Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 176 - 176 It’s too hard and easily broken

176 It’s too hard and easily broken

Tan Rou didn’t understand and was a little puzzled. “His heart doesn’t feel comfortable?”

Xiao Mo nodded his head and said, “Yes, Miss Tan is so devoted to Old Master Lu and with how you and Lu Qing are said to be the perfect couple in school, the Third master is probably jealous.”

Tan Rou couldn’t hold back her laughter and sneaked a glance at Zhuang Liu. “Are you serious? ”

Zhuang Liu’s ears were red, but he pretended to be magnanimous. “Xiao Mo! What nonsense are you talking about? You don’t want the bonus anymore, do you?”

!!

But as he thought about it, Xiao Mo has already mentioned it openly, it would have been better if he went all out. What would his reputation mean when he’s with Tan Rou?

He looked at Tan Rou awkwardly, which was rare and said, “Next time, bring me along.”

Only then did Tan Rou feel a little shy.

Zhuang Liu was always like this, exposing his most honest side to her. This immediately made Tan Rou’s heart soften, and she explained, “I didn’t treat Elder Lu for Lu Qing, I wanted to do this for myself. Don’t think too much about it. If you’re not busy, it’d be great if we get to come together.”

Zhuang Liu was satisfied. His lips curled into a smile and he glared at Xiao Mo. His eyes were filled with joy, as if he was saying, ‘you did the right thing.’

Xiao Mo lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter. Ever since the third master had threatened to deduct his salary for sending Miss tan home, Xiao Mo had already understood.

If there was anyone who disturbed the third young master and Miss Tan’s relationship, they would be punished regardless of whether it was intentional or not. On the contrary, as long as what they did was beneficial to the relationship between the third young master and Miss Tan, it would make the third young master happy no matter what.

If the third young master was happy, his bonus would be higher and they would be able to welcome spring to their office everyday.

After leaving the hospital, Zhuang Liu took Tan Rou to the private restaurant they visited last time.

When she saw the quiet bamboo forest and the elegant courtyard again, Tan Rou was already looking forward to it.

Although Chen Yi and Tan Jing had disturbed them the last time, the food here was really delicious. She couldn’t forget it after trying it once.

The small courtyard was called ‘Clearwater Pavilion’. The middle-aged boss who tried to smooth things over last time was known as Fang. This time, when he heard that Zhuang Liu had brought Tan Rou over again, he wanted to get the two to drink tea with him no matter what.

Tan Rou wasn’t reserved. She liked this place. Last time, she felt that the owner who could build such a paradise must be an amazing person.

Although the guests who were allowed to dine here were either rich or noble, this was definitely not the only measure for this place. More importantly, they had to be like-minded and pure-hearted to be allowed entry.

Otherwise, Chen Yi and Tan Jing wouldn’t have been rejected at the door, and Tan Rou wouldn’t have been treated so kindly by Mr. Fang.

With a smile, Mr. Fang handed the brewed tea to Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou. “My dear young friends, try it. This is a new batch of high-quality tea leaves. I don’t offer them to ordinary people. One must have a good taste in order to appreciate such tea.”

With a smile, Zhuang Liu picked up the teacup leisurely and began to chat with Mr. Fang.

Even Zhuang Liu, who was a proud child of god who always had self-discipline in the business world, showed a rare trace of comfort here. Other than the gentleness in front of Tan Rou, this was the one time where he felt most relaxed.

Tan Rou silently observed Mr. Fang and found that although he looked indifferent to fame and fortune, he was different from Bai Jing.

Uncle Bai was a proud and aloof doctor who didn’t want to associate himself with the people around him. However, Mr. Fang was a man who had explored the world and accepted the complicated relationships in the society without getting involved.

No wonder all these high-ranking officials and nobles liked coming here.

Being secluded in a city. Wasn’t this one kind of wisdom as well?

Seeing that Tan Rou didn’t say anything, Mr. Fang seemed to be deep in thought, so he greeted her with a smile, “It wasn’t very pleasant the last time we met, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to entertain you well. Today, we must enjoy ourselves to the fullest!”

Tan Rou smiled. “I like this place very much. I must have caused a lot of trouble for you the last time I was here. I truly felt bad for what happened.”

Mr. Fang waved his hand. “I can tell who’s the one who’s causing trouble. I’ve been wandering half my life, and I’ve seen enough of the fickleness of human nature and also of the world. I don’t want to be bothered by those schemes and intrigues anymore, but I’m in the mortal world, and I can’t be completely clear about it. That’s why there’s this Clearwater Pavilion.”

Mr. Fang was kind enough not to make things very obvious. Instead, he comforted Tan Rou tactfully, “You can’t choose your own life, but you can control it. Dear friend, you are like a sharp blade that has just been unsheathed, showing off its edge, but you must also learn to protect yourself. After all, it’s easy to break if you’re too rigid. If you ever feel tired, come over to my place, it will be a great place for you to rest.”
