Chapter 364: I’ll Resign
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Bochuan looked at her for a long time.
The person in front of him had lied to him several times and made him extremely embarra.s.sed.
However, after a long silence, he still got up and went to find the doctor.
The doctor said that Zhen Zhu’s body was fine and she only needed nutrient fluids. If the patient wanted to go out to cat, there was no need to give her nutrient fluids. As long as the food was not too greasy, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
When Tang Bochuan came in with a nurse to take out Zhen Zhu’s IV drip, Zhen Zhu was stunned.
When she saw Tang Bochuan leave without saying a word, she thought she had no change at all. However, she did not expect that he would agree to take her to that restaurant.
As she followed Tang Bochuan out, she was very surprised, but she just laid there without moving.
Tang Bochuan frowned. “Aren’t we going to that restaurant? You’re still not getting up?”
“Before we go to the palace, you have to satisfy one of my requests.”
“The bodyguards are not allowed to follow me in,” Zhen Zhu said. “You’re not allowed, either.”
Qin Kai was instantly indignant. “Our mission is to keep an eye on you. Brother Chuan will never agree to your request!”
“Let me go in and eat alone.”
Zhen Zhu said slowly, “After I come out, I’ll meet Shen Hanyu in return. We can discuss the matter of him letting me go back to Zhen Group.”
Qin Kai quickly said, “No! Who knows if you’ll take the chance to escape? Brother Chuan will be the one in trouble!”
“What do you think, Tang Bochuan?” Zhen Zhu glanced at Tang Bochuan.
Tang Bochuan took a deep breath. He felt that Zhen Zhu was really unruly.
He had been waiting for Zhen Zhu to change her mind all this time.
However, when she relented, she had also raised such a harsh condition.
If she really did as Qin Kai said and took the opportunity to escape…
Seeing that Tang Bochuan was silent, Qin Kai was really anxious.
“Brother Chuan, she must be planning to escape when you let her go eat.”
Qin Kai was extremely anxious. “You trusted her twice before, and were cheated both times. If you make another mistake this time, you can’t stay in Zhen Group anymore. Brother Chuan, don’t trust her. There’s no need to sacrifice your future for such a woman…”
“I can’t stay in Zhen Group,”
Zhen Zhu blinked. “Did Shen Hanyu say that?”
Qin Kai was not in a good mood, “It’s Brother Chuan’s promise to President Shen! If you cause any more trouble, Brother Chuan will have to resign and leave!”
Zhen Zhu suddenly understood and looked at Tang Bochuan with interest. “If I’m not mistaken, you must have gone through a lot of hardships and put in a lot of effort to get to where you are today, right?”
No one knew what she was thinking, but she said, “I won’t hide it from you, I have quite a lot of bad friends. If you’re not careful, I might really run away. By then, all the efforts you’ve made in Zhen Group all these years will go to waste. Tang Bochuan, you’d better think this through.”
“Get up, let’s go.” Tang Bochuan glanced at her.
Zhen Zhu was stunned for a moment before she laughed. “So, you really agree to let me go to the palace alone? Alright, let’s go immediately!”
“Brother Chuan!”
Qin Kai’s expression changed. “You better not bring her along! You must consider this carefully!”
“I know what I’m doing,” Tang Bochuan had clearly made up his mind.
Qin Kai stomped his feet in anxiety, but he was helpless and could only glare at Zhen Zhu.
Zhen Zhu smiled. “Miss nurse, did you bring your lipstick?”
The nurse quickly said, “Yes, I did.”
“Can I borrow it? I’ll use this to exchange with you.” Zhen Zhu took off the Platinum necklace around her neck. “Oh, I also want your hair clip.”
It was a necklace from a luxury brand. Zhen Zhu had brought it with her when she planned her escape a few days ago, and it was very expensive.
The nurse knew that the girl in front of her was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, she would not have a man like Tang Bochuan and a few bodyguards to protect her.
She looked at the necklace and was shocked by the English letters engraved on the lock. “This is too expensive. I can’t take it. My lipstick and hair clip arc not worth that much…”
“It’s fine. I can’t just take your things for free.”
Zhen Zhu seemed to be in a good mood. With a smile on her face, she stuffed the necklace into the nurse’s hand without any explanation.
The nurse quickly removed the hair clip on her head. Zhen Zhu took it and turned to Tang Bochuan. “I’ll go to the bathroom, wait a moment.”
After a while, Zhen Zhu came back. Her slightly curly long hair was tied into a side braid, and she wore a simple and elegant white lace flower hairpin. She looked lazy but also a little pure and obedient.
She had applied lipstick on her lips, and the color was so bright that it covered her pale face.
Zhen Zhu stood at the door and gave Tang Bochuan a bright smile he had never seen before. “Let’s go,” she said.
Tang Bochuan was in a daze. The girl in front of him seemed to overlap with the little girl in his memory.
However, the next moment, Zhen Zhu frowned. “Tang Bochuan? Why arc you being so quiet? I’m telling you, I’m done with my makeup. If you go back on your word, then you won’t be able to bear my anger.”
Tang Bochuan put away his unrealistic thoughts and only felt that he was truly laughable at the moment.
“No one wants to go back on their word, but you’d better not play any tricks,” he calmly said.
Since Zhen Zhu did not allow him to bring any bodyguards, Tang Bochuan did not bring any and drove her to Imperial Palace Restaurant.
The car stopped in front of the place. Tang Bochuan looked at Zhen Zhu expressionlessly. “Go in. I’ll wait for you here.”
Zhen Zhu got out of the car but didn’t leave immediately.
She pressed on the car door. “Hey, you haven’t answered my question.”
“What?” Tang Bochuan asked.
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to work in Zhen Group anymore if I really run away?” Zhen Zhu asked.
Tang Bochuan looked at her for a moment. “If that’s the case, then I’ll just resign.”
Zhen Zhu was slightly startled and her mood was a little complicated.
She had a good first impression of Tang Bochuan. When she had just graduated and went to Zhen Group, Tang Bochuan was her superior and he was very tolerant of her nonsense.
However, ever since Tang Bochuan had been ordered to watch over her and make her study the group’s complicated doc.u.ments and data, Zhen Zhu had only hated him.
However, she did not expect that the person she hated would actually use his own future to gamble on her already precarious credibility.
There was more than just a main gate in the palace. Once she entered, she could leave through another gate.
However, Tang Bochuan did not bring any bodyguards and had no intention of following her in.
“Thanks.”
Zhen Zhu didn’t say that she would definitely come out, nor did she promise that she would never run away. She turned around and entered the restaurant without looking back.
Three hours had pa.s.sed since she entered.
During this period, Qin Kai called Tang Bochuan several times. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Despite that, Tang Bochuan remained unmoved and hung up the phone after saying, “There’s no hurry.”
Tang Bochuan had no idea what he was waiting for.
Three hours pa.s.sed.
How could it take her three hours to eat alone?
However, he still did not step into the restaurant.
He had already vowed to keep his promise.
If she really did escape, then he would accept the worst outcome..
