Chapter 775
Chapter 775: Chapter 767: Putting Out Another Fire Chapter 775: Chapter 767: Putting Out Another Fire Gu Ning once again took the documents from Tang Yuxin’s hands.
They were all upside down, which suggested she probably hadn’t read them at all.
“We’re not enemies, no need to be like this.”
Gu Ning actually found this both funny and helpless.
There, Tang Zhijun had to ask him to come and save the day.
When Yuxin was in a good mood, she was very lovely, but when she was stubborn, she was extremely so.
They were all afraid she might brood over something and go down a rabbit hole, leading to trouble.
Tang Yuxin huffed and took off her white coat, getting ready to eat.
“What would you like to eat?” Gu Ning pinched her face.
“Don’t be so serious, give me a smile.”
Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but smile, but she was still able to eat.
Gu Ning found a place that was rather quiet.
It was perfect for dining and for talking, and of course, it was particularly suitable for calming someone who was on the edge, to avoid an explosion that would leave everything and everyone in pieces.
“Tastes good?” Gu Ning asked, as he served Tang Yuxin some more dishes.

“I stumbled upon this place.
The chef’s skills are quite good, and some dishes taste like the ones from your hometown.”
“Yeah, it does resemble it,” Tang Yuxin found comfort in anything that had the flavor of Qing’an.
Her anger subsided, and indeed, it did have a taste of her hometown.
Not bad, she noted this place.
“If it’s good, eat more,” Gu Ning added more dishes to Tang Yuxin’s plate.
She wasn’t picky, eating whatever Gu Ning served her, even things she usually disliked, she still enjoyed them.
“Alright, had enough of being angry?” After finishing their meal and ordering a pot of tea, with their stomachs full and mood improved, they were not angry anymore.
“Was I angry?” Tang Yuxin couldn’t understand.
Where did she appear angry?
It was her sister, not her daughter.
Even the biological parents hadn’t said anything, so as an older sister at best, she was an outsider who couldn’t control them.
Moreover, whether to marry or not was Sisi’s own affair; she couldn’t just remain unmarried because her older sister objected.
“And you say you weren’t angry?” Gu Ning chuckled as he adjusted Tang Yuxin’s hair.
“Whenever you get angry, your hairstyle becomes a mess.”
“Really?”
Tang Yuxin quickly took out her bag and pulled out her little mirror to inspect her hair for quite some time.
It seemed to be true, which explained why Gu Ning always knew when she was upset.
It wasn’t because they were in tune with each other’s feelings, but because her hairstyle gave her away.
She pressed down her hair and then asked Gu Ning if it looked better now.
She didn’t care much about other things, but she did about her hair.
It had to be well-groomed; perhaps it was because during the six months she was abducted, her hair had been in terrible condition.
For a long time afterward, it looked as if it had been gnawed on by a dog, so once it grew out, she paid extra attention to it.
She would lavish her hair with various shampoos and conditioners, always making sure it smelled nice and was smooth.
If anyone asked for her opinion on hairstyles, she would certainly say,
My head could be broken, blood might flow, but my hairstyle must absolutely remain intact.
“Let me see,” Gu Ning adjusted her hair again and then nodded with satisfaction.
“Much prettier now.”
“You think so, don’t you, Zitan?”
Gu Ning and Wang Zitan were acquainted.
Later on, when Zhang Xiangcao became Wang Zitan’s aunt, the relationship between the two families grew even closer, and as time went on, it got closer still.

Gu Ning gave Wang Zitan a meaningful look while he was speaking.
“Hmm,” Wang Zitan put down his cup, “it looks quite good.”
Tang Yuxin glanced at Wang Zitan and couldn’t find any insincerity in his eyes.
Although she was still not fond of him, her expression softened, and there was no longer the sharp antagonism of before.
She had always warned herself to be wary of older men, and indeed, she needed to be cautious around them.
“Feeling better?” Gu Ning pressed down her hair again, which was no longer standing on end, suggesting her mood might have improved, right?
“It’s okay,” Tang Yuxin felt a bit of anger dissipate, but there was still plenty left.
How to resolve the rest could only be left to time, she supposed.
Now, the old man had whisked Tang Sisi away, and they even had a cub.
What could she do but accept the reality and the circumstances?
“It’s good we don’t have a daughter.
If an old man snatched her away, I’d have to sever his wolf head.”
Gu Ning touched his forehead and held back his laughter.
Yes, it was fortunate they didn’t have a daughter.
If they did, he would have to be cautious not just about other men but also those around him.
However, he really did want a little girl—tiny, soft, who would wear dresses and have her hair tied up.
How nice that would be.
But all he could do was think about it.
Others had one child, but they already had two, which was already a great advantage.
So, it’s better to be content.
But still, it wasn’t too bad; at least his brother had a little cotton-padded jacket, and he could indulge in his daughter-fix often enough.
Tang Yuxin’s anger came quickly, and seemingly, it also dissipated even faster.
Maybe she had truly come to terms with her fate.
If she didn’t, what could she do?
It was more than just rice cooked into porridge; it was all soaked into a sloppy mess.
“Sister, are you not angry anymore?” Tang Sisi took Tang Yuxin’s hand and shook it.
She was genuinely afraid of her sister being mad.
If her sister were to stay angry with her for life, what would she do?
She wouldn’t be able to find any peace.
Tang Yuxin withdrew her arm, not too eager to interact, but her face had eased up.
Of course, the low atmosphere she had created had vanished, and once more, the hospital returned to calm.
“Are old men really that good?”
Tang Yuxin pulled up a chair and sat in front of Tang Sisi.
She really couldn’t understand—these guys were so sought after that none of them wanted the younger ones, only the old.
“No,” Tang Sisi didn’t think old men were that great.
In fact, she still liked the younger ones.
Besides, Wang Zitan was truly not old at all; he was not the slightest bit old.
“Then why do you like old men?” Tang Yuxin propped her face with her hand.
“Do old men have charm?”
“It’s not that,” Tang Sisi shook her head again.
Well, how should she put it?
Maybe she had found someone suitable.
If the person was not suitable, even if they were younger, they wouldn’t end up together.
It could only be said that they had met each other at the right time.
Was age important then?
Besides, the age difference between them wasn’t actually much.
Wang Zitan was only nine years older than her—was nine years a lot?
It seemed like her brother-in-law, Gu Ning, was also five years older than her sister.
If you add four more years to those five, it’s really not much different.
