Chapter 81: Hug Me—Let Me Feel the Long-Lost Fatherly Love!

---

"But I'm younger than you. Isn't it inappropriate for me to be your father?"

Dachun waved his hand dismissively and grinned. "President Lin said that as long as there's true love, gender doesn't matter—so why should age?"

Angkor: "..."

Why does President Lin always say things like this?

And why does he keep popping up everywhere?!

"Even though I'm older than you, as long as you truly love my mother, I can accept it!"

Angkor:

TMD!

I can't accept this!

"I've already made up my mind! From now on, I'll call you Dad, you call me Brother, and we'll each go our own way! We..." Dachun placed one hand on Angkor's shoulder and the other on Liu Ma's. "We're a loving family now!"

Angkor: "..."

At that moment, Dachun suddenly spread his arms wide toward Angkor.

Angkor frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Twenty-seven, give me a hug!" Dachun said childishly. "Let me feel the long-lost warmth of a father's love!"

"..."

Bang!

Dachun threw his arms around Angkor and hugged him tightly.

Angkor: "..."

Dachun's face was filled with bliss. "So this is what a father's love feels like? This is a father's embrace? It's so warm, so cozy, so nostalgic! It's like hugging my girlfriend! Hmm… I feel a little excited..."

Angkor was startled. "Don't be excited! I'm a man!"

"Of course not! You're my dad, after all!" Dachun laughed.

Angkor: "..."

"By the way, speaking of girlfriends..."

Dachun suddenly looked serious. "Dad, I'm getting married! Can you help me with the dowry? Not much—just 500,000 yuan, a wedding house, and a car. Oh, and put them under my mother's name! Once it's settled, I'll give you two grandkids!"

Angkor: "Fk!"**

"You're not saying anything? I'll take that as a yes!"

Angkor: "..."

"Dad, you're the best! Haha!"

Angkor: "..."

Dachun finally released Angkor from the hug and pushed him toward Liu Ma. "Stop hesitating, go be with my mom!"

Just then, Lin Beifan appeared with a group of people.

They clapped and cheered enthusiastically: "Together! Together! Together!"

The atmosphere was overwhelming.

Angkor was dying of embarrassment!

At that moment, he truly wanted to stab himself with a knife.

Or better yet—hack this little b*****d in front of him to pieces!

Thankfully, kind-hearted Liu Ma stepped in to defuse the situation. "Alright, everyone, don't tease him too much! Xiao Wu is just shy. He'll be embarrassed if you keep going."

Lin Beifan waved his hand. "Alright, alright, let's stop here. Everyone, back to work!"

The crowd shot Lin Beifan a glare.

You were the one who dragged us here to watch the show, and now you're acting all innocent?!

"Let's go back to work! Don't disturb the lovebirds!"

Angkor: "..."

Dachun shouted as he left, "President Lin is right! Mom, I'm heading back! Dad, take good care of my mom!"

Angkor: "..."

Before leaving, Lin Beifan patted Angkor on the shoulder. "Xiao Wu, you and Mama Liu are finally together! She's a good woman—cherish her!"

Angkor: "..."

The Office Romance Begins

In the days that followed, Angkor and Liu Ma worked together and gradually developed an office romance.

They were often seen going out together, inseparable. Their affectionate interactions sprinkled dog food (public displays of affection) all over the place.

Even Lin Beifan would occasionally stop by to enjoy the show, happily feasting on dog food before returning to work, feeling refreshed.

As for Angkor, he endured Liu Ma's affection while secretly plotting his revenge on Lin Beifan.

Watching Lin Beifan become more and more successful made Angkor incredibly frustrated.

"I have to find a way to take him down! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep in peace!"

"As for the Feng Shui formation..."

Angkor's mouth twitched. "That won't work anymore. Every time I set a trap, I end up stepping into it myself! It's cursed! I need a new strategy!"

Just then, he noticed something suspicious about a few employees in the company.

These people frequently entered and exited the trading room, lingering for unusually long periods. They seemed nervous and cautious, often checking their phones and looking around as if they were thieves.

One of them, a treasurer, would always sneak away immediately after work.

Curious, Angkor decided to follow him.

The treasurer went to a café and sat down with two men in black suits.

Angkor discreetly changed his coat, put on a mask, and sat behind them to eavesdrop on their conversation.

One of the men in black spoke first. "Miss Liu, to be honest, the information you've been providing us lately is useless. It's not worth the money we gave you!"

Miss Liu—the treasurer—smiled bitterly. "I've tried my best! But Mr. Lin doesn't have a fixed investment plan. He makes decisions on the spot and has others execute them immediately. Even the trading room staff don't know what he's buying in advance!"

"On top of that, his trades are fast. He usually sells off stocks the morning after he buys them. By the time I get the information, it's already too late!"

The man in black frowned. "That doesn't make sense! If he's investing, there must be some sort of strategy. How else could he make money every time? Can you get his notes or anything?"

Miss Liu shook her head. "I'm just an ordinary treasurer. I don't have access to those things! Only two people do—one is hospitalized, and the other is Secretary Liu Rumei, who is extremely cautious!"

The men in black fell silent for a moment.

Miss Liu sighed. "Since I couldn't help you, I'll return the money. Let's pretend we never cooperated."

The man in black sneered. "That won't do."

Miss Liu's face changed. "Why not?"

"Because if you back out now, we'll expose you to Lin Beifan. You can imagine the consequences."

Miss Liu turned pale. "No! I'll keep cooperating!"

And just like that, she was trapped in their scheme.

After following the trail, Angkor discovered that multiple employees were involved, all working with the same mysterious group.

Their goal? To steal Lin Beifan's investment information.

But their efforts had been futile so far.

At that moment, a devious smile appeared on Angkor's lips.

"If I can't take Lin Beifan down myself… why not help these outsiders do it for me?"

That night, he intercepted two of the men in black before they left.

"Wait. I want to work with you!"
