, "The most important thing is Mr. Tao's kindness. As long as his kindness persists, Miss's life will be better. I hope Mr. Tao will live with Miss wholeheartedly."

They had all worked at the Li family for over a decade and had watched Li Jiaxuan grow up, so naturally they had a deep affection for her. Previously, when they saw Li Jiaxuan being forced by her grandfather to be adopted and married, they were both angry and helpless, as they couldn't help in any way given their positions.

After Tao Rui brought Grandpa Li over, they were shocked to find that Tao Rui and Li Jiaxuan were having a quarrel. They were extremely worried. Fortunately, the storm had passed and Tao Rui seemed to be even more attentive to Li Jiaxuan. This was good. They hoped it would stay this way.

Tao Rui didn't have any surprises when he arrived at the company. He had sent a message to Li Jiaxuan before leaving, and when he didn't get a reply, he called Li Jiaxuan's secretary. So when he arrived at the company's front desk, the receptionist recognized him, and he entered Li Jiaxuan's office unimpeded.

Li Jiaxuan was in a meeting, which is now over. When Tao Rui walked in, he saw Li Jiaxuan sitting in a leather chair, reading documents, looking a little tired.

He raised the lunch box in his hand and said, "It's lunch break, can we pause? We can continue after we finish eating."

Li Jiaxuan nodded, walked over to him and took his hand, "Did you really cook? Are they the two dishes I mentioned?"

"Of course. You've already ordered the dishes, and if I make something else, wouldn't that be just looking for trouble?" Tao Rui opened all the lunch boxes, placed them on the coffee table, and handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Eat, try the meal I made."

"Wow, it smells so good." Li Jiaxuan ordered salt and pepper spare ribs and sweet and sour lotus root. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of spare ribs and eat it. Her eyes immediately lit up. "Delicious! Tao Rui, you are so good at cooking. How can you be so good at it?"

"Hmm? What's it called?" Tao Rui raised an eyebrow. "Did you forget about it once you put it in your mouth?"

"...Brother." Li Jiaxuan felt a little shy after calling him that, but she couldn't help laughing. She raised her hand and pushed him, "Why do you want me to call you brother? You're not ashamed. It always feels lewd."

"Believe me, endearing terms can help enhance intimacy between couples."

"I believe your serious nonsense! I won't call you that. At most, I will call you Brother Rui."

"No, just call me brother in private."

"You wish, then you want to call me sister?"

"No, didn't I call you Xuanxuan?"

"Then I'll call you Ruirui."

Tao Rui, recalling the time when she was dominated by "Rui Rui," firmly objected to the name. The two of them bickered over dinner, the chairman, previously the steady and composed figure behind her desk, now transformed into a sweet little princess.

Of course, Tao Rui won in the end, getting his wife to agree to call him "Brother Rui" when she's out, and "Brother" at home. It's true that affectionate names contribute to intimacy, and Tao Rui believes it's true; it sounds good.

After lunch, Tao Rui took Li Jiaxuan to the lounge for a nap, then left her work alone. While he could help her, the original owner knew nothing about it, and he couldn't afford to ruin her character, so he left Li Jiaxuan to struggle on her own.

Li Jiaxuan walked him to the elevator and watched him get off before returning to work. In the office area outside the chairman's office, there were several of her assistants and secretaries. They all knew that Li Jiaxuan usually had no expression on her face, and she looked very strict. She was extremely strict with her subordinates and herself. Seeing her send her husband off today was simply dazzling.

They have a secret little group where they occasionally communicate with each other.

Special Assistant A: The boss didn’t do anything with her husband just now, why do I feel like I’ve eaten a bowl of dog food?

Special Assistant B: You're right. I'm also confused. Maybe it's the look in their eyes? You can tell at a glance that their feelings are genuine, not fake.

First Secretary: But why didn't I feel anything before? What day is today? I don't even know. This is unsound! No, I have to find out what special day it is today.

Second Secretary: I hope the boss’ husband can come more often. It seems that the boss’s mood has improved. He was obviously not very happy during the meeting.

Secretary A: The title "boss' husband" is too cumbersome. Why don't we call him Mr. Tao from now on?

Secretary B: +1 for Mr. Tao. To be honest, I'm quite curious about him.

The office on the top floor gossiped about Tao Rui for a while, and the other colleagues also gossiped about him in their respective chat groups. After all, the boss's husband coming to the company to deliver lunch to the boss was really something worth gossiping about. After that, they all spontaneously gave Tao Rui a nickname - Mr. Tao.

Then they discovered that this day was not a special day because Tao Rui came every day.

Li Jiaxuan worked overtime every day and almost never got off work until after 10 pm, so Tao Rui not only came to have lunch with Li Jiaxuan at noon, but also came to have dinner with her in the evening. He would not come unless Li Jiaxuan had an appointment to eat out.

The first secretary finally breathed a sigh of relief, certain that it wasn't her fault for forgetting the special anniversary, but rather that Mr. Tao cared about his boss. This made her feel quite happy, because as the first secretary, she used to be the one to remind Li Jiaxuan to eat at mealtimes. But often, even if she put the food on the table, Li Jiaxuan would forget to eat, and the food would get cold in her busy schedule. Then, if she had a meeting, she would skip the meal.

Now that Tao Rui comes to deliver meals every day, Li Jiaxuan's mealtimes are very stable and she no longer has to worry about them. Tao Rui also watches Li Jiaxuan take a nap. It's not long, but the effect is very good. Li Jiaxuan is very energetic every afternoon and no longer looks tired like before.

These changes were noticed by the secretary and assistant, and only those who followed Li Jiaxuan every day knew how obvious the changes were. As a result, their favorability towards Tao Rui increased sharply, and they really felt that their boss had made the right choice by marrying this person. Oh, no, it could be considered a marriage, because Mr. Tao seemed to be marrying into the family.

Li Jiaxuan was actually so energetic every afternoon because Tao Rui added spiritual spring water to her meals. Li Jiaxuan was incredibly tired. She was only twenty years old, and suddenly taking over the family business was a major challenge. Even though her father had trained her, she was still overwhelmed. She was constantly on edge, juggling the overwhelming workload and the experienced business owners.

This intensity is no less than when Tao Rui was desperately improving his business skills to become an idol. So he added spiritual spring water to his wife to ensure that she would be energetic at work every day and have the clearest mind to face all difficulties. He couldn't help directly with the business, but this was still a great help.

So delivering meals every day not only ensured that they had time to spend together, but also ensured Li Jiaxuan's energy level, and let everyone in the company know that they were in love as a couple, and it also allowed Tao Rui to avoid eating with the old man who favored boys over girls. It was simply killing four birds with one stone, perfect.

However, such a leisurely and perfect life could not last forever. There would always be someone who would come out and cause trouble. The three members of the Tao family were very unhappy because they could not get a response from Tao Rui.

They simply visited the old man directly, and under the pretext of caring about his health, they came to the Li family to look for someone.

It was lunchtime when they arrived. They had assumed Tao Rui would be home, but he had gone to the company to deliver food and was even taking a nap with Li Jiaxuan. It took a long time for him to return. They were almost out of topics to talk about, and they were filled with impatience.

So when Tao's father saw Tao Rui, he scolded him, "Why did you take so long to come back? You left the old man home alone."

Tao Rui handed the lunch box to the servant, looking puzzled: "Aren't there so many people at home?"

There are more than a dozen servants in the house, and I can see four or five of them at a glance. Where did this person come from?

Stepmother Jiang Li said, "You are so ignorant, how can it be the same? Elders like to be accompanied by their juniors. I heard that you are also hiding in the studio painting at home? Oh, how boring it is for the old man. How about... old man, let his younger brother Mu Jiang come to accompany you more often?"
