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

Chapter 397: You’re Not Allowed to Reveal Your Identity (7)

"Nothing much, Mrs. Xu was talking about a novel she’s been reading recently?"

"Hmm?"

"The main idea is that the female lead has amnesia and forgets the male lead. The male lead is angry but can’t bear to let her go. It’s a tangled story of the two."

Tang Yanqi didn’t know why Sheng Jianan suddenly asked this and casually asked back, "Then what were you guys talking about just now?"

"He came to apologize."

"Apologize?"

"Yes, on behalf of his sister."

Tang Yanqi frowned, "That’s not right."

Without noticing, the words had already slipped out, and Sheng Jianan raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, "What?"

"Shouldn’t Miss Xu come to apologize herself? Okay, even if the brother does it on her behalf, shouldn’t the apology be directed at me?"

Sheng Jianan suddenly stopped, quietly looked at Tang Yanqi for a few seconds, and then turned around to walk back.

"What’s wrong?"

"I’m going to call him back to apologize properly."

Tang Yanqi was slightly startled, then burst into laughter, quickly pulling Sheng Jianan back, "I was joking."

Sheng Jianan’s lips curled up slightly, his gaze met Tang Yanqi’s sparkling eyes, with warmth appearing in his eyes, his hands resting on her shoulders under the not-so-distant streetlight.

"Stay by my side, I won’t let you be wronged."

The soft, yellow streetlight was hazy, yet it accentuated the man’s strikingly handsome features.

The smile on Tang Yanqi’s lips gradually faded, her long eyelashes lowering slightly, she softly said, "Hmm"

She believes, as long as it’s his words, she believes them all.

After walking in the yard for a while, the two slowly returned to the room. Tang Yanqi showered and came out, grabbing her laptop to check if the school had sent any emails.

The phone suddenly chimed. Seeing the sender, Tang Yanqi turned to glance at the bathroom, hearing the water still running, she took the phone and opened it.

She had sent a message to Mrs. Sheng earlier but hadn’t received a reply until now. After reading the message from Mrs. Sheng, Tang Yanqi deleted it.

She lowered her head and continued to look at the computer.

Previously, she didn’t think she could go on with Sheng Jianan. She could consider Mrs. Sheng as invisible, as non-existent, and she didn’t care about Mrs. Sheng’s disapproval of her.

But now it was different. She wanted to be with Sheng Jianan and needed to work hard for their future, so she couldn’t ignore Mrs. Sheng’s existence.

She was Sheng Jianan’s mother, the mother of the man she loved. Tang Yanqi wouldn’t, and didn’t want, Sheng Jianan to be caught in the middle. She didn’t want him to choose between her and his mother.

She couldn’t bear to strain their mother-son relationship, and she didn’t want to leave him.

So she arranged to meet Mrs. Sheng, wanting to take back what she had said before, and do her utmost to gain her approval, even if it meant trying and failing.

The next noon, Tang Yanqi and Guo Jingtian took half an hour off and left Shengshi early, taking a taxi to the place arranged to meet Mrs. Sheng.

She had just arrived when Mrs. Sheng also showed up.

Tang Yanqi stood up, politely pulling out a chair for Mrs. Sheng, "Aunt."

Mrs. Sheng glanced at her sideways, sat down, and today she was wearing a small fur coat that made her look even more dignified and elegant.

"Have you thought through the words you previously said to me?"

Mrs. Sheng got straight to the point. Tang Yanqi was silent for two seconds, looked into her eyes with neither arrogance nor humility, "I’m sorry, Aunt, I cannot agree to your request, and I also find myself unable to do what I said before."

"What do you mean?"
