Because she couldn't make a guarantee, she didn't know how to answer Dong Lingjiu for a while. Xia Tan'er could only ignore the topic first and poked Dong Lingjiu directly into the root cause behind his words.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, tell me what's wrong with you?"
Today's Dong Ling Jiu is indeed very strange. There have been scenes of coquettishness in the past, but he is not as straightforward as today. He usually blurts out his words after being clingy, and then the two of them live in harmony and rub each other's cheeks.
There was a bit of urgency in his appearance today, and Xia Tan'er felt that something must have happened to make Dong Lingjiu behave like this.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you promised me before that you would not hide anything from me."
Xia Tan'er loosened her hand around Dong Lingjiu's neck, leaned back slightly, and looked at Dong Lingjiu with a serious face.
The more silent you are, the more fishy you are! Xia Tan'er doesn't like two people concealing anything other than necessary. Sometimes it's because of these concealments that lead to information gaps that lead to unhappy endings.
But she was already so serious, but Dong Lingjiu still didn't say a word and just buried his head on Xia Tan'er's shoulder.
Conflicts that are not resolved will only get deeper and deeper. Xia Tan'er has no patience at all in this regard. Seeing that Dong Lingjiu is not going to speak, Xia Tan'er gets up from his arms and leaves to let Dong Lingjiu calm down.
But just as he stood up, he was pushed back by a strong hand. Dong Lingjiu hugged Xia Tan'er tightly and refused to let go at all, as if he could not feel at ease unless Xia Tan'er made a guarantee.
If you are too hard, you have to be soft. It seems that Dong Lingjiu was very hurt because of this incident. Xia Tan'er sighed and decided to comfort her first and then persuade Dong Lingjiu to talk about it.
She stood up slightly and hugged Dong Lingjiu, letting him bury him on her chest. Xia Tan'er gently stroked Dong Lingjiu's hair like a stray puppy.
"You should let me know the whole story first, then I can tell you no. If you do something bad and ask me to promise you like this, I won't do it."
"You know me, I won't promise anything until I find out."
After listening to Xia Tan'er's words, Dong Lingjiu's mood seemed to be much more stable. He asked Xia Tan'er in a low voice.
"What if you did something wrong?"
"Me? What did I do wrong?"
After thinking about it, Xia Tan'er never realized that she had done something wrong. She was neither flirtatious nor flirting with other men, nor was she trying to do two things. It was indeed a bit unfair that this charge was pinned on her head.
"When I came back after doing my business, I saw no one in your yard and the lights in your room were not lit, so I sent a secret guard to ask about your whereabouts. He said that Xue Chen had been drugged in the palace. Yu Wenyue invited you. You really went to Xue’s house to treat him.”
"Yeah, it's true."
Xia Tan'er was confused. She was a doctor and she would treat Xue Chen's eyes later. Isn't it normal to invite her over? What's wrong?
What's more, she didn't hide it from Dong Lingjiu. If Dong Lingjiu asked, she would tell him about it without reservation, so what exactly was wrong.
"I was worried about your safety. I was afraid that Xue Chen was plotting against you, so I secretly followed you into Xue's mansion. I never thought that I would see you all sitting together in Xue's mansion, laughing and laughing."
"At that moment, I felt that Tan'er, you and Xue Chen were a family."
Dong Lingjiu muttered his grievances and buried his head deeper.
The scene at that time really hurt Dong Lingjiu's heart so deeply that he still can't let it go.
