"Young Mr. Han, are you not feeling well?" Tao, who had been trying to rearrange Xiao Long's schedule, finally spoke up. How could he not? Tao knew earlier that Xiao Long seemed to be trying to close his eyes, and his hands continued to massage the bridge of his nose. Xiao Long's appearance was not as fresh as usual, as if Xiao Long had barely slept all night.

"Ignore it, I just lacked sleep," Xiao Long replied. How could he not, all night long, he kept Qiao Xin's compress from drying out and made sure that if Qiao Xin's body temperature dropped, he even kept an eye on Qiao Xin's condition. Because Xiao Long didn't want Qiao Xin to get hurt because of her illness, he didn't realize he was paying attention to other people like this, even though he usually doesn't care. Xiao Long took another deep breath, and marriage was the thing that made him completely lose his sanity. However, Xiao Long immediately fell silent. His conversation with his mother-in-law earlier made Xiao Long somewhat wake up. Xiao Long looked at the ring around his ring finger, and he didn't know how long he had to wear the wedding ring now. Temporarily or forever.

​​

"Young Mr Han—"

"Tell me, how is the progress of our branch office in city B, is everything all right? Even though the branch office is nearby, don't we almost never go there in person?" asked Xiao Long cutting off Tao's words. Tao seemed silent, and then he nodded his head.

"Since the Han Corporation focuses on textiles and so on, it looks like our company is in good shape, Young Mr. Han. Especially the idea from Young Mr. Han that our company in city B will cooperate with W Corporation to support the new W Corporation product after they cooperate with our company. Young Mr. Han also more than knows that all the products of our subsidiaries are of the best quality of their kind. So I think everything is safe and under control, if Young Mr. Han wants to go there from time to time, I can reschedule now," Tao said again.

Xiao Long fell silent again, and then he waved his hand. No, Xiao Long was more comfortable here in this condition. In the major company and carrying out his activities here, Xiao Long only sent a few of his best employees to check and research whether there were any irregularities in all of his companies or whether they were all in excellent condition as of now.

"No need, I'm too lazy to meet unimportant people," Xiao Long replied. Tao finally nodded his head.

"Mr. Han, can I speak for a moment?"

One of the directors at his company entered Xiao Long's room, causing Xiao Long to look at Tao to tell Tao to come out. After obediently Tao left, Xiao Long finally nodded, responding to the director's request.

The director was the same age as Xiao Long's father, but the director seemed to be very shy with Xiao Long. How not, who would not hesitate with a figure who rarely smiled. The smile that Xiao Long wore was always a disdainful smile, and a smile with a ghastly expression was extraordinary.

"I would like to tell you a few things related to my suspicions of cheating at the subsidiary that Mr. Han happened to be discussing earlier,"

The director handed Xiao Long a few files, causing Xiao Long to quirk an eyebrow slightly. Take the document, then examine it at a glance.

"So there have been some consumers who have commented negatively in recent years, Mr. Han. There are several productions with the same product but they don't get the same quality of ingredients, when they think if it is a duplicate series from another person, they seem surprised to find out if the product is indeed the result of our company, the price is the same as our best quality product. . The amount is also very good, I suspect that half of the highest quality products sent to the central company are just samples, while lower quality products are intentionally stored and distributed immediately without going through a test process first. Whether it's to take advantage of the production costs, or they take other costs to increase their own profits, obviously I've got some evidence that I put in the document, and as for who did it, I still don't know, Mr. Han. I hope to get permission from Mr. Han to thoroughly investigate this case and hand over the perpetrators directly to Mr. Han,"

Xiao Long still seemed silent, and his jaw seemed to harden with such a sharp gaze. His hand seemed to be playing with a pen, and then he looked at the director with an unreadable expression.

"Continue to investigate, the rest I will intervene myself," he decided.

Getting the green light from his boss, the director looked very happy, and he immediately nodded enthusiastically in response to Xiao Long's words.

"Alright, Mr. Han. I will gladly carry out any orders from Mr. Han. Thank you!" said the director, then left.

Xiao Long looked at Tao, who had just entered, and this rumour fooled even Tao. Xiao Long didn't expect this to happen.

"What is it, Young Mr. Han?"

"Why don't you know about this big problem?" Xia Long said. Tossed the document to Tao and was immediately looked at carefully by Tao. Reading the document, Tao seemed to be shocked, and then he looked at Xiao Long with an extremely guilty expression.

"Young Mr. Han, I'm sorry. I really don't know if something like this happens."

"Has the public relations division never checked anything like this? And the law firm that works in our company didn't see and investigate this? What have they been doing all this time? If they are not good then just fire them from the company!"

Tao immediately lowered his face, looking at Xiao Long, who was already furious. Xiao Long's anger is a very terrible thing. How not, Tao knows very well who Xiao Long is, and if Xiao Long gets angry, there is nothing he can do to satisfy him until his orders are very clearly granted.

"Young Mr. Han, I will take care of this now, please give them some time to work. I promise to give you the best news as soon as possible."

"When?" Xiao Long asked then, looking at Tao with a cold gaze.

"In two months time I will give Young Mr. Han an answer,"

"Two weeks, if in two weeks you guys can't expose the stupidity going on at my company, I'm going to go down on my own and fire these useless people,"

Tao looked back at Xiao Long, and he seemed to be silent for a moment. Tao knows, once Xiao Long has said A, it cannot be changed or contested at all. All Tao can do is obey. What's more? Tao is just a subordinate, and he is not a boss that Xiao Long can negotiate with.

"Alright, Young Mr. Han."

*****

This afternoon, Qiao Xin seemed to be quite confused. How could it not be, after the private tutor didn't show up at all, Qiao Xin had to wait for Xiao Long to come home from work? Even though Qiao Xin couldn't practice on her own, she completely forgot some of the moves that were the basis of the dance. Even though she tried looking on the internet, the result was the same.

Now Qiao Xin can only sit resignedly in the room, waiting for the arrival of Xiao Long, who never came. The night was almost over and enveloped the entire city.

Again, Qiao Xin stood up, and she couldn't help but wait and do nothing. Even she had purposely told her in-laws not to be disturbed at all, now all Qiao Xin had to do was stay focused, be confident, and practice. She was sure that miracles were possible. Qiao Xin doesn't want to trust Xiao Long anymore, and the man is only good at boasting and selling promises without being able to keep them at all.

Even though it was Xiao Long himself, who said that if he was going home in the afternoon to teach her how to dance, how come Xiao Long didn't come home almost at night, making Qiao Xin's heart even more irritated.

"Qiqi, eat first. You must be very hungry, and maybe Xiao Long will be home a little late. You know, your husband always forgets the time when he works. Always come home late and almost midnight. So I think, let's just say today is your day off, okay? You also just recovered, don't push yourself. Tomorrow I promise to call your private tutor again. After all, tomorrow is also the last day, so just enjoy it. No one will see how you dance, Qiqi. If all eyes are on you, you are quite indifferent, and continue to follow Xiao Long's footsteps, isn't Mother's idea very bright?" said her mother-in-law, who had just entered Qiao Xin's room.

Hearing those words from her mother-in-law made Qiao Xin seem a lot calmer. However, Qiao Xin did not deny that she was annoyed with Xiao Long. Yes, Qiao Xin was the type of person who always kept a promise. She cherished a promise the most, and what Xiao Long did was break a promise, an act that made Qiao Xin annoyed. One of the attitudes of someone Qiao Xin despised was a liar, a broken promise, and a traitor. And it seems Xiao Long has it all.

"Let mom. Then I'll take a shower first, then I'll just rest," Qiao Xin finally decided, smiling stiffly, then saw her mother-in-law come out of the room.
