“Zhan…”

An’an was about to ask if Uncle Zhan had arrived at the hospital, but he beat him to it.

“An’an, I’m sorry…” Zhan Xiaoting felt a little guilty. “My company has some problems and I need to go overseas. I can’t come by today!”

Hearing this, An’an was very disappointed.

However, he was still very sensible and comforted Zhan Xiaoting. “It’s okay. Come and see me when you’re free!”

He was so sensible that Zhan Xiaoting only felt his heart ache.

However, he had to deal with the company’s matters this time. He could only try his best to make up for it. “I’ll bring you a gift when I comes back!”

“Okay!” An’an forced a smile.

Zhan Xiaoting wanted to say a few more words to An’an, but he was about to board the plane, so he could only hang up.

Tang Weiwei vaguely heard the voice on the phone and felt that it sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

“An’an, who’s calling?”

“My new friend…”

An’an pursed his lips and said in disappointment.

“I wanted to introduce him to mom, but he’s on a business trip and can’t come today!”

The doubt in Tang Weiwei’s heart disappeared completely when she saw her son’s disappointed look.

“It’s okay …” She reached out to hug her son. “When he comes back, you can introduce him to Mom. It’ll be the same.”

An’an didn’t want his mother to worry, so he forced himself to perk up.

Tang Weiwei stayed with An’an in the hospital for the whole day.

When she returned home that night, she found out from Butler Wang that the Zhan Corporation was facing some problems and that Zhan Xiaoting had gone overseas on a business trip.

She was a little surprised.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Her son’s new friend was on a business trip!

Zhan Xiaoting was also on a business trip!

Could it be that the new friend her son had made was Zhan Xiaoting?

Thinking of this, Tang Weiwei laughed again.

How could there be such a coincidence?

An’an and Zhan Xiaoting were people from two different worlds. It was impossible for them to know each other, let alone become friends.

As she thought about it, she immediately threw the matter to the back of her mind.

On this day.

Tang Weiwei had been looking for work all day. As soon as she returned to the manor, she received a call from Old Master Zhan.

“Weiwei, are you free today?”

“Yes.” Tang Weiwei asked curiously, “Grandpa, why are you looking for me?”

“It’s Xiaoting!” Old Master Zhan said.

“He came back from a business trip today and asked the driver to pick him up at the airport, but the driver took leave for something very important. Can you please pick him up at the airport?”

“Okay.” Tang Weiwei couldn’t bear to reject Old Master Zhan’s request.

“I’ll leave it to you.”

She hung up and asked Uncle Wang to arrange a car for her.

“Young Madam, be careful on the road. It might rain heavily later,” Uncle Wang reminded her. “There’s an umbrella in the trunk.”

“Okay, I got it!” Tang Weiwei nodded and drove to the airport.

An hour later.

When Tang Weiwei arrived at the airport, the weather was already starting to look bad.

Seeing this, Tang Weiwei’s expression darkened.

“Do you think I wanted to pick you up? If Grandpa hadn’t called me and said that the driver had taken leave and asked me to come and pick you up, I wouldn’t have come!”

The old man treated her so well, so she couldn’t reject him.

Zhan Xiaoting rubbed the space between his eyebrows and immediately understood.

This was arranged by his grandfather again so that he and Tang Weiwei could develop a relationship.

Tang Weiwei felt raindrops on her face and immediately said, “It’s raining. Are you leaving?”

Zhan Xiaoting did not say anything, but he put away his luggage and sat in the front passenger seat.

Splash!

As soon as the two of them got into the car, heavy rain fell, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Tang Weiwei drove especially carefully.

When the traffic light turned green, she pointed at an indicator light on the car and couldn’t help but ask, “What does it mean when it lights up? I think it’s been lit up for a long time!”

Zhan Xiaoting, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. When he saw the indicator light, his face instantly darkened. “Didn’t you refuel the car when you came over?”

“When Uncle Wang gave me the car, he didn’t say that the car needed gas!”

Tang Weiwei was a little embarrassed.

Although she knew how to drive, she usually took the bus or the subway to work. She had never thought of refueling the car.

Tang Weiwei pursed her lips and asked, “Then… what should we do now?”

Zhan Xiaoting’s face darkened. “Find a place to refuel.”

“Okay…” Tang Weiwei agreed. After seeing an intersection, she decisively got off the highway.

The rain was getting heavier. She never found a gas station. The car ran out of gas and stopped by the side of the road.

“I ran out of gas!” Tang Weiwei looked at Zhan Xiaoting guiltily.

“Tang Weiwei, I really suspect that you’re deliberately taking revenge on me for what happened last time.” Zhan Xiaoting glared at her angrily.

Then, he took out his phone and called his assistant, asking him to pick them up.

The assistant checked the road conditions. “Master Zhan, the rain is too heavy today. Many roads have already been closed, so we can’t come over.”

“Got it.” Zhan Xiaoting hung up.

Then, he told Tang Weiwei about the situation.

“The rain is too heavy today. I don’t know when the rain will stop. It’s not safe to stay in the car. I just checked with my phone. There’s a farmhouse two thousand meters away from us. We can stay there for the night.”

Feeling a little guilty, Tang Weiwei tried to salvage the situation. “It just so happens that there’s an umbrella in the trunk.”

“Let’s go!” Zhan Xiaoting did not object.

Tang Weiwei opened the trunk and took out the umbrella. She said to him, “Master Zhan, there’s only one umbrella in the trunk. Let’s have one and make do.”

Zhan Xiaoting got out of the car and squeezed under an umbrella with Tang Weiwei, looking very miserable.

“You’re really incompetent and spoilt everything!” he complained angrily.

“You…”

“Achoo—”

Tang Weiwei was about to retort when she sneezed.

“It’s so cold!” Immediately after, she hugged her arms tightly and shivered. Suddenly…

Zhan Xiaoting grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace.

“Zhan Xiaoting, what are you doing?” Tang Weiwei immediately struggled warily.

Zhan Xiaoting held her waist domineeringly and said coldly, “If you don’t want to catch a cold, behave yourself.”

Tang Weiwei paused for a moment.

The umbrella in the trunk was too small. Half of her shoulder was wet from the rain. Now that she was about to die of cold, she didn’t struggle anymore.

They finally reached the farmhouse before dark.

The farmhouse was not big, and it was the peak tourist season recently. There was only one room left.

“Do you want the last room?” the boss asked.

“Yes, yes!”

Tang Weiwei immediately booked a room.

Zhan Xiaoting’s face darkened. He was very dissatisfied with this outcome, but there was no better way.

The two of them took the keys to the room and realized that it was not big. There was only a double bed.

Zhan Xiaoting’s aura was strong, and his body emitted a strong aggressive aura. It was incompatible with the current environment.

Tang Weiwei asked uneasily, “Master Zhan, do you want to go in and take a hot shower first?”

Zhan Xiaoting’s sharp gaze swept across her pale face as he said expressionlessly, “You shower first.”

Tang Weiwei was indeed very cold, so she did not stand on ceremony and went into the bathroom.

Zhan Xiaoting took out his phone and told his family that he was safe. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, at this moment…

“Ah…”

Tang Weiwei’s panicked scream came from the bathroom.

Zhan Xiaoting frowned and was about to go over to see what was going on when suddenly…

“Help, there are cockroaches…”

Tang Weiwei ran out of the bathroom barefooted in fear.

When she saw Zhan Xiaoting, she threw herself into his arms as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

Zhan Xiaoting was caught off guard and was knocked back two steps by Tang Weiwei.

The two of them fell heavily onto the bed behind them.

Tang Weiwei pressed her lips against Zhan Xiaoting’s thin and sexy lips.

Their eyes met and their lips touched…
