Coupled with Xu Shi's cold attitude during this period, she became even more timid.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Tang Shuang hadn't pulled this stunt today, she might have continued to maintain this ambiguous relationship with Xu Shi.
Therefore, it would be a lie to say I'm not grateful.
But just as she was about to say something more, her sister Tang grabbed her hand.
"I'm happy, but you're not the star of the show tonight."
Governor Tang said in a light tone, "I have to go first. Some people haven't fulfilled their promises to me yet."
"Right?"
She looked at Xu Shi.
Xu Shi coughed lightly.
Of course he knew that Tang Shuang was referring to the promise made before they went to sea that "I'll do xx when I get back," and he wasn't the type of person to renege on his promises.
With Shen Qin's groundwork laid beforehand, and now she's bringing this up again, what do you mean? Are you planning to be together with her?
Mr. Xu felt he couldn't handle something so exciting.
The reason is simple: I haven't experienced it before... Oh, you have, then it's alright.
Oh, you've experienced this more than once? Then it's even less of a problem.
Without that concern, he found Tang Shuang quite interesting.
The whole drama that unfolded tonight left him with a rather complicated feeling.
It's like... Tang Shuang is also trying hard to become the first wife.
This wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this, and it wasn't unheard of before, but the fate of the previous woman surnamed Xie, who wished to remain anonymous, seemed somewhat plausible...
But Tang Shuang is quite different. Despite her gentle and soft nature, she can still manage to balance both aspects. It can only be said that she has not been the director of the inspection bureau for so many years. She is not as stubborn as people imagine.
However, this was just him overthinking things. The truth is that Governor Tang had no desire to compete with anyone, let alone with Su Lin. She still remembers that she seemed to have played a rather awkward role in Xu Shi and Su Lin's relationship, and sometimes she even felt a little guilty about it.
For her, being able to stay with the person she loves forever is the best thing.
To be fair, she's actually a bit Platonic, which was evident when she went to the Hualan Empire... If she really wanted to fulfill any promises, wouldn't six months be enough for her to squander? It's just that there were many other important things to do at the time, so this matter was put on hold.
Now that I'm back in the City of Night Sin, and my heart has settled down, it's time to revisit the old stories.
Even the matter of being with Xu Shi was more like an obsession for her—since she had said so, it was absolutely impossible not to do it. Wasn't this also a way of expressing love? Having feelings without love always seemed a bit empty.
However, even so, her help to Shen Qin wasn't entirely selfless.
As for the reason... isn't it because that scoundrel Xu Shi has too many girls around him? Sometimes it makes her feel a little insecure.
However, if one finds some people to form a clique, it seems that this unnecessary worry can be effectively alleviated.
The same applies to other people as well. For example, Su Lin and Gu Yi have a better relationship, and Jiang Chengcheng and Xia Wuyou are like best friends.
In short, while speaking, Tang Shuang had already unleashed her ultimate attack on Xu Shi.
Elbow, come inside with me!
This was actually the first time Xu Shi had been so open with her, and for a moment he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Like Xia Xiaomao, whom she knew well from the start, Tang Shuang, as a front-line combatant, also had a standard fit physique. Not to mention abs and V-lines, her back was clearly defined, and her slender and fit body contained explosive, top-notch power.
Even though she no longer has to work on the front lines, the marks of the years cannot be erased, and she has not become complacent.
"What, have you never seen a girl before?"
Seeing him staring intently, Governor Tang found it a little amusing. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was some innocent, naive young man.
Xu Shi remained silent, only reaching out to touch the scars on her body, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.
Compared to Xia Wuyou, her body was even more mottled—this was the difference between the conglomerate's field operations department and the investigation bureau. The former was well-equipped, and many of its missions were not as risky. They were all from the conglomerate, and they would run into each other all the time. Unless it was a life-or-death struggle, who would risk their life for you for no reason?
But the Inspection Bureau is different. For many years, it has been a neglected department. Not only do conglomerates treat them like dogs, but the gangs in Sin City are also bolder in front of them.
Especially for someone like Tang Shuang, who rose through the ranks from the bottom, she inevitably had to deal with street thugs every day, and getting blood and injuries was unavoidable.
"...How about we get surgery to remove it?"
Mr. Xu sighed and said, "Or perhaps I remember there's a special medicine for 'snake rings' that can be applied and restored to its original state."
"No need for that, it's just a minor injury."
Tang Shuang didn't care about it and could even joke with him, "Keeping it won't make any difference. What, you're not going to find fault with me because of this, are you?"
"Yeah, I just don't like how it looks."
Xu Shi nodded in agreement, but his tone was tinged with displeasure.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Tang Shuang smiled. She knew that Xu Shi's sudden childish tantrum was actually because he felt sorry for her. She teased him, but she still chose to listen to him.
"Anyway, Chairman Xu holds a high position and wields great power, so I'll listen to you."
