After watching Tian Yong being dragged out by the security guards, Zhuang Liu moved his wheelchair back in satisfaction. When he turned around, he saw Tan Rou looking at him from not far away.
Tan Rou crossed her arms and leaned against the glazed brick at the door. She looked at Zhuang Liu with a faint smile.
Zhuang Liu did not feel embarrassed at all. He greeted Tan Rou from afar. âRourou, youâre awake.â
âI didnât sleep at all.â Tan Rou shook her head lightly and replied.
Zhuang Liu frowned. âHow can you not take a nap? There was still some time left, you should at least rest a little.â
âSleep in the car later.â Tan Rou walked over. â1â11 push you back home.â
âDid you hear what I said just now?â Zhuang Liu asked.
âI followed you out. I heard that idiot Tian Yong calling me, and I saw you upstairs.â Tan Rou replied.
Zhuang Liuâs heart raced for a few seconds. âDid you come down because of me?â
Tan Rou didnât give him a direct answer. Instead, she asked him in return, âDidnât you come out because you heard Tian Yong calling me?â
Zhuang Liu did not object because he had come out because he heard Tian Yong shout. However, he felt a little sour in his heart because Tan Rou remembered Tian Yongâs name the moment she met him.
âXiao Rou knows his name.â Zhuang Liu said with jealousy.
This was the first time Tan Rou heard something like this coming out of his mouth. She leaned down to look at Zhuang Liuâs expression. Zhuang Liuâs expression was obvious, but there were still some micro-expressions. For example, he frowned, and the corners of his mouth curled down slightly.
This was completely different from the usual Zhuang Liu. The usual Zhuang Liu would smile and reveal that familiar cold face.
However, she did not expect Zhuang Liu to show a jealous expression. This made Tan Rou feel very strange. If it were not for the fact that her phone was not with her now, she would take a photo of Zhuang Liu.
âAre you perhaps jealous?â Tan Rou placed a hand on Zhuang Liuâs shoulder and asked with a smile. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhuang Liu sighed. âXiao Rou is too outstanding. This gives me a deep sense of crisis.â
âWhat?! Arenât you confident in your own charm?âTan Rou asked deliberately.
âHow is that possible?â Zhuang Liu would never admit that he was not charming enough.
âThen thatâs it.â Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu to his house. âSince youâre so confident, what are you worried about?â
Zhuang Liu listened to Tan Ronâs words and felt full of confidence. It was as if he was the only man in the world who was worthy of Tan Rou.
âYouâre right.â Zhuang Liu nodded and said, â1 wonât think like this again.â
âYour legs have almost recovered. You can completely get rid of the wheelchair.â Tan Rou said.
When Zhuang Liu heard this, his mood suddenly became depressed. His biggest problem now was that his legs had not recovered, and he could not catch up to Tan Rou.
Moreover, the undercurrents in the Zhuang family made Zhuang Liu not dare to try it hastily. If he failed, his family would end up in a tragic state, and even Tan Rou would be implicated by him.
âNo, there are many pairs of eyes staring at me now. 1 canât easily expose myself.â Zhuang Liu said seriously, âAnd 1 have to take care of you, Rourou. If someone finds out that my leg has recovered, they will definitely investigate who did it. Once they find out that you treated me, you will be in a perilous situation.â
Tan Rou smiled and reminded Zhuang Liu, âThird Brother, have you forgotten what my identity is now?â
âWhat?â Zhuang Liu was stunned. Then, he remembered Tan Ronâs current identity.
Tan Rou was no longer the daughter of an ordinary company employee or housewife. She was now the daughter of the Tao family from the Capital.
The status of the Tao family in the Capital was basically no different from that of the Zhuang family in the capital. Even if Tan Rou were exposed as the person who treated Zhuang Liu, the Zhuang family in the capital would have to consider whether they could shake the Tao familyâs status in the capital.
âIndeed, Xiao Rou doesnât need my protection anymore.â Zhuang Liu smiled bitterly. He could not protect Tan Rou now, but he had lost his original position advantage.
Tan Rou sensed Zhuang Liuâs emotions. She comforted Zhuang Liu, âIâve never needed Third Brother Zhuangâs protection, but Iâve always needed Third Brother Zhuangâs help. Letâs help each other. 1 hope that we can stand on equal footing, and you shall not protect me like a weakling..â
