Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

178 178 Tao Qi’s worry

After dinner, Mr. Fang politely saw the three of them off.

Xiao Mo drove Tan Rou home. This time, he had learned his lesson. He did not drive so slowly that Tan Rou would suspect him, but he still deliberately took his time so that Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou could spend some time together.

Tan Rou solved a big problem at school, went to see Old Master Lu, and even had a sumptuous dinner. This day was particularly fulfilling and satisfying.

Even though Tan Rou was used to a cold face, she inadvertently showed a satisfied expression at this time, like a kitten that had its fur stroked.

!!

Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou lovingly. “Remember to send me a message if there’s anything. Don’t leave me hanging for too long but you don’t have to miss me all the time. Just take good care of yourself.”

Tan Rou nodded casually. “I know. You’ve told me this many times. I know.”

Zhuang Liu laughed. In the beginning, Tan Rou was still a distance away from him and spoke politely, but now she was impatient and had become closer to him.

Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu with a smile. “Remember to take the medicine I gave you. In two days, we’ll be going through the second treatment. Your condition is much better now so you have to eat more too.”

Zhuang Liu mimicked Tan Rou and nodded impatiently. “I know. You’ve told me this many times!” Then, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Tan Rou mischievously.

Tan Rou couldn’t help but grin. The two laughed foolishly and looked at each other. The atmosphere was just right.

Xiao Mo chuckled and said, “Are you treating each other like children? Both of you are geniuses but you’re still so worried about each other. You’re constantly nagging at each other over such small matters.” After he finished speaking, he even felt that he was very humorous and grinned.

Poor Xiao Mo didn’t understand that they only did so because they were worried about each other. No matter how strong a person was, they would become childish in such an atmosphere.

Therefore, when Zhuang Liu’s piercing gaze landed on Xiao Mo, the single man realized that he had said the wrong words.

Tan Rou bade farewell to the high-spirited Zhuang Liu when she arrived at her house. She glanced at Xiao Mo, who was sitting in front of her with his head hung low, and gloated at his misfortune.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard Tao Qi’s hurried footsteps, the floor creaking as he stomped on it.

“You’re back! What happened?” Tao Qi asked impatiently. His big eyes were filled with concern that even he did not notice!

Tan Rou gently touched Tao Qi’s little head. “Of course, I’m fine. Don’t you know my strength? I didn’t do it, so no one can accuse me of it.”

Mrs. Tao was making pear soup in the kitchen. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Tan Rou didn’t want to tell Mrs. Tao about the ridiculous things that Tan Jing had done. Mr. And Mrs. Tao had already completely despised Tan Jing, and if she said more, it would only make them worry for her. “It’s nothing. There was a misunderstanding during the exam today, but it’s been resolved.”

Mrs. Tao nodded. “That’s good. Rou’er, you must’ve had a hard time with your exams today. I’ve made some pear soup for you to try. It’ll help to reduce the heatiness.”

Tan Rou agreed with a smile.

It was rare that Tao Qi’s attention wasn’t diverted by the food. He was still thinking about Tan Rou. When he heard Tan Rou say that it was settled, he turned his head awkwardly. “That’s good. Don’t do anything embarrassing. Aren’t you very powerful at home? How did you get accused?! You only know how to bully me. Why were you even brought to the principal’s office?”

Tan Rou narrowed her eyes. “How did you know about that? You even know when I go to the principal’s office.”

Tao Qi blinked, not willing to say anything.

Tan Rou guessed that it was because of Tan Jing. She thought that Tan Rou was done for this time, so she couldn’t help but inform Tao Qi of her little tricks. She also wanted Tao Qi to quickly tell his family and have them rush to school to give her a good scolding.

Unfortunately, her plan failed.

Tan Rou randomly rubbed Tao Qi’s hair and said with a smirk, “Aren’t you smart too? Think about it. What was the intention of the person who told you about this? Who had the motive and ability to do what I was accused of?”

Tao Qi’s heart sank.

From the beginning, he had felt that something was wrong. Why was Tan Rou accused of cheating? Why didn’t Sister Jingjing believe him when he had anxiously explained it to her? Tan Rou said that she had a motive and ability. Could it be…”

Tan Rou lowered her voice so that Mrs. Tao wouldn’t hear her, then whispered in Tao Qi’s ear, “Director Wang, who wronged me, said that the Tan family promised him some benefits. I have the video of it as evidence. I didn’t make this up.”
