Chapter 163: Overbearing Tenderness

The air froze instantly...

Tu Ran glanced at Xie Nancheng calmly, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I don't want anything, I just want you to fulfill your promise."

"You promised me that you would owe me a favor and agree to do something for me. As long as it doesn't violate moral bottom lines or commit crimes, you will satisfy me."

"I did."

Although Tu Ran appeared calm on the outside, he was actually quite nervous.

The calmness at this point is just an illusion.

Because she was particularly sensitive and afraid that Xie Nancheng would propose to her and establish a marital relationship.

After all, they are a legal couple with a marriage certificate, so this does not violate moral bottom line, let alone the law.

But she was not ready to sleep in the same bed with Xie Nancheng and have physical intimacy.

But once you say something, you can't take it back.

"Do your previous words still count?"

"Calculate."

"Okay, then I ask you to..."

Xie Nancheng watched her speak word by word, and Tu Ran's heart was in her throat.

"I ask you to stop the cold war with me now."

The air solidified again...

"That's it?" Tu Ran was dumbfounded. That's it?

"That's all. Do you agree or not?" The boss was very domineering.

Tu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can."

"Then I'll send you a WeChat message, and you're not allowed to not reply."

"good."

"You are not allowed to ignore my calls."

"good."

"When will you go home?"

"Wait until after my vacation. My current place is very convenient to my workplace."

"I can buy you a car."

"No need." Tu Ran rejected him again.

"Where do you live now?"

"Don't you know?" Tu Ran asked back.

"Ridiculous, why would I know that?"

"You're not the one who likes investigating my whereabouts the most..."

"You're really good at flattering yourself. I'm investigating you? You're so pissed I'm laughing."

"What's the point of me investigating you? I can't even make back the cost of investigating you."

Although what Xie Nancheng said was unpleasant, Tu Ranbing was not angry and was even in a happy mood.

Because Xie Nancheng did not seek repayment for her kindness or threaten her.

I didn't use that favor to threaten her into doing something she didn't want to do.

To be honest, what’s the point of not having a cold war?

The boss just wasted a precious opportunity.

"I'm staying at my classmate's house, Mu Wanjun."

"You should know."

"Last time, my mother had high blood pressure, and I went to her to get the medicine."

"Ah, that classmate. It must be inconvenient for you to live at your classmate's house. It wouldn't be nice to disturb them, right?"

"My classmates have already returned to their hometown in southern Sichuan for winter break, and I'm the only one left."

"That's more like it."

Before Tu Ran could say anything, Xie Nancheng called.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be right back."

"I have to go back to the company and can't take you there."

"I'm fine, I'll take a taxi myself."

Before leaving, Xie Nancheng naturally took out his wallet and took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from it.

It was stuffed into the pocket of Tu Ran's long down jacket without warning.

"What are you doing?"

"It's living expenses. Take it."

"Need not."

"Just take what I give you, don't be stubborn."

Tu Ran: ...

"As long as you are still my wife in name, I will support you."

After saying that, Xie Nancheng was the first to step out the door.

To be honest, this sentence sounds weird.

But I have to say, Tu Ran was still a little warmed.

They are a couple in name only, but he is willing to support her.

How far can we really go? At least we have met each other, and it can be regarded as a fate destined by heaven.

After getting in the taxi, Tu Ran had nothing to do in the back seat, so he checked the money.

There are actually 18,800. Is this... really not prepared on purpose?

The number is really auspicious. No one would complain about having too much money, right?

The two of them did not contact each other again in the afternoon.

After Tu Ran returned, the clinic became busy again.

She also discovered that Old Man Sun could not only take pulses, treat illnesses, perform acupuncture and massage, but also adjust bones and joints.

Patients continued to come in the afternoon, and the two of them continued to be busy.

Tu Ran was responsible for prescribing medicine for patients, collecting money, and assisting Old Man Sun.

"Doctor Sun, I'm here to get medicine for my grandma."

A man walked in.

The moment Tu Ran raised her head, she looked into his eyes.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

"You...why are you here?" The man obviously didn't know.

Tu Ran didn't say anything.

Old Man Sun started gossiping, "Do you two... know each other?"

"Ah, we are from the same school." Tu Ran came back to his senses.

"Are you also from Traditional Chinese Medicine University?" Old man Sun looked at the boy.

Wei Ming really never thought that he would meet Tu Ran here.

He had gone to her class at school to look for her, but found that she was not there.

Mu Wanjun had also told Tu Ran about this before.

Wei Ming has to say, he is really handsome.

But this kind of handsomeness is different from that of Xie Nancheng, Gu Xixing and others.

After all, they are students, still wet behind the ears, and their temperament is immature and naive.

"Ah, me too."

"This kid is pretty tight-lipped. You didn't even mention it."

Wei Ming smiled shyly.

"Give him the traditional Chinese medicine formula for treating rheumatism." Old Man Sun instructed Tu Ran.

"OK."

Tu Ran is smart and understands things quickly.

Although he has been here for a short time, he is diligent and smart, and Old Man Sun is able to use his skills with ease.

It took a long time to get the medicine, so the two of them stood where the medicine box was.

Tu Ran lowered his head and silently prepared and weighed the medicine according to the dosage of the prescription.

Wei Ming said softly, "I went to look for you that day, but your classmates said you didn't go."

"Um."

"You're not even going to take the exam?"

"Um."

"Why?" Wei Ming was curious.

"Mr. Wei, I don't think we're familiar enough to talk about this."

"I'm just curious. If you don't take the exam, you won't be able to get a certificate when you graduate."

"Then don't give me a certificate."

"If you don't need a certificate, why are you going to school?" Wei Ming wondered.

Tu Ran stopped what he was doing and asked, "So, are you going to college just to get a certificate?"

This question really stumped Wei Ming. The answer was neither yes nor no.

"You are really good at confronting people." Wei Ming smiled awkwardly.

"I also distinguish between people. If others respect me, I will naturally not argue with them."

"So what you mean is that I don't respect you?" Wei Ming looked at Tu Ran with a smile.

Just as Tu Ran was about to answer, his cell phone rang.

It turned out to be Principal Wu calling, so she didn't dare to neglect it.

Tu Ran: Hello?

Principal Wu: Tu Ran, I hope I didn’t disturb you?

Tu Ran: No, what’s wrong, Principal Wu?

Principal Wu: Has Xixing contacted you?

Tu Ran hesitated for a moment and replied: No.

Principal Wu: I guess he's embarrassed to ask you, but his company is facing a crisis. Many professionals have been involved, but there's no good solution. That's why I thought of you. You've studied medicine since childhood, learning well from your grandfather. I wonder if you could be of some help?

Tu Ran remained silent, thinking about how to answer.

Principal Wu continued: How about this, I will arrange a dinner party tonight and invite Xixing out so that the three of us can chat?
