Chapter 116 Not as Good as She Wanted
She hadn't even noticed the screen during the entire car ride. Perhaps he'd just bought some stomach medicine and given her a Band-Aid, and the iodine and cotton swabs were a favor he'd bought her.
Oh, she actually asked such a stupid question for some unknown reason. What answer was she waiting for?
Tang Xin laughed at herself, then cheered up and said, "Thank you."
Jin Taize glanced at her calmly and said, "Sit down, it's time to go home."
It was just a coincidence. I guess Jin Taize himself didn't think too much about it when he bought it. It seems unnecessary for her to attach too much meaning to this matter. There is no need to worry about it.
Tang Xin nodded in response and looked ahead at the car lights.
The car drove to Tang Xin's door.
Tang Xin got out of the car first. Jin Taize took out the box of throat lozenges he had bought from the medicine bag, put them in his pocket, and got out of the car with the bag in hand.
Tang Xin had already opened the back door and was about to reach in to get her big package, but she felt a strong force clamping around her waist, and her body was embedded in the hard and hot body. She was picked up from behind by Jin Taize's arm. Because she was still in the crouching position, she looked like a small shrimp when she was lifted from the ground.
Regardless of the night, Tang Xin furiously slapped the man's hand and shouted, "What are you doing? Put him down now."
There weren't many people in the neighborhood at this time of year, and Jin Taize didn't really care whether he drank or not. He'd been called a hooligan before. But her stubbornness irritated him. He was a grown man, and she was using the strong labor force, but she insisted on doing it herself, as if she was eager to draw a line between them.
She calculated it too clearly. Even if he gave her a little bit, she would be eager to calculate the value and repay her.
He was used to seeing women approaching him for various reasons, either aiming to get into his bed or marry into the Jin family. Beneath their glamorous exteriors, he couldn't see a trace of beauty, but instead, endless lust and greed. He had never met a woman quite like her, someone who wanted to settle everything with him, leaving him without a trace.
Seeing her avoiding him as if she were avoiding a flood or a beast, without breaking the rules or getting involved, his heart felt like the cracked land in the drought season, dry and astringent.
Well, he just wasn't what she wanted.
Jin Taize put Tang Xin down and opened the back door. He leaned over to get into the car and took out the package.
I know he means well, but even this crude, uncivilized, savage-like action is truly speechless. Tang Xin reached out to take it. "Give it to me, thank you."
Before she could finish her words, Jin Taize turned around and walked to the steps at the entrance of the building, looking at her calmly.
Tang Xin couldn't help but frown and look at him for a long time - is he going to send her up?
"Why, you're not going up?"
Tang Xin was in a daze for a moment, nodded, cleared his throat awkwardly, and walked forward.
Honestly, she'd never brought a man home before. Especially not at this late hour, when her parents weren't home. But Jin Tae-jae rushed to carry the package simply because her hand was injured, and he wanted to be a gentleman. She really couldn't judge a gentleman by her own standards; that would make her seem ungrateful.
Jin Taize had rarely been inside this somewhat old-fashioned building. Because it wasn't very high, there was no elevator, so going upstairs was a walk. With each floor he ascended, the hallway's sensor lights lit up.
When she reached the third floor, Tang Xin stopped at the door of the innermost unit.
The rustling noise outside attracted the sound of little paws clacking on the floor inside.
The key turned in the lock and the door opened. Jin Taize followed Tang Xin in, and suddenly there was a furry, wheezing little creature under his feet.
Tang Xin turned on the light, and the puppy's tail wagged like a rattle, and its two front paws stomped on the ground like drumbeats.
She called softly, "Zhigang."
Jin Taize, who was following behind, froze. Thinking of how she teased him about the dog last night, a row of black lines appeared on his face.
