Chapter 1095: I’m Waiting For You To Get A Slap In The Face

Translator: Yunyi

“No, it was quite fun.” Song Yaoyao licked her lips. “The cake was also very delicious,” she added.

It was dark outside the villa. There were no street lights; only a small night light hidden by the median strip which stretched out and disappeared into the distance.

Tang Xinrou fiercely rubbed Song Yaoyao’s head. “The important part was the latter, right?”

As long as the cake was tasty, then it was good enough for Song Yaoyao. Those who didn’t know better would think that Mr. Huo was treating her harshly.

“Get in the car. I’m leaving too. I won’t be sharing a car with you.” Tang Xinrou pushed her into the car. “Yaoyao.”

“Huh?”

Song Yaoyao sat in the car and turned her head.

The dim light shone into Tang Xinrou’s eyes, which were faintly filled with guilt. “I’m sorry, I didn’t think too much about it.”

Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes. “Why are you so chatty? This has nothing to do with you.”

She ordered the driver to drive and waved at Tang Xinrou. “Let’s go.”

“Okay, let me know when you get home.” Tang Xinrou put down her hand, watched the car leave, and stood up straight.

“Rourou, why don’t you stay a little longer? It’s just the beginning, and you’re leaving already?”

Leng Xuanming saw that Tang Xinrou and the others were about to leave, so he hurried over, but he was still a step too late. The car carrying Song Yaoyao was already gone, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. He tried his best to invite Tang Xinrou to stay and play a little longer.

Tang Xinrou no longer had much patience for Leng Xuanming. She pursed her lips, and her face darkened, “What was that look in your eyes earlier? Brother Xuanming, I couldn’t say it in front of Song Yaoyao because I didn’t want anyone to feel embarrassed, but in your heart, do you still look down on her. Do you think that she’s the kind of girl who relies on men to get ahead?”

“Ahem—?I, I didn’t mean it that way.” Tang Xinrou’s temper had always been explosive. Hearing her expose his thoughts, Leng Xuanming touched his nose in embarrassment. “How do you know her?”

“What do you think? Do you know how many people in the circle envy me for being able to be friends with her?” Tang Xinrou sneered and crossed her arms. “When you returned to China, didn’t Uncle tell you to build a good relationship with her?”

“This… Of course he did, but I don’t think it’s necessary.” Leng Xuanming was helpless. “Don’t be angry, Xiao Rou. I really don’t have any ill intentions towards her. Why don’t you give me her contact information and I’ll personally apologize to her, okay? I admit that I’m a scoundrel, but…”

“Ha.” Tang Xinrou shrugged and left a sentence with an ambiguous meaning. “One day, you will regret it.”

The Tang Family’s driver had already arrived. Tang Xinrou left Leng Xuanming and walked towards the car. Suddenly, she remembered something and stopped in her tracks. She turned her head, “I know that you have been influenced by foreign culture and may look down on Chinese medicine. But as long as you are still in the country, I’m waiting to see the day you get slapped in the face. I know what you are thinking. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not but I’ll give you a reminder. Has it been a while since you’ve gone for a physical examination? “If you’re free, go and have a check-up.”

With that, she bent down and got into the car, no longer wasting her breath on Leng Xuanming.

If he was willing to believe it, then he would believe it. If he wasn’t willing to believe it, then she wouldn’t be the one regretting it in the future.

“Hey, no—” Leng Xuanming stood rooted to the ground. He didn’t feel angry. He was just surprised that Tang Xinrou was so protective of Song Yaoyao.

He shook his head and turned around to return to the villa.

Actually, on the first day he returned to the country, his father had told him to hang out with Tang Xinrou more. He also made a point that if he could be on good terms with Song Yaoyao, that would be the best.

To be honest, Leng Xuanming didn’t take it to heart. She was just a girl without any power or background. The only person she could rely on was Mr. Huo.

However, his father didn’t think about it properly. He was talking about the Huo Family. How could the Huos be so easy to approach?

It could be said that the Huos had the most unique existence in this circle. They did not participate in marriages of convenience, they did not cooperate with others, and they kept to themselves. However, they were like a towering tree. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the roots of the big Huo Family tree had already penetrated deep into the ground and spread outwards. No matter what kind of storm came along, it was unable to shake the big tree in the slightest.

Leng Xuanming turned his head and threw the matter to the back of his mind. He drank and chatted with his old friends whom he had not seen for many years. With the company of beautiful women, he played until late into the night before he was carried upstairs and fell into a deep sleep.

He was eventually woken up by pain accompanied by dry vomiting. It was as if there was an invisible hand poking around in his stomach. It was so painful that he struggled to get up. He found two capsules of stomach medicine and stuffed them into his mouth. After a long while, he began to feel better.

Leng Xuanming smiled bitterly and exhaled. He looked at the time and realized that he had slept until noon.

Just then, his home called. Leng Xuanming washed up casually and rushed back.

As he arrived, his home was just about to have lunch. Madam Leng had many complaints, but when she saw Leng Xuanming’s expression, those complaints turned into heartache and she said anxiously, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? I told you to drink less. Don’t you have anything else to do besides drinking at parties?”

“Aiyo, alright, Mom. My old habit is acting up.”

He waved his hand and sat down at the table without a care. His father was not at home, so he was probably busy at the company at this time. “In this era, which young man doesn’t have a stomach problem? It’s not a big problem, I’ll just eat some food.”

“What do you mean it’s not a big problem? No, follow me to the hospital for a check-up today!” Previously, when he was overseas, it was fine if they didn’t see each other for a year, but now that he was back in the country, Mrs. Leng couldn’t let him mistreat his body.

“No need, I don’t like hospitals.” Leng Xuanming refused immediately. At this moment, the words that Tang Xinrou had told him yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind. He asked, “Mom, what’s up with that Song Yaoyao?”

“What do you mean? Have you seen her? Aiyo, this girl is incredible. She’s really amazing.” Madam Leng was full of praise. When she looked at Leng Xuanming again, she glared at him and snorted coldly, “Look at Mr. Huo. He’s usually a man of integrity. He doesn’t need a girlfriend, but he found such an amazing person as soon as he looked. What about you? You’re not young anymore. All you do is fool around with those girls all day long. I don’t have such high expectations. If you can find someone who’s half as capable as Miss Song, I’ll be able to rest in peace!”

Leng Xuanming’s forehead was covered in sweat when he heard this. He was speechless. “Don’t exaggerate, Mom. I admit that the Huo Family is beyond our reach, but aren’t you guys flattering that girl a little too much?”

Everything sounded so fantastical. Those who didn’t know would think that he had entered the world of immortal cultivation.

“Chinese Medicine has no scientific basis. Don’t listen to the rumors. If we’re sick, we still have to go to the hospital. You old ladies are easy to deceive.” Leng Xuanming sighed. He didn’t believe what she said at all.
