171. The position next to me is where you should be
After Mu Xinyan blinked her eyes, she sat down and ate the last bite of gruel into her mouth.
Tan Mingtao had just finished eating, put down the spoon in his hand, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, looked at Mu Xinyan, quietly observed for a while, and then said to her: "Xin'er, but pushed my wheelchair over." ”
Mu Xinyan raised her eyes and looked at him with an indifferent expression: "What do you want a wheelchair for?" ”
"Don't ask so much, just go and get it." Tan Mingtao's slender jade-white fingers rested lightly on the tabletop, and his fingertips tapped on it, as if he was playing the piano wantonly, with an elegant posture.
"Okay." Mu Xinyan didn't ask any more questions and got up from the chair.
She went to the room on the ground floor and pushed out the wheelchair inside, since he started training, he hadn't been in a wheelchair, even if it was difficult to walk, even if he was sweating profusely, until he was exhausted, even if he fell to the ground, he didn't sit again, and he didn't say a word, plus hard training, Tan Mingtao recovered faster than usual, after all, he used to be a soldier, with an iron will, some more than ordinary people's persistence.
He treats himself very strictly, sometimes Mu Xinyan asks him to stop training, and she is about to cry when she sees it, but he still doesn't give up and keeps going. She didn't understand that he would let her push the wheelchair out when he had abandoned it for a long time, did she want to sit on it?
Mu Xinyan pushed the wheelchair out and came to the restaurant, Tan Mingtao smiled at her: "Let me enjoy the feeling of being in a wheelchair again today, you have to cooperate with me well, say what you should say, and do what you should do." Then his eyes looked at Aunt Li again, "And Aunt Li, you also have to cooperate." ”
"Yes, Si Shao (brother)." Both nodded. Although some did not understand what he was going to do.
"Okay, come, Xin'er, help me in my wheelchair and work as hard as before." Tan Mingtao reached out and patted the seat of the wheelchair.
At this time, there was the sound of crisp high heels hitting the smooth floor tiles, and Ren Ruping and Guan Yiyao appeared in their sight. Ren Ruping smiled and looked at Tan Mingtao, who was sitting at the table, and then swept over Mu Xinyan, who was holding a wheelchair beside him, with a hint of suppressed contempt in her eyes. Guan Yiyao was a little evasive, looked away, and some didn't dare to look directly at Tan Mingtao. There was a fear in his eyes that she didn't dare to face it, she was afraid that too much contact with him would remind him of the bad things in the past. She was afraid that if he had remembered, he would never have spoken to her so calmly, for she had almost killed him, and no one would be kind to his enemies, except fools.
Mu Xinyan and Tan Mingtao did not ignore the contempt in Ren Ruping's eyes just now, which made Tan Mingtao very unhappy, his face was pale, and he did not show much welcome to them.
"Why are Auntie and Yao'er here?" Tan Mingtao mentioned to them more politeness to guests, as well as alienation.
"Yao'er is your fiancée, she should take care of you, not to mention that she came to see you. Yao'er is very concerned, but she has been busy with work recently, so she postponed the time to come to see you, and I, naturally, came with her, the two of you have been apart for so long, you should also talk together and talk about the future or something. Ren Ruping showed the identity of Guan Yiyao as Tan Mingtao's "fiancée", just to remind Tan Mingtao, and even more so that Mu Xinyan could correct her position after hearing it.
"I think it's better to wait until there are such conditions to talk about this, but if you talk about it now, I think it's too far and it's not practical." Tan Mingtao said to Mu Xinyan, "Help me to sit in a wheelchair." ”
Mu Xinyan ignored Ren Ruping's contempt for her, and reached out to help Mingtao, but Ren Ruping stopped her by speaking out: "Fourth, should Yao'er do such a thing, after all, she has taken care of you for so long, she will do all this, and she can do it better." ”
"I believe that Yao'er will do no badly, but Xin'er is a professional doctor, and she takes care of me all these times, and I am used to it. You don't have to trouble Yao'er. Tan Mingtao refused, "You guys go to the living room and sit down first." I'll be right away. ”
Then Tan Mingtao sat in the wheelchair under the help of Mu Xinyan, and then Ren Muxinyan pushed it into the living room, Ren Ruping and Guan Yiyao had already sat down and put the gift box in their hands on the coffee table. Ren Ruping tapped Guan Yiyao with her elbow and asked her to speak.
"These are gifts that my mother and I personally selected for you, fourth brother, I hope you like it." Guan Yiyao's words were soft and soft.
"You're welcome." Tan Mingtao smiled lightly, and then he said to Aunt Li who was wiping the table, "Aunt Li makes some tea, there is only tea at home." ”
"Yes, four less." Aunt Li nodded.
"Isn't Aunt Li busy?" Ren Ruping looked at Aunt Li, and then her eyes fell on Mu Xinyan, who had been standing quietly behind Tan Mingtao, "Isn't Miss Mu fine?" Let her go make tea. Don't bother Aunt Li. ”
This was said as if the master was making his own maid as comfortable, and when Mu Xinyan heard this, she was shocked and raised her eyes to look at Ren Ruping, who was smiling, as if she had heard an alien speak.
Although Tan Mingtao's face remained gentle, there were already angry frost flowers floating at the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes were dark as night. The corners of his lips were also slightly pursed, and the hand holding the armrest of the wheelchair was tightly grasped.
"Miss Mu, what are you doing in a daze? Didn't you hear what I said? Don't you know how to make tea as simple as this? I wonder how you can take care of the fourth? Ren Ruping is very mindful of Mu Xinyan's expectation of being by Tan Mingtao's side, after all, Tan Mingtao is now a normal man, and she is a single woman with a decent appearance, for Tan Mingtao, who has not been close to women for a long time, it is dangerous for them to get along intimately for a long time.
This made Ren Ruping very uneasy. In addition, Guan Yiyao has not been with Tan Mingtao for a long time, and the relationship between them will be unfamiliar, which will also affect their relationship.
"Okay." Mu Xinyan had no choice but to nod, for the sake of Tan Mingtao's guest's face, she still endured it. is nothing more than to remind her that they are the same master as Tan Mingtao, and she is employed by the Tan family, and the person invited with the money is naturally inferior to the master, to put it bluntly, she has the same status as a servant.
Tan Mingtao stopped her at this time, and said in a loud voice: "Xin'er, you are allowed to go anywhere, and the position next to me is where you should be." ”
Ren Ruping and Guan Yiyao both raised their eyes to look at Tan Mingtao, a little surprised that he said something peaceful. And Mu Xinyan stopped turning around and leaving, and her heart was warm because of what he said.
"Fourth, what are you ......" Ren Ruping frowned unhappily.
"Auntie, Xin'er is a professional doctor hired by Lao Qi for me, her job is just to help me train and recover to a normal person, not to come here to pour tea, if she is just invited to pour tea, then there is no need to spend so much money." Tan Mingtao explained, but it pushed Mu Xinyan's position to a height, "In my heart, she is my life-saving benefactor, and her kindness is greater than heaven, how can she be committed to pouring tea for me." You say yes, right? ”
Ren Ruping pursed her lips, and it was not easy to refute, after all, Tan Mingtao really woke up under Mu Xinyan's careful care, so Mu Xinyan is the person to whom the whole Tan family should be thanked the most, and Tan Mingtao is a benefactor.
"It's not that Aunt Li is not available, so she just let Miss Mu make some tea casually, you see that Miss Mu has no opinion, why do you care so much?" Ren Ruping felt that it didn't matter, but from Tan Mingtao's attitude, it could be seen that he attached more importance to Mu Xinyan.
"You told her to make tea, based on the fact that you are an elder, she respects the old and loves the young, so how can she refuse you. Auntie, isn't Yao'er also idle? Your eldest brother told her to go to the bubble, and as your daughter and my fiancée, wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to do this? Tan Mingtao looked at Guan Yiyao with a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, but coldness.
After Guan Yiyao received such a signal, she glanced at Ren Ruping: "Mom, let me make tea." I am familiar with the appetite of the fourth brother, and it is also appropriate for me to do it. ”
Then she got up and headed in the direction of the kitchen.
Now, she will follow Tan Mingtao's intentions, and be gentle and generous, and don't stimulate him, maybe he won't remember the past, maybe he will also see that he is gentle and embarrassed, and he will not hold a grudge against her so much. Her heart now seemed to be taken from her chest by him at any moment.
And Ren Ruping also cooperated with her daughter: "I really do, Yao'er should do this thing, so as to show the thoughtfulness and affection of the husband and wife between you." ”
Tan Mingtao just raised the corners of his lips, he actually wanted to insult Mu Xinyan with this, he would never let them bully and sit idly by, and he would never let her suffer the slightest grievance, as long as he was by her side, he would protect her. It was his determination and decision.
Guan Yiyao had already made four cups of tea from the kitchen at this time, one for her mother, one for Tan Mingtao, one for Mu Xinyan, and one for herself: "Miss Mu, this is made for you, drinking more tea is beneficial." ”
"Miss Guan, you have a heart." Mu Xinyan naturally wants to thank her, the superficial work must be done well, no matter how much she doesn't like Guan Yiyao, but she can't come out in public, "Thank you." ”
"Fourth, you see how virtuous and generous Yao'er is." Ren Ruping picked up the teacup, "Take care of you when you are sick, wait without abandonment, and after you get better, you are also considerate that you don't want to be disturbed and endure lovesickness, and you are also generous to others, where do you find such a good wife as Yao'er, don't you?" You see that you and Yao'er haven't been together for so long, and only the three of you are strangely lonely in this villa, I think Yao'er will move over to take care of your diet and daily life. Then she glanced at Mu Xinyan again, "And there are some special things that you have some personal things that can't trouble Miss Mu, Yao'er and you are husband and wife, but there is no zài here, right?" So, it's the wisest choice to let Yao'er come over. Not only can you deepen the relationship between you, but it can be used as a trial marriage before marriage, and there will not be so many conflicts after marriage in the future. ”
Pre-nuptial trial?
"Mom......" Guan Yiyao looked at Tan Mingtao's calm face and gently tugged at her mother, "Where did you go?" You still have to respect the opinion of the fourth brother in this matter, you can't make decisions arbitrarily. ”
Ren Ruping stretched out her finger and tapped her daughter's forehead: "The fourth child needs your thoughtfulness now, how can you be so withdrawn." ”
"I'm not afraid that the fourth brother will be angry." Guan Yiyao is also afraid of talking about Mingtao with deep eyes every day and being stunned, with him, there is no peace in the past, more uneasiness, fear, an invisible oppression that overwhelms her.
Sometimes she hopes that some pain will come sooner, whether it is life or death, to give her a clear statement, she doesn't want to live in fear every day like now, accept the torment and delay of this painful torture, which is more painful than death, and she can't die.
And she didn't know that what Tan Mingtao wanted was such an effect, which caused her mental torture, which was more painful than physical torture. The knife that was inflicted on her was regarded as freeing her from pain, and such endless and boundless torture was the most painful.
"How can the fourth child be angry, silly girl, if you want to stay here, just say it to the fourth." Ren Ruping smiled, "The fourth child may want you to stay." ”
Tan Mingtao smiled faintly and looked at Guan Yiyao: "Yao'er has worked hard for so long, Auntie should let her live a relaxed life." And I'm in a bad state right now, I'm afraid it's going to make it harder. ”
Ren Ruping looked at Tan Mingtao: "I heard your mother say that you are doing well." ”
"It's good, but the day before yesterday I fell down the stairs, you see I'm not in a wheelchair again and can't behave, I'm afraid this training will also have to stop, and I will rest for a while, it is impossible to get better as originally planned." Tan Mingtao looked at Guan Yiyao again, "Anyway, it's a great blessing for me to wake up, I don't want to be all good, but I wronged Yao'er to follow me, if I sit in a wheelchair all my life, how can I give her happiness, so today I will sue you here, if you have any opinions, you can put them forward to me, Yao'er is still young and beautiful, leaving me as a waste, she will have a better choice, so you all think about it carefully, if you are together in the future, you can no longer regret it, Because I've already given you a chance to think about it. ”
Tan Mingtao's face was not red or panting when he lied, and he couldn't see his thoughts at all, but Ren Ruping and Guan Yiyao both glanced at him, what the hell was going on? Not being able to recover is still a problem.
"Fourth, why are you so careless, but you have to recuperate, Yao'er and I won't bother you today, let's go back first." I'll see you later. Ren Ruping didn't sit anymore, and then pulled Guan Yiyao up and left.
"Fourth brother, goodbye." Guan Yiyao was still very polite and polite before leaving, such a gentle and decent lady really couldn't tell that it would be a femme fatale who wanted to talk about Mingtao who had been dying.
