Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 127 - 128: Xiaowu’s Good Sister — Jiang Tiantian

Chapter 127: Chapter 128: Xiaowu’s Good Sister — Jiang Tiantian

"By that time, the truth will come out."

Hearing that Tang De was no longer arguing, Zhang Meilan stopped targeting him. "Fine, fine, fine. This old lady will endure it for a few more days." When he gets his face slapped, let’s see if he has any dignity left to stay in the Tang Family.

Tang De sighed helplessly. "What if Qin Long really is preparing a grand proposal for Xuewu?"

Zhang Meilan snorted coldly. "If that happens, I’ll have Xuewu and Qin Long register their marriage immediately. No questions asked." She wasn’t worried at all. After all, I don’t believe for a second that Qin Long could book the Sky Garden. That’s not something just anyone can do.

"If that happens, won’t we be at his mercy?" Tang De sighed again, took a sip of tea, and prepared for bed.

Zhang Meilan took off her clothes to go to sleep. I refuse to believe that bum has such incredible abilities!

「The next day.」

The weather was splendid, and Tang Xuewu was looking forward to a day of rest. She was currently helping Qin Long practice walking.

Previously, as a department head, she had done the work of several people for a pittance of a salary, only for all the rewards to be snatched up by Tang Chuchu and Tang Yuxiang. But now that she was a project general manager, things were finally looking up. She could afford to relax a little. But she couldn’t help but think about how Wang Ming was always involved... The Tang Family only partnered with the Yaolong Group because of him, yet my grandfather is forcing me to break things off. She deeply resented it; she’d disliked Wang Ming from the very start.

Lost in these thoughts, her attention wavered. Qin Long, who had been walking toward her without his crutches, suddenly lost his footing and stumbled.

"Xuewu, what’s wrong?" he asked, landing on the ground with a confused expression. He had seen her get distracted.

Tang Xuewu snapped back to reality and rushed to apologize. "I’m so sorry, A’Long! Are you hurt?"

Just then, her phone rang on a nearby table. RING! RING! RING!

Tang Xuewu answered it, and a cheerful voice chirped from the other end. "My beloved Concubine Xuewu, where are you? This Empress wishes to see you!"

It was the same playful girl from yesterday.

"Didn’t you say we were having hot pot for lunch? Why are you calling now?" Tang Xuewu asked, puzzled.

"What’s wrong? Is it a crime for me to miss my beloved concubine?"

The girl shared her location with Tang Xuewu before hanging up.

After the call, she turned to Qin Long curiously. "Hey, A’Long, I remember you said you served in the Southern Region, right?"

Qin Long hesitated for a moment before nodding in confirmation.

"My good friend, Lin Yarou, went to the Nanjiang National Defense University and was later assigned to a post in the Southern Region military," Tang Xuewu mumbled, seemingly lost in thought. "Wait, I’ll show you a video later. See if you recognize my friend Rourou’s ’dream guy.’ Who knows? Maybe he’s one of your superiors!" she added with a laugh, her two faint dimples appearing.

Hearing this, Qin Long was dumbfounded. My high-ranking superior? The Heavenly Dragon’s high-ranking superior? Wouldn’t that be Emperor Daxia himself? Tang Xuewu’s friend knows Emperor Daxia? How the hell is that possible? Is she a princess?

"Look at you! I just mention it casually, and you get that completely blank look on your face," Tang Xuewu said, giggling as she watched him space out. This silly fool really doesn’t understand how a girl’s mind works.

"Hmm. Maybe he really is my superior," Qin Long said slowly with a faint smile.

Tang Xuewu, of course, had no idea that Qin Long was the Heavenly Dragon, so her line of thinking was perfectly normal. She probably thinks I was just a cook in the army, without any rank to speak of. Qin Long didn’t bother to explain.

While waiting for her friend to arrive, Tang Xuewu turned to Qin Long. "A’Long, I’ll take you home first. My friends and I haven’t gotten together in a long time, and I finally have a day off to relax. I won’t drink, and I’ll be home soon. Is there anything you want to eat? I can bring it back for you."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she wasn’t sure why she was explaining so much to him. It’s as if I’m afraid he’ll get angry.

"Okay, go have fun," Qin Long said, waving his hand understandingly. Over the past few years, Tang Xuewu had almost no free time while taking care of him. Now that he had recovered and could look after himself, he was determined to give her all the freedom she deserved.

"Is it just going to be you and your girlfriends?" Qin Long asked, glancing at her casually.

Tang Xuewu was surprised to hear the hint of jealousy in his tone. "There will definitely be guys there. My best friend is very outgoing, kind of a tomboy, so she has a lot of guy friends," she answered directly, not hiding anything.

"You’re too beautiful. I’d worry," Qin Long said nonchalantly. "Take me with you. I promise I won’t get in your way."

Tang Xuewu’s face blushed. This silly fool is worried about me. "Alright then..." She knew this was his way of showing he cared. He isn’t one for sweet talk, but he always gives me an unshakable sense of security. With him around, everything feels safe and steady.

Just then, two white Mercedes-Benz cars and an Audi pulled up slowly. While not top-of-the-line sports cars, each was still worth at least eight hundred thousand. Anyone who could afford such vehicles came from a family with assets of at least ten million.

"Is that your friend?" Qin Long asked, looking at Tang Xuewu gently.

"Yes, I recognize the license plate... but it looks like she brought a lot of friends," Tang Xuewu said, glancing at him apologetically.

"What’s the big deal?" he replied. "With me here, nothing will go wrong."

A sudden warmth spread through Tang Xuewu’s heart.

"My beloved concubine, your Empress has arrived!" a lively voice called out.

A girl in a Japanese-style school uniform bounded toward Tang Xuewu and threw her arms around her.

"Tiantian! Why are you here now?" Tang Xuewu exclaimed, hugging her back tightly.

Jiang Tiantian was one of Tang Xuewu’s closest friends. In high school, she, Tang Xuewu, and Lin Yanrou had been known as the three great campus beauties. It had been Tang Xuewu and Jiang Tiantian who had personally sent Lin Yanrou off at the train station when she left for university.

Jiang Tiantian had a sweet face and a lively, adorable personality. She loved wearing school uniforms, which gave her an alluring charm. Tang Xuewu was cool on the outside and warm on the inside, while Jiang Tiantian was sweet on the outside but tough on the inside. Qin Long found himself wondering how two such different people became best friends.

"As soon as I heard my dear concubine had the day off, I rushed right over to attend to you in your chambers!" Jiang Tiantian said with a hearty laugh as she finally let go.

Tang Xuewu could only smile helplessly at her antics. "Tiantian, you know how my family is," she sighed softly. "Things have only just started looking up."

"Of course I know, my beloved concubine! I was just teasing you." Jiang Tiantian turned, and her alluring peach-blossom eyes fell upon Qin Long, widening in shock. Tang Xuewu’s fool of a fiancé has actually recovered his memories! Still, I feel a strange sense of déjà vu that I can’t quite place. I’ve seen Qin Long many times before, but back then, his eyes were always vacant and his expression dopey, and he’d often break into a witless grin for no reason. The man standing here now has eyes as sharp as a sword ready to be drawn from its sheath. His features are actually quite handsome. But why does he seem so familiar, as if I’ve seen him recently? I haven’t, though...

"Great Beauty Tang, long time no see!"
