On the way to the hotel, Tang Xiaobao kept making and answering calls.

Shen Mengyao, Qi Xiaoyu, Xiao Yanzi, Yingying, Zhao Haiyang, including Princess Alice...

All his friends and relatives are calling to greet him.

Well, although the process was a bit troublesome, I was still very touched.

In this life, it is worthwhile to have so many people who care about and love you.

Tang Xiaobao thinks so.

The dinner was sumptuous and of high standard.

The top restaurant in Jiangnan City, a large VIP box, was full of guests.

The senior government officials, as well as the Luo family and the Zheng family among the four major families, are just foils, while Tang Xiaobao is the absolute protagonist.

It's just that he personally doesn't like such occasions.

Drinking and drinking...

Tang Xiaobao dealt with it patiently.

Halfway through, he made an excuse to go to the bathroom and wanted to get some fresh air outside.

After draining the water and lighting up the cigarette, Tang Xiaobao puffed away in the smoking room outside the toilet.

Outside the window are flashing neon lights. As a leader among second-tier cities in the country, Jiangnan City has developed rapidly in recent years and has entered the ranks of first-tier cities. The city is extremely prosperous.

But for some reason, Tang Xiaobao didn't like this city.

Love the house and the bird?

Oh, Luo Ya is here, but he still can't fall in love with her. Instead, he is tired of the many hypocritical politeness at the banquet.

"Give me a cigarette."

Tang Xiaobao turned around, frowned, and asked, "Why did you run out?"

Zheng Wen was obviously not happy. In fact, she had been in a low mood just after eating inside. She stretched out her hand: "Smoke!"

"Girl, what are you smoking?"

Tang Xiaobao complained, but she still handed one to Zheng Wen.

"lighter."

Tang Xiaobao lit the fire for her.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Wen took the lighter herself.

Click.

Under the firelight, her face looked a little pale and tired.

Her movements were very sophisticated, she took a hard puff, swallowed, and blew out the smoke from her nostrils. She began to cough until her face turned red.

It turns out she doesn't smoke.

Tang Xiaobao wanted to stub out the cigarette for her, but unexpectedly she avoided it and said, "Just let me smoke one, I'm really upset."

"What's the matter? I see you are not in a good mood tonight. You have to be more open-minded. This matter has passed. Isn't this a near miss? You can't imitate others and get stuck in it and be unable to get out. I'm optimistic. You, in my impression, you are very strong." Tang Xiaobao comforted and encouraged.

Zheng Wen glanced at him and asked: "When did I fall into this? Do you think I am still worried about the kidnapping? You think I have a psychological shadow, but actually I don't, I really don't."

ah?

Tang Xiaobao was baffled.

"Really not?"

"Really not."

Zheng Wen said seriously.

Tang Xiaobao was puzzled and said: "Then why are you looking so sad? Aren't you going home? You should be happy. Oh, are you angry with your parents? That's really not possible. You don't know that during this time , they are also anxious to get angry, there must be something wrong tonight, isn't your uncle here?"

"I don't want to go back to this home." Zheng Wen said angrily.

Tang Xiaobao was ashamed: "Don't want to go home?"

"Didn't Yaya tell you?"

Tang Xiaobao pretended to be confused: "What?"

"There is no warmth at all in my family. They just force me into marriage and insist on letting me go on a blind date."

sweat……

Tang Xiaobao became a little wary and said: "My family is also doing this for you, you are not the youngest anymore -"

"You mean I'm an old woman?"

Zheng Wen interrupted Tang Xiaobao: "I am the same age as Yaya, do you think I am old? Should I be anxious?"

Ahem...

Tang Xiaobao said awkwardly: "That's still a bit small."

"They always want to use me as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits. What do you mean by such a family? Is there any warmth at all? How can I want to go back to such a family? Such parents - oh, there is no choice in this.

, but I really don’t want to listen to them. Tell me, how should I deal with myself after I go back? Should I continue to escape from marriage? I’ll be kidnapped again..."

Tang Xiaobao did not dare to express his position easily.

He is always a little wary.

At Yanda, he had been classmates with Zheng Wen for a while, and he had a certain understanding of the Zheng Wen in front of him.

He has a super high IQ.

He was afraid of falling into a trap.

The key is that on the island, Zheng Wen dedicated her first kiss to him, so he had to be vigilant.

Is Zheng Wen a beautiful woman?

Of course yes.

Does Tang Xiaobao like beautiful women?

Of course I like it.

But some people seem destined to only be friends.

At most, it can be regarded as a lover who is not yet satisfied.

For example, Zheng Wen.

Seeing that Tang Xiaobao didn't speak, Zheng Wen couldn't help but said: "Hey, did you listen to what I said?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then you won't speak?"

"Well, every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite. What do you want me to say?"

Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly.

"Are we friends?" Zheng Wen asked.

Tang Xiaobao quickly said: "Yes."

"Are they good friends?"

"yes."

"If your friends are in trouble and you just ignore them, what's the difference between you and them? Why am I so miserable?"

Zheng Wen let out a long sigh.

Tang Xiaobao trembled.

Feeling spring and regretting autumn?

This is not Zheng Wen's style.

Why are you so uneasy?

Tang Xiaobao shut up and did not dare to speak.

But sometimes, the problem can't be solved just because he doesn't want to talk.

He may not want to say it, but Zheng Wen will not let him go.

"Shouldn't you take a stand?"

Zheng Wen said angrily.

Tang Xiaobao broke into a cold sweat.

Take a stand?

What attitude do you express?
