Chapter 819: Chapter 821: Fire of the Eight Diagrams

"Alright, I agree with you." Tang Rong was beaming with joy in her heart. Xiao Yifei actually repeated the same words twice, showing that she still held some weight in his heart.

Shi Miaomiao had also finished her overtime and returned. As soon as she entered the bedroom and put down her bag, Tang Rong pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Tang Rong’s face filled with undisguisable joy, Miaomiao, unaware of what happened that evening, casually said, "Looks like today’s blind date went well. Did you fall for that person?"

"Miaomiao, don’t mention that person to me again; he’s just a scumbag who was hoping to take advantage of me while I was unconscious."

Shi Miaomiao was startled upon hearing that: "No way, that’s so scary. But there must be something good that happened, look at the smile you can’t hide on your face."

Tang Rong was about to share with Miaomiao when Miaomiao quickly grabbed her hand: "Don’t rush to tell, let me guess. Did Brother Xiao play the hero and save the beauty, then confess to you? I called you at ten, and it was Brother Xiao who answered. Am I right?"

"You guessed half right. It was Xiao Yifei who saved me, but he hasn’t confessed to me yet. He just said that I must tell him if anything happens in the future. But I can tell he likes me; he just doesn’t dare to tell me. I don’t know what he’s afraid of." Tang Rong said, a bit shyly.

Hearing such a juicy piece of gossip, Shi Miaomiao quickly took off her coat, shook Tang Rong’s arm, "Sister Rong, quick, quick, tell me the details, very detailed, including expressions and actions, don’t leave anything out."

"Go wash up first, let me calm my excited heart, and then I’ll tell you slowly." Tang Rong had been waiting for Shi Miaomiao to come back from work to share this good news, but now she felt a bit shy and didn’t know how to start, feeling so embarrassed that her face turned red.

"Okay, Sister Rong, I’ll be back in two minutes, wait for me." Shi Miaomiao hurried to the bathroom. Sure enough, the allure of gossip was enormous. Shi Miaomiao returned in less than two minutes, wiping her face with a towel. "Sister Rong, start your show!" Miaomiao said, full of excitement.

Then she sat on the bed, opened some bottles and jars, and started applying them, but her eyes stayed glued to Tang Rong’s mouth as she spoke, afraid she might miss any detail.

"...That’s how things happened. I’ve told you everything I remember, including the small details." Tang Rong recounted the day’s events to Miaomiao again. When she talked about Xiao Yifei, her eyes sparkled like little stars in the sky, and she couldn’t help but smile, just like a girl in love.

"Sister Rong, Brother Xiao definitely likes you. Look how much he cares for you. He’s showing it so clearly. When can you two be together for real? By then, don’t dislike me as a third wheel and kick me out. Sister Rong, I can’t wait to see you two together."

"I’m not in a hurry, why are you?" Tang Rong joked, "You know that saying, ’The emperor isn’t anxious...’ "

"Sister Rong, why are you like this? I’m doing it for your good, hoping you’ll find happiness soon. I didn’t expect you to insult me in a roundabout way. Ungrateful person, just leave, I need to rest." Miaomiao pretended to be angry, pushing Tang Rong towards the door.

Tang Rong knew Miaomiao had a tiring day and should rest, so she went along with Miaomiao’s push, walking towards the door while saying, "Then I’ll be the ungrateful person and leave. You take a rest. I’ll treat you to dinner this weekend."

"Then I’ll wait, hoping for some good news to share by then." Shi Miaomiao was still very excited, feeling like she had found herself a boyfriend.

Tang Rong looked at the childlike Miaomiao. Such a girl is really lovable, beautiful, kind-hearted to everyone, and even when she’s being coquettish, it doesn’t annoy people. If any boy could win Miaomiao’s favor, it would indeed be his great fortune.

At noon the next day, Tang Rong was having lunch at work when her mom called. Seeing the caller ID, she dared not answer and set her phone to silent mode. But she didn’t expect her mom to be so persistent, calling six or seven times in a row, like a deathly chain of calls.

With no other option, Tang Rong sent a text: "I’m currently working overtime and in a meeting; can we talk when I get home?" Though Tang Rong usually seemed fearless, in front of her mother, she was as timid as a mouse seeing a cat.

No more calls came after that, and Tang Rong let out a sigh of relief. Her mom was probably calling about the blind date. This time it wasn’t really her fault, but her dad’s work and the family business would definitely be affected. She needed to carefully think about how to explain it to her mom.

Tang Rong found it frustrating. This feeling of an uncontrollable life was really terrible. She had been working hard all along just so she could one day refuse things she didn’t like without any reservations. Yet, after all her efforts, there were still so many unavoidable and powerless things in life.

After work, on the way home, Tang Rong called her mother: "Hi, Mom, I just got off work. What did you want to talk about this noon?"

"I’m downstairs at your place; let’s talk in person when you get back." Tang Rong could hear the barely restrained anger in her mom’s voice, and she was a little afraid to go home. But things had come to this point, so she had to face it head-on. She couldn’t have imagined her lazy mother would actually come to her home, a sign of how angry she was.

Tang Rong nervously entered the residential area and saw her mother waiting downstairs. She walked over anxiously, forcing a smile: "Mom, what’s so important that it needed you to come personally?"

"Let’s go upstairs and talk." Her mother ignored Tang Rong’s cautious attempts to appease her.

Tang Rong had bought the house quite some time ago, but this was only the second time her mother had visited, the first being during the move. Initially, Tang Rong invited her mother several times: "Mom, you can come over when you have time, just to get some fresh air."

"I’ll come when I have time," her mom always deflected with this line. After a while, Tang Rong stopped bringing it up, knowing her mother didn’t like going out, especially since there was a considerable distance between their homes, and the bus ride alone took several hours.

When they got inside, her mom saw a pair of men’s shoes at the door and knew that Xia Bing hadn’t lied. Her long-held anger finally erupted: "You have a boyfriend, such a big deal, and you didn’t bother to tell me?"

Tang Rong was utterly confused. When did I have a boyfriend? How come I don’t know about it? She found it inexplicably funny and realized her mom was referring to Xiao Yifei.

"Mom, you’re mistaken. He’s just my tenant. I told you about this before; this place is too big for me to live alone, so I rented out two of the rooms to make some extra money!"
