Chapter 104: Do This Couple Still Have Love?

After sending off the group from the Second Branch, Bai Shuruo returned to the sofa and let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Han Yangting couldn't help but come over, put his arms around her, and ask, "Are you that tired?"

Bai Shuruo looked at Han Yangting and said honestly, "The people from the Second Branch are not like the people on your side. Although they are enthusiastic, I always feel that people's hearts are hidden behind their skin. I... don't really like them."

Han Yangting stroked her face: "I know. Just have less contact with them in the future. If it's truly unavoidable, then just keep your distance from them."

Bai Shuruo nodded, then leaned against Han Yangting's shoulder of her own accord.

Han Yangting stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead.

"It's almost noon. What do you want to eat?"

Bai Shuruo had eaten too much for breakfast and really had no appetite now, so she said, "I don't want to eat. I want to go out for a walk."

"I'll take you."

……

Number Two Castle.

72-year-old Han Jinbu and Han Chunqiu stood in a corner of the castle, using binoculars to watch Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo walking in the Manor.

Han Yangting was holding Bai Shuruo's hand, touching her head from time to time.

Han Jinbu had never seen Han Yangting be so affectionate with anyone before.

After watching for a while, Han Jinbu said, "In your opinion, how does this Han Yangting feel about Bai Shuruo?"

In front of his old father, Han Chunqiu reverted to that timid and submissive manner: "I think... it's quite good."

Han Jinbu frowned: "You had better go and investigate why this Han Yangting wants to marry this woman, why out of so many women in the city he insists on marrying her, and whether this woman is Han Yangting's Achilles' heel."

"Understood."

……

In the evening, Han Weimin and Ye Caiyue also returned.

Along with Han Dongbei, who had been following Ye Caiyue lately.

While eating, Ye Caiyue first asked about the situation today. Upon learning that the people from the Second Branch had been there, Ye Caiying said, "Han Chunqiu has been pulling a lot of strings behind our backs recently, making the group very passive in some matters. They think I don't know. In short, we need to be on guard against the people from the Second Branch."

Bai Shuruo realized that the power dynamics in such a large family were not simple, and she looked at Han Yangting with sympathy.

Being able to live in such a large Castle, the enterprise behind him must be huge, and there must be many things to worry about, yet he never told her about these troublesome matters.

Han Dongbei couldn't help but say, "Since the Second Branch is against us, why not just split the family? Based on everyone's shareholdings, give them a subsidiary company and let them fend for themselves. The Manor can also be divided into two, with everyone taking one part."

Bai Shuruo also felt that made sense, but she didn't dare to speak up; subconsciously, she still felt like an outsider.

Ye Caiyue looked at Han Dongbei with disdain: "What do you know? All the companies are connected as one; none of them can be divided! Besides, they don't have many shares, so why should we cede them? Even if I were willing to give them, they wouldn't be able to manage them. They just want to cling to us."

Han Dongbei: "..."

Bai Shuruo was also glad she hadn't spoken up. She didn't have a deep understanding of this aspect and would have to learn more from Han Yangting in the future.

Han Dongbei said while eating, "Caiyue, if you're really busy, just arrange a position for me in the company. I've been wandering around the company for a few days recently and know quite a bit. I should be able to help you with some things."

Ye Caiyue looked at him with a disdainful gaze again: "No position in the company supports idlers. It requires drive and youth. You are old and haven't had any contact with these things before."

Han Dongbei was unconvinced: "What's wrong with being old? The founder of KFC didn't start KFC until he was over 70."

Ye Caiyue said, "Then you go start one too. The family can provide you with startup capital."

"The family has an enterprise, why would I go start a business..." Han Dongbei said, "You're just treating me like a burden."

"Fine, tomorrow I'll arrange for you to be an administrator in the parking lot, managing the vehicles entering and exiting."

"Just that? I went to the company today to look around. Doesn't your printing room need people? I saw only one young girl working there, with a pile of documents every day."

Ye Caiyue rolled her eyes at him: "Taken a fancy to the young girl, have you? Fine, you go to work tomorrow."

"I didn't, sigh... forget it, the parking lot it is," Han Dongbei said.

Listening to them bickering, Bai Shuruo always felt that this couple was flirting.

Perhaps Ye Caiyue still liked Han Dongbei?

But looking at Ye Caiyue's attitude, Han Dongbei's path to winning his wife back certainly wouldn't be smooth. Ye Caiyue had been hard-hearted for so many years and it was already good enough that she hadn't remarried; how could she easily accept him?

……

Car Exhibition Center.

Today's event had ended, and Bai Shunan was organizing the contracts.

Another dealer had signed a contract with her today, so she was very happy now.

Just as she was packing up to return to the hotel, Ling Feng arrived.

Ling Feng was wearing a green tracksuit identical to the one worn by Wu Jing today. If it were anyone else, it would probably look very tacky, but because his skin was fair and he was tall, it actually made him look even more sunny.

Of course, also a bit flashy.

Ling Feng was carrying a three-tiered thermal lunch box. After arriving, he pushed the lunch box in front of Bai Shunan.

"Why are you bringing me food? I can eat when I get back to the hotel in a while," Bai Shunan smiled.

Ling Feng sat in front of her and said proudly, "This isn't ordinary food; my mom made it."

"Your mom?" Bai Shunan looked at Ling Feng meaningfully.

"I told her that a friend was still working overtime, so she asked me to bring you some food while I was at it. Don't worry, it's not to make you her daughter-in-law, you can eat it with peace of mind. I, Ling Feng, wouldn't use a meal to hold you hostage, right?"

Only then did Bai Shunan relax and smile: "Then thank you to your aunt. I am indeed hungry now."

She had only gnawed on a piece of bread before coming today, and had ordered a boxed lunch inside the exhibition center at noon, but hadn't had time to eat it, and afterwards, she couldn't even remember if she had eaten.

Now seeing Ling Feng take out the steaming hot food, she wished she could swallow it all in one bite.

It was indeed home-cooked food: shredded pork stir-fried with green and red peppers, pork ribs stewed with lotus root, and a bowl of rice with plump grains.

Bai Shunan first took a sip of the soup; it was piping hot and very warming to the stomach.

Then, while eating, she asked, "Your mother cooks herself?"

Ling Feng subconsciously put his hand into his pocket and then said, "She doesn't do it often, it depends on her mood."

Bai Shunan said, "Yesterday Ruoruo sent me photos of Han Yangting's home. Goodness, Brother Han actually lives in a Castle. You and Brother Han are good friends; as the saying goes, 'near vermilion, one gets stained red.' Rich kids hang out with rich kids—doesn't your family live in a castle too?"

"That's not the case. My family isn't that extravagant; it's just an ordinary courtyard."

Bai Shunan knew what an ordinary courtyard in Beishi meant, so she said, "That's still richer than me, you wealthy young master. Then how did you two get to know each other back then?"

"Our parents were quite close, and later we went abroad to study together, so naturally we became close."

Bai Shunan nodded, "So that's how it is."

Ling Feng couldn't help but say, "If you're interested in my family, why not come over to my place and hang out?"

Bai Shunan shoveled another mouthful of rice: "No, time doesn't permit it. Once this auto show is over, we have to rush back to Fengcheng to coordinate production matters; we can't afford to delay even a minute."

Because Bai Shunan was eating in a hurry, a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth, and Ling Feng hurriedly reached out to help her remove it.

"Eat slowly, it's not like we're running out," Ling Feng said.

Afterward, he flicked that grain of rice into the trash can nearby.

It was at this moment that Bai Shunan saw the adhesive bandage wrapped around his index finger.
