Yun Hao wasn't in a hurry. He freshened up in Chu Yan's bathroom, then sat on the bed in his pajamas and called Chu Yan.
"Hey, darling wife, where are you? Still at the office? You're the CEO, why work so hard? How about I come over and bring you some midnight snacks?" After hanging up, Yun Hao got dressed and left. His wife was working too hard, staying late at the office despite being the CEO. Was it really necessary to push herself so much?
Since it was already midnight, Yun Hao arrived at the company in less than half an hour. When he reached the thirteenth floor, he directly pushed open Chu Yan's office door.
Hearing the sound, Chu Yan looked up, and upon seeing it was Yun Hao, she focused back on reviewing the documents.
"Darling wife, you're working too hard. Can't you leave some of it for tomorrow?" Seeing how focused Chu Yan was, Yun Hao felt a bit pained. He stood behind her, gently massaging her shoulders in a caring manner.
"I can't help it. Recently, due to the Nangong Family's affair, many companies are vying to do business with us, even though their ultimate goal is to get close to the Nangong Family. And the lawsuit with Fu Jiajun is at a critical point. There's news today that Fu Jiajun wants to reconcile and settle out of court. I've been so busy I haven't had time to handle it!"
Chu Yan pinched her brow and leaned back against Yun Hao's body, speaking somewhat wearily.
"Then, darling, let's not overwork ourselves. Too much business isn't necessarily good. Look, it's almost one o'clock. What kind of CEO stays at the company working so late? As for the Fu Jiajun matter, you can resolve it any way you like!" Yun Hao spoke as he showed Chu Yan the time displayed on his phone.
"You're right. Regarding the Fu Family, I plan to agree to their request for a private settlement!" Chu Yan nodded, then continued, "By the way, didn't you say you'd bring me some midnight snacks? Where are they?"
"What midnight snacks? I'm taking you out to eat. Come on, let's call it a day!" After saying this, Yun Hao didn't care whether Chu Yan agreed or not and took her hand, pulling her away forcefully!
"You're so assertive, bringing me to a place like this without my consent!" Looking at the various snack stalls lining the street, although Chu Yan said she didn't want to, her honest body betrayed her feelings, especially those eyes glistening brightly.
"Darling wife, it's my fault this time. Please forgive me. After we eat, you can scold me all you want, okay?" Yun Hao, grinning, held Chu Yan's hand as they sat down. He ordered a bunch of snacks and kept staring at Chu Yan while waiting.
"Oh, stop looking at me. Didn't you say you'd be away for over five days? It's only been two, and you're back already?" Chu Yan couldn't stand Yun Hao's gaze. Who stares like that without knowing the world has a word called shy?
"I was afraid my darling wife might run away with another man if I came back late. How can I not keep a closer eye on such a beautiful wife?" Yun Hao didn't plan to mention the matter with Tank but responded with a playful remark instead.
"Is that what you think of me?"
"How could I? I'm just worried about those pesky flies hounding you all the time. Now that your Flower Guardian is back, it's different. A fly comes, and I swat it!" Just then, the food was served, a perfect opportunity to stop Chu Yan's complaints.
"Darling wife, I've noticed you're getting more and more considerate of me, even willing to have midnight snacks with me!" Yun Hao spoke sincerely. Although it might be that Chu Yan was a bit hungry this time, previously, she would never come out to have snacks with him.
"Who told you to be so well-behaved!" As Chu Yan spoke, she used her oily hand to touch Yun Hao's face, then giggled, "Besides, it's been a long time since I've had this feeling of being with family. Although I don't love you yet, at least I don't find you annoying!"
Family? Yun Hao was stunned for a moment, then a trace of conviction flashed in his eyes. After finishing their food, he escorted Chu Yan to the villa door but chose not to go inside.
"Aren't you coming in? Do you still have something to do?" Seeing Yun Hao didn't come in, Chu Yan felt a twinge of sadness, wanting Yun Hao to accompany her inside!
"Yeah, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. Darling wife, go ahead. I'll be back soon!" Yun Hao waved, and after Chu Yan entered the villa, he drove straight towards the airport!
The only thought in Yun Hao's mind was that nothing could happen to Tank. He really hated himself for not asking clearly at the time. Even if Tank knew about his strange ailment, so what? Didn't their numerous life-and-death experiences mean he was worth trusting?
Even Chu Yan, who initially didn't have a favorable view of him, had come to trust him. There was even less reason not to trust Tank!
At that moment, Yun Hao's phone rang. It was Liu Mengqi.
"Yun Hao, I remembered something. Don't get mad, okay? I recall that once when you had an episode, Tank might have seen it. But nobody mentioned it later, so I forgot. Is there something going on over there?"
"It's nothing. I can handle it. Be careful on your end!" After hanging up, Yun Hao's suspicions deepened. Tank must have discovered something and wanted him to deal with it by having him return first.
And knowing Tank's personality, this matter could be very dangerous, dangerous enough that if Yun Hao stayed, he might lose his life.
He blamed himself for being so stubborn. Why did he stop trusting Tank just because of a few words from Uncle Second?
What Yun Hao didn't realize was that this was his greatest flaw: not easily trusting others from a young age.
"Master, I've found out that the so-called Uncle Second has been dead for a long time, and the one you and Tank encountered was an imposter!" When Yun Hao reached the airport, Shadow appeared beside him, clad in black, and said.
"I see. I should go first. Hopefully, there's still time!" Yun Hao nodded and went to buy a ticket.
"Master, I'd like to go with you!"
"No need. I'll be fine. Even if something happens, it's my business!" Yun Hao directly refused Shadow's proposal.
"But..."
"No buts, that's an order. You don't belong in this life!" Yun Hao left these words, then turned around to buy a ticket!
