Chapter 815: Chapter 817: Nothing Is Absolute
Tang Rong suddenly turned red when she heard Miaomiao say that; how could this child speak so recklessly? But she stayed silent, wanting to see how Xiao Yifei would respond.
Xiao Yifei joked, “Why are you even ddling in this? You’re practically becoming my mom. You’re not that young anymore, how co you haven’t found a boyfriend?”
“What do you an I’m not that young? I’m only 22 this year, there’s no rush for these things. But you, if you don’t find a girlfriend soon, you’ll beco an unwanted bachelor!” Miaomiao continued.
“Oh, look how capable you are, calling an unwanted bachelor. Don’t you know n beco more desirable as they age? I’m so handso, I won’t worry about being unwanted. I’m full, heading back to my room.” With that, Xiao Yifei started to leave, and then Tang Rong said, “Don’t forget, it’s your turn to wash the dishes today.”
“Good heavens, spare ! The thing I dislike the most is washing dishes.” Xiao Yifei exclaid and turned into the kitchen.
Watching Xiao Yifei’s back, Miaomiao whispered to Tang Rong, “Sis Rong, I’ve done my best today. You should make your move, otherwise Brother Xiao might truly be snatched away by soone else.”
“Little brat, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even think highly of him!” Tang Rong defended herself.
“Don’t deny it, I can see your little thoughts. If you didn’t like him, why would you care so much? You’re like a kid holding a bunch of candies, with the candy wrappers showing, but fiercely shaking your head saying, ‘No, I don’t have any.’
Tang Rong’s little secret was exposed; her face turned red up to her neck. She carefully leaned towards Miaomiao’s ear and asked, “Is it that obvious? I thought I was hiding it pretty well.”
“You call that hiding it well? Every night at dinner, when you hear noises from the hallway, you eagerly look towards the door, hoping it’s Brother Xiao coming back!”
“You little brat, you’re sharp. But don’t talk about this in front of him; I still want to save face.” Tang Rong acted like a teenage girl.
“Since you’re aware of it now, let’s go to the room and chat.” Tang Rong dragged Miaomiao into her room and closed the door; their private conversation couldn’t be overheard by Xiao Yifei.
The two of them nestled on Tang Rong’s big bed. “Miaomiao, do you think Xiao Yifei likes ? He didn’t directly answer your question tonight!” Tang Rong asked anxiously. “I don’t know, but I think he might have a liking towards you. Did you notice? Tonight when I asked him, his face turned red. Besides, I think you two are a perfect match—a talented man and a beautiful woman, a natural pair.” Miaomiao thought of sothing else,
“Sis Rong, did nothing really happen between you and Brother Xiao that night?”
Tang Rong almost forgot about it, and Miaomiao brought it up again. “Nothing really happened. Things aren’t as you imagine. I was just tired that night, and he offered to give a massage. Maybe sothing could have happened, but you little brat interrupted.”
“Sis Rong, I was wrong. I just happened to want water that mont, but then…”
“Actually, at the ti, I didn’t have feelings for him, so nothing would have happened. What kind of girls do you think Xiao Yifei likes? Oh, and I have to go on a blind date in a few days. My mom has been pestering about it; I’ve already turned down three or four.
But this ti, I really can’t decline. I heard the guy is the son of a leader from my dad’s company, so there’s no way to refuse. It’s all because of my mom, worried I won’t get married. I really don’t know what to do with her. Do you have ti tomorrow?”
The eternal topic of conversation between won is n. As they chatted, they got tired. Tang Rong said, “You can sleep here tonight; it’s cold outside. Keep sis company for the night.” And then they slept.
Xiao Yifei tossed and turned on the bed, falling asleep late. Miaomiao, that little brat, really dares to say anything. Her question today almost made admit I like Tang Rong. Why did she say such a thing? Could she have noticed that I like Tang Rong? Impossible, I’ve always hidden it well.
But what is Tang Rong’s attitude towards ? I can’t feel her liking at all. She’s very cold towards now, barely saying a few words a day. Xiao Yifei kept tossing and turning, pondering these questions into the midnight.
Su Mang slept uneasily the entire night, waking up several tis, caught in recurring dreams. The thes were similar: she was running wildly with two killers unknown who sent after her wanting to kill her, only to find no path ahead.
Two villains captured her to extort ransom. She told them, “My dad would never co to save . He always resented for being a daughter. If I disappear, he’d surely be happy.”
Suddenly startled awake, she knew these dreams were driven by her fear. But thinking over her words to the villains revealed her lingering doubts about her father, though she dared not admit them.
It surely can’t be father. Despite his past resentnt for not being born a boy, he loves nonetheless. Su Mang’s mind was in turmoil. Her subconscious suspected her father might harm her, but she couldn’t accept such an outco. Fear and anxiety engulfed her.
She dared not go back to sleep, fearing more terrifying dreams would co. She opened her phone, looking for soone to talk to, realizing such matters can’t be casually shared. Browsing through her contacts, the only person she could speak to was Xiao Yifei. She almost dialed him but quickly hung up.
It wouldn’t be good to disturb him in the middle of the night, besides they’re not close enough to have late-night chats. Her fears remained unspoken. Two minutes later, Xiao Yifei called back: “What’s up? Is sothing wrong?”
Warmth rose in Su Mang’s heart, like sunshine lting her frozen heart.
“It’s nothing, I was just feeling scared and wanted soone to talk to. Looking around, I could only think to call you. Did I wake you?” “No, I just got up to use the bathroom and saw your call when I returned. Glad you’re okay. If you’re scared, I can keep you company for a while.”
“You know, I’m terrified he might really be my dad. Ever since I found out I was drugged, my subconscious has suspected as much. I’ve just never dared to admit it.”
Then Su Mang recounted her earlier dream to Xiao Yifei. “It’s okay, it’s just stress. Don’t overthink it; we’ll soon find the answer. Could you talk about your father?” Xiao Yifei asked cautiously. He was curious about what happened between father and daughter, causing Su Mang to resent her father.
“My father is actually good to . I’ve always thought of myself as his pride. But one day, during an argunt with my mom, he reproached her for not giving him a son. Then I knew he was never truly proud of .
I used to be a spoiled second-generation rich kid. Hearing him say that spurred to study hard, working my way up from the company’s bottom to now fully in charge. My journey was hard, but I persevered, fueled by the urge to prove myself to him.”
