Chapter 2073: Heart To Heart (2)
He strode toward her with hurried steps.
He checked her up and down, asking hurriedly, “Is your head injured? Does it hurt? Where does it hurt?”
Tang Wu felt a lump in her throat.
She had just been called aside by the nurse to bandage her injured forehead. When she came over, she saw Lan Yue, who looked like a headless fly with a pale face.
She jumped into his arms with red eyes, hugging his thin waist with both hands.
Smelling his clean and fresh scent, her heart tightened uncontrollably.
The moment she hugged him, and he hugged her back as well.
His slender hands held her slender waist tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones.
He completely forgot about the Tang family’s warning.
They hugged for a while and only released her when she was almost out of breath from his grip.
His hands were still around her waist, as he looked down at her. “Does your head hurt? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Tang Wu shook her head, not wanting him to worry. “It’s just a small injury. It’s nothing.”
His eyebrows were still furrowed tightly, the worry in his eyes clear.
Tang Wu stood on her toes and pecked his lips. “It’s really nothing.”
He then realized that they were in public and there were reporters from the broadcasting station around interviewing them.
Seeming to have thought of something, he leaned back and she wanted to kiss him again, but she suddenly felt dizzy when he avoided her.
He caught her in time.
He pulled her to an inconspicuous place.
He caressed her face and she rubbed her face into his palm, a smile on her lips. “Why are you here?”
“I saw the news.”
Tang Wu pulled his hand down from her face and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. “Didn’t you want to ignore me?”
“I…”
Tang Wu’s eyes turned cold. “Did you break up because my family looked for you?”
He froze, then shook his head. “No.”
Tang Wu stared straight into his dark eyes. “I won’t force you if you don’t want to admit to it, but I wanted to give you another chance to face difficulties with me. Since you think you can’t face it, let’s not do it!”
She turned to leave, so she did not see the shock and panic flashing in his eyes.
He grabbed her wrist. “Tangtang!”
Tang Wu turned around, took a step forward, and leaned her face against his chest.
His heartbeat was very fast and she could feel his intense emotions, even though he did not let them show on his face.
She grabbed his jacket and approached him with her face. “Do you like me?”
He looked down at her, his lips moving. The words seemed to come to his throat, but he could not say them.
“Lan Yue, do you like me?” She asked again domineeringly.
He could not lie to himself or her.
He nodded at her.
Tang Wu wrapped her arms around his neck. “Lower your head.”
He lowered his head, but did not let her take the initiative. Instead, he kissed her first.
His phone vibrated.
It buzzed again and again.
Tang Wu withdrew from his arms. “Your phone’s ringing.”
He took out his phone from his pocket and his eyes flashed when he saw the caller ID.
After letting her know, he went to the side to answer the call.
Tang Wu looked at his back. She was a little far away and could not hear what he said, but she could clearly feel his grip on the phone tighten.
Tang Wu looked around.
She suddenly found a black SUV parked not too far away.
Tang Wu strode behind Lan Yue and snatched the phone from him after he said that he did not want to give up.
Lan Yue did not expect Tang Wu to come. He was stunned for a moment and by the time he reacted, his phone had been taken away.
Tang Wu glanced at the caller ID.
She was right. It was a call from the Tang family’s bodyguards.
Tang Wu’s eyes darkened and she hung up with a cold expression before she blocked the number.
She said to Lan Yue, “I’ll go back and settle this. Trust me.”
His eyes turned red. “Tangtang…”
Tang Wu raised her index finger and pressed it against his pink lips. “Don’t say anything. Go to the hospital and accompany Lan Nuo. I’ll go and find you.”
With that said, Tang Wu turned and walked toward the SUV.
The car door was pulled open and the bodyguard in the SUV was stunned when he saw Tang Wu. “Miss.”
“Drive me back!”
Mother Tang frowned when she saw Tang Wu returning in the car of the bodyguard monitoring Lan Yue.
Tang Wu did not look too good. When she arrived at the living room, she questioned Mother Tang, “Mom, did you send someone to do that in Australia?”
Mother Tang said, “Wuwu, why are you talking to me like this?”
“Mom, don’t you feel guilty about ruining a sportsman’s future and almost ruining a good instructor’s reputation?”
Seeing that Tang Wu was so aggressive and could not maintain her elegance, Mother Tang’s eyes turned sharp. “Tang Wu, as the Tang family’s daughter, don’t you understand your mission? You’re dating a poor fellow from the tribe and a second-hand good that Chu Li doesn’t want anymore. Why are you so happy taking it from her?”
“What does Chu Li know about his good side? Besides, I’m the one who pestered him. If he’s a second-hand good, what am I?”
Slap!
Mother Tang slapped Tang Wu angrily.
“You actually degraded yourself like this for a wild brat. Tang Wu, is this how I brought you up?”
Tang Wu endured the fiery pain on her face and said with red eyes, “Were you brought up to ruin someone else’s future?”
Mother Tang raised her hand and slapped Tang Wu again.
The smile on Tang Wu’s lips widened. “Ever since I was young, the two of you have indeed instilled in me the idea that I can’t decide on my own marriage. I used to think that if the two of you asked for a marriage union, I would separate from that man. But what you’ve done has made me see my feelings for him clearly!”
“I like him very much and don’t want to be separated from him. I don’t want to marry a man I don’t like for the sake of the family!”
Mother Tang was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. “Tang Wu, do you know what you’re saying? Are you going to disobey the family and be with a poor wild brat?”
“Yes, I want to be with him.”
Mrs Tang laughed in anger. “If you continue to be stubborn, you know what you will lose.”
“I understand.”
She went upstairs.
After a while, she came down with a small suitcase.
Seeing her actions, Mrs Tang sat on the sofa, her expression ugly. “If you dare to step out of this house, don’t come back again.”
Tang Wu sucked in a deep breath.
A few seconds later, she carried her suitcase firmly and left the villa.
When she walked out of the Tang family’s gate, she was surprised to see a tall figure standing outside.
He strode toward her and his pupils constricted when he saw her red and swollen face.
Tang Wu did not care and smiled brightly at him. “I won’t be a rich young lady in the future. Do you want to support me?”
