395: Chapter 395 The Tang Family’s Daughter Comes of Age!

Her father’s interrogation silenced Tang Xiao.

“Xiao, why aren’t you speaking?

Did I guess the truth?” Tang Long asked with a laugh.

Grinding her teeth, Tang Xiao complained, “Oh Dad!

I…

I’m not being pretentious, I just…

I don’t know what I’m feeling.

One moment I really dislike him, the next I miss him so much.

Sometimes I find him very warm, and other times I find him especially annoying!”

Hearing this, Tang Long burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing about?

I’m about to die of worry!” Tang Xiao pouted and muttered.

Tang Long tried to contain his laughter, speaking joyfully,

“Don’t you get it?

You’ve fallen for him!

You’re just in the early stages of your affection, and since you’ve never been in love before, you feel all flustered and at a loss!”

“In fact, many who have been in love have experienced this kind of longing and insecurity.

Trust me, if you two keep getting along well, things will naturally progress.”

“Enjoy this period of bittersweet enmity and playful ambiguity.

Once you two are truly together, becoming an old married couple, you won’t reminisce about how sweet the dating period was but will be nostalgic for the time of ambiguity!”

“Because that’s the most interesting time, when two people are fond of each other, but due to personality clashes, they constantly spar, bicker, and make up—it’s indescribably happy!”

Listening to this made Tang Xiao’s skin crawl.

“Is that so?

That’s…

happiness?”

“Isn’t it happiness?” Tang Long retorted.

“Up until now, you two haven’t had any intimate behaviors, have you?”

“Uh…

this…”

Tang Long urged her, “Just say it!

The old you was never this indecisive and hesitant!”

Clenching her fists, Tang Xiao reluctantly admitted, “Alright, I confess, there has been, but it was accidental.”

Surprised and delighted, Tang Long said, “Accidents are fine too!

Remember, be it your embarrassment or panic, it’s all a new experience for you.”

“Instead of being reserved, let go and be yourself, act carefree and easy-going!

After all, even if this pretend marriage turns real, that’s a good thing, not a bad one!”

“Just be careful not to cross the line, given your past injury.

You shouldn’t get pregnant.”

Tang Xiao immediately said, “Actually, I…”

“What?

Don’t tell me, you two have already crossed the line?” Tang Long asked, astonished.

Tang Xiao hurriedly changed her statement, not daring to reveal the truth that she had healed.

“No…

No!

What I meant was, you’re right, Dad.

I’ve been too tense and not living life according to my own character and preferences.

All strung up, I’ve been jittery all day long, like a crazy person!”

Laughing, Tang Long said, “If you can think like that, then that’s good!

Both of you are adults and have the fate to be together, with mutual feelings for each other, so drop your guards and enjoy it fully!”

Startled, Tang Xiao said, “But why do I sometimes really feel like hitting him?”

“During this ambiguous phase, hitting is affection, scolding is love!” Tang Long laughed, “If you beat him up, wouldn’t you be happy all day?

Otherwise, why do you think our ancestors came up with the phrase ‘teasing and bickering’?”

Tang Xiao was taken aback.

Wasn’t that how it was yesterday?

After punching Wu Jie in the morning, she felt happy the entire day.

Those involved are blinded while bystanders see the truth!

Having listened to her father’s teachings, she truly had an epiphany!

“Damn it!

Then…

then could I have really fallen for him?” Tang Xiao mused to herself.

Tang Long laughed heartily, “Don’t be shy or deny it!

Let things happen as they may.

During the sweet time when love first buds, just let nature take its course.

Who knows, maybe one day amidst the bickering, you two might end up rolling into bed together!”

In an instant, Tang Xiao’s face turned crimson.

“Oh Dad!

How can you talk about your daughter like that?”

With boisterous laughter, Tang Long said, “Can I be blamed?

You seem tough and strong on the outside, but inside you’re shy and delicate like a little girl.

You also haven’t dated for so many years; do you know how worried I’ve been?”

Indignantly, Tang Xiao said, “No matter how worried you are, you can’t push your own child into a pit of fire!”

“What pit of fire?

Wu Jie?

Even if it is, you’re the one who entered a pretend marriage with him; you found your own pit of fire!”

As Tang Long continued to laugh heartily and tease her, he added, “Come on, don’t deceive yourself.

When fate arrives, no one can stop it.

Just enjoy your love!”

“The Tang family’s daughter is all grown up!

Your father is so happy.

Let’s go eat, tonight we must drink an extra glass or two!

Haha!”

With that, Tang Long ended the call.

Tang Xiao shook her head with a sigh, feeling suddenly dejected.

Let myself go?

Hmph!!

If I’m not a bit fierce and tough, won’t that rascal Wu Jie become insufferable?

Indeed, there’s nothing to fear in a barrage of bullets; only Wu Jie’s rascality is truly fearsome!

“Xin’er was right before, men are mostly creatures swayed by the novelty!”

“Is it genuine affection or just a desire to possess the body, this needs to be tested over time!”

“Before a man gets what he wants, he will try every means, with sweet talk, warm romance, caring inquiries—his offensive is relentless!”

“Once he gets it, he quickly grows tired and indifferent, without any of the previous enthusiasm and initiative!”

As Tang Xiao thought of this, she decided to heed her father’s teachings.

No more nerves on guard, no more wild thoughts.

No more forced concealment, no more saying one thing but meaning another.

I’ve always been fierce and assertive, direct and outspoken, acting pretentious is just too exhausting.

If you like someone, you like them!

If you dislike someone, you dislike them!

Why live so troubled?

Only by letting go, can life be exciting!

Having come to this realization, Tang Xiao immediately got up to get dressed and changed into a new outfit before heading downstairs.

No way around it!

Having had a good nap in the evening, I couldn’t sleep now if I tried!

Thinking about the dinner and playing mahjong, how lively that would be!

Why should I lie in bed all alone?

What, am I trying to be Lin Daiyu, all mournful and sentimental?

Arriving downstairs, Tang Xiao went straight to ring the doorbell.

Fang Qingya quickly came to open the door.

As the door opened, the spicy and fresh aroma of hot pot hit her in the face.

Fang Qingya, with her apron on and cheeks flushed from the spiciness, glanced at Tang Xiao and couldn’t help but laugh,

“Did Jie say you were feeling unwell and had already gone to sleep?”

“Sleep?

It’s not even nine o’clock yet, I came down to join in on the fun!”

Tang Xiao walked inside, following the enticing aroma to the dining room.

In the dining room.

Everyone was gathered around the table, toasting and feasting merrily.

However, Lin Yuan was not there; since it was the weekend, she was probably back at the orphanage with the kids again.

“Yo!

Big sis is here!

Come…

come sit!”

Tang Xin immediately moved her chair to make room next to Wu Jie.

“I’ve eaten already, I just came down because I was bored!”

As she said this, Tang Xiao subconsciously glanced at Wu Jie.

Wu Jie also looked up at her in understanding.

Their gazes met, and Tang Xiao instinctively looked away.

“Qingya, where’s your mahjong room?

Whichever table it is tonight, count me in!”

“Don’t, big sis, team up with me!” Tang Xin said playfully, “We can take turns to play, and we’ll definitely beat them!”

“Haha!

Someone’s talking big again, have you forgotten the bloody lessons from the last two times?” Tang Kun sneered.

Bai Fengling smiled gently, trying to advise kindly, “Xin’er, don’t take this the wrong way, but your mahjong skills…

really need improvement.

Let President Tang play tonight!

Don’t let it be three times unlucky; I’m really afraid if you lose again tonight, you’ll end up crying!”

“I…

I won’t cry!” Tang Xin said defiantly.

Fang Qingya laughed, “We play mahjong for fun, but you’re so bad, not even knowing what hand you have—it’s almost like giving away money.

Better let Xiao take your place!

Let us see how formidable the domineering CEO can be!”

Tang Xin pouted her lips, “Then I’ll team up with big sis, and we’ll split the wins and losses evenly!”

“Great!

What are we waiting for?

Let’s go!” Tang Kun immediately wiped his mouth and stood up.

The group made their way to the mahjong room, with Tang Le and Tang Kang looking eagerly at Zhu Cui and Zhang Hao, clearly itching to start the game as well.

“Go ahead!

I’ll eat slowly here by myself!”

Wu Jie shouted, about to pour himself a drink, when Lin Yuan called him,

“Jie, there’s big trouble!

Yuan Zihan has gone missing!”
