Shao Tianze also looked into Miaomiao’s eyes but with his smile fading.

Miaomiao felt a bit nervous. Somehow, she was afraid that her father would nod and say yes.

Shao Tianze could sense that his daughter was nervous.

Thus he stroked her hair with a smile, saying gently, “Your mom is alive. But she has gone somewhere very far away from us.”

Miaomiao was an amenable and cute kid. Shao Tianze loved her so much and wanted to bring her up. However, he had never thought of telling Miaomiao what he and Gu Changle did to Gu Changge.

Shao Tianze slightly pressed his lips, saying with a smile, “Your mom is still alive. You are so cute. How could your mom leave you?”

Shao Tianze stroked his daughter’s hair.

Looking at Shao Tianze, Miaomiao lowered her eyes, feeling down.

Miaomiao had a strong feeling that her father was lying to her, which she hated.

But her father wouldn’t give her a more definite answer.

“Come on. Be a good girl and get some sleep.”

“But I haven’t had lunch yet.”

Miaomiao looked at Shao Tianze in bewilderment, not knowing why he suddenly lulled her to sleep.

Reminded by his daughter, Shao Tianze smiled and rubbed his brows, replying, “Sorry, I wasn’t thinking straight. What do you want to eat, Miaomiao? I’ll let the cooks make it for you, OK?”

Miaomiao pondered for a while, saying, “I want to have dessert soup with red dates, longan, and tremella.”

“So picky?”

Shao Tianze asked Miaomiao.

Being judged by his father like that, Miaomiao pouted unhappily.

Shao Tianze chuckled and gently scratched Miaomiao’s nose, saying, “I’ll tell the cooks to make it. Here’s your home. We’ll make anything you want to eat as long as you are happy.”

Hearing her father’s words, Miaomiao smiled and her eyes lit up, which showed that she cheered up.

Seeing that, Shao Tianze was relieved as he knew Miaomiao had forgotten the things concerning Gu Changge for now.

Shao Tianze accompanied Miaomiao to have lunch and then lulled her to have a lunch break.

Not until this afternoon did Shao Tianze go to the hospital to accompany Gu Changle.

Actually, he wanted to go to the Shao enterprise. But it suddenly occurred to him that the whole Yuncheng was rife with the Song Family and the Lu Family’s marriage.

If he returned to the company, the Yuncheng media would try to stir up trouble and spread rumors.

If he went to the hospital to accompany Gu Changle, he would have a good reason to save face even if he wasn’t invited to the engagement ceremony.

Shao Tianze’s arrival both astonished and surprised Gu Changle.

It was just that Gu Changle hadn’t bought a new vase to replace the old one which she swept off her bedside table.

Seeing that the vase was gone, Shao Tianze knew Gu Changle must have lost her temper last time he left.

While peeling an orange, Shao Tianze asked Gu Changle, “Did you blow up last time I left?”

Gu Changle pressed her lips, not wanting to answer this question.

Seeing that Gu Changle remained silent, Shao Tianze continued, “Now the Song Family and the Lu Family have combined. Our family needs me. You can understand, right?”

After Gu Changge died, Shao Tianze had been in full control of the powerful Gu’s.

A man with such a great property naturally had a sense of vanity and satisfaction.

However, after he got hold of it, he had to put much energy to manage the Shao enterprise.

Gu Changle was the woman Shao Tianze loved and cared about. He wanted her to live a good life and be the happiest woman in Yuncheng.

But it didn’t mean that Shao Tianze wanted Gu Changle to be clingy or bring him trouble.

Shao Tianze was exhausted, and it was nice of him not to ask Gu Changle to take the pressure off from the Shao enterprise.

After finishing his work in the company, Shao Tianze only hoped that he could have a small talk with Gu Changle to relax.

He didn’t want to see her bleating, losing temper, or acting like a spoiled child.

Hearing Shao Tianze talking about things between the Lu Family and the Song Family, Gu Changle also frowned. Then she asked him, “So what should we do now?”

“Anything we can. Now you only need to recuperate. Let me take care of that.”

Gu Changle nodded, replying, “Okay.”

Shao Tianze took a piece of the orange and handed it to Gu Changle’s mouth.

Gu Changle opened her mouth and ate the piece of orange Shao Tianze handed over.

And she, wittingly or unwittingly, licked Shao Tianze’s fingers with the tip of her tongue.

Because of Gu Changle’s present condition, Shao Tianze hadn’t touched or kissed Gu Changle for a long time.

Shao Tianze was in the prime of life, so he had physiological needs.

When Gu Changle licked his fingers, Shao Tianze was a bit turned on.

Gu Changle seemed to sense that, so she smiled and looked at Shao Tianze, saying, “You haven’t touched me for a long time.”

“It’s inappropriate as you haven’t recovered yet.”

Shao Tianze tried to persuade her.

Having said that, Shao Tianze still felt a surge of desire for her.

Seeing Shao Tianze persuaded her with a straight face, Gu Changle smiled and ogled Shao Tianze, saying suggestively, “Really inappropriate?”

Shao Tianze didn’t respond.

Actually, Gu Changle’s attending doctor didn’t say whether Gu Changle could have sex or not.

And just because of that, Shao Tianze was very careful not to put any physical pressure on Gu Changle.

But Gu Changle couldn’t restrain her desire. She reached out and put her hand on the back of Shao Tianze’s hand.

Then along the back of his hand, her hand moved up.

Gu Changle didn’t stop until she touched Shao Tianze’s chest.

She alluringly untied Shao Tianze’s shirt within seconds and then stroked his chest.

Shao Tianze knitted his brows, putting the orange in his hand onto the bedside table.

Seeing Shao Tianze’s breathing became somewhat rapid, Gu Changle threw herself into his arms.

Then she nestled against Shao Tianze’s chest.

Right after that, Shao Tianze held Gu Changle close and kissed her on the lips.

Shao Tianze’s kiss was so overwhelming that Gu Changle could hardly take it. Shao Tianze was like a set-freed beast, whose kiss was even a bit unceremonious.

But Gu Changle loved Shao Tianze.

Thus she liked whatever Shao Tianze did, and she enjoyed it.

Because Shao Tianze was not only a man Gu Changle loved but also a trophy.

He was the trophy she deprived Gu Changge of.

…

When Song Yunxuan and Lu Feng’s engagement ceremony was over, it was already two in the afternoon.

The guests who attended the ceremony all took their leave.

After the engagement ceremony, Song Yunxuan felt a little tired.

Despite the tiredness, Song Yunxuan still managed to see the guests out one by one.

After all the guests had left, Song Yunxuan turned to order Xiao Hong, “Get the car ready. Time to return.”

Meanwhile, Lu Feng was just in time to hear that.

Lu Feng reminded Song Yunxuan, “Shouldn’t you go to my family tonight?”

“Returning to the Song Family is okay.”

Song Yunxuan replied evenly.

Then Lu Feng said blandly, “Now the whole Yuncheng know that you are my fiancée, and the Yuncheng media will pay close attention to our first night after the engagement ceremony. If we are not together tonight, won’t it make others feel our engagement emotionless?”

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan pondered for a while, remaining silent.

Lu Feng added, “Yunxuan, give it a little more thought. Then tell me your decision.”

Song Yunxuan replied, “Mr. Lu, I may have to trouble you…”

“Still call me Mr. Lu?” Lu Feng looked at Song Yunxuan smilingly, “We’ve already engaged. Can’t you call me dear?”

“I’ll return with you.”

Song Yunxuan didn’t respond to Lu Feng’s question. After telling Lu Feng she would return with him, she turned around, saying, “I’m going to get some rest in my hotel room.”

Lu Feng didn’t press her. Instead, he just nodded, replying, “OK, go ahead.”

In the final analysis, it was not an engagement ceremony for two people who were in love. Thus it was normal for Song Yunxuan to be tired after it.

Seeing that Song Yunxuan and Xiao Hong returned to the hotel room together, Lu Feng turned to ask the assistant who wheeled him behind, “How did the Shao Family react?”

“Shao Tianze might feel ashamed, so he went to the hospital to accompany Gu Changle.”

Hearing his assistant’s words, Lu Feng chuckled, judging Shao Tianze, “He reacted really fast.”

“But Mr. Lu, we didn’t invite the Shao Family to the ceremony. Could they have complaints about us?”

Lu Feng replied with a smile, “Even if they have some complaints, so what? Are they capable of taking us on?”

His assistant pressed his lips, reminding Lu Feng in a low voice, “Mr. Lu, the Shao enterprise is a big and powerful company anyways. You have to be cautious.”

“If the Shao enterprise were still the Gu’s and the person in charge were Gu Changge instead of Shao Tianze, I would be cautious. But Gu Changge has died, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

After hearing Lu Feng’s words, the assistant didn’t say anything else.

Actually, Lu Feng knew what was what.

Now the Shao Family was not as powerful as the one run by Gu Changge.

Otherwise, the Shao Family wouldn’t have been suppressed by the girlie Song Yunxuan.

Besides, there was one thing that was the most important and was also Shao Tianze’s biggest slip.

It was that Shao Tianze failed to stop Song Yunxuan from uniting with Lu Feng.

If Lu Feng had stayed on the sidelines without helping Song Yunxuan, it would have been hard to say whether the Shao Family or the Song Family would have the last laugh.

But Shao Tianze was negligent in it.

Thus Lu Feng and Song Yunxuan combined successfully.

Since Lu Feng had established a win-win relationship with Song Yunxuan, he would naturally help her to tear apart the Shao enterprise and swallow it up.

The Shao enterprise was a big cake.

However, few people were able to enjoy it.

After uniting with Song Yunxuan, Lu Feng could move in on the Shao enterprise.
