So she didn't want to kiss him after all!
Huo Chenyu's face flushed as he realized he had misunderstood.
He had to admit that if Tang Li got even a little closer to him, he would be captivated by her unwitting allure.
"I've told you before, you're very strong in the business world, but I'm not weak in areas you don't know."
Back then, Tang Li was one of the most prominent young talents.
The older generation were all tough and strong.
Therefore, they ranked the younger generation, and Huo Chenyu was undoubtedly the number one.
After Tang Lixun, it was only because she was a woman.
Deeply ingrained in Chinese culture, women are often viewed with prejudice in certain areas, appearing inferior to men.
You are strong, but I am not weak either.
In short, it's like a dream of returning to the time when we were in love.
Huo Chenyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly woke up.
Yes, Tang Li had already told him about her lofty ambitions. He stubbornly believed that loving someone meant keeping her hidden in the world, protecting her behind him, shielding her from the vicissitudes of life and the storms of life.
Two people, walking one in front of the other, see completely different scenery.
Only by working together can we go further.
"Lili, I'm sorry."
As Tang Li approached, Huo Chenyu nervously hugged her.
Afraid that she would resist, the hug lasted only half a second. Huo Chenyu was about to let go when he felt Tang Li's hand gently stroking his back.
He coaxed him like a child, saying:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a sore loser. Life can't always be smooth sailing. Besides, I will definitely win beautifully while ensuring my safety."
Huo Chenyu suddenly understood.
He gently released Tang Li, cupped her face in his hands, and said:
“You’re right. It’s not like we can’t afford to lose. Don’t worry, no matter what, I’ll be by your side and always stand by your side.”
yes.
This is the right way to connect with your other half.
I don't want you to stand in front of me and shelter me from the wind and rain.
I do not want you to hide behind me, to shield me from the light.
I want us to be together, side by side, hand in hand, walking together.
From now on, we will weather the storms together and share both glory and hardship.
Tang Li felt a warm current spread throughout her body. The distance between them was so close that she had the illusion that Huo Chenyu would kiss her at any moment.
But after a long time, Huo Chenyu still did not make any further progress.
Then Huo Chenyu stood up:
"Get some rest, goodnight."
If he didn't create some distance between them, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist kissing her.
Having finally managed to open Tang Li's heart, he didn't want to be kicked out by Tang Li at this moment.
After Huo Chenyu left, Tang Li felt a strange sense of loss.
However, she quickly adjusted her emotions and state of mind.
She had initially worried that Han Ruoling might be someone of great importance, but now that she knew Han Ruoling's background, she felt much more at ease.
In addition, tonight was the first effective conversation between Tang Li and Huo Chenyu since the divorce, which made Tang Li feel great. Before going to bed, she couldn't help but smile, and even her dreams were much more relaxed.
Huo Chenyu stood at the door of the ward for a long time until Jiang Mian came over and gently poked his arm. Only then did he come back to his senses, but he was already in tears.
Seeing this, Jiang Mian asked timidly:
"Boss, what's wrong with you...?"
It seems he's run into a wall with the lady again.
I reckon the injury is quite serious.
Logically speaking, Jiang Mian should have run away at this point, after all, there are many things in life, and the prize money comes first.
But considering their years of relationship, Jiang Mian felt that running away at this moment would be too unrighteous.
So, risking having his bonus withheld, he comforted Huo Chenyu:
"Don't be discouraged, your wife will come back to you one day."
Huo Chenyu previously thought that it was a shameful thing for a man to shed tears.
It's especially embarrassing if someone finds out.
But tonight, he happily patted Jiang Mian on the shoulder and excitedly said:
"Go to the company tomorrow and tell the finance department that starting this month, your salary will be doubled, your bonus will be doubled, and your year-end bonus will also be doubled."
Doubled?
Isn't it a deduction from my bonus?
Would such a huge windfall really fall from the sky?
Jiang Mian stood there, stunned, for a long time before she came to her senses.
Such good fortune only happened when Huo Chenyu had just gotten married; after that, his monthly income steadily declined.
Now, suddenly, they are favored by the gods...
By the time Jiang Mian came to her senses, Huo Chenyu had already returned to the ward.
Even though it's like a pie falling from the sky, but...
Jiang Mian hurriedly chased after him:
"Boss, didn't you already..."
Has he resigned from his position as president of the Huo Group?
We can't exactly send him to Songnan Prefecture to take up a temporary post and receive double the salary, bonuses, and year-end bonus, can we?
After Huo Chenyu returned to his room, he stood by the window, holding his phone, and gestured for Jiang Mian to remain silent.
After the call connected, Huo Chenyu said only one thing:
"Starting tomorrow, I will go back to work at the company."
The Huo family.
Huo Yishen, who had just woken up from a dream and finished answering a phone call, nudged Wei Chaoyu beside him:
"Honey, I think I'm sick."
Is it because you're sick in the middle of the night?
Wei Chaoyu groggily opened her eyes and placed her hand on Huo Yishen's forehead:
"It seems a little hot."
Huo Yishen grasped her hand:
"I'm burning up because I'm so excited. I just had a dream that Shen Yu said he was going back to work at the company?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chaoyu immediately sobered up.
When they saw that Huo Yishen's phone had received a call, the couple were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.
