386: Chapter 386: A Beauty Weeps!

A Heart in Chaos!

Tang Xiao cried.

Dominating and staunch, with an obstinate personality, she had always been indifferent and haughty.

Even during the process of healing old wounds, enduring immense pain and repeated torment, she never cried.

But now, she had become a figure of tears.

There were no sobbing whimpers, no convulsive shivering.

Tang Xiao stood there, watching Wu Jie serving dishes onto the table, silently shedding tears.

With her vast wealth, background connections, and social status…

With her experiences, knowledge, abilities, and character…

With her experience as the War King, the harsh training, and her tenacious fighting spirit…

Moved?

Crying?

Shedding tears?

Such things were almost impossible for her.

Perhaps it was for this reason that no man had ever attracted her or moved her before.

No matter what kind of expensive or rare gifts they gave, no matter how many extravagant words they spoke.

In her eyes, it was all worthless, even contemptible.

In terms of wealth, she controlled a Fortune 500 company—not counting the value of volatile stocks, her net assets alone were over ten billion.

There were very few men richer than her, and most of them were old men over fifty.

How many young men could compare with her?

In terms of family background, the Tianyuan Tang Family had a formidable reputation.

Even after Tang Pingde retired, he was protected by special ops soldiers, and other uncles and elders wielded significant power.

Not to mention other top-tier cities, at least in Tianyuan, who could afford to provoke them?

In terms of life experience, Tang Xiao had served as a personal bodyguard for visiting dignitaries, participated in countless anti-drug and anti-terrorist operations, and killed more villains and thugs than the majority of men had poultry.

Did they think they could move her with flowers and sports cars, with sweet nothings?

So…

Tang Xiao had remained single until today on her own merits.

Previously, countless sons from wealthy families, professionals, and socialites…

even asking her out for dinner was difficult, let alone winning her heart.

Show off wealth with gifts?

There was nothing Tang Xiao couldn’t buy if she wanted to.

For a female soldier who had even flown fighter jets, was there anything that could make her heart flutter?

Take her to the moon or Mars?

Consider a political marriage based on family background?

That was even less likely.

Tang Long doted on his daughter excessively, and the Tianyuan Tang Family did not fuss over such formalities!

Whoever dared to propose a marriage based on mutual interests would probably be beaten up by Old Mr.

Tang right away and driven out of the house.

In short.

No truly sincere and persistent man had ever appeared in Tang Xiao’s life, let alone someone like Wu Jie, who took the tactic of “shamelessness” to the limit.

So moved to tears?

That just didn’t happen.

At this moment.

Tang Xiao’s heart was in utter chaos.

And her crying also caught Wu Jie off guard.

He couldn’t help it!

He had never seen such a breathtaking girl cry like this.

Suddenly, he felt terrible inside.

It’s like that for many men, they can’t stand to see their women cry!

Just like that, a heart of stone can instantly soften.

Without further thought.

He put down the serving plate and the casserole, his face filled with concern, and took a step forward with napkin in hand.

“What’s there to cry about?” he asked.

As he spoke, Wu Jie intended to extend his arms for an embrace.

At a time like this, a warm hug was definitely more important than any consolation.

But…

Tang Xiao took two steps back in a bit of panic.

“I…

I’m fine!!” she said, biting her lip, contradicting how she truly felt.

She was flustered!

Confused!

The sudden surge of emotion had demolished her strong psychological defenses.

The emotional defenses of an ordinary woman are like a river dike.

They have a certain level of protective resistance, but if one is bold, meticulous, and thick-skinned, persistent tenderness can quickly breach these defenses.

But Tang Xiao was different.

Her’s was like a huge dam at a super hydroelectric power station, impervious to missiles and unshaken by earthquakes.

Her formidable psychological barrier allowed her to withstand various emotions: joy, sadness, sorrow, disappointment…

No matter how catastrophic the flood, she stood unyielding, her heart as solid as a rock.

However, the stronger such a dam, and the more floodwaters it intercepts, the more catastrophic it will be once it collapses, certainly worse than a breached dike.

Just like how on any given day…

Ordinary women express their emotions easily, prone to crying, laughing, and being boisterous.

But Tang Xiao had immense resilience, and as one who underwent special combat training, she knew well how to control her emotions.

She never easily succumbs to emotional turbulence, just like an old saying goes, “Mount Tai could crumble before her without a change in her expression.”

In her past life in the special operations forces, she could never let emotions affect mission execution.

Now charged with managing a vast corporation, she cannot wear her heart on her sleeve even more so, allowing others to easily grasp her thoughts.

However, the stronger her endurance, the more uncontrollable the emotional breakdown becomes once it starts.

Therefore, her emotions were particularly chaotic at this moment, causing her head to throb dully, utterly beyond her control.

She stepped back to let Wu Jie approach, unwilling to further muddle her own tumultuous feelings.

Wu Jie did not hastily advance either but rather pulled out a chair, softly saying,

“Don’t cry, let’s have dinner first!”

Tang Xiao bit her red lip, took a deep breath, and after a slight nod, she walked over and sat down.

As Wu Jie served the rice, he noticed Tang Xiao dared not look him in the eye.

Quietly accepting the bowl, Tang Xiao bowed her head and began eating while tears kept rolling down.

Wu Jie said nothing, knowing that this was not the time for idle chatter.

Whatever he said, it was better to let Tang Xiao’s emotions stabilize on their own.

Click!

Lighting a cigarette, Wu Jie silently smoked.

With furrowed brows, he squinted at Tang Xiao who was still crying.

After a silent sigh, he slowly stirred the pot of hot medicinal soup to help it cool down more quickly.

Without a word, Tang Xiao finished her meal, then moved the pot toward herself and began to eat quietly, head lowered.

By the time Wu Jie finished his second cigarette, Tang Xiao had eaten her fill.

“Go back and sleep, I’ll clean up!”

Snuffing out the cigarette butt, Wu Jie quietly cleared the bowls and pot to the kitchen.

Tang Xiao lifted her head, watching Wu Jie’s retreating figure, hesitating to speak.

After wiping the table and getting up, Tang Xiao slowly walked to the kitchen doorway.

The tears she had struggled to hold back now streamed out uncontrollably.

Wu Jie was eating leftovers.

At that moment, Tang Xiao suddenly regretted deeply.

Just now, she was only concerned about filling her own stomach, the tensions and the bodily torment had made her ravenous.

Her appetite had increased compared to before, leaving hardly any food left over.

Wu Jie had cared for her late into the night, cooking for her, he must have been hungry too!

And yet…

Wu Jie had held back to let Tang Xiao eat first.

What constitutes a good man?

It’s not about how many friends you have, nor how well you can party in bars and karaoke joints, and it’s certainly not about how slick you are with flirting or seducing women!

It’s about knowing how to take care of your own woman!

And not throwing money around when you’re wealthy, not calling friends for wild nights out, and certainly not surrounding yourself with crowds of beauties.

The true measure of a man’s strength…

Isn’t seen when he’s basking in the glory of success, but in his resilience during failure, and how genuine he is in everyday life.

Is it shameful to eat leftovers?

Why can’t you eat what you’ve made yourself?

Do you need to throw it away and starve to appear cultured?

Being frugal and saving is a virtue, and wastefulness is truly contemptible.

No matter if you’re poor or rich, ensuring your woman is well-fed first, that’s what makes a true man!

…

Watching Wu Jie relishing the leftovers, Tang Xiao almost couldn’t hold back her tears.

With her mouth covered and her eyes brimming with warm tears, she turned away.

Tang Xiao then quickly went to the master bedroom to rinse her mouth and wash her face before replacing the bedsheet soaked with her sweat.

As she lay in bed and checked her phone, it was already four in the morning.

There were many unread messages, presumably last night’s mahjong battle had sparked yet another flurry of red envelope gifting.

But Tang Xiao did not open them; hearing Wu Jie’s footsteps approaching, she quickly put down her phone and curled up inside the bed covers.

She felt so nervous!

Her heart was pounding!

Tang Xiao could feel her heart twitch with the sound of the door clicking shut.

Feeling Wu Jie lie down, Tang Xiao’s heart raced even more, as if it would leap from her chest.

Is this flushed, breathless, and accelerated heartbeat feeling what liking someone is?

Tang Xiao inhaled deeply, clenched her teeth, and clutched her fist tightly.

After forcing her excited emotions to subside, Tang Xiao turned around, ready to offer an explanation.

However, she found that Wu Jie had been watching her with a tender gaze all along.

Their eyes met, and in an instant, Tang Xiao found herself speechless, her face burning red…
