MS. TAN IS THE REAL BOSS

Chapter 1518: Temporarily separate in 1517

“Okay, okay, I’m superstitious,” Zhuang Liu admitted, “when we return, we’ll go to pray to Buddha, alright?”

Tan Rou agreed, “Sure.”

Zhuang Liu still wasn’t reassured by the current situation. “Do you still have to go back later? When will the king’s health improve? Your holiday will end soon, will you go back earlier?”

“I can’t go back,” Tan Rou said, “I might take another month off until I have handled everything here, then I can go back to school with peace of mind.”

Zhuang Liu disagreed with this, the longer it dragged on, the more danger Tan Rou would face. If possible, he wanted to take Tan Rou back now, but he knew she definitely wouldn’t agree.

“Can’t you leave earlier?” Zhuang Liu asked, “The work here shouldn’t need you to oversee it, right?” If Tan Rou needed to personally supervise Shang Jin and their work, she wouldn’t be staying in the palace all the time.

“It’s not about the work,” Tan Rou said, “I trust in Shang Jin and their capabilities, even without me, they can handle the work.”

“But I brought them here, I can’t leave them in danger. If I leave and they encounter danger here, I would never be at peace for the rest of my life.”

Zhuang Liu also felt troubled, these people all had their own families. They came abroad with Tan Rou not purely out of passion for the job, but more so for the higher salary that Tan Rou offered.

Why did they want a higher salary? It was to provide a better life for their families back home. But if something happened to them here, not only would Tan Rou feel terrible, their families would feel even worse.

“Hmm, I understand,” Zhuang Liu said, “I will stay here with you.”

Tan Rou asked, “What if I have to stay here for a long time?”

Zhuang Liu smiled, “I’m a big boss now, all of Zhuang family’s businesses are in my hands, my presence isn’t needed for work-related matters at all. Even if I don’t show up at the company for a year, it wouldn’t cause any trouble. Besides, my parents are there; they ended their global trip immediately when they heard I was coming to find you and returned to take care of things.”

That made Tan Rou quite relieved. With Hang Wei looking after the TR company and Zhuang family’s assets under the care of Zhuang Liu’s parents, she didn’t need to worry about domestic issues.

“Thank you, Liu!” Tan Rou hugged Zhuang Liu tightly, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know who else to discuss these matters with.”

Zhuang Liu also said, “We’re spouses, we should help each other. You have helped me a lot, it’s only right that I help you.”

Tan Rou let go of Zhuang Liu and then asked, “Where are you staying now?”

Zhuang Liu named the hotel, and Tan Rou said with surprise, “I stayed at that hotel before.”

Zhuang Liu nodded, “I know, the very enthusiastic hotel receptionist mentioned you.”

“Hmm,” Tan Rou arranged, “for now, you stay in the hotel. After I talk with Samiyi, I’ll bring you inside the palace.”

But Zhuang Liu was not in a hurry to join Tan Rou, “Tan Rou, I’ll continue staying outside, it’s more free out there and more convenient to handle things. If you want to see me, you can come find me.”

Tan Rou was a bit surprised, “Liu, I feel like you’ve changed.”

Zhuang Liu was puzzled and asked, “How have I changed? Have I gotten old?”

Tan Rou smiled and said, “No, you’ve not gotten old, our home’s Zhuang Liu is always eighteen.” She explained, “Actually, I think you’ve matured a lot, and your thoughts are not so naive anymore. Even if we’re not always together, our hearts are still connected.”

“Uh…” What should Zhuang Liu say? Within one day, he had been told twice that his thoughts were “immature.” Could it be that he really was that naive?

“We’re not just in a relationship,” Tan Rou said, “we’re family now, so we need to learn to trust each other more.”

“I know.” Zhuang Liu had already studied this issue, and these days, he had also been reflecting on his previous behavior, realizing that indeed some of his actions were inappropriate.

“You also need to be careful outside,” Tan Rou advised. “Between 8:30 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., try not to go out if possible, or you might encounter patrol soldiers carrying guns, and they really will shoot.”
