Chapter 947 - 178: Love That Eats Into the Bones
Tang Yige came out of the room just as Lu Siyu emerged from the kitchen.
Tang Yige looked at her, "Have you eaten?"
Lu Siyu lazily nodded and drifted towards the sofa in the living room.
Tang Yige followed her over.
Watching her walk to the sofa, throw herself onto it, grab a cushion and hug it, then lie back in the sofa, Tang Yige squinted slightly and walked over to sit next to Rong Sinan.
Rong Sinan immediately reached out to hold her hand as she sat down.
Lu Siyu squinted lazily, saw their intertwined hands, pouted, and picked up a cushion to cover her eyes.
She really didn’t want to be irritated by that!
Seeing Lu Siyu’s reaction, Tang Yige’s face warmed up, and she glared playfully at Rong Sinan.
Rong Sinan raised an eyebrow, let go of Tang Yige’s hand, and instead threaded his fingers more intimately through hers.
Tang Yige’s mouth twitched, and she silently turned her face to the side, her beautiful eyes brimming with pink heart shapes.
Looks like someone’s getting more charming as he ages!
"I say, can you two not irritate me like this?"
Lu Siyu removed the cushion from her face, glancing at Rong Sinan and Tang Yige across from her, and complained.
Tang Yige felt embarrassed and quickly let go of Rong Sinan’s hand, getting up to sit on another sofa.
Rong Sinan clicked his tongue softly, staring resentfully at Tang Yige, clearly displeased with her actions.
Tang Yige pretended not to notice the reproachful gaze from him.
Lu Siyu rubbed her eyes, looked at Rong Sinan, then at Tang Yige, speechless, "Don’t you two know flaunting love leads to a quick demise?"
A quick demise...
Rong Sinan’s eyes briefly flashed with depth, furrowing his brow slightly as he looked at Lu Siyu, "Miss Lu, are you planning to stay here and wait for Yicheng to come looking for you?"
The words "Yicheng" were like a bloodless knife for Lu Siyu.
Lu Siyu suddenly felt as if her heart had been stabbed, the pain intense!
Lu Siyu pressed down on her chest, making herself feel a bit better, and glanced at Rong Sinan with melancholy, "I know he’s unlikely to take the initiative to find me. Other than with his girlfriend, Lei the Second is cruel and heartless to other women."
Being a special presence for another man isn’t necessarily something pleasant.
Rong Sinan’s eyes darkened more as he glanced at Tang Yige.
Tang Yige sheepishly twitched her mouth.
She was innocent, okay?
She hadn’t said anything from start to finish.
It was them who brought it up, wasn’t it?
"So you’re planning to give up?" Rong Sinan looked at Lu Siyu.
"No way!" Lu Siyu glanced at Rong Sinan, humming, "My grandma said if a woman gives her first time to someone, she must marry him. So I’ll marry Lei the Second!"
First time...
Rong Sinan’s expression subtly changed, unsure how to continue the conversation unbothered due to the directness.
Tang Yige noticed the slight redness at Rong Sinan’s ear tips, secretly amused.
When teasing and flirting with her, he didn’t find it awkward, did he?
The girl just mentioned a first time, is it really such a big deal?
Tang Yige couldn’t help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth.
However...
Tang Yige lightly raised an eyebrow looking at Lu Siyu, "Just because of that, you insist on marrying Yicheng?"
"What else?" Lu Siyu said.
"..." Tang Yige pursed her lips, staring at Lu Siyu, "Don’t you like Yicheng?"
"I do." Lu Siyu replied, "But liking is secondary. The main thing is, I’m already Lei the Second’s. So I’ll be his forever. Since he touched me, he has to be responsible for me for life. If he dares to marry anyone other than me, I’ll snip off his little buddy!"
Lu Siyu squinted and made a scissors gesture.
Rong Sinan was at a loss.
Tang Yige looked at Lu Siyu in confusion.
Her understanding of marriage was that emotions come first and everything else is secondary.
She couldn’t imagine how difficult and effortful a marriage without feelings would be to sustain.
Yet Lu Siyu said liking was secondary.
Tang Yige licked her lower lip.
Couldn’t help but be curious about the kind of upbringing and family environment Lu Siyu had that shaped such perceptions about weddings.
Seeing Tang Yige and Si Nan both looking at her without speaking, Lu Siyu frowned slightly and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t stay here for long. Besides, I won’t sponge off for free."
After a pause, Lu Siyu stared at Tang Yige, "Just keep a record. Once my dad unfreezes my card, I’ll pay you for the room and board."
Tang Yige: "..."
...
Rong Rui slept and didn’t wake up until noon.
Upon waking up, he found Tang Yige sitting by the bedside, staring at him, her gaze tender enough to squeeze out water.
Rong Rui had just woken up, his consciousness not fully restored, feeling dazed. Little Fatty rubbed his sleepy big eyes and said hoarsely, "Little Gege, I’m so hungry."
Knowing the little guy wasn’t fully awake yet, otherwise, he wouldn’t be this calm upon seeing her.
Tang Yige didn’t speak either, carefully taking Little Fatty out from the covers and heading to the bathroom to wash his face.
In the bathroom.
Tang Yige placed a dry towel on the sink and then sat Little Fatty on it.
From the start of wiping his hands to finally washing his face, the little guy was very cooperative, soft and adorable, obedient and likable.
Tang Yige hung up the wet towel and carried the little guy out of the bathroom.
Rong Rui leaned against Yige in her arms.
His little face snuggled into Yige’s neck, his soft breath brushing against her neck, tickling, yet it made Tang Yige feel a sense of satisfaction.
Tang Yige did not carry Rong Rui out of the bedroom.
Instead, she put him on the bed and took off her shoes, sitting cross-legged facing him.
Rong Rui’s big eyes flashed with curiosity, he frowned lightly looking at Yige.
Yige didn’t rush to speak, quietly watching Rong Rui.
Until Rong Rui’s little face gradually changed, his small pink mouth pressed tight, his distinct big eyes squinted, he opened his crossed chubby legs, ready to get off the bed.
Tang Yige’s face slightly trembled, promptly grabbing the little guy’s chubby arm, "Little Rui, can we talk?"
Rong Rui stared at Tang Yige with a little face emitting dark vibes, uncooperative, stubbornly pulling his arm.
He hadn’t recovered yet and didn’t want to talk to her now!
A perfectly good girlfriend turned into his real mom?
Really... might as well drive him mad!
Rong Rui thought angrily to himself.
"Little Rui..."
Tang Yige saw Rong Rui running towards the side of the bed like a little bull, getting helpless.
She leaned in, simply picked up the stubborn struggling little guy and seated him on her lap.
It took quite some strength to prevent the little guy from breaking free.
Rong Rui’s little face reddened from exertion, his gaze fiercely "killing" Yige.
Tang Yige innocently frowned, "Little Rui, can we just have a nice chat?"
"I have nothing to say to you! You emotional con artist!"
Rong Rui huffed loudly.
Emotional con artist?
Tang Yige felt several black lines slide down the back of her head, looking at Rong Rui with a worried expression, "Can I plead my case?"
"What’s there for you to plead?" Rong Rui struggled a few more times, still couldn’t break free, so he gave up, putting all his weight on Yige’s lap, with two little eyebrows drawn together, angrily glaring at her.
"Little Rui, you said I lied to you. Except for not telling you I’m your biological mother, what else did I lie to you about? My love, care, and concern for you have always been genuine. Whether in the past, or once knowing I’m your mother, I’ve sincerely liked you."
Tang Yige tightly held Rong Rui’s little hands, looking into his eyes, seriously explaining.
Rong Rui looked at Tang Yige with dead fish eyes.
Tang Yige noticed and knew the little guy probably didn’t hear what she said.
The reason he’s still here is because she’s holding him and he can’t escape.
Seeing the obstinate look on Rong Rui’s little face, Tang Yige felt a bit deflated, wondering whom the little guy got this stubborn streak from?!
Tang Yige lightly furrowed her brows, fell silent, but didn’t let go of Rong Rui’s hands.
How does that song go...
"Most afraid when the air suddenly goes quiet... "
Rong Rui saw Tang Yige not talking anymore, held out for two or three minutes, but couldn’t hold out any longer.
His chubby little face twitched slightly, Rong Rui frowned looking at Tang Yige, coolly saying, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, please let go of me. I have other things to do." Right now, he was starving. The top priority was to find food!
