Chapter 15 (1/2)

Tang Jianan's villa was an older styled mansion. It used to be the home of his mother when she was young, and all the future was antique but didn't seem to be out of date. The only regretful thing was that the female housekeeper was not a friendly person. She probably thought that she wasn't ladylike enough, since a proper lady wouldn't wear such clothing so late at night and would definitely not go home with a man.

The moment the housekeeper saw him, she said, “Older shaoye just left, he wanted you to call him as soon as you got home.”

Tang Jianan clearly paused but agreed and then turned towards Feng Ping, “Do you want tea or…”

“Black tea.”

Hearing this, Tang Jianan told the housekeeper and she went down.

Taking off his suit jacket, he loosened his tie. Feng Ping was getting ready to take off the coat he gave her when he waved his hands, “Just wear it. You can take it off later.”

Feng Ping laughed and put it back on.

After sitting in silence for a little bit, he spoke, “Have a seat, I'm going to make a phone call upstairs.”

Feng Ping nodded.

Tnag Jianan went upstairs into his study and called his older brother, Haoyun, “Big brother, why didn't you call my cellphone?”

Tang Haoyun's spoke in a breezy voice, “It's actually not a big deal…”

Tang Jianan: “You don't usually call me for small matters.”

“You were out of line recently, so Dad got very angry.”

“He still gets angry?”

“He still cares about you…”

“If it's because of this, I'm going to hang up.”

“Hey…” Tang Haoyun sighed and finally spoke, “Someone came from that side…”

“What?”

“Richard.” Tang Haoyun was in a somber mood, “That illegitimate son.”

Tang Jianan didn't speak.

“Grandma is going to meet him tomorrow. Dad and that woman are still in Paris, I think that he came back this time because…”

“Is that all?” Tang Jianan cut him off.

“Ah Nan, what's with your att.i.tude?” Tang Haoyun finally couldn't take it anymore and raised his voice, “This concerns our…”

“You should rest early Big Brother, you still have work tomorrow!”

Tang Jianan hung up the phone and stood up next to the desk, not moving for a very long time. There was only a single light on in the study, lighting up his profile. Half of his face was lit up by the lamp, and the other half was immersed in darkness. His face was unreadable.

Below in the living room, Feng Ping had already drank three cups of tea. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the housekeeper's gaze was full of mockery. She wasn't considered someone who was thin-skinned, but she really couldn't sit still anymore. No matter what, wasn't it a little rude to leave a guest alone for so long?

Thankfully Tang Jianan still remembered that she was here and arranged one of the guest rooms for her to stay in.

She took off the coat and returned it to him. Tang Jianan gave a faint laugh, “Dont' worry, when you wake up tomorrow, there will be pretty clothes waiting for you.”

As mentioned before, Feng Ping is a sensitive person, so she already detected that Tang Jianan wasn't acting quite right. She felt that his entire being became a little…gentle? Weak? These two words didn't seem to quite fit. She was a little worried and opened her mouth to speak when Tang Jianan beat her to it, “Don't worry, I know your size.”

This sentence made Feng Ping laugh.

She lightly clapped her hands as she laughed, “Alright, it's rare for someone to show me such goodwill. You can now ask me for anything that's within my ability…”

Tang Jianan was getting ready to retire when she suddenly said such a thing. He turned around and stared at her before rubbing his temples, laughing, “If you say it like that, I'll think bad things.”

“How bad are you thinking?” She also laughed.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course.”

“Then I'll say it.”

“Go ahead.”
