Chapter 839: Chapter 839

After Su Yifei and Tang Ya left, Fang Bai looked at the quietly blushing Tang Wenrou, who was looking down without speaking, and softly asked.

He knew that Tang Wenrou was filled with silent resentment and was in a bad mood. He wanted to comfort her with a few words, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong standing nearby, he could not make any intimate gestures. Otherwise, he would have already grabbed Tang Wenrou’s hand and pulled her into his embrace, coaxing her with sweet words.

"I... I don’t want to talk to you!"

Tang Wenrou raised her head, gave Fang Bai a resentful look, then bit her lip and walked away with heavy steps.

"Officer Tang’s jealousy is quite strong!"

Xia Chenyu crossed her arms and, looking at Tang Wenrou’s retreating figure, chuckled.

Fang Bai shrugged his shoulders, seeing Tang Wenrou returned to her mother’s side, and felt it inappropriate to follow her.

"Wen Rou, what’s wrong?"

Liu Hongzhuang noticed her daughter’s unhappy face and asked with concern.

Tang Wenrou responded gloomily.

Tang Wenrou really wished she could become an ostrich at that moment and bury her head in the sand, so she wouldn’t have to see Fang Bai together with Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong, adopting an ’out of sight, out of mind’ approach.

"What are you mother and daughter whispering about?"

Tang Chongshan, having just finished exchanging pleasantries with several elders from the Su Family, returned with a smile and noticed his wife and daughter seemed to be discussing something, so he asked.

Liu Hongzhuang said, "Our beloved daughter seems a bit unhappy."

Tang Chongshan looked at his daughter and said with a laugh, "Who has upset our Wen Rou? Tell daddy, and I’ll take care of it for you!"

"If only you could handle it!"

Tang Wenrou muttered under her breath and glanced over at Fang Bai.

Tang Chongshan followed her gaze to Fang Bai and suddenly realized, and said, "Are you having a misunderstanding with Fang Bai?"

Tang Wenrou bit her lip and remained silent.

A father knows his daughter best.

Although his daughter and Fang Bai had never openly acknowledged their relationship, as someone who had been through it all, Tang Chongshan could tell that not only did his daughter like Fang Bai, but she was also so deeply in love that she couldn’t pull herself away.

Sometimes, Tang Chongshan would find his daughter sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard, hands propping up her cheeks, her face involuntarily revealing a "silly smile," seemingly recalling some blissful, sweet moments, a reaction only a girl deep in love would have.

Tang Chongshan was a very open-minded father who rarely interfered in his daughter’s affairs. Since his daughter liked Fang Bai, and Fang Bai indeed seemed to be a fine person, he chose to Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.

However, as parents, Tang Chongshan and Liu Hongzhuang occasionally wanted to ask how things were progressing between their daughter and Fang Bai. But whenever they brought it up, Tang Wenrou would cover her ears and run away, refusing to say anything, leaving the couple both amused and helpless.

In Tang Chongshan’s view, a little strife between a couple in love was perfectly normal. Plus, he didn’t think his daughter was genuinely angry with Fang Bai by the looks of her current demeanor.

"President Xia from the Beauty Company and the young lady Linglong from the Su Family... they seem to get along very well with Fang Bai!"

Liu Hongzhuang was more concerned about Fang Bai, who might potentially become her son-in-law, than her husband was. She glanced towards Fang Bai and saw Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong standing on either side of him, the trio chatting joyfully. She couldn’t help frowning slightly and whispered.

Tang Chongshan had just been exchanging pleasantries with the Su Family and hadn’t paid much attention to Fang Bai’s situation. Hearing his wife’s comments, he started observing closely and after a while, he too realized that the relationship between Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu, and Su Linglong wasn’t merely platonic, and he began to frown.

"I heard that Linglong and Fang Bai used to be classmates at Zhongzhou Medical College, and now they work together at the same hospital in Yanjing. Their relationship must be quite good as classmates and colleagues. As for President Xia from the Beauty Company... Hongzhuang, have you forgotten? Last time, during the Beauty Company’s product quality crisis, Fang Bai appeared as the Vice President of the Beauty Company..."

"Oh... I remember now!"

Reminded by her husband, Liu Hongzhuang realized and said, "At that time, Fang Bai revealed a video of Shen Huanian and Li Dongyang conspiring to sabotage the Beauty Company. Both the Shen Family and the Li Family were disgraced and lost their reputation terribly, helping the Beauty Company to turn the tide beautifully! But it’s strange, when did Fang Bai get involved with the Beauty Company? How did he become the Vice President?"

Tang Chongshan said, "Who knows! When I have the time, I’ll ask that young man Fang Bai what’s going on!"

Tang Wenrou knew somewhat about Fang Bai’s involvement with the Beauty Company, as Fang Bai had told her some details. Her lips moved, she wanted to tell her parents, but then thought it would be inappropriate, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately decided not to speak.

Liu Hongzhuang said, "Girls in love are usually very sensitive. Could it be that our daughter is upset seeing Fang Bai together with Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong?"

Tang Chongshan sighed, "Maybe Wenrou is overthinking it, maybe Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu, and Su Linglong are just friends."

Liu Hongzhuang looked towards Fang Bai again and then slightly shook her head, whispering softly, "But I feel that Fang Bai’s relationship with those two girls is not ordinary... A woman’s intuition is sometimes very accurate!"

She paused, then added, "Chongshan, what if Fang Bai really gets together with Xia Chenyu or Su Linglong? What about our daughter? She’s just come out of the shadow of Jianfei’s sacrifice and has fallen for Fang Bai. If Fang Bai’s affection shifts to another girl, how big a blow would that be to our daughter!"

Tang Chongshan pondered, "Although I haven’t had much interaction with that lad Fang Bai, he doesn’t seem like someone who easily tires of old relationships... Hmm, Fang Bai is a very outstanding young man, very likely to be liked by girls. Maybe it’s Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong who are actively pursuing him?"

Liu Hongzhuang worried, "Even so, our daughter doesn’t stand a chance! You know our daughter’s personality—aloof and not fond of communicating. How could she compete with Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong?"

The couple kept their voices very low, not wanting their daughter to overhear and feel upset.

Little did they know, their daughter was now a Profound Level Martial Artist, and given their proximity, even with their quiet voices, she could hear everything clearly.

Upon hearing her mother’s last words, Tang Wenrou’s expression darkened as she thought to herself that her mother was right. Compared to Xia Chenyu and Su Linglong, she held no advantages. How could she possibly compete with them?

Her relationship with Fang Bai might end up being nothing but a waste of effort, wouldn’t it?
