Chapter 803: Zhong Xiaoqin's Heartache
As night fell, Han Tao asked the driver to park the car at the entrance of Grand Hyatt Residences. After a busy day, he planned to get out of the car and stroll over to relax.

It was already dark at this time, and the lights on both sides of the road were bright, like a shining gem, sparkling in the darkness, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility to this bustling city.

He originally planned to return to Dongli to accompany Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun, but because of Gu Jia's call, he came to Junyue Mansion after get off work today.

Han Tao has indeed come here less frequently recently. One reason is that he wants to spend more time with Zhu Suosuo and the others, and the other is that for some reason, Zhong Xiaoqin always avoids him intentionally or unintentionally.

Han Tao wanted to talk to her, but she always found various excuses or ran back to her parents' house for dinner.

Gu Jia and Wang Manni were busy with study and business trips respectively, and building a new company respectively. Even if he came, he would not be able to see them two out of three times.

The same thing happened today. When Zhong Xiaoqin saw Han Tao coming back, she greeted him awkwardly and wanted to take Xu Ziyan back to the room on the pretext of tutoring him with his homework.

Hearing the two talking, Gu Jia came out of the kitchen and saw that it was Han Tao who came back. She asked in surprise, "Why are you back today?"

Although they had never seen the person Wang Manni mentioned, after weighing the pros and cons, the three of them had reached a tacit understanding that no one would monopolize or pester Han Tao, so that there would be no conflicts with each other.

This is indeed the case. Gu Jia feels it is pretty good to come back once a week or two and stay for three or four days in a row. The appropriate distance can maintain the freshness and mystery between each other.

She and Zhong Xiaoqin, both of whom have had this experience, can understand that if two people are together for a long time, they may lose the novelty and even become bored because of over-familiarity.

Therefore, an appropriate distance can allow both parties to maintain a certain sense of mystery, increase mutual interest and attraction, pay more attention to each other's strengths, and ignore some minor shortcomings, thereby creating a sense of expectation.

Of course, everyone's way of getting along and their ideas are different, so this is not unsuitable for everyone.

Because the emotional foundation of many couples is not strong enough, long-term separation may cause the relationship to fade or even break up.

For example, some people separate due to work, study, etc. If there is a lack of sufficient communication and trust, the relationship may break down.

Han Tao heard her words and responded somewhat unhappily: "You and Manni are almost workaholics. If I don't come back to visit more often, are you going to forget me?"

"Why are you still angry? This is a special situation for Manni and I. It will be fine after this busy period!"

Gu Jia smiled and poured water for Han Tao, then hugged his arm and comforted him, "Okay, okay, isn't it said that distance creates beauty? If I really let you accompany us every day, you will be annoyed!"

“It’s true that distance creates beauty, but it means that we should maintain a certain degree of independence and personal space from each other and not interfere too much in each other’s lives, so that we can live in harmony.

Instead of thinking like you guys, Manni now spends most of her time running back and forth between Shanghai and Hong Kong Island, while you frequently travel between the tea factory and Shanghai. Does that still look like home?

And Xiaoqin, I don't know why recently, but I always feel like you're deliberately avoiding me. I came here today so we can have a good chat. Why is that?"

After saying that, Han Tao looked at Zhong Xiaoqin. The latter looked a little flustered and her eyes were evasive when he asked her this.

"How could I hide from you? I'm busy with work and taking care of Zi Yan, so I don't have time. Don't let your imagination run wild!"

At this time, Gu Jia also saw the problem. She understood and cared about this best friend more than anyone else.

Among besties or friends, many people have the mentality of "I want you to live well, but I don't want you to live better than me."

But Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin were able to completely consider each other's perspectives and hoped that they would get better and better, so they asked anxiously:

"Xiaoqin, what's wrong with you? You don't look good. Why didn't you tell me just now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Gu Gu, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm fine. Maybe I've been under a lot of work pressure recently and have too many things to learn, so I'm just a little tired." Hearing this, Gu Jia was still a little worried. She walked to Zhong Xiaoqin's side, touched her forehead with concern and said:
"You should take care of yourself even if you are busy. I almost forgot that you should have a special day these days, right?"

"Mom, godmother, can you talk for a while? You haven't played with me yet. Play with me for a while, please!"

Before Zhong Xiaoqin could say anything, Xu Ziyan, who had been with her just now but was suddenly left out, ran over and started acting coquettishly towards Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin.

Gu Jia squatted down and said, "Zi Yan, godmother is feeling a little uncomfortable. Can godfather accompany you for a while?"

"Okay, I like playing with my godfather. But my godmother is sick, I can help, I know where the medicine is at home."

"Oh, Zi Yan is so amazing. I don't even know where the medicine box is. Can you take your godfather to look for it?"

Han Tao understood what Gu Jia meant, so he walked to Xu Ziyan with a smile and pulled him to the master bedroom.

"Okay, Zi Yan is very capable!" Xu Zi Yan nodded and led the way happily.

During this period, because Gu Jia was busy with work, Zhong Xiaoqin and the nanny took care of him. Han Tao would often come to see him and buy things for him, so he had a good relationship with Han Tao.

The most important thing is that Xu Huanshan, his biological father, has rarely appeared in Xu Ziyan's life since the divorce.

Although he and Gu Jia agreed to see their child once a week when they divorced, he did not do so most of the time.

At first they could see each other once a week, but later they only saw each other once every half a month or a month. And neither of them took the initiative, it was always Gu Jia who brought Xu Ziyan there.

It can be said that Lin Youyou is a very powerful girl. She has completely controlled Xu Huanshan and even ignored her own son.

It really proves the saying that if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Without Gu Jia's support, he has to deal with all the company's affairs by himself, and he really can't spare the time.

Although Xu Ziyan is young, he can clearly feel that his father Xu Huanshan's attitude towards him is different from before, but he does not understand why.

But he is a child by nature, and Gu Jia took care of him more before, so Xu Ziyan’s idea is very simple. If you don’t like me, then I don’t like you either, so I like Han Tao more.

Han Tao was of course happy to see this situation. After all, who would want to see the child he raised only thinking about his biological father?
Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the father-son relationship, but he needs to reflect the closeness of the relationship.

Han Tao would not instill any ideas into Xu Ziyan, nor would he refuse Xu Ziyan from meeting Xu Huanshan, but he would not be a saint and let the two father and son get closer. At least he wanted him to understand the principle of gratitude.

He didn't want to wait until Xu Ziyan grew up and became an ungrateful person, eating and drinking his own food, and only thinking about his biological father.

Similarly, Han Tao did not expect to get anything from Xu Ziyan, nor did he need Xu Ziyan to support him in his old age, so he considered the issue from Gu Jia's perspective and did not want to make things difficult for her.

Han Tao also believes that with Gu Jia's intelligence and emotional intelligence, she can educate Xu Ziyan well and instill good values ​​in her children.

Gu Jia did indeed do so. She had suggested many times that Xu Ziyan should live with her at the tea factory during the winter and summer vacations.

After experiencing divorce, she no longer had the same previous ideas and was ready to educate her son in a different way.

Although she wanted her son to have the best things since childhood, she also had to set an example herself, so that Xu Ziyan could learn to endure hardships and become a grateful person.

Of course, if Xu Ziyan did not meet her deadline in the end, then she would not take sides. After all, it was up to her son to decide his future path, and all she could do was to guide him correctly.
