Chapter 60 Balance

Du Ruo walked up to Yuan Tingchuan and interrupted his thoughts.

She looked at Yuan Tingchuan and said, "Are you really not going to tell me what happened?"

Yuan Tingchuan smiled: "Can you tell me what happened between you and Ling Yun?"

Du Ruo was silent. She really couldn't say this. This was an unspoken secret between her and Ling Yun and could not be told to anyone else.

There was a glimmer of disappointment in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. He really couldn't figure out the relationship between Du Ruo and Ling Yun from the surface.

In fact, there is nothing he cannot say about his own affairs, but Yuan Tingchuan just doesn't want to speak now.

After their last separation, Yuan Tingchuan still trusted Du Ruo's sixth sense, and he always carried Du Ruo's jade carving of fortune, wealth and longevity with him.

Last week he was going to attend a banquet and changed his clothes temporarily in the company's locker room.

After getting in the car, he realized that he didn't bring the jade pendant. Thinking of the beautiful woman's clear and cool eyes, Yuan Tingchuan let his emotions override his reason for the first time.

After checking the time, Yuan Tingchuan realized that they were about to be late, so he told his secretary to go first while he took the car behind to get his things.

Although he escaped the disaster by some strange coincidence, the secretary in the car was seriously injured and would probably have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

The results of the investigation were soon placed on Yuan Tingchuan's desk.

Yuan Tingchuan has always been efficient and effective in his work. His second uncle and his two cousins ​​are now on their way to Africa.

That night, Yuan Tingchuan sat in the study, looking at the jade pendant in his hand, quietly savoring the throbbing in his heart.

He never tried to like someone. He didn't have the time, the energy, or he had never met that person.

Looking at Du Ruo's delicate outline hidden in the night, her slender figure seemed like she would fall down with a gust of wind.

Yuan Tingchuan knew in his heart that it was all an illusion.

This woman hidden in the night is as tall and straight as a strong grass. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, or whether there are lightning and thunder, she remains strong.

This is a resilient woman, but also one who is not easily moved.

What's more, the beginning of the two people's relationship was not so simple...

Seeing that Yuan Tingchuan was unwilling to say, Du Ruo did not force him. After all, he was just a little curious, and since the other person was not convenient to say it, he just let it go.

Yuan Tingchuan asked, "What are your plans for this trade fair in Myanmar?"

Du Ruo said, "I want to open my jade city, but the jade I have is far from enough. I will go to this trade fair."

Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "It seems that you don't plan to cooperate with me anymore?"

Du Ruo shrugged: "I want to go with the big guy."

She had been there before. The security there was very bad. That time she went there with Ling Yun, and they both almost didn't come back. It was really dangerous for her to go there alone.

Yuan Tingchuan said disapprovingly: "The situation there is very complicated and it is a lawless place. It is not safe for the two of you to go there alone. You should come with me. I go there often and I am familiar with the roads and people. Don't be willful."

Du Ruo said readily, "Okay."

There is not so much hypocrisy in the adult world. Since she can achieve her goal safely, why not do it?

Yuan Tingchuan couldn't help but stroke her hair with his hand, saying softly, "Go to bed early."

Du Ruo's body stiffened. She turned her head to look at Yuan Tingchuan. The handsome face of the man half hidden in the darkness had clear outlines. His tall and straight figure was like a mountain. His hot palm brushed the ends of her hair. Creed Tabarome Millesime, a calm, mature and elegant fragrance, slowly surrounded her...

Three days later, Chen Saozi's distant aunt Yu Min was brought to Du Ruo's home.

Du Ruo took a liking to her as soon as they met. Her hands and cheeks were rough, but she looked very neat and tidy.

It's not just clean on the surface, but clean even in the details, which is not easy to achieve in this day and age.

There was no bitterness or resentment on her face, nor was there any anxiety. Her eyes were calm. "I am a homeless person. People say that I am unlucky. If you don't mind, you can take me in and give me a meal. I have no other requests."

Du Ruo said, "I'll give you 100 yuan a month. As the market outside goes up, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included. If you work here for more than ten years, I'll give you a retirement pension to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in your later years. The premise is that you help me take good care of Han Zhe."

There was a glimmer of surprise in Yu Min's eyes. One hundred yuan a month was one thousand two hundred yuan a year. Even if Du Ruo's promise of retirement could not be realized, she would have enough money to buy a small house in a few years and settle down. In this big world, she would not be without a place to stay.

Yu Min said happily: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, I will do my best. If there is anything I did not do well, please tell me and I will change it."

Du Ruo said, "Okay, let's just stay like this. I'll find a nanny in the next two days and she'll take care of the cleaning and other things. You just help me take care of Xiaozhe."

Yu Min cherished the job opportunity in the Du family very much. She treated Xiaozhe very attentively. Within a few days, Xiaozhe became very familiar with her and called her Aunt Yu affectionately.

Yu Min felt more and more at ease as she stayed there. Du Ruo was a quiet person and her children were well-behaved. She always felt that she was taking advantage of others and was busy every day.

These days, Du Ruo was guarding her jadeite in the workshop, and Yuan Tingchuan was also with her in the workshop. He also drew two design drawings for Du Ruo, which made Du Ruo look at him with admiration.

The design is unique and unconventional. The best part is that it fits perfectly with the raw material of jade. Du Ruo couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

She had been in contact with Yuan Tingchuan a lot these days, and she really admired him. He was elegant, steady, and knowledgeable. Du Ruo learned a lot from Yuan Tingchuan, including finance, stocks, art design, and antique collection. There was nothing this man didn't know, and Du Ruo benefited a lot.

Yuan Tingchuan has always admired Du Ruo's works, which are novel and unique, neither flattering nor vulgar. What is even more rare is that they can make people feel a kind of power and a tenacious vitality.

The days passed by slowly and leisurely, giving us a sense of "stealing a little time to relax from busy life", which made us both feel relaxed.

Yuan Tingchuan did not mention what happened that day again, and Du Ruo just regarded him as a good friend. The two of them maintained this balance tacitly.

This rare balance was broken in the early morning of one day.

There was a hurried knock on Du Ruo's door. The person knocking was very anxious, even a little crazy.

As soon as Du Ruo opened the door, she saw the entire Han family standing outside the gate. When they saw her open the door, they rushed in without caring about anything.

Yuan Tingchuan stood behind Du Ruo. Seeing that Du Ruo was almost pushed down, he half-hugged Du Ruo in his arms and kicked away Han's mother who had come up to him.
