You Tong was stunned, even a little confused. She thought that Rong Chen had never been a strong and domineering person, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that although the brothers of the Rong family had different personalities, they all had the same stubbornness in their bones.
Yes, the same.
"Xiaotong, don't you regard me as a friend?!" Rong Chen asked with burning eyes, his peach blossom eyes that always gave people a feeling of spring breeze, there was a faint anger, but more of it was distressed.
"No." She knew he meant well, but...
"If not, just go to the hospital with me!" Rong Chen showed an ordering tone to her for the first time.
You Tong still shook his head, "It's just a blister, you don't need to go to the hospital, just apply some burn medicine!"
"You Tong! Can you stop being so stubborn and working so hard?!" Rong Chen suddenly became serious, "Isn't it good to be taken care of?!"
take care of?!
You Tong was startled, a little surprised, why did he feel like there was something behind his words?!
But she didn't dare to think about it, so she deliberately misinterpreted it and said with a smile, "If the director wants to take care of me, just go downstairs and buy me a box of burn medicine!"
Rong Chen was suddenly speechless. His once-in-a-century temper was extinguished in an instant. He reluctantly let go of her wrist and smiled weakly, "Just wait, I'll go."
After saying that, he strode out of the tea room and took the elevator downstairs.
You Tong stiffened his hands and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't help but be suspicious, just now... just that moment...
Soon, Rong Chen returned with a box of burn ointment in his hand.
"Here, wipe it quickly." Seeing her embarrassment, he didn't ask to apply the medicine for her.
"Thank you, Director." You Tong said softly, lowered his head to take the ointment, and didn't even dare to look at him.
After applying the medicine, I felt a cold feeling on my hand. It seemed that it was not as burning as before, but I definitely couldn’t do things as easily as usual, and my right hand was still injured!
Looking at the bento, she sighed. I was afraid she wouldn't be able to eat it. She couldn't hold chopsticks with her left hand, and she didn't bring a spoon.
Just as she was thinking about it, Rong Chen came over again and placed a shiny silver spoon in front of her, "I'll lend it to you. Wash it and return it to me after you use it. This is a limited edition, made of the same material as a Swiss Army Knife."
Yes, it’s expensive!”
You Tong laughed out loud and raised her head to stare at him. She knew he was joking, but because of his joke, the discomfort in her heart disappeared.
Rong Chen couldn't help but curl his lips, and muttered with some displeasure, "I've never seen such a stubborn woman like you, be careful not to get married!"
You Tong smiled silently, holding the spoon he gave him in his left hand, lowering his head to eat.
"Look at you, is it that delicious? Why don't you say anything? Make one for me to try tomorrow?!"
She nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Rong Chen was finally satisfied and turned back to his office.
◎◎◎
That night, because her right hand was burned and it was inconvenient to type or write, You Tong did not work overtime for the first time in more than ten days, and she finally had time to meet Zhao Wanhua.
After work, she first took the bus back to Jinling Century's residence, picked up a scarf, and then took a taxi to meet at the agreed place.
You Tong handed the scarf to Zhao Wanhua, feeling a little uneasy, and said softly, "Mom, I bought this for you in Paris. Look, it has a camellia pattern on it, do you like it?!
"
Zhao Wanhua looked at it, nodded and smiled, "I like it. But...this scarf isn't cheap, is it?!"
Zhao Wanhua knew deeply that although the price of this silk scarf was not expensive, it was not cheap for You Tong. It might cost her two months' salary! Over the years, You Tong did not need a penny from her.
I work hard to make money, but I am not willing to buy her such expensive things!
You Tong did not respond, but said implicitly, "As long as mom likes it."
There was a layer of mist in Zhao Wanhua's eyes, "Mom likes it very much, she will definitely wear it."
As if moved, Zhao Wanhua subconsciously went to hold You Tong's hand, but accidentally touched her burned area. You Tong suddenly stiffened and gasped in pain.
"Xiaotong?! What's wrong with your hand?!" Zhao Wanhua looked down and saw a big blister on her hand.
"It's nothing, it's just a bit of a burn." You Tong retracted his hand timidly.
"Have you been to the doctor?!"
"...Look, the ointment was prescribed by the doctor." In order to reassure her mother, You Tong had to tell a small lie.
Zhao Wanhua's concern made You Tong's heart suddenly feel sour, and suddenly it seemed that his hand didn't hurt at all.
The two continued to chat, and when it was almost eight o'clock, Zhao Wanhua suddenly looked at her watch. With just that, You Tong knew that it was time for them to part ways.
The Li family is a well-established and wealthy family with many rules. She understands her mother's difficulties.
"Mom, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early." You Tong said softly, then turned to look out the window, "Is the Li family's driver here?!"
Zhao Wanhua shook her head, "The voyage will pick me up later. A friend of yours, Uncle Li, is coming back from the United States tonight. We will pick him up at the airport together later."
"Oh." You Tong nodded, but was slightly startled in his heart, Li Yuanhang is coming?!
Just as he was thinking about it, there were footsteps at the door of the box, and then a polite knock on the door. Li Yuanhang gently opened the door. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was still so elegant and handsome.
"Aunt Wan, Xiaotong." He greeted softly.
You Tong frowned slightly, why did he call her Xiaotong again?!
Li Yuanhang glanced at her, slightly curved his lips, "Long time no see."
You Tong opened his eyes, looked unyielding, nodded slightly, and replied lightly, "Hello, Master Li."
Li Yuanhang smiled lightly and said nothing.
The three people walked out of the box one after another, and when they were going down the stairs, Zhao Wanhua suddenly warned, "Xiaotong, please be careful not to hold on to the handrail to avoid touching the wound."
