146: Chapter 147: Dialogue!
Back in the hospital room.
Tang Zhong immediately saw Feng Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao’s mom laughing and chatting together.
As for the overweight nurse who had fainted earlier, she had somehow woken up and sneaked away unnoticed.
Tang Zhong didn’t bother about her, and walked to the bedside, smiling as he said, “Xiaoxiao’s mom, you’re awake!”
Upon seeing Tang Zhong, Xiaoxiao’s mom replied cheerfully, “Little Tang, I was just asking Xiaoxiao where you had gone, and now you’re back!”
Standing next to them, Feng Xiaoxiao was still in shock from before, staring at Tang Zhong without moving.
“By the way, Xiaoxiao’s mom, how do you feel now?” asked Tang Zhong.
“I don’t know why, but I feel very calm at heart, which is really strange.
I didn’t have this feeling before I slept, but I have it after waking up!” Xiaoxiao’s mom said.
“Let me take your pulse again!” Tang Zhong stepped forward, grabbed Xiaoxiao’s mom’s arm, and felt her pulse.
It was already very stable, indicating that the Golden Blood had worked its magic and her heart was recovering.
“Much better than before, I believe you will recover very soon, most certainly because of Dr.
Han’s medicine earlier!” Tang Zhong said.
“Really?” Xiaoxiao’s mom sounded somewhat incredulous.
Even Feng Xiaoxiao, who had been composed until now, looked at Tang Zhong and said, “Really?
Are you sure my mom will recover?
“I’m sure!” Tang Zhong replied with a smile.
He hadn’t expected this girl to be such a filial child.
Upon hearing Tang Zhong’s words, Feng Xiaoxiao became incredibly excited and came forward to grab his hand, asking once more to be certain, “Really?
You’re telling the truth?”
“It’s true!” Tang Zhong was almost at a loss for words, but he could only nod.
But the next second, he was enveloped by a fresh fragrance.
Feng Xiaoxiao came right up to him and hugged him, her excitement evident as she said, “That’s wonderful, truly wonderful, my mom can be saved!”
“You’re welcome, really, it’s nothing,” Tang Zhong quickly said.
Xiaoxiao’s mom watched their intimate gesture and thought to herself how wonderful it was.
“Look, husband, do you see that?
Our child has such a close relationship with little Tang; she’s finally found a good future!”
Other patients in the room, including those who had been keen on introducing their daughters to Tang Zhong, watched the scene and sighed inwardly, realizing it was over; with such a strong bond between them, their own daughters probably stood no chance.
Soon, Feng Xiaoxiao realized she had gotten overly emotional and quickly let go of Tang Zhong, stepping back a few paces with her head lowered, her face flushed red.
“Ahem, ahem…” Xiaoxiao’s mom coughed, appearing displeased, but in truth, she was overjoyed.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao’s mom was probably doing well by now, with the Golden Blood aiding her heart’s recovery, a matter of time and needing rest, Tang Zhong said, “Xiaoxiao’s mom, just continue to stay here and rest well, leave other matters to me.
I believe your illness will be cured very soon!”
Xiaoxiao’s mom, even happier, said, “Little Tang, when you’re not busy, you must come and see me…”
“Okay, then if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now,” Tang Zhong said.
“Go on, young people surely have work to do!” Xiaoxiao’s mom said.
Tang Zhong then turned and left, intending to go to the payment counter to settle the hospitalization fees.
“Xiaoxiao, hurry and see little Tang off, what are you waiting for?” Xiaoxiao’s mom immediately urged Feng Xiaoxiao.
Feng Xiaoxiao replied and followed, as she had something to discuss with Tang Zhong too.
Tang Zhong had just reached the doorway of the hospital room when Feng Xiaoxiao caught up.
They walked all the way to the payment counter.
The hospitalization fee was about three thousand yuan.
Tang Zhong had that amount in cash on him, so he didn’t need to use the money in the bank card given by Monkey.
The two of them walked out of the hospital.
When they reached the hospital entrance.
Tang Zhong turned around and said to Feng Xiaoxiao, “Alright, it’s about time to head back.
Don’t say anything about thanking me or anything like that, it was just a small effort!”
Actually, from the moment Feng Xiaoxiao walked out of the ward, she had been thinking about how to speak to Tang Zhong, but as much as she thought about it, she couldn’t find a good way to start.
Suddenly hearing Tang Zhong speak, it was as if the floodgates opened.
“Just now, thank you so much!”
“What’s there to thank me for?
It really was just a small effort!” Tang Zhong said.
“I really need to thank you, you know?
My mom hasn’t been this happy in a long time!” Feng Xiaoxiao said, like a lively and adorable child.
“I noticed!” Tang Zhong said.
“It was your arrival that made my mom so happy.
Actually, I feel a bit embarrassed, lately my mom has been pushing me a lot, saying I should find a boyfriend.
Plus, she’s been a bit unhappy lately,” Feng Xiaoxiao said.
“So you had the idea of finding a stand-in boyfriend?” Tang Zhong said.
“Yes, and you, you’re the most suitable candidate because of, last time at the hotel…” Feng Xiaoxiao said.
“Stop, last time at the hotel, I didn’t do anything.
You were so drunk, you made it really tough for me!” Tang Zhong immediately said.
Remembering what had happened at the Kelly Yuan Hotel last time gave Tang Zhong a headache.
It even led him to a trip to the police station and he ended up not having dinner that night.
I know, at first, I thought I’d been…
But then I later realized I hadn’t lost my… Well…
But you definitely saw me, I am very innocent, and since you saw me, you have to take responsibility, so I came looking for you!” Feng Xiaoxiao said.
“Oh, my god, so it’s because of that I’m the suitable candidate?
It’s clearly because of you, hitting on… I… I’m still the victim here!” Tang Zhong said.
I’m a girl; I’m the one at a loss here…
not to mention, I’m so pretty…” Feng Xiaoxiao became flustered, pouting and looking aggrieved.
“Tsk-tsk, indeed very pretty…” Tang Zhong raised an eyebrow and started to laugh.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxiao grew even more agitated, “You… you pervert, you… hooligan!”
She had been developing a good impression of Tang Zhong, but now it all dissipated.
“I’m not talking to you anymore.
Oh, right, about the hospital fee you topped up, I’ll borrow it for now.
When I have the money, I’ll pay you back!” Feng Xiaoxiao said.
No need, it was for our mom after all!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
“Who’s your ‘our mom,’ she’s my mom…
not your mom!” Feng Xiaoxiao said, growing impatient.
“Wife, you can’t talk like that.
Mom has entrusted you to me…
So she is my mom now!” Tang Zhong said.
“You…” Feng Xiaoxiao was furious.
“Alright, stop teasing you.
Hurry back, mom is lonely by herself!” Tang Zhong said.
Oh, right, Tang Zhong, that Xia Wuyuan you bullied just now is from the Crown Prince’s Faction, you really need to be careful, don’t let them catch you!” Feng Xiaoxiao said.
“Cheap wife, caring about your husband so quickly?
Whatever Crown Prince’s Faction, your husband absolutely won’t take them seriously.
Just remember, now, your husband will protect you.” Tang Zhong said.
Feng Xiaoxiao didn’t speak, because there was such strong confidence in the other person’s words that she found herself unable to refute it.
Tang Zhong turned and walked into the darkness.
As he walked, he said, “Oh, right, if you’re going to ask me to do this kind of thing again, could you let me know beforehand?
Also, when you smile, you really do look very beautiful!”
His words reached Feng Xiaoxiao’s ears, and she froze.
Watching Tang Zhong walk away, she finally reacted, “Tang Zhong, what kind of person are you, really?
It was long before she turned and walked back into the hospital.
At night, a gentle breeze drifted quietly by.
