Chapter 6: A Face That Can Seduce People

After leaving the hospital room, Si Jiahe…

After leaving the hospital room, Si Jiahe was still a bit worried.

“Man Man, does Uncle not like me very much?”

He wasn’t a fool. The man sitting on the hospital bed was clearly the type who was used to giving orders from high positions. As soon as he entered, the other party’s appraising gaze was undisguised. He didn’t even ask him anything, yet his gaze already revealed a hint of dislike.

Tang Man freed one hand to fiddle with her phone while casually answering, “Why do you want him to like you? In his entire life, he hasn’t liked more than a few people. The older he gets, the less he likes anyone. Don’t pay attention to him.”

But, but that was her father. In his heart, he liked Tang Man, so he had expectations. He hoped that the two of them would have a beautiful ending in the future, and in this beautiful ending, Tang Man’s father was also an indispensable existence.

Si Jiahe’s lips moved a few times. It seemed that he had learned something from the woman’s attitude. In the end, he didn’t say anything.

Tang Man glanced at Si Jiahe’s low spirits from the corner of her eye. She didn’t think too much, or rather, she was unwilling to think too much.

She put down her phone and stroked the back of Si Jiahe’s hand with an affectionate gesture, softly consoling, “Don’t think too much. Our Jiahe is so good. There’s no one who doesn’t like him.”

Si Jiahe smiled, “Does Man Man also like me a lot?”

Tang Man said without blinking an eye, “Of course.”

But if you like me, then why did you leave me back then? Why did you go and like other people?

But Si Jiahe didn’t dare to ask. Some things, once said out loud, could no longer be taken back.

Tang Man stroked his hand. Now that they were out the door, the boy’s hand was even colder than hers. “How is it so cold? You should wear more clothes.”

Si Jiahe only pressed his lips together and smiled. The dimples on both sides appeared a little. Tang Man couldn’t resist poking them.

She said, “Where’s your home? I’ll drive you back.”

As she spoke, she unlocked her phone screen and sent a message to Xie Li, who was upstairs, telling him to bring the car keys down.

When Xie Li came down, Tang Man was pulling Si Jiahe and standing in a corner of the hall. The two of them were holding hands and standing very close. Tang Man was almost half-draped over the boy. One of her hands was on his waist. The boy’s face was a bit red, even the tips of his ears were red.

The moment he saw them, he almost stopped in his tracks. He gripped the car keys tightly in his hand. The sharp metal cut into his palm. A few seconds later, he finally calmed his emotions and slowly walked over.

Just in time to meet Si Jiahe’s gaze.

Subconsciously, Si Jiahe pulled out Tang Man’s hand that was almost about to burrow into his clothes. He became a bit more reserved. With his other hand, he tugged on Tang Man’s sleeve, indicating that someone was coming.

Only then did Tang Man turn around in a daze. With one glance, she saw Assistant Xie standing not far away with a cold expression. She didn’t pay too much attention. In fact, this Assistant Xie was like this for three hundred and sixty days out of the year, with a solemn appearance that didn’t allow for frivolity.

She stood up from Si Jiahe’s body and tugged at her wrinkled clothes. Pulling him along, she walked towards Xie Li and extended her hand, conveniently saying, “Thanks, I’ll bring the car back tomorrow.”

However, Xie Li didn’t hand over the keys in his hand. Instead, he glanced at Si Jiahe, who was a bit reserved and shy. A rare expression appeared on his face as he said something with a meaningful tone, “You broke up with Du Henian?”

The body of Si Jiahe, who was standing beside Tang Man, stiffened for a moment.

As for Tang Man, when she heard these words, her brows furrowed. She looked at the person in front of her. “Did you take the wrong medicine today?”

Even if she and Du Henian had already broken up, she wouldn’t allow others to question it, and with such a contemptuous tone at that.

Moreover, Si Jiahe had once had a relationship with her. It was impossible for Xie Li not to know.

Only then did Xie Li react to his own rudeness. He handed over the keys in his hand and rubbed his brow, saying to the woman who was fiddling with the keys, “Sorry, I was rude.”

Just now, in an instant, that scene had burned his eyes, even burning away his reason.

He felt Tang Man’s gaze secretly appraising him from the front.

He thought, this was a mistake he shouldn’t have made.

However, the moment he lowered his hand, he caught a glimpse of the boy standing beside Tang Man. His entire body was a bit stiff, his expression downcast to the extreme as if he was about to cry. He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly.

But, at least it was still somewhat useful.

Two years had passed. Aside from growing a face that could seduce people, this person really hadn’t made any progress at all.

Xie Li let out an almost inaudible scoff. In his heart, this was his evaluation.

Moreover, his brows deepened a little.

It seemed that Tang Man and Du Henian had already ended things. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten entangled with Si Jiahe so quickly.

He had been with Tang Man for many years, so naturally, he knew that although this person was heartless, she still had principles. She wouldn’t do something like having one foot in two boats.

But breaking up with one man in the morning and finding the next boyfriend in the afternoon was something Tang Man was capable of doing.

After all, she had done this kind of thing back in high school.

It had caused two boys to get into a big fight for her sake, almost leading to a death. It was only after he intervened that the matter was settled.
