After getting what he wanted, Tang Zhou slept soundly and woke up refreshed in the morning.
He reached out and touched the side, no one was there.
He was about to get up when he heard footsteps coming from outside the bedroom, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended he hadn’t woken up.
The door gently opened, the friction between the sole of the shoe and the floor was transmitted along the bed, Tang Zhou clearly perceived that someone was approaching the bedside.
Fu Shen stopped two steps away, seeing Tang Zhou’s eyes move, not able to secretly hold back a smile, walking forward two steps, bending down to get close to Tang Zhou’s ear.
“Baby, get up.”
Tang Zhou rolled over, his back facing him.
Fu Shen smiled and said, “Mr. Tang, if you’re late for work, people will laugh at you.”
Mr. Tang, the lazy cat, turned back around and opened his sleepy eyes. He hummed and said, “I don’t want to get up.”
He slept too comfortably last night, and he missed that feeling.
Anyway, he’s no longer the heir to the Tang family, so he doesn’t need to keep up the cold and aloof persona.
In front of his lover, isn’t it nice to be a lazy cat who can always be spoiled?
“No,” Fu Shen said seriously. “Now that you’re the one who supports the family, if you don’t go to work, our family will be even worse off.”
Tang Zhou: “……”
What a drama queen!
He got out of bed reluctantly, ate breakfast, and changed into a suit. He was about to tie his tie when a hand reached out.
Tang Zhou raised his eyebrows. “You learned it?”
Fu Shen nodded.
He was half a head taller than Tang Zhou, and his eyelashes were slightly lowered. He tied a perfect knot with his hands, then raised his eyes to meet Tang Zhou’s gaze.
Tang Zhou gave him a serious assessment. “The speed and the finish are both good.”
“Is there a reward?” Fu Shen asked with a smile.
Tang Zhou looked at him. “You don’t have to go to school on your own, I’ll drive you there.”
Fu Shen shook his head. “It’s close; I’ll ride my bike.”
“Well, I’m off to work,” Tang Zhou decisively ended the conversation.
He certainly knew what reward Fu Shen wanted, but the arrogant Tang Shen indicated that since someone hadn’t agreed to sleep with him before, now he wouldn’t agree with this either!
Fu Shen captured his hand, pressed him against the entrance wall, his gaze deep. “Kiss me.”
Tang Zhou narrowed his eyes at him, finding it enjoyable, huh?
He tilted his head and pecked Fu Shen’s cheek, pretending to push him away. However, he was grabbed by the back of his neck, and his lips felt a sudden warmth.
After five minutes of rubbing, Fu Shen reluctantly let him go. His gaze was fixed on Tang Zhou’s lips, now tinted a rosy red from the kiss, looking quite intoxicating.
Tang Zhou made a light humming sound, isn’t this supposed to be platonic?
Seeing that Tang Zhou didn’t react negatively, Fu Shen felt relieved.
Perhaps Tang Zhou’s mention of Plato before was just a casual question, or perhaps Tang Zhou was just a bit afraid of that kind of things, rather than genuinely desiring a Platonic relationship.
He only needed to progress gradually, and Tang Zhou should slowly come around.
With their relationship progressing, Tang Zhou went to work in a cheerful mood. However, Zhang Silin urgently knocked on the office door, saying, “President Tang, Yingteng, who had expressed cooperation intentions with us before, has backed out.”
Tang Zhou remained calm, “I see.”

“Even without Yingteng, there are other companies,” Tang Zhou said casually, looking out the window. “Manager Zhang, go talk to the head of Yaqi.”
Zhang Silin was taken aback. “Yaqi?”
If he remembered correctly, Yaqi was a rookie, and it was no match for the veteran Yingteng.
“Yeah, give it a try,” Tang Zhou instructed, not wanting to elaborate on anything more.
What else could Zhang Silin do? He could only follow his instructions.
He didn’t know that Yingteng’s betrayal was just a ploy set by Tang Zhou.
Tang Tianyang is now taking over the company’s affairs under the support of his grandfather, Elder Tang. Naturally, he wants to make a name for himself and ruthlessly suppress Tang Zhou.
The Tang family and Hua Yue have very similar business scopes and need to cooperate with similar companies.
Yingteng naturally became the target of competition between the two companies.
Tang Zhou was the first to contact Ying Teng to discuss cooperation matters, and deliberately had someone spread the news to Tang Tianyang’s ears. After Tang Tianyang learned of this, he naturally didn’t want to let Hua Yue succeed, and tried to do everything on his power to win over Ying Teng.
Compared to the “dying” Hua Yue, Yingteng naturally prefers the “flourishing” Tang family.
All of this was within Tang Zhou’s expectations.
Tang Tianyang only knows that Yingteng is like a noble in the industry, but he doesn’t know that this noble has already been falling from grace. Yingteng is in constant internal turmoil, and the newly appointed leader is not a wise helmsman.
In the dream, Tang Zhou never thought of cooperating with Yingteng. Even more so, after experiencing the dream and knowing in advance that Yingteng will die, it would be even more impossible for him to put his bet on Ying Teng.
He only gave Tang Tianyang a message, and it was up to him to decide whetherto use it or not.
Facts proved that Tang Tianyang was eager to make a name for himself, and his desire to put Tang Zhou under his feet was obvious.
He snatched Yingteng away, not only for the further development of the Tang family but more importantly, to see Tang Zhou’s downfall.
But even if bystanders could see through his intentions, they wouldn’t think he was being petty.
Including Tang Zhihua, what they see are the results.
Tang Tianyang’s ability to snatch Yingteng away from Tang Zhou was a testament to his strong methods.
Tang Zhihua even felt a subtle sense of achievement.
He sighed to Butler Fang, “It’s still better to be at home than to be wandering out there.”
Butler Fang smiled and said, “You’ve taught him well. Young Master Tianyang is now capable of taking charge of things on his own. However, Yingteng’s fickleness is not a good look.”
“As long as you haven’t signed a contract, it cannot be considered treachery.” Tang Zhihua shook his head.
Butler Fang’s eyebrows furrowed with worry. He knew Young Master Zhou too well, and even though Hua Yue was currently in a weak position, Young Master Zhou would still be able to convince Yingteng to choose Hua Yue over the Tang family.
But after thinking about it, he still decided to not speak up.
The chairman can certainly see things more clearly than he does.
Just as Tang Tianyang was celebrating the National Day holiday with pride, Yingteng went into chaos. And this time, it was a big one.
Like a row of dominoes, the collapse of one wall triggered a series of collapses.
Not only was Yingteng itself heavily damaged by the disaster, but other companies that cooperated with it were also facing difficulties.
And the Tang family, which had just signed a contract with Ying Teng, was dumbfounded.
The Tang family had just invested a large sum of money into a project, and now, Yingteng had collapsed completely. Many of the responsible persons had fled the country with their money and left Ying Teng unable to protect even itself. Now, how can they have the spare money to start with compensation?
After the actual bankruptcy and liquidation, the Tang family would probably not be able to get back much.
On the other hand, Hua Yue, which had “reborn,” signed a cooperation project with the up-and-coming Yaqi in the midst of this chaos.
The National Day is a statutory holiday, and all Deep Blue employees are given a seven-day vacation.
Only Fu Shen was still diligently working in the company.
Tang Zhou also didn’t give himself a break, but he left work early and drove to Deep Blue to pick up Fu Shen.
On the way, he saw a cake shop and suddenly thought of buying a small cake to bring over.
The office was empty, with only the sound of a mouse and keyboard playing in unison coming from Fu Shen’s office.
Tang Zhou quietly walked to the door and slowly turned the doorknob.
The door was unlocked!
He opened a crack and peeked through, just in time to see Fu Shen’s handsome face.
It is said that men who work hard are the most attractive, and Tang Zhou believes this to be true.
Fu Shen had experienced a lot since he was young, and he was mature for his age. He no longer had the youthfulness of a student, so his focused appearance as he sat at his computer working was truly very attractive.
He seemed to be gradually merging with President Fu in his dreams, but he had a little less of the President’s gloom and coldness, and a little more of his gentleness and peace.
Thinking of how the other person was increasingly asking for more and more kisses, Tang Zhou couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Waiting until Fu Shen stopped working, Tang Zhou pushed open the door and knocked.
Fu Shen was just organizing his thoughts when he heard the knock, he started feeling a little impatient. He suddenly looked up and saw the handsome and noble young man standing at the door with a smile on his face, holding a box of cake in his hand.
Impatience turned to surprise in an instant.
He quickly stood up to greet him. “When did you come?”
Tang Zhou: “Just now.”
The office had been recently furnished with a sofa, and the two of them sat down on it. Tang Zhou put down the cake. “I brought you afternoon tea.”
Fu Shen was so excited to see Tang Zhou that he couldn’t care less about the afternoon tea.
He wrapped his arms around Tang Zhou’s waist, his eyelashes drooping. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
Tang Zhou raised an eyebrow. “You don’t like surprises?”
Fu Shen paused for a moment. “I do,” he said. “But I’d rather you go home and rest sooner.”
Tang Zhou opened the cake box. “For me, coming to you is also a rest.”
The smell of buttercream mixed with fruit wafted out, and even Tang Zhou, who didn’t really like sweets, felt a sense of happiness.
He scooped a spoonful and held it to Fu Shen’s lips. “Everyone else is on vacation, but you’re the only one working overtime. I have to reward you, don’t I?”
Fu Shen’s eyes were full of smiles as he accepted “Mr. Tang”‘s kindness.
“Is it sweet?”
“It’s sweet.”
“How sweet?”
Fu Shen scooped a spoonful and offered it to Tang Zhou. “Try it yourself.”
Tang Zhou shook his head. “Too much, I’m afraid I’ll get sick of it.”
Fu Shen took a smaller bite.
Tang Zhou: “I’m a little thirsty.”
“I’ll go pour you some water,” Fu Shen stood up with a sigh. He couldn’t believe he had forgotten about that.
Tang Zhou, however, laughed.
Fu Shen turned to look at him in confusion, but Tang Zhou just said with a smile, “Come lower.”
Fu Shen bent down.
Tang Zhou said, “A little lower.”
Their faces were just centimeters apart.
Tang Zhou sat on the sofa, reached out to wrap his arms around Fu Shen’s neck, and leaned against his lips. He gave him light peck, wiping away the smear of cream.
“It’s true, it’s very sweet.”
The young man’s eyes were as bright as stars, and they fell into Fu Shen’s deep and dark pool of eyes, stirring up the ferocious beast buried deep in the bottom of the pool. The beast suddenly burst out of the water and pounced towards the bright star that was so close at hand.
When Fu Shen laid him down on the sofa, Tang Zhou was still looking forward something.
But when the ferocious beast ripped off its gentle mask and revealed its ferocity, as if it wanted to chew the star to pieces, Tang Zhou shivered and grabbed his hand, which was now under his shirt, whisperign, “This is the office.”
Fu Shen chuckled angrily and pinched his cheek. “Now you remember we’re in the office?”
Tang Zhou knew he was wrong, but he turned the tables on him. “Didn’t you want to be just platonic?”
Fu Shen paused. “When did I ever say I liked being just platonic?”
“I asked you if you wanted to be platonic at the villa last time, and you said it was fine like that.” Tang Zhou still holds a grudge.
Fu Shen was stunned.
He laughed in disbelief, “You asked so seriously, I thought… Well, I didn’t understand what you were asking.”
Tang Zhou’s eyes widened. “You thought? You thought what? You thought I wanted to be just friends?”
Fu Shen didn’t say anything, but his expression clearly said, “Isn’t that what you meant?”
“That night when we were swimming, I was sure you were avoiding me.” Tang Zhou looked at him aggrievedly.
Anyone facing their lover’s avoidance would think something was wrong, right?
Fu Shen rubbed his forehead and sighed. “I was afraid of scaring you.”
Swim trunks are originally tight-fitting, and it would be even more evident.
Tang Zhou thought to himself: He won’t be scared; after all, he has watched some videos.
Then Fu Shen caught his hand.
The man’s gaze was deep, pulling Tang Zhou’s hand, gradually, gradually…
He asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you scared?”
Tang Zhou: “……”
Although they stopped not too far away and did not touch anything, Tang Zhou still felt a burning sensation pass through his fingertips and throughout his body.
His face turned red.
Then, he stretched his neck, “Let’s study it at home…”
Fu Shen laughed lightly and let go of his hand.
There is always time in the future.
This is a repeat of Chapter 42.
I love how they’re taking their time, and how the ml doesn’t really push the mc’s boundaries too much, he knew how to accept a no
