Chapter 2024: Together
She looked up from his arms and looked at his impeccable facial features and clean and handsome face. She held her hands up and kissed his pink lips.
He held her hand in his warm palm. “He said that you still have him in your heart.”
Tang Wu was stunned for a moment before she regained her senses and rubbed his face. “Do you believe him just because he said so? Can’t you tell how much I like you now?”
He looked at her, his eyes dark. “Don’t lie to me.”
Tang Wu smiled. “You’re really gullible.”
After breakfast, Tang Wu asked him, “Are you training for the day?”
“Instructor Chen arranged an apartment for me and I’m moving in the afternoon.”
Tang Wu brushed his messy hair and looked at his pleasing face. She smiled and said, “I’ll help you.”
“Okay.”
…
Tang Wu went to the company in the morning.
When it was time to meet Lan Yue, she drove to his dormitory.
He did not have many things. A backpack and two boxes were his everything.
The dormitory that Instructor Chen had arranged for him was not far from the training center and it was only a five-minute drive away.
The apartment had been deserted for a long time and was covered in dust.
“I’ll clean it.” Lan Yue did not let Tang Wu do anything. He had moved the things up himself.
Tang Wu’s red lips curled up. “You don’t like me doing housework, do you?”
“I’m afraid of dirtying your clothes.”
“It’s just clothes. What does it matter?” Tang Wu rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.
Lan Yue took out a white s.h.i.+rt from his bag. “Wear this outside.”
Tang Wu took the white s.h.i.+rt and instead of putting it on, she stared at him without blinking. “Since we met, you seemed to have never worn a white s.h.i.+rt.”
He hummed. “I don’t have much chance to wear it during training.”
“Can you wear it for me to see?”
Seeing the antic.i.p.ation in her eyes, he pursed his pink lips and hummed in agreement.
He took the s.h.i.+rt and went into the bedroom.
Tang Wu took off the dust cover from the sofa and sat on the sofa.
After a while, the boy in a white s.h.i.+rt came out.
Tang Wu’s gaze was fixed on him.
She felt like her blood was going to freeze.
He looked even cleaner, handsome, and exquisite in his white s.h.i.+rt.
He was definitely one of the most handsome men she had ever seen in a white s.h.i.+rt.
Of course, his impression of the Crown Prince was that he looked good in a white s.h.i.+rt.
But the Crown Prince and Lan Yue were different.
He had his sleeves rolled up and was wearing the sports watch she had given him on his left wrist. His fingers were long, clean and distinct.
Tang Wu was not stingy with her praise. “Ah Yue looks really good in the white s.h.i.+rt. I almost had a nosebleed.”
“Then I’ll go change.”
This boy was so honest!
After Lan Yue changed into his sports attire, he cleaned the place with Tang Wu.
Of course, he did not let her do much work. He handed her only a cloth and a broom. He was basically the only one doing the work for two hours.
After cleaning the apartment, Tang Wu suggested taking him out for dinner. He shook his head. “There’s a kitchen here. You can cook.”
Tang Wu had almost forgotten that Brother Lan had another advantage. The food he cooked was very delicious.
“I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and vegetables. You can watch television here,” he said considerately.
Tang Wu held his arm. “I haven’t been to the supermarket with you!”
He looked at her and his pink lips lifted slightly. “Together?”
“Okay.”
When he went out, there was still a smile on his lips.
Tang Wu was infected by him and her mood became relaxed and happy although she did not know why this silly boy was laughing.
Were they that happy just shopping in the supermarket?
…
In the supermarket.
Tang Wu realized that he had bought two pairs slippers. He smiled as he bought a pair of blue and pink cups too.
Then, he did not dare to look at her.
He was still so easily embarra.s.sed.
“You buy it. I’ll go look around. Anyway, give me everything you want to buy.”
He nodded with his ears red. “Alright.”
…
Tang Wu walked around the supermarket.
She did not expect to meet Meng Rui.
Meng Rui’s abdomen was slightly protruding and it seemed like she was pregnant, but her face looked a little pale.
Meng Rui had accompanied her mother to the supermarket to buy things. She had not expected to meet Tang Wu.
However, even if she did not meet Tang Wu here, she would still go and find her.
“Sister Tang Wu.” Meng Rui’s eyes were filled with tears as she walked toward Tang Wu pitifully. “Brother Xiurui hasn’t even answered my calls recently. I’m pregnant with his child. Sister Tang Wu, I beg you to return Brother Xiurui to me.”
At the same time, Mother Meng looked at Tang Wu sharply. Her gaze was like she was looking at the vixen who had s.n.a.t.c.hed her daughter’s man.
Tang Wu could not help but roll her eyes. “You sound like I ruined your relations.h.i.+p with Lin Xiurui.”
“Isn’t it?” Meng Rui sniffed and said softly, “We only got together after you broke up with Brother Xiurui. I didn’t destroy your relations.h.i.+p, but after I got together with Brother Xiurui, he couldn’t forget you. Isn’t this ruining it?”
If Meng Rui wasn’t pregnant, Tang Wu really wanted to slap her.
She had wanted to vent her anger on the night of the fifth anniversary of her relations.h.i.+p with Lin Xiurui. She only let it go when she realized that Lin Xiurui was not so important to her and did not look for that cheating couple.
Now that they had met, this b*tch wanted to climb on top of her?
Tang Wu’s red lips curled into a sneer. “Miss Meng, if you’re sick, go back and find Lin Xiurui to prescribe you medicine. Why are you acting innocent here? Do you think everyone will fall for your tricks when you steal their boyfriends? You’re still so scheming even though you’re pregnant. Be careful not to lead the child astray…”
Before Tang Wu could finish, her face felt hot.
Mrs. Meng, who was beside Meng Rui, had opened the thermos and poured water on Tang Wu’s face.
She was so fast that Tang Wu could not react in time.
Tang Wu felt a pain on her face. The moment she froze, Mother Meng fell to the ground and started crying.
“Oh my G.o.d, how could there be such a bad woman in this world? Not only did she steal someone else’s boyfriend, she even cursed the child in her stomach. She’s so ruthless. You’re going to get struck by lightning!”
The supermarket was crowded and with Mrs. Meng’s shout, many people gathered around them.
Tang Wu wiped the water off her face. Faced with the people pointing at her, she was embarra.s.sed yet calm.
She took out her phone from her bag and opened the photo alb.u.m. “The night of my fifth anniversary with Lin Xiurui, you came into the house leaning on him. Looking at your stomach now, the child was conceived that night, right?”
“You’re a real mistress. How dare you ruin my relations.h.i.+p with Lin Xiurui and make a scene here with your mother?”
Tang Wu opened the video on her phone. “Come, I’ll record a video. The two of you can throw a tantrum as much as you want. When the time comes, let my friends in the industry see who’s stealing whose man.”
“Mrs. Meng, did you see who you threw the water at? I’m not one to be trifled with. I heard that your husband has been looking for some connections to work with the Tang Corporation recently. Do you think he will divorce you if he finds out that he has a wife like you?”
Mrs. Meng and Meng Rui’s expressions changed.
However, with so many people surrounding them, they could not bring themselves to apologize. Meng Rui straightened her neck and said, “We’re talking about private matters. Why are you talking about work? Y-You’re just bullying people!”
Tang Wu’s s.h.i.+rt was wet, but she did not look disheveled at all. Her eyes were arrogant and lazy. “So what?”
“Sister Tang Wu, no wonder I could seduce Brother Xiurui so easily. Even if he still remembers you, it’s because he hasn’t gotten you yet. Men won’t like such headstrong women like you. Once they get you, they will immediately get tired of you.”
Tang Wu raised her eyebrows. “I’m sorry. I’ve already found a man who is a hundred times better than Lin Xiurui. He’s handsome and young, but the main thing is that he’s good to me. Even if Lin Xiurui kneels down and begs me now, I won’t take another look at him.”
Meng Rui did not believe that Tang Wu had found a new boyfriend so quickly. “Sister Tang Wu, you don’t have to be stubborn. Didn’t you like Brother Xiurui because he was handsome? I don’t deny that there are many handsome men in the city, but most of them are in the royal family. Take the Crown Prince for example. If he doesn’t like Bo Cixue, would he like you?”
Tang Wu glanced at Meng Rui like she was looking at a fool.
The pregnancy must have made her stupid!
She had actually dragged her best friend into the matter!
Just as Tang Wu was about to say something, a clear voice trailed over. “What’s wrong?”
The boy who spoke walked up to Tang Wu. When he saw her flushed cheeks and wet s.h.i.+rt, his dark eyes turned cold and he looked at Meng Rui and Mother Meng.
Tang Wu, who was standing beside him, did not see his cold gaze.
Meng Rui froze when she saw the tall boy who was nearly a head taller than Tang Wu.
It was as Tang Wu had said. The person in front of her was taller, more handsome, and younger than Lin Xiurui. Moreover, he looked like he cared a lot about Tang Wu.
Tang Wu grabbed Lan Yue’s hand and he immediately grabbed hers.
She looked up slightly and smiled at him. “I’m fine. I met two idiots.”
Even though Mrs Meng had thrown it at her, she would not throw it back. However, she would not let it go so easily.
…
That night.
When Meng Rui and Mrs. Meng returned home, they saw that Mr Meng was also at home.
Mr. Meng looked at the mother and daughter with a dark expression. “It was embarra.s.sing for our daughter to get pregnant before marriage, but I can’t believe that you were so insensible and went to trouble Miss Tang. Do you know that with this, I can forget about working with the Tang family in the future? Not only that, our Meng family’s business in the capital will be in danger in the future!”
Meng Rui and Mrs. Meng’s expressions changed and they quibbled.
Mr. Meng threw a video from the supermarket in front of them. “The Tang family has already sent this video to my phone. If Miss Tang’s face is injured, you should prepare to disfigure yourselves and beg her for forgiveness!”
…
Lan Yue accompanied Tang Wu to the hospital for a checkup. Fortunately, she was fine.
Tang Wu ate at Lan Yue’s apartment that night.
Lin Xiurui called her several times but she was annoyed and blocked him after rejecting the call several times.
Lan Yue came out of the kitchen and happened to see Tang Wu’s straightforward action.
Tang Wu looked up at Lan Yue, who was in deep thought. Her lips curled up. “Are you afraid?”
He hummed. “I’m very stupid when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps. If one day, you feel that I’m not suitable for you, you have to tell me yourself. I… won’t bother you.”
