Chapter 146: Will You Bite Me?

"I'm doing quite well. I rested at home for a while, and the people who kidnapped me have also received the punishment they deserve," Bai Shuruo said, appearing as if nothing had happened.

She added, "That day, I was very grateful for your protection."

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she did, Meng Ze's expression darkened. He said self-deprecatingly, "How could I have protected you? I couldn't do anything at all."

"If it weren't for you, I would have been scared to death," Bai Shuruo said sincerely. "Besides, you and I only have a superior-subordinate relationship. In such a dangerous situation, you didn't abandon me, which shows that you are a very loyal and righteous person."

"Loyal and righteous, yet still no match for how capable your husband is. He descended from the heavens at the moment you needed him most. In that instant, didn't you think he was the Great Sage coming on colorful auspicious clouds?"

"Yes... a little bit." Bai Shuruo could not hide her admiration for Han Yangting.

"He is so formidable; by comparison, I am like a clown, only able to worry in vain," Meng Ze said.

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but ask, "Meng Ze, you haven't gone to work at the company for a while, you aren't repairing phones, and you aren't in contact with anyone. Is it because you are blaming yourself for this matter? Or is it that you don't want to work at the company anymore? Are you thinking of changing jobs again?"

Meng Ze's long, thick eyelashes flickered as he looked at her again.

"Is it because of the former?"

Meng Ze's expression was one of silent admission.

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but say, "Actually, I understand how you feel, but you must not deny your own abilities. My husband is the type of person who starts from a very high point; he was born with things we couldn't possess even after struggling for a lifetime, so he must have such powerful capabilities. But for children from ordinary families like us, it is already good enough to live our own lives well. First, live your own life well, and when you have the spare capacity to help others, that is being a good person. In that situation, you never left my side, which is already very rare. I am very grateful. Meng Ze, do you understand what I mean?"

She said a lot, feeling that she had expressed herself very clearly.

Meng Ze naturally understood what she meant. He smiled, "Thank you for your understanding. You really are a kind person, even knowing how to give me a 'good person card'."

"This isn't kindness; it's just speaking the truth," Bai Shuruo smiled.

She added, "Meng Ze, how about I buy you a phone as compensation?"

"No need. It's not like I don't have the money to buy a phone; I just don't want to buy one."

"Then when will you return to the company to work? I am still the Vice President of the company in name, but I definitely won't be doing the same work as before. My abilities aren't enough, and you wouldn't learn anything following me. How about you change to a different position? Or this position is fine too, but you would be working under my husband."

Meng Ze said, "Either is fine for me, as long as I have a job."

"Alright, then I'll go back and discuss it with my husband. I will definitely put you in a position that is most suitable for you," Bai Shuruo said.

By the time they finished chatting, her milk tea was finished as well.

Meng Ze asked, "Are you going back?"

"Yes, I've been out for a while. If I don't go back, my husband will call to urge me again. After that incident, he is especially worried about me being outside alone."

"Shall I see you off?"

"No need, I have someone with me," Bai Shuruo said.

"Someone?" Meng Ze didn't know at the time.

When Bai Shuruo stood up and he saw a man two tables away also stand up, he understood instantly.

"So you've brought a bodyguard?" he smiled enviously, then said, "Wealthy families are indeed different."

"Mm, my family insisted that I bring him, otherwise they wouldn't let me come out," Bai Shuruo said.

She felt that she was being particularly 'Versailles' saying this, but it was also the truth.

Bai Shuruo had originally intended to go home, but after getting into the car, she saw a mobile phone shop across the street. She couldn't help but tell the driver to stop, then got out and walked into the shop.

She knew that if she wanted to give Meng Ze a phone, he definitely wouldn't accept it.

However, if she didn't give something, there was no way to express her gratitude.

She had to make some kind of gesture.

She had the clerk take out the newest and most expensive phone, didn't ask any more questions, swiped her card directly, and then walked toward Meng Ze's home.

The reason she walked was because his home was inside a hutong, which was difficult for a car to enter.

From far away, Bai Shuruo heard the sound of arguing coming from inside the hutong.

Listening carefully, it was coming from Meng Ze's home.

Was he arguing with his grandfather?

Bai Shuruo had some trouble understanding the Beijing dialect, so she didn't know what they were arguing about, only that it was very fierce, and there seemed to be the sound of a stool being thrown.

At this time, should she go in?

Bai Shuruo stood outside for a while. Just then, an auntie passed by and asked her, "Girl, are you here to repair an appliance, or are you looking for Little Ze?"

"I... repair, repair an appliance," Bai Shuruo said.

The auntie said, "Then you'd better come back later. Those two grandfather and grandson don't stop arguing for half a day once they start. Honestly, these two are clearly family, so why do they live like enemies every day?"

"Do they argue often?" Bai Shuruo asked.

The auntie said, "You bet. Sigh, this Lao Mengtou is really something; he's beaten the child since he was small, beaten him to death, and he still beats him now that he's grown. This boy is actually someone you have to coax; it's no wonder they've become enemies with him beating him like this all day. Sigh, why am I telling you this? Go back, don't worry about it."

Meng Ze is beaten often?

So when he said his grandfather was a rotten old man, it was true?

Bai Shuruo glanced at the phone in her hand.

Forget it, she would wait for another opportunity to give it to him.

Bai Shuruo returned to the Castle.

Before she even entered the Manor, she saw Han Yangting waiting for her on the lawn.

Han Yangting himself had just recovered from a major illness, so his energy was not what it used to be. Moreover, having lain down for so long, he had lost a circle of weight, so he hadn't been going to the company to work recently, handling matters at home instead.

"Brother Han, why aren't you staying inside?" Bai Shuruo asked.

Han Yangting said, "Not seeing you for half a day feels like three autumns."

"I only went out for half a day, how could it be that exaggerated?" Bai Shuruo walked to his side and took his arm.

"How is Meng Ze? Is he alright?" Han Yangting asked.

"He... forget it, let's not mention him." Bai Shuruo knew she couldn't manage so much, so she changed the subject, "Brother Han, what are we eating tonight? I'm starving to death."

Han Yangting smiled, "Ruoruo is quite good at changing the subject now; did you practice that at the company?"

"Yes, if you keep pretending to sleep, I'll become an old fox soon too," Bai Shuruo said.

"Then I'll tell you what you can eat tonight."

"Eat what?"

"Eat me."

Bai Shuruo realized what he meant and blushed, then tugged at him and said, "Brother Han, you're bullying me again!"

"Then bite me."

"Fine, you said it."
