    Chapter 67 God’s Blessing I do, Daddy!

    In the conference room of Shaw Towers, dense text scrolled across the screen on the projector.

    There were people sitting on both sides of the long, heavy solid wood table.The senior management of the group, the heads of important departments, and several directors who flew back from overseas branches.

    Everyone was sitting upright, staring at the documents in their hands and not daring to show their composure.

    Shao Tingyue sat in the main seat with a leisurely posture, occasionally flipping through a few pages of documents with his fingers, but he had an aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

    The person reporting the report was the person in charge of the shipping department. He had worked in Shaw Brothers for more than ten years and was considered an old man.He stood next to the projector and quickly went through the key points in the report one by one.

    “…Based on the above factors, the risk assessment of this new route is medium to upper, and the cost is expected to be recovered within three years.”

    He put down the laser pointer in his hand and looked up at the host.

    Shao Tingyue did not speak immediately. He turned to the last few pages of the report and asked calmly: “How much did you use for the fuel cost budget for the third quarter?”

    The person in charge was stunned for a moment and pulled out his notes: “Based on the international oil price of US$28 per barrel, the floating range is plus or minus five percent.”

    Shao Tingyue raised his eyes and looked at him: “Half a month ago, news of production cuts came out in the Middle East. The benchmark of twenty-eight dollars is no longer applicable.”

    The person in charge’s back tensed up instantly, and he replied quickly: “Well… we have indeed considered the fluctuation of oil prices, but the news of production reduction has not been officially implemented yet, so…”

    Shao Tingyue’s voice was still calm, but there was a sense of calmness and authority, “We will adjust the budget after landing. Do you plan to let the fleet park there and wait?”

    Beads of sweat broke out on the other person’s forehead.

    “Adjust the benchmark to thirty-two U.S. dollars.” Shao Tingyue lowered his head and continued to look through the documents, “Relax the risk control range to ten percent. Make a new budget.”

    “Yes.”

    The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead. Before he could calm down after sitting down, he saw Liang Wei walking in from outside, leaning over Shao Tingyue, and said a few words in a low voice.

    Then his boss signaled a pause in the report, got up and strode out of the conference room.

    Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion, wondering what had happened. The boss actually stopped such an important meeting.

    Shao Tingyue pushed open the office door and saw Li Chu sitting on the sofa.

    Seeing him come in, the child’s beautiful little face tensed up, and with a “pop” sound, he threw the magazine in his hand on the coffee table in front of him.

    “Second uncle, tell me, is this your order?”

    Shao Tingyue walked over, picked up the magazine, flipped it through and knew what was going on.

    He put the magazine back on the coffee table, sat down next to the boy, and wanted to hold his hand.

    Li Chu hid with a cold face: “Speak.”

    Shao Tingyue lowered his eyes and looked at him. Without answering directly, he stretched out his hand and directly took the person into his arms: “Why are you angry?”

    Li Chu struggled a bit but didn’t pull away: “You are not allowed to hug me, you haven’t answered me yet.”

    Shao Tingyue lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead indifferently.

    “Shao Tingyue!” The child stared with a pair of peach blossom eyes, like a fried kitten.

    As a result, he pushed forward with a slap, but the force was not restrained, and he accidentally slapped the man’s jaw.

    The female staff member who opened the door and prepared to pour tea was stunned. She looked at the young man who hit the boss in shock. She met the man’s oppressive gaze and quickly retreated.

    Li Chu looked at the red marks on his face, pursed his lips and said nothing.

    Shao Tingyue grabbed the boy’s hand, put it to his lips, kissed it, and asked, “Baby, have you come over for lunch?”

    “So what if you eat, so what if you don’t. Don’t change the subject.”

    Shao Tingyue kissed the back of his hand again, “It must be because he didn’t eat, otherwise why wouldn’t the beating hurt?”

    Why is this person like this?

    Li Chu was angry, bit his lip and said: “Daddy, I’m not kidding you!”

    Shao Tingyue looked at his appearance, and his heart felt so soft. He leaned closer and kissed his lips: “It’s just boring news made by gossip paparazzi. No one will remember it in a few days.”

    “How dare they post such photos without Shaw Brothers’ consent?” Li Chu raised his eyes and looked directly at him, “I call you Daddy, do you really think I’m a three-year-old?”

    Shao Tingyue looked at him, his sun twitched twice.

    Children become smarter after they start a company.In the past, he had to think for a long time before reacting to such a tortuous matter.It’s better now, I can see through it at a glance.

    When Li Chu saw that he didn’t speak, he became even more angry: “Why don’t you deny it?”

    “Why should we deny it if it’s true?”

    “…”

    “BB.” Shao Tingyue held Li Chu’s hand and did not let him break away this time. “Sooner or later, people will know about our affairs. Since they want to film it, let them film it. You are my person, it is not a shady secret.”

    Li Chu didn’t know what to say. Of course he knew what Shao Tingyue was thinking, but what would people outside think?

    It is said that the ship king of the Shaw family likes men, and that the future of the Shaw family is going to be doomed… The worst thing to hear is that he is so lustful that he is blinded by a boy of unknown origin!

    He was afraid of affecting the Shaw family, afraid of affecting everyone in the Shao family, and also afraid that grandma would be sad after hearing these unpleasant words…

    “Second uncle, I feel very happy that we have achieved today’s results. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. I don’t care whether you have other people’s approval or not.” The child’s eyes were moist and bright, but he was still a little angry. He bit his lip and threatened: “Next time you do this again, I will…”

    “BB, I don’t think there is anything wrong with this matter, and you are not allowed to say those two words.”

    Because of this incident, Li Chu became more and more at odds with Shao Ting.

    With a sullen face and no matter how hard he tried to coax him, Shao Ting asked the driver to pick him up at the company, but it was all in vain. The child had already run back to Shao’s mansion.

    The old lady was sitting in the side hall watching fish.

    She has kept the chubby koi carp in the tank for many years. They are red, white and golden and swim leisurely in the water.

    Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head and saw Li Chu walking in sullenly.

    The old lady immediately smiled and said, “My dear grandson is back, what’s wrong with you?”

    Li Chu shook his head, sat down next to her and hugged her gently.

    The old lady looked at him and didn’t ask any questions. She just patted his hand and said, “You’re just in time to feed the fish with grandma.”

    She has a clear mind.

    Chuzai was having trouble with her bastard son.

    Her son, who has been at the top for so many years, acts vigorously and resolutely. He just does whatever he wants and never cares what others think or say.

    This time, it’s okay, it’s a piece of cake.

    The old lady curled her lips, hoping to let Chu Tsai temper his temper.Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, and one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer. It’s okay for Chu Tsai to come back and accompany him.

    The two of them just sat there, talking.

    The old lady enthusiastically told the gossip about the old sisters, explaining that Mingchen has been getting busier and busier recently, flying all over the world, and recently went to Las Vegas.

    Speaking of this old lady, she couldn’t help but scolded her: “What fun is there in Las Vegas? I think Ming Chen will go there once every ten days and a half, and it’s not too tiring to fly. Both of them, uncle and nephew, are not easy to worry about.”

    Li Chu deliberately stayed at Shao Mansion in the evening and did not return to No. 12 Repulse Bay.After having a happy dinner with the old lady, he returned to his room.

    Uncle Ming still had the custom-made human-shaped pillow for him, and he hugged it to sleep after taking a shower.

    Shao Tingyue usually slept with him in his arms, but suddenly he was not used to sleeping alone.After rolling on the bed for a while, I finally managed to fall asleep.

    I don’t know how long it took, but the door to the small terrace was gently opened, and a tall figure walked in from the night.

    The misty moonlight fell on the bed through the pure white gauze curtains.

    The boy was sleeping soundly, with the side of his cheek buried in the pillow, making a small soft curve.The long and thick eyelashes cover the eyes, casting a small shadow.The lips were slightly pursed, moving gently with even breathing.

    The moonlight shines on the small hair on his face, like a layer of stardust.

    He hugged the pillow with one leg hanging on it, like an insecure little animal.

    Shao Tingyue bent down, gently took away the obstructive pillow and threw it aside, then lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

    Li Chu moved in his sleep, subconsciously rubbing against the man’s warm body and murmuring vaguely.

    The boy was woken up by a kiss just before dawn. The hot lips pressed against the back of his neck and kissed him little by little, from behind his ears to his shoulders, reverently and tenderly.

    Li Chuyi thought he was dreaming at first.Until the calloused palm came up, all the way down from his chest and caressed his waist, his tailbone instantly softened.

    He opened his eyes drowsily, confused as to where he was.

    The man was still kissing him, and his heartbeat and breathing could be heard clearly.

    “Second uncle…?” The child was confused and did not wake up.

    “Yeah.” The man’s voice came from behind the ear, low and hoarse.

    Li Chu remembered that they were quarreling, so he didn’t say anything and pushed him.

    Shao Tingyue chuckled and turned him over to face him.His eyes were burning in the darkness, with shocking desire: “BB has ignored her husband for two days, isn’t it enough?”

    Li Chu pursed his lips and turned his head.

    Shao Ting chased after him more and kissed his lips, as if he wanted to fill up the blank space in the past two days.

    Li Chu was so sleepy that his eyelashes trembled and his voice was soft: “…it’s not enough.”

    The feather-like kiss continued to fall on his small and beautiful Adam’s apple, then passed over his chest and landed on his belly that was rising slightly due to breathing.

    The man’s eyebrows were deep in thought, his fingers brushed against a glistening stain of water, and he put it to his lips and tasted it: “BB, it’s okay to quarrel, but it’s not okay to run away from home and sleep in separate rooms.”

    In the early morning, Shao Mansion gradually woke up, the clear sunlight shone on the swimming pool, and the servants began to get busy.

    Li Chu was held in the man’s arms, his cheek resting on his shoulder, his eyelashes were wet, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his whole body was like a flower wet by the rain.

    Shao Tingyue lowered his head and kissed the sweat off his forehead: “BB are you still angry?”

    Li Chu didn’t even want to lift his fingers and didn’t have the strength to answer him, so he slept until the afternoon and didn’t wake up.

    Everyone in the Shao Mansion knew that the second young master came back last night, and no one dared to disturb them.Even though the servants were working downstairs, they deliberately kept their voices down.

    The old lady was sitting in the side hall drinking tea, and Uncle Ming was waiting beside her.

    “It’s rare for Chu Tsai to come back to stay with me, and he just chases me and snatches me away.” The old lady put down the tea cup and snorted, “Is he a dog? He came just because he smelled it.”

    Uncle Ming suppressed his laughter and did not dare to answer.

    “I haven’t talked enough to Chu Tsai yet. It’s good for him. Why do you think I don’t know this in the middle of the night?”

    Uncle Ming finally spoke: “Old madam, the second young master also misses young master Xiao Chu.”

    The old lady picked up the teacup again and took a sip: “…Forget it. Let the kitchen stew some tonic and bring it to them when they wake up. Chuzi has lost weight recently.”

    Uncle Ming responded and stepped back to make arrangements.

    The old lady sighed leisurely, her son was only good at this.

    Li Chu hugged the pillow and refused to get up. His lower back and legs were sore. The culprit came in with a stew pot. When he saw him awake, he put the tray on the bedside table.

    “Come here and have something to eat.”

    Li Chu glared at him and buried his face in the pillow.

    Shao Tingyue reached out to touch his head, but was slapped away.

    “Don’t touch me.”

    “Still angry?”

    “Hmph.”

    The man sighed and sat down by the bed: “Husband, will I take you to the company?”

    “No.” Li Chu’s muffled voice came from the pillow, “I also have a car and a driver.”

    Shao Tingyue looked at the furry back of his head and suddenly felt a little emotional.

    The children have really grown up.

    In the past, when there was an quarrel, it would be better if he was coaxed, and he would become softer after a hug.

    Now I have my own ideas. If you are unhappy, you are unhappy. It is not easy to lose your temper.

    He had an important meeting in the afternoon and couldn’t put it off any longer, so he had to kiss the young man’s hair: “My husband has something to do and has to go back to the company. Be good and I will pick you up to eat at a delicious restaurant in the evening?”

    “No.”

    “Then let’s go to Happy Valley to watch the horse racing in the evening? The dinner there is also good.”

    “Don’t either.”

    Shao Tingyue looked at him and curled his lips: “What do you want, bb? My husband is fine.”

    Li Chu finally raised his head from the pillow, revealing a pair of shining peach blossoms: “…you go.”

    Shao Ting smiled more and continued to kiss him on the forehead: “We’ll talk about it tonight.”

    Li Chu stayed on the bed for another half an hour before slowly getting up.After washing up and eating something, he asked the driver to take him to Wen Sitong’s store.

    Wen Sitong has now opened his eighth branch and is extremely busy every day.

    But whenever she sees Li Chu coming to the store, she will come out to greet him personally.Today was no exception. As soon as I saw him, I greeted him with a smile on my face.

    “Xiao Chu is here! Sit down, sit down!”

    Li Chu sat down in the corner, and Wen Sitong brought two bowls of sugar water and sat down opposite him.

    “What’s wrong? You don’t look good? Didn’t you sleep enough last night?”

    Li Chu’s cheeks were slightly red, he shook his head, picked up a spoon and drank the sugar water.

    Wen Sitong smiled understandingly: “Did Xiaochu and Mr. Shao get into trouble? Oh, it’s normal for two people to have friction together. But, even if they quarrel, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other anymore, right?”

    Li Chu’s ears also turned red, which would indeed not affect the relationship between him and Shao Tingyue.

    Wen Sitong was shocked at first when he found out what kind of relationship Li Chu had with Mr. Shao.Later, I heard that they had obtained the certificate in the United States. I was so frightened that I quickly asked Li Chu if it was voluntary. I was relieved to learn that the two of them had a good relationship.

    Li Chu was originally worried about what Wen Sitong would think. After all, in this era, it was not something that was easily accepted for two men to be together.

    Unexpectedly, she accepted it quickly and said that as long as he was happy, it would be fine.

    Although she has experienced scumbag men like Aken, she still has longing for love and marriage.It’s just that there is a lot of freedom, and a person can be free.

    As for Mr. Shao’s talents, I guess there is no one in Hong Kong whose family background is more advantageous than his.

    Not only does he keep himself clean, but he also loves Li Chu wholeheartedly, that is enough.

    “Okay, okay, don’t get angry with Mr. Shao anymore,” Wen Sitong pinched Li Chu’s cheek, “Married people should be more sensible and read this month’s ledger first.”

    She pushed the account book in front of Li Chu and talked at length about the operating conditions of the eight branches, their monthly turnover, profit distribution, and the next plan.

    “Xiaochu, I’ve thought about it. Now that the rent is getting more and more expensive, it’s better to buy it out and sell the shop to avoid being evicted by people raising the rent later.”

    Li Chu nodded when he heard this, agreeing with her idea.In the future, the prices of real estate and shops on Hong Kong Island will soar, and there is a lot of room for appreciation if you buy them.

    The two chatted for more than an hour and reviewed the accounts and plans. Wen Sitong closed the account with satisfaction.

    It was almost dark, and Li Chu stood up and was about to leave.

    Suddenly, the TV screen in the store, which was originally showing a Hong Kong drama, suddenly cut to a news screen. The host looked serious, and the Shaw Brothers Building was in the background.

    “…Breaking news, a stabbing incident occurred at the Shaw Group headquarters this afternoon. It is reported that a man broke into the building with a knife and clashed with security personnel near the office on the top floor. Many people were injured on the scene…”

    The scene was shaking, people were being carried out on stretchers, there were bloodstains on the ground, and many people were panicking at the scene.

    “…According to eyewitnesses, ship king Shao Tingyue was at the scene at the time. His injuries were unknown and he was rushed to the hospital…”

    Li Chu’s footsteps stopped in place, feeling chilled all over. The sound on the TV seemed to be coming from outer space, blurry and distant.

    On the way to the hospital, he kept calling Shao Tingyue.

    I called several times and no one answered.

    The boy was holding the phone, his face turned pale, and his heart was so tight that he felt like he couldn’t breathe.The street scene outside the window receded rapidly, but he felt that the car was driving too slowly, too slowly, too slowly.

    Unconsciously, he burst into tears.

    The entrance to the hospital has become a mess.

    There was a row of police cars parked, red and blue lights flashing.Reporters carrying cameras crowded outside the cordon, their microphones stretched out, talking about something.Several policemen were maintaining order and stopping the crowd who were trying to rush in.

    Li Chu managed to squeeze in from the side. He didn’t care about anything and just ran towards the emergency room.

    At this moment, the emergency room was brightly lit and full of busy medical staff and nervous family members of patients.

    Li Chu shuttled among the crowd, searching eagerly, but found nothing anywhere.

    He grabbed a nurse and said, “Where is the injured person who was sent just now? From the Shaw Group…”

    The nurse looked at the boy with red eyes and nose, and felt a little unbearable, but still shook her head: “There are many patients in the emergency room. I don’t know who you are talking about. Just wait for your number to be called.”

    Li Chu could only thank him in a low voice and continued looking with red eyes.He searched the emergency room and the observation area one by one, his heartbeat getting faster and faster, and his eyes getting hotter and hotter.

    Then, he turned around and ran into a hug.

    The familiar aroma of cigars mixed with the faint smell of blood makes people feel inexplicably reassuring.

    “BB, are you looking for me?” A deep voice came from above, with a helpless smile.

    Li Chu raised his head in disbelief and met a pair of deep black eyes, with himself clearly reflected in the pupils.

    It’s my second uncle, he’s fine.

    The boy cried loudly, tears falling down and hitting the back of the man’s hand: “Daddy, I thought… something happened to you…”

    Shao Tingyue looked at him like this, and it felt like his heart had been torn into countless pieces, broken and put back together again to form a name called Li Chu.

    He actually saw Li Chu from a distance just now.

    The little figure rushed in from the door, looking panicked and scurrying around like a small animal.He originally just wanted to see if the children would be nervous about him.

    As a result, he saw that his eyes were red and his face was pale, and he couldn’t bear to part with him.

    “It’s okay.” Shao Tingyue reached out and took Li Chu into his arms, “My husband is okay.”

    Li Chu was held by him and let him hug him blankly. It took him a few seconds to react, and he grabbed him and checked him up and down.

    The young man’s breath stopped when he saw the shocking blood stains on the suit.His hands trembled and he touched it, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it: “Second uncle, what’s wrong? Didn’t you say it’s okay? Where are you injured?”

    Shao Tingyue held his hand, pulled him back into his arms, and hugged him tightly: “Don’t be afraid, my husband is fine. The blood on his body is not mine.”

    Li Chu raised his head and looked at him blankly, with tears hanging from his eyelashes: “If it’s not yours, then whose…”

    Shao Tingyue gently rubbed the end of his eyes, with a smile in his voice: “So bb is so nervous about her husband?”

    Li Chu stared at him with red eyes and wanted to scold him, but couldn’t.

    “That’s Liang Wei’s blood.” Shao Ting stopped joking and became more serious. “When the man rushed in, Liang Wei rushed to block him. His hand was cut and a lot of blood bled, but the vital part was not injured. He is now bandaged inside.”

    After hearing this, Li Chu nodded blankly, but still looked at him a little uneasily: “Are you…really okay?”

    “Really.”

    “Let me see first…”

    Shao Tingyue held his groping hand, lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead: “I’ll show you when I get home. Can I let my husband hold me for a while now?”

    Li Chu sniffed, buried his face in his chest and let out a muffled “hmm”.

    After this incident, Li Chu had nightmares for several days.

    I always dream about the red light in the emergency room, the screams of the crowd and the shocking blood stains on the ground.

    He squeezed in as hard as he could, but couldn’t. He could only watch the stretcher being pushed away.Every time I woke up, my heart was beating like a drum and my back was covered in cold sweat.

    “It’s okay, my husband is here.” The man’s voice was hoarse with sleepiness.He patted Li Chu’s back gently with his palm, like coaxing a child.

    Li Chu buried his face in his arms and didn’t say anything, but just held him very tightly.

    Shao Tingyue hardly slept during that time.

    He woke up every time the person in his arms shook.Then she kissed him over and over again, whispering coaxingly.

    What he regretted most was scaring the children that day, and he didn’t expect it to bring such a big shadow to him.

    The only “benefits” are probably that the children rarely start to cling to themselves.When I come home from the company every day, I almost always hang on to him.

    Of course, Shao Tingyue enjoyed Li Chu’s dependence on him. He noticed that when the child always looked at him with a vague look, he couldn’t help but hug him and kiss him.

    “BB, tell your husband what nonsense are you thinking about?”

    Li Chu didn’t want to say it at first, but he couldn’t resist the man who kept kissing him, so he finally spoke: “Second uncle, you are twelve years older than me. One day…”

    He couldn’t speak anymore.

    That incident made him deeply realize that life is very fragile.

    Shao Tingyue’s fingers gently touched his cheek, which was already wet.

    “One day, what’s wrong?”

    Li Chu didn’t say anything, but just hugged him tighter.

    Shao Tingyue held the boy’s warm cheeks, kissed his eyelids, and said in a low voice with a smile: “BB, you finally realized that your husband is not young? In this case, when can you give me a title?”

    Li Chu blinked his eyes, with tears still pitifully hanging on his eyelashes. He was confused by this question: “What status? Didn’t we get married in the United States?”

    “In the United States, we are married.” The man lowered his eyes and looked at his childish little wife, and said in a slow voice: “But in Hong Kong Island, you need three matchmakers and six betrothals, a big gift, and a banquet to be considered a real marriage. bb, you still owe me a wedding.”

    … Do you really want to have a wedding?Li Chu always felt that the wedding in the Los Angeles church was sacred and solemn, witnessed by the priest, and blessed by God.

    Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, the man lowered his eyebrows and his tone was a little nervous: “BB not willing?”

    “No…”

    “Are you willing?” Shao Tingyue was still very nervous, and his deep eyebrows followed him closely.

    Li Chu looked at him and suddenly wanted to cry and laugh.Then he raised his head and kissed the man’s warm lips: “I do, Daddy.”
