Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 892: 892 We’re All Family

“You’re here?” Tan Rou rushed over when she saw Zhuang Liu. “Why didn’t you call me to tell me you were here?”

“I sent you five messages and called you three times, but you didn’t pick up,” Zhuang Liu said sadly.

Only then did Tan Rou remember that she had put her phone aside when she was competing with Yu Can. She had also turned it to silent mode. She had not gone over to pick it up after the competition and had gone straight to the greenhouse outside.

“I’m sorry. I was busy with something else just now and didn’t notice the message you sent on my phone. How long have you been standing here?” Tan Rou apologized. “Are you cold?”

Zhuang Liu didn’t blame Tan Rou. He smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter how long it is as long as I’m waiting for you.”

“You can still be so talkative. It seems like you’re not cold enough.” Tan Rou rebuked.

Zhuang Liu smiled and handed the box in his hand to Tan Rou. “It’s almost the New Year. I probably won’t have the chance to see you again before the New Year, so I wanted to give this to you first.”

Tan Rou thought that the box looked familiar. “Hey, I remember that Xiao Mo used the same box to send cherries back then.”

“Yes, the cherries are inside. They still fresh.” Ever since he found out that Tan Rou liked cherries, he bought orchards all over the world where cherries could be used to cultivate new varieties of cherries. However, the fruit that was delivered today was not a new variety. It was the fruit of a finished fruit seedling that he bought elsewhere. If he wanted the new variety to bear fruit, he would have to wait a few years.

!!..

Tan Ron’s family background was almost equivalent to Zhuang Liu’s. She could have as many cherries as she wanted, but even so, Zhuang Liu still persevered and sent her cherries.

“There are two boxes today. You can eat with Uncle and Auntie. I’ll get someone to send it over next time, but 1 might not have time to come over.” Zhuang Liu had come today to meet Tan Rou. Ever since Tan Rou had returned home from the holidays, he had not seen her. Although he had been video calling her every day, video calling was not as good as chatting in person. Tan Rou knew that Zhuang Liu was very busy. The company’s matters and the matters of his second uncle and second aunt had not been resolved. As it got closer to New Year, the more turmoil there would be. Zhuang Liu did not even have enough rest time, so how could he have the time to look for her?

Zhuang Liu could have gotten someone to run errands for him. At worst, he could have asked Xiao Mo to send them over. However, Zhuang Liu didn’t do much. He sent the cherries over to show his respect for Tan Rou and her family.

“Are you free today?” Tan Rou asked as she took a box of cherries.

Zhuang Liu replied, “Yes.” To come and see Tan Rou, he had specially worked overtime to finish his work. Then, he had half a day free to spend with Tan Rou.

“Then come in and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. Please, Mr. Zhuang,” Tan Rou said with a smile.

Zhuang Liu was stunned. “Can I go in?”

“Why can’t you go in?” Tan Rou asked in confusion.

“I…” Zhuang Liu looked at his slightly wrinkled suit and said regretfully, “I should have changed into a more handsome set of clothes.”

Tan Rou held his hand. “Let’s go. We’re all family. Why are you so bothered about this?”

They were a family…

Zhuang Liu’s mind kept repeating these words. Rourou said that they were a family. Could they get married soon? He was the happiest man in the world.

Tan Rou first brought Zhuang Liu to meet Tao Zhi and the others. Then, she introduced Yu Can. “Ah Liu, these are my eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother. You’ve already met them. This is my second cousin Yu Can. He just returned to the country.”

“What did you just call me?” Zhuang Liu suddenly glanced at Tan Rou and asked in surprise.

“All Liu!” Tan Rou said naturally. “Can’t I? I felt that calling you third brother didn’t sound nice, so I changed the way I addressed you.”

Zhuang Liu felt as if fireworks were blooming in his head. “Sure, sure. You can call me whatever you want.”

Yu Can look warily at this man who was much more handsome than him.. “Who are you? What does it have to do with my sister?” He hadn’t even said a few words to his sister, so why was another man here to snatch her away?
