Chapter 127

"I hope so."

Xu Tian looked at the shattered wine bottle on the floor, feeling that even if he explained, the other party would think he was just trying to cover things up.

"Since your girlfriend is back, I won't disturb you two anymore. You can handle this wine bottle yourself."

Because Tang Bingyan had been facing away from the door from the start, and Xu Tian had directly blocked her afterward, Shang Yiran still hadn't seen Tang Bingyan's face.

Although he was very curious about who exactly Xu Tian's girlfriend was, in such an awkward situation, he didn't even need to think about how suffocating it would be to have Xu Tian introduce his girlfriend to him.

So he hurriedly greeted Xu Tian and took his leave.

Xu Tian closed the door helplessly and went to the kitchen to find a rag and broom to clean up the shattered red wine.

After he finished cleaning up, he found Tang Bingyan sitting on the sofa wrapped in the blanket, staring at him.

"Was that a female artist you brought?"

"Wife, you have to trust my professional qualities as an agent."

Xu Tian knew he would have to pass this hurdle sooner or later. He washed his hands, returned to the living room, and sat beside Tang Bingyan: "In my eyes, Murong Xue is just an artist with a future. Other than that, I won't have any thoughts about her."

"Besides, there are so many female artists in the entertainment industry; even if I were managing a man, it would be inevitable to have contact with them."

"I can guarantee you that apart from you, I will not have any entanglements with any woman, nor will I do anything to let you down."

Tang Bingyan silently sized up Xu Tian, seemingly judging whether his words were sincere or just perfunctory.

"Since you've already let me work at Tian Feng Entertainment, can you have a little confidence in me?"

Xu Tian pulled Tang Bingyan into his arms and kissed her red lips lightly: "I know I was a jerk before and did many things that let you down, but it won't happen again. In this life, I, Xu Tian, will only have you, Tang Bingyan, as my woman."

"Are you sure you won't lie to me anymore?"

Tang Bingyan's voice drifted faintly into Xu Tian's ears.

"I stake my life on it."

Xu Tian held up three fingers in a vow: "If you find out later that I lied to you..."

"Then I will lock you up."

Tang Bingyan turned around, forcefully grabbed Xu Tian's chin, and interrupted him: "Lock you up for a lifetime."

The next morning, Tang Bingyan went to work early as usual.

Xu Tian dropped Tang Bingyan off downstairs, watched her car drive away, and then called A Wei.

Although Tang Bingyan had slept for over eight hours yesterday, her complexion was still not very good.

Now, he needed to understand Tang Bingyan's physical condition over the recent period.

"Mr. Xu, is there something wrong that you're calling me so early?" A Wei was very surprised that Xu Tian would call him first thing in the morning.

"How has Bingyan's health been during her business trip?" Xu Tian asked directly.

"Uh..."

A Wei struggled for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

Normally, his Young Lady's health condition was to be kept absolutely confidential; after all, a slight carelessness could give those who wanted to harm her an opportunity.

Xu Tian didn't know A Wei's thoughts and still thought Tang Bingyan's situation was very serious.

"Tell me the truth, what exactly is wrong with Bingyan?"

"This..."

A Wei thought for a while, finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said: "The Young Lady suffered a serious injury when she was young, so her body was already weaker than an ordinary person's. Plus, she has been working day and night, and she has severe anxiety. Although the car accident was treated and left no sequelae, because her foundation was too poor, and she has stayed up for several nights recently for a tricky project, her health has become even worse."

Immediately after, A Wei continued: "Mr. Xu, the person the Young Lady trusts most is you. If possible, please persuade her."

Xu Tian was silent for a moment, said "Mm," and then hung up the phone.

Afterward, Xu Tian sat on the sofa, feeling inexplicably panicked.

He only remembered that in his past life, Tang Bingyan's health had deteriorated because of the car accident, but he hadn't expected that even without that accident, her body was riddled with holes.

Xu Tian tried hard to recall Tang Bingyan's physical condition at this time in his past life, wanting to take her to see the Divine Doctor Zhang Zizhen before her health deteriorated to an incurable degree.

Suddenly, Xu Tian's eyes widened abruptly.

He hadn't recalled Tang Bingyan's health condition, but he remembered another terrifying thing!

If he remembered correctly, in a short while, Tang Bingyan would personally lead a team to the Lighthouse Country to negotiate a major project.

But during this trip, she would be subjected to a planned assassination by an international assassin organization.

Not only would the security team she brought be wiped out, losing important patent treatments, but Tang Bingyan herself would be seriously injured and issued a critical condition notice by the hospital.

At that time, Xu Tian received a call from the hospital and thought it was Tang Bingyan's "bitter meat scheme," so he ignored it completely.

By the time he learned that Tang Bingyan had really had an accident abroad, she had already been forcibly sent to the Yinghua Country by the Tang family for treatment.

In this life, he absolutely must not let Tang Bingyan go to the Lighthouse Country!

With one hour left until she got off work, Xu Tian set off from the apartment, intending to pick Tang Bingyan up.

Since Tang Bingyan didn't know how to rest, he would be the one to remind her.

Before Xu Tian reached the company, he received a text message from Tang Bingyan, telling him she had a meeting tonight and wouldn't be having dinner with him.

Xu Tian threw his phone onto the passenger seat and accelerated toward the Yan Group.

Working overtime and still wanting to skip dinner?

Did she really think he was air?

When Xu Tian arrived at the Yan Group, Tang Bingyan was holding a meeting with several high-level executives in her office; Gu Beicheng and Chen Xiaoxiao were also there today.

The high-level executives all looked terrible, likely having just been reprimanded.

But when they saw Xu Tian enter, a hint of curiosity still appeared in their eyes.

There had long been rumors throughout the company that Tang Bingyan had a boyfriend, but most had never seen him.

Because Tang Bingyan was far too forceful, the high-level executives naturally labeled him a "pretty boy" after seeing Xu Tian.

However, although the high-level executives were somewhat dismissive of Xu Tian in their hearts, they didn't dare reveal their thoughts in front of Tang Bingyan. On the surface, they remained serious and proper, not even daring to take an extra look.

Gu Beicheng, who had been standing beside Tang Bingyan, paused imperceptibly with the file in his hand after seeing Xu Tian enter.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he nodded at Xu Tian as if nothing were the matter.

Tang Bingyan was focused on the document in her hand. The lid of the thermal cup beside her was open, the water inside had no heat, and there was a thermal lunch box on the coffee table beside the sofa, which also looked untouched.

Xu Tian frowned slightly, walked straight past the executives to Tang Bingyan's desk, and only then did Tang Bingyan see him.

"Wait for me a moment."

After Tang Bingyan finished speaking, she buried her head back into the document, but in the next second, she found the document in her hand had been pulled away.

"Why haven't you eaten yet?"

Xu Tian looked straight at Tang Bingyan, waiting for her answer.

Chen Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, gasped, almost unable to stop herself from cursing out loud.

Without her Young Lady, you, Xu Tian, are nothing but a useless piece of trash.

Now you're actually giving the Young Lady attitude in public; who gave you the nerve!

Tang Bingyan also didn't expect Xu Tian to speak to her in this tone, as if the Xu Tian who had always wanted to get rid of her had returned.

But when she looked up slightly, she saw that Xu Tian's expression was serious, but what flickered in his eyes was obvious heartache and concern.

She pursed her lips: "No time."

Xu Tian's expression darkened even more upon hearing this: "No time, so you don't eat? Do you think your stomach is made of iron?"

Tang Bingyan was slightly startled to see Xu Tian's expression become even uglier.

This Xu Tian was very similar to the Xu Tian before her car accident, but not exactly the same.

Although Xu Tian was very fierce at this moment, it made her feel inexplicably warm.

To the side, Chen Xiaoxiao was about to go crazy with anger.

Xu Tian really thought of himself as a big shot?!

Interrupting the Young Lady's meeting was one thing, but he was also giving her attitude in front of everyone.

Did he really think the Young Lady had no temper?

At the same time, A Wei was also breaking out in a cold sweat for Xu Tian.

He thought to himself, I told you to persuade the Young Lady, but not like this!

You're reprimanding the Young Lady in front of the company's high-level executives; isn't this just asking for death?
