He was placating Mr. Fang on the surface, but his eyes kept glancing over at Fangtang. He couldn’t help but smile whenever he saw her.
“Sugar, sugar,” he pondered the name in his mind. No wonder she was called Sugar, she just looked so sweet.
Father Fang was truly drunk. After a short while of happiness, he leaned against the sofa and fell asleep. Mother Fang was in the kitchen tidying up.
The living room instantly fell silent, with only the sound of Father Fang’s breathing and the clattering from the kitchen mixing together.
Only then did Xu ZeFang have time to spare, quietly looking at Fang Tang, with a seriousness he hadn’t shown before. When he looked at people like this in silence, he added a few points of composure.
Sugar felt uncomfortable under his gaze and changed the subject: “Did you call someone to pick you up, or should I help you call a ride-sharing service?”
Xu ZeFang evaded the question: “Tangtang, think about my proposal before. I can’t guarantee what will happen in the future, but at least I won’t mistreat you.”
Xu ZeFang’s words this time were, surprisingly, much more sincere and earnest than last time.
Fang Tang refused very bluntly: “Don’t even consider it, we can’t. I’m just an ordinary girl who wants to live an ordinary life, not be kept, and not be a mistress.”
In all their encounters, Fang Tang’s stance has been quite clear. However, Xu ZeFang is a person who only listens to his own decisions and doesn’t give others a chance to object.
He’s the best at being persistent.
Xu Zefang heard her words and said, “You women are always so easily moved. Oh, when a man is poor, you accompany him through hardship, that’s love; when he has money to buy you a car and a house and let you live a good life, it’s called being kept?”
He didn’t hear Fangtang say the words “little three” at all. Even if he had, since it was completely unrelated to him, he would have automatically ignored it.
Sugar, he’s not making any sense! We’re not even talking about the same thing.
Just as I was about to say something else, Fang Ma came out of the kitchen after washing up and said enthusiastically, “Xiao Xu will be staying in the guest room tonight. I’ll go tidy it up for you.”
Xu Zefang this time was still a personal, said: “No need, I called the driver to pick me up.”
Fang Ma just said it politely. Upon hearing his words, she didn’t keep him any longer and instructed Fang Tang: “Tangtang, go see him off.”
Fāng tāng had no choice but to deliver it again, but as soon as she reached the door of her unit, Xú Zé fǎng stopped her: “It’s too late. Don’t send me anymore, just go back.”
Xu Ze Fang couldn’t help teasing again: “Maybe you could go to the hotel with me.”
The candy sugar, vexed, turned and went upstairs.
This is already his biggest concession, the lowest he’s ever been.
There’s no way around it, my heart is hooked, itching and I can’t sleep at night.
And the sugar cube only had the helplessness of a scholar encountering a soldier. He said helplessly, “You should look for someone else, there are plenty who are better than me.”
Then, she flung his hand away and ran up the stairs.
Xu ZeFang has a tenacious personality, he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
He still picks up and drops off Gu Yujie on time every day, but Fangtang doesn’t come out to greet him anymore. Instead, another teacher from the same class comes to the door to pick him up, so Xu Ze fang hasn’t seen her for several days.
<<>>
Lu Yaoyao, being a very intelligent person, seeing this, asked, “Does Teacher Fang ignore you?”
Xu ZeFang was surprised: “Sister-in-law knows her?”
Lu Yao Yao let out a chuckle, but didn’t say anything.
He picks up and drops off Gu Yujie every day, and their conversations have shifted from toys and games in the past to…
“Why isn’t Teacher Fang picking you up and dropping you off anymore?”
What did Teacher Fang do today?
“Has Teacher Fang eaten yet?”
“What hairstyle did Teacher Fang have today?”
The problem is getting ridiculous, Gu Yujie is a little annoyed and tells his mother: “Dayang keeps asking Ms. Fang Tang every day. He likes Ms. Fang so much, why doesn’t he just go to our class?”
Needless to say, the housekeeper had already told YaoYao that Dafang was chasing after Gu YuJie’s teacher.
Although Lu Yaoyao had never met Fangtang, she would log into the kindergarten monitor in her free time to check on Yu Jie’s performance at school, so she could see the teacher named Fangtang almost every day.
“When we were eating, I said to him, ‘Ms. Fangtang is a serious girl. If you’re not sincere and just want to play around, don’t bother her.'”
Dàfàng was dissatisfied and said, “My sister-in-law has prejudice against me. I’m a decent person too.”
Lu Yao smiled dismissively again: “You’re not even as serious as Gu Ruandong.”
Unintentionally caught in the crossfire, Gu Ruandong put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a smile: “Oh? Where have I been unprofessional?”
This tone, this expression, where’s the seriousness?
Xu Ze Fang wore an expression as if he had been abused, and gave Gu Yu Jie a knowing glance. The big and small pair were very taciturn, ready to leave the scene.
“Sit down.” Lu Yaoyao called out, and the big and small had to sit down again. Gu Yujie started eating the unfinished meal from before.
Lu Yaoyao watched him eat while saying, “That’s not the right way to pursue a girl.”
Xu Ze Fang did indeed lack any experience, but he was honest: “Please teach me, sister-in-law.”
Lu YaoYao, however, looked at Gu Ruandong: “You make him teach.”
Gu Ruandong smiled, not intending to speak, letting her talk.
Xu Ze Fang retorted, “Young Master Gu doesn’t need to pursue girls, he just stands there and attracts swarms of them. A bunch of girls flock to him.”
In one sentence, she offended both Gu Ruandong and Lu Yaoyao.
Lu YaoYao: “You’ll just stay single for the rest of your life based on that?”
I can’t and won’t help.
Xu Ze Fang hadn’t seen Fang Tang for a whole week. On Friday evening, he could only wait at the kindergarten gate like before, hoping to see her off work.
This week, Fan Tang has had another teacher in her class take care of picking up and dropping off the children. She leaves from the back kitchen storage room door of the kindergarten every day after work, trying to avoid any contact with Xu Ze Fang.
On Friday evening, she was on duty and didn’t get off work until around 8 p.m. The back kitchen warehouse door was locked, so she had to go out the front door.
She walked out of school and didn’t see Xu ZeFang’s car, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked towards the subway station. Unexpectedly, at the steps leading to the subway station, she saw Xu ZeFang standing there with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone, looking bored and restless, not knowing how long he had been waiting.
The moment he saw Tang, he remained motionless, just staring at her with a hint of a smile playing on his lips. It softened his entire appearance considerably.
The sugar cube was a little hesitant, retreating wasn’t suitable, but entering the subway station, she feared he would follow in and cause a scene like last time.
Xu ZeFang looked at her expression, a little disheartened. A week apart, and this was how she treated him? He had missed her all week.
Seeing her standing there motionless, he strode over in three quick steps, grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the subway.
He came prepared this time, having his assistant download a mobile payment app and familiarize himself with the operation process.
