Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss Chapter 135 Tao Qi getting sick

135 135 Tao Qi getting sick

Tan Rou covered her face and calmed herself down for a long time. Then, she slowly raised her head and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes.

She had no choice. If Tao Qi found out that she was pretending to cry to deceive him, he would definitely burst into rage out of humiliation and never believe her again.

Tan Rou could only put on a show and prevent Tao Qi from knowing the truth.

Fortunately, Tan Rou covered her face and laughed until her face was red and tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes. By then, she really looked like she had cried.

Tao Qi stared at Tan Rou uneasily. “You’re not crying anymore, right? I didn’t say anything, why are you so agitated? Are you pretending to be pitiful?”

Tan Rou felt a little guilty, and her eyes wavered for a moment. She quickly explained, “Why should I act pitiful? You don’t like me very much. Do you even feel bad for me?”

Tao Qi’s eyes widened. “Don’t be delusional. Why would I feel sorry for you? I just despise you for crying so horribly, ugly freak!”

Tan Rou pursed her lips. “It’s fine if you don’t feel bad for me. I feel bad for you, okay? Are you in a better mood now?”

Tao Qi was stunned. He had been particularly conflicted and in a heavy mood just now, but he didn’t expect that after chatting and bickering with Tan Rou, he really felt much better.

Although his body still felt uncomfortable, his mood was relaxed. Was Tan Rou deliberately comforting and consoling him?

“If you’re not trying to show off in front of mom and dad, then why are you being so nice to me?” Tao Qi asked hesitantly.

Tao Qi didn’t understand. He had been refuting Tan Rou since he returned and he had quarrelled with her on the first day he came home. He had always argued that he didn’t acknowledge her and didn’t want her to be his sister, but why was Tan Rou still able to care for him and take care of him?

Tan Rou didn’t know that Tao Qi had such complicated thoughts. So, she answered the question casually, “What could I do about it? You’re my younger brother!”

Tao Qi didn’t expect Tan Rou to say that. Did she mean that she would tolerate him unconditionally because she already treated him as a younger brother?

Tao Qi didn’t know if it was because he was uncomfortable or because he was embarra.s.sed by Tan Rou’s words, but his face burned so badly that even his head began to feel dizzy. His eyes were hazy, and he even saw double images of Tan Rou.

Tao Qi quickly shook her head and didn’t think much of it, thinking that he was just too emotional.

Tan Rou noticed Tao Qi’s overly red face and was about to go up to check. “What’s wrong with you? You haven’t looked right since you came back!”

However, he didn’t expect Tao Qi to be so sensitive at this time. Tan Rou’s words kept ringing in his mind. He felt that she had accepted him so openly but he still wanted to compete with her. It made him seem like he was insensible. He instantly felt embarra.s.sed.

Tao Qi dodged Tan Rou’s touch and said, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me!”

Then, he ran back to his room.

Tan Rou was stunned. She didn’t expect Tao Qi to have such a strong reaction.

She had just said that he was smart and had already treated him as an adult where she could communicate with. She did not expect that he would still act like a child and could change so quickly.

Seeing how fast Tao Qi ran, he should be fine. Tan Rou shook her head and stopped chasing after her.

After Tao Qi ran back to his room, he immediately jumped onto the bed and hid himself well.

But, after lying down for a while, Tao Qi still felt the world spinning around him. Not only was his face burning, but his entire body felt like it was on fire. His stomach was churning and twitching.

Tao Qi rolled around on the bed, curled up and held his stomach, thinking that it was because he didn’t eat well during dinner and he was suffering from indigestion. He would be fine after lying down.

After some time, Tao Qi not only felt that his whole body was hot but it also started to itch. It was so itchy that Tao Qi didn’t know what to do next. He wanted to find a piece of old wood and lie down on it.

Tao Qi was also a little scared at this time. He felt that it wasn’t because of his digestion problem. He was scared and uncomfortable. Tears welled up in his eyes as his hands clenched his body.

Tao Qi thought helplessly that he had been like this since he came back from dinner. Could it be that the heavens were punis.h.i.+ng him for sneaking out?

However, he didn’t dare to look for his parents. They were already very angry at him. If they knew that he had fallen sick after eating with Tan Jing, they would be even angrier. They might even blame Sister Jingjing for it!
