In the past, Tang Man thought it was because of Old Tang’s relationship. Now that she thought about it, with Xie Li’s current status, it was a complete waste of talent for him to deal with her personal affairs, and he didn’t need to look at her face. After all, Xie Li’s net worth was now no worse than some company bosses. In addition to his salary, he could also receive dividends from listed companies as a senior executive every year.
All the clues slowly revealed themselves before her eyes.
She waited for a long time until her phone in her hand vibrated. Only then did she walk out from behind the bonsai and greet Xie Li, who was standing in the lobby with an unclear expression.
“Miss hasn’t left yet?” Xie Li was a little surprised to see her, rarely showing his emotions on the outside.
Tang Man was not the kind of person who would wait for others. She hated waiting and hated trouble.
Tang Man handed the keys to him and casually mentioned, “I have something to do here later.”
Xie Li’s brows twitched but he didn’t say anything. He just handed what was in his hand to Tang Man.
It was only then that Tang Man noticed that he had been carrying a plastic bag in his hand, which seemed to contain some paper boxes.
She didn’t take it, only raising her eyebrows, “What is it?”
“Cetirizine.”
Oh, the medicine for treating allergic rhinitis.
Actually, she felt much better after leaving the ward. It was mainly because the floral scent in Old Tang’s ward was too strong. Coupled with the heavy smell in the hospital, her nose became very sensitive and felt uncomfortable.
Behind the hospital’s inpatient department, there was a pharmacy in the courtyard outside, probably run by the hospital, selling some common over-the-counter medicines.
Xie Li’s hurry just now should be to buy medicine.
After realizing this, Tang Man looked at Xie Li’s expression and finally accepted his kind gesture, saying a thank you.
She returned the keys, took the plastic bag, and was about to leave. But after walking a few steps, she couldn’t help looking back at Xie Li. He was still standing in the same place, not leaving, looking in the direction she left, seemingly a little lost in thought.
Meeting her sudden glance as she turned her head, Xie Li seemed a little startled, with a hint of unguarded loss on his face. These changes in emotion only lasted for a moment, and Xie Li quickly reacted.
“Does Miss have any other instructions?”
Tang Man suddenly asked, “Do you have anything to do this afternoon?”
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, thought for a bit, and said, “Nothing important.”
Nothing important. This was a very cautious statement.
Tang Man smiled. How come she never felt that Old Tang’s assistant spoke in such an interesting way before.
She nodded, “That’s good. Now accompany me to handle some personal matters.”
This sentence sounded a bit familiar. Tang Man had said the same thing to him over the phone before.
For a moment, Xie Li’s thoughts were in a daze.
Actually, when Xie Li first received this kind of call, he was still very naive. At that time, he was busy with company affairs, but the company boss’s daughter had specifically called him for help. He couldn’t be too cold, so without asking for details, he took the time to drive to the place Tang Man mentioned.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a breakup drama unfolding.
Tang Man, sitting in her seat, had a face full of helplessness on her refined and beautiful face. The boy opposite her, with dyed hair and a sunny and handsome appearance, was crying profusely. Both of them were wearing high school uniforms, and their behavior, contrary to their appearances, attracted strange looks from people in the restaurant.
When she saw Xie Li come in, Tang Man breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to stand up, but her hand was grabbed by the boy opposite her and wouldn’t let go. Tears poured down his face, and he couldn’t even speak. Tang Man, sitting opposite him, looked like a scumbag woman who had deceived someone’s feelings.
This was the first personal matter Xie Li had handled after receiving Tang Man’s call at that time – resolving a boy’s affection.
At that time, he was dumbfounded and helpless. Seeing the pleading look on the girl’s face and the boy who couldn’t stop crying, he had no choice but to nod.
Perhaps it was because he handled the matter too perfectly, without any worries afterwards. From then on, whenever Tang Man was pestered by someone and had no way out, she would call him. She simply treated him as a former boyfriend processor. Several times, a few boys even suspected that he was Tang Man’s elder family member, behaving very honestly in front of him.
However, since Tang Man went to university, he had never received such a call again.
The reason was the appearance of Si Jiahe.
Si Jiahe was the longest boyfriend Tang Man had ever had. The girl seemed to be deeply in love, and the two of them were always glued together. A few times when Xie Li went to find Tang Man on Chairman Tang’s order, that boy was always by her side, and their relationship was intimate. Tang Man never cared about showing her affection for that boy in front of him.
That boy was really very good-looking, a top-notch type even in the entertainment industry. When he smiled, his eyes seemed to be full of starlight. He was the type that Tang Man would like.
Because that boy looked so pure, like a blank sheet of paper, allowing Tang Man to dye it with her own colors. For Tang Man, this was an irresistible temptation.
At that time, Xie Li thought that Tang Man would really turn over a new leaf because of that delicate-looking boy. Later, he contacted Tang Man only through his phone.
But then, didn’t Du Henian appear later…
So–
Xie Li asked, “You broke up with Du Henian?”
Tang Man smiled, “Isn’t it obvious?”
Xie Li silently shook his head. He didn’t know what to say, and she didn’t need him to express any opinions either.
However– Du Henian was not as simple and naive as Si Jiahe back then. Whatever Tang Man said was what it was, and a single word of breakup could solve everything.
This person’s temperament was definitely not as it appeared on the surface. From the time Tang Man started dating him, her private contact with Xie Li became less and less, which was evident. Later, when he called her once or twice, it was Du Henian who answered the phone.
He had never told Tang Man about this, because once he said it, his own unsightliness would also be exposed, and his jealousy would be revealed without any concealment.
He knew how strong that man’s jealousy and possessiveness were.
“Help me with a favor later.” Tang Man smiled at Xie Li frankly, as if she didn’t know that the man in front of her liked her. So of course, she also didn’t know how complicated Xie Li’s thoughts were at this moment.
In Tang Man’s view, whether the man in front of her liked her or not had nothing to do with her. For her, Old Tang’s assistant’s identity might even carry more weight than the identity of someone who admired her.
So she looked at Xie Li and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “I’m afraid Du Henian will hit me later.”
