Cheng Nuo didn't dare to mention He Tianyu's name. In He Zikai's opinion, he and He Tianyu didn't know each other yet. If he mentioned He Tianyu's name, He Zikai would definitely pursue those old stories and love scenes that he didn't want to mention.
"Yeah." He Zikai replied calmly, thinking that Cheng Nuo asked this because he felt that he had a bad relationship with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and that his relationship with his nephew might not be good either.
"Tianyu is not only my nephew, but also my 'brother.'" He Zikai continued, "The relationship with him has nothing to do with his parents."
Cheng Nuo's heart trembled violently.
His "brother"? In his heart, He Tianyu can be compared with his good brother Song Jingye whom he met some time ago.
He Zikai saw that Cheng Nuo didn't speak anymore, so he just urged her, "Eat quickly." He didn't say anything else.
After dinner, He Zikai wanted to take her for a walk nearby, but Cheng Nuo refused, saying that he was very tired today and didn't want to go out.
In the end, He Zikai didn't force her, and the two sat on the stools on the balcony for a while before going upstairs to rest.
That night, Cheng Nuo still rejected He Zikai's move.
He Zikai looked at the woman next to him and almost wanted to go crazy. She had not cooperated with him for several nights. This feeling of seeing but not eating was really uncomfortable.
However, when he saw the woman in his arms acting coquettishly, he had no choice but to suppress his inner desire, and even went to the bathroom to take another cold shower to suppress his fanatical heart.
…
The next morning, as soon as the alarm bell rang, Cheng Nuo opened his eyes.
He Zikai and Cheng Nuo got up and washed up, changed their clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Cheng Nuo simply ate some breakfast, said hello to He Zikai, took his bag and went out to work.
Seeing that Cheng Nuo was gone, He Zikai was no longer in the mood to have breakfast. He got up, tidied his clothes, and went to the company.
In Tengda Company, Cheng Nuo was sitting at her desk. Her condition was obviously not as good as yesterday. She looked worried, which was completely incomparable to her happy days before.
"Nono, what's wrong with you? You look so bad. Did you not sleep last night?" Gu Yao noticed Cheng Nuo next to her workstation and asked with concern.
Gu Yao's voice was heard by Xue Shaoqing not far away.
"Well, I haven't been sleeping well recently." Cheng Nuo quickly answered in a perfunctory manner. Because he didn't tell Gu Yao about his marriage, some real reasons could not be revealed yet.
"Is life too stressful?" Gu Yao asked. She read the news some time ago and knew that Cheng Nuo and her uncle's family were bankrupt, so she guessed that Cheng Nuo's life might have changed.
Cheng Nuo forced out a smile and answered Gu Yao, "No, I've been sleeping too late recently."
"Try not to stay up late, you know?" Gu Yao said, "It's very bad for girls to stay up late."
"Yeah, I know." Cheng Nuo smiled.
At this time, Xue Shaoqing had already walked to Cheng Nuo and Gu Yao.
"Cheng Nuo, if you feel unwell, please take leave and go home to rest." Xue Shaoqing also looked concerned, and was very cautious when speaking in front of Cheng Nuo.
"I'm fine." Cheng Nuo answered Xue Shaoqing calmly, then looked at Gu Yao, as if saying to Gu Yao and Xue Shaoqing together, "Hurry up and work, we have a lot of work at hand these days."
"Hmm..." Gu Yao responded and started working hard.
Xue Shaoqing saw Cheng Nuo and Gu Yao getting busy. He wanted to say a few more words to Cheng Nuo, but now he didn't have the chance, so he could only go back to work silently.
On the other side, in He Yi Building, He Zikai walked towards the conference room and explained to An Lin.
"Cut down all the arrangements for this afternoon." He Zikai said.
"Okay." An Lin responded, knowing that his boss was going to pick someone up at the airport in the afternoon.
"Also." He Zikai continued, "Which subsidiary has vacancies for middle management positions?"
An Lin thought for a moment and replied, "Currently there are only Tengda and Zhanyi."
He Zikai thought for a while and then said, "Before noon tomorrow, report to me the personnel situation of Tengda."
He Zikai thought that if his nephew went to Tengda and was in the same company as Nuo'er, they would have more contact and become familiar with each other, and it would be easier for Nuo'er to integrate into the He family.
"Well..." An Lin replied.
All morning, He Zikai spent his time in meetings. It was not until the afternoon that He Zikai had some free time. He looked at his watch and felt that it was almost time before rushing to the airport.
…
Sihanoukville International Airport
A 1.8-meter-tall man, wearing black fashionable casual clothes, with sunglasses covering his charming eyes, walked out of the airport with light steps, carrying a black suitcase in his right hand.
He Zikai was standing next to the car. When he saw a familiar voice and knew who he was even though he couldn't see his eyes, he stretched out his hand and shook it towards him.
The man's steps did not stop, but he took the sunglasses away from his eyes with his left hand, looked at the man waving to him not far away, then raised the corner of his mouth, quickened his pace and approached the person not far away.
"Welcome back." He Zikai said, extending his hand.
"Uncle." He Tianyu called him a greeting, and then he and He Zikai gave him a man's hug before asking, "What? You are the only one who came to pick me up?"
"Who else?" He Zikai asked, somewhat guessing in his mind that He Tianyu was probably asking Nuo'er, whom he had never met before, right?
"Of course it's aunt." He Tianyu said with a smile, "I was sitting on the plane and thought, if you come to pick me up, you will definitely come with aunt, but the reality... really disappointed me, I didn't see it.
The aunt you took by force."
He Tianyu was indeed a little disappointed. Ever since he found out about his uncle's marriage, he wanted to see the true face of the aunt who was married by his uncle in Lushan, but this time... he still let himself down. It seems that he will have the opportunity to see the aunt in the future.
Aunt.
"She went to work today and couldn't come." He Zikai said that he had no intention of asking Cheng Nuo to pick up Tianyu at first.
My idea is to pick up Tianyu myself, then go back to the villa to pick up Cheng Nuo in the afternoon, and go back to the mansion to have dinner together in the evening, just in time for Cheng Nuo and Tianyu to get to know each other.
"Yes, I understand." He Tianyu nodded. Today is not a weekend, so everyone should be very busy.
He Zikai took He Tianyu's luggage and put it in the trunk. Then the two of them got in the car, and He Zikai drove away from the airport.
On the way, He Tianyu admired the scenery outside the window and sighed in his heart. At the same time, he also felt a little more excited.
In four years, this city has changed a lot.
My own Nono, has she changed? Is she more beautiful than before?
"Go back to the mansion?" He Zikai asked.
"Uncle, I have something to do and I don't want to go back to the mansion now." He Tianyu said quickly. (To be continued)
