Chapter 363: The Young Miss of A Big Family

Yun Xiangxiang was not the only person who noticed Tang Suran’s change, but everyone else ignored her.

Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled. Did Song Mian bring me here today just to warn Tang Zhiyu?

“I’m going to check up on Mr. Tang. You wait for a while,” Song Mian suddenly told Yun Xiangxiang.

A checkup didn’t only include a pulse check, and there were other things to check too, so she needed to stay back.

“Entertain the guest, Ranran,” Master Tang told Ranran.

Tang Suran had adjusted herself, and she was still a magnanimous young miss. “Please follow me, Miss Yun.”

They exited the room and went into the corridor. Tang Suran asked politely, “What do you do in your free time, Miss Yun?”

Yun Xiangxiang knew Tang Suran was going to give her a warm welcome. “Does reading count?”

“You like reading books too?” Tang Suran didn’t expect someone to have the same hobby as she did, so she was surprised. “What kind of books do you like?”

“I don’t really care about the category. I like everything that I think is a good read and those that I can learn something from.” Save for professional books, Yun Xiangxiang would skim through anything else, and it depended on fate if she would read it.

“Then you must love philosophical works. I’ll take you to my study.” Tang Suran seemed happy, so she turned the corner and brought Yun Xiangxiang to where she stayed.

She didn’t stay in the same yard as Master Tang, but they were close. She wasn’t lying when she said she loved books.

Her study was a mini library that spanned across forty square meters. The rows of book racks stood there tidily like those in book shops, and there were labels on every row, separating the books based on the type of the work.

There was a desk by the window. Not only did it provide great lighting, there was a pond of blooming lotus when someone looked out from the retro window, and there was a faint fragrance as the breeze flowed into the study.

If someone sat here and read at this season, they could look afar to rest their eyes when they were tired, and they could even admire the beauty of a lotus pond. It was a great luxury.

Someone came over when Yun Xiangxiang and Tang Suran came to the study. Tang Suran asked, “What would you like to have?”

“I’m fine with anything, since I’m not a picky eater.” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t clear about how the Tang family did things, since this was her first visit, so she couldn’t ask for whatever she wanted.

Tang Suran made the decision, and she told the servant to make some Chinese snacks as well as lotus leaf rose chrysanthemum tea.

“You can make tea out of lotus leaf, rose, and chrysanthemum?” Yun Xiangxiang knew a lot of flower-based tea, but this was the first time she heard of a combination involving so many flowers.

“Of course.” Tang Suran smiled. “Lotus leaf is great for slimming down, while chrysanthemum cools you down. Roses are mild in nature, so they can calm you down and encourage good blood flow. It even has the effect of beautifying you as well as removing fatigue, healing wounds, and protecting the organs. Taking it regularly speeds up your metabolism.”

Everyone from big families really knew how to take care of themselves. Yun Xiangxiang stopped when she came to a row of Chinese medicine books.

The books here were mostly new with some traces of being read, and they were kept in good shape, but only this row of Chinese medicine books looked old. They looked like they were read for a long time, so no matter how much preservation is made, it couldn’t erase the traces.

When Yun Xiangxiang observed it closely, there were bookmarks on a lot of books, and some books even had footnotes.

“Are you studying medicine, Miss tang?” Yun Xiangxiang asked casually.

“Yes, I’m in my postgraduate studies, and my major is in Chinese medicine,” Tang Suran answered. “Grandpa wants me to learn from the Song Family, but Mr. Song said they wouldn’t accept female students.

She sounded regretful, and Yun Xiangxiang looked at her in surprise.

Tang Suran didn’t dodge, and she let Yun Xiangxiang look at her like that. “I lost my composure just now, and I think you saw it too. I do have some ideas about Song Mian, as I liked him since I was fifteen. I wanted to be someone as great as he is. Finding a master is a test from the Tang family. The moment Song Mian rejected the request, he rejected me.”

Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t say anything when she was this straightforward, so she kept quiet.

“Don’t worry, I won’t find any trouble with you, nor do I have the right to,” Tang Suran said calmly. “I am a lady of the Tang Family. Every move I make represents the Tang family, and I will not do anything that is unbecoming of us.

Tang Suran paused for a moment and laughed at herself. “I just can’t let go, you see. I knew this day would come the moment I was rejected. I thought I was prepared, but I still couldn’t take it.”

“Why are you telling me this?” Yun Xiangxiang was a little curious.

“Destiny states that we can never be friends, but I hope we will never be enemies either,” Tang Suran came clean.

Yun Xiangxiang saw the real pride that only a young miss could have. “I will not make enemies out of anyone if I am unprovoked.”

“Even the woman who wants him?” Tang Suran asked.

“Countless women want him. If I fight every one of them, what meaning will my life have?”

No matter how much she loved Song Mian, she couldn’t fight for her territory her whole life. Once or twice was okay, but if she had to fight forever, she would be exhausted, as she wasn’t a machine. And even machines could break.

“Money and jewelry are coveted by many because they have value. Humans are pursued and loved because they have charisma. Nobody can cover that. Even if I beat those who love him now, there will still be more ahead.

This would never end.

“That’s a unique idea.” Tang Suran smiled, as any woman would feel jealous if they knew some other women liked their man.

“I can get jealous too, just not all the time,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled.

Being jealous was a spice in a relationship, not the bread and butter.

A couple in love would feel jealous when their partner received a lot of attention or when they were feeling weak.

She trusted Song Mian, and he trusted her, so they wouldn’t feel jealous about inconsequential admirers of the opposite sex.

Song Mian said he was jealous because Wei Shanshan was beside her last time because he wanted to say that he wished that he was beside her just like Wei Shanshan was.

“Maybe he can only be at ease and happy with a girl like you.” As Tang Suran was immersed in her thoughts, she understood why Song Mian liked Yun Xiangxiang.

Someone like Song Mian would be busy as a bee, and he had a big social circle, including female patients.

He was a very attractive man, and if his partner was not calm and rational enough, he would have to explain everything frequently just to ease her doubts. That would be exhausting for him.

“Women would make trouble because their man isn’t good enough.”

The ‘women’ here meant normal women.
