Chapter 125 Are You Playing With Me?
Tang Shuya frowned slightly, but it only lasted for a moment before he became calm and composed.
When Ling Zhen thought Tang Shuya was finally willing to be quiet for a while, he stretched out his legs to harass her again.
If she was a little afraid the first time, today she could no longer tolerate it and decisively used the old method to kick back.
Just as the tip of her shoe was about to touch the other person, her ankle was instantly grabbed firmly.
Ling Zhen raised his eyelids and stared at the person opposite him. He smiled like a gentle lake, soft but with a hint of teasing.
Her face flushed instantly, and she stretched her lifted leg back. Tang Shuya refused to let go, and instead tightened his grip on her.
She didn't dare use too much force for fear of making any noise.
His big, warm hand covered her skin. His fingers were thin and strong, slowly stroking her skin with his fingertips, caressing her from time to time.
The tingling sensation brought by the unique roughness of the man's fingers immediately spread up from the ankle.
Ling Yuan frowned, pursed his lips, and could only glance at Tang Shuya with a warning look.
Tang Shuya found it quite amusing to see her being angry but not daring to speak, pretending to be vicious, and the smile on his face widened.
Shopping guides kept passing by them from time to time, and no one noticed the ambiguity and struggle under the table.
"Ling Zhen, what do you think of this?"
After waiting for a while, Hu Nanzhen asked again when Ling Zhen didn't respond. Ling Zhen finally came back to his senses, his eyelids fluttering open as he looked at Hu Nanzhen. "What did you say?"
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
As Hu Nanzhen spoke, she gently placed her hand on Ling Zhen's forehead.
"Bang!" There was a sound from under the table, followed by Ling Zhen's restrained groan.
The sound made Hu Nanzhen stunned. She looked down and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"
Ling Yuan's face paled slightly. Controlling the trembling in his voice, he touched his knee and said, "I just had a leg cramp and bumped into the table."
This was half true and half false. The fact was that she couldn't stand Tang Shuya's touch and pulled her legs back hard, but she didn't expect Tang Shuya to deliberately let go. Due to inertia, she couldn't control her strength and directly hit the bottom of the table.
"Let me see?"
Hu Nanzhen looked at him with concern and saw that there was indeed a red spot on Ling Zhen's knee.
"Ling Zhen seems a little weak. He's either cold or has cramps. Is he calcium deficient?"
The corners of Ling Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an awkward smile. He stammered, "Maybe."
Tang Shuya stared at her, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, as if he was sneering, but the laugh was so light that it was almost inaudible.
But it was almost inaudible, not completely inaudible. Ling Zhen still heard it keenly. After all, he was the culprit of her embarrassment.
She really wanted to disappear right there!
"Oh, how old are you? You're already calcium deficient? Let me tell you, there's a product from abroad that's really good for calcium supplementation..."
Ling Zhen had no intention of listening to what Hu Nanzhen said. She felt like she was walking on a tightrope across a deep canyon, and if she wasn't careful she would fall to pieces.
At this time, Tang Shuya's phone rang, and he stood up and walked to answer the phone.
When he came back, his complexion was still normal, but his eyes had become darker than before.
"I have something urgent to do, so I won't have dinner with you today."
This "you" of course refers to Hu Nanzhen.
Hu Nanzhen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, "Oh, okay, be careful on the road."
"Well, whatever you like, just ask them to send me the electronic bill."
Tang Shuya said lightly, then turned and left. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found Ling Yuan looking at him with a pair of black and bright eyes.
He pursed his lips secretly.
After leaving the mall, Han Su was already waiting on the roadside. Tang Shuya got in the car, glanced in the direction of the mall, and the look Ling Zhen had given him just now appeared in his mind.
What is that look?
Reluctance? Attachment? Or... resentment...
He suddenly felt a sense of heat, loosened his tie, and asked Han Su, "How is the old man now?"
"The condition is stable now. I heard that your father visited the old man before, and I don't know what they talked about, and then the old man fell ill."
Han Su said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing that Tang Yongnian had gone to see the old man, Tang Shuya's hands immediately clenched, and his tone was cold, "Humph, you didn't care before, but now you are doing something behind my back."
"Mr. Tang, your father has arranged a few people for the company. Do you need me..."
"No need. After all, he's still the chairman. Although he's rarely been back to the company in recent years, he hasn't completely delegated power to me. There are still many people in the company who are his minions. Let's see what he wants to do."
Han Su replied, "Yes."
On the other side, after Hu Nanzhen chose the ring, she took Ling Zhen downstairs to eat.
"Ling Zhen, I don't know if I'm being overly suspicious, but when he was choosing the ring just now, he seemed to be indifferent."
Hu Nanzhen looked aggrieved and spoke softly, as if thinking about something.
"Nanzhen, maybe he doesn't really want to marry you." Ling Zhen hesitated a little, but couldn't help but say this. "Do you want to reconsider?"
Hu Nanzhen's eyes darkened slightly, but when she looked up at Ling Zhen, her bright expression returned. "I know you're worried about me. In fact, I've already made the worst-case scenario. Even if he doesn't like me, as long as he doesn't break up with me personally, I'll still stick with it. Because not everyone can meet someone they truly love."
My heart felt like it was being tugged at by someone.
Ling Zhen's lips trembled slightly, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, his eyes revealing deep self-blame and guilt.
Hu Nanzhen misunderstood her expression as worry, so she tried to comfort Ling Zhen instead, "What's wrong? Don't look so bitter all the time. Don't worry about me, I've been in love plenty of times. You said you'd go shopping with me today, and since Tang Shuya's paying, we can just shop to our heart's content."
Ling Zhen pursed his lips and forced a smile.
"Hu Nanzhen!"
A man suddenly appeared from nowhere and grabbed Hu Nanzhen's arm.
Before Ling Zhen could react, Hu Nanzhen's face darkened and she turned around abruptly!
"Wei Zhou, why are you here?"
Hu Nanzhen struggled, but Wei Zhou tightened his grip and said angrily, "Why didn't you answer my call?"
"Haven't we broken up? Why should I answer your call?"
Wei Zhou was just a fleeting romance that Hu Nanzhen had to pass the time after she returned to China. It was not sincere at all. After she confirmed her relationship with Tang Shuya, they naturally broke up.
She shook her hands several times but couldn't pull them back.
Wei Zhou's eyes gradually turned fierce, "Cousin, are you kidding me?"
A fist was about to come down.
