“You haven’t gotten rid of it yet? What is it?” Tian Tian asked with her head lowered.
Yuan Ze was carrying something with one hand, so he could only use one hand. The flower was stuck in his hair, so it was not easy to take it down.
“Wait a moment. I’ll take it off for you right away.” Yuan Ze said, “It should be a flower that blooms on the roadside trees. It’s relatively small and not easy to get.”
Tian Tian was a little embarra.s.sed. She felt that she was too close to Yuan Ze. Although they addressed each other as brother and sister, they were still a man and a woman who were not related by blood. If others saw them being so intimate, it would cause a bad impression.
“Brother Yuan Ze, I’ll take it myself.” Tian Tian retreated a little. “I don’t need to trouble you.”
Yuan Ze was not very satisfied with her att.i.tude. He felt that Tian Tian was deliberately distancing herself from him. When he said that he wanted to drive her, she rejected him. It was not like this when they were young. At that time, their relationship was very good and they were almost inseparable.
“Tiantian, did 1 do something wrong? Why are you so cold to me now? We were so close when we were young. Have you forgotten?” Yuan Ze asked.
Tian Tian only treated Yuan Ze as an older brother. Even if they were biological siblings, they should avoid arousing suspicion when they grew up. Moreover, they were only siblings who were not related by blood.
“I’ve already grown up, so we should maintain a certain distance between us. It won’t be good if others misunderstand.” Tian Tian said.
“But 1 like…” Before Yuan Ze could finish, he was interrupted by Tian Tian.
“Brother Yuan Ze, wait a moment. I have something to do.” When Tian Tian saw Tao Zhi standing at the front desk, she suddenly felt a little fl.u.s.tered. “I’ll tell you later.”
Tao Zhi felt bitter in his heart. What was the relationship between Tian Tian and this man?
“This is what Aunt Zhou asked me to send over,” Tian Tian said as she jogged to Tao Zhi’s side.
“Thank you,” Tao Zhi said with a smile.
The atmosphere became silent again. Tao Zhi and Tian Tian did not say anything. Yuan Ze, who had followed them, felt that something was wrong.
“What’s your relationship with her?” Yuan Ze suddenly asked.
“He’s Tan Ron’s brother. I’m staying at their house now,” Tian Tian explained.
Tao Zhi looked at Yuan Ze unhappily. “What about you?”
Yuan Ze stood beside Tian Tian and said, “We’re childhood sweethearts. When we were young, Tian Tian clung to me and insisted on being my bride. She will give me a call every single night.”
Tian Tian frowned. She didn’t want Tao Zhi to know about the stupid things she had done when she was young. “Brother Yuan Ze, don’t talk nonsense. That matter is already in the past. Don’t mention it again.”
“Sister Tiantian, are you shy?” Yuan Ze asked.
Tian Tian was afraid. The person she liked now was Tao Zhi. If Tao Zhi knew that she had said she wanted to be someone else’s bride when she was young, he would definitely mind.
“I didn’t.” Tian Tian said angrily.
Tao Zhi thought that she was embarra.s.sed to show off her good relationship with Yuan Ze in front of outsiders. Hence, he offered something else considerately, “I’ve troubled you to bring me things from afar. Why don’t I prepare a lounge for you to rest?”
Tian Tian was shocked. What did Tao Zhi mean by this? Was he trying to chase her away?”
“No need, I’ll send her back immediately,” said Yuan Ze.
“Alright, be careful on the road,” Tao Zhi said.
No wonder Tian Tian didn’t need her family to arrange a chauffeur to send her off. It turned out that someone already sent her off. Their relationship was indeed a close one.
Tian Tian didn’t want Yuan Ze to send her off, but she was too embarra.s.sed to say it directly. “Brother Yuan Ze, didn’t you say that you were going to Jingtai Building to handle some matters?”
Yuan Ze smiled slightly. “I can do them later. The most important thing now is to send you back.”
Tian Tian pursed her lips. “I don’t think 1 should trouble you.”
Yuan Ze put his hand on her shoulder and acted intimate. “What’s our relationship? You don’t even have to think of it that way.”
Tao Zhi did not say anything. It was not appropriate for him to interrupt the matter between them. However, if Tian Tian really needed it, he would send her a car.
At this moment, Tao Zhi’s a.s.sistant called Tao Zhi and asked him to go back to work.
Tian Tian could tell that Tao Zhi was very busy, so she said, “Brother Tao Zhi, you should go back to work. I should be home soon too.”
Tao Zhi glanced at Yuan Ze and Tian Tian and nodded..
