Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 357 That night…

Chapter 357 That night...

Fang Diandian suddenly blushes.

But she hears Tang Cao say, “Why do you still eat? Don’t you have a full stomach? Every time we eat, you eat more than Xiaopang. How can you eat so much?”

“Do you want to say that I am fat?” Fang Diandian has no romantic idea. She feels herself too foolish to have a hope for Tang Cao again. This guy is indeed an idiot!

“I didn’t!” Tang Cao has a wronged expression. He doesn’t dare to offend Fang Diandian. He says piteously, “If you finish eating, I’ll take you home.”

Fang Diandian doesn’t believe his kindness, “You don’t want to see me, do you?”

“I am not! I don’t!” Tang Cao hasn’t already known what to say. Chen Xiaopang seems to have finally realized something. He leans in with laughter and says, “Diandian, let him send you home. He must have something to say to you.”

Fang Diandian is full. Those guys are with girls accompanying and the rest of the activity is certainly not suitable for her. So she stands up and says, “Let’s leave!”

“Give me a ride on the way.” Chen Xiaopang smiles obnoxiously.

Tang Cao wants to stare Chen Xiaopang to death with his eyes. Chen Xiaopang pretends not to see it and gallantly follows Fang Diandian.

When the three leave the room, one of the girls curls her lips and says, “Is that Miss Fang Childe Tian’s friend? Why haven’t I seen her in the circle of celebrities?”

“You haven’t seen many people.” Another rich second generation scoffs.

Childe Tian has drunk a little too much. He hugs the girls and laughs, “Don’t be so curious. The Second Childe Tang doesn’t like to play, so you have no chance. As for Miss Fang, she is his darling. If you offend her, we can’t save you!”

They have been playing with Tang Cao for so many years, but they haven’t seen him fall in love with any girl. But Tang Cao takes Fang Diandian out to play every day. Each time he orders the dishes she likes to eat, although his bark is worse than his bite. They all know that Fang Diandian is definitely unusual in Tang Cao’s heart.

They hear Chen Xiaopang say that Tang Family members also like Fang Diandian, so she will definitely become the Young Mistress of Tang Family in the future...

“Don’t look at me like that!” Chen Xiaopang lights a cigarette and leans against the co-pilot, “It was you who blabbered and didn’t say directly.”

“Nonsense! How could I say when you such a third wheel was here?” Tang Cao watches Fang Diandian enter the housing estate and can’t wait to kick Chen Xiaopang out of the car.

Chen Xiaopang is stunned, “Do you really have something to say? You wanted to express your love, didn’t you?”

“Forget it. Nothing...” Tang Cao thought about it just now. Now it is not the time to express his love.

In case Ning Lingshan’s case is not handled well, Fang Diandian must think that he expressed his love to her because he had made a mistake. His sister is right! He has to settle the matter and then expresses his love to Fang Diandian, or it will be unfair to her.

“What relationship do we have? You have something to hide from me?”

Tang Cao glances around and starts the car to leave, “What can I hide from you?”

“There must be something wrong with you.” Chen Xiaopang looks at his watch, “Go to the bar we often go to.”

“I don’t drink. I want to go home.” Tang Cao now has a shadow over drinking.

Of course Chen Xiaopang doesn’t agree. He struggles hard to pull Tang Cao to go. He opens a private room and begins to interrogate Tang Cao, “You tell me the truth or drink up this bottle.”

“I told you not to drink.” Tang Cao frowns and pushes it away.

Chen Xiaopang’s mobile phone rings. He answers it and says a few words. After hanging up, he glances at Tang Cao, “Tong Yue said that he was coming.”

“Why is he coming here?” Tang Cao asks curiously, “Didn’t he say that something had happened at Su Tian’s school these days? He has been busy helping to deal with it.”

Tong Yue arrives soon and asks Tang Cao as soon as he comes in, “Come on. What’s going on?”

“...What?” Tang Cao shows an expression of a guilty conscience, “What’s going on?”

Tong Yue sneers, “You asked me about your drunkenness before and your sister was aside to cover for you. I felt there was something wrong. Ning Lingshan is pregnant. Is the child yours?”

“F**k!” Chen Xiaopang jumps up, “Is it so shocking?”

Tang Cao also gets a fright, “How do you know it?”

“I did investigate.” Tong Yue glances at him, “Your brother-in-law is also investigating it.”

Tang Cao grabs his hand and says, “Have you found anything? Whose child is that?”

“There is no way to prove whose child it is, but the only man contacted Ning Lingshan during the last two months was only you. You two stayed in the hotel all night, so we can only suspect that the child is yours.”

Chen Xiaopang curses, “Was it the matter that last time you two were drunk? Didn’t you say that you didn’t do anything and slept through the night?”

“That’s how I woke up!” Tang Cao grabs his hair a few times, “And Ning Lingshan herself said nothing had happened.”

Chen Xiaopang curses several times again, and then says with a lucky expression, “Luckily I didn’t f**k chase her. This woman is not a little poor thing, but obviously a tiger!”

“You’d better pray that your brother-in-law can find something now, or you will at least have to take the blame until the baby is born.” Tong Yue sees Tang Cao’s appearance which is like life without love and gives him another blow, “Of course, maybe it’s true that the child is really yours.”

“It will be known until the child is born for paternity testing.” Chen Xiaopang says in a tone of indifference, “Why are you nervous now?”

Tang Cao holds his head in his hands, “But I don’t dare to tell Fang Diandian that I really didn’t do anything that night. If Ning Lingshan had planned it, I am afraid that I...”

“If Brother Ruoxian cannot find anything, I suggest you ask Ning Lingshan.” Tong Yue says, “If she says that the child is not yours, let her sign to show that you have nothing to do with her.”

Chen Xiaopang snuffs out his cigarette, “What if she doesn’t admit it now in order to protect herself? What will we do when the baby is born but it is still Tang Cao’s child?”

“It’s too easy for us to make a baby to disappear, isn’t it?” Tong Yue’s eyes flash across their faces, “I just come here to say that it’s not that bad. The key is Ning Lingshan’s attitude now.”

Tang Cao looks at him blankly, “What if she admits it?”

“Xiaopang just said that she might not admit it in order to protect herself.” Tong Yue frowns, “Forget it. Let your sister ask about this and tell her what I said. Your sister is smarter than you. She must understand what it means.”

Tang Cao returns home with a heavy heart and is called to the study by Lang Ruoxian after supper. Tang Duo and Bai Susu are playing with the twins in the living room. Tang Duo also winks at him, presumably to show that he can go at ease.

“What are you going to do?” What Lang Ruoxian has investigated is similar to what Tong Yue has found. There is no problem with Ning Lingshan’s background. The only breakthrough at present is...

“Since you are not sure, let her speak for herself.”

Tang Cao huddles in the corner of the sofa and nods piteously, “Tong Yue said the same thing, but he said to let my sister go, for fear that I might screw up.”

Lang Ruoxian narrows his eyes and says with disgust, “You are such a big man but still let my wife worry about you.”

Tang Cao thinks: Woo, I’m really sorry for you...

“If you go out to drink again and get too drunk like a dead dog, I will throw you directly into the city moat.” Lang Ruoxian warns his hapless brother-in-law, “Don’t let Mom know about this for the time being. You should behave yourself to stay at home.”

Tang Cao keeps nodding like pounding garlic into pulp. Even if Lang Ruoxian doesn’t warn him, he won’t dare to go out to play. After so many years of playing, he finally has had an accident because of playing. It happened just when he wanted to chase the girl he loves. However bitter he is, Tang Cao even has no place to cry. After that, he behaves himself to stay at home. Bai Susu still wonders why he suddenly behaves himself.

“Ms. Tang, do you look for me for something?” Ning Lingshan sits sheepishly in the private room, nervously looking at Tang Duo opposite.

Tang Duo smiles, “Don’t worry. Wait till you are full.”

Last night she called Ning Lingshan and asked her to have lunch together this noon. Ning Lingshan was very nervous on the phone, but she did not refuse to come with an excuse. Tang Duo obeys what Lang Ruoxian taught her and doesn’t hurry to ask her. She begins to eat slowly.

“The sweet and sour fish here is very delicious. Do you want to have a try?” She pushes the plate.

Ning Lingshan hesitates, but still carefully stretches out chopsticks.

“Forget it!” Tang Duo suddenly raises her hand to stop Ning Lingshan, “Can’t you vomit after eating fish?”

Ning Lingshan’s face turns pale, “Tang... What do you mean, Ms. Tang?”

“You don’t understand what I mean?” Tang Duo puts down her chopsticks, “To be honest, I didn’t expect you to have this kind of thoughts. You lied to everyone. If you didn’t target my brother, I still admire you.”

Ning Lingshan stands up hurriedly and spills the cup on the table. She runs to the door of the private room without taking care of her wet clothes.

“If you walk out of this door, I won’t invite you to dinner next time.” Tang Duo says flatly, “You should know that Tang Family has the ability to make you disappear in Yanjing without being noticed.”

Ning Lingshan walks slowly over and looks up with tears streaming down her face, “Ms. Tang, please let me go! I really don’t want anything. I will go back to my hometown tomorrow and promise never to come to Yanjing again.”

“This is not the solution to the problem.” Tang Duo hands her a piece of paper towel, “I want you to tell me honestly what happened that night after you and Tang Cao were drunk.”

Ning Lingshan looks at her suddenly. Tang Duo smiles, “You’ve been pregnant for a month, and the time is right. It’s easy for us to investigate, so you shouldn’t think to hide anything, which is good for everyone.”

“That... That night we drank a lot of wine and when we entered the room, we couldn’t remember anything.” Ning Lingshan cries and says, “I woke up in the middle of the night and saw Tang Cao sleeping on the ground.”

She was afraid that Tang Cao would catch a cold and wanted to help him to bed.

“I didn’t expect that Tang Cao also woke up. He just hugged me, called me Diandian and pressed me to the bed.” Ning Lingshan bites her teeth and says, “I started to struggle. We both fell to the ground, but I couldn’t break free. His strength was too big.”

After that, it was beyond her control. Ning Lingshan even passed out in the middle, and when she woke up, it was all over.

“I knew that Tang Cao liked Miss Fang, and I had never had excessive demand of anything.” Ning Lingshan wipes her tears, “So I cleaned up the room and made everything look as if nothing had happened.”

Tang Duo silently hears her finish saying. Every sentence makes the bottom of her heart cold. Finally, she holds her forehead and thinks that this is a dead end. Tang Cao, the silly boy is totally finished.
