Chapter 205: Have Some Self-Respect

“In a few days, it will be my grandfather’s birthday. I wonder if Young Master Ning will be willing to attend my grandfather’s birthday banquet?” Tang Rou asked gently.

Ning Chen’s dark eyes quietly looked into the empty air. He said coldly, “If it is Grandfather Tang’s birthday, I will naturally attend.”

“Since Xiao Yu isn’t home, then I will come and pick you up. Grandfather also hopes that we can get to know each other better. He wants me to visit the Ning family more often. Come on, Chen, don’t give me that look.” Tang Rou said with a charming smile.

“Got it. If Ms. Tang has nothing else to do, then please leave.” Ning Chen didn’t want anything to do with the woman, he just wanted some peace.

“Okay, then I’ll be leaving now. See you very soon!” Tang Rou was used to Ning Chen’s attitude, so she didn’t mind. Before she left, she made it a point and went around to Ning Chen’s side, bent down and whispered in his ear: “I’ll miss you.”

Her soft and gentle voice was extremely seductive.

If it was any other man, he probably wouldn’t have been able to control himself.

However, Ning Chen remained expressionless.

Tang Rou gritted her teeth — I don’t believe that I can’t have you. Don’t tell me I can’t compete with that Idiot Qin Yu?

Two days later, Ning Chen received a phone call.

After hanging up, Ning Chen’s calm face finally showed a trace of emotion.

***

On the day of the Tang family’s old master’s birthday, Tang Rou indeed came to the Ning family to pick Ning Chen up. They arrived at the Tang family together, attracting quite a lot of attention.

“Hey, Young Master Ning, long time no see. You’re still as elegant as ever!” Old Master Tang’s aged laughter rang out.

Tang Rou intimately held onto Ning Chen’s arm, “Be careful, there are stairs here.”

Ning Chen endured the discomfort caused by Tang Rou’s touch and stiffly turned towards Old Master Tang.

“This granddaughter of mine has admired Ning Chen for a long time. If you two have the chance to reconnect, I shall not disturb, haha…” After Old Master Tang greeted Ning Chen, he turned around and left. Before leaving, he secretly gave Tang Rou a look.

Tang Rou and Ning Chen went to the verandah in the backyard and said thoughtfully: “I guess Chen doesn’t like the noise outside. It’s much quieter here. Grandfather also planted a lot of flowers. Can you smell them?”

Ning Chen didn’t want to answer Tang Rou’s question at all. From his point of view, he would rather socialize with others than to remain with Tang Rou.

Tang Rou didn’t feel Ning Chen’s disgust towards her at all. She intimately held onto Ning Chen’s arm and introduced him to the various exotic flowers and plants growing in the backyard.

Suddenly, Tang Rou seemed to have tripped over something and fell into Ning Chen’s arms.

In order not to be knocked over by her, Ning Chen had no choice but to reach out and support her.

Tang Rou lay in Ning Chen’s arms, her face bashful. She said very embarrassedly: “I’m sorry, I seemed to have tripped over a rock just now.”

Even though her tone was a bit embarrassed, Tang Rou didn’t have any intention of getting up from Ning Chen’s arms.

Ning Chen could only push Tang Rou away himself. Unexpectedly, Tang Rou suddenly wrapped herself around his arm, her tone carried a bit of hurt and grievance: “Chen, what did I do wrong? Why aren’t you willing to accept me? Can’t you see my feelings for you?”

Ning Chen didn’t expect Tang Rou to reveal her thoughts. He was stunned for a moment before replying coldly, “Ms. Tang, please have some self-respect!”

“I know you’re worried about Qin Yu, but she’s just a fool. What fun can you have with her? You won’t be happy at all! If you’re willing to accept me, I can help you take care of Qin Yu. We can treat her as our biological sister…”

The more Tang Rou said, the more ridiculous she sounded. Ning Chen wanted to throw this woman out, but when he thought about the promise he had made with someone, Ning Chen held back.

Tang Rou clung tightly to Ning Chen and expressed her feelings, but after talking for a long time, Ning Chen still didn’t have any reaction.

Damn it… Tang Rou bit her red lips.

It seemed like if she didn’t give Ning Chen a bit of pressure, he wouldn’t be willing to accept her.

Tang Rou let go of Ning Chen and ran her fingers through her hair. She said shyly: “I’m sorry, Chen. I lost control of myself just now. I lost control of my emotions when faced with the person I like. I hope you can forgive me.”

Ning Chen snickered in his heart. He couldn’t be bothered with Tang Rou. He lifted his foot and prepared to leave.

Tang Rou rushed forward to support Ning Chen and helped him leave the backyard.

After the they left, a few people hidden in the bushes stood up and left in a hurry.

Over a week later, Qin Yu returned. However, she didn’t expect to be greeted by a storm.

In the entertainment news, a reporter captured Ning Chen and Tang Rou’s intimate scene. They were seen hugging each other like passionate lovers.

In addition, Ning Chen also attended Old Master Tang’s birthday celebration. There were rumors that the Ning and Tang family would soon become in laws.
