Tang Xu hesitated and frowned, deep in thought. She had her weakness, so she had to be careful when she interacted with Shen Lo. Otherwise … It was very likely that his body would be smashed into smithereens and he would suffer a miserable fate.

The phone continued to ring, interrupting Tang Xu's train of thought. Strings and strands of voices rose and fell like a talisman, forcing her to make up her mind.

Forget it.

Tang Xu frowned. He recalled that he had been carefully taking care of Shen Lu this year. In the end, he chose to temporarily forget about Meng Xingzhan's stern warning.

"Hello?" Tang Xu answered the phone, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Tang Xu?" Pei's voice was filled with concern. "Your voice is a bit hoarse. Are you sick?"

Pei is a warm-hearted man, every time Tang Xu, even more so.

Having called more than twenty times, not only was he not impatient, but when he heard Tang Xu's unusual voice, he immediately chose to be concerned.

Tang Xu was somewhat touched. Pei Zi Yun really had nothing to say to her. Every word he said was true love.

Unlike Meng Xing Zhang, every time the two of them met, they would clash head on with each other. It was as if the man really wanted to eat her alive.

"I didn't go to work today. I had a cold."

Tang Xu's voice unconsciously softened, the corners of his mouth even carrying a faint smile.

"A cold?!" Pei's voice carried a hint of urgency, and before long, the sound of clothes could be heard, "I'm coming over now, don't go out. Have you applied for leave at the company?" "If there wasn't …"

"I've already taken leave." Tang Xu interrupted Shen Lo and said softly, "Come here."

He could use this opportunity to explain the situation.

She didn't want to bear that nightmare from three years ago. Rather than being threatened by Meng Xingzhang every day, she might as well confess to Shen Lu.

"Okay." The voice answered, followed by the sound of the engine starting.

After Tang Xu and Pei Zi Yun said to be careful while driving, they hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

Eat your breakfast and then your cold medicine.

Pei arrived half an hour later.

Tang Xu opened the door and greeted Shen Lu's worried gaze with a smile, "You're here, take a seat."

There were some fruits of the season on the tea table in the living room. The room was very clean and there were no stains on the door and windows.

This was Shen Lo's first visit to Tang Xu's apartment.

Although he knew the address of Tang Xu's apartment, he had never taken even half a step in this past year.

"I'll take you to the hospital, it's better if you go to the hospital when you're sick." Seeing Tang Xu's pale face, Pei's expression was filled with heartache.

Tang Xu shook his head, "I've already been to the hospital. I've already taken the medicine, and the doctor said that there won't be any major problems. You don't have to worry."

"It's all because I was too careless, causing you to be sick." Pei Zi Yun frowned slightly as he walked over to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water for Tang Xu, "It's better if you drink more hot water when you're cold."

"It's not your fault. I didn't notice it when I was sleeping. I kicked the blanket."

Of course, this was just an excuse.

As for the real reason for her illness, she didn't want to mention it again.

"Then, how about this, we definitely didn't sleep well when we went to the hospital early in the morning." Pei grabbed Tang Xu's shoulder, "Go to sleep. After taking your medicine, you might feel better in your sleep."

Tang Xu bit his pale lips and said with some hesitation, "I have something I want to say to you …"

He shook his head and said, "Health is the most important thing. You should go to sleep first. If you have anything to say, you should wait until after you wake up, alright?"

Saying so, he opened the door to Tang Xu's bedroom, pulling her down onto the bed, taking off her outer clothes affectionately and covering her with a blanket.

"I'm going out to buy some food. I'll cook something delicious for you at noon. Don't let your thoughts run wild, go to sleep. Do you hear me?" Shen Lu pretended to be serious as she spoke to Tang Xu with a hint of patience that could coax children.

Frustrated, Tang Xu gave up and nodded, following Pei.

After much effort, the courage was diluted by Shen Lu's meticulous care. At the end of the day, he was actually lusting after the warmth given by Pei Zi Yun, and was reluctant to let go.

Originally, he had planned to explain the old story to Pei Zi Yun. At that time, it was up to him whether Pei Zi Yun would break up with her or not.

However, after being interrupted like this by Shen Lu, she hesitated again.

Shen Lo likes pure women. If he knew what she did, he would probably hate her, right?

Burying his head under the blanket, Tang Xu covered his face in annoyance.

The phone rang again.

Tang Xu pulled back the quilt, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and casually picked it up, forgetting to look at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"He's really amazing …" The deep male voice carried a hidden anger, "You didn't let me in, but you let me in. Woman, you hook, you pull, a man's skill is really not bad!"

Tang Xu's beautiful eyes widened.

It was Meng Xing Zhang!

Didn't he already leave? How did he know that Pei came to her house?

Unsatisfied with Tang Xu's silence, Meng Xingzhang continued, "I was worried that you'd be left alone at home with no one to take care of you. I drove halfway and then drove back …" "I didn't expect to see Pei Shen come to your apartment. Tang Xu, you really don't want to be lonely. I really didn't give you enough last night, did I?"

"I guess so. You're so hungry and thirsty that you need a few more men to satisfy you. You're so shameless. You just got into the car with me last night, and now you're letting Pei into your bachelor apartment …"

You shut up for me

He specifically emphasized the word "single".

After Tang Xu heard Meng Xing Zhang's words, his face turned completely red, "Meng Xing Zhang, shut up!"

He had gone too far!

"Are you calling to humiliate me? Well, you did it. Congratulations! " His subconscious wanted to hang up, but Meng Xingzhang did not intend to let it go.

"I advise you to break up with Pei as soon as possible. Woman, I'm warning you, when the time comes, I won't just reveal the matter to you. It won't be as simple as embarrassing you!"

Meng Xing Zhang's tone wasn't good. He spat out these words with a threatening tone.

Tang Xu retorted, "You're not giving me time, just break up?" Meng Xingzhang, is there something wrong with your head? Would Pei not check it out? When the time comes, what benefits will there be for me? "

Meng Xing Zhang sneered, "I don't care. You decide. If I ever get in a bad mood and tell you about what happened to me, don't blame me!"

He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!

Tang Xu, that slut, refused to let him in her door, and instead let Shen Lu in to take care of him?

It seemed like she didn't have the slightest intention of breaking up with Shen Lu!

"Meng Xing Zhang, don't be too overbearing!" After Tang Xu had finished cursing, he coughed, the last sound even breaking out of his throat, carrying with it a dull and depressing feeling.

Meng Xing Zhang was silent for a moment, trying his best to calm his anger. He said coldly, "I can give you a little more time, but I have a condition."

Tang Xu's breathing became a little shallow, "What condition?"

"When you consider breaking up with Shen Lu, you must maintain a certain distance from him. You are destined to break up with him. During this period of time, you should not interact with him too much. At that time, it would be more natural to break up with him."

"Can you do it?"

Meng Xing Zhang's voice was filled with a domineering and forceful tone that couldn't be ignored.
