Angele opened the door of the study and saw a man in his sixties lying on the rocking chair.

"Dad, I'm back." Huan Gufeng looked at his father's lonely appearance and felt ashamed of himself. He didn't stay by his father's side.

Hearing the familiar voice, Old Master Huan turned around and looked at him. Immediately, a happy smile appeared on his face. For three months, Huan Gufeng didn't come back, and the window of the study could see the parking lot. Old Master Huan sat quietly in the parking lot every day, hoping that the familiar person could appear.

"It's good that you're back. Are you sleeping at home today?"

"Yes, Father." Huan Gufeng always answered very briefly. His personality was always the same, always at a distance of a thousand miles, making Old Master Huan worried that he wouldn't be able to find a wife and always helping Zhang Luo.

The father and son duo had not seen each other for a long time, but neither of them knew what to say. The silence in the room was a bit awkward, with Huan Gufeng, who didn't like to talk, sitting opposite his father.

"You should stay at home for a few days. In two days, the Chen family will hold a ball, and there will be many ladies from noble families. You should come with me." Old Master Huan was worried about Huan Gufeng's marriage.

Huan Gufeng was the most annoyed with blind dates, and they were also the type that was associated with business. He rejected them as he wanted to find his own lover, but his way of thinking was always scolded by Old Master Huan, which resulted in a bad father-son relationship.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. A secretary is coming to pick me up. The company has been very busy recently, so it's getting late. You should go to bed early." Huan Gufeng didn't want to argue with his father so he changed the topic and walked out of the study room with big steps.

After he left, Old Master Huan sighed deeply and closed his eyes helplessly.

Huan Gufeng walked out of the study. His room was at the end of the corridor. Ever since he was young, he didn't like noisy environments.

A black shadow walked directly behind him. Huan Gufeng smiled coldly. He knew who the person behind him was.

The black shadow wanted to hug Huan Gufeng, but was dodged by Huan Gufeng in the next second. The black shadow walked forward and the dim light from the corridor shone on the face of the person who came. It was Meng Man.

She pouted with displeasure, still wearing her red silk pajamas. However, the belt on her pajamas had loosened, revealing plump white lumps of flesh. Her graceful figure still emitted a fragrance.

Huan Gufeng covered his nose in disgust. He really hated women wearing thick perfume.

It was late at night, and the entire Keeper Residence was extremely quiet. If he made even the slightest noise, someone would be able to hear him.

"Gufeng, what do you mean?" Lili saw that her plan had not worked out, and she was extremely upset. She had finally looked forward to Huan Gufeng's return, but she still maintained a cold expression.

"Sleep early. I don't want my father to be troubled. I'm tired." Huan Gufeng pushed the door open, walked in and closed the door with a bang.

She just thought she was pretty. As long as the servant was a man, as long as she appeared, they would not move their eyes away from her. In the whole house, Huan Gufeng never even looked at her once.

He returned to his room helplessly.

Huan Gufeng went back to his room and laid on his bed. He kept thinking about the bullying Bing Xia in the afternoon. He didn't know why he started to care so much about this woman.

The next morning, in Huan Family's dining room, Huan Gufeng and Old Master Huan had not sat together for breakfast for a long time. However, they had not seen Meng Man for a long time.

Uncle Fu was stunned, but he quickly turned around and went upstairs to Meng Man's room. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

He could only hurry downstairs and return to the dining room. He lowered his head and walked in front of Old Master Huan. He said carefully, "Master, Miss Meng is not in the room. I knocked on the door for a long time."

"It's getting more and more outrageous." Old Master Huan sounded a bit unhappy. Yesterday, he had already informed Meng Man that Huan Gufeng was coming back for dinner last night, but Huan Gufeng had come back too late.

In the morning, this woman quietly disappeared without a trace, making the two men of Huan Family wait for her.

"I've made you all wait for a long time. I came back late so early in the morning to buy you a tart that you love to eat. I saw Dai Wei coming back." Meng Man's voice was pleasant to hear, but it was intentionally coquettish, especially when she was talking to Old Master Huan. She did not forget to secretly glance at Huan Gufeng as she spoke, but it was a pity that Huan Gufeng did not even turn his head around.

"Alright, don't be angry. I don't blame you. Just send someone over to buy eggshells in the future."

Old Master Huan motioned Uncle Fu to move the chair towards Meng Man, his tone becoming gentler.

Huan Gufeng did not dare to doubt his father's choice. He just could not understand how his father, who was once a man of iron and blood, would like a woman like Meng Man, who was only a few years older than him.

However, his mother had died twenty years ago, and his father had never married again. It was just that the woman in front of him was Xiang Zhuang, a swordsman of Xiang Zhuang, and she had her heart set on official affairs.

"Miss Meng, the young master already bought Master Huo's pet, Master Huo's egg tart, yesterday." Uncle Fu said softly as he took the tart from Meng Man.

Meng Man sat down below Old Master Huan, but there was no surprise on her face. She had seen it yesterday, and like Old Master Huan she had addressed Huan Gufeng directly as Dai Wei, with an almost imperceptible hint of flattery in her voice.

Meng Man brought the topic up to Huan Gufeng. Huan Gufeng naturally had no way to stay out of this matter. He turned his eyes around and said lightly.

"As long as dad likes it." Huan Gufeng never called her by her name, nor did he have a proper name.

Meng Man stared greedily at Huan Gufeng's handsome face, intoxicated by his deep voice.

The dining room's window was on the floor, and the sunlight shone in from outside. Her charming face revealed a sense of bashfulness, and her eyes were filled with endless charm. However, Huan Gufeng's gaze did not linger on her for even a second.

She was only three years older than him.

It had already been three years since Meng Man had arrived at the Huan Family, but Huan Gufeng was still unable to accept it. Thus, he said in a serious tone, "Dai Wei, you should call Meng Man, little mother, don't be so rude. Did I teach you this since I was young?"

"Little mom?" Meng Man's smile froze on her face. This way of addressing Huan Gufeng directly separated her from him. As she sat on the lower left side of Old Master Huan, Huan Gufeng's face seemed especially awkward.

Initially, it was a rule for eating with Huan Family, but how could Meng Man endure it?

"Gufeng, don't listen to your lordship. Little Ma calls me old, so you might as well call me Meng Man or Manman. Besides, I'm not much older than you, am I, sir?" Lili picked up a spoonful of chicken noodle soup and put it into her mouth, but her eyes were focused on Huan Gufeng.
