Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Do You Like Me or Not

Tu Hengsha held onto those words, her heart bubbling over with sweetness.

She discovered that every word that came out of Xiao Xu’s mouth was unpleasant. If he wasn’t calling her stupid, he was calling her ugly. When pressed, he could stop talking, but what he wrote down was so enticing, wasn’t it? Could this be a perk of wielding the pen?

She decided to let him expand on this perk!

She started texting: Xiao Xu, do you like me?

After sending it, she clutched her phone, eyes full of little hearts, waiting for a reply.

Finally, the phone buzzed, and the reply came: What do you think?

What she said? Of course, she said she liked him! She knew he liked her! If he didn’t like her, why would he want to marry her? But could what she said be the same as what he said?

She replied drearily: I say I don’t like you!

Boyfriend’s terrible at chatting, isn’t he?

Then his reply came: Yeah, today Bangbangtang also said it didn’t like Little Bone.

Hmph! Sentences like Bangbangtang likes Little Bone are not at all poetic or romantic! It doesn’t match his renowned Chenjiang pen name!

She originally wanted to ask him when he started liking her, but she gave up. There wouldn’t be the answer she wanted!

She tossed the phone aside and didn’t want to chat anymore.

However, after a while, there was another buzz. She picked it up and saw: Why aren’t you talking?

She replied helplessly: You’ve killed the conversation!

After waiting a while, he sent: Little Bone, go to bed early. Don’t mess around. See you tomorrow, silly girl!

So she was a silly girl! Why did seeing a phrase like Little Bone make her heart overflow with joy? Seizing the moment, she replied: See you tomorrow, Bangbangtang!

He was the one who said he was the puppy! At least she got her revenge this time!

After being off work for three days, she returned to the press office to find that Hao Ren’s report on the Liu Hong murder case was trending, but there was no interview content regarding Liu Hong’s daughter.

"The little girl probably needs psychological counseling and isn’t willing to see strangers," Hao Ren said.

Tu Hengsha recalled that little girl covered in bruises, feeling a wave of sadness. "We are still doing too little."

"I want to do a special report on domestic violence. I am curious, what makes women in marriage endure again and again? You’re a woman, can you explain?" Hao Ren asked.

She shook her head, "As far as I’m concerned, domestic violence happens either once or countless times. I don’t understand how high tolerance can go; I can’t stand it."

"So, this afternoon, I plan to go to the Women’s Federation to understand the situation. Will you come?"

"Of course!" Tu Hengsha replied promptly, "Do you have any plans for the morning?"

"I do! Just about to head out, let’s carry the equipment."

Tu Hengsha took the equipment, and as she was about to head out with Hao Ren, Chen Qi came in with a new bag, very eye-catching. Immediately, a young lady from the press went over to admire it, exclaiming, "I need to work hard to earn money and buy a bag too!"

Tu Hengsha thought of the expensive pants Chen Qi had lent her. To spend like Chen Qi, with their salaries, would require incredible effort.

Hao Ren glanced at her expression, "If you like it, let Mr. Su buy it for you! You’re already his, so why not let him spend a bit?"

Tu Hengsha immediately retorted, "What do you mean by ’his’? I’m not his, okay! I’m still innocent!" She turned and strode toward the elevator.

Hao Ren laughed, "What I meant was, you showed up at his grandma’s funeral as his granddaughter-in-law. Doesn’t that mean you’re his? Where was your mind?"

Tu Hengsha blushed, "I wasn’t thinking anything!"

The two stood at the elevator door chatting, and Hao Ren added, "Remember to have Mr. Su buy it for you, don’t let him off easy!"

"Am I foolish? His money is my money! Cheating him is cheating myself!" she rebutted immediately. But then, the elevator door opened, and Mr. Su appeared with a slight smile.

Tu Hengsha patted her forehead. Did she have to always chat near the elevator? Never again!

"Heading out?" Mr. Su gently took her hand.

"Yeah, I’m leaving now, bye." She walked into the elevator with her head down, ignoring the giggling Hao Ren.

As the elevator door slowly closed, Mr. Su outside didn’t leave, watching her with an indescribable expression until the door shut completely.

Hao Ren burst out laughing in the elevator, "I should’ve lured you into saying something bad about him, like last time."

Tu Hengsha glared at him speechless.

Spending the day out and about with Hao Ren, they emerged from the Women’s Federation in the evening.

Hao Ren had gathered some information on domestic violence but found that hardly anyone wanted to be interviewed when he reached out to them.

Hao Ren was quite dejected, "These are the ones who’ve sought help at the Women’s Federation. There are many more who suffer in silence, and nobody knows about them. Let’s call it a day. I’ll take the subway from here. What about you?"

Tu Hengsha was about to say she’d take the subway too, but then her phone rang.

"Look, here comes your loser!" Hao Ren laughed.

She glanced and saw it was indeed him.

"Hello?"

"Where are you? Are you done? I’ll come pick you up."

Three questions in a row made Tu Hengsha shrug, "I won’t take the subway, bye."

Hao Ren couldn’t help but laugh at her for prioritizing romance over friendship, but so what? However, Tu Hengsha didn’t expect that he’d take her for a shopping trip instead.

"You seem pretty familiar with shopping!" Tu Hengsha followed him around the women’s section. It was obvious he often accompanied Su Rongxing shopping.

He kept quiet, just selecting clothes for her, then making her try them on.

Bought several outfits!

At checkout, he let her use her card, "Don’t save money for me. Keeper of the house, sometimes cheating me a bit will motivate me to earn more to support the family."

"..." This was poking fun at the silly things she said near the elevator this morning! She mumbled, "Whose family? Your own! Nothing to do with me!"

He ignored it, taking her to buy shoes, socks, pajamas, and even slippers, a particularly cute pink pair.

How should she put it? Tu Hengsha hadn’t had much shopping experience over the years. Growing up alone, except for necessities, she never felt like enjoying the fun of shopping.

But it was different with him.

He carried all the stuff while she held his arm, wandering aimlessly in the bustling mall. It was a completely new experience.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pulled him along for a small run.

He followed her into the mall’s arcade, filled with students and youngsters.

"You want to play?" He had never been to a place like this.

"Come on!" She excitedly took him to exchange coins and then, leading him on a "tour," asked, "What do you want to play?"

"I... don’t know." This area was truly unfamiliar to him. He had seen Su Rongcheng bring home video games as a child but had never touched them. It wasn’t that Su Rongcheng didn’t invite him; it was that his mother wouldn’t allow it.
