Shu Shu listened to the music while drawing in her apartment. Her current life was quite simple, but it was very fulfilling. She did the work she was interested in, and was tired and happy.

She rubbed her stomach and felt a little hungry. ShuShu cooked a cup of instant noodles as usual. Alright, she knew eating this for so long didn't have any nutrition. It was very expensive and convenient.

Today, after work, she went to the supermarket to buy eggs and tomatoes. While cooking the noodles, she also added in an egg and tomato.

Every time she started cooking, she would recall Ling Qiao cooking all kinds of delicious dishes for her. Ling Qiao had lived alone for a long time and had learned how to cook all sorts of good dishes.

Then the doorbell rang, and she put down the bowl of instant noodles and went to open the door.

"Why are you here?" Through the anti-theft door, Shu stared at Ling Qiao in astonishment.

"Open the door, I'm running water in the washroom upstairs to see if there's any effect here."

"Huh?" "What?" Shu Shu was puzzled. There is no leakage of water from my washroom. It has no effect. "

"Open the door, I'll go and check. You don't understand."

Shu Shu opened the door doubtfully. "You know how to check?"

The anti-theft door opened, and Ling Qiao walked straight in, proudly smiling as he said, "If you didn't say so, you wouldn't have opened the door."

"You lied to me!" ShuShu forcefully pushed him out, but her strength couldn't push him. She could only let him in.

Ling Qiao carried a bag in his hands. When he walked in, he saw the cup of instant noodles on the counter. He also saw that there was a whole box of instant noodles on the counter.

"Hey, what are you doing? This is my dinner."

"There's no nutrition for instant noodles."

"Can I add eggs and tomatoes?" Shu Shu frowned, unconvinced as she pinched his arm. "You have to compensate me with dinner."

Ling Qiao picked up the bag and waved it in front of her, "Here, I'll compensate you."

Shu Shu did not dare to take it, asking doubtfully, "What is it?" She leaned over and took a sniff. It smelled good. Meat.

Ling Qiao smiled, placing the bag on the counter and slowly taking out the box inside. "Close the door, quickly come and eat. The pig's feet that Aunt Zhang stewed are your favorite food."

Shu Shu gulped and pouted. "I don't want to eat."

Opening the box, he saw that the pig's feet were glowing red. Looking at the food, Ling Qiao purposely said: "Don't eat it? "Alright, then I'll take it."

"Eh …" Worry, is he going to eat or eat? "You're the one paying me back, so I won't be polite with you." After saying that, she took the box and chopsticks, then quickly ran to the balcony. Wow, it's full of pig's feet, enough for me to eat for two days.

Ling Qiao laughed and shook his head, "Don't just eat the pig's feet, aren't you sick of it? There's still rice here. "

There was a desk on the balcony, where Shu-Shu usually worked and surfed. She sat on a stool, briefly arranging her sketches to the side, and then munching on her hoof.

"Take a seat. There's water in the pot. If you want to drink it, go ahead. I don't have time to greet you."

"I don't need you to tell me. Eat your food." Ling Qiao walked into the room. She seemed to be larger here than he was upstairs, and since there wasn't anything in the room, of course, it seemed more spacious.

He turned around and looked around. Everything was simple. The only appliances he had were the water heater in the washroom and the TV set on the wall. He looked at Shu, who was eating with relish on the other side of the balcony, and felt a pang in his heart. She would rather live in a bachelor apartment, and eat instant noodles every day than spend a single cent on him.

She didn't take all the clothes and jewelry he bought for her. She didn't even take the 300 million yuan bank card, the key to the mansion, nor the car.

Ling Qiao walked to the balcony and opened the window to look out. Fortunately, she was able to see the same things that he saw upstairs.

ShuShu said as she ate, "Yes, Sister Zhang's cooking skills are getting better and better than yours."

"If it's delicious, then eat more. I'll bring more for you from now on."

Shu Shu paused for a moment, silently said: "No need, just treat this meal as your compensation, thank you very much."

Ling Qiao did not say anything, letting her be, as long as she was happy.

Since when had he even had the luxury of having a meal with her? He leaned against the window, crossed his legs, stood leisurely with his hands in his pockets, and looked down at ShuShu.

"I'm eating, don't look at me."

Ling Qiao smiled, turning her head to look back, "Eat what's yours, I'll look at what's mine."

Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him, but she did not feel embarrassed. After all, she was someone who had lived together before, so she did not care about her image.

Like an old friend chatting, Ling Qiao said, "Today, Tang Qing had a small car accident. It's fine, it's just a false alarm."

"Oh, her business is none of my business."

"I even talked to my grandma a lot today. She was very worried about you, so she still cares about you."

"Then help me tell Grandma that I'm fine, that I sleep well, that I'm good and that my job is good."

Ling Qiao suddenly felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. He pushed against the wall and took a step forward. Then, he bent down and hugged Shu Shu from behind.

Shu Shu did not move an inch, neither did she resist, nor did she struggle.

"How am I supposed to eat if you hug me?"

Ling Qiao relaxed slightly. "Eat yours, I'll hold mine."

The corner of ShuShu's mouth curved into a smile. He was still the same person.

"The guy from the car store called me. I already got the car for you. It's in the garage at home. Nothing in the house had changed. I had people clean it regularly every week. Grandmother's health is getting worse every day, and she's worried too much about me. I don't want to cause any more trouble in such a short time, and I'm afraid Grandmother will worry about me again. "So, the title of Madam Ling will have to be worn by Tang and Qing Qing for a few more days."

"Is Grandma sick?"

"I went to the hospital to check, but I didn't find anything wrong with it. It's just that my mind isn't working well, and I don't want to move when I'm older. My mood decides everything."

"I …" Shu Shu wanted to say that I should go and see her, but the words would not come out of her mouth. "Go back and stay with Grandma, and help me greet her."

"There are some concerns that need to be expressed personally before the other party can accept them."

Shu Shu dejectedly lowered her head, silently put down her chopsticks, "I will pray for her in my heart."

Ling Qiao patted her forehead, and couldn't help but kiss her on the head, "Relax, I won't make you wait too long. I already know everything, and I also have sufficient evidence, but I want to minimize the impact. I need to find a suitable opportunity."

These days, she could feel Ling Qiao's sincerity. It wasn't that she didn't feel anything, she was very touched. Perhaps she was also waiting for Ling Qiao to settle this matter and bring her home.

After a long while, she lightly said, "Take good care of Grandma. I'm fine."

"Yes." He held her tighter.

The contract ceremony between the Ling Bai Group and Devil Kee Cartoon Room officially began. Early in the morning, the entrance of the Ling Bai Group building was filled with reporters. Actually, the attention of anime movies was far less than Ling Qiao's attention. Ever since Ling Qiao remarried, she rarely showed herself in public. The reporters had received news that Ling Qiao would personally sign the contract, so they could not let go of this good opportunity.

Shu Shu arrived early. She carried a large cardboard box through the employee passageway and entered. The box was filled with information about the Cartoon Room and cartoon movies. She wanted to send it to the reporters.

Guo Qing had already made arrangements at the press conference. When she saw Shu Shu, she took the initiative to help out, "Aiyo, why do I need a girl to carry such a heavy box?"

"It's alright, this is my responsibility. Miss Guo, you don't need to help."

How could Guo Qing not help? The CEO had repeatedly reminded her not to let ShuShu worry about it, okay? Guo Qing was originally just a secretary, but she was transferred to the position of assistant. The first task she received was the case of Mo Kai, and the CEO's condition was that she had to take good care of Shu Shu.

"Just leave it here. I will have the staff members take their seats. This way, it will be more convenient."

"Alright, then thank you, Miss Guo."

"There's no need to stand on ceremony. This is also part of my job."

At 9: 30, the door of the publishing hall opened and a large number of reporters swarmed into the hall. At 10: 00 PM, the press conference started on time, and Ling Qiao and Xia Yang signed, shook hands, and took pictures. For a moment, the Monk Kee Animation Room attracted the attention of the public.

After the press conference ended, Ling Qiao got up and was about to leave when the reporters flocked over, "President Ling, Mrs Ling had a car accident on XX Road yesterday. I wonder how is the current situation?"

Ling Qiao smiled. "Many thanks for your concern. She's fine, very good." However, he made a note in his heart, was it the car accident that happened to Tang and Qing at XX Road? Wasn't that in front of Shu Shu's apartment? Was it a coincidence, or had she gone out to look for it?

"President Ling, everyone is quite concerned about your marital status. Can you tell us what's different between the two marriages that followed?"

Ling Qiao was a little depressed. His marriage was a private life, okay? But he still smiled faintly, "Different, thank you everyone for your concern."

"Why did you choose to work with Mo Kai this time? Is it related to your ex-wife?"

Ling Qiao frowned instinctively. This bunch of reporters really could dig anything out. He shook his head and denied it. "What I'm interested in is the potential of Xie Kai. I'm very confident in this animation movie." With that, he quickened his pace.

"CEO Ling, please wait a little longer, Director Ling …"

Ling Qiao did not even turn to leave. What was there to stop for? Giving three answers was already giving him a lot of face.

ShuShu stayed in the lounge, watching the live broadcast through the television. After arranging the venue for the press conference, she hid there to avoid being caught by sharp-eyed reporters.

She held the teacup, wanting to laugh. Ling Qiao's impatient face was as cold as it could be. However, the reporter's question was indeed too excessive. He specifically asked about personal matters, so it was no wonder that Ling Qiao would fall out.

"Duk Duk Duk!" Someone knocked on the door, causing ShuShu to turn around. "Miss Guo, can we go now?"

"I'm here to call for you. Arrange a meeting at the Gardener Hotel for lunch. Let's go."

"Alright."

Along the way, Guo Qing and Shu were talking and laughing. Guo Qing sincerely felt that Shu Shu was better than Tang, both easygoing and without any airs. No wonder the CEO cared so much about her.
