“I mean, I already—”
“Miss Tang, please let me stay. If I leave, Miss Qiu will come back and scold me, so please rest well. I promise I won’t do anything, I promise.”
The maid’s delicate face appeared in front of Tang Xiaoyu. From the looks of it, she was probably not even twenty yet. She was indeed young.
“Alright, get up. I won’t let you leave. Get up, don’t kneel.”
Tang Xiaoyu looked at the maid who was kneeling on the floor with an indescribable feeling in her heart. When the maid stood up, she turned around and saw a new set of pajamas placed on the cabinet beside her. It seemed like it was specially placed there for Tang Xiaoyu.
“Miss Tang, can you not chase me out?”
The maid spoke tactfully and did not dare to look at Tang Xiaoyu anymore. She knelt on the floor and looked at her reflection on the clean floor tiles with her cold touch.
“Okay, okay, okay. I won’t chase you out. You can just stand at the door now. I’ll rest for a while. When I have energy, I’ll get up and take a shower. Don’t stand there anymore. Just sit on the sofa and don’t come over to look at me.”
She buried her face in the pillow and tried to turn her back on the maid.
“Hurry up and get up. If you don’t get up, I’ll really chase you out. If you want to stand here and take care of me, just stand up and walk to the sofa over there. Just sit on it.”
“Okay, Miss Tang. Have a good rest. I’ll get up now.”
The maid hesitantly stood up and walked to the sofa Tang Xiaoyu had mentioned.
Tang Xiaoyu’s blurry vision finally became clearer with her back facing the maid.
“What time is it now?”
“It’s already midnight. Miss Tang, do you want some water? I’ll pour you a glass now.”
“No, it’s fine. Just sit down and don’t get up.”
Tang Xiaoyu closed her eyes again and looked out of the window at the hazy night sky. However, she was lying on the bed without any strength.
“Yes, Miss Tang.”
The maid returned to the sofa and sat upright. She looked at Tang Xiaoyu whose back was facing her. This woman was really strange. She was different from other guests.
Just as Tang Xiaoyu was thinking hard about what happened after she fainted, Mr Li and Gu Zhengrong, who were downstairs, shook hands and looked into each other’s eyes.
“Mr Gu, why don’t you go upstairs and take care of Xiaoyu? I’ll clean up this place. The most important thing now is to take care of Xiaoyu. You don’t have to care about anything else. Hurry up and go upstairs.”
“Mr Li, I don’t think Xiaoyu wants to see me right now. I think you should go up and take care of her. I’ll settle things here.”
“Mr Gu, why are you being so polite now? Weren’t you thinking of talking to Xiaoyu earlier? Now that you’re doing this, what’s more, you saved her just now. If she knew that you even offended Duan Jiangjie because of her, I think your relationship would have improved.”
Mr Li knew that Tang Xiaoyu had not completely let go of Gu Zhengrong. Similarly, Gu Zhengrong had not completely let go of Tang Xiaoyu. Both of them had each other in their hearts but were unwilling to admit it.
“I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m afraid that Xiaoyu will get angry when she sees me. The truth has proven that I’m no longer important to her.”
Gu Zhengrong’s voice was filled with sadness, and the fatigue in his eyes made Mr Li’s heart ache. He really did not know what kind of pain this man was enduring.
Mr Li was worried about whether Tang Xiaoyu was feeling better. If she were to be touched by a jerk like Duan Jiangjie, she would have already dismembered him.
“Alright then. I’ll go take a look at Xiaoyu. Sister Qiu’s business venue still needs someone to maintain it. Take care of it yourself. Whatever Sister Qiu wants, try your best to satisfy her. If Sister Qiu isn’t willing, tell me. I’ll settle it.”
Mr Li was being kind. He looked into Gu Zhengrong’s eyes and continued, “As for me and Xiaoyu, don’t think too much about it. You will understand one day.”
With that, Mr Li left the small room and took the elevator to Tang Xiaoyu’s floor. He opened the door and saw the maid sitting on the sofa with a straight face, but her eyes were fixed on Tang Xiaoyu, afraid that she would fly away.
“You may leave. You don’t have to take care of Miss Tang anymore.”
Mr Li stood in the doorway and looked at the maid.
“Yes, Mr Li, I’ll leave now. Miss Tang is still feeling a little unwell, but the doctor has already confirmed it, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Alright, you may leave.”
After Mr Li finished speaking, he extended his hand to signal for the maid to leave. The maid quietly walked out of the room. She was very sensible.
“Xiaoyu, are you alright? The effects of the drug should have passed. How do you feel now?”
Mr Li stood at the door and took a new set of clothes from the table next to the sofa. Seeing her back facing him, he knew that she was already awake.
“Mr Li, have you found out who that man is?”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was cold as she opened her eyes to look at the most exquisite mural on the wall beside her. Every stroke of the painting was the best.
“Duan Jiangjie from the Duan Group. He’s a playboy who uses his father’s name to play around with women. Xiaoyu, don’t worry. I’ve already gotten Gu Zhengrong to help you take care of him.”
Mr Li took the clothes and placed them beside Tang Xiaoyu’s bed before continuing, “Xiaoyu, if you think that your body is still fine, then you should rest more. I’ll go to another room to rest. If there’s anything, you can call me or Sister Qiu.”
“Alright, thank you, Mr Li.”
Tang Xiaoyu still had her back facing Mr Li and did not say anything else. She just quietly closed her eyes again. She did not have to worry about anything else. With Mr Li and Gu Zhengrong around, Tang Xiaoyu could be at ease.
“Xiaoyu, I’ll be leaving now. Rest well.”
Mr Li then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Just as Mr Li walked out of Tang Xiaoyu’s room, he found Gu Zhengrong standing at the other end of the corridor, his head lowered as he smoked.
“Are you still standing here waiting for Xiaoyu? Why don’t you go in and take a look? Xiaoyu might be waiting for you right now.”
