In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Yan took the small dessert that her mother had carefully researched and made and sent it to the company for Lu Zhen to try.

In the office, Lu Zhen opened the lunch box with great anticipation and found that there was only a macaron cookie left inside.

He picked up the matcha-colored cookie with his fingertips and grinned: "Is your mother going to let you be this small?"

"On this one, my mother has... already done a very difficult job, okay?"

Lu Zhen looked at her speechlessly: "Then do you want to wipe the biscuit grains on your mouth?"

"Well..."

After being caught, Lu Yan closed the lunch box and ran away: "Let's go."

Behind him, Lu Zhen said angrily: "Next time you eat any food my wife makes for me, I will break your legs, you stinky girl!"

Lu Yan did not leave immediately. She strolled around the company carelessly by herself. She passed by the fully-open conference hall with floor-to-ceiling windows and saw Shen Kuo.

He was sitting at the end of the long table, leaning lazily on the back of the chair. His suit was well-tailored, his shirt was tied around his neck, and he was bound by a neat tie. The sun shone on his delicate face, and his dark eyes were illuminated.

through.

Shen Kuo lowered his eyes and looked at a document in his hand. There was a man standing in front of him, making a report nervously.

He listened carefully and frowned from time to time. From Lu Yan's perspective, she could see that the back of the employee who was giving the report was wet with sweat.

Even "old people" who have been in the workplace for many years would probably be nervous when facing Shen Kuo. His aura is so strong that it would give people a sense of oppression.

Lu Yan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, thinking to herself, how could she like such a man.

Sometimes she even thinks that fortunately her father is Lu Zhen. If a man like Shen Kuo becomes her father and takes care of her all day long, it will definitely be a catastrophe at the end of the world.

But by chance, this man actually became her boyfriend.

Until now, Lu Yan still can't figure out how she fell in love with him and how she fell in love with him so much. All she could think about was him all day long...

As if, it comes from instinct.

Suddenly, Shen Kuo raised his head and saw her.

The seriousness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by slightly raised corners of his eyes and slightly pursed lips, with a twitching outline at the corner of his mouth.

Mr. Shen actually laughed during the meeting! He smiled so sweetly!

Everyone in the office turned around in unison and looked where Shen Kuo was looking.

That little girl Lu Yan had already disappeared.

The following meeting was held very quickly. Shen Kuo simply pointed out the problems, assigned tasks, and then quickly broke up the meeting and walked out of the conference hall in stride.

In the corridor, he looked around and saw that Lu Yan had long since disappeared.

A female colleague who was passing by saw this and poked the right side of the corridor very thoughtfully, saying: "Mr. Shen, Miss Lu is having snacks in the break room."

Shen Kuo walked towards the right side of the corridor, suddenly remembered something and turned back.

The female colleague immediately said: "International secret! I won't tell Mr. Lu!"

Shen Kuo nodded with satisfaction - "Well, go to the personnel department to get twenty days of paid leave."

The female colleague was so excited that she almost jumped up: "Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

Lu Yan sat bored in the lounge for a while, wondering if Shen Kuo's meeting was over.

She was about to leave just now, but when she walked to the elevator, an employee whispered to her: "Mr. Shen's meeting will be over soon."

She pretended not to hear and entered the elevator. As soon as she got out, another employee came over and whispered: "There are newly made snacks in the lounge. I suggest Miss Lu sit down for a while."

So she walked all the way to the gate, and all these employees were like joints of an underground organization, whispering in her ear: "Miss Lu, please wait a moment."

"Miss Lu, how about I make you a cup of coffee."

Lu Yan:......

So how did Shen Kuo train his employees? They all seemed to have become masters.

The whole company knew about their affairs, but her father was stupid enough to keep it in the dark.

Lu Yan went to the lounge, and soon, a beautiful lady brought a variety of desserts and snacks, all of which she liked, and they were all hot and freshly made...

It was obvious that they were all specially made for her.

Lu Yan had eaten a lot just now, and now she stretched out her little hands ready to move and then immediately retracted them.

You can't eat it! If you eat any more, you'll turn into a fat girl!

Turning his head, he saw Shen Kuo leaning against the door, looking at her with a faint smile on his lips.

When did it come!

Shen Kuo walked in, leaned against the tea cabinet, and said with a smile: "Why are you so greedy?"

Lu Yan immediately retracted her hand and said sarcastically: "I won't eat it."

Just...just take a look.

Shen Kuo peeled off a sour tangerine peel candy and put it to her mouth: "You really don't want to eat it?"

"Don't eat." Lu Yan looked away.

Shen Kuo threw the tangerine peel candy into his mouth, making his left cheek bulge.

"Hey, don't you eat sweets?"

"Here you eat."

Before Lu Yan could react, Shen Kuo grabbed the back of her head, pulled her over, and captured her lips.

"!!"

He forced her to open her mouth and brought over the warm tangerine peel hard candy.

Between the lips and teeth, there is the slightly sour and astringent taste of tangerine peel candy. This candy was sent back and forth in the "game" between the two.

It lasted for a long time until...the last bit of sweetness was completely melted away.

Lu Yan's lips turned red.

In the "communication" between the two of them, he had the absolute initiative. Lu Yan, a little white flower, couldn't resist it at all. He made her face turn red and her whole body was weak every time.

Lu Yan couldn't even imagine how terrifying a man who had been banned for nineteen years would be.

She looked at him helplessly and peeled off another tangerine peel candy...

In the evening, Lu Yan returned home and heard Lu Zhen say that the company had a hot spring trip over the weekend. He planned to take the whole family there and asked Jian Yao if she had time.

Jian Yao asked: "Those people?"

Lu Zhen replied: "Our company and Yanghua Technology have organized a singles party that is similar to a blind date... You also know that our company has too many singles. Even Shen Kuo and Liang Ting are still single in their forties.

Not to mention Ouyang Yue and other high-quality single leftover women. Therefore, we must also provide employees with opportunities to get out of singles."

Before Jian Yao could say anything, she turned around and saw Lu Yan looking at her nervously and expectantly.

She asked helplessly: "Then Shen Kuo is going too?"

"Shen Kuo said, I will go, and he will go..."

Jian Yao laughed: "You have a good relationship with him."

"Yes, he has become more and more dependent on me recently."

Jian Yao supported his shoulders with her arms, rubbed his head, and looked at him lovingly——

What a little idiot.

"So how can I go to the hot springs with him? If I want to go, I will also take my wife and daughter there."

Lu Zhen gently rubbed Jian Yao's hand: "Do you have time?"

Lu Yan held Jian Yao's hand and restrained herself from saying anything, but her eyes were already starting to sparkle.

"Then...just go."

Although she does have plans for the weekend, but...Jian Yao still loves her daughter after all.

On the weekend, colleagues from the company gathered at the gate. Everyone was chatting, very happy, and their interest was extremely high.

They boarded the bus one after another. Of course, Lu Zhen and several other senior executives drove their own cars. The first car in the queue was Shen Kuo's black Bentley sedan.

He was wearing an everyday white T-shirt and a peaked cap, looking sporty and casual.

He turned around and glanced at Lu Yan with clear eyes. Lu Yan walked straight towards him as if she had been possessed.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Jian Yao grabbed her.

This guy looked at Shen Kuo with eyes wide open. Do you want to be so... obsessed with him?

At this moment, Lu Zhen drove the car over and said, "Honey, get in the car."

Jian Yao hesitated for a moment and said to Lu Yan: "Daughter, how about we go take a ride in your Uncle Shen's 20 million Bentley?"

Lu Yan glanced at her mother gratefully and moved.

Mom, absolutely!

Lu Zhen looked at the backs of the two of them and shouted: "Hey, you two...have gone too far!"

Snacks were already prepared in Shen Kuo's car. Lu Yan consciously sat in the passenger seat and Jian Yao sat in the back seat.

Shen Kuo turned sideways, fastened Lu Yan's seat belt, turned around and smiled at Jian Yao: "Thank you, Mom."

The corner of Jian Yao's mouth twitched: "I am so lucky to have such a big son for nothing."

Lu Yan quickly said: "We will be filial to you!"

Jian Yao covered her forehead: "Okay, you better shut up, I'm afraid I have high blood pressure."

Shen Kuo started the engine and drove out. At the same time, he took out the snacks he bought and put them into Lu Yan's arms: "Eat slowly."

"Um!"

Jian Yao frowned: "Don't pamper her too much. This girl will go to heaven if she gives you any color. You will be able to parry her if she turns around."

Shen Kuo smiled and threw a bag of chips to Jian Yao: "Don't worry, Mom, I can take care of her."

Jian Yao was speechless: "You call me mom... so smoothly..."

"I have been waiting for nineteen years." Shen Kuo drove the car with one hand and said casually: "It has been prepared for a long time."

Jian Yao sighed softly.

She actually preferred Shen Kuo in her heart. Even if Lu Zhen objected a thousand or ten thousand times, she would be soft-hearted and help him.

Because it was Jian Yao who pulled Shen Kuo back from the brink of suicide...

She gave him a slim hope and supported him to survive until now.

Some time after Lu Yan left, Shen Kuo disappeared. Lu Zhen and Ye Jiaqi searched the streets and alleys of Beicheng, but there was no trace.

Jian Yao is seven months pregnant and is also helping to find him.

Later, she remembered that Lu Yan once told her that Shen Kuo liked to go to the river to watch the sunset, and that was where they often dated.

When Jian Yao arrived, Shen Kuo was already sitting on the embankment.

Jian Yao was so frightened that she climbed up the embankment with difficulty.

"Shen Kuo, what are you doing here! Come back with me quickly! Everyone is looking for you, don't act like a child."

Her voice was blown away by the river wind.

Shen Kuo turned around and glanced at her casually: "What are you doing here?"

"If I don't come, you will die!"

He smiled and stood up. His body had lost most of its weight, his features were sharp and his eyes were bloodshot: "Do you think I will commit suicide?"

"I know that feeling." Jian Yao walked up to him and grabbed his sleeves hard, fearing that he would really jump -

"Believe me, I really know."

She once walked through the edge of life and death, that kind of sleepless night, darkness and despair...

However, Shen Kuo pulled off his sleeve and said sarcastically: "How could you know."

Have you ever lost?

The light of my life, the person who carries all the meaning and love of life, "How can you understand if you have never lost it?"

Jian Yao knows that he has a knot in his heart. If he cannot untie it, this man may jump from here in the next second.

She took away all his faith and lived a short time.

Jian Yao walked up to him, touched her bulging belly, and said softly: "Do you want to say hello to her? She kicks me occasionally. She is a naughty girl, she should be like her dad."

Shen Kuo turned his back and his voice was a little hoarse: "Jian Yao, I will not deceive myself or others."

She has left this world and left him forever.

"Why not give it a try?" Jian Yao looked at him and said stubbornly: "Give yourself a chance, Shen Kuo, wait until she grows up, maybe she will come back."

Shen Kuo's hands clenched into fists, but she pulled him up and touched his stomach.

"You touch her, she eats a lot every day and is working hard to grow up. She also wants to see you soon..."

The moment he met her, Shen Kuo finally couldn't hold back his emotions...

Jian Yao may never be able to see that silent man on the windy riverside in her lifetime, with a rock-like heart and the ability to grit his teeth and push through any setbacks...

Kneeling on the ground, crying like a child who couldn't find a home.

After that day, Shen Kuo no longer gave up on himself. He began to exercise, eat and rest regularly. His self-discipline was so strong that he was not crazy.

Everyone thought he had gotten over the haze of losing his beloved, even Lu Zhen thought so, but...

Only Jian Yao knew that Shen Kuo didn't come out, but... fell deeper.

The only hope that keeps him alive is that young Lu Yan can return to him when she grows up.

Twenty years is too long. If there is no strong belief to support him, he may not be able to hold on.

So Shen Kuo works hard to keep fit, lives hard, and does all this just to be in the best condition to meet his future love.

He will never disturb her until she reaches adulthood. This is also to reassure Jian Yao.

Jian Yao knows her daughter's character very well. Just like Lu Zhen, she is just a silly and sweet little girl, and it is impossible for her to resist the charm of a man like Shen Kuo.

As long as he takes action, she will inevitably fall in love with him.

Shen Kuo kept his promise and did not show up until she came of age. Now, Jian Yao would naturally not object.

After all...it was she who pulled him back from the line of life and death and gave him hope.

…

Jian Yao came back from her thoughts and said to Shen Kuo: "I don't object to you, but we have agreed to three terms. This trip to the hot springs, you must be good to me."

Lu Yan nodded repeatedly: "I will be good."

"Lu Zhen can't accept it for a while. I will slowly do some ideological work for him. You two, please don't create excitement for him."

Shen Kuo said: "Don't worry."
