Han Lingshi was stunned when she saw Mrs. Hao on the door beside Hao Ren, and vice versa. Mrs. Hao did not expect to meet Han Lingshi as soon as she reached home. Hao Ren looked at the two of them, he could not help but chuckle at the situation. They wanted to surprise him but they were surprised themselves.
He yelled, "Surprise!!"
Mrs. Hao and Han Lingshi woke up from the daze and the old lady pinched the arm of her son and twisted the flesh in her death grip. Hao Ren sucked in a cold breath and cried, "Maa!! It hurts, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Hao let go of his arm and smiled at Han Lingshi, "I did not expect you to be welcoming me, thank you, Lingshi."
Han Lingshi also regained her composure and bowed slightly as she reached out to take Mrs. Hao's hand and bring her inside the house. However, she did not forget to turn around and glare at Hao Ren.
The young man sighed and took the luggage from Heath as he entered the house. In the house, Han Lingshi was showing Mrs. Hao around the house and Hao Ren asked, "Did you finish your work over there?"
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Yup, its settled. Lingxue also came back she will be coming over tomorrow."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I should get her a gift, no?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "Forget it, she is not a child, you have already solved her biggest trouble."
Mrs. Hao came out of a room and said, "Ren, this is a good place."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Why don't you and dad move over?"
Mrs. Hao shook her head and said, "Mei is still there, how can we move back?"
Hao Ren nodded, and then he suddenly thought of something. He said, "I will be going back to the company, I have a few things to deal with."
Han Lingshi furrowed her brows and said, "Your mom has just come and you want to leave?"
Her voice contained a hint of complaint. Hao Ren sighed and wanted to say something when Mrs. Hao said, "Don't worry, I want to rest anyways. Ren, go. Come back soon in the evening."
Hao Ren nodded and left the house quickly. Han Lingshi was not a fool, she could sense something was off between the two of them. Mrs. Hao sighed, and when she saw Han Lingshi's contemplating expression, she asked, "Are you thinking what's wrong between the two of us?"
Han Lingshi was stunned but then she nodded, after all, since the elder has already seen through her thoughts, it was only right for her to reveal it.
Mrs. Hao sat down on the couch and said, "Tomorrow, is his birthday."
Han Lingshi opened her eyes wide and realized that she did know it was Hao Ren's birthday. After she snapped out of her thoughts, Mrs. Hao asked, "Are you thinking why the atmosphere is so dull, when its his birthday?"
Han Lingshi patted the back of his hand and said, "Go, take a shower, I will set up the food for you on the table."
Hao Ren nodded, and after a deep breath he left the living room to take a shower. He came back and saw Han Lingshi moving food from the kitchen to the dining table. The woman was wearing a white one piece dress, looking very elegant. He sighed, and she turned to look at him with a smile.
She asked, "What are you thinking?"
Hao Ren neared her and then said, "I am thinking how fortunate I am to find a beauty like you."
As he was talking he placed his hand on her waist, but Han Lingshi smacked his hand away as she looked inside the house and said, "Aunty is here, control yourself."
Hao Ren pursued his lips and Han Lingshi chuckled. Then she served him with the food, and asked, "What do you plan to do tomorrow?"
Hao Ren replied, "I am heading to the town nearby in the morning. The Ye family has been making moves that is hindering my business. I have to take care of that."
Han Lingshi furrowed her brows and asked, "What do you mean? What business do you have that could be affected by the Ye family?"
Hao Ren told her about his involvement with the Magnificent cosmetics and Wilma Fey. He also told her the thing the Ye family had been doing over these past few days, and how they were hindering him. Han Lingshi tapped the table with her fingers and said, "Why didn't you set up a company of your own?"
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Acquiring a set company is better, but Magnificent is not for sale, that much is sure. I will collaborate with them and earn money from them, at the same time I am buying their stocks without attracting their attention. I only seek equal profit so I will allow them to buy the stocks back in the future if they want to."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Do as you may see fit. I shall leave for the night."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Leave in the morning, sleep in your room. Mom would like to see you in the morning."
Han Lingshi said, "Aunty has taken my room, and she is snoring, I can't sleep there."
Hao Ren looked at her and suddenly, the familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind, *Ding: Host, your wife has some expectations, but she also hesitates. Take control and lead her to experience a night filled with love.*
Hao Ren smiled at Han Lingshi and said, "Why don't you stay with me for the night?"
Han Lingshi opened her eyes wide and the young man said, "You would have to live in the same room eventually, no? Why not take tonight as a trial? I swear, I will not cross any boundaries."
His words and expectant eyes made Han Lingshi tremble, she did not think Hao Ren would anticipate her arrival in his room, so much. The reason Hao Ren was able to do it was because the rest of the bedrooms did not have any furniture in them.
Han Lingshi shook her head and wanted to say something when Hao Ren said, "Lingshi, I missed you."
He then placed his hand on her hand and asked, "Do you not trust me?"
