The Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Association office.
Wan Yunting stepped out of a car parked at the entrance, carrying a briefcase. After greeting the driver, he strode inside...
"Chairman Wan is back..."
The members working in the association cheered as Wan Yunting entered.
"Hello everyone, it's been a while. How is everything at home?"
Looking at the young faces of the members, most of whom were recent graduates working in the association, their main job being to handle the association's daily administrative matters...
"Everything is fine, Chairman Wan. Vice Chairman Li and the others are already in the conference room upstairs."
"Good, then everyone continue with your work. I'm heading up."
Wan Yunting smiled and waved, then went upstairs.
"Chairman Wan, you're back..."
He bumped into Shangguan Huier as she came out of the conference room, who looked at Wan Yunting's return with surprise.
"Yes, Huier, are they in a meeting?" Wan Yunting nodded with a smile and asked.
"Yes, please go in," Shangguan Huier said with a smile.
Wan Yunting nodded and went to knock on the conference room door before pushing it open. He immediately saw Li Yuxiu, dressed in a casual long dress and wearing a jacket...
The temperature in Beijing had already dropped. With Li Yuxiu were Wei Datong, Ding Huixiang, Meng Kang, Shen Tonghe, and other members, as well as Chen Jiadong and Yuan Jingguo, all important committee members of the association.
"Chairman Wan is back..."
Everyone applauded and cheered upon seeing Wan Yunting enter.
Li Yuxiu turned her head, her intelligent phoenix eyes fixed on Wan Yunting. Although she tried hard to conceal it, her inner joy was visible in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Chairman Wan, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Li Yuxiu, Wan Yunting felt the same, but he managed to restrain himself. He nodded and smiled, "Vice Chairman Li, thank you for your hard work too. Everyone has worked hard over the past month."
"Please sit down, Chairman Wan..."
Everyone nodded and invited him to sit.
Wan Yunting nodded and sat next to Li Yuxiu. He opened his briefcase, took out some documents, and said with a smile, "Are you having a summary meeting? Please share your thoughts..."
The meeting was primarily to summarize the process of implementing the nationwide reform storm action across the country over the past month. The meeting was quite long, lasting through lunch, and everyone completed their summaries in detail.
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "The National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference is approaching soon. What we need to do next is to come up with a plan and announce it at the conference."
"Mm..."
Ding Huixiang and the others nodded.
Li Yuxiu said, "We will be busy for the next few days with the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference. I will be responsible for the arrangements."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Vice Chairman Li, please don't overwork yourself."
"Yes, everyone has been working so hard for over a month. Let's take a two-day break first, and then prepare for the conference. What do you think, Chairman Wan?" Shen Tonghe said with a smile.
Indeed, everyone had been traveling constantly, and now they were immediately engaged in the next task without any rest. They were all quite tired.
"Alright, then we'll have two days off. Everyone go home and rest well, and then we'll prepare for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference," Wan Yunting said with a smile, looking at everyone.
"Great, finally some rest..."
Meng Kang and Wei Datong laughed with Zhang Fenglin and the others, and then made plans to go to Gu Yuanbai's house for drinks the next evening...
The meeting ended, and everyone left. Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu packed their things and left the conference room together, heading to the office upstairs. He then entered Li Yuxiu's office with her...
Wan Yunting immediately closed and locked the door, grabbed Li Yuxiu's wrist, and pinned her against the wall. Without a word, he began with a passionate and rough kiss...
Li Yuxiu, who hadn't seen the man for over a month, had been thinking about him constantly besides her work. Faced with his slightly rough actions and feeling his familiar aura, she was captivated and responded passionately...
After a passionate encounter, they embraced each other on the bed in the adjoining resting room. Wan Yunting caressed her cheek and said with a smile, "You've gotten tanned, and you've lost some weight..."
"Yes, my last stop was the Northwest..."
Li Yuxiu nestled in his arms and said softly, just wanting to feel the warmth of the man...
"You've worked hard."
Wan Yunting held her tightly, wanting to cherish this woman at this moment...
"Alright, it's getting late, and you haven't gone home yet. You should go back now."
A short while later, Li Yuxiu got up, knowing that the man had come straight here after getting off the plane and hadn't even gone home yet.
Wan Yunting also got up, embraced her from behind, and said with a smile, "What will you be doing next?"
Feeling the man getting restless again, Li Yuxiu turned her head and glanced at him with slightly alluring phoenix eyes, snorting, "Making the plan, and then going home after work..."
Wan Yunting smiled mischievously and said, "Didn't we agree to rest for two days? How about we find some time to go out tomorrow?"
Li Yuxiu smiled and said, "You've been away from the capital for so long, aren't you going to see your other admirers?"
Wan Yunting smiled, "But I want to be with you more right now."
"Tsk, smooth talker..."
Li Yuxiu pushed him away. Although she found him a bit too glib, she still liked him in her heart.
Finally, Wan Yunting lingered with Li Yuxiu for another half hour before leaving her office with satisfaction. As he left, he ran into Shangguan Huier outside. They exchanged a look, and the guilty-looking Wan Yunting gave a sheepish smile, saying, "Huier, if there's nothing else this afternoon, you can leave work early."
"Oh, alright, Chairman Wan..."
Shangguan Huier also gave a sheepish smile, not daring to look at Wan Yunting.
"I'm leaving now, bye-bye..."
Wan Yunting waved at her and quickly left.
Shangguan Huier glanced, then turned to look at the door of Li Yuxiu's office. Unsure of what she was thinking, she shook her head and went back to her work...
Wan Yunting went straight home.
"Brother, you're finally back..."
Seeing Wan Yunting return, Ouyang Fanmeng, who was in the yard playing with her niece, got up and went towards him, pouncing into Wan Yunting's arms and saying with a smile, "You've lost a lot of weight."
"Haha, you've gained quite a bit," Wan Yunting said as he hugged her and spun her around twice, teasingly.
"Bah, I haven't gained weight at all."
Ouyang Fanmeng rolled her eyes at him and huffed indignantly, making her mother Xia Xiangyun and Fang Yanxi laugh. However, seeing that Wan Yunting had lost weight, they said with concern, "You're busy again right after returning. Can't you rest for a couple of days?"
Wan Yunting walked over, picked up his daughter from the stroller, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll rest for two days later."
"Alright, you're all dirty. Go take a bath first," Fang Yanxi said disapprovingly as she took their daughter from his arms.
Wan Yunting smiled, greeted his mother, and went in to take a bath.
After showering, he held his daughter and chatted with Fang Yanxi and his mother about his month-long travels across the country. In the afternoon, his father Ouyang Zhixin returned...
As for Ouyang Shenhe, he had gone to Shaoxing with Fan Liren two weeks ago, saying they had found an old house there and were renovating it...
Knowing that his grandfather had retired, the family did not disturb him but visited him from time to time...
In the evening, all members of the Ouyang family gathered again to celebrate Wan Yunting's return home after finishing his work...
Later that evening, Fang Yanxi put their daughter to sleep, left her with the nanny, and went with Wan Yunting to a small room in the backyard garden for some private time...
The next day, besides working over the phone, Wan Yunting stayed home with his family, taking care of his daughter and chatting with his parents. It was a normal day...
However, in the evening, Wan Yunting went to Gu Yuanbai's to visit Gu Luotang.
He also knew that Meng Kang and Shen Tonghe were coming to see Gu Yuanbai for drinks that night to discuss future development plans...
"Brother Yunting is here..."
Qi Miaomiao, seeing Wan Yunting enter, happily went to greet him...
"Mm..."
Wan Yunting playfully flicked the girl's forehead and immediately saw Ding Huixiang, Shen Tonghe and the others in the courtyard, as well as Li Tiangui and his daughter Li Yuxiu...
Li Yuxiu also looked over, her expression unchanged as she saw Wan Yunting playfully interacting with Qi Miaomiao...
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded at Li Yuxiu from a distance. He admired her today, dressed in a white shirt, a small jacket, a blue fishtail skirt exposing a bit of her leg, paired with nude stockings and low-heeled shoes, exuding a mature charm.
"Brother Yunting..."
At this moment, Gu Luotang came out, wearing a Hanfu dress, her abdomen slightly protruding. She looked at Wan Yunting with a face full of joyous smiles...
"Luotang..."
Wan Yunting went forward and helped Gu Luotang, not bothering to greet the others in the courtyard, and first helped her back to the study.
Qi Miaomiao, being sensible, did not follow them in...
"Look at you, you've lost weight."
Gu Luotang's beautiful eyes sparkled with affection as she tenderly touched Wan Yunting's face...
"Mm, it's okay, I'll gain it back soon."
Wan Yunting sat down, pulled Gu Luotang onto his lap, and lovingly caressed her abdomen, saying with a smile, "The little one is developing quite well, huh?"
Gu Luotang smiled broadly and said, "It's only a few months, and you already know it's a boy?"
"Of course I know."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "He'll be here in a few months."
"Mm-hmm..."
Gu Luotang nodded gently with a smile. Wan Yunting touched her fair and delicate face and couldn't help but kiss her cherry-red lips...
Having not seen the man for over a month, Gu Luotang naturally missed him dearly and reciprocated the passionate kiss...
But it was limited to a passionate kiss. After all, she was pregnant, and Wan Yunting dared not do anything improper, so he had to restrain himself...
"Let's go out..."
Seeing that it was about time, Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang went out together...
"Chairman Wan is out..."
Shen Tonghe and the others, who were drinking tea with Gu Yuanbai in the courtyard, greeted Wan Yunting as he came out...
Wan Yunting nodded and said with a smile, "You all arrived quite early..."
Li Tiangui laughed, "We came early because we wanted to taste the fine teas that Old Gu has collected."
"Haha..."
Everyone laughed. Gu Yuanbai invited Wan Yunting to sit down and poured tea for Li Tiangui, saying with a smile, "Elder Li is just joking. These are ordinary teas, just collected for several years, so they smell a bit more fragrant."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Then Gu Yuanbai looked at Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu and said with a smile, "From the past month, the public support for you is very high. This indicates that your implementation of the reform plan has been successful."
Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu exchanged a glance, nodded, and said with a smile, "Old Gu is too kind."
Gu Yuanbai waved his hand and started chatting with them...
Meanwhile, Qi Miaomiao, Du Hua, Wang Zhuyu, and Uncle Hong, the butler, along with the housekeepers, were busy preparing for the evening banquet. Some dishes were homemade, but most of the dishes were ordered directly from restaurants.
