Chapter 73: Her New Routine

~8 min read 1,440 words

Bai Shuruo was so tired she didn't even have the strength to pull her hand back, so she just let him hold it, then said listlessly, "Work is so annoying, I really want to quit."

Han Yangting looked at her and smiled, "If you really don't want to work, then don't. Our family isn't lacking that bit of your salary; I can support you."

Bai Shuruo looked at Han Yangting's face; his expression looked very sincere.

Yet she shook her head and smiled, thinking of what many public accounts said: "I'll support you" is the biggest lie in a marriage.

Many men, after supporting a woman for a while, decide they don't want to anymore. Women must absolutely not be fooled by them; once they grow old and faded, they go off to support someone else.

In just a short moment, Bai Shuruo had already imagined the scene a dozen years later in her mind: her at that time, dragging three children, cooking and changing diapers, waiting on parents-in-law, her figure gone to seed, her husband having a soulmate outside...

Once she thought of this, Bai Shuruo was instantly revived with full health. She gritted her teeth: "Although work is a bit annoying, income is a woman's foundation. The more money you have, the more foundation you have, so I must work, I must keep grinding, come on!"

She shook off his hand, stood up quickly, and added, "Brother Han, I'm going back to my room to work."

Han Yangting: "..."

What on earth happened today?

He called Ali: "Check and see what happened to my wife at the company today."

At this moment, Ali was in the villa of a busty rich woman. The two had eaten a takeout grilled fish tonight, and after finishing the fish, they were kissing on the sofa. As a result, the boss called, and Ali hurriedly pushed the rich woman away.

The rich woman was left out in the cold again, feeling very dissatisfied in her heart. Her bra clasp was already undone, yet he could actually hit the brakes.

Ali respectfully finished the call, then immediately set about investigating.

The rich woman was angry, but seeing such a serious Ali, her anger dissipated. She only felt that a man working seriously was truly charming.

Originally, she just craved his body and wanted to get him back to play around with, but this Ali was becoming more and more to her liking. Not only was he serious and hardworking at his job, but there was also a hint of ruggedness about him; he seemed to have seen a lot of the world and looked like someone who could get by anywhere.

Ali finally finished the investigation. He compressed what happened today into 500 words and sent it to Han Yangting, so he would understand at a glance.

After finishing this, he pulled the busty rich woman into his arms and said, "Let's continue!"

Rich woman: Oh my, so manly, so direct, I love it.

After Han Yangting finished reading the report Ali sent back, he was silent for a while.

The workplace is sometimes like this; the more outstanding you are, the more people will be jealous of you. Being in the workplace, you must not only have excellent professional ability, but also guard against others setting traps for you.

He felt it was good for Bai Shuruo to suffer a little setback; a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.

As for He Piaoxue, she had already been dismissed. From now on, as long as she wants to apply for jobs in the relevant industry, people will know about her situation, unless she truly repents.

Bai Shuruo pulled an all-nighter for two nights and finally finished the new proposal.

The next day, she came out with two panda eyes and saw that Han Yangting had already prepared breakfast.

"Ruoruo, come over and eat something," Han Yangting said.

"But, I'm in a hurry," Bai Shuruo said.

"No need to rush, I'll take you to work in a bit," Han Yangting said, "I have to go to the construction site anyway, it's on the way."

Bai Shuruo paused. Is that called on the way? It's a four or five-kilometer detour, okay?

Her heart warmed.

In order not to live up to his good intentions, she obediently sat at the dining table, yawned, then picked up the vegetable salad on the table, and while eating, said, "Brother Han, thank you."

Han Yangting said, "No need to say more words of thanks, express it with actual actions."

"Actual actions?"

Han Yangting leaned toward her and pointed at his own face, signaling for her to kiss him.

Bai Shuruo was unwilling: "Brother Han, you're so old-fashioned... this, this is a plot only found in those ancient idol dramas."

Han Yangting paused: "So you're saying, Ruoruo has one that isn't old-fashioned? Then demonstrate one for me."

"I... alright."

Bai Shuruo was helpless, but she had a flash of inspiration, so she took another bite of the salad, deliberately letting her lips get covered in salad dressing, and quickly kissed him on the face.

Han Yangting's handsome face was instantly smeared with salad dressing.

Bai Shuruo giggled to herself: "Brother Han, this one isn't old-fashioned."

Han Yangting didn't mind either; he wiped his face with his index finger, then put his index finger in his mouth and licked it, "Ruoruo's new method is great. It allows for a kiss, and it also lets me, your husband, experience a new routine."

"..." It was Bai Shuruo's turn to be embarrassed. She hurriedly lowered her head to eat the salad, eat bread, and drink milk.

At the review meeting that day, Bai Shuruo's proposal was praised again. Wei Zhuguan complimented her for having talent and told her to keep working hard.

Because of this, Bai Shuruo didn't feel that her staying up late was a loss.

Because He Piaoxue had already been dismissed, there were no interns dismissed after this review. The remaining three interns didn't dare to do anything to her again, they were just very envious of her design ability.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day was almost here.

Including compensatory leave, CG had three days off. During these three days, except for special positions, other employees were not allowed to go to the company to work overtime.

Bai Shuruo originally planned to just watch dramas and sleep at home for these three days; that was what a holiday was supposed to look like.

But Han Yangting sent her a message at noon the day before New Year's Day: Ruoruo, do you want to go to the beach? It's a rare holiday, shall we go to the beach for a vacation?

Bai Shuruo subconsciously refused: Let's not go, there are so many people.

Han Yangting: We can find a beach with fewer people.

Bai Shuruo: I'm afraid it's too far, the travel on the road.

Han Yangting: It only takes two hours to drive there, I'll drive. We've been a married couple for so long, and we haven't gone out to play together yet.

Bai Shuruo secretly groaned in her heart; she really didn't want to go.

But his reason was too powerful; not going wouldn't work.

Moreover, it had indeed been a long time since she went out to play; going to the beach seemed to be a matter from over a dozen years ago.

So she replied to his message: Alright.

……

On the night before New Year's Day, after the two finished their meal and sat on the sofa, Bai Shuruo asked Han Yangting nervously again: "Brother Han, do we need to buy some snacks and water or something for the beach? To eat on the way?"

Han Yangting said: "I have already prepared everything."

"Do you have spicy gluten strips?" she asked subconsciously.

She had not eaten spicy gluten strips for a long time, but she was afraid she would be nervous traveling with him.

"No," Han Yangting said decisively.

Bai Shuruo felt a bit disappointed and asked again: "What about mosquito repellent? And sunscreen? Will the sun be very strong tomorrow?"

Han Yangting said: "That is also prepared."

"Then... should I just bring my own personal items?"

Han Yangting said: "We will be staying there for two days. The weather is cold now, so there is no need to bring a swimsuit; just bring a change of clothes."

"Oh." Bai Shuruo's spirits were truly not high.

Just as she was about to return to her room to pack, Han Yangting pulled her back and sat her on his lap.
