Chapter 790: Your Husband has Your Back

After the new year, Gong Tianhao reluctantly separated from Xiao Lingyu and returned to the imperial palace group in the capital.

“Boss, the people who are monitoring Leng Piaoxue reported that Leng Piaoxue left the capital before the New Year and went abroad,” Yue Qilin reported to Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao raised his eyebrows, “She left without spending the new year with her family?”

Yue Qilin guessed, “Leng Piaoxue’s face is disfigured, but she kept it hidden. She went to the hospital secretly for treatment, but it didn’t work. She probably went abroad for treatment.

“In order to prevent her family from finding out that she was disfigured, she didn’t have any contact with her family. She even avoided the old master Leng, who loved her the most.

“It is said that Leng Piaoxue left the capital without saying a word and went abroad. She didn’t even attend the Leng Family’s Reunion Dinner. Because of this, grandfather Leng was very angry.”

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes, pass down the order to have people keep an eye on her, but remember not to alert the enemy.”

“Yes, Boss!” Yue Qilin replied.

After Yue Qilin left, Li Yuanhang walked into the office, looking a little haggard.

Gong Tianhao asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? You’re on vacation for a few days, but you don’t look like it. It looks like your Qi has been sucked away by a woman.”

Li Yuanhang’s face instantly turned black, and he said snappily, “What do you mean by that? Gong Tianhao, how can you talk like that?” As he said this, he pointed at the dark circles under his eyes and continued, “This is because of you two.”

Gong Tianhao smiled and asked, “How did we cause you to look like this? Don’t randomly accuse others. We were spending the new year in Taoyuan Village, and we didn’t disturb you.”

As he said this, he stopped and asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Are you frustrated because you see us loving each other and you’re alone? So, you went to find a girlfriend?”

“Hmph, no matter how much dogfood you feed me, I still think being single is better. That’s why I won’t make myself suffer and find a woman to bog me down!” Li Yuanhang said indifferently, “Look, I’m living a carefree life on my own. I can go wherever I want and wherever I want. It’s such a beautiful thing to be free.”

Gong Tianhao advised him, “Yuanhang, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to get married and have a family.

“Think about it. When you’re tired from working outside, when you come home, there will be hot food waiting for you. Your wife will even massage your shoulders and back to let you relax. It’s so good.

“Especially when you’re sick, someone can pour for you hot water and buy medicine to accompany you to the hospital. That way, you won’t feel so helpless and lonely.

“It’s better when you have a child. When you come home and see the innocent and romantic smile of the child, you will feel that all the fatigue outside will dissipate. Your heart will feel happy and blissful.”

“…” Li Yuanhang smiled helplessly and said, “Tianhao, it’s better for you to stop talking. Or I might really go and find a woman now.”

Although he felt that the life of a single man was good, like Gong Tianhao said, one would feel lonely once in a while. This was most intense when one was sick. When one was alone, one had to drag their sick body to the hospital alone. When the illness was serious, they had to wait at the hospital alone. Sometimes, they would be hospitalized alone. No one would care for them. It would be really lonely.

However, who could be as lucky as Gong Tianhao?

In the business world, Li Yuanhang was a great contributor who helped Gong Tianhao. He had money, power, and influence. Therefore, the women, who swarmed over, came for his status and power.

Li Yuanhang smiled bitterly and said, “Tianhao, do you think it’s easy for me to find a suitable partner? All the women are coming for my status. It’s impossible for me to choose them.”

Gong Tianhao advised, “Yuanhang, you’re too prejudiced. “I don’t deny that most of those women are looking for your money and status. But there must be some women who really like you. It’s just that you have some prejudice. Don’t ignore those women who really like you.

“Yuanhang, I hope that you will put some of your shrewdness into your work and focus on finding a girlfriend. I believe that you will find a suitable woman who really likes you very soon.”

Gong Tianhao secretly ridiculed himself in his heart. ‘When I did become a matchmaker?’

Li Yuanhang laughed and said, “Alright, hopefully, you’re right.” After saying this, he immediately changed the topic and said with slight dissatisfaction, “By the way, Tianhao, when did your wife’s supermarket become my responsibility?”

Gong Tianhao raised his eyebrows and said, “Since when did it become your responsibility? You’re just responsible for finding the location of the supermarket. As for the rest, the supermarket has its own person-in-charge and management staff. You’re not involved anymore.”

“As if!” Li Yuanhang said angrily, “You know that the vegetables and fruits in your wife’s supermarket are so easy to sell. Why don’t you sell more? You only sell 30,000 catties in a day. How is that enough?”

“So?” Gong Tianhao asked with a smile.

“So?!” Li Yuanhang said unhappily, “I refuse to believe you have no idea what I’m talking about.”

Gong Tianhao just smiled and didn’t answer.

Li Yuanhang continued to grumble, “The supermarket has a first come, first served principle. So many people go to line up early in the morning. But even so, there are still many people who can’t reach there in time to get the stuff they want.

“Some of them heard that I was the one who found the location for the supermarket. Those big bosses called over one after another, wanting to use my connections to see if I could talk to you and reserve a portion for them. Gong Tianhao, do you know how difficult it is for me? This is more difficult than negotiating a big project.”

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “What’s so difficult about it? Just reject them directly. Besides, it’s not like you haven’t sold my wife’s things before.”

“How can it be the same?” Li Yuanhang was about to go crazy. “At that time, I only sold peanuts and peanut oil. If I had the stock, I would sell them. If I don’t, I can help them reserve it. But this is not the same. There is no reservation for the stuff at the supermarket!

“That means that I can only ask these people to go and line up at the supermarket.

“The most troublesome thing is that most of the people who go to the supermarket to buy vegetables are residents nearby. Those residents went to line up early. By the time they finished buying, nearly half of the items in the supermarket had been sold. By the time the big bosses’ people came, what was left for them to purchase?”

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Then, tell them to come back early next time. How is that so hard?”

Li Yuanhang sneered, “I can easily refuse those big business owners, but how can I refuse my family and friends?”

Li Yuanhang was from the capital, so naturally, most of his family and friends were in the capital.

“It’s not so bad for my parents because I can bring some of my fruits and vegetables home. But the problem is that my uncles, aunts, aunts, and other relatives all called me and asked me to get the fruits and vegetables from Green Fresh.

“Especially during the new year, the phone rang from morning to night, from day to night, from night to day. How could I not look like this?”

Gong Tianhao couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Li Yuanhang’s complaints.

Li Yuanhang glared at him and said snappily, “You and your wife are the culprits, but you’re still laughing at me.”

Gong Tianhao laughed a few times before stopping. He nodded his head and said, “Mm, it’s indeed not easy to reject those aunties of yours. How about this? I’ll give my wife a call and ask her to make an exception for you.”

When Li Yuanhang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately urged, “Alright, hurry up and call her now!”

Actually, during the new year, he wanted to call Xiao Lingyu directly. However, after thinking about Xiao Lingyu’s principles, he felt that it was better not to do so.

However, now that Gong Tianhao was calling her personally, it was different.

“…” Gong Tianhao sighed softly, “Alright, I’ll call Yu ‘Er now.”

Just as he was about to make the call, Gong Tianhao suddenly asked, “Oh, right, who will pay for the purchase?”

Based on what Li Yuanhang said, his family and friends like to take advantage of others.

Li Yuanhang’s expression froze for a moment. Then, he said snappily, “Are you afraid that I won’t pay? Alright, I’ll pay first. I definitely won’t take advantage of your wife.”

“Why don’t you try doing that?” Gong Tianhao said with a half-serious and half-joking expression, “I’ll definitely make you remember it for the rest of your life.”

Li Yuanhang’s body suddenly trembled, and he waved his hand, “Alright, I know that you love your wife very much and are very protective of her. Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of your wife at all. I’ll give you as much money as you need. These vegetables and fruits are a little more expensive, but I can still afford to eat them.”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

“Hello…” Xiao Lingyu’s voice sounded from the microphone, “Hubby…”

“Honey, I miss you very much. Did you miss me?” As soon as he picked up the phone, Gong Tianhao started to say sweet words, even using a cloying tone.

Hearing this, Li Yuanhang felt goosebumps all over his body.

It was too mushy!

“I don’t!” Xiao Lingyu’s reply was very straightforward.

Gong Tianhao immediately acted like he was heartbroken. “Sob. My wife doesn’t love me anymore. We have been separated for so long, yet my wife doesn’t miss me?”

Not to mention Li Yuanhang, even Xiao Lingyu felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard this. Then, she smiled and said speechlessly, “If I remember correctly, we only separated in the morning. We haven’t been separated for four hours.”

Gong Tianhao said seriously, “It feels like a century has gone by since we were separated. Of course, I miss you.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

Li Yuanhang, “…”

Although he usually saw Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu showing off their love and affection in front of him, he never knew that Gong Tianhao was so mushy when he talked about love.

Li Yuanhang shook the goosebumps on his body again and said in his heart, ‘It looks like I better stay single. I simply can’t fathom turning into a completely different person like Gong Tianhao.’

Xiao Lingyu asked directly, “Hubby, why are you looking for me?”

Gong Tianhao said sadly, “Honey, can’t I look for you for no reason? Can’t I just call you because I want you to?”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

Li Yuanhang, “…”

Xiao Lingyu sighed softly and said, “Hubby, I miss you too. It’s just that I’m really busy right now. Why don’t I call you back later?” At this moment, she was having a high-level meeting with various supervisors.

Gong Tianhao’s expression immediately became serious as he asked seriously, “Is it about the purchase of the Phoenix Farm Villa?”

Xiao Lingyu did not hide it and nodded, “Yes. I’m interested in the Phoenix Farm Villa, but the people over there immediately refused when they heard that I was interested in buying their farm. I’m having a meeting with the executives to discuss how to buy the Phoenix Villa.”

Hearing this, Gong Tianhao said angrily, “Hmph, they should be grateful that you’re willing to buy their Phoenix Villa. Who else is going to buy from them? Even if someone wants to buy it, the price will be much lower than what you’re offering. They’re really insatiable.”

Xiao Lingyu laughed, “They hate Taoyuan Farm now, so it’s understandable that they don’t want to sell it.”

Phoenix Villa tried to frame Taoyuan Village twice, and it was why it was close to bankruptcy. They had no choice but to sell Phoenix Villa.

They hated Taoyuan Village to the core. When they heard that Taoyuan Village wanted to buy Phoenix Villa, they immediately rejected it without thinking. They also started to believe that this was a ploy by Xiao Lingyu to make the value of Phoenix Villa drop so she could swoop it up at a low price.

It was really funny.

The Phoenix villa was in this state due to their own doing. But they were pushing the blame onto Taoyuan Village.

With such a person managing the Phoenix Villa, it was no wonder that it was about to go bankrupt.

However, Xiao Lingyu had her eyes on the Phoenix Villa.

Gong Tianhao gave her a suggestion and said, “How about this? Yu ‘Er, I’ll buy the Phoenix Resort and give it to you?”

The Phoenix Farm Villa would reject Taoyuan Village, but they wouldn’t reject the other buyers.

Gong Tianhao thought that this suggestion was not bad.

He and Xiao Lingyu were husband and wife. It was only right and proper for him to give her anything.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and refused, “There’s no need. I still want to settle this matter by myself. No matter what, I’ll buy the Phoenix Farm Villa at a reasonable price.”

If she had asked Gong Tianhao, her husband, to solve every problem, she would not be able to grow.

Right now, she wanted to rely on herself to be strong and stand together with Gong Tianhao.

Therefore, she tried her best to rely on herself to solve the problem.

Gong Tianhao obviously knew what Xiao Lingyu was thinking. He said helplessly and dotingly, “Okay, I’ll do whatever you want. But you must remember, if there’s a problem, your husband has your back.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, yes, I know.”

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Okay, you do your work first. After you’re done, give me a call!”

“Okay!”

Li Yuanhang, “…” What am I? Chopped liver?
