Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

“Is there anything else you need help with at the police station?” Zhuang Liu asked while they were waiting.

“The evidence has been collected. The police said they were asking for my opinion, but they wanted to file a lawsuit as soon as possible and close the case. Third young master, they might want you to appear in court.”

Zhuang Liu expressed that he would go. “It’s not just your lawsuit. The Zhuang family will also file a lawsuit. It’ll save them a lot of trouble.” Although he was happy to hear others say he and Tan Rou were a couple, it didn’t mean he could accept others slandering Tan Rou.

He hoped that one day, they would be able to stand in front of everyone and receive everyone’s blessings instead of spreading rumors in secret photos. This time, if Tan Rou had not insisted on waiting for the right time, he would have settled the matter from the beginning and shut them up forever.

“She’ll be punished for several crimes; even if Li Jia isn’t 18, she’ll have to be imprisoned for many years. It’s a pity that Tan Jing managed to get away with it.” Tan Rou said with regret.

“The wicked will have their retribution. If she continues to do evil things, she will give herself away sooner or later.” Zhuang Liu comforted her.

“Yes.” Tan Rou rubbed the receipt in her hand and said firmly, “Tan Jing’s good days will soon come to an end.”

“Number ninety-nine!” The service staff called out the number.

“I’ll go get it. Wait for me.” Tan Rou cast aside her unhappiness.

While Tan Rou went to get the fruit tea, Zhuang Liu sent a message to Xiao Mo, asking him to gather all the information about the Tan family, especially the business issues, as soon as possible. He also asked him to learn about Tan Rou’s life in the Tan family when she was young. He wanted to see what kind of life Tan Rou had lived in the past.

“This cup is yours. Try it!” Tan Rou pushed a cup of fruit tea to Zhuang Liu.

Zhuang Liu took a sip, and his eyes widened in shock. Then, he calmed down and said, “It’s good.”

Tan Rou also took a sip. It was indeed a cup of tea with full sugar. It was so sweet that she even wanted to drink water while drinking this fruit tea.

It was so sweet that she thought Zhuang Liu wouldn’t like it, but he was delighted. From his bright eyes and satisfied expression, she knew he liked it.

Tan Rou was curious. Did he like the fruit tea or liked it because he liked having sweet drinks?

“How is it? Does it taste good?” Tan Rou asked.

“It’s delicious.” Zhuang Liu said happily. “I didn’t expect a roadside shop to make such delicious food. It’s my first time drinking it.”

Tan Rou wanted to test if he liked sweet things. He probably wouldn’t answer her if she had asked him directly.

“Would you like to have supper? There’s a small cake shop there.” Tan Rou said. “Do you want to have any?”

Zhuang Liu looked at the cake. He was actually a little resistant. Wasn’t it strange for a man to eat cake? However, since Tan Rou said so, it meant that she wanted to eat it.

“Alright, I’ll buy them.”

“It’s alright. I’ll go instead.”

Zhuang Liu couldn’t move freely and only allowed her to do so.

Tan Rou picked two sweet cakes, which were said to be sweeter than first love.

As expected, she felt like she had swallowed a large amount of rock sugar when it entered her mouth. It was incredibly sweet.

She looked at Zhuang Liu curiously, who ate the cake without a change in expression.

Tan Rou understood now. Zhuang Liu liked sweet food. She didn’t expect the stern and stern young third master Zhuang to have such a cute side.

“How is it? Is it good?” Tan Rou asked.

Zhuang Liu answered, “It’s a little sweet, but the taste is okay. I don’t usually eat these, but it feels good to eat them occasionally.”

Tan Rou made a mental note. The next time she went to see Zhuang Liu, she would bring him some desserts, but not the sweetest, in case he ate too much sugar.

After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Tan Rou realized that her jog had been a waste.

She pushed Zhuang Liu back and started talking about old master Lu again.

I’ve asked Xiao mo to send the pills over. “Old master Lu didn’t suspect anything. He just took it as an ordinary high-end tonic,” Zhuang Liu said.

“After giving the Old master Lu a few more acupunctures and the pills. It won’t be long before old master Lu can leave bed. I have to thank you for this.” Tan Rou changed the attention over to Old Master Lu’s condition.

“I’ve told you so many times that there’s no need to thank me,” Zhuang Liu said helplessly.

“Alright, alright, I’ll remember it.”

The stars in the sky shone on the people on the ground. In the quiet night, a burst of fragrant wind blew, pulling each others closer into each other’s hearts.
