When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 361: Being the Sheng Family’s Daughter-in-Law Isn’t Easy (Part 1)

"Snap" The phone fell from her hand, Tang Yanqi’s face felt burning hot.

I’m coaxing you...

Sheng Jianan’s deep voice seemed to still linger in her ears. Tang Yanqi didn’t bother to pick up the phone; she leaned against the wall, her head slightly tilted back.

Her mind was chaotic, yet clear.

The heart in her chest felt as if it was filled with something, sweet and sour.

Everyone said she was indifferent and composed, but how many people truly knew the insecurity hidden beneath it?

Every bit of confidence, every hint of pride she had was earned through solid achievements.

If there weren’t tangible evidence laid before her, Tang Yanqi never considered herself better than others.

So, when Sheng Jianan admitted he had feelings for her, she believed him, but why?

Why would he like her? Even if it was just a little, why her?

Tang Yanqi hadn’t gone into detail thinking about these things, not because she didn’t think about them, but because she dared not delve too deep. She wanted to linger a bit longer in that beautiful dream.

And now, that audacious, unparalleled, domineering man, over the phone, blatantly stated he was coaxing her. What was she still tangled up about?

Tang Yanqi suddenly laughed, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye. She never liked crying because crying doesn’t solve any problems, it only proves your weakness to others.

But now, somehow, the tears just fell.

After calming herself for a while, Tang Yanqi slowly squatted down to pick up the phone that had fallen to the ground.

The call was still connected; before she could say much, she heard the boarding reminder from the other side. Tang Yanqi lightly clenched her fist, "See you soon."

Coming out of the restroom, Qi Cheng was ready to tease but suddenly noticed her reddened eyes, frowning, "Tangtang, what’s wrong? Did you cry?"

Tang Yanqi beamed at them with a big smile, "Come with me to the supermarket."

"Huh?"

Half an hour later, four girls were in the supermarket closest to Sheng Jianan’s apartment, on a shopping spree. Qi stared at her overfilled shopping cart and wailed, "I say, Tangtang, are you just making us your labor force?"

The person standing before the beef cooler didn’t even lift her eyelids, seriously picking out the meat she wanted to buy, "Knowing you’re a labor force and still speaking out, Chengzi, does self-torture feel gratifying?"

Qi Cheng: "...Can I pretend not to know you?"

"No."

Tang Yanqi placed the chosen beef into the cart and smiled slightly, "Because you’re not good at acting."

"You..."

Qi Cheng wailed again, "I must have been a bad person in my past life; otherwise, why would I be friends with you in this life?"

Tang Yanqi bought a lot of things, and the four girls’ hands were full. They reached Sheng Jianan’s apartment, Tang Yanqi entered the password and went inside to put the items down.

Qi Cheng collapsed on the sofa, Bai Bing and Bai Xue glanced around the apartment and sighed lightly, "Sure enough, the world of the rich, we don’t understand."

Tang Yanqi went to the kitchen to pour them some water, "Thanks for your hard work."

Qi Cheng: "You indeed should thank us, I say, Tangtang, aren’t you creating trouble where there is none? What kind of person is the President of Shanda? His home must have those five-star chefs lined up like that. Why do you insist on cooking by yourself? I’m telling you, if you inhale too much oil smoke, your face will turn yellow, and you better be careful he won’t want you."
