Chapter 131 Saved from a beating
Tao Qi was afraid that Tan Jing would be waiting for him outside, so he ran into his house quickly. But, he stood at the door and hesitated for a long time.

Tao Qi was a little scared. What if his mother found out that he went out with Sister Jingjing and scolded him? What if they asked him what he did with Sister Jingjing? Should he tell them honestly that they went to a high-end Western restaurant for dinner?

He would definitely be criticised for that. However, if he didn’t tell the truth, wouldn’t that be lying? He had never lied.

Tao Qi paced back and forth at the door anxiously. He didn’t know if he was nervous or what, but he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. His stomach was churning and his breathing gradually quickened. Tao Qi thought that he might have been too nervous. It was normal to go and find Sister Jingjing, but it was all Tan Rou’s fault that the family was so sensitive to this, making him nervous as well.

Just as Tao Qi was rubbing his stomach and taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, the door was pushed open from the inside. Tan Rou stood at the door in her beige pajamas, holding a glass of fruit juice in her hand. She looked at Tao Qi, who was standing dumbly outside the door, and said, “What are you doing sneaking around? You’re already at the door, why aren’t you coming in?”

Tao Qi felt a little embarrassed as if he had been caught red-handed. When he saw Tan Rou, he was reminded of what Sister Jingjing had said just now. Unwilling to give Tan Rou a good time, he pulled a long face and rolled his eyes at Tan Rou before walking into the living room without a word.

Tan Rou looked at Tao Qi’s angry face and raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, after seeing Tan Jing, he lost his temper again. Tan Jing was really good at brainwashing others. The little idiot was really affected again.
