Zhao Wuyan was naturally beautiful, tall, and exceptionally well-endowed. A little bit of dressing up and she was sure to turn countless heads when she went out. Yet, she couldn't make Tang Si's heart flutter for her.
Ever since that incident at Borén Group where she showed up to the office without underwear, Tang Si had been cold to her. Zhao Wuyan was racking her brain, desperate to make Tang Si forgive her.
“...My second brother has run into some trouble, I need to go check on him.” Tang Si’s mind raced, and he ultimately used Qing Muyye as an excuse.
Zhao Wuyan bit her lip, her eyebrows drooping. Her dejected and pitiful appearance was enough to stir sympathy, but in Tang Si’s eyes, it was nothing more than affected pretense, making him feel a little disgusted.
“When will you be back?” she asked.
“Don’t wait up for me. Get some rest early.” Tang Si walked around her and left. However, as he passed by, he paused, raising his hand to pat her shoulder. “A woman needs her beauty sleep.”
Even so, after saying those words, Tang Si felt a surge of nausea, feeling utterly hypocritical.
He went downstairs and quickly left the living room.
Zhao Wuyan, standing on the second floor, looked sideways at the figure disappearing into the main hall below. She reached up to touch the shoulder he had just patted, her red lips curling into a relieved smile.
Had Si Bing forgiven her?
…
Tang Si drove, speeding towards the central city hospital.
It was late at night. The roads in the center of Lan City were deserted, with only occasional vehicles passing by.
Tang Si ran several red lights. Leaning back against the driver’s seat, his hand rested on the steering wheel, his fingers tapping it rhythmically, betraying his inner anxiety.
Slow, too slow.
Even at a hundred and eighty kilometers per hour, he still felt it was too slow.
Suddenly, a person darted out from the intersection ahead. At the same time, two cars were approaching side-by-side. Tang Si, unable to avoid them, slammed on the brakes.
The tires screeched against the asphalt, leaving two black marks, the piercing sound seeming to pierce through the night sky.
The woman emerging from the intersection was startled. She turned her head to look at the approaching car and was so terrified that she froze, her feet seemingly glued to the ground, unable to move.
“Ah~!”
As the car drew closer, the woman screamed in fear and fell to the ground.
Finally, the car stopped twenty centimeters away from the woman.
Tang Si, his anger boiling, unbuckled his seatbelt and immediately got out of the car. He looked at the woman sitting on the ground and berated her, “Can’t you watch where you’re going? Don’t you see the car?!”
“Wuwuwu… I… I’m going into labor, my husband isn’t here, I… I can’t get a taxi, wuwuwu…”
The woman clutched her abdomen and cried on the ground.
Tang Si looked at her bulging belly, one hand supporting herself on the ground, the other cradling her pregnant stomach. At that moment, it felt as though a hard object had violently struck his chest, causing a sharp pang of pain.
Shi Ran’s face flashed in his mind, and he involuntarily projected that onto the woman before him. He could imagine how helpless and pitiable she must feel.
“Can you get up?” His hostility vanished in an instant.
The woman shook her head. “I can’t move…”
Tang Si sighed in helplessness, opened the rear door of his car, walked over to the pregnant woman, and bent down to pick her up. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Thank you… thank you…”
Seeing Tang Si’s handsome face and his luxurious car, the pregnant woman assumed he wasn't a bad person and felt less afraid.
Afterward, he drove the woman to the central hospital, took her to the emergency room, and then contacted someone to inquire about Shi Ran’s exact location.
Inpatient Department, Building 9, Room 2109.
Tang Si rushed to Room 2109. Standing outside the hospital room door, he clearly saw the busy figures of nurses at the foot of the bed through the glass panel in the door.
