Chapter 179
"I have to work tomorrow, so I can only take one person. You two can decide who I'll take when you get home tonight," Ling Wu said calmly.
The two little devils don't understand the meaning of humility. Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause tonight? It'll also be a good opportunity for He Cheng to see his two well-behaved children.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, one with a calm expression and the other with a sweet smile.
But his eyes were filled with darkness.
Once in the car, He Tingyao asked, "Mom, why do I have to go to work now? Dad has money!"
Ling Wu drove without looking back, the car windows were tightly closed, and even her soft voice could be clearly heard by the two of them.
"Because I will be leaving once your biological mother returns."
"Where are you going?" He Tinglan's eyes darkened slightly.
“This is not something you children should know.” Ling Wu’s red lips curled slightly.
However, He Tinglan, sitting in the back seat, clenched her fist because of the words "you kids".
He can learn knowledge in advance, but when it comes to growing up, he can only leave it to fate.
He Tingyao fell silent, her eyes flickering as she looked out the car window.
If the biological mother comes back, the mother will leave...
Then she shouldn't come back.
They remained silent the entire way.
Back home, He Cheng smiled as he put on an apron, pointing to the plates of thick, mushy stir-fried vegetables on the table.
"I've put the kitchen on holiday. These are what I made. Why don't you try them?" he tentatively suggested.
Previously, Bei Banban always praised his cooking skills, which gave him confidence in his culinary abilities.
But every time, Bei Banban would refuse to let him cook, citing "I don't want him to be too tired".
Ling Wu would never mistreat her stomach, especially not this table full of mushy, oddly shaped, yet utterly disgusting dishes.
“If you want a divorce, you can just say so. You don’t need to force me with this.”
Ling Wu's long hair was tied up with a hair tie today, and as she turned to leave, it drew an arc in the air.
He Cheng reached out to stop her, but found that he couldn't touch the resolute woman who was leaving.
"No, let me explain. I just want to do something to make you forgive me," He Cheng said, filled with remorse.
Ling Wu paused slightly, turned around, and said, "This isn't seeking forgiveness; it's self-righteous gratitude."
“Mr. He, if you really want to do something to gain my forgiveness, then you should find out my preferences before doing anything. These tastes... should be Miss Bei’s preferences.”
Duan Lingwu likes spicy and sweet flavors, and her tastes are quite strong. You can barely tell what kind of cuisine this table of food is made of, and you can't even see a trace of chili peppers.
After saying that, Ling Wu turned and left. This time, no matter what Ren Hecheng said, he still couldn't win her back.
This second time in his life that he experienced such a sense of defeat plunged him into self-doubt.
"Jiang Du, am I really that arrogant?"
"Hmm." Jiang Du didn't mince words.
He Cheng sat in the chair, disheartened, but soon raised his head again, full of fighting spirit.
"Jiang Du, go to Xing Lan and get that set of Enchanting Beauty, and a few more of the others."
"Sir, that 'Exquisite Beauty' set was ordered last night."
"It's booked?"
Jiang Du lowered his eyes with a hint of a smile, "Yes, I heard that it was Xinglan's chief designer who personally delivered it to our door."
And he personally opened the door to greet me late last night.
The designer asked if he could see the lady, as he had a new inspiration that came from her. However, the lady always slept soundly and could not be disturbed, so he politely declined.
However, at his wife's prior instruction, he arranged a time to meet with her.
The meeting place was the Duan Group.
He Cheng didn't doubt it, but frowned. "Go try to contact them. If you can't, someone from Xinglan will come to your door tomorrow to customize it for you on the spot. Also, go and deliver the Queen's Heart set and the Thorn Forest set that we bought at the last auction to you."
The Queen's Heart is a ruby necklace with a classic design, but its value lies in the fact that it has been owned by several queens.
Its symbolic status and power are self-evident.
The Thorn Forest earrings are a pair of silver clips, resembling thorns yet exquisitely elegant. A ruby is set at the top of the thorn on the left, and another is set at the bottom of the right.
Aside from its high cost, this is nothing special, but it goes very well with the necklace.
Jiang Du bowed. "Yes, sir, I will personally deliver it to Madam."
The word "Madam" inexplicably exuded gentleness, which made He Cheng feel strange.
Fortunately, Jiang Du always hid his emotions well; his cold expression and indifferent eyes dispelled He Cheng's doubts.
Jiang Du has been by his side for many years, and he trusts him.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it is difficult to eradicate. However, by then, it will no longer be up to him to decide whether Jiang Du stays or leaves.
After Ling Wu finished her meal at Li Zhenzhen's restaurant, Li Zhenzhen said, with a hint of grievance, that He Cheng had kicked her out.
After comforting her, Ling Wu returned to the He family home with the hospital report.
She placed the list in front of He Cheng, whose face was red from being choked by chili peppers.
"I'm trying to cook your favorite dishes..."
“Zhenzhen is knowledgeable in pharmacology and knows how to cook spicy dishes so that I can eat them.” After saying that, Lingwu pointed to the medical examination form on the table. “My stomach is not very good. If Mr. He really wants to make a dish himself, he might as well learn some pharmacology from Zhenzhen first.”
He Cheng picked up the medical examination report, and his original confidence slowly crumbled.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." His tall, 1.8-meter frame looked like a child who had made a mistake, with his head hanging in self-reproach.
Just as his sense of frustration was rising again, he heard the woman in front of him chuckle softly, and a strange feeling of tension arose in his heart.
Does her smiling mean she's not angry?
Just then, a sound of glass shattering came from upstairs!
Ling Wu shifted her gaze from his hands, which were red and swollen from the chili peppers, and looked up at the sound.
Two little devils.
