Chapter 34: Properly

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, during this very recent period, several huge business opportunities appeared in Jiangcheng.

If he couldn't seize these opportunities to accumulate some strength, he was afraid he would never be able to stand at the same height as Tang Bingyan in this lifetime.

And how could the relationship between two unequal people last long?

However, Tang Bingyan remained unmoved upon hearing Xu Tian's words: "If they hadn't hurt you, I could ignore it, but they have already laid hands on you today. I will not let go of anyone who wants to harm you."

Upon hearing this, although Xu Tian felt a bit helpless, he felt a warmth in his heart.

However, he didn't say anything more at the moment. Tang Bingyan's character had always been to say one thing and mean it. Entangling further at this time would not only be meaningless but would easily make Tang Bingyan firm in her determination not to let him go back to work.

Late at night.

In the bedroom on the second floor, it was quiet.

Tang Bingyan was sleeping on the bed, while Xu Tian was sleeping on the sofa.

There was no help for it; both of them had injuries that hadn't recovered yet.

Originally, Tang Bingyan had asked Xu Tian to sleep in another room, but Xu Tian insisted on sleeping in the same room as Tang Bingyan and slept directly on the sofa.

"No!"

A scream suddenly came from the bedroom.

Xu Tian woke up with a start: "Bingyan, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Tang Bingyan was sitting on the bed, her face pale, panting, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, seemingly frightened.

The nanny in the next room also walked in quickly.

"Miss, are you having nightmares again?"

Xu Tian frowned and looked at the nanny: "Again? Does she often have nightmares?"

Before, she had always felt that Tang Bingyan was approaching him with a purpose and had never slept in the same room as her, so he didn't know about her having nightmares.

"Yes, Miss has been having nightmares often lately and rarely gets a good night's sleep."

The nanny explained, then habitually walked to the bedside table and took out a bottle of sleeping pills from the drawer.

Recently, Tang Bingyan had been having the same nightmare, dreaming that Xu Tian was burned to death alive.

This nightmare had kept her from sleeping well for a long time.

"Leave it to me here, you go out first."

Xu Tian took the sleeping pills from the nanny's hand. The nanny didn't say anything more, nodded, and left the room.

He pondered slightly, then put down the medicine bottle: "Don't take these in the future; taking too many is bad for your health."

Tang Bingyan looked up at Xu Tian without speaking.

Xu Tian looked at Tang Bingyan's rather haggard face, smoothed the dark hair on her forehead, and smiled: "Then shall I tell you a story?"

Tang Bingyan frowned: "I'm not a child."

Xu Tian gave a wry smile: "Fine, then shall we talk about something else?"

Tang Bingyan didn't speak, just leaned quietly against the bedside, seemingly waiting for Xu Tian to speak.

Xu Tian also fell silent for a while before speaking: "Actually, I've always had a question. You didn't know me at the time, why did you suddenly want to marry me?"

"Even if your taste is a bit unique and you like a scoundrel like me, isn't there anyone else like me in such a big Imperial Capital?"

"And, after we got married, I did so many things to hurt you, yet you weren't angry. No matter what I did, you would forgive me every time."

"The more you were like this, the less I was used to it, which is why there were so many things later, and I did more things to hurt you."

"You don't have to spoil me so much..."

Before Xu Tian could continue, Tang Bingyan suddenly said:

"I didn't spoil you."

Xu Tian, who had originally wanted to express his emotions properly, was suddenly stuck.

The reason he didn't like Tang Bingyan at the beginning was because of Tang Bingyan's personality, which would always kill a conversation.

When they first met, it was often that when he was speaking, just after he had finished laying the groundwork, the words he wanted to say next hadn't even come out before they were blocked by a single sentence from Tang Bingyan.

At that time, he had almost been stifled by Tang Bingyan countless times.

However, Xu Tian was used to Tang Bingyan's temper, so he just paused and followed her words: "Since you didn't spoil me, then let me go to work."

Tang Bingyan pondered slightly and said: "Okay!"

"Really?"

Xu Tian was a bit surprised.

She hadn't agreed a few hours ago, but suddenly changed her mind. Since when did his wife become so easy to talk to?

However, before Xu Tian could be surprised, Tang Bingyan said directly: "If you want to work, go be the President of the Yan Group. That company was originally prepared for you."

Xu Tian: "..."

No wonder Tang Bingyan suddenly changed her mind and agreed.

However, Xu Tian naturally wouldn't give in just like that.

Tang Bingyan had her toughness, and he had his own principles.

Subsequently, Xu Tian took a deep breath and looked at Tang Bingyan seriously, saying:

"This year I want to go back to the Imperial Capital with you. Counting the time, your grandfather's birthday is coming up soon."

"I don't think you want me to accompany you home and use your money to buy a birthday gift for the old man, right?"

Tang Bingyan frowned slightly: "We are husband and wife, is there a difference whose money is used?"

Xu Tian smiled: "If I even spend your money to buy the birthday gift, can your family look up to me? It doesn't matter if others look up to me, but your family can't!"

Tang Bingyan fell silent upon hearing this.

At this moment, her thoughts were somewhat complicated.

In the past, Xu Tian definitely wouldn't have been able to say such things.

And now, it had to be said that Xu Tian's words had touched her heart.

She didn't care how her family looked at her, but she didn't want anyone to look down on Xu Tian.

Most importantly, Xu Tian being able to think of her family seemed to indicate... Xu Tian was starting to care about her.

It's just that she had been deceived by Xu Tian too many times.

She didn't know if Xu Tian was truly repentant this time or if he wanted to use this opportunity to find Lin Miaoyin.

One last time.

She would give him one last chance!

Thinking of this, Tang Bingyan gazed at Xu Tian and said: "If you want to go, then go."

If Xu Tian deceived her again this time, she would never give Xu Tian the chance to leave her again...

"Wife, thank you."

Xu Tian gently held Tang Bingyan's cheeks and planted a light kiss on her snow-white forehead: "I won't let you down."

"Good!" Tang Bingyan said.

Xu Tian smiled with relief upon hearing this.

Subsequently, he lowered his head, his gaze landing on Tang Bingyan's red lips, which were almost perfect in shape.

However, just as he was about to lean in to kiss her, he clearly felt his shoulders become somewhat heavy.

The next moment, looking at Tang Bingyan, who was breathing evenly, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He had originally thought about taking this opportunity to properly "reward" his wife, but now it seemed such a good opportunity had been missed by her.

He even felt it was a pity for her...

The next day.

When Tang Bingyan woke up, she found that Xu Tian was already gone.

Tang Bingyan frowned, and saw a bowl of white rice porridge placed on the bedside table next to her, with a note pressed under the bowl. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
