Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but chuckle with disdain: “I only went to the bathroom because I felt like throwing up!”
Dongfang Yu: “…”
Watching Hai Xiaotang walk away, Dongfang Yu’s expression fell.
At the same time, he also felt some regret.
What on earth was he saying just now?!
Obviously none of those things were his true feelings, but he couldn’t help blurting them out.
Now, Hai Xiaotang probably hates him even more.
But even if she hates him, it’s better than her feeling nothing for him…
Dongfang Yu comforted himself with such thoughts.
Hai Xiaotang indeed hates him very much right now.
She intentionally lingered in the restroom for a long time before leaving, but she didn’t expect to accidentally bump into someone in the hallway!
“Sorry!” Hai Xiaotang hurriedly apologized.
The person she bumped into was a woman, who looked up at her and replied, “No prob…lem…”
As soon as the woman saw Hai Xiaotang’s face, she was momentarily stunned.
Having finally seen the woman’s face clearly, Hai Xiaotang felt as if she looked familiar, but she wasn’t sure where she had seen her before.
But she only felt doubtful for a moment before smiling apologetically at the woman and walking away.
The woman kept staring at her, her eyes full of bewilderment.
“What are you looking at?” Asked Pei Hao, who had just finished paying the bill, as he walked up to the woman. Following her gaze, he was surprised, “Do you know her?”
The woman came back to reality, “What, do you know her?”
Pei Hao laughed, “Of course I do. She’s my classmate. Noticed the similarity? The first time I saw her, I thought she looked somewhat like you.”
The woman was taken aback and couldn’t help asking, “What’s her name?”
“Hai Xiaotang.”
****************
After returning to her seat, Hai Xiaotang picked at her food a bit before putting down her fork and knife.
“Let’s go, I’m done eating.”
Dongfang Yu was slightly dissatisfied, “That’s all you’re eating?”
“I’m not hungry.”
Dongfang Yu didn’t try to persuade her further, he called the waiter over to pay the bill, and then the two of them left together.
Once they got in the car, Hai Xiaotang thought Dongfang Yu would take her to register their marriage. But he didn’t, instead he drove her straight home.
Hai Xiaotang was slightly puzzled, as she had assumed that Dongfang Yu would take her to remarry right away.
But why hadn’t he?
Could it be…
Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but ask tentatively: “My grandfather’s case, is it really all taken care of?”
Dongfang Yu glanced at her and nodded, “Yes, it’s all taken care of.”
Hai Xiaotang let out a sigh of relief. It was good that everything was settled. As for why Dongfang Yu didn’t take her to remarry, she didn’t want to ask. It was up to him.
When they returned home, Hai Xiaotang went straight to her study.
There was a small study in the villa just for her use.
Sitting at her desk and just about to read a book, Dongfang Yu entered the room, carrying a stack of textbooks.
Hai Xiaotang was somewhat puzzled. The man came over, put the books down and said, “These are the textbooks for the new term. I arranged for you to be enrolled as well, so you can just go to class tomorrow.”
Hai Xiaotang was surprised, but she didn’t refuse his goodwill, “Thank you.”
Dongfang Yu frowned dissatisfied. He suddenly leant in close to her, which startled Hai Xiaotang. She quickly pressed herself against the back of her chair and was on high alert, “What are you doing?”
Dongfang Yu stared at her deeply, his tone carrying an air of irrefutable authority, “No more saying thank you!”
“…” said Hai Xiaotang, “I thought it was common courtesy.”
Dongfang Yu lectured her, “There’s no need for courtesy with one’s own people!”
“…” Hai Xiaotang really wanted to tell him, she didn’t consider him her own people.
