Du Ruo walked 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 had no way to explain this. This was an unspoken secret between her and Ling Yun, and she could not tell it to anyone else.
A hint of disappointment flashed across 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 Fu Lu Shou with him.
Last week he was going to attend a banquet and changed his clothes in the company's locker room.
After getting in the car, he realized that he had not brought the jade pendant. Thinking of the beautiful woman's clear and beautiful eyes, Yuan Tingchuan let his emotions override his reason for the first time.
After checking the time, Yuan Tingchuan realized that he was going to be late, so he told his secretary to go ahead and he took the car behind to get his things.
Although he escaped the disaster by chance, the secretary in the car was seriously injured and will 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 decisive 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 has never tried to like someone. He doesn't have the time or energy, or he has never met that person.
Looking at Du Ruo's delicate outline hidden in the night, her slender figure seemed like it 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 how loud the lightning and thunder are, she remains as strong as ever.
This is a tenacious woman, and also a woman 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. If it was inconvenient for him to say it, then forget it.
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 jadeite I have is far from enough. I will go to this trade fair."
Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "It seems 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 both of them almost didn't come back. It was indeed very dangerous for her to go there alone.
Yuan Tingchuan disapproved and said, "The situation there is very complicated. It's a lawless place. It's not safe for the two of you to go there. You should come with me. I go there often. I know the roads and the people well. Don't act willfully."
Du Ruo said readily, "Okay."
There is no need for so much pretentiousness in the adult world. Since she can achieve her goal safely, why not do it?
Yuan Tingchuan couldn't help but reach out and stroke her hair, saying softly, "Go to bed early."
Du Ruo's body stiffened. She turned to look at Yuan Tingchuan. The man's handsome face, half hidden in the darkness, was clearly outlined. His tall and straight figure was like a mountain. His hot palm brushed the ends of her hair. The calm, mature and elegant fragrance of Creed Tabarome Millesime slowly enveloped 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, the details are also clean, which is not easy to achieve in this era.
Her face showed no bitterness or resentment, nor was she uneasy. Her eyes were calm. "I'm a homeless person. People say I'm unlucky. If you don't mind, and can take me in and give me something to eat, that's all I ask for."
Du Ruo said: "I will 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 will give you a retirement pension to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in your later years. The premise is that you help me take good care of Han Zhe."
A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Min's eyes. One hundred yuan a month is one thousand two hundred yuan a year. Even if Du Ruo's promise of retirement cannot be realized, she can earn enough money to buy a small house after working for a few years. Then she can settle down and have a home. In this big world, she will never be without a place to stay.
Yu Min said happily, "Don't worry, Mr. Du, I will do my best. If there's anything I haven't done well, please tell me and I'll 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 be responsible for cleaning and other things. You just help me take care of Xiaozhe."
Yu Min cherished the job opportunity at the Du family very much. She treated Xiaozhe very wholeheartedly. In just a few days, Xiaozhe became very familiar with her and affectionately called her Aunt Yu.
Yu Min felt more and more at ease the longer she stayed there. Du Ruo was a quiet person and her child was well-behaved. She always felt that she was taking advantage of her 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 helped Du Ruo draw two design drawings, 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 jade raw material. Du Ruo couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
She had been spending more time with Yuan Tingchuan these past few days, and she truly admired him. Elegant, steady, and knowledgeable, Du Ruo had learned a great deal from him, covering finance, stocks, art design, and antique collecting. There was nothing this man didn't know, and Du Ruo benefited greatly from it.
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 tenacious vitality.
The days passed by slowly and leisurely, and there was a sense of leisurely "stealing half a day of leisure from the busy life", which made both of them feel relaxed.
Yuan Tingchuan did not mention what happened that day again, and Du Ruo just regarded him as a good friend. They both maintained this balance tacitly.
This rare balance was broken in the early morning of one day.
There was a hurried knock on the door of Du Ruo's house. 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 regardless of 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 Han's mother away.
