Tang Bainfeng finished reading the last document in front of him and rubbed his aching temples. Every day was a high-intensity job, and as time went on, he gradually developed a headache. Fortunately, it wasn't too deep.
When the pain in his temples lessened, Tang Banyeng got up and took his suit jacket from the back of his chair. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the motionless figure standing in front of the window.
He remembered that when he returned to his office after the afternoon meeting, he had already seen her standing at the window. At that time, he had thought that she just wanted to take a look at the scenery, but from the looks of the current situation, she probably hadn't moved an inch.
Tang BIngfeng didn't know why he'd noticed her. She was obviously just a pretty girl, but for someone like him who was used to seeing pretty girls, she was nothing more than a cabbage.
It was just that she seemed to have a kind of stubbornness that made her want to live even in the midst of hard work and happiness. Others might not be able to see that kind of stubbornness, but Tang Banyeng excelled at observing the expressions on her face.
In the few times that they met, she would always encounter a little trouble, but she always showed a smiling face. Yet, for her to stand in front of the window for so long with such a lonely expression, what was going on?
And just as Tang Banyeng was trying to guess just what had happened, the slim figure in front of the window suddenly moved.
This office was directly across from the room. The exterior windows of the building were specially made so that those inside could clearly see inside, but those outside couldn't. It was actually a good place to spy on others.
Of course, when they were building the building, Tang Bainfeng would never have imagined that this glass, set up to protect privacy, would one day have such an effect.
Tang Yi Feng saw the woman in the opposite room move a short table to the French window with great difficulty. She turned around and went to the kitchen and took out an electric cooker, plugged it in, and poured quite a bit of water into the hotpot. After that, she went back into the kitchen and didn't come out again for a long time.
"This woman can't be thinking of eating the hotpot alone, right?" Tang Banyeng muttered to himself.
And just as if he was trying to verify Tang Bainfeng's conjecture, he saw that the woman in the opposite room had come out of the kitchen with a large tray in her hands. There were dozens of small plates on the tray, and each plate was covered with various ingredients such as fish balls, goose intestines, hair belly, vegetables, and so on.
Looking at the plate full of ingredients, Tang Banyeng suspected that she wasn't eating alone. She might have invited a friend to come and eat with her, but her friend hadn't arrived yet.
However, just as this thought appeared in his mind, he saw the woman in front of him put down the tray and sit down cross-legged on the cushion by the window. She lowered her head and began to adjust the spice plate.
It really was just one person eating. With so much food, could a petite woman like her finish it all?
With the intention to know the results, Tang Banyan actually stopped right in front of the window.
He looked at the fiery hot soup, the dwindling ingredients on the tray, the window glass that had a layer of mist slowly hung on it due to the heat from the hotpot, and his lips that were faintly discernable.
Tang BIngfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously. It looked like he would have to find a hotpot restaurant after he left the company.
Two hours later, Tang Bainfeng finally saw an empty tray. There was also a woman sitting on the wall behind him who was barely able to sit still.
Tang Bainfeng lowered his head and looked at his watch. He found it hard to believe that he had watched someone eat a hotpot for two hours, but he didn't regret wasting this time.
When this woman ate, she always gave off a feeling of happiness and satisfaction, making those who saw her happy.
After she finished eating, a smile finally appeared on her face. Tang Bainfeng shook his head and whispered, "You're such a strange woman!"
She smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the messy cup in front of her, as well as the fact that she seemed to be pregnant for the past three months. Although she was barely holding on to the cup and finding it difficult to even move her fingers, the dark clouds that had shrouded her heart today had all disappeared.
For a foodie, there was nothing that could not be solved with a meal. If one meal was no good, then there would be two!
He leaned against the window with satisfaction and looked down at the traffic. He felt like a warrior that couldn't be defeated again.
Hmph, if she doesn't go home, then she doesn't go home. Other people would worry about the endless meals and the red packets of his wallet. After saving those two red packets, she could reward him with a trip abroad.
Back then, she had hurriedly returned to her hometown due to her mother's illness and had never gone out ever since. During the period of studying abroad, she had not had the chance to visit the coaches who had taken care of her.
As for LuLu, although she was worried about the treatment she might receive, her fate was still in her own hands, and the path to walk could only be decided by herself. As an aunt, the only thing she could do was to stand firmly behind her and act as her shield.
"Ding Ling Ling"
There was another burst of ringing, and before he could get up to answer the phone, he had already guessed whose number it was.
Indeed!
When he saw the caller ID, that was the word that popped up in his head.
"Huanhuan ~" Because she ate so much, her tone of voice carried a sense of laziness.
"Sis, you went to eat hotpot again?"
"Haha, you are indeed a good sister. How did you guess that?"
"Is there even a need to guess? "Since young, you've always been like this. When you're in a bad mood, you have to eat a hotpot. After eating the hotpot, you've always spoken like this. If I still can't figure it out, then you and I will have been sisters for nothing!"
"You know me so well!"
"Nonsense, speak. What request did our stingy sister-in-law ask you for today?"
"What is it? Dad didn't tell you? "
Tsk, dad knows he's in the wrong, but can he tell me the truth? You're not even willing to buy a birthday present for LuLu, you know my temper, Dad said like this, I directly went back in, saying that you are an aunt, buying a birthday present for your niece is a friendship, even if you don't buy it is your duty, you are not a parent, you don't have that kind of obligation, when I said that, Dad kicked me out, saying that I am someone else's daughter-in-law, this family doesn't welcome me, if not welcome me, I would still be happy!
