When Bai Tao pushed open the door, she saw Luo He smiling at his phone screen. The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows bathed his sharp profile, even his eyelashes shimmering with a golden hue.
Seeing her, Luo He's eyes lit up with surprise. He quickly typed, "Work first," and put his phone away.
"What's up?" Luo He leaned lazily back in his chair, his tie loose around his neck, revealing his sexy collarbones.
Bai Tao took a deep breath and walked to the desk. "We need to talk."
"Hmm?" Luo He casually scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, his focus seemingly unbothered.
Watching him eat so elegantly, Bai Tao suddenly felt speechless. This ruthless, decision-making CEO was now eating home-cooked meals, a grain of rice still on his mouth—how was she supposed to deal with this absurdly charming scene?
"My family is taking this way too seriously!" Bai Tao finally found her voice. "My mom woke up at four in the morning to make soup, and my dad even bought a thermos..."
She got more worked up as she spoke but failed to notice how tightly Luo He gripped his spoon.
"Do you know why they're doing this? Because they think you're..."
"I know."
Luo He suddenly looked up, a tear unexpectedly sliding down his cheek.
Bai Tao froze.
The man who had ruthlessly attacked his competitors in the boardroom was now blinking back tears. His voice was hoarse as he said, "This is the first time anyone has prepared breakfast for me."
Sunlight reflected off his eyelashes, the tear rolling down his perfect jawline, landing with a soft thud on the desk.
Bai Tao's heart squeezed painfully.
"From now on, whether this is real or not..." Luo He suddenly grabbed her hand, his palm warm. "I'll always honor them."
His thumb lightly brushed her wrist, carrying an undeniable force: "Including you."
Bai Tao fled, her mind filled with the image of Luo He's red-rimmed eyes and his words: "Including you."
