Chapter 8
She focused intently on drinking the soy milk from the plastic cup, playfully using a straw to suck up the remnants in the corner, deliberately making a slurping sound.
Hearing the sound, Dad has already arrived at the door. Running back to the lounge is dangerous. In a fit of anger, she quickly slipped and hid under his luxurious desk. Tang Lingtao laughed, tilting his head with a look of glee as he watched her from under the desk, which made her seethe with anger but unable to express it.
The lower 10 floors are occupied by luxury department stores, while the upper 40 floors consist of office buildings, all of which have been snatched up by restaurants, trading companies, hotels, entertainment venues, and so on. Although the rent is expensive, the prime location, brand effect, and extremely high popularity continuously elevate the commercial value of this place
This building is located in the city center, on the former site of Dad's old department store, which he has now transformed into a first-class commercial building
Always thinking of your kindness, I have felt too embarrassed to intervene
She trembled all over in anger
Her expression stiffened, here... could it be?
Tang Lingtao's office is located on the 38th floor, and the entire group's headquarters moved here last year, which demonstrates the success of his decision
She is a bit afraid; it is best to keep quiet and escape whenever he shows such an expression. She is still perceptive enough to pick up on this.
The door opened, and the greetings of the secretary and assistant rose and fell as Dai Mingli had already entered
Dai Chenchen is enjoying the sweet pastry with immense happiness, it is truly delicious
Hmph! She choked a bit, didn't she? She had known all along that he would say that.
When Chen Chen's face turned pale, it was clear that listening to him would lead to no good, yet he still claimed that no one would be able to discover her
Have her call me quickly! Every time I call her, she hurriedly hangs up, and from the sound, it seems she is in a very noisy place. You tell her that if she doesn't come back to see me soon, I will find her a formidable husband who will beat her every day, and I won't care! This child cannot be neglected any longer!
She raised her eyes with a smile, displaying a sense of pride mixed with disdain
She quickly jumped away from him, "Dream on! Yesterday was the last time! There are so many handsome men in the world, I don't need you!"
She took a sip of soy milk, enjoyed her pancakes beautifully, and carelessly dropped crumbs all over the floor
Tang Lingtao smiled and nodded repeatedly
Hmm. Dai Mingli remained silent for a moment
Turning around, I threw the empty cup into the trash can, but it missed and fell onto the carpet
The chair outside the table creaked, and her heart sank along with it; only then did she feel the urge to pinch him, but he, as always, tensed his muscles.
Actually... I didn't come this time for those things. " Dai Mingli's tone was somewhat downcast, " Have you seen Chenchen recently? "
Indeed, men experience "love" through their lower bodies
His office is indeed quite luxurious, and it is equipped with a small suite. Since his divorce from her, he has been living here, which makes life quite convenient.
She leaned against the door frame connecting Tang Lingtao's lounge and office, observing him in a newly changed suit sitting behind the large desk reviewing documents. He indeed resembled a general manager, exuding a certain authoritative demeanor
"Hey, Dai Chenchen, let's live together." He leaned back against the backrest of the swivel chair, glancing at her expression.
She deliberately put on a nonchalant smile, walked over and sat down at his large table, glancing at him from the corner of her eye, "A good horse does not turn back to eat the grass. You are just so-so, occasionally doing it is fine, but cohabitation is not worth it."
He let out a cold laugh, straightened his body to pin her waist, and was about to push her down onto the table, "Is that so? Are you sure?"
As soon as the door rang, she dashed out and pounced on him, biting his face this time
Fortunately, she heard her father say: "I will sit here"
Tang Lingtao did not respond, having seen it, was just under the table
Chen Chen saw Tang Lingtao stand up and said, "Chairman, please take a seat." His two straight suit pant legs flashed outward.
Hmm. This time, Tang Lingtao's stance is quite resolute
He smiled and frowned, "Disgusting"
He smiled as he dodged left and right, one hand pushing her and the other arm wrapped around her waist, "Did you hear that? As long as I can subdue you, any means will do."
Tang Lingtao looked down at her again, while Dai Chencheng, in a fit of anger, made a gesture as if to poke his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and, in an extremely malicious manner, reached out to pinch her face. She wanted to pry his hand away but was afraid of making a sound. Despite her struggles, he only tightened his grip, and she suspected her face was about to swell up. Endure it! This scoundrel specializes in taking advantage of others. She gave up struggling, fuming as she allowed him to have his way with her. Yet, he loosened his grip, pinching and stroking her in a manner that felt both affectionate and teasing.
Suddenly, a soft beep from the intercom sounded, and the sweet voice of the secretary came through, "Mr. Tang, the chairman has arrived"
His smile turned cold
Tang Lingtao was taken aback, released her, and replied, "Understood." He then leaned back in his chair, watching her with interest.
Everything is going quite smoothly. This time, we have invited a renowned designer. I have looked at the drawings, and they indeed demonstrate a high level of skill. The proposed budget is also reasonable
The phone in her pocket rang, and she felt a sense of relief as she ran back to the lounge, trying to keep her distance from him
Alright, I am leaving! Just mentioning the matter between you two makes me furious!
Tang Lingtao stood up again and said, "May the Chairman rest in peace"
It was Mei who called, inviting her to a café. She repeatedly agreed, and with a hint of eagerness, Mei paused for a second and asked: Are you really Dai Chenchen?
Do not irritate me! Sell some strength!
She struggled with all her might, trying to bite him, but she saw his smile freeze, and his eyes glimmered with a mysterious light.
Why? She tilted her head, thinking her appearance was alluring, but unfortunately, her outfit was mismatched. Dressed in casual attire, with a bare face and holding a takeout cup of soy milk, she resembled a child who had just eaten candy and was being mischievous.
Tang Lingtao smiled again
She scoffed dismissively, stuffed the last piece of bread into her mouth, and gave him a scornful roll of her eyes, "Oh—given your current status, who would dare to mock you even if there were the smell of food in the office, let alone the smell of excrement?"
Without makeup, her long hair casually draped over her back, she was as beautiful as she had been five years ago when he first met her. Clearly possessing a charming doll-like face, she insisted on portraying herself as a fashionable, sophisticated woman
Good
"Because you made me feel very comfortable." He laughed lewdly, and a lustful gleam shone in his eyes.
This child runs wild outside every day! A young girl will inevitably suffer in the end
He glanced at her and said, "Is it not possible to eat inside? It smells like food all over here"
He smiled, and his long fingers brushed against his chin
Did you enjoy yourself yesterday
What happened to your neck? Dai Mingli glared at the marks on Tang Lingtao's neck, "If you have this much free time, you should spend it on Chenchen! I won't give up! This time, don't worry about me, whatever it takes, just manage to keep her in check and let her live a quiet life!"
What are you laughing at! Dai Mingli has shifted the target again, "You have disappointed me too much in this matter! How could you not control her?"
"Don't move... it's hard again, let's do it once more," he wickedly suggested
Taking advantage of his moment of relaxation, she pried open his hand and bit him. He deftly dodged and accurately pinched her other cheek. She was defeated as well, remaining completely still
You go help me bring her back, or let her come home to stay! This child is too much of a worry!
Taozi, is the planning for the branch in the west of the city going smoothly?
This beast! She frantically clung to his leg, and he wished he could die! If he were forced to remarry, wouldn't he be in trouble as well?
