    Chapter 12 Eavesdropping

    I need to stick with Daddy!

    When Li Chu woke up the next day, he couldn’t tell where he was for a while. He hugged the pillow and was in a daze for a while before he remembered that this was Shao Mansion.

    He sniffed, his voice muffled, and his head was still a little dazed from a hangover.

    After washing up and changing into clean clothes, I ran into Shao Tingyue as soon as I opened the door.

    The man seemed to have just finished taking a shower, and was only wearing a dark bathrobe loosely tied around his body.The neckline is open, revealing the well-defined chest muscles and collarbone.

    The still dripping black hair was pushed back, and a few strands of disobedient strands hung in front of his forehead. There was a mature male hormone in the usually cold and majestic aura.

    Li Chu paused in his steps. He usually saw Shao Ting Yue wearing a suit with a prim and serious look, and he looked much younger this time.

    Fragmentary scenes from last night flashed through his mind. Li Chu vaguely remembered that he was drunk and a little noisy. He lowered his head and called people in a low voice: “Good morning, second uncle.”

    Shao Tingyue didn’t expect to meet Li Chu so early in the morning. After hearing his obviously nasal voice, he frowned slightly and finally responded with a hum.

    In the small garden restaurant, a sumptuous breakfast has been prepared.

    Aunt Mei brought over two cups of stew, placing one cup in front of Shao Tingyue and the other in front of Li Chu.

    “Second Young Master, Young Master Xiaochu, this is the warming soup that was stewed in the kitchen all morning.” Aunt Mei said with a smile, “The old lady has already gone for a walk in the garden after breakfast.”

    Li Chu said his thanks with a crooked look on his face, picked up the spoon and took a sip.

    People in the Greater Bay Area are keen on all kinds of nourishing soups. They want a bowl when the weather is hot and humid, a bowl when the weather is dry and hot, and a bowl when they are suffering from typhoid and cold.

    Since Li Chu moved into Shao Mansion, he drank too much stew and looked much better.

    Shao Tingyue also took a few sips. His cup had a stronger medicinal flavor and a vague fishy smell.

    After drinking it, the heat in the body that had finally calmed down began to stir again.

    His handsome eyebrows furrowed and he said in a deep voice: “Aunt Mei.”

    Aunt Mei, who was about to retreat, felt her heart skip a beat and quickly turned around: “Second Young Master, what are your orders?”

    “What’s in the soup?”

    Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously: “That’s right… Laoshan ginseng, wolfberry, astragalus, some seahorses, Cistanche deserticola, etc., are all very nourishing…”

    Shao Tingyue: “…”

    It is indeed very tonic. Drinking it will make your whole body covered with evil fire, and you will even have dreams at night.

    Li Chu didn’t understand the efficacy of the medicinal materials. He blinked after hearing this, only thinking that drinking it would be very beneficial to the body.

    But why does Shao Tingyue look wrong?

    “There is no need to stew this kind of soup in the future.” Shao Ting rubbed his brows with a helpless tone.Aunt Mei was an old servant of the family for decades, and he couldn’t bear to be too harsh.

    Aunt Mei responded repeatedly, but she still couldn’t figure out her young master’s thoughts.This isn’t the first time he’s stewed this tonic soup. He usually doesn’t have anything to do with it, so why is he having such a big reaction this time?

    After that day, Shao Tingyue began to disappear. He often came back late at night and left in a hurry early in the morning. It was almost impossible to meet him.

    Even if they met occasionally at dinner, Li Chu felt that Shao Tingyue’s attitude was much colder.

    Uncle Ming quickly arranged Li Chu’s lessons and started learning golf every week.The class location is a top golf course on Hong Kong Island with a quiet environment and first-class facilities.

    “Don’t be so stiff in your wrists, relax a little, and rely on the strength of your waist, abdomen and shoulders…” A personal trainer patiently corrected Li Chu’s movements.

    Li Chu, whose athletic talent was average, tried hard to swing, but the ball rolled out crookedly.

    Someone next to him laughed, and then a familiar male voice sounded: “Young boy? What a coincidence, you are learning to play here?”

    Li Chu looked around and saw James wearing sunglasses and a fashionable golf suit walking over, followed by two young men.

    “I just saw you from a distance, and I thought I was dazzled.” James looked at the young man in front of him, his cheeks were already blushing with warmth, and fine beads of sweat were dotted on his forehead like small pearls.

    Li Chu was a little surprised. He didn’t expect to meet him here.But think about it, golf is a sport for rich people, so it’s normal for him to be here.

    James walked up to him naturally and said enthusiastically: “It’s really not easy to learn at the beginning. Do you want me to teach you a few moves? I’m pretty good at it.”

    Li Chu pursed his lips and wanted to decline politely, but James had already started to demonstrate and explain to him: “Remember, golf stance is very important. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, your wrists should be fixed like this, and your eyes should always be on the ball when swinging…”

    He taught very seriously, but his body came closer inadvertently. When he was giving instructions to adjust the posture, his fingers seemed to touch Li Chu’s hand.

    Li Chu felt a little uncomfortable.

    But due to the lack of affection, I pushed him away directly, so I could only respond vaguely and try to avoid too close contact.

    Not far away, next to another tee box with excellent views.

    Shao Tingyue and his friend Zhong Yili stood side by side.Both were wearing casual golf attire, holding clubs in their hands. They had just finished playing a hole and were taking a break and chatting.

    “I said you have become so stoic over the years that you have almost become a fairy. There are countless ladies and ladies in Hong Kong who are eagerly eyeing the position of the Shao family’s wife, but you don’t like any of them? You should really calm down and consider life-long matters. You can’t really plan to spend your whole life with your boats, right?”

    Zhong Yili is getting married to his childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the Huo family, and they have just finished the ceremony.It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events, but when they start a family, they start to look down on their friends and being alone.

    For people like them, their ancestors have already earned enough money for several generations to squander, so why should they devote so much energy to their careers?Being able to keep the family fortune is already a win.

    It’s better to have a gentle wife in your arms, have a couple of children, and enjoy a happy married life.

    Shao Tingyue glanced at the undulating green in the distance and did not answer the question. He just asked lightly: “Aren’t you busy with a wedding recently, so you still have time to care about my personal affairs? Zhao Hongye didn’t give you any more trouble?”

    When he mentioned Zhao Hongye, the smile on Zhong Yili’s face faded a little, and he snorted coldly: “He suffered a hidden loss last time when he invested in land, and he has calmed down a bit recently. However, I heard that he has been very close to several shipping companies in Southeast Asia recently, and I am afraid he is going for your Shaw family. This person’s methods are dirty, so you have to be careful.”

    Shao Tingyue looked away, as if he had expected it: “It’s just a clown. If he wants to fight, he has to see if he has the appetite to eat things that don’t belong to him.”

    “As long as you know what’s going on.” Zhong Yili nodded, wary of his friend’s thunderous tactics.

    The weather is sunny today and there are many people in the club.

    Zhong Yili stopped talking and looked to the other side, recognizing Li Chu who was practicing: “That…is the young master your family just recognized, right? That one next to him is the Chen family’s youngest son James? They seem to have a good relationship.”

    Shao Tingyue followed his gaze and watched James move behind Li Chu to guide him.

    The young man’s cheeks were flushed with heat, and his expression was somewhat resistant.

    Shao Tingyue tightened his grip on the club, and the air pressure around his body dropped a few degrees.

    “What, are you worried? Do you want to go over and say hello? I happen to know your little nephew.”

    Shao Tingyue was silent for two seconds and did not object. He said “hmm” and walked towards the practice area.Zhong Yili raised his eyebrows and followed with interest.

    Here, James was excited about talking and took his club: “I will show you a standard swing, watch it!”

    He deliberately showed off in front of Li Chu, chose a relatively distant target flagpole, took a good posture, and swung hard——

    However, all I heard was a muffled “pop” sound.

    The small white ball flew out, but it was far away from the target direction, causing several people nearby to laugh softly.

    “Pfft——”

    “Hahahaha, James, are you too nervous? Your ball flew to the side?” (Are you too nervous? Where did your ball fly to?)

    “You are not good at teaching people how to weigh water. Why don’t you wait for me.” (You are not good at teaching people at your level, so why not do it instead?)

    Several companions around him couldn’t help but tease him. Even Li Chu couldn’t help but laugh, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

    James’ face suddenly turned red and white, and he was so embarrassed that he coughed twice and pretended to be calm: “Accident, purely accidental! My hand slipped just now…”

    While everyone was talking and laughing, Shao Tingyue was already standing a few steps away, with a tall and straight figure and a strong sense of oppression.Next to him was the elegant Zhong Yili.

    “Second uncle?” Li Chu was stunned for a moment, not expecting to meet Shao Tingyue here.

    James quickly calmed down when he saw Shao Ting Yue and greeted him respectfully: “Mr. Shao.”

    Shao Tingyue just glanced at him lightly and introduced Zhong Yili to Li Chu: “Chu Zai, this is Zhong Yili. You can just call him Uncle Zhong.”

    “Hello, Uncle Zhong.” Li Chu greeted politely.

    “Hello, kid.” Zhong Yili smiled warmly, “Your second uncle is very good at golf. Why don’t you let him teach you, so you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

    When Li Chu heard this, he looked at Shao Tingyue. Recently, he had been obviously avoiding him. He probably didn’t like him very much. How could this bear-hearted leopard dare to trouble him.

    However, unexpectedly, Shao Tingyue did not refuse.

    Walking to Li Chu’s side in the eyes of everyone, his slender and strong fingers covered the young man’s hand holding the pole, and the other palm was placed on his waist to adjust his stance.

    Li Chu’s expression was a little dull, but he didn’t expect that he was really willing to teach him.

    “Relax your wrists, aim the tiger’s mouth here, spread your feet a little further, and use the strength here when turning around.” His palms pressed slightly on Li Chu’s waist to indicate the core position of the force, “Use your shoulders to drive your arms, like this -”

    His voice, wrapped in the scorching summer wind, fell on Li Chu’s ears, low and magnetic.

    The two were extremely close, and Li Chu could feel the man’s slightly higher body temperature, and his calloused palm completely wrapped his own hand.

    Li Chu’s body was a little stiff, his ears were ringing, and everyone’s attention was focused on them.

    “Keep your eyes on the ball, don’t look away.” Shao Tingyue pinched Li Chu’s palm to draw his attention back, “Now start trying to swing.”

    Li Chu was actually very nervous, but under Shao Tingyue’s guidance, he naturally followed the force and completed the entire process from the take-off to the follow-through.

    “Whoops——”

    The ball drew a beautiful and powerful arc, flew forward steadily, and landed quite well.

    “Good goal!” Zhong Yili took the lead in applauding with a smile.

    People around him couldn’t help but exclaimed. This shot was really beautiful, especially in the hands of the novice Li Chu.

    Li Chu couldn’t believe it. His sparkling peach blossom eyes widened, he looked at the ball in the distance, then at Shao Tingyue beside him, and said sincerely: “Second uncle, you are so amazing…”

    So much better than James who keeps talking!

    Shao Tingyue lowered his eyes, stepped back and looked at Li Chu: “Follow the method just now and practice the standard posture first.”

    “Yes, second uncle.” Li Chu responded quickly, his heartbeat still a little fast.

    Zhong Yili looked around between Li Chu and Shao Tingyue, feeling increasingly interesting.

    Li Chu practiced alone for the next time, and was praised by the coach at the end of the course.

    Sweating all over from practicing, Li Chu went to the locker room to change out of his sportswear.

    The locker room area of ​​the top club is very large, divided into multiple independent compartments and a public rest area. There are not many people at the moment, so it seems particularly quiet.

    Li Chu simply took a shower, changed his clothes and was about to leave.Suddenly, I heard a man’s voice calling from an independent lounge next door.

    I was using a mobile phone, so I guess the indoor signal was average, so I spoke a little louder.

    Li Chu had no intention of eavesdropping, but when he left, he overheard a few key words.

    His footsteps suddenly stopped, and he cautiously approached the door. The voice came out more clearly: “…Yes, Mr. Zhao, don’t worry, everything has been arranged. Shao Tingyue will definitely make a big mistake this time, let’s see how arrogant he is!… Don’t worry, his hands and feet are absolutely clean, and there will be no trace of us…”

    Li Chu was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.It seemed that someone was going to do something bad to the Shao family, so they had to tell Shao Tingyue quickly.

    However, just when he turned around to leave, Li Chu stopped again.He looked back and thought for a moment, then ducked around the corner.

    Shao Tingyue waited for Li Chu in the rest area for half an hour, but he still didn’t see him coming out. He looked at the time on his watch with a calm eye.

    Seeing that his expression was not right, Zhong Yili joked: “It’s rare for you to worry about someone. He is indeed your nephew who has been found after all the hard work. His status is extraordinary.”

    Shao Tingyue was too lazy to pay attention to what he meant. He stood up and looked around. He didn’t see James, and he suddenly felt a little irritated.

    Zhong Yili was joking, but he calmed down when he saw this: “Is your child lost? Why don’t you go in and look for it.”

    Shao Tingyue hummed, without any further hesitation, and walked quickly towards the locker room. However, as soon as he entered a corner, someone grabbed his arm forcefully.

    He reacted very quickly, his muscles tensed instantly, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes after seeing the person clearly.

    Li Chu didn’t give him a chance to ask. He quickly raised a hand and tightly covered his lips with his wet palm——

    A faint aroma lingers in the nose.

    Shao Tingyue frowned, the young man stood on tiptoe, and his soft lips brushed against his ear: “Shh! Second uncle, don’t talk! Someone…”
