Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss - Chapter 1335

Chapter 1335: 1334 times back to the old house

Zhuang Liu’s heart sank when he heard Tan Rou’s response, and he immediately pressed, “Where are you going tomorrow night?”

Tan Rou owned many properties, but ever since she and Zhuang Liu registered their marriage, they had spent more time living together. Tan Rou stayed in the house in the university town while she was studying, and Zhuang Liu also had a house there, where they often lived together.

Until last night, they had been sleeping in the same bed, but that might not be the case tonight. If Tan Rou went home now, she would definitely stay the night at the old house.

Tan Rou replied, “Let’s discuss tomorrow night’s plans tomorrow. There might be other work I need to do, and I’ll rest wherever is closer when it’s time.”

“Alright,” Zhuang Liu said, “then drive safely, it gets busy at night…”

“Mm, you too,” Tan Rou didn’t even listen to Zhuang Liu finish his sentence before grabbing her bag and leaving.

After Tan Rou had left, Hang Wei also found it inappropriate to stay, and as he was leaving, he said to Zhuang Liu, “She is your wife, not a canary you keep in a cage. Please trust her more when she wants to do her own thing instead of always acting so protective.”

Zhuang Liu said nothing. He stood there woodenly, incapable of stopping Tan Rou from leaving.

In the large private room, only Xiao Mo and Zhuang Liu remained. Xiao Mo stood by Zhuang Liu’s side for as long as Zhuang Liu stood.

After a long while, Xiao Mo finally approached Zhuang Liu and said softly, “Head of the Zhuang family, it’s time for us to go back.”

Zhuang Liu dejectedly took a seat and asked, “Xiao Mo, did I do something wrong?”

To anyone else, Xiao Mo would have said that Zhuang Liu didn’t make a mistake, but knowing Zhuang Liu for many years and being almost like family, he would speak his mind even if it angered Zhuang Liu.

“You did,” Xiao Mo said seriously, “just as Hang Wei had just mentioned, Miss Rou is not a flower kept in a greenhouse; she has her own career, and you can’t always be with her. You say you want to protect her, but doesn’t she have the ability to protect herself? Besides, if you both face danger at the same time, it’s not certain who would protect whom.”

In Xiao Mo’s observation, Tan Rou was more capable than Zhuang Liu. Although Zhuang Liu had learned self-defense techniques when he was younger, he had been in a wheelchair for so many years, so his agility would have regressed. After regaining the use of his legs, Zhuang Liu had been working out, but Tan Rou hadn’t stopped either; her dedication was something everyone admired.

“You don’t understand how I feel. I’m really scared of losing her. She suffered so much when she was little, and all I want is for her to live happily…” Zhuang Liu’s words were cut off by Xiao Mo.

“Head of the family!” Xiao Mo raised his voice a few notches, “How can you get more childish as you get older? Miss Rou has grown up; she’s not a little girl anymore. Please come to your senses!”

Xiao Mo had always felt that Zhuang Liu’s desire for control was a bit strong. Wherever Tan Rou planned to go, Zhuang Liu would try his best to go with her. She went somewhere, and he would be there. Fortunately, Tan Rou liked Zhuang Liu, or else Zhuang Liu would come off as a stalker preying on a young girl.

“Don’t shout at me,” Zhuang Liu’s gaze turned cold, “I need to sort out my thoughts first.”

Xiao Mo fell silent. Upon calming down, he realized the gravity of what he had just done; he had actually yelled at his boss, which was quite shocking.

Elsewhere, Tan Rou drove alone back to the old house. She didn’t notify anyone at home and returned quietly on her own.

When the gatekeeper of the old house saw her, he was surprised, “Miss Rou, how come you’re back now?”

Tan Rou answered coldly, “I was passing by and decided to check on Mom and Dad. Don’t notify the family. They should be sleeping now. Open the garage door; I will rest here tonight.”

Though she said not to notify the family, her parents hadn’t gone to bed yet. The sound of the car entering alerted them immediately.

“Who’s come back?” Mother Tao looked through the window at the gate, “It’s too far for me to see who’s in the car. Take a look for me.”

Father Tao walked over and said with great surprise, “It’s our daughter who has come back.”
