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. “Rourou, you’re awake.”
“I didn’t sleep at all.” Tan Rou shook her head lightly and replied.
Zhuang Liu frowned. “How can you not take a nap? There was still some time left, you should at least rest a little.”
“Sleep in the car later.” Tan Rou walked over. “1’11 push you back home.”
“Did you hear what I said just now?” Zhuang Liu asked.
“I followed you out. I heard that idiot Tian Yong calling me, and I saw you upstairs.” Tan Rou replied.
Zhuang Liu’s heart raced for a few seconds. “Did you come down because of me?”
Tan Rou didn’t give him a direct answer. Instead, she asked him in return, “Didn’t you come out because you heard Tian Yong calling me?”
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 Yong’s name the moment she met him.
“Xiao Rou knows his name.” 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 Liu’s expression. Zhuang Liu’s 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.
“Are you perhaps jealous?” Tan Rou placed a hand on Zhuang Liu’s shoulder and asked with a smile.
Zhuang Liu sighed. “Xiao Rou is too outstanding. This gives me a deep sense of crisis.”
“What?! Aren’t you confident in your own charm?”Tan Rou asked deliberately.
“How is that possible?” Zhuang Liu would never admit that he was not charming enough.
“Then that’s it.” Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu to his house. “Since you’re so confident, what are you worried about?”
Zhuang Liu listened to Tan Ron’s words and felt full of confidence. It was as if he was the only man in the world who was worthy of Tan Rou.
“You’re right.” Zhuang Liu nodded and said, “1 won’t think like this again.”
“Your legs have almost recovered. You can completely get rid of the wheelchair.” 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.
“No, there are many pairs of eyes staring at me now. 1 can’t easily expose myself.” Zhuang Liu said seriously, “And 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.”
Tan Rou smiled and reminded Zhuang Liu, “Third Brother, have you forgotten what my identity is now?”
“What?” Zhuang Liu was stunned. Then, he remembered Tan Ron’s 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 family’s status in the capital.
“Indeed, Xiao Rou doesn’t need my protection anymore.” Zhuang Liu smiled bitterly. He could not protect Tan Rou now, but he had lost his original position advantage.
Tan Rou sensed Zhuang Liu’s emotions. She comforted Zhuang Liu, “I’ve never needed Third Brother Zhuang’s protection, but I’ve always needed Third Brother Zhuang’s help. Let’s help each other. 1 hope that we can stand on equal footing, and you shall not protect me like a weakling..”
