C59 (2/2)

She looked around stupidly, then abruptly stood up. Only when she realized that her clothes were still intact did she feel slightly relieved.

”I've finally woken up. It's so exhausting for me.” Zhou Tian also stood up and stretched.

Squatting on the ground for an hour, even he found it a little hard to bear. Furthermore, he had to continuously infuse zhenqi into his body. This was even more tiring.

Ah!” You damned pervert! ” Upon seeing Zhou Tian standing not too far away from her, Bai Ning Rou suddenly recalled what happened before she went to bed. She grabbed a teacup from the side and threw it towards Zhou Tian.

”Hey, hey, you're being ungrateful! I am treating your illness with good intentions, it's one thing for you not to thank me, but you even beat up a doctor, what justice is there in this! ”

Zhou Tian pretended to be extremely wronged. As he slightly stepped forward, he gently reached out to grab the teacup in his hand.

Bai Ning looked at him angrily, and actually threw a teacup in each hand at him, ”Who wants you to treat my illness!?” You used some kind of demonic technique to make me faint! Who knows what you took the opportunity to do to me! ”

”It was clearly you who fell asleep, yet you shamelessly blamed me. I'm still here protecting you, afraid that some blind little thief would barge in.”

Zhou Tian said as he gently circulated his zhenqi. The two tea cups that flew towards him were attracted by his zhenqi and were easily caught by him.

”Still a little thief? You little slut! ”I, I'm so angry!”

Bai Ning Rou threw the tea tray over.

Zhou Tian was deeply afraid that the teacup would fall to the ground. He hastily stepped forward and caught the teacup before putting it back down, ”Second Miss Bai, your anger should be dissipated, right?”

Seeing that she no longer had anything to throw away, she angrily sat on the sofa and turned her head, not wanting to see Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian laughed involuntarily. This kind of Bai Ning Rou was a rare sight. She could lose her temper and act like a little girl. She was no longer as calm as she had pretended to be, nor did she have the special dignity of a lady.

After placing the tea tray back on the table, Zhou Tian sat back down on the sofa without a word.

Bai Ning Rou turned her face away and came back to her senses. Recalling her actions just now, she felt as if her face had been scalded with boiling water. The heat on her face was terrifying. When did he become like this? If you want to laugh, laugh. If you want to be angry, you can be angry.

She first felt extremely comfortable throughout her body, and was also brimming with energy. All of this had changed, and let her know that she had misunderstood Zhou Tian's good intentions.

For a time, she didn't know what to say. She didn't even dare to face Zhou Tian. How embarrassing.

”Since you don't want to say it, let me guess.” He continued, ”Recently, the Wu family has become more and more powerful, and Wu Ming loves you. Thus, within your Bai family, there has been a talk about betrothing you to Wu Ming, and even with the approval of the majority of the people, you can only resist in silence.”

The embarrassment on Bai Ning Rou's face lessened.

”If I'm right, they're going to get you married to Wu Ming on your birthday, aren't they?”

Bai Ning Rou lightly bit her lips, her worry clouding her mind again, ”Since you already know, why are you asking me? I am the second lady of the Bai Clan, I cannot be disloyal to the wishes of the people of the Bai Clan, do you understand? ”

”I just want you to say it yourself. With all due respect, don't you think this marriage is nonsense? ”Even if the Bai Clan marries the Wu Clan, your marriage to Wu Ming is just on the surface. In reality, your Bai Clan is still at risk of being annexed by the Wu Clan. Most importantly, how much will a Wu Ming represent?” Zhou Tian slowly said.

With regards to such matters, if two friendly families were to marry each other, wouldn't that be pushing their children into a pit of fire if they were to marry even though they knew that they were enemies?

”You, where did all this talk come from today?” Bai Ning Rou rolled her eyes at Zhou Tian, and said softly, ”How would I not know? But I'm just a girl, are you going to teach me how to escape from marriage? And even if I ran away, how would I be able to run away by myself? ”

At this point, Bai Ning Rou hastily said, ”I was just making an analogy, I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand.”

”Although I can't be the person that escapes the marriage with you, I can still help you solve your problem as a friend.” Zhou Tian laughed, then said, ”I can use the Old Master's power. I think, with his power, it shouldn't be difficult for him to help the Bai Clan.”

Bai Ning Rou was moved by Zhou Tian's words. If what Zhou Tian said was true, then the one she should be worried about would be the Wu family and not the Bai family. However, these were Zhou Tian's empty words, and she was willing to believe them. They would not take the risk of becoming enemies with the Wu Clan to believe Zhou Tian.

Unless, with Zhou Tian's identity, he wasn't a simple friend, but …

As she thought of this, Bai Ning Rou's face began to heat up again. She and Zhou Tian could only chat. She didn't hate Zhou Tian, but as for love, it was still far from enough.

”I know what you're worried about. No matter, on your birthday, I will take care of these matters for you and treat it as my birthday present to you.”

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left. He still wanted to take the noon ride to the Qingshan Funeral Home.

”Thank you, really.”

Bai Ning's soft voice sounded from behind him.

Zhou Tian had a smile on his face as he said, ”Actually, when you were sleeping, I pinched your nose a few times. It felt pretty good.”

”You bastard!” Bai Ning Rou shouted angrily.

Then one of them laughed for some reason and lay on the sofa, feeling the fatigue of the past few days had all been swept away.
