Chapter 1: The Office's Unspoken Rules...

  "Who is it?" Hu Dong indeed had the potential for gossip and asked as he approached Yang Zongbao's face.

  "Childhood playmates." Yang Zongbao's answer was ambiguous.

  Hu Dong smiled knowingly and gave the two people some space.

  Yang Zongbao carried Eve down the mountain.

  The taxi driver was still waiting there. Yang Zongbao directly asked him to send them back to Jinjiang Hotel.

  As soon as they entered the hotel, Avril insisted on walking down herself. Yang Zongbao let her be. When they arrived at the door of the suite on the top floor, they saw Zhou Yi with his clothes in disarray and a haggard face squatting there. Red-haired George stood aside with his arms around him, looking at Zhou Yi with a helpless expression.

  "Yang, this guy is too weird, is there something wrong with him?" George asked as soon as he saw Yang Zongbao.

  Zhou Yiyi heard George's voice and shook all over: "Master, save me! If you don't come back, your disciple will lose his chastity." Zhou Yi wiped away tears and snot on Yang Zongbao's body.

  "George is normal, I'm kidding, he's just very passionate with friends, likes nudity, physique."

  "Master, you're framing me?" Zhou Yi cried out in grievance.

  "I told you you'd regret it." Yang Zongbao sent Evie to the bed, then picked up her injured foot and started rubbing it.

  "Don't be like that, it's dirty." Evie was unwilling and wanted to withdraw her foot. However, Yang Zongbao held on tighter.

  "No." Yang Zongbao concentrated on rubbing his feet.

  "Master, are you my master?" Zhou Yi had never seen Yang Zongbao like this before, and he felt unbelievable.

  Yang Zongbao doesn't care about their gaze, and continues to be himself.

  "Yang, you're still as gentle." George plopped himself down on the bed.

  A soothing melody sounded. Yang Zongbao answered his phone.

  "Yang Zongbao, come out and see me! I'll be waiting for you at the Golden Sand Teahouse." Liu Chun said in a fluster.

  "I don't want to go." Yang Zongbao refused decisively.

  "If you don't come, I'll tell everyone about what happened between us." Liu Chun started threatening.

  "Ten minutes."

  Yang Zongbao hung up the phone and said to the people in the house: "You guys chat. Zhou Yi, take care of Aiyier."

  Zhou Yi immediately stood up and saluted: "Guaranteed to complete the task."

  Yang Zongbao rushed straight to Jinsha Teahouse after getting off the elevator.

  When Yang Zongbao arrived, Liu Chun had not yet come. So he casually found a seat, ordered a cup of mocha and waited.

  Half an hour later, Liu Chun arrived late.

  "Here you are?" Liu Chun wore a black suit.

  "What are you looking for me?" Yang Zongbao got straight to the point, unwilling to waste words.

  Liu Chun was very dissatisfied with Yang Zongbao's attitude, so he also picked up the jade: "You help me acknowledge this matter, and I will give you benefits."

  "It's impossible." Yang Zongbao took a sip of his coffee.

  "Aren't you afraid I'll expose everything?" Liu Chun threatened.

  "Don't be afraid. Besides, you're not the only one who has a relationship with me. I've said it before, if you want to find me, you have to be clean. Don't get entangled with others. The rules were broken by you," Yang Zongbao said matter-of-factly.

  Liu Chun's face turned red with anger: "What qualifications do you have to discuss terms with me?"

  "What qualifications do you have to discuss terms with me?" Yang Zongbao retorted.

  “……”

  After he finished speaking, there was a long silence between them.

  "Sorry, I lost my composure." Liu Chun said suddenly.

  "......" Yang Zongbao continued to wait patiently, he had plenty of time and didn't need to rush.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, it didn't take long for Liu Chun to relax his body and sink completely into the sofa facing Yang Zongbao.

  "This child I wanted, but he didn't want me to have him. At that time my brain was muddled, and I let you take on the debt." Liu Chun self-mockingly said: "It was my momentary confusion, don't mind it."

  "No." Yang Zongbao said with a smile.

  "You're really heartless." Liu Chun narrowed his eyes, his eyelashes like a brush, casting shadows on his face.

  "Originally there was nothing, would you remember a disposable glove you used?"

  "You really know how to hurt people with your words."

  "If you want this child, you can't abuse drugs anymore." Yang Zongbao felt that he still had to do his duty as a doctor and remind her, otherwise the child born might be deformed.

  "I knew it from the moment I found out I was pregnant, but I haven't used it since then. But I guess it won't last much longer, my energy is getting weaker and weaker." Liu Chun said with a bitter smile.

  "There's gain and loss in everything. It's not too late to have a child now. At least the hospital won't publicly fire you from your director position."

  The feeling between Yang Zongbao and Liu Chun is quite strange, the unexpected event in the operating room did not cause trouble between the two, but instead brought their relationship closer. Now they seem like friends. Physical contact gives each other a sense of familiarity.

  "The hospital is one aspect, he is another aspect."

  "You don't mind if I talk to you." Yang Zongbao was prepared to sacrifice his own ears.

  "We were classmates and had feelings for each other, but due to various reasons, he got married. I became the third party. Now that I'm pregnant, he doesn't allow me to keep the child, and I'm almost 40, if I don't have it now, I won't be able to have one anymore."

  Liu Chun's tone was still relatively calm, but suppressed a painful feeling.

  "It's better if he gets divorced."

  "His wife is a very kind woman, I couldn't bear to hurt her."

  "Are you determined to live?"

  "Hmm, there might be a lot of trouble later." Liu Chun sighed: "I'm not afraid of being a single mother, I'm afraid he won't let me give birth."

  "Is this another way of dealing with me?" Yang Zongbao naturally thought that Liu Chun was trying to use a soft approach after the hard one didn't work.

  "I suppose so. You've been quite impressive lately. Being able to drive a Q7 and getting rid of Li Jian shows you still have some skills, so maybe it's worth asking for your help."

  "I didn't expect you to know so much. If you need any help, give me a call." Yang Zongbao finally spoke up: "Consider it the cost of last time's pleasure."

  "It's really hard to listen to you talk." Liu Chun said with a disapproving face.

  "Must I tell you?" Yang Zongbao snorted: "Deceive, cheat young men?"

  "Ugh, I almost died that day too. I used to think you were a monster." Liu Chun said with a sigh.

  "What now?" Yang Zongbao asked casually.

  "Now? I'm used to it."

  Yang Zongbao didn't stay to continue chatting, so after seeing Yang off, Liu Chun sat for a long time. The coffee cup that Yang Zongbao had drunk from was extremely clean, without any trace left on the rim. Liu Chun inexplicably picked up the coffee cup and lightly sipped from the side where Yang had drunk, but immediately sprang back as if electrocuted.

  What's wrong with me? Liu Chun slapped her own face in a panic. Today, she had put on makeup especially to meet Yang Zongbao. Although Yang Zongbao didn't notice, it was a wake-up call for Liu Chun. Had she fallen for that man who was more than ten years younger than herself? Liu Chun sat on the sofa in conflict. The crazy thrill of that day still seemed to linger in her body.

  ……

  Since being subtly driven out by Yang Zongbao last time, Bao Guo has been staying in his own noodle shop drinking alone. All the apprentices were dismissed. Every corner of the noodle shop was filled with spider webs.

  The door was suddenly pushed open from outside. A burly figure sat in front of Bao Guo.

  "Have you been hiding out here for days?" The newcomer poured himself a drink.

  Baoguo didn't respond and hung his head low.

  "Are you blaming me?"

  "...Bao Guo continued to remain silent."

  "I know you're in a dilemma, but it's not about passing on messages. He won't sell his face. Who made him hostile to anyone at home?"

  "This is the last time I'll help you. Consider us even." Baoguo snatched the wine bottle and downed it in one gulp.

  "Yang Shuo won't do?" The newcomer sighed.

  "If it were up to me, these old ladies wouldn't have to look for Bao Ge anymore." Bao Guo was extremely disdainful of Yang Shuo: "Just wait and see, one day you'll understand just how extraordinary Bao Ge is."

  "Take good rest."

  The manager walked out of the noodle shop when the sun outside was very big. Although it's a spring sun, it still can't be looked at directly. This time, he let Bao Guo pretend to pass on Yang Tianming's message and thoroughly pulled Bao Guo back from Yang Zongbao's side. What to do next is still unknown? Can only cut off one by one the branches of Yang Zongbao.

  ……

  Yang Zongbao bought a necklace on his way back to the hotel. When he returned to the hotel entrance in high spirits, he found Yang Shuo and Eve standing together.

  Avril saw Yang Zongbao and beckoned him over from afar.

  "Yang, is this your brother? He came looking for me, I didn't believe it, and now he wants to take me out to play." Avril said excitedly.

  "Isn't this my brother? Why didn't you tell me that such a friend had come? I'd like to do my duty as host." Yang said with a smile.

  "How did you come?"

  Yang Zongbao gritted his teeth and asked.

  "Zuò Tóu Shì just so big, you say how I know? I'm very concerned about your whereabouts, my dear little brother."

  "Don't go." Yang Zongbao said directly to Eve, ignoring Yang Shuo.

  "But he meant well." Evie struggled: "I can't go against someone's good intentions." Evie's small mouth pouted upwards.

  "If it's a rose, it will absolutely not go against my intentions."

  "Then go find Violet." Evie suddenly flared up: "Yang brother, let's go."

  "It's my honor." Yang Shuo led Eve onto the car and drove away.

  "Master, how did it become like this?" Zhou Yi said with some regret: "That Yang Shuo is not a good person, don't worry." Zhou Yi could see that Yang Zongbao liked Aiyue very much and was afraid of losing her.

  "It's okay, George is following." Yang Zongbao was indeed a real man and did not show any signs of regret after the event.

  "Where are we going now?" Zhou Yi asked.

  "Go attend class then."

  "But we haven't slept yet?" Zhou Yi's eyes were now completely unable to open.

  "Go to class." Yang Zongbao emphasized on one side. He took a glance at the pendant box in his pocket, and without any hesitation, threw it into the trash can by the road.

  The school is still as quiet, as if everything outside has no impact on this ivory tower. Students attend classes when they should, and eat meals when they should.

  Yang Zongbao was completely unclear about what course to take and was entirely led by Zhou Yi.

  Yang Zongbao's classmates also seemed to have forgotten about this classmate who was always absent. So when Zhou Yi and Yang Zongbao appeared at the classroom door, everyone stared in unison.

  "He still wants to come?"

  "Really? It seems like all red lights last semester?"

  "Why is this kind of person still coming to school?"

  “……”

  Everyone was talking about it.

  Yang Zongbao completely ignored him, treating it as nothing but a breeze in his ear. He found a spot by the side and lay down to sleep. Zhou Yi was only one step behind, quickly catching up with Yang Zongbao's pace, sitting down to sleep.

  The professor on the podium is more useless than last semester's, completely ignoring us as if he hadn't seen us.

  Yang Zongbao slept soundly. The bell after class woke him up. After Yang Zongbao woke up, his head cleared up a lot. He began to think that all this was not accidental.

  It seems that only the butler has seen Avril among Yang's family members. This explains why Yang Shuo knew about it. The butler's stance is already very clear. Yang Zongbao clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table.
