Chapter 224 Truth
Tang Yu Cheng silently looked at her, after a long while:
He decided to put off investigating the reason behind her sudden desire to return home, and said, “Come on, I’ll take you out for dinner.”
"Mhm, just wait for me, I'll change my clothes in a bit." An Xiaotu nodded in response and turned to walk towards the closet.
Turning away from him, a flicker of relief crossed her eyes.
Fortunately, he didn't press her further about going home. Otherwise, she might have confessed to him out of his persuasion, even though she disliked Luo Haixin. But if that led to a rift between him and his subordinates, affecting his work, it wasn't what she wanted to see.
However, his words of love were quite seductive.
Tang Yucheng specially instructed the kitchen staff of his unit to prepare a separate meal for him, at his own expense.
So, when he took An Xiaotu to the restaurant and stepped into the private room usually reserved for important guests, someone immediately brought out the dishes, arranged them quickly, and then withdrew.
Four dishes and one soup, looking appetizing, color, aroma, and taste are all complete, making people salivate. It is neither extravagant nor wasteful, and the nutrition is evenly matched.
In the spacious private room, there were only Tang Yucheng and An Xiaotu.
"Try this and see if you like it." He said as he served her dishes.
Since An Xiaotu became pregnant, even though there were two of them, she not only didn't gain weight but actually lost some. Tang Yucheng saw it in his eyes and was worried in his heart, he also felt very distressed.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let her get pregnant.
These are new dishes she hasn't tried before, hope she can eat more.
"I can do it myself," Little Rabbit nodded softly in response. His gentle and considerate gesture made her heart feel sweet, a blush of shyness appearing on her cheeks.
Tang Yucheng ate while secretly observing An Xiaotu's expression. Seeing that she seemed like her usual self, with no apparent effect from the thought of returning to her home, and eating happily, he felt much more at ease.
After dinner, Tang Yucheng intended to take An Xiaotu for a walk around the restaurant to aid digestion.
Then, Little Rabbit unexpectedly reacted excessively, insisting on going back to rest. Tang Yucheng's doubts deepened, and his desire to uncover the truth became even more urgent.
An Xiaotu didn't want to wander outside, for fear that she might run into Luo Haixin again by bad luck and upset herself.
……

Evening

Having finally coaxed An Xiaotu to sleep, Tang Yucheng turned and went to his study.
Although the base was heavily guarded with top-of-the-line security systems everywhere; because of his high position as the leader of the entire unit, holding many classified documents and files; even his villa was equipped with the most comprehensive security system, but this was a secret.
Tang Yucheng sat down in his office chair, opened his computer, entered a high-level password, and then skillfully and quickly opened the monitoring system.
I'm going to see what An Xiaotu did today that caused her mood to change so drastically.
At first, the monitor displayed as normal; then after fast-forwarding for a while, around 10 am, a familiar figure appeared on the screen - Luo Haixin.
Tang Yu city saw this, his face sank slightly, furrowed his brow, paused the surveillance, and then retreated, adjusting the progress bar back to normal speed. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the screen.
The further back he looked, the colder and gloomier his face became. In the depths of his dark eyes, a chilling, bone-deep coldness was brewing.
Especially Luo Haixin's ambiguous and suggestive words to An Xiaotu successfully ignited his anger.
