The Aftermath of Divorcing the Wealthy Man chapter 32

The night quickly passed, and when the day broke, a ray of sunlight shone into the office.

Su Lingwei, sitting in the chair, opened her eyes. It was a new day.

A knock sounded at the door.

Thinking it was Zhang Mingen, Su Lingwei said, “Come in.”

In the next moment, a tall figure entered against the light, pushing the door open.

Xu Dingjun carried a basket of steamed buns and porridge, dressed in casual grey clothes. With his long legs, he walked a few steps and stood in front of Su Lingwei’s desk.

“President Su, good morning.” Xu Dingjun stood in front of Su Lingwei’s desk, smiling as he greeted her.

It was clear he had gotten up early and hurried over, with some redness in his eyes.

“Why are you here?” Seeing Xu Dingjun, Su Lingwei was somewhat surprised and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be filming with the crew? Why are you back?”

“I took half a day off from the crew and will go back to continue filming in the afternoon.” Xu Dingjun smiled, picking up the steamed buns and porridge he had brought and placing them on Su Lingwei’s desk. “These are from Shiweitian, very delicious. Try them.”

The steamed buns and porridge were still steaming, their fragrance enticing appetites in the office.

Su Lingwei had been busy all night, only taking a short nap just before dawn. Now, smelling the food, she felt a bit hungry.

But instead of immediately trying the steamed buns and porridge Xu Dingjun brought, she looked at him and asked, “How did you come up with these things?”

“It’s early, I guessed you hadn’t had breakfast yet, so I bought some over.” Xu Dingjun said matter-of-factly.

“How did you know I was at the company?” Su Lingwei had not received any calls from Xu Dingjun before, nor had she told him where she was.

How did he know?

This made her somewhat suspicious.

Xu Dingjun also understood her meaning. Unable to continue pretending, he honestly told Su Lingwei, “I saw the news online about the company’s situation. I finished filming late last night and didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I waited until dawn to ask Assistant Zhang about the company’s situation. Knowing you were at the company, and coincidentally, I had something to do at home, so I asked the director for a leave and came over to see you.”

Upon hearing this, Su Lingwei’s doubts vanished.

She looked at him seriously and said, “You’ve said that you really want to become famous, to act seriously, and to prove that you can succeed. Then you must focus, don’t get distracted by other things. When filming, stay focused on set, don’t take casual leave, stay at the filming location unless there’s something important. Forget about what happened this time; let it be a one-time thing.”

“Yes, I understand,” Xu Dingjun stood at attention, promising Su Lingwei that he wouldn’t make the same mistake again, almost saluting her.

Su Lingwei was amused by his serious demeanor and said, “Alright, hurry up and finish your tasks, then go back to the set to film.”

However, Xu Dingjun remained standing, looking at Su Lingwei earnestly. He asked, “President Su, is our company being targeted recently? Why do we always have so many troubles?”

Although Xu Dingjun’s current status was not high, his family background was prestigious.

Even though he didn’t get involved in the family business, he had been exposed to many cunning methods since childhood.

Over the past few years, he had observed some clues from the popular topics on Weibo.

He always felt that the problems encountered by Jiahe Entertainment were deliberately caused by someone targeting them.

After Xu Dingjun discovered this issue, he remembered how he had been suppressed before.

If it weren’t for Su Lingwei giving him a chance to turn things around, he might still be singing in a bar now, finding it difficult to survive in the entertainment industry.

So, he wanted to repay Su Lingwei.

If there were really malicious intentions targeting Jiahe Entertainment, he could also use some of his family’s connections to help Su Lingwei.

This was also the reason why he came to find Su Lingwei early in the morning.

“President Su, if the company is in trouble, I think I might be able to help.” Xu Dingjun was unwilling to use his family’s connections to fight for resources for himself, but it was okay to help Su Lingwei.

This did not go against his original intention of not relying on his family. Su Lingwei was his benefactor, and he was willing to help her.

Su Lingwei had memories from her past life and knew about Xu Dingjun’s family background.

With the deep background of the Xu family, anything he wanted to do would be effortless.

However, Xu Dingjun had never revealed his identity to the public, and he had his own considerations. Su Lingwei understood this with a little thought. Xu Dingjun wanted to help her by using his family’s connections.

However, Su Lingwei didn’t want to trouble him.

“The company’s issues have been resolved, so you don’t need to worry. It’s more important to focus on filming.” Su Lingwei smiled.

Although Jiahe Entertainment still had many problems at the moment, they were all within a manageable range.

Su Lingwei was confident that she could solve them.

“Really, no need for help?” Xu Dingjun was a little disappointed and couldn’t help but ask again.

If he went to his second brother, it would be a simple matter to help Jiahe Entertainment solve its problems; it wouldn’t take much effort.

Su Lingwei shook her head and said, “Really not needed. I can handle it all.”

After being rejected repeatedly, Xu Dingjun realized that Su Lingwei really didn’t want his help.

Although he was disappointed, he still wanted to repay Su Lingwei.

He said, “Well, if you encounter any problems you can’t solve, be sure to tell me, and I’ll find a solution for you.”

He was too enthusiastic and persistent, so Su Lingwei couldn’t refuse him anymore.

To avoid affecting Xu Dingjun’s emotions too much, Su Lingwei hesitated for a moment and then said, “Okay, if I really encounter a problem I can’t solve, I’ll come to you for help.”

With this affirmative reply, Xu Dingjun finally felt satisfied.

A handsome smile appeared on his face as he pushed the small steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge on the table towards Su Lingwei, saying enthusiastically, “Eat while it’s hot. These are all delicious things. Enjoy.”

“Have you eaten?” Su Lingwei guessed that he might not have had breakfast since he arrived at the company so early.

She pointed to the small steamed buns and said, “You bought too many. I can’t finish them all by myself. Have a few.”

Xu Dingjun indeed had not eaten breakfast.

After he called Zhang Mingen in the morning, he hurried to the company to see Su Lingwei.

He bought breakfast on the way but didn’t have time to eat it, so he rushed over.

Su Lingwei said, pointing to the bag of small steamed buns, “I’ll have the eight-treasure porridge and these two small steamed buns. The rest are all yours to deal with.”

“You’re eating so little?” Xu Dingjun thought Su Lingwei was eating too little.

“You bought too much.” Su Lingwei corrected him.

At least two baskets of small steamed buns were bought here, which she couldn’t finish alone.

In the end, Su Lingwei was responsible for eating three small steamed buns, and Xu Dingjun was responsible for dealing with the rest.

Su Lingwei picked up a small steamed bun with chopsticks, took a gentle bite, and found it to be thin-skinned with plenty of meat and soup inside.

As she bit down, the delicious soup flowed out, making her taste buds dance with joy.

Accidentally, some soup flowed out from the corner of Su Lingwei’s mouth. She extended her tender tongue and licked it.

She used to love the small steamed buns from Grandma Qiao’s shop the most, especially the delicious soup inside, which made her very satisfied.

Sitting beside her, Xu Dingjun saw Su Lingwei licking the corner of her mouth, her tender and attractive tongue making his heart tighten slightly. He quickly looked away, not daring to look again, but the slightly reddened earlobes revealed his emotions.

Su Lingwei ate a small steamed bun and a spoonful of eight-treasure porridge, enjoying her meal.

Xu Dingjun was also influenced by her and picked up a small steamed bun to eat.

At this moment, the office door opened, and Gu Feiyang appeared at the door with breakfast in his hands.

Seeing Gu Feiyang suddenly appear, Su Lingwei almost bit her tongue while eating the small steamed bun.

“What are you doing here…”

“I went out to buy breakfast.” Gu Feiyang glanced at Xu Dingjun beside Su Lingwei.

He recognized him and knew he was the male lead in the movie “Overnight Riches” that Jiahe Entertainment is currently investing in, a role personally selected by Su Lingwei, so Su Lingwei took special care of him.

He just didn’t understand why someone who should be on set filming would appear in Su Lingwei’s office and even sit with her for breakfast.

‘Could his purpose be the same as mine?’

Thinking this, Gu Feiyang walked up with breakfast and placed the fried pancake and milk he bought on the table.

“This is the egg pancake you like. I drove half the city just to buy it,” Gu Feiyang said to Su Lingwei. “I just woke up and saw you were still asleep. I thought you had a hard time yesterday, so I didn’t wake you up and quietly went out to buy breakfast.”

Gu Feiyang’s words sounded ambiguous no matter how you listened to them!
