Chapter 486: Chapter 484 The Person I Like is You_1

Hospital.

Lu Fan was dabbing Tao Tao’s lips with a cotton swab, moistening the corners of her mouth.

The man’s demeanor was gentle and serious, treating her as if she were a precious treasure.

Yuncheng, who had just intended to visit Tao Tao, saw the scene inside through the glass on the hospital door.

Her eyes immediately turned red with jealousy.

Why should a divorced woman deserve such care?

As she wallowed in her jealousy, Tao Tao’s eyelashes on the hospital bed were already starting to flutter.

Lu Fan noticed and immediately put down the cotton swab excitedly, calling out to her, "Taozi?"

Tao Tao’s eyelashes trembled again.

Soon, her eyes fully opened, looking bewildered as if she hadn’t yet grasped what had happened.

"Taozi!" Lu Fan called out again.

"Manager Lu." Tao Tao looked at him, her voice weak, "Where am I?"

"The hospital."

"?" Tao Tao was momentarily stunned, then remembered she had been struck by a falling stage light during the dance competition.

She had thought she was surely going to die!

But she hadn’t!

She was still alive!

Realizing this, Tao Tao felt incredibly relieved.

But then thinking of something else, her smile immediately froze, "My legs, and my arms, why can’t I move them!?"

Tao Tao shouted in horror, her eyes reddening in an instant as tears irrepressibly fell.

If her legs and arms were ruined, she would never be able to dance again, and her life would be no different from that of a disabled person.

"Don’t worry." Lu Fan grabbed her pale, soft hand immediately, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses looking gently at her, "It’s okay, your sister said that after your arms and legs heal, they will be just like before, and you will still be able to dance."

Hearing that Xia Ningxing had said this, Tao Tao felt as if she’d taken a reassuring pill, doubting no more.

"That’s good, that’s good."

Tao Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, unable to stop her tears.

"Right, Little Sweetie should be getting out of school soon. Manager Lu, could I trouble you to pick her up for me and then take her directly to the company to be looked after by an auntie? Don’t let her see me like this; I’m afraid it’ll scare her." As a mother, how could she not be concerned about her child?

Tao Tao hurriedly made the request to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan replied, "Little Sweetie was crying nonstop in the daycare earlier, so I’ve already picked her up and placed her in the old mansion being looked after by the old master and the nanny."

Hearing this, Tao Tao immediately felt relieved and then said apologetically, "Thank you so much, Manager Lu, for your trouble."

"Between us, is it necessary to be so polite?" Lu Fan gripped her hand tighter, his tone hinting at something more.

Tao Tao was taken aback, only then noticing that he was holding her hand.

She instinctively wanted to pull away, but the man gripped it even tighter.

"Lu, Manager Lu, please let go, my, my hand."

Her face was blazing red.

"I won’t let go!" How could Lu Fan possibly let go?

Tao Tao’s cheeks reddened even more. She bit her lip and mustered the courage to look at him, "What are you trying to say?"

She was somewhat indignant.

They had no relationship between them, and here he was, a grown man acting brazenly and taking liberties. What did he think she was?

Lu Fan took a deep breath and said to her, "Tao Tao, I like you, and I want you to be my girlfriend."

He liked her!

Very, very much!

He could no longer restrain these feelings and had to tell her!

"Ah!?"

Tao Tao was stunned, completely unprepared for his confession.

How could such a high-quality man take a liking to a divorced woman who also had a child!

Had he gone mad!

Her brain seemed to have crashed, momentarily blank.

It took her a while to come back to her senses.

After the shock and joy faded, Tao Tao dropped her head and then shook it decisively, refusing: "I’m sorry, Manager Lu, I can’t agree to this."

Being with someone like her would only bring him shame.

"Why?" Lu Fan looked bewildered, clearly not expecting her rejection.

"You clearly said before that you liked me!" he said, gently squeezing her shoulder, unable to hold back his questioning: "If you like me, don’t you want to be with me?"

"When did I ever say I liked you, you heard wrong," Tao Tao turned her head away, forcefully denying it.

At that moment, Tao Tao deeply regretted it; had she known it wouldn’t kill her, she would never have said those shameless words.

Lu Fan forcibly turned her face to meet his eyes: "Tao Tao, though I’m older, I am not deaf yet; you clearly said you liked me!"

"But that was then, and I don’t like you anymore, is that not allowed?" Seeing that denying was futile, Tao Tao simply let it all out.

"Why?"

Lu Fan simply didn’t believe her.

She was not the kind of woman who played with people’s feelings.

There had to be a reason.

"There’s no reason, when I don’t like, it means I don’t like," Tao Tao said coldly, pushing him away: "Please leave."

"I won’t leave!" Lu Fan was definitely not willing to go, his eyes fixed tightly on her, and then he seemed to think of something: "Do you feel that you’re not worthy of me?"

He persisted in asking.

At his words, Tao Tao couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Yes!

That’s what she felt, that she wasn’t worthy of him!

But did he have to spell it out so clearly!

Couldn’t he spare her some dignity!

Seeing her reaction, Lu Fan immediately understood that his guess was right and couldn’t help but sigh, "Tao Tao, why don’t you understand, I simply don’t care about your past."

He doesn’t care?

Tao Tao subconsciously looked up, meeting his gaze: "And you wouldn’t mind if I can’t have children either?"

She moved her lips, smiling bitterly.

Yet Lu Fan answered without any hesitation: "I don’t mind, not in the slightest!"

"Taozi, you know what kind of person I am; when I say I don’t mind, you should be very clear that I really don’t mind, and it’s not to deceive and toy with your feelings."

Tao Tao obviously knew him well.

But still...

"You might not mind, but what about your family?" Tao Tao’s eyes reddened again, tears spinning within: "Moreover, I mind a lot; I can’t let you be without offspring."

There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the gravest.

Though it’s no longer a feudal society, this tradition still lingers in people’s hearts.

Which family could accept the end of their line!

Fearing that she would reject him again, Lu Fan hurriedly said anxiously: "Who says I have no descendants, Little Sweetie is my child!"

Lu Fan said this while pulling her into his embrace, his voice as tender as a warm breeze: "Taozi, I really don’t mind these things, and you should stop overthinking, understand?"

"The person I like is you, not the children you could bear for me!"

Lu Fan repeated it once more, affirming his stance.
