When Shen Qingxu looked up, she caught a glimpse of her distraught appearance and guessed what had happened.
Shen Qingxu shook his head and sighed helplessly. Love is the most hurtful thing.
"If you really can't bear to part with him, go and explain it to him. He will believe your explanation, as long as you are willing to speak up."
“It’s no use. If he finds out that A-Lu is his child, and if more of the truth is discovered in the future, I might not even be able to keep custody of A-Lu. Right now, I’m happy just being with my child.”
Shen Qingxu nodded, feeling that Tang Li's considerations were not without reason.
Tang Li and Tang Nanquan have fallen out. Who knows when Tang Nanquan will suddenly go crazy and reveal the truth!
If he decides to fight to the death, Tang Li will also be implicated.
"In that case, let's do as you say!"
Tang Li nodded and turned to leave the ward when Shen Qingxu suddenly called out to her.
"Tang Li, no matter what, I hope you can be happy."
Tang Li's smile, however, seemed somewhat forced.
Even though I had already mentally prepared myself, my heart still skipped a beat, and I felt a chill run down my spine.
She and Lu Jianshen were ultimately destined to be apart.
Yan Zhenzhen is still in the hospital, and Shen Qingxu is also recovering from his injuries. With no one to accompany them, Tang Li went to a nearby bar alone and had a few drinks to relieve her suppressed emotions.
Unexpectedly, after only a few drinks, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, I saw someone coming this way.
Huo Chenxi!
Tang Li glanced at that annoying face, frowned, and felt displeased.
I've encountered Huo Chenxi, this playboy, several times; he's never a good person!
Tang Li didn't want to provoke this man, so she turned her head away, pretending not to see him. But Huo Chenxi walked up to her, stopped, and even greeted her.
"Miss Tang, it must be so boring for you to drink alone today. Why don't you keep me company?"
As Huo Chenxi spoke, he leaned in flirtatiously.
"Consider this drink my treat for Miss Tang!"
Tang Li forcefully shook him off, her brows furrowed.
Even the slightest accidental touch of Huo Chenxi's hand made her feel dirty. She needed to disinfect it when she got home; men like that were the most disgusting!
Huo Chenxi was holding a glass when the wine was spilled, and he immediately frowned, displeased.
"Miss Tang, you're really angry!"
He barged in and, without a word, grabbed Tang Li's chin.
"Don't push your luck, Tang Li. Do you really think you're some high and mighty princess?"
Tang Li tried to push him away, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great, and she was unable to move Huo Chenxi.
Tang Li was already three-tenths drunk and realized that the situation around her was not in her best interest!
She got up to leave, but Huo Chenxi grabbed her from behind and hugged her.
"You'd better just listen to me."
"Huo Chenxi, let me go, get away from me!"
Passersby could tell that Tang Li was not doing it voluntarily, but they didn't dare to offend Huo Chenxi, who was a regular at this bar.
Tang Li gritted her teeth, just about to kick him.
"Bang!"
Huo Chenxi was punched and sent flying to the side!
Didn't you hear this lady tell you to let go?
Huo Chenxi covered her injured lip and looked at Gu Mingcheng, who had come to her rescue, with a cold smile.
It was just a performance to play along with him, but he actually threw a real punch at me. That punch really hurt!
He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Gu Mingcheng. After Gu Mingcheng gave him a look, Huo Chenxi smiled and understood.
"What are you doing, kid? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"
Huo Chenxi grabbed Gu Mingcheng by the collar, about to start a fight, but Gu Mingcheng easily subdued her and made her lie on the ground.
"Aww..."
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Huo Chenxi looked pained and was forced to apologize reluctantly.
Gu Mingcheng then shoved him away, "Get out of here!"
Tang Li just wanted to drink in peace, but she didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing, and that someone would still come to her rescue.
If she didn't go up and greet them, it would make her seem ill-mannered.
Tang Li stepped forward and glanced at the man in front of her, who was about 183 cm tall, with fair skin, regular features, and wearing black metal half-rimmed glasses.
"Thank you, sir. If you hadn't intervened, I might have been in trouble."
Gu Mingcheng seemed completely unconcerned. "Hello, Gu Mingcheng!"
The other party has already revealed his name. If Tang Li continues to be secretive, it would be inappropriate for him to act as a righteous savior.
"Tang Li".
Gu Mingcheng nodded. "Your name is quite nice! But next time, don't come to a bar alone too late to drink; it's dangerous."
After saying this, Gu Mingcheng didn't engage in further conversation and made an excuse to leave.
They will have a chance to meet again, and it will be soon!
Tang Li didn't take the matter to heart, regarding it as just an ordinary act of bravery.
The thought of meeting Lu Jianshen at nine o'clock tomorrow morning made Tang Li lose her appetite for alcohol.
She intended to pay for her drinks and leave, but the bartender told her that the gentleman who had intervened had already paid for them for her.
"Yeah?"
Tang Li felt even more guilty.
Mr. Gu just now acted bravely and even paid for her drinks.
Tang Li thought for a moment and left some money with the bartender.
"Thank you for your help. Next time he comes, please waive his drink bill."
They didn't leave any contact information, and Tang Li didn't know how to thank them, so she could only do it this way.
