CH 96

Tang Yu didn't know how long she had cried. Eventually, she cried to the point where she grew confused.

Why am I crying in the first place?

Tang Yu instantly retracted her expression and lifted her tear-streaked face. Then, when she saw a certain someone looking at her indifferently, her eyes gradually narrowed.

A certain someone felt a chill crawl down her back and subconsciously shuddered. Although this someone tried to act strong, her eyes shifting left and right gave away her anxiety and guilt.

After a moment of silence, Tang Yu got up from the ground, wiped her tears with one hand, and patted the non-existent dust on her clothes with her other hand. Then, she walked up to Yin Zhao-an, pinched the other party's chin, leaned forward, and coldly said, "Since you've already found out, I won't continue hiding it. I am at fault in this matter, but you are also at fault."

Invisible question marks appeared above Yin Zhao-an's head, and she couldn't help but look at her Tang-Tang's domineering face in puzzlement. Try as her Tang-Tang might, the reddened corners of her Tang-Tang's eyes only made her Tang-Tang look like an easy target for bullying.

"Aren't I the victim?" Yin Zhao-an tried to rectify her place in this situation. Although she received a glare as soon as she finished speaking, the glare did not have any deterrent effect.

"You are an accomplice." Tang Yu removed her hand and straightened her posture. Then, while looking down at Yin Zhao-an, she said, "Not only did you not resist, but you even reversed our positions. So, you cannot be considered a victim. As for my actions just now..."

After pausing for a moment, an idea came to Tang Yu's mind as she faintly smiled and said, "How about we pretend nothing ever happened?"

"No!" Yin Zhao-an instantly rejected the idea. Nothing ever happened? If they pretended nothing ever happened, wouldn't her progress bar be reset to zero?

Yin Zhao-an struggled to get out of her rattan chair. Without the support of her crutches, she quickly fell forward after getting out, and unsurprisingly, she fell into Tang Yu's embrace. Then, before Tang Yu could react, Yin Zhao-an wrapped her arms around Tang Yu's neck and softly pecked Tang Yu's lips.

Tang Yu was truly stunned this time. Staring blankly at Yin Zhao-an's pursed lips and serious expression, she slowly opened her mouth and asked, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"I know. Yin Zhao-an relied on Tang Yu to stand straight, her height immediately exceeding Tang Yu by a large margin. Then, she bent down slightly to meet Tang Yu's eyes and said, "I like you. Not as a friend but as someone who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to fall asleep looking at you and wake up seeing you. It can only be you and nobody else."

Lifting her hands to caress Tang Yu's tear-streaked face, Yin Zhao-an switched to a gentler tone and continued, "I like you, Tang-Tang. Are you scared?"

Tang Yu clutched the edges of Yin Zhao-an's shirt tightly and rubbed her face against the hands caressing her. "I'm not scared." But...

Tang Yu turned away from the person trying to kiss her, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Yin Zhao-an's heart thumped when she saw Tang Yu performing her face-changing act for a second time. Suddenly growing nervous, she asked, "Didn't you say you weren't scared?"

Tang Yu calmly pushed Yin Zhao-an back onto the rattan chair. When she saw the anxious look on Yin Zhao-an's face, she found it both amusing and refreshing.

She had paid so much for this person in her previous life. She had even spread her dignity on the ground for this person to trample on. All her love was wasted, so she must collect some interest on this debt.

"Indeed, I am not scared, but there must be a process for two people to get together. Your current behavior will only make me think that you are acting on impulse," Tang Yu strictly said. "Turn your words into action, and let me see them. Do you agree?"

Yin Zhao-an paused for a moment to arrange her thoughts. Then, she asked, "Do you mean I should start with pursuing you?"

Tang Yu frankly nodded and said, "It's fine if you think it's too troublesome. We can still be friends."

"I don't want us to be friends," Yin Zhao-an quickly answered. Grinning, she said, "My goal is for us to be lovers."

Yin Zhao-an's smile was very sincere, so sincere that it moved Tang Yu's heart a little and caused her to nearly surrender.

"Okay. I will wait for you at the finish line."

…

When the nanny arrived at the villa at night, she found a carp soup simmering in the kitchen. The soup's thick, sweet aroma permeated every corner of the kitchen, and the nanny couldn't help but salivate just from smelling it.

Has the Madam come home? the young nanny wondered.

The young nanny quickly prepared the cutlery on the dining table and wiped her hands on her apron. Then, she tentatively went upstairs, stopped in front of Yin Zhao-an's room, softly knocked on the door, and called out, "Young Miss, it's time for dinner."

"Alright."

A reply quickly came from the room, which was followed by rustling sounds. The young nanny quickly stood by the door, ready to help her charge.

A click came from the door. Just as the young nanny was extending her hands, she saw a beautiful girl standing next to her charge. The girl had long hair that reached her shoulders and a pair of eyes that were currently staring at the person using crutches next to her. When the girl saw the young nanny, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Awkwardly retracting her hands, the young nanny greeted the unfamiliar girl, "Hello."

"Hello," Tang Yu naturally responded to the greeting. She knew Yin Zhao-an's father had hired a nanny, but she didn't think the nanny would be so young. By the looks of it, the other party should be working only as a part-time nanny.

When Yin Zhao-an saw Tang Yu's gaze staying on the young nanny for quite some time, she angrily lifted her hand and covered Tang Yu's eyes. Then, she coldly said to the person in front of her, "You probably only prepared one set of cutlery, right? Hurry on with your work. She will help me get downstairs."

The young nanny was caught off guard by Yin Zhao-an's sudden change in attitude. After dazedly nodding, she hurriedly ran downstairs to prepare a second set of cutlery.

Once the nanny was gone, Tang Yu turned to look at Yin Zhao-an, only for Yin Zhao-an to rough up her hair and say, "You only need to look at me and nobody else."
