Chapter 782: I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.
Fang Mu’s official Weibo post silenced a certain rich second generation.
When the CEO himself steps up to dismiss the rumors, what room is there for rebuttal?
In a short time, the matter was resolved, but after clearing up Cao Yixuan’s situation, Tang Ze disappeared once again. Granted, he had made his stance clear, but didn’t he need to explain his own issues?
Come on, at least pay some attention to yourself!
However, Tang Ze had no plans to speak out because he wanted to maintain his dignity and decency.
Cao Yixuan had no idea about this episode since she was focused on her work the whole time. It wasn’t until she finished and Sun Ling returned her phone that she learned what had happened — Sun Ling told her with a mysterious smile, “This morning, a hero saved a beauty, hoping the beauty would be grateful and devote herself to him!” Check latest chapters at novèlfire.net
Cao Yixuan was confused until Sun Ling pushed her into Tang Ze’s office.
“Bro, work’s over, go home and do whatever you need to…”
Tang Ze stopped his work, grabbed his coat from the hanger, and approached Cao Yixuan: “Let’s go.”
Cao Yixuan, still unaware of what had happened, was taken to the car by Tang Ze.
Tang Ze drove, but he didn’t plan to initiate conversation. When Cao Yixuan saw he wasn’t talking, she went online to check and got the full story.
“I’ve never met this rich second generation alone,” Cao Yixuan explained.
“Hmm,” Tang Ze nodded slightly, but his intentions were unclear.
“And I certainly didn’t… while taking advantage…”
“If you were really adept at playing both sides, you wouldn’t have suffered so much,” Tang Ze chuckled.
“Then why did you respond? It’s not true anyway and I wasn’t around…”
“I care,” Tang Ze cut her off directly, “You’re not without protection, why should you suffer?”
Cao Yixuan felt as if she’d drunk honey, sweet to her core, and couldn’t help but steal a smile.
After a while, she finally noticed that Tang Ze had driven her directly to her apartment building: “Going back to my place?”
Tang Ze parked the car, unbuckled both their seat belts, then turned to Cao Yixuan, “I don’t have a home, so from now on, think about taking me in.”
Cao Yixuan’s face once again reddened to her neck.
How can such a naive man suddenly speak so flirtatiously?
“No issues with your house, right?” Cao Yixuan thought he really had financial problems.
“I’m not comfortable there, so I plan to sell it. Check out some larger flats when you have time; I don’t have much stuff, but you’re my main concern.”
Weren’t they just starting to express their feelings? Now they’re already planning to move in and buy a house together?
Cao Yixuan hesitated for a second, then hurriedly got out of the car. As she did, she noticed Tang Ze was on a call.
“Boss, isn’t it inappropriate to call at this time?”
Shi Lan checked his phone screen after hearing Tang Ze’s words, making sure it was Tang Ze who was speaking. Indeed, once a man gets what he wants, he shows a different side.
“I don’t agree with you taking Cao Yixuan back.”
“Boss, I have no intention of taking her; things are good as they are now,” Tang Ze stated directly, “but her private time can belong to me, right?”
It turns out that there are no straightforward men in this world; it’s just that they have yet to meet someone they like.
“Is it settled then?”
“Settled,” Tang Ze affirmed, looking at Cao Yixuan with unwavering determination.
“Once it’s settled, you should clear up your own issues. You can’t expect Cao Yixuan to be involved with a man with a tarnished reputation, can you?”
“Understood. Aren’t we still waiting on a report from the police?”
Shi Lan didn’t say much more and prepared to hang up, not wanting to delay Tang Ze’s moment, a rare opportunity for him to open up.
Tang Ze put down his phone with a smile, turning to look at Cao Yixuan, but at that moment, her phone also started to ring.
Tang Ze walked over, took the phone from Cao Yixuan’s hand, and said, “If you keep taking calls, they’ll never end. Don’t you want to spend some quality time alone with me?”
“I…” Cao Yixuan was about to respond.
The two of them entered the elevator hand in hand, but because it was the wrong setting, they did not speak until Cao Yixuan unlocked the door with her fingerprint and they entered. Only then did Tang Ze press Cao Yixuan against the wall and kissed her: “Sorry, I couldn’t hold back.”
Cao Yixuan awkwardly accepted the kiss from the man, but her heart was pounding in excitement. At that moment, she was experiencing the scenario she had longed for, the scene she had imagined over and over; her wish was finally coming true.
So, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around the man’s waist, holding him tightly until their breaths grew rapid, and they finally released each other’s lips.
Then, Tang Ze lifted the hair from Cao Yixuan’s ear and asked, “Do you want to take it slow or… go all the way?”
Cao Yixuan, clutching his clothes, felt weak in the knees, “It’s up to you.”
This time, Tang Ze couldn’t hold back, picked up Cao Yixuan, and carried her to the bedroom.
“I don’t want to go all the way, afraid I might hurt you, but the taste of just now was too good; I want to savor it again.”
Cao Yixuan was stunned; she had never associated Tang Ze with performing such actions.
The two lingered in the bedroom for a while, and by the time Tang Ze came out, it was already dark.
He hadn’t taken Cao Yixuan because, as Shi Lan said, he still had unresolved issues. How could he ensure the future of the one he held dearest?
