"I hope you can get through this difficulty." Tang Yao didn't know what to say, so she could only say this dryly.
Gu Shaoze smiled bitterly and looked at Tang Yao with some self-deprecation: "Yao Yao, shouldn't you be mocking me wantonly now?"
"Why should I mock you?" Tang Yao asked casually.
"..." Gu Shaoze was speechless for a moment. He thought that if he ended up in this situation, Tang Yao, as his former partner, would take the opportunity to ridicule him wantonly. In any case, this could prove that she still cared about him.
But Tang Yao's reaction was beyond his expectation. It was too calm, as if she heard the deeds of an insignificant person, and it couldn't make any waves in her heart.
Gu Shaoze realized this result and couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
"I overestimated myself." He said pointedly.
Tang Yao leaned over and took a piece of pastry, eating it gracefully. After eating half a piece, she said: "Mr. Gu, I sympathize with your situation. If you need my help in any way, you can tell me. I'll help as much as I can, but if I can't help, I can only say that I can't help, and I hope you can understand."
"Yao Yao, don't do this, okay?" Gu Shaoze wiped his face in frustration and said in a low voice.
Tang Yao finished the remaining cakes and smiled nonchalantly: "Mr. Gu, what attitude do you want me to take towards you?"
Gu Shaoze raised his head and looked directly at Tang Yao with bloodshot eyes. His right hand slowly clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed. In the end, he seemed like a deflated balloon.
"I forced it." He said in a hoarse voice.
He reached into his trouser pocket, took out two exquisite boxes, and pushed them in front of Tang Yao: "Yao Yao, these are two small gifts I carefully selected for the two children. I hope they like them."
Tang Yao pushed the box back to Gu Shaoze: "Mr. Gu, no need, you are in a difficult time now. You can save money by returning these two gifts. There is no need to waste money on things that shouldn't be wasted. "
"They are not expensive gifts. Even if I am in trouble, I still don't lack the money for two small gifts. If you don't accept them, you will treat me as a stranger and completely wipe out the relationship we two had. ." Gu Shaoze pushed the box towards Tang Yao again and said seriously.
Tang Yao pondered for a while and finally accepted the gift.
"I would like to say thank you on behalf of Nannan and Hengheng."
"If you can accept it, it is the greatest thank you to me."
The corners of Gu Shaoze's mouth raised, and he finally showed a sincere smile: "Can I... go up and see them?"
"They just fell asleep. If you look at them, you might wake them up and cause another scene." Tang Yao made an excuse casually.
Gu Shaoze's eyes dimmed. Although he was a little disappointed, he could still understand the intention of Tang Yao's refusal. It was simply that he didn't want to involve him too much, so he set his attitude right from the beginning and made it clear that the two of them should distinguish between Chu and Han.
"Yao Yao, my company has something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Walk slowly."
Tang Yao didn't hold back, she got up from the sofa: "I'll give it to you."
"No need." Gu Shaoze initially refused, but then he thought again and agreed, "Sorry to trouble you."
Tang Yao sent the person to the door and said calmly: "Be careful on the road."
Gu Shaoze nodded, took three steps forward, and suddenly turned back. Under Tang Yao's surprised eyes, he took her into his arms.
"Yao Yao, I still can't forget you." He buried his head in Tang Yao's neck and said in a muffled voice: "The thing I regret most in my life is letting go of your hand. If I hadn't been obsessed with it at the time, we would be here now It must be fine, I..."
Before he finished speaking, he was pulled away by a strong force and knocked to the ground with a punch.
Shi Mo, who was hitting the person, stepped in front of Tang Yao, turned to look at her, and said, "Young Madam, are you okay?"
Tang Yao straightened her clothes, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, she shook her head gently, "It's okay."
Shi Mo stared down at Gu Shaoze, who had not yet gotten up from the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Get out! Don't look for presence here, you can't get involved with other people's wives."
Gu Shaoze got up from the ground, raised his hand to touch the swollen corner of his mouth, spat on the ground, and looked up at Tang Yao: "Yao Yao, if I can, I will not give up on you until I succeed. On that day, I will compete fairly with Su Lengmo and pursue you again."
After saying that, he turned around and left, his back looking a little depressed and lonely.
Shi Mo wanted to rush over and beat him, but Tang Yao grabbed his arm and shook his head gently at him.
"Let him go." Tang Yao said.
"But he..." Shi Mo hesitated, thinking that Gu Shaoze had been torn into pieces. He was just a loser. He had no right to mess with Tang Yao, and he didn't feel ashamed.
"He's just an insignificant person." Tang Yao said calmly: "Don't tell Leng Mo about this. I don't want him to be unhappy because of trivial things."
"...Yes." Shi Mo was a little annoyed: "Young Madam, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
"It's none of your business." Tang Yao shook his head: "No one expected that he would hug me suddenly. Just treat it as if you were bitten by a mad dog. If it bites you, you can't imitate it and bite you back. That's not the same as it. What's the difference."
Mad dog
Shi Mo was thoroughly pleased by this metaphor.
The fact that Tang Yao could say this proved that she had no other thoughts about Gu Shaoze in her heart.
"You go and do your work, I'll go up and check on the two little ones."
"good."
After watching Tang Yao go in, Shi Mo thought about it and decided to tell Su Lengmo about it. Gu Shaoze was obsessed with thinking about Tang Yao. He couldn't let the mad dog bite her again.
When Su Lengmo heard that Gu Shaoze went to find Tang Yao again, his deep eyes narrowed subconsciously and sneered.
It seemed that he was too kind to Gu Shaoze, which made him forget his ruthless methods.
"Shi Mo, I said that irrelevant people are not allowed to get close to Tang Yao. You don't seem to take my words to heart. Next time, I may consider moving you away from her." Su Leng Mo's tone was very calm, but anyone could hear the threat in it.
"Boss, it's my fault this time. I can accept any punishment." Shi Mo did not shirk responsibility: "In the future, I will try my best not to let this happen."
"Yes." Su Lengmo responded calmly: "I still have some understanding to make, Gu Shaoze, I will deal with it when the time comes."
"Okay, boss." Shi Mo had no objection.
Su Lengmo hung up the phone, left the office and returned to the conference room.
