At the thought of this, she held his hand tightly, as if afraid he would leave.A faint smile crept over Lu Shijin's lips, and then he gently pulled her hand away. Before she could react, he directly held her in his embrace, his arms around her waist.Tang Ruochu exclaimed in surprise and wrapped her arms around his neck.He stared at her affectionately with a devilish smile. "Let's do something else, and then you won't have time to make blind and disorderly conjectures."Tang Ruochu bit her lips and smiled shyly, burying her face in his embrace.Lu Shijin took her out, and the room regained its silence.Han Yichen had thought that since he had sought connections with the daughter of a rich and powerful family, he would be on his way to reaching the peak of the world.Never had he expected that he would fall before reaching that peak.He stood to one side with an indifferent expression on his face and listened quietly to Yang Qianqian's conversation with her father."Dad, what
The next day, Tang Ruochu woke up almost at noon.She heard a burst of sweet-sounding laughter from the lower floor on her way downstairs.She frowned and followed the laughter to the door of the kitchen.In the kitchen, Auntie Wu and Ming Xiaoxiao were having a good time chatting.When Ming Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of her, she immediately stopped talking with Auntie Wu and turned to address her with a broad smile, "Sister-in-law."Auntie Wu turned around at her words, and a loving smile formed on her face when she saw Tang Ruochu. "Young Madam, you're awake. Are you hungry?"Tang Ruochu walked over and shook her head gently. "I'm not hungry."Then her gaze landed on the dumplings neatly placed on the kneading board on the counter. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are we going to eat dumplings at noon?""Yes." Auntie Wu nodded and added with a smile, "Xiaoxiao wanted to make dumplings for Young Master, so we simply made enough dumplings for everyone."Tang Ruochu nodded an
When she saw Xiaoxiao's face immediately turning lively, a long sigh echoed in Tang Ruochu's heart."Well, just let it be."She turned around, only to meet Lu Shijin's deep gaze.He seemed to be saying that she should not have said that.However, since they had come all the way here, he would just leave it like that.She gave him a helpless look.It was lunchtime."Shijin, eat more."Ming Xiaoxiao kept picking dumplings on her plate onto the one in front of Lu Shijin.Seeing that, Tang Ruochu gently raised her brows but did not utter anything as she watched Lu Shijin with a smile.The latter also looked up at her.She immediately appeared pitiful and pointed her chopsticks at the dumplings that were about to be finished on her plate.Lu Shijin cocked one eyebrow silently and then naturally passed the dumplings from Ming Xiaoxiao to Tang Ruochu.Ming Xiaoxiao noticed his action and stopped picking up dumplings. She raised her eyes to Tang Ruochu. At the same time, she saw t
After the lunch, Tang Ruochu sent Ming Xiaoxiao back to the hotel and then headed to the hospital.She was going to "visit" Zhao Xiaowan.Zhao Xiaowan did not seem surprised by her arrival."You should just leave us here," Zhao Xiaowan said to the caretaker.After the caretaker left, she pulled the blanket over her legs, not uttering a word or looking at Tang Ruochu.It was very quiet in the ward.Tang Ruochu looked around and slightly curved her lips. "It's not bad in a VIP sickroom. It's better to recover yourself here than to be held in custody, right, Xiaowan?"She deliberately emphasized the word "Xiaowan" with ridicule in her voice.Zhao Xiaowan turned around to look out of the windows, ignoring her.Tang Ruochu did not take it to heart. She walked to the windows and turned around to meet Zhao Xiaowan's gaze.Perhaps Zhao Xiaowan had not been expecting her to walk over, because she looked a little stunned.Tang Ruochu stared at her, iciness filling her eyes. "Xiaowan,
After she had left, Zhao Xiaowan felt her legs go limp and she fell backward on the sofa.She still looked a little terrified. Tang Ruochu's words kept echoing in her mind and she started to feel worried about Ruoruo."Can Ruoruo handle the present Tang Ruochu?"Leaving the hospital, Tang Ruochu specially made a trip to the Tang family mansion.Last time, when the shareholders' meeting was over, Zhao Xiaowan had been held up by the police for investigation, and Gu Ruoruo had also moved out of the house.Therefore, no one was living in the building right now.She opened the door and walked through. The familiar scene reduced Tang Ruochu to a complex state of mind.Everything there had been made by her father and mother. They had said that they would give her a warm, sweet, and happy home.At that time, she had really believed that the three of them would walk down a happy path.However, reality was always cruel. Her father had an affair and her mother had died after suffering f
Uncle Zhao had gone missing.Hearing Zhao Qiyang out, Tang Ruochu had such an idea in her mind.Things might not be that simple.Tang Ruochu thought for a moment and told Zhao Qiyang, "Well, come somewhere with me. We'll ask her where Uncle Zhao went."Zhao Qiyang furrowed his brows and sized her up with doubtful eyes. "Isn't she also from the Tang family? Doesn't she know where my dad went?"Seeing through his doubt, Tang Ruochu smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I haven't been living here for a long time, so I'm not aware of the details of your dad's whereabouts.""I see." Zhao Qiyang finally understood and then smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was like that, so..."Tang Ruochu smilingly shook her head. "That's okay. It's normal for you to think like that."Tang Ruochu returned to the hospital. Once Zhao Xiaowan saw her, she instantly pulled a long face. "Why did you come again?"Zhao Xiaowan noticed that this time she was not alone. Instead, she had brought an ext
There was a shadow at the bottom of Zhao Xiaowan's eyes. Her hands clenched beneath the blanket.She knew best where Uncle Zhao had gone.Now if Tang Ruochu called the police, they would start looking into it and she could be exposed.By that time, it might not be so easy for her to get away, and it would also cause Ruoruo bigger trouble.Therefore, she suddenly let out a scream of surprise.Tang Ruochu and Zhao Qiyang immediately turned to look at her. They saw her considering something and it seemed that there were words on the tip of her tongue.Tang Ruochu frowned. "Zhao Xiaowan, just say it if you want to. Don't pull a stunt.""I'm worried that he might get angry." Zhao Xiaowan cast a glance at Zhao Qiyang.Zhao Qiyang immediately said, "As long as I can find out my father's whereabouts, I won't get angry."Zhao Xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay, then I'll tell you..."She paused for a second. "Uncle Zhao went to find his old lover.""Old lover?"Tang Ruochu knitt
Coming out of the hospital, Tang Ruochu and Zhao Qiyang went to the police station in person.After hearing the situation they had described, the police immediately opened a case on it.Though they had not yet found Uncle Zhao, Zhao Qiyang kept thanking her.Tang Ruochu knew Uncle Zhao's disappearance must be related to herself. Therefore, in the face of Zhao Qiyang's gratitude, she had felt guiltier inside.After saying goodbye to Zhao Qiyang at the police station, Tang Ruochu directly headed home. She planned to have a good rest before dinner. However, Ming Xiaoxiao showed up.She did not come alone. Instead, she brought a suitcase with her.Tang Ruochu's gaze swept over the case beside Ming Xiaoxiao and then settled on Ming Xiaoxiao's face. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Xiaoxiao, you're...""I'm going to live here for some time," Ming Xiaoxiao grinned and answered.Tang Ruochu raised her brows in surprise. "Live here for some time? Did Shijin agree?"Ming Xiaoxiao shook
