Chapter 251: What Do You Take Me For? (7)
The two of them exchanged glasses and gradually felt the thrill of drinking. Tang Chao could not stand drinking quietly because he found it to be too boring. Hence, he kicked Rong Yan and asked in a gossipy manner, “What’s the matter between you and Luo Anning? Tell us about it and make us happy, okay?”
Infuriated to hear his words, Rong Yan slammed the glass of wine onto the coffee table and warned, “You can tell me if you’d like to die.”
In other words, Rong Yan was trying to say that he could kill Tang Chao if the latter wanted him to!
Tang Chao knew that showing his thirst for gossip at this moment would be courting death. Hence, he immediately put on a sympathetic expression.
“Yan, feel free to tell me if there’s anything you’re troubled with. We’re listening. Don’t have any qualms or feel too embarrassed to tell us. Who are you supposed to talk to, if not us, your brothers?”
Feng Churui snorted with laughter, feeling amused by his expression.
After realizing that they were staring at him with intense gazes, he immediately put on an apologetic gesture and said, “Sorry, I just found this city planning proposal to be too amusing so I couldn’t control myself and laughed. You guys can continue.”
Rong Yan remained silent.
Tang Chao was speechless.
The secretary said, “Mr. Mayor, are you cracking a lame joke?”
What a perfunctory excuse. The least he could do was to come up with a smarter excuse.
Rong Yan took a few more sips of alcohol and thought about it for a long while before saying reluctantly, “I had a tiff with Luo Anning. We slept in separate rooms last night. Today, I made her scram… but I don’t know where she went.”
I slept in the bedroom while she slept in the living room. That was considered sleeping in separate rooms right?
Yeah, it should be considered. Rong Yan nodded after convincing himself.
Tang Chao clapped his hands with a look of excitement on his face. Even Feng Churui slowly closed his documents and paid attention to their conversation.
“Damn it! Could this be the legendary marriage crisis? Yan, you’re so manly!
“Ahem!” Feng Churui interjected.
Realizing that he was adding fuel to the fire, Tang Chao scratched his head and chuckled before putting on a look of worry. “Yan, why did you get into a conflict with her again? Didn’t you just go to England to pick her up?”
Rong Yan looked down and said calmly, “I haven’t settled the news reports in the country yet so I didn’t want her to find out. Hence, I brought her back to the apartment last night. She wanted to go inside the room to take a look and I got angry at her. That’s what happened.”
Tang Chao fell silent while Feng Churui took a deeper glance at Rong Yan before sighing resignedly.
“You two slept in separate rooms last night and you told her to scram today?” Feng Churui asked calmly.
“Yeah,” Rong Yan answered.
“Yan, I’m not trying to chide you but why are you still harping on about the past? You’ve been initiating contact with Luo Anning and improving your relationship with her. Yet, you made her angry and drove her away over such a trivial matter. Are you happy this way?” Feng Churui questioned.
Rong Yan frowned and exclaimed, “This is not a small matter!”
“Don’t you think this is an important matter?” Unable to take it any longer, Tang Chao continued, “Is a stupid guest room more important than your wife? You were the one who agreed to get married back then. If you didn’t want her, you can just get divorced. But now that you’ve gotten intimate with her, what else do you want to do?”
Although Tang Chao did not like Luo Anning, he was thoroughly amazed by her determination.
