Chapter 164 Close to Home

When Su Yehao returned to his home, Linda Yun immediately approached him.

She wasn't in a good mood and teased, "No wonder someone didn't return to Hong Kong, so there's someone else to miss in Pengcheng? Don't expect me to cover for you. You've almost put together an entire basketball team. Tell me, aren't you going a bit overboard? Miss Yin's issue hasn't been completely resolved, and how come you only like eating grass near your own nest?"

"…Maybe it's the call of the wild? I'm wary of strangers, always worried about falling into a trap, but with old acquaintances like Vera, I don't have those concerns, and it's much easier to get along."

Su Yehao quickly figured out the root cause.

Overall, it might be because he's been bored lately, so he subconsciously sought excitement.

Linda Yun rolled her eyes at him and then said, "Although I also think Vera is very beautiful, even I'm tempted when I see her, but I have to remind you to be careful of another fire in the backyard. Can't you be like a normal man, go to a bar, catch someone's eye, and forget about it the next day, just have a one-night stand? With so many close female friends, can you even handle it all?"

"…"

Su Yehao was speechless and said, "I'm not interested in the thousand-dollar love stories near the Lisboa Bridge. Thanks for the kind suggestion. At least what I'm doing now is out of affection. If I were purely driven by instinct and impulse, how would I be any different from an animal?"

"???"

Linda Yun didn't catch on for a moment, carefully pondering his nonsense. After a few seconds, she said speechlessly, "You're not much better off now, are you?"

"It's different. We have a foundation of feelings with them."

Su Yehao knew very well that her reminder wasn't wrong.

The delicate balance he'd managed to achieve could easily be broken by new developments.

However, like a first love from student days, some of the lingering feelings seemed both charming and special. He could remain indifferent to so-called celebrity supermodels, but he found it hard to resist Miss Vera's unique charm.

Even though his mind was telling him that he was courting death, his heart always held a glimmer of hope.

Linda Yun was instantly speechless upon hearing this.

She thought that it was indeed as Su Yehao said. Although this guy was a playboy, he was very good at taking care of the women around him, and he was obviously much more reliable than the average womanizer.

As his personal secretary, Linda Yun knew this better than anyone. Looking at the lives of Nong Qingying, Nangong Tian, and the others, it was clear that they were living very well.

She waved her hand and continued, "Anyway, don't blame me for not reminding you. You need to be calm at times like this. Uncle Tang contacted me and said that today is your aunt's birthday and asked you to go home for a meal."

"Oh, I should prepare a gift and celebrate with my aunt."

He had originally planned to have dinner with Vera, but now he had to go home first. Su Yehao went next door to say hello and stole a few kisses from her.

Miss Vera was a little frustrated. While wiping her mouth, she wondered if she was too soft, giving him the confidence to act so recklessly.

She was so angry that her teeth itched, and she thought about biting him next time, taking him down with her…

——————————

He took a car back to Hong Kong.

On the way, he contacted his "head housekeeper," Nangong Tian, to ask what kind of birthday gift he should choose.

His vault was filled with many rare items, and Nangong Tian couldn't think of anything specific for a while, saying she would look for something at home. If that didn't work, she would go to Cartier and pick out a piece of jewelry that was the pride of the store.

After Su Yehao hung up, he called Nong Qingying.

Nong Qingying's son was Tang's great-grandson, so how could the old man not inform her about a family dinner?

Therefore, this girl was already getting ready, saying she would go directly to the Tang family's old house around 6:30.

Over the phone, Su Yehao chatted with his son for a few words.

The little guy was already over two years old and spoke fairly clearly. He complained that his mother wouldn't let him eat ice cream and then mentioned that he wanted to watch cartoons.

This was obviously overestimating Su Yehao's ability.

Nong Qingying usually had the final say when it came to educating their son. He had reached the stage of development where he needed to establish rules, and Su Yehao thought it was better to side with the child's mother.

As for his son, not hitting him too much was already considered being a good dad. To be honest, Su Yehao was also worried about raising a spendthrift, so he made plans to be strict in advance.

Calculating the time.

After the schools in the Sihai International Cultural Tourism City were built, he could just send his child there and find some strict teachers to help educate him. Many teachers in Hong Kong were learning the European and American style of happy education, which seemed quite unreliable to Su Yehao.

Su's father often bragged about how good his family education was, gloating about it outside. Su Yehao was too lazy to expose him.

If it hadn't been for the accident.

The former Su Dashao would probably still be hanging out in bars with He Shaofan, Baoya Jun, and the others all day long, already partying like crazy. It would be considered reliable if he didn't squander his money.

He went directly through customs and returned to Hong Kong.

When Su Yehao was near Kowloon, he received a call from Nangong Tian, who told him, "There's a jade pendant you gave me in the vault, a Maitreya Buddha design. I've never worn it. There's also a brooch I bought at an auction, a diamond French royal collection piece. What do you think?"

"I have a slight impression of that brooch. It's a leaf design, and I spent $330,000 to buy it, right? Why don't we just give it away? It's just right, and you think it's a bit old-fashioned anyway, so you never wear it."

After hearing Su Yehao's words, the little girl smiled and said, "I really don't like it very much. It's not that it's not pretty enough, but I have to wear formal attire to wear it. I can't find a suitable occasion, and I guess it'll be useful after I turn thirty-five. I really like the Cartier panther brooch you gave me. I often wear it to work. The design is younger, and it goes well with my panther bracelet."

Since he often picked out gifts for the girls, Su Yehao had some understanding of the characteristics of various jewelry brands.

For example, Cartier jewelry in the shape of panthers was the brand's main feature.

He had purchased a black panther bracelet collected by the Duchess of Windsor, spending more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was now in Nangong Tian's hands.

After quickly finalizing the gift, Su Yehao learned that Jiang Yu was with her and had already packed up, so he asked them to go to the Tang family's old house themselves. The timing was just right.

After chatting briefly in the old house, they took a car to Fook Lam Moon Restaurant.

On the way.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Yu said regretfully, "I thought my aunt could rekindle her relationship with Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen. It's really a pity. Could it be that she won't marry for the rest of her life?"

Su Yehao shook his head and laughed, "Why are you worrying about adult matters? Even if my aunt doesn't get married, it doesn't mean she can't find a boyfriend. She might live a more carefree life than anyone else, meeting many young and handsome guys or muscular hunks."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit off.

Nangong Tian couldn't help but laugh and said, "She's your mother's younger sister. How can you talk about her like that?"

Su Yehao shrugged and said, "It's normal, okay? Some people just aren't suited for a normal life. My aunt has many options, and as long as she's happy, that's all that matters…"
