Capítulo 1134: Chapter 1134
Zhao Xiaotang’s crying was because of being abandoned by her own mother, being targeted and bullied by Guo Hailong.
There was also the apprehension and loss from transforming from a girl into a woman.
A variety of emotions intertwined, causing Zhao Xiaotang to finally break down at this moment.
What seemed like an impulsive desire to have a child with Zhang Yang was actually due to a lack of security and unspoken grievances.
At this moment, Zhang Yang truly felt sorry for Zhao Xiaotang, holding her in his arms and gently patting her back. Google seaʀᴄh N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Then he said softly in her ear, “As long as I’m here, no one will bully you again.”
Zhao Xiaotang, at this moment, didn’t understand what these words meant.
But Xu Mengyan beside them was very clear that Zhang Yang had already accepted Zhao Xiaotang from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, from this point on, Zhang Yang would no longer find it troublesome, and would even take the initiative to help Zhao Xiaotang solve all her troubles.
Zhao Xiaotang cried in Zhang Yang’s arms for a long time, and when she calmed down, Zhang Yang realized that Zhao Xiaotang had already fallen asleep.
She slept very soundly, but there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
Zhang Yang said to Xu Mengyan, “You and Zhao Xiaotang knew each other before?”
Xu Mengyan nodded and did not deny, “Yes, we knew each other, but we weren’t really close.”
“Anyway, we’re all in the same circle. Although we’re not close, I’ve never heard of her having any dark history.”
“She does have a strong competitive streak, but whether she’s dated anyone, I don’t know.” Xu Mengyan assumed Zhang Yang wanted to ask these things.
But in reality, Zhang Yang wanted to know, “Is there anyone Zhao Xiaotang cares about at home?”
“I don’t know that, I really don’t. But I can help you find out.”
Zhang Yang waved it off, “No worries, if you don’t know, then never mind. I’ll ask her myself when she wakes up.”
Xu Mengyan couldn’t help but ask, “Do you like Zhao Xiaotang?”
Zhang Yang looked at Zhao Xiaotang and then let out a long sigh.
“Whether I like her or not isn’t important, the important thing is I’m a man, I have to take responsibility for her.”
Xu Mengyan gave a thumbs up, admiringly saying to Zhang Yang, “That’s the man I fell for, even his words about flirting are so handsome.”
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but laugh, but upon reflection, he realized there was truth in her words.
“Do you think I’m really scum?” Zhang Yang asked.
But Xu Mengyan said, “I don’t know if you’re scum, but what I do know is, if a man truly only wants to sleep with a woman, he usually doesn’t think about responsibility.”
“But saying you’re not scum, look at how many women you have around you, I’m a bit envious of you.”
“Don’t you need to take care of your health? I’m worried you won’t handle it well in the future.”
After Xu Mengyan said this, she regretted it, just because Zhang Yang put down Zhao Xiaotang and, with a mischievous smile, pounced on her.
“You dare doubt your man’s ability, today you’re in for it.”
Xu Mengyan was startled; only then did she realize Zhang Yang had somehow become lively again.
It was terrifying. Sometimes Xu Mengyan felt Zhang Yang was frighteningly strong, navigating between several women while remaining so energetic, this formidable ability seems to surpass 99.999% of men globally.
“I was wrong, don’t be impulsive, I still have your child inside me. If you dare come at me, watch out, I’ll be unkind to your baby.”
This threat was indeed effective on Zhang Yang, who playfully scolded, “You wicked woman, I’ve made a note of this.”
After a few jokes, Zhang Yang comfortably leaned back on the bed.
Looking at the sleeping Zhao Xiaotang, he glanced over at the pregnant Xu Mengyan, and couldn’t help but think about Xiao Man from the video earlier.
Zhang Yang asked Xu Mengyan, “What do you think Xiao Man would feel if she knew I’ve been fooling around outside? I’m kind of scared to see Xiao Man again.”
Xu Mengyan was a smart woman, she very well knew that at times , as a lover, it wasn’t her place to say anything.
“Do you think I should confess to Xiao Man when she comes back?”
Upon hearing Zhang Yang ask this, Xu Mengyan couldn’t help but speak up.
“Why confess? Isn’t it fine now? Rest assured, we don’t expect to monopolize you.”
“We only hope you have us, or them, in your heart, and that’s enough.”
“As for Xiao Man, as long as she comes back safely, isn’t that great?”
“We can help you keep it hidden together, you don’t have to keep confessing all the time, why be so honest?”
“A white lie is never deceit.”
Zhang Yang chuckled bitterly, “Hearing you say that makes me a bit upset, it feels like even if I’m not a scumbag, you all are turning me into one.”
Xu Mengyan laughed along, “Otherwise, what? If you’re not a scumbag, what should we do?”
“If you really confess to Xiao Man, and she demands you break up with us out of anger, what then?”
“I would like to ask you, if Xiao Man really says that, would you break up with us?”
This question genuinely stumped Zhang Yang, leaving him unsure of how to answer.
Breaking up was impossible, Zhang Yang also couldn’t bear to part with these close friends.
The more he thought about it, the more headache-inducing it became, a classic case of having to choose between favors.
Upon reflection, it seemed Xu Mengyan was right. Continuing to keep it hidden was better for everyone, but it would also mean they all shared guilt with regard to Xiao Man.
Zhang Yang got up, dressed, and then gently picked up the sleeping Zhao Xiaotang.
“Let’s go, we should head back and meet with Jiang Meiren to discuss tomorrow’s Starlight Award.”
“Since they brought Xiao Man here, this time I definitely have to take Xiao Man back.”
“Sure, we’ll fully support you,” Xu Mengyan quickly dressed and left with Zhang Yang.
Meanwhile, Guo Hailong had arrived at a private hospital.
Guo Hailong was currently covered in injuries, although all external, they were very painful.
At that moment, a group of people suddenly stormed in.
Guo Hailong’s expression changed instantly, this was the Guo Family’s private hospital, with pretty strong security on the outside.
How did these people get in? Are the security guards outside eating shit?
“Hello, Mr. Guo, no need to be so nervous. We’re here to visit you, with no malicious intent,” a young woman leading them said with a smile.
Guo Hailong looked at the woman, asking in a deep voice, “Who are you?”
“Just speak up, what do you want with me? My time is limited.”
The woman’s attitude changed to one of malice, displeased with Guo Hailong’s demeanor.
“A word of advice, Mr. Guo, watch your tone, otherwise, you might find yourself in more pain.”
