Chapter 36: The Paranoid Young Master Blocks the Way at the Airport

Bai Shuruo bought ingredients at the supermarket according to her list, and after making sure she hadn't missed a single item, she carried them back, picking up two pounds of grapes along the way.

Upon returning home, she first washed the grapes and set them in front of Han Yangting, saying, "Brother Han, these grapes are fresh and large. Please have some while I go stew the chicken soup."

She looked every bit the virtuous housewife.

Han Yangting had just finished a meeting; he closed his laptop and smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you."

In truth, his heart was already blooming with joy.

Bai Shuruo then went into the kitchen.

She propped her phone up next to the microwave, opened a video on a certain app, and followed the steps one by one.

She was careful and patient, following every step strictly according to the video, even timing the chicken soup precisely; when she finally lifted the lid, an alluring aroma of chicken soup wafted out.

She tasted a spoonful and couldn't help but feel both surprised and moved—it was delicious, even better than what they made at restaurants.

"Brother Han, dinner is ready," she said, excitedly going out to call him.

Han Yangting put down his computer and came over.

Bai Shuruo then went eagerly to serve the rice.

However, where was the rice?

Han Yangting also walked in, and seeing her frozen in place, he asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it time to eat?"

She couldn't help but scratch the back of her head and said apologetically, "Brother Han, I was so focused on the chicken soup just now that I forgot to cook the rice."

Han Yangting didn't mind, saying, "What a big deal. It doesn't matter if there's no rice; we can use the chicken soup to cook noodles as the main dish."

That was indeed a good idea.

The two of them drank the soup while eating the noodles.

While drinking the soup, Bai Shuruo looked at Han Yangting expectantly, wanting to receive a compliment.

Han Yangting took a sip of the soup and then ate a piece of chicken, his expression unchanged: "As for your level..."

"How is it?" Her little face was full of expectation.

"It's the best chicken soup I've ever had." He smiled and continued eating, using his actions to show that what he said was true.

Bai Shuruo was overjoyed.

At three in the afternoon, Bai Shuruo met Bai Shunan at the airport.

Having not seen her for nearly a month, Bai Shunan's skin was a little tanned, but she looked very healthy, and her face was brimming with a relaxed expression.

"Sister." Bai Shuruo walked happily toward Bai Shunan with a limp, wanting to help her with her luggage.

Seeing Bai Shuruo's gait, Bai Shunan couldn't help but ask, "Why is your walk so distorted? What did Han Yangting do to you last night?"

"Sister..." Bai Shuruo's face turned red. "I worked out last night, which caused some... lactic acid buildup, and my legs are sore. It didn't hurt much this morning, so why is it getting more painful now?"

"No matter what kind of exercise it is, you have to take it easy and be careful not to hurt yourself," Bai Shunan laughed.

"Sister, stop teasing me." Bai Shuruo could tell what Bai Shunan was trying to say.

Bai Shunan handed her one of the small luggage bags: "This is for you."

"What is this?" Bai Shuruo took it and weighed it; it was bulging.

"I bought it at the duty-free shop. It's nothing expensive, but I thought it suited you, so I bought it."

"Thank you, sister."

Bai Shuruo couldn't wait to open it and take a look, but Bai Shunan said, "Don't be in such a rush to look; wait until we get home."

"Alright."

Bai Shunan added, "I'm exhausted. I want to go home and sleep first. Ruoruo, are you coming back with me?"

"Sure, I'll go back and make chicken soup for you too."

"Since when do you know how to make chicken soup?"

"I learned today. Brother Han drank it and said it was very good."

"Oh, how virtuous. No wonder Mr. Han dotes on you so much."

"Sister, you're doing it again..."

"Alright, alright, I'll stop. Let's go home with me."

The sisters left the airport together and were just about to hail a taxi when a person suddenly appeared in front of them.

The man was about 185 centimeters tall, dressed in designer brands from head to toe, very handsome, somewhat arrogant, and wearing a pair of sunglasses; he had the air of a wealthy young master.

As soon as he appeared, he drew the attention of many people around them.

The moment he appeared, Bai Shuruo felt her sister's body tremble.

Her sister said she wanted to break up, but in reality, she still had him in her heart, right? After all, how could one just forget someone they had liked for so long?

"Gu Yunting, why are you here?" Bai Shunan asked, feigning a calm demeanor.

Gu Yunting took off his sunglasses, and those light coffee-colored eyes on his handsome face revealed an intoxicating tenderness.

He had this specific talent: he was usually cold and arrogant, but when he got angry, his gaze would turn weak, like a child throwing a tantrum, fierce yet filled with a desperate longing.

This temperament was a fatal temptation for Bai Shunan.

Gu Yunting asked fiercely, "Bai Shunan, you actually skipped work, and for a whole month at that! Do you know how much money you're going to be docked?"

"President Gu, I have resigned," Bai Shunan reminded him.

"Did I approve it? Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused the company by just walking off like this?"

"It's just a mere Secretary position, and I'm not your only Secretary."

Gu Yunting continued to roar, "If you start work tomorrow, it can still be remedied, and I can dock less of your pay. Otherwise, don't even think about your annual bonus!"

Bai Shunan asked calmly, "Does President Gu really intend to do that?"

"Yes!" When Gu Yunting was angry, he would actually pout slightly, full of a child's temper.

Bai Shunan was not angry either, "If I don't receive the remaining salary this month, then I will send the video of the two of us in bed to Mo Wanqing."

"You... Bai Shunan, you have such nerve. When did you film our video? Didn't I say, you aren't allowed to film me while I'm sleeping?"

"It wasn't me who filmed it; my house has surveillance installed. There was one time you came over, impatient, and took me in the living room. Have you forgotten?"

"Then you should have deleted it."

"If I had deleted it, then I wouldn't be able to get my salary back."

"Bai Shunan, you... I'll ask you one more time, are you dead set on not coming back to work?"

"Yes!" Bai Shunan said.

Gu Yunting looked at Bai Shunan like an injured child, as if he were the one who had suffered the most grievances in this matter.

"Fine, fine, Bai Shunan, since you insist on doing this, then I won't force you. Your salary will be paid to you in full tomorrow."

After speaking, Gu Yunting turned and left, looking somewhat dejected.

And Bai Shunan just stared blankly at his back.

Bai Shuruo knew that her sister was about to soften.

She hurriedly shook her sister's arm, "Sister, Gu Yunting only has Mo Wanqing in his heart. As soon as you mentioned sending the video to Mo Wanqing, he immediately stopped pestering you, which shows he still cares more about Mo Wanqing."

At that moment, Bai Shunan's eyes turned slightly red, and she said, "I know."

But those tears were only for an instant; she quickly smiled again, "Ruoruo, let's go home with sister first to put things away. Sister is waiting to drink your chicken soup."

"Okay," Bai Shuruo said happily.

Gu Yunting exited the airport and got into a flashy red sports car.

After driving for a while, he suddenly slammed on the brakes to stop, then leaned dejectedly against the seat.

The spot where he stopped was right in the right-turn lane, blocking the cars behind him. The cars behind honked their horns several times, but he acted as if he hadn't heard them.

The person in the car behind was furious; if it weren't for the fact that his car was expensive, they would have crashed into him. There was no other way, so they had to carefully overtake him.

Passing by Gu Yunting, the person behind was so angry they cursed, "Is driving a nice car so amazing? Stopping on this main road, are you looking for death?"

Gu Yunting looked at that person dejectedly, "How about I give you the car, and you help me call her back?"

"Call who?"

"My Secretary!"

"You're a lunatic."

The person in the car behind accelerated to overtake, not wanting to argue with a lunatic.

Then several more cars passed by. Every person who carefully passed by him had to curse at him, and he would always say the same thing: "How about I give you this car? You help me call her back?"

Someone posted this situation on TikTok.

A handsome man and a sports car blocking the road immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

Many people said that this person was either showing off, a lunatic, or relying on his decent looks to try and debut.
