After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 9: I’ll Give You a Fair Chance

The hand resting on her waist was clenched tightly. His force was domineering, leaving no room for refusal.

Tang Xi struggled a bit, trying to break free.

Then Fu Tingzhou slightly lowered his head, his cold and hoarse voice pressed against her ear, "If you don't want to draw too much attention, just dance obediently until the end."

The dance music continued, and leaving abruptly would indeed attract attention.

At the same time, a jealous gaze was directed at her. Tang Xi looked over and saw a woman with a pink fox mask.

At this moment, Su Mengshu, upon seeing Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi dancing, wished she could crush her silver teeth in envy.

Suddenly being too close to him, Tang Xi uncomfortable lowered her head, "I'm not very good at dancing."

The man looked at the tips of her slightly red ears, gentle and soft; a darkness flickered in his eyes.

Then, she noticed that Fu Tingzhou had adjusted his steps a lot to match hers.

But still, she accidentally stepped on his foot.

"Sorry," she said instinctively, her voice soft, like a kitten brushed by his ear, the sound tickling him, making him feel the air around him a bit stifling.

Fu Tingzhou looked down and saw the woman's smooth and fair neck, which under the dim light, was even more dazzling.

As soon as the music ended, Tang Xi listened to the tail of the tune, ready to leave immediately.

But she heard Fu Tingzhou's voice.

The man's thin lips slightly pursed, "Tang Xi, dance one more song with me, and I'll give you a fair deal."

His hand hooked around her waist, firmly not letting go.

Beneath the black mask, the man's eyes hid surging tides, looking at the woman in his arms like a predator eying its prey.

The sound of music surrounded the ears.

If Tang Xi hadn't seen the man's lips move, she would have thought she was hearing things.

A fair deal?

What fair deal?

She neither nodded nor shook her head, because this banquet didn't give her a chance to answer; a few seconds after the music ended, the light brightened, and the banquet hall's chandeliers shined splendidly.

The ball had ended!

In the brightly lit ballroom with shining chandeliers, she pushed away the man in front of her and left the dance floor without looking back.

Fu Tingzhou watched the woman's hasty departure, a flicker of darkness crossing the depth of his eyes.

On the other side, Qiao Jing watched Cheng Yunlang rush toward Tang Xi's retreating figure, biting her lip, wanting to follow, but she was held back by a hand. Qiao Jing looked at the man who appeared beside her, "Xiao Chi, why does Yun Lang like that woman? Her family is so poor, what is there for brother Yun Lang to like about her!"

Standing next to her, the young and handsome man in a black suit furrowed his brows, "Jingjing, since he has someone he likes, you should let go..."

"I've liked him for so long... I'm his fiancée... No, I must make that woman suffer! Brother Yun Lang is mine!" No one shall snatch him away from her.

The next day, Tang Xi went to the styling studio to return the white dress she wore the day before, and was told that Cheng Yunlang had already paid for it.

Carrying the dress, she arrived at the amusement park, not expecting Cheng Yunlang to be there as well.

Cheng Yunlang walked out in a mascot costume, seemingly wearing such attire for the first time, his tall figure looking somewhat comical.

Tang Xi paused, "You... what are you doing here?"

"Part-time job."

At this moment, the supervisor walked out, "Little Tang, you and Little Cheng go together to the south side to hand out flyers."

Tang Xi put on the mascot costume and walked side by side with Cheng Yunlang, "Why do this?"

She didn't understand why Cheng Yunlang, a rich heir, would need to come here to do these jobs.

"I am not the kind of rich heir who idles his time away. I want to be with you... If you're working part-time here, I will join you," Cheng Yunlang said decisively, "Tang Xi, I like you."

Tang Xi was stunned.

"You don't have to rush to reply. Don't reject me right away. How about we give it a try?" He knew Tang Xi was a stubborn yet gentle girl, and he wanted to approach her gradually in this way, "From now on, as long as I am free every Saturday, I will come and work part-time with you, okay?"

While Tang Xi was in a daze,

At the bottom of her heart, there was more shock.

And a hint of, emotion...

Cheng Yunlang likes her?

Wasn't his interest supposed to be in Su Mengshu?

At work, she looked at the breakfast on the table. Sister Sun came over with a smile, "This is the breakfast Cheng Yunlang brought for you, Tang Xi. I think Little Cheng is quite a nice guy. Are you two... dating?"

Tang Xi got alarmed and quickly waved her hands, "No, Sister Sun, what are you talking about?"

Sister Sun smiled, "Little Cheng is a good boy... and you are outstanding too. You two are a good match."

"Sister Sun, really, there is nothing..."

Ruan Youqing walked over, and after Sister Sun had left, she came up to Tang Xi, looking at the breakfast on the table, a delicate meal box with steamed dumplings and soy milk from Yuxiangji.

"This is breakfast from Yuxiangji, you have to queue to get this... I've been meaning to tell you, Cheng Yunlang likes you, I can tell by the way he looks at you," she said.

There was no joy in Tang Xi's heart, rather her brows lightly knitted, "Isn't he interested in Su Mengshu?"

"He likes you!" Ruan Youqing slid her chair closer to Tang Xi, "Don't you really know? Oh my... you are too modest about your looks, have you forgotten that when you first went to the emergency department for internship, a bunch of male doctors asked for your WeChat..."

A gentle smile appeared on Tang Xi's face, as she was organizing the medical records, she lowered her gaze, "It's normal for colleagues to add each other on WeChat."

Actually, Tang Xi is quite beautiful, with an understated and calm beauty that is not aggressive but certainly not to be overlooked. At this moment, dressed in a white lab coat with black-framed glasses, she didn't appear plain but rather elegantly delicate.

Ruan Youqing grabbed her hand, "Tell me the truth, what do you feel about Cheng Yunlang?"

"I..." Tang Xi's gaze fell on a box of steamed dumplings on the table, she shook her head, "Youqing, you know, right now... I just want to cure my mother's illness..."

Not to mention, she was also Fu Tingzhou's secret wife.

Cheng Yunlang would have to call her Third Sister-in-law.

And...

She has known Cheng Yunlang since college, a refined and handsome senior, nothing more.

She didn't want to hold him back. Thinking of his elegant and well-bred fiancee, the gap between her and him was as vast as the distance between clouds and mud.

Ruan Youqing sighed, "That's true. How is Aunt Tang doing now?"

Tang Xi removed her glasses and pinched between her eyebrows, "Not very well."

Ruan Youqing said, "I still have some money, I can spare thirty thousand..."

"You need to send money to Zhao Yixing; I can't take your money." Tang Xi shook her head. She knew Ruan Youqing had a boyfriend; Ruan Youqing's family was ordinary, her parents divorced, and her mother focused all her attention on Youqing's younger brother. Youqing moved out from home and rented a place to live when she started college.

She had been dating a boyfriend for five years now.

Zhao Yixing went abroad to study three years ago, relying on the tuition and living expenses provided by Ruan Youqing.

Ruan Youqing, who led a frugal life, also supported her boyfriend's studies abroad.

At the mention of Zhao Yixing, Ruan Youqing's face beamed with joy, as if all the hardships had vanished, "He said he will come back at the end of this year. After he returns, we will get married."

From the bottom of her heart, Tang Xi offered her congratulations, "Congratulations."
