However, when she saw the ssage pop up on the phone screen, her calm eyes suddenly narrowed.
Tang Yige bit her lower lip, a surge of anger rose from her chest, unstoppable.
Imdiately, Tang Yige dialed the phone.
The call got through, but no one answered!
Tang Yige sneered.
Not answering, huh?
Then she’ll keep calling until he picks up!
Tang Yige called four tis in a row, and it wasn’t until the fourth ti that the other party slowly answered the phone.
"Rong Sinan, you are too much!"
As soon as the call connected, Tang Yige yelled into the phone, her face flushed with anger.
After her outburst, Tang Yige’s anger didn’t subside at all, and the other end just hung up the call.
Tang Yige, "..."
Instantly, she felt like she was breathing fire!
With the corners of her eyes red with anger, Tang Yige pressed her lips together tightly, stabbed the phone screen harshly, and called again.
This ti, the other party still didn’t answer.
Tang Yige ground her teeth, continuing to call and swear, "Rong Sinan, you’re such a bastard, an asshole, I must have been blind to like you!"
Tang Yige called another four or five tis before the other side picked up again.
"Rong Sinan, what do you an?" Tang Yige clenched her fist, standing up from the sofa at so point.
There was a mont of silence on the other end, then soone’s gentle and soothing voice slowly ca through the phone, "I think now’s not a good ti for us to talk. Call back when you’ve cald down."
After saying that, Rong Sinan hung up on Tang Yige again!
"Ah!"
Tang Yige was driven nearly insane by Rong Sinan.
She paced back and forth in the living room, barely suppressing the raging fire in her chest.
Tang Yige held her forehead with one hand, took a few deep breaths, and picked up the phone, redialing.
After a long while, the other end finally answered.
Tang Yige closed her eyes, trying hard to make her voice sound calm, even though she was about to explode with irritation, "Rong Sinan, what do you want?"
"Now you’re willing to talk properly?" Rong Sinan’s voice was cool and steady.
Tang Yige gritted her teeth in hatred, "Just say it, what do you want?"
"What do I want, don’t you know?" Rong Sinan said softly, sounding especially tranquil in the deep night.
But at this mont, Yige found his calm tone exceptionally grating.
"Rong Sinan, no matter what, my father is still your father-in-law, shouldn’t you lend a helping hand?" Tang Yige clenched her hand and said.
"Soon, he won’t be." Rong Sinan said.
"..."
Tang Yige frowned, "What do you an?"
"Listen well, Tang Yige. Either you obediently fulfill our contract, or I’ll send your father back to the police station. You know, that’s not hard for ." Rong Sinan didn’t answer Yige’s question and said instead.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yige got angry again, "Rong Sinan, how can you say such a thing? You’re a married man now, we’ve already done sothing unethical, can’t we just go back to our own lives and play the roles we should play?"
"Soon, it won’t be like that." Rong Sinan repeated.
Tang Yige held her breath, "I really don’t understand you, Rong Sinan..."
"You don’t need to understand . Our contract was established with mutual consent from the start. Now that you’ve used to achieve your goals, you want to unilaterally terminate the contract. Tang Yige, do you think I, Rong Sinan, am that easy to deal with?" Rong Sinan coldly scorned.
"Then what do you want?" Tang Yige growled.
"...Continue our contract." After a few seconds of contemplation, Rong Sinan said heavily.
"Impossible, Rong Sinan. I can’t continue that kind of relationship with you anymore." Tang Yige said firmly.
"Is that so? Then it seems like you don’t mind your father going to the police station again. But Tang Yige, if your father ends up there this ti, don’t expect to help you get him out, it’ll never happen." Rong Sinan said coldly.
"You’re despicable!"
Tang Yige was trembling with anger!
She certainly believed that Rong Sinan had the ability to send her father back to the police station.
And if her father went in this ti, besides Rong Sinan, even if she sold herself in pieces, no one would dare to help her.
"I’ll give you three days to consider. I’ll be back in the country in three days, and if I don’t see you at the airport... Tang Yige, you know the consequences!"
"Rong Sinan, do you have to be like this?"
"Yes!"
"I hate you!"
Rong Sinan didn’t respond, only his breathing beca slightly heavier before he hung up the call.
Listening to the dial tone from the phone.
Tang Yige collapsed, holding her head, trembling and closing her eyes, too furious to speak!
...
Near evening the next day, Zhang Lan brought her daughter Zhang Xu to France.
Zhang Xu seed to have been recently upset, appearing very thin with poor ntal condition.
As soon as they arrived ho, Zhang Lan quickly tidied up a room for Zhang Xu to rest.
Tang Yige and Rong Rui sat on the sofa downstairs, waiting for Zhang Lan to co down.
Hearing the sound of footsteps on the stairs.
Rong Rui climbed onto the sofa, his big eyes shining as he looked at Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan seed much more worn out compared to when she left before, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, but seeing Rong Rui made her smile broadly, and she went up to hug the little guy and kissed his forehead, "I missed Aunt Zhang a lot."
"Hehe." Rong Rui laughed happily, letting Zhang Lan hug him.
It was clear Rong Rui was very happy to have Zhang Lan back.
"Little guy, I’ve only been gone for a few days and you’ve gotten heavier." Zhang Lan said with a smile as she sat down on the sofa with Rong Rui in her arms.
"I’m healthily chubby." Rong Rui raised his little chin proudly!
Zhang Lan and Tang Yige shared a smile.
"Yige, thank you for your hard work these days." Zhang Lan looked at Yige gratefully and said.
Tang Yige shook her head with a smile.
"By the way, I brought so hot pot base from back ho. How about I go to the market to get so ingredients and we have hot pot tonight?" Zhang Lan said.
"Aunt Zhang, what’s hot pot?" Rong Rui looked at Zhang Lan confusedly.
Zhang Lan smiled, pinched his little face, and placed him on the sofa next to her, "Watch Aunt Zhang tonight. Once it’s done, you’ll know what hot pot is."
After saying that, Zhang Lan quickly grabbed her bag to head out.
"Aunt Zhang, you just got back, take a rest. I’ll go with Little Rui to buy the ingredients." Tang Yige stood up and said to Zhang Lan.
"No need, I’m not tired. You don’t even know how to cook, what would you buy? Let go. You and Little Rui stay and wait for at ho," Zhang Lan said, already heading towards the door.
Tang Yige felt a bit awkward.
Indeed, as Zhang Lan said, she could eat vegetables, but didn’t know how to buy them at all!
...
Though homade hot pot isn’t as good as the restaurant, just being able to have hot pot in France was already quite nice.
It was the little guy’s first ti trying it. Zhang Lan was worried it would be too spicy, so she purposely placed a bowl of plain water in front of him to rinse the food before he ate.
But the little guy didn’t even use that bowl of water. Apart from initially getting a bit spicy and gasping, he didn’t stop eating, as if he had suddenly discovered a world-class delicacy, his little mouth couldn’t stop.
Yige hadn’t had hot pot in years, and although her stomach couldn’t really handle such spicy food, she still ate a lot.
Zhang Xu didn’t co downstairs for dinner, saying she had no appetite.
Zhang Lan didn’t force her, since she’d recently had a miscarriage and such heavy flavors weren’t good for her body.
She thought to cook her sothing else to bring up later after dinner.
Seeing how much Yige and Rong Rui were enjoying, Zhang Lan was also delighted, continually adding and serving them food.
The hot pot al lasted almost an hour.
After eating, Yige and Rong Rui both lay on the bed, rubbing their bellies, not wanting to move at all.
Seeing their surprisingly identical postures, Zhang Lan chuckled, not thinking too much of it, and prepared two glasses of lemon honey water, placing them on the coffee table, before going to the kitchen to wash dishes.
Tang Yige stayed at Zhang Lan’s place until almost ten, then planned to go ho, but the little guy Rong Rui insisted on going back with her.
Tang Yige had no choice. With Zhang Lan’s permission, she took the little guy back.
She bathed and got the little guy ready for bed, coaxing him to sleep.
Then Tang Yige walked over to the computer desk, sat down, opened her laptop, and without giving herself a mont to hesitate, she went onto the ticketing website and booked a flight for the day after tomorrow to return ho.
