Step In Dangerous Love - Chapter 59

Chapter 59  We are actually a fake couple
His hot palm clung to her waist merely through a layer of cloth. His sudden behavior let turn stiff at once.
His warm breath wrapped her ears--- her whole body trembled and a strangeitchy feeling surged out from the inside of her bones.
"Stop kidding, we're just a fake couple." Tang Anran pushed his hand away with a stiff smile on her face.
She didn't think Gu Wuyang would be really into her, so she just took it as his joke.
Seeing his confession rejected directly by her, Gu Wuyang was somewhat uncomfortable, but didn't want to push her too hard, so he laughed without carrying on the topic.
Shortly after they stayed with Xiaohang to have lunch in the ward, Director Chen came back from his business.
When Xiaohang saw Director Chen, his thin body obviously moved to Tang Anran, his look somewhat strange.
Compared with the Director who he had known for five years, Xiaohang seemed to rely more on Tang Anran and Gu Wuyang that he had only known for only half a day.
"Senior Officer Gu, Mrs. Gu, Xiaohang is awake now. I will arrange for someone to take care of him, so you don't have to worry about it." Director Chen pushed his glasses, still with a mild smile on his face.
Somehow, Tang Anran was actually unwilling to leave like this, but she really did not have a sound reason to stay now.
Xiaohang, have a good rest. Auntie will come to see you tomorrow." Tang Anran smiled and patted Xiaohan' head with a gentle look.
Xiaohang's fingers grabbed Tang Anran's clothes lightly with his mouth slightly open, as if he had something to say to her.
"Unfortunately, before Xiaohang could speak, Director Chen, standing beside him, suddenly shouted his name: "Xiaohang."
The voice sounded nothing unusual, but Xiaohang immediately let go of Tang Anran's\ clothes.
He lowered his head slightly and muffled his voice, saying goodbye to them, "Good-bye, uncle and aunt."
Xiaohang's reaction was all caught in the eyes of Gu Wuyang. He frowned at the Director Chen beside him with his doubts mounting up, but he said nothing.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Wuyang looked at his watch, and it was already after one o'clock in the afternoon.
It was too late to go to the destination at this time, and Tang Anran was in a bad mood now, so he could only suspend the plan and drove back home instead.
Tang Anran was very quiet all the way, because all she was thinking about was the reaction of Xiaohang just now.
In the intersection of waiting for the traffic lights, Tang Anran couldn't help turning her head to Gu Wuyang, "Don't you feel that Xiaohang seemed quite scared of Director Chen?"
When Gu Wuyang heard her question, he nodded softly: "Don't worry too much. I've sent someone to dig into this matter, and it should be clear soon."
"Tang Anran didn't realize that Gu Wuyang would have acted on this so fast. After stunned for a while, she thanked him gratefully. "Thank you very much today."
"As I told you, you don't need to be so polite to me." Gu Wuyang looked sideways at Tang Anran. "But I'm a bit curious. Why do you react so much to this today?"
In fact, he wanted to ask this question at the very beginning, but he had been unable to find the right timing, and now there were only two of them left, so he just couldn't help asking it.
Honestly speaking, he and Xu Anron had known each other for relatively a long time, but he did not know that she had such kindness and love.
Setting up a foundation, and now being so concerned about a strange child which were not like what Tang Anran would do.
Although he had long suspected that there was something wrong with Tang Anron, he still had not found anything to prove that for such a long time. Was Tang Anron hiding it too deeply or was his investigation not enough?
"Did I?" Tang Anron did not expect Gu Wuyang to suddenly ask this question, so her body tightened up right away and even dared not deny it, "Maybe because I like children very much, and such things happen in front of me, I cannot just sit there doing nothing about it."
Of course, Gu Wuyang felt Tang Anran's nervousness. He stared at Tang Anran for a few seconds. Right at that moment, the red light turned green. The car in front of him had already left, and the car behind him began horning to urge him.
"Well, after you clock out tomorrow, let's see Xiaohang again." Gu Wuyang took back his staring and replied to her in a low voice as he drove, without further questioning her.
Seeing that Gu's attention seemed to have been diverted by her, Tang Anran could not but loosen up.
She always felt that if she kept staying by his side, sooner or later, she would betray her intentions. Now what she could do was working harder to improve her abilities as fast as possible, so that she could leave Yangcheng city early and return to revenge.
At eight o'clock in the next morning, Tang Anran arrived at the company on time.
Just when she sat down on her seat, Wang Xudong suddenly came over smiling and put a cup of milk tea on her desk. "Anran, the milk tea of this shop is very delicious. On the way to work, I bought you a cup. Have a taste."
Tang Anran did not forget what happened last week. She was embarrassed before and did not know how to get along with Wang Xudong, but now she was relieved after seeing his natural appearance.
Tang Anran intended to refuse it, but looking at the smile on Wang Xudong's face, it was really hard for her to say no.
"Thank you, Manager." After appreciating him, Tang Anran put milk tea aside and did not intend to drink it.
"Manager, if my memory doesn't fail me, this milk tea shop is in the east of the city and your home is in the west." A female employee sitting next to Tang Anran turned her head and leaned over. "They are in opposite directions. How did Manager Wang pass by?"
Hearing the teasing of that female employee, Wang Xudong did not stop her, but looked at Tang Anran saying with an ambiguous emotion, "As long as it's for Anran, no matter how far it is, it's always on my way."
Once Wang Xudong's words were uttered, there was a roaring boo around them.
Listening to these booing, her face turned gloomy with her eyebrows wrinkled.
She did not like the atmosphere very much, and her identity had already been exposed. Everyone here knew that she was married. Her husband was the commander of the Military Region in Yangcheng city. Why did they make such a fuss?
"Thank you, Manager, but please don't say such misleading things any longer." Tang Anran stood up and pushed the milk tea back into Wang Xudong's hand. "My husband will buy it for me if I want it, no necessary to bring you troubles."
After these words, Tang Anran picked up the cup on the table and walked towards the tea room, not giving a shit about how bad Wang Xudong looked behind her.
When the employees who were still making a fuss just now heard Tang Anran's words, they were all reminded of her identity and immediately silenced and went back to their seats for work.
Wang Xudong was still standing next to Tang Anran's seat with a rather terrible look on his face.
Tang Anran's remarks were all hitting him in the face, not saving him any grace, and his heart was certainly filled with rage and fury.
But Wang Xudong eventually adjusted his mood soon and changed his grim face into a brilliant smile.
"Then here's a cup of milk tea for you." Wang Xudong smiled and put milk tea on the table of a female employee next to him, then turned back to his office.
Wang Xudong still talked to Tang Anran from time to time during that whole day, as if nothing had happened in the morning.
Though there were barriers in Tang Anran's heart, but after all, Wang Xudong was now her boss, and they two still had a lot to communicate about work, so she simply could not refuse to talk with him.
So in the end, she could only hold the discomfort in her heart and spent a day with Wang Xudong.
Before knocking off, Gu Wuyang sent her a short message saying that he would come to pick her up later, and then went to the hospital to see Xiaohang together.
She was supposed to refuse him and grabbed a cab to the hospital, but he insisted on driving her to the hospital himself. Finally, she could only compromise.
The thought of seeing Xiaohang in another hour made Tang feel better after a dull day, and she immediately quickened her pace to deal with the work at hand.
At 5:30, Tang Anran punched out.
Standing at the door of Xu's Group Building, Tang Anran looked around and lookdc for the car of Gu Wuyang, but after searching twice she still did not see his green SUV.
Just as she was about to call Gu Wuzheng, the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang and she took it out. It was Gu Wuzheng calling.
No sooner had the phone been answered than Gu Wuzheng immediately explained, "Sorry, there is some traffic jam on the road. It should flow soon. You can go back to the company and sit for a while."
"Don't worry, drive slowly." Tang Anran nodded and answered, and then reminded Gu to be take care before hanging up the phone.
Considering that he should be here soon, Tang Anran did not intend to enter the company again, but stood on the doorstep waiting for him.
But before Gu Wuyang turned up, a little girl in a flowery skirt suddenly came up to her.
The little girl was holding a lollipop in one hand and tugging at the hem of her dress with the other hand. She looked up at Tang An-ran and said, "Pretty sister, there's an aunt waiting for you over there."
"For me?" Tang Anran was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Do you know what that aunt's name is?"
"I don't know. The aunt said that there was something very important to talk to you. It has something to do with Gu something." The little girl licked the lollipop and said vaguely.
Hearing the little girl's words, Tang Anran first thought that this matter had something to do with Gu Wuyang, but who was the aunt she said?
Tang Anran followed the direction she had just pointed at. It was an alley where many people came and went, but she did not see the aunt the girl mentioned.
She thought it might be someone who was doing a prank, but she also worried that it really mattered.
Standing there hesitating for about two minutes, Tang Anran took out her mobile phone and sent a short message to Gu Wuyang, briefing the matter to him. Then she stooped down and patted the girl's head. "My little friend, can you take me to find that aunt?"
"Sure." The little girl smiled sweetly at her, then took Tang Anran's hand, leading her to the lane.
After going through the lane, the little girl kept on walking until she reached the door of a bungalow and finally stopped.
"The aunt is inside. My mission is done. Good bye, pretty sister." The little girl laughed and waved to Tang Anran, then with a lollipop, she skipped out of the lane.
Tang Anron looked around and saw that in this area were those houses that were about to be demolished. Most of the houses around were dilapidated and there were only two or three people on the narrow road.
After seeing the surroundings clearly, Tang Anran then set her eyes on the bungalow in front of her.
She was still thinking about who would live in it before she saw the door that had been closed suddenly opened and a figure appeared in front of her.
Then a sarcastic voice followed, "Tang Anran, I thought you dared not come."
