Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xiao Mo pushed Zhuang Liu over, and Tan Rou smiled sweetly. Tian Tian didn’t understand that kind of emotion, but she felt that Tan Rou was quite happy right now, so she took her cake and said goodbye to Tan Rou.
“Did you have fun at the banquet today?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou couldn’t tell if she was happy or not, but she felt that it was alright. “How should I put it? I still like to have a simple meal with my family, but I’m very happy to see what happened today.”
Zhuang Liu almost understood what Tan Rou meant. He continued asking, “Are you free after the banquet?”
Tan Rou had taken a day off, but the banquet would only last until 1 in the afternoon, so she would be free for the rest of the day.”
“I’m free,” Tan Rou said.
Zhuang Liu clenched his fists tightly. “I want to take you somewhere, can I?”
Tan Rou guessed that Zhuang Liu wanted to bring her to celebrate his birthday. Although she had already given him a gift and had eaten, she felt something was missing if she did not celebrate her birthday on this day.
“Sure.” Tan Rou agreed immediately.
Zhuang Liu was relieved. “Alright, we’ll go there after the banquet.”
At the end of the banquet, Tan Rou danced with her big brother and second brother. Tao Qi also wanted to dance with Tan Rou but wasn’t tall enough. He could only dance with his sister in the future.
Zhuang Liu looked at the beautiful girl spinning in the middle of the stage and was so anxious that he almost stood up from his wheelchair. If Xiao Mo hadn’t reminded him not to expose himself, he would have rushed to the middle of the stage and snatched Tan Rou back.
After the dance, four deep crescent marks were left on Zhuang Liu’s palm.
“Xiao Rou, are you ready to leave?” He quickly walked over as soon as the dance was over.
The Tao brothers protected Tan Rou tightly. “What are you doing?”
Tan Rou squeezed out from the side and told the Tao parents, “Dad, Mom, Third Brother and I have something to do. We’re going out for a while. You guys should head back first.”
“No!” Tao Zheng and Tao Zhi said in unison, “My sister can’t go out with you!”
“What are you two doing?” Mrs. Tao rebuked. “Zhuang Liu must have something important to do with Rourou. Don’t go over and cause trouble.”
Tao Zheng said excitedly, “He has impure thoughts about my sister. I can’t let him get away with it.”
Mother Tao pulled Tao Zheng over. “Just come home with me and Xiao Qi. You should head back to school. Don’t even think about asking for leave.”
Tao Qi puffed up his face and said unhappily, “I want to go with Third Sister too.”
Tan Rou advised, “We have something important to do. Don’t follow us. Go to school. I’ll help you with the competition questions when we get back.”
Tao Qi got his sister’s agreement, so he no longer asked to go with his sister.
“Then you must remember what you’re just promised me!”
Tan Rou gave him a tick and left with Zhuang Liu.
While in the underground garage, they met the Song family who were preparing to return.
“Go apologize to the eldest daughter of the Tao family,” Old Master Song said coldly.
Song Lin was the only one here, so he knew who Old Master Song was talking about. However, Song Lin didn’t want to apologize to Tan Rou. He couldn’t bring himself to do so.
“Hmph, idiot!” Old Master Song leaned on his dragon-headed cane and growled, “You didn’t get along with the eldest daughter of the Tao family. Instead, you insist on hooking up with Tan Jing. Now that you’ve offended the eldest daughter of the Tao family, do you still want to offend the entire Tao family in the future?”
Song Lin didn’t expect Tan Rou to be the eldest daughter of the Tao family. If he had known about this earlier, he would never have helped Tan Jing with this challenge.
“If you don’t apologize, don’t call me grandpa anymore. After all, the Song family will never raise trash. Of all my grandsons, you’re the one I think the most highly of. Otherwise, do you think an illegitimate child like you can enter the Song family?”
Song Lin hated it when people kept harping on his identity as an illegitimate son. This identity was like a stain that had always been with him. Whether it was in the Song family or elsewhere, as long as his identity as an illegitimate son was revealed, he would be lower than others.
“I understand.” Song Lin held his breath, “‘m going to apologize to Miss Tao now.”
Song Lin suddenly blocked tan Rou and Zhuang Liu’s path. Song Lin had his hands in his pockets as he stood where they were going.
“Hey, Tan Rou, can you forgive me?” Song Lin said.
Tan Rou was a little confused.. What was wrong with Song Lin? How could he ask for forgiveness in such a manner?
