Chapter 50 (1/2)

Bai Ru left.

When she came, it was as if the spring breeze was blowing. When she left, it felt like the withering leaves of autumn.

It really wasn’t because Chen Hao didn’t have an interest in the opposite gender. After all, he was a twenty-plus-year-old young man with energy and passion to spare. Faced with pretty women, he would definitely have some special thoughts about them.

But Chen Hao was a traditional man. For him, a life partner was someone who shared the same values and principles.

People like Bai Ru were suited to be successful in the business world. In other words, as long as they could lead a good life, it didn’t matter to them what man they had.

Before he even thought about chasing her, he already didn’t dare to share a casual relationship with her. With one foot inside this quicksand, it would just cause him to sink into it. Not only would the feelings not be resolved, but it was also likely for it to turn into a pile of mess.

Not more than five minutes after Bai Ru left, the doors to the ward opened again. This time, a few people and a cat entered.

Chen Hao smiled once he saw them. “Brother Zhou, Sister-in-law, Tongtong, why are you guys here?”

Meow!

The black cat swaggered over with its plump body, jumping nimbly onto the bed. It laid beside Chen Hao, with its paws on his arms as it looked at him with unblinking eyes—the epitome of cuteness.

But Chen Hao harrumphed coldly and nudged the black cat on its head.

“You little brat. You played a part in why I became like this. Don’t think that you can get away with it just by acting cute. I will settle this debt with you next time.”

The black cat kept its cute expression as it escaped from Chen Hao’s grasp and hopped aside, eyeing Chen Hao with disdain.

Trashy owner. How petty.

Hmm, this damn cat, what did I owe it.

Chen Hao was about to glare at it when Tongtong ran over and plopped onto the bed. In her child-like voice, she said, “Uncle, eat some sweets.”

Looking at the milk candies on her tiny, white hands, Chen Hao’s expression turned joyful and his heart melted.

A pretty and cute loli could heal anything.

He couldn’t resist pulling Tongtong up to smooch her. Chen Hao whispered, “What an obedient child. Tongtong, I won’t eat it, you can have it.”

Tongtong shook her head and insisted. “Uncle, you eat it.”

Chen Hao’s heart burst with joy. He finally took the milk candy and ate it in a single bite. As he chewed, he made an expression to show how delicious it was. Tongtong laughed at the sight.

Zhou Gang and Yang Hui gazed at each other, smiles evident in their eyes.

Zhou Gang said, “Hao’zi, you have a good fortune with love. President Bai came down personally to visit. That’s very sincere. Will I get a wedding invitation soon?”

Chen Hao replied in a displeased tone, “Brother Zhou, don’t get strange ideas. This Bai Ru is not my cup of tea. If I really married her, my life would be destroyed.”

Zhou Gang paused in shock before inquiring. “Is this Bai Ru so bad? She’s quite famous in Stone City. She has both looks and money. People all say that whoever marries her will be able to work thirty years less.”

Chen Hao replied, “That’s what normal people think. Me and Bai Ru are people from two different worlds and our birth characters do not align.”

Zhou Gang was speechless. His brother was really a remarkable man. The flower which everyone sought after and was envious about was like grass in his eyes.

Yang Hui, however, was a smart lady. She knew that there must be something else involved, so she tried to change the topic. “Hao’zi, your coma this time scared me and Brother Zhou. You’re right. If this is the result of knowing Bai Ru for such a short time, I’m loathed to find out what happens next. Let this sister-in-law help you find a good and pretty girl instead.”
