The two of them remained silent, with Tao Zhi occasionally breathing in pain, until Gong Cheng spoke first.

"Cheng Xiu was ignorant and hurt Mr. Tao. I apologize to you on her behalf." Gong Cheng said.

again!

Tao Zhi felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard this. He raised his other leg and kicked Gong Cheng on the shoulder.

Since she couldn't kick him, she simply put her white feet on Gong Cheng's shoulders and leaned forward, not paying attention to Patrick's underwear exposed under his bathrobe.

"Really? From what position are you going to apologize on her behalf? As her boyfriend?" Tao Zhi looked sarcastic.

Gong Cheng raised his head.

"He is my brother." Gong Cheng replied.

Tao Zhi laughed as if he heard a joke.

"I didn't know your mother gave birth to a younger sister for you." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Gong Cheng pursed his lips and remained silent, as if he didn't want to answer this question. He just quietly placed his fingers on the ankle that was stepping on his shoulder, and gently grabbed the ankle and took it off.

Tao Zhi frowned and struggled to kick again, but Gong Cheng held his hand and did not move at all.

Gong Cheng lowered his head and continued to treat his wounds. Seeing that Tao Zhi couldn't struggle free, he pouted and crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking critically at Gong Cheng's movements, with an air of superiority.

Neither of them spoke again until the matter was resolved. Tao Zhi stood up and was about to leave, but Gong Cheng behind him hesitated for a few breaths and called out to him.

"Mr. Tao, could you please show some mercy?"

"Let go of Gu Chengxiu, the new prey, and don't get close to her again." Gong Cheng said.

Tao Zhi's pupils constricted when he heard this and he turned back suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think I've been busy in front of you all this time because I've fallen in love with her and want to play with her?" Tao Zhi's anger grew.

Gong Cheng noticed the anger in Tao Zhi's eyes and was stunned for a moment.

Is not it?

Deliberate investigation trips, constant "chance encounters", various ways of approaching and chatting her up.

Isn't it because he treated her as a new prey, just like he treated his ignorant self back then?

Gong Cheng was unable to ask these questions.

Tao Zhi rushed over, grabbed Gong Cheng by the collar, gnashed his teeth, and looked murderous.

"I've been busy for so long because of you, not because of that Gu Chengxiu."

"I've endured all the physical harm that Gu Chengxiu has done to me over the past month to show off my presence in front of you."

Just to let you abuse me and take revenge on me, to make you feel good, and to give you and Gu Dongnan a happy ending after abusing the scum.

"And then you told me that you never thought of any way to get there. You actually thought that I was working so hard just to chase after that nonsense Gu Chengxiu!" Tao Zhi was furious.

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

Mr.'s investigation and "chance encounters" during this period were for yourself and not for Gu Chengxiu?

Sir, are you deliberately approaching me?

An inexplicable wave of emotions surged in Gong Cheng's heart, causing pain in his lungs. However, after a few breaths, Gong Cheng managed to suppress it.

Seeing Gong Cheng's dazed look, Tao Zhi became furious. He pushed Gong Cheng away and walked out tremblingly.

After all this time, it turned out that he was busy doing nothing. Tao Zhi was furious.

Gong Cheng did not stop him. He just looked at Tao Zhi's back with a gloomy expression.

I just heard that the gentleman has been deliberately approaching me these days just for me, and I was actually a little happy about it.

I almost forgot that my husband is a person who gets bored easily.

I guess it's because my current self has made my husband interested in playing again, so he started playing the old game of cat and mouse again.

Even if I can get the gentleman again, it will only be temporary. When the gentleman loses interest, I will be back to my original state. I will watch him push me away for the second time, but I can do nothing about it.

In this case, it would be better not to step into the gentleman's crudely made trap in the first place, so as to avoid making yourself look so miserable.

Tao Zhi regretted it as soon as he left the house.

Why are you angry with Gong Cheng?

I am here to annoy Gong Cheng, not to be annoyed by him.

Just now, Gong Cheng told me not to get close to Gu Chengxiu. I could totally seize this opportunity to climb up the ladder and go against Gong Cheng, saying that I wanted to play with Gu Chengxiu, and then give a long speech elaborating on my love for Gu Chengxiu. This would surely anger Gong Cheng.

Anyone would be angry if a scumbag targeted their important sister.

What a great opportunity!

Tao Zhi felt tired, thinking that he had been too impulsive.

Tao Zhi looked at his own horrible legs and knew that he could not continue his role today, so he had to leave the racecourse early and go home to lie down.

He lay there for half a month.

It’s not that Tao Zhi wanted to lie down for half a month, but he couldn’t find Gong Cheng’s whereabouts in this half month.

Tao Zhi turned over in bed out of boredom and was about to start a new game when someone called him. Seeing it was Xu Yanze, Tao Zhi answered the call.

"I'm back from a business trip. Do you want to walk the dog together today?" Xu Yanze's cold voice came.

In the past three years, because Xu Yanze and Tao Zhi lived close to each other, they would occasionally meet each other while walking the dog. So, they didn't know when it started, but the two of them tacitly started to make appointments to walk the dog together, and after walking the dog, they would find a roadside stall to eat some skewers and drink some wine.

"I can't take a walk today. My leg is injured and I can't walk too long." Tao Zhi said.

Xu Yanze frowned when he heard this.

"What happened?" Xu Yanze asked.

"It's nothing, I just fell down. I'm old and can't stand falls. If I fall down, half of my leg will be in the coffin." Tao Zhi joked.

"I'll be there right away." Xu Yanze said as he walked out.

"Okay, but don't worry. When you come over, buy me a bag of peach cakes from the same store we usually buy from." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

"Okay." Xu Yanze replied.

Xu Yanze walked to the door and was about to call A Long to drive, when Ah Hu happened to be picking peaches from the peach tree in the yard and putting them into the bamboo basket hanging on his arm.

Xu Yanze walked towards Ah Hu, who was chewing a juicy peach, then took out a peach from the basket and handed it to Xu Yanze.

"Sir, these are freshly picked and still hot. Would you like one?" Ah Hu asked happily.

Xu Yanze reached out and took the basket from Ah Hu's arm.

"Pick it again."

After Xu Yanze finished speaking, he picked up the basket and called A Long to go out.
