ARC 1: The Blackened Step-Brother (5)

JANUARY 2, 2022 / STAR

At this time, Tang Yitong’s expression was a little shocked.

Tang Wang…why did she save him?

Isn’t he the person she hates the most?

Normally, he could believe it had been a hypocritical and deliberate attempt to lower his guard. But when accidents happened people reacted with their gut instinct. When the car accident came, she would have acted on her own instincts. Tang Wan, even if she was trying to trick him, she wouldn’t risk her own life…right?  

However, he really couldn’t figure out why Tang Wan would do this?

Tang Wan was in so much pain that she loosened her hold on Tang Yitong. This gave him the opportunity to look at her face.

Blood was flowing down her forehead and her pale little face was furrowed in pain. She looked so fragile at that moment. 

Tang Wan felt Tang Yitong looking at her and slightly opened her eyes. Her clear dark eyes reflected Tang Yitong’s unexpected expression.

“Tang Yitong, are you ok? You’re not hurt?” Tang Wan asked weakly.

Tang Yitong pursed his lips and broke free from her embrace, “Why did you save me? Don’t you want me to die quickly?”

Tang Wan closed her eyes, “I’m sorry. When I see you, I picture my mother’s pain and anger. I can’t stop myself from venting my anger on you…but now I know that everything is my father’s fault. None of it is your fault. From now one, I won’t bully you anymore. You and I…we don’t owe each other anything anymore.”

After speaking, Tang Wan gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

This can be regarded as finding the right opportunity to apologize, although the price is a bit unfortunate.

As long as she doesn’t continue to bully Tang Yitong like before, he shouldn’t look for someone to abduct and sell her, right?

…

Tang Yitong was stunned for a moment after hearing Tang Wan’s explanation. When he lowered his head his hair covered his eyes, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

Little Cutie jumped out again, with good news, “Congratulations to the host! Tang Yitong’s favorability has changed from negative 100 to negative 80! Please continue to work hard wooing1 your little husband!” 

Tang Wan, “Goddamnit! Come out! I promise not to kill you!”

The traffic officers finally showed up and the door was soon removed. Seeing the hand being offered, Tang Wan told the office, “Pull my brother out first. My legs are trapped.”

As soon as she said this, Tang Yitong whipped his head around and looked down. He only now realized that Tang Wan’s leg was stuck under the seat of the car.

He clenched his hands tight. He hadn’t noticed until just now.

“Ding! Tang Yitong’s favorability degree has risen 10 points. Your current favorability -70. How about that? Isn’t the opportunity I created for you great?” Little Cutie immediately reported.

Tang Wan immediately said, “Shut up! You…do you want me to die again?”

She urged Tang Yitong, “Hurry up and reach out to the Police Uncle!”

Tang Yitong gave her a unfathomable look, then silently stretched out his hand towards the broken car window.

Soon, his thin body was pulled out by the officers.

…

The driver, Lǎo Li, was also pulled out of the front window. Only Tang Wan was left in the car.

Unfortunately, her leg was trapped under the car seat. If they don’t push the car right-side up, she might not be able to free her leg.

Seeing this, Tang Wan was speechless. She was simply using her life to woo the villain!
