C55 (1/2)
”Min Er, go back with mom.” Su Ai Lan's attitude suddenly softened.
”Yeah. Xie Min, look, Director Su is here to pick you up. You'd better go back early. Besides, I only have one bedroom and no place for you to stay. ”Since I've already taken my medicine, I'm fine. I'll see you at work tomorrow!” Tang Tianbao said.
Tang Tianbao purposely went overboard. He knew that this was the only way for Xie Min to follow CEO Su home. He would rather offend Xie Min himself than see the two of them fight. When Tang Tianbao found out about Xie Min's background in the bar, an idea sprouted in his mind. If he could, he was willing to protect this woman for the rest of his life. His heart was in pain from what he had done, but he really didn't want to see Xie Min and Su Ai Lan continue arguing like this. In that case, it would only make his heart feel worse.
Xie Min still did not fully understand Tang Tianbao's words. She could vaguely sense that Tang Tianbao was teasing her.
In Xie Min's eyes, Tang Tianbao had suddenly become a completely different person. She said angrily, ”I'll go, I'll go, okay?” With that, Xie Min grabbed her bag and left.
Su Ai Lan followed closely behind.
After Xie Min and Su Yilan left, the entire room fell into silence once more. Tang Tianbao sat paralyzed on the sofa, his mind was still thinking about that intense argument from a moment ago. He seemed to understand at once the other side of Suellen's little-known strength. As a woman, Su Ailan was not easy. She had to run around like a man to make money for Xie Min, and she had to take care of her life like a woman.
Tang Tianbao felt that his body was a bit hot. He took off the coat he was wearing and leaned on the sofa as he lit a cigarette. He imagined what his life would be like if he really became Su Ai Lan's son-in-law.
As he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.
Tang Tianbao looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Chen Dalong calling.
”Hello, Dalong. ”Why?” Tang Tianbao asked.
”Fuck, did you forget about me?” Chen Dalong on the other end of the phone said, ”I took the shift for you. You're never coming back?”
Tang Tianbao suddenly remembered that Chen Dalong was still at the hospital, taking care of Yu Meng.
”I didn't forget. I just finished the infusion. ”That's right, how is Yu Meng?” Tang Tianbao asked over the phone.
”The doctor said it was nothing serious. He just needed to stay in the hospital and observe for a while. ”Brat, you are ruthless enough!” Chen Dalong complained over the phone, ”You treat your own people like this?”
”I was drunk and unconscious, and she suddenly showed up in my life, and I nearly wet my pants. I just instinctively defend myself... ” Tang Tianbao explained over the phone.
”Cut the crap, when are you coming?” Chen Dalong was getting impatient.
”The two of you haven't developed yet? Such a good chance. ” Tang Tianbao joked again.
”Don't be like this. She used to call out your name when she went to sleep at noon. When she woke up, she asked me, ”Where did Little Treasure go?” What can I say, I made up a lie about you going home to get the money. She kept asking you after dinner. I didn't know how to answer her, so I called you. You must come and stay with her tonight. Otherwise, she will die from sadness! ”
”Alright, alright, why did you become even more long-winded than an old woman. I'll take a taxi there now. ”
After Tang Tianbao hung up, he returned to his bedroom, put on a thick coat, and took a taxi to the hospital.
Tang Tianbao stayed in the hospital for a week. He asked for a leave of absence from Su Ai Lan, who readily agreed. This week was a happy one for Yu Meng. Although she was still sick, she was already satisfied to be with someone she liked.
On the one hand, he hadn't explained what had happened that night to Xie Min. On the other hand, he really didn't know what to do with the ambiguous implications of a woman who liked him and whom he didn't like. The only thing he could do was pretend that he didn't know anything and act like he was a good friend to Yu Meng to take care of her.
