Chapter 324 I Can't Touch You

Tang Qing was not familiar with this place, it was her first time here.

She just turned around and went upstairs because she didn't want to stay with Jiang Budu anymore. If she said another word to him, she might not be able to restrain herself and hit him. She knew very well that it was not a rational choice, so she naturally couldn't let herself go impulsive.

After going upstairs, Tang Qing walked around and found the bathroom.

She is a bit of a germaphobe. She didn't take a shower last night and felt very uncomfortable today.

It's not surprising that Jiang Budu would remember this. After all, every time he visited her before, he would go to bed with her. He would definitely not forget such a small habit that was closely related to this matter.

Tang Qing walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes, stood under the shower and started to take a shower.

She spent the entire night in the CBRC's investigation office, barely sleeping, and her muscles ached all over. She felt much better after taking a shower with hot water.

Can't bear to leave.

This bath took nearly half an hour.

Just as Tang Qing turned off the shower and was wiping his body, he heard a knock on the door.

Her nerves, which had originally relaxed, tensed up again, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

Along with the knock on the door came Jiang Budu's voice: "Are you done washing?"

Tang Qing: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Budu didn't answer her and just pushed the door open and walked in.

Tang Qing was naked. When he heard the door opening, he subconsciously wanted to cover himself up, but then he thought it was pointless.

So she just stood in front of him.

Jiang Budu put the clothes in his hand on the rack and looked her over. "Change your clothes and come down to eat."

Tang Qing glanced at the shelf, which was filled with brand new clothes, from inside to outside.

Logically, she should say thank you to Jiang Budu, but thinking about what he had done, she really couldn't say it.

There was no expression on Tang Qing's face, and she looked cold and desolate. Her hair was still wet and dripping. She had just taken a long shower, and her body was covered with a layer of powder, which made people's throats burn.

Jiang Budu took a step forward, held her shoulders, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Tang Qing dodged immediately.

Jiang Budu pressed the back of her head with his hand and stared into her eyes: "Can I still not touch you?"

Tang Qing: "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

Jiang Budu choked. He didn't expect her to come up with such an excuse.

While he was surprised, Tang Qing had already broken free from his arms and walked to the rack to change clothes.

Even when putting on clothes in front of him, Tang Qing did not show any embarrassment, as if he did not exist at all.

Jiang Budu has met countless people over the years and thinks he has seen all kinds of women: shy, pure, passionate, sexy. Different types have different experiences and charms.

But Tang Qing is quite different from these people.

The previous women, regardless of their type, all treated him in a flattering manner.

Only her.

Even when threatened by him, she never felt inferior, never tried to please him, and never made demands.

Jiang Budu always felt that there seemed to be an invisible gap between her and him, which was invisible but could not be crossed.

If someone else treated him like this, he might think it was a tactic of playing hard to get, but Tang Qing obviously didn't think so. She simply didn't like him.

He admitted that the bad nature of men was fully displayed at this moment. He just couldn't bear to see Tang Qing not caring about him.

The more she disliked him, the more he wanted to keep her by his side and torture her.

She wanted to be with Gu Zhongzhou, but it was impossible.

While Jiang Budu was thinking, Tang Qing had already put on his clothes.

She didn't blow-dry her hair, just wiped it a few times with a dry towel and was done.

Tang Qing had just put down the towel when Jiang Budu grabbed her wrist and led her out.

Tang Qing looked down and did not refuse.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, breakfast was already on the table and the aunt was washing pots in the kitchen.

When he met the third person, Tang Qing was still somewhat embarrassed, but his aunt was well-trained and looked calm. After saying good morning to them, she continued to work.

Jiang Budu pulled out a chair for Tang Qing to sit down, and then he sat opposite.

He took a sip of the milk and said to Tang Qing, "Sister Wang is in charge of the kitchen. If you want to eat something in the future, tell her."

Tang Qing said "Oh", still looking cold.

Jiang Budu felt a tightness in his chest when he saw her like this. "After dinner, I'll go move with you. We'll go to the bank to handle our resignation tomorrow."

Tang Qing was silent.

Neither moving nor quitting her job was what she wanted. She would subconsciously avoid topics she didn't want to talk about.

Unfortunately, Jiang Budu will not give her this opportunity. He has already made the decision unilaterally.

Tang Qing simply stopped communicating with him.

The two of them ate breakfast in silence, and the atmosphere around them was a little depressing.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Budu's cell phone rang.

His cell phone was on the dining table. When the ringtone rang, Tang Qing subconsciously looked over.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Yan's name on the screen.

Tang Qing tightened his grip on the milk cup.

Jiang Budu didn't shy away from it and answered the phone right in front of her.

Tang Qing heard Gu Yan and Jiang Budu say, "The designer will be here tonight. I've arranged to have dinner with him. You should come too and take measurements."

Jiang Budu pondered for a moment, "I understand."

He was not very warm to Gu Yan and hung up the phone after saying a few perfunctory words.

Judging from the content of the chat, they should be ordering something like a wedding dress or wedding ring.

Tang Qing's breathing became a little heavy.

She didn't consider herself a particularly noble person, but it was still embarrassing to be forced into this situation.

If Jiang Budu was single, there would be nothing wrong with them playing with each other.

Although she didn't like Gu Yan, it was a fact that Gu Yan was Jiang Budu's fiancée and they were about to get married.

——

It was already half past ten when we finished the meal.

Tang Qing was taken to the apartment by Jiang Budu to pack his luggage. It was already past lunch time when they finished moving, so they had a meal outside.

After returning to the villa, Jiang Budu didn't stay there for long before he was called away by Gu Yan.

Before he left, Tang Qing finally took the initiative to speak to him.

Tang Qing asked, "Can I go out?"

Jiang Budu: "Did I ever say I would put you under house arrest?"

"Just remember to come back." He sounded considerate. "Go to the bank tomorrow morning to complete the resignation procedures. I've already notified your supervisor."

Tang Qing: "Oh."

——

In the evening, after class, Song Yi drove to the restaurant to keep his appointment with Tang Qing.

Ying Xing also took a leave of absence early and rushed over from work.

The two men sat down one after another, looking at Tang Qing's slightly haggard face, and couldn't help but worry.

Song Yi: "Didn't you get enough rest today?"

Ying Xing: "Everything is settled now. Stop overthinking and get some sleep. By the way, when will the bank notify you to return to work?"

"I'm not going back." After being silent for almost half a minute, Tang Qing finally said these four words.

"Not going back?" Song Yi and Ying Xing asked in unison, "Why?"

Tang Qing: "I'm going to resign tomorrow."
