Chapter 1320: The Story of Tang An and His Wife's Youth

ight smile."Honey, welcome home from work.""This welcome sounds very perfunctory." Tang Yucheng heard her call him "Husband," and his mood suddenly lifted a bit. He caught sight of her eyes fixated o...Teacher Li asked him to wait a moment, she had to hand over all the children to their parents first.

Tang Yu stood anxiously by the side.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, Teacher Li finally handed all the children over to their parents and sent them home.

She didn't invite Tang Yuceng into the kindergarten either. She walked to a corner and whispered, "About ten days ago, Rabbit's parents came to the kindergarten to withdraw him. They told us that Rabbit was sick, but they didn't say what illness he had. We didn't dare to ask."

“Seeing that the rabbit’s parents were in a hurry, the principal quickly processed their withdrawal procedures. The other day I tried calling Anjia to ask about Rabbit's situation, but the phone went unanswered. Yesterday I also visited Rabbit’s house and met Anjia’s neighbor, who told me that Mr. An and his family sold their house and moved away.”

Actually, the rabbit parents had instructed their school not to tell anyone about the rabbits being sick.

For more than half a semester, she'd watched the boy in front of her getting close to Anjia. She couldn't bear to see him kept in the dark.

This news was a bolt from the blue for Tang Yucheng.

Moved, moved away

He had only returned to Beisicheng for a short while, yet his world had been turned upside down.

The rabbit is sick. What kind of illness does it have It needs Uncle An and Aunt An to sell the house…

But before he returned to Beis City, the rabbit fell ill with a fever. He also took the rabbit to the hospital for a checkup. However, it wasn't a most comprehensive checkup, and they didn't do a cancer screening.

Because the rabbit said its heart felt bad, that time mainly checked the internal organs.

Tang Yucheng said thank you to his teacher and then left the kindergarten in a daze.

He unwillingly went back to the house one more time.

Standing at the door, he knocked for a long time. The knocking probably woke up the neighbor, and a woman came out of the house and recognized him.

"Hey, aren't you Rabbit's boyfriend It's been a while since I've seen you. By the way, Rabbit and they moved out a while ago, this house has already been sold."

"Auntie Chen, did Uncle An and Auntie An tell you where they moved to" Tang Yucheng asked in a hushed voice.

"No. Actually, I don't know when they moved. The other day, I ran into a real estate agent showing the house to clients, so I casually asked, and found out that Rabbit and his family sold the house. I don't know where they went." The woman replied.

Tang Yu met the city's difficulties and said with difficulty, "Thank you!"

Then he turned and left.

As he walked down the stairs, he suddenly punched the wall in regret for not noticing until today that the power was out.

Perhaps Uncle An and Aunt An thought of him when they found out Bunny was sick, considering his financial situation might not allow for medical expenses. However, they were unable to reach him countless times, so they had no choice but to sell their house.

Besides, what kind of illness did the rabbit get

to the extent of selling a house.

The Tang family is wealthy and well-connected, so they can access the best medical resources.

Seeing the image of Rabbit lying weakly in the hospital bed, Tang Yucheng's heart ached. He had already lost his most important person forever a while ago.

Can you… Let him fly. Don't be so cruel to him.

The boy crouched at the corner of the stairs for a long time, finally wiped his face and stood up, walking down the steps.

Outside the apartment complex, the driver saw his master come out and his eyes welled up.

Well, maybe she's been crying.

"Second Young Master"

Tang YuCheng pursed his lips and didn't respond, opening the car door and sitting in the back seat.

The driver didn't dare ask any more questions, got into the driver's seat and drove back.

Back to the villa.

The steward saw that the young man's face was amiss, his eyes a bit red, and he cautiously called out, "Second Young Master"

He didn't answer.

The steward thought the master's red eyes were from missing Madam Tang, who had passed away some time ago.

Tang Yucheng walked to the desk phone, just about to dial, as if he remembered something, he asked, "These days, has Bunny or Bunny's parents come to find you Or called to look for me"

"No, Second Master," the butler replied truthfully.

I wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing the young man dialing a number, the steward swallowed his words.

The phone was answered quickly. Tang Yucheng succinctly stated that he had safely returned to City A, then asked his father to help investigate the whereabouts of Rabbit's family before explaining the reason.

The butler on the side was astonished.

Did Ann sell her house Did Miss Rabbit move

How, how come you didn't tell him, the second young master

Seeing the master finish his phone call, the butler carefully reminded him, “Second young master, dinner is ready.”

"I went back to my room."

Tang Yu Cheng tossed that sentence out, then walked up the stairs with an impassive face.

For the young girl, Anjia, and her son, Tang Zhongsen hadn't made any long-term plans. But he knew that the little girl, who they called Bunny, was very important to his son.

In the two days before his grandmother passed away, her son wouldn't eat a single bite. It wasn't until the third day that he reluctantly ate something.

Lately, because I haven't been able to eat much, my son has been eating mostly the can of chocolate he brought back from City A. Just by looking at the brand and price of that chocolate, you can guess who bought it.

Tang Zhongsen mobilized his vast network of contacts to find the whereabouts of the An family, but after several days of investigation, the three members of the An family seemed to have vanished into thin air. He couldn't find out when they left or where they went.

As for what illness the rabbit had, he scoured every hospital, big and small, in City A, but found no records of examination or treatment.

Although An Shaohua had long left the An family and was no longer the eldest son, he still had some connections. Allowing Tang Zhongsen to only find out that they sold their houses at 60% of the price they bought them for during a period of rising house prices.

Hearing the results of his father's investigation, Tang Yucheng found it hard to accept.

According to the investigation, Tang Zhongsen told his son, "When encountering the city, the An couple may not have moved because the rabbit was sick."

"What, what do you mean"

If this were normal circumstances, Tang Yu City would definitely have noticed something was amiss.

Now all he cared about was finding a place to settle down; there was no room in his mind for anything else.

“If the rabbit gets sick, the treatment cost could reach selling a house. With their affection for the rabbit, the An couple would definitely try to ask you for help. Even if they couldn't reach your mobile phone, they know your villa's landline number, don't they However, the housekeeper said they didn't call the villa during your time back in Beis city.” Tang Zhongsen analyzed for him.

Upon his father's reminder, Tang Yucheng suddenly had a flash of insight, and everything became clear.

"And they..."

Why are the rabbits moving They're moving so quickly.

“My guess is they were running from someone. To avoid being found, they had to cut off all ties with City A, even erasing their tracks; if they left normally, I wouldn't be unable to find out. Also, I couldn't find Rabbit's medical records in any hospital in City A except for the one you took her to.”

Tang Yu was both excited and nervous.

"Dad, the bunny is really not sick, right"

"I think so."

The boy let out a sigh of relief.

It's good that the rabbit isn't sick.

As long as the bunny is doing well, he will always find her.

Tang Yuchen thought that with the Tang family's network of contacts, they wouldn't have to wait too long to find the rabbit...

**********

However, this wait lasted for more than ten years.

That day.

Tang Yucheng received a call from his younger brother, "Second brother, R University is holding an anniversary celebration banquet next Friday night. All the professional teachers of my nephew will be there. I'll send you the list of attendees at the banquet, including all the teachers who teach my nephew."

As a successful and accomplished businessman, Tang Moqing could always accurately strike the opponent's weak point at night.

Uncle Two is the guardian of his nephew, and whenever he mentions the nephew's teachers, they will also attend. He believes that Uncle Two will definitely not refuse!

Actually, the school officials sent him an invitation.

As the heir apparent to the Kr·C International, he had attended countless banquets and was thoroughly bored with them.

As expected, Tang Yucheng readily agreed after hearing this, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yucheng made some slight adjustments to his schedule for the week, fearing that he would forget if he got too busy. He also instructed his confidant, "Remember to remind me next week."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's Friday next week.

Over four o'clock in the afternoon.

Tang Yucheng opened his mailbox only when he had a break from styling, and opened the guest list for the banquet that Tang Moqing had sent him the night before.

This list was made at Tang Moqing's order, with the list of teachers who taught Tang Si Xiu listed first. Tang Yucheng glanced at it and his gaze immediately caught on a certain name.

He thought he was hallucinating, and blinked hard. The three words "An Xiaotu" were still there at the end of that list.

Tang Yucheng's heart suddenly accelerated, a little disbelief mixed with some nervousness and anxiety.

Could it be that he found the rabbit

...or maybe… it’s just a coincidence in names… that’s all.

"Can you hurry up" Tang Yucheng, who suddenly felt time was dragging on, urged.

"Second Master, come on, hurry up." The senior male stylist sped up his movements, but it didn't affect the final look.

As soon as the stylist announced he was done, Tang Yucheng immediately stood up from his seat and quickly left the high-end styling salon.

A Rolls-Royce was parked outside. Tang Yucheng got into the driver's seat, started the car with swift and practiced movements, and drove towards the hotel where R was holding its anniversary celebration banquet.

Arrived at the hotel.

He handed the invitation to the staff member who was greeting guests at the entrance hall.

After verifying his identity, the staff member handed him a room card. "Second Master, this is a room card for a premium guest room. It's provided for our distinguished guests to rest in. When you leave, please return the card to the hotel front desk."

Not every guest at the banquet has a lounge. The school only prepared lounges for more distinguished guests.

Tang Yucheng originally wanted to refuse, he planned to return to his base after attending the banquet.

He hesitated for a moment, then accepted the room card from the staff and walked into the banquet hall.

In the resplendent banquet hall, with fragrance of silks and shadows of beauty, most guests had arrived.

Tang Yucheng's eyes scanned the banquet hall sharply, but he didn't see anyone familiar. He felt that if "An Xiaotu" on the list was really Tutu, he would definitely recognize her at a glance!

At that moment, Principal R strode over with a smile and greeted warmly, "Second Master, you've arrived!"

"Mm." Tang Yucheng shook hands with the principal and tentatively asked, "Have all the guests arrived"

He wanted to confirm if "An Xiaotu" was in the banquet hall.

"The banquet is still half an hour away, most of the guests have arrived, and a few more are still coming in." The principal replied.

Every guest who came to celebrate R big's anniversary today,

Tang Yucheng asked again, “I heard that one of the teachers who taught Jiāosī Xiū was named An Xiaotu”

He had waited for over a decade, but now he couldn't wait even a moment. He desperately wanted to know if it was him.

“Huh Yes, yes.” The headmaster didn't understand why he suddenly asked that and said cautiously, "Teacher An was originally a student at our school. She was very good at her studies, especially German. Now she is a student teacher. Young Master Si Xiu's German subject is taught by Teacher An. If the second master... if you are not satisfied, we can change teachers.”

No matter if it was her or not, Tang Yucheng didn't want to harm the teacher because of personal reasons and cause him to be treated differently.

"No!" He refused firmly, "Has Ms. An arrived I want to ask her about Xiu's daily study progress."

The principal knew that the wealthy man in front of him was Tang Si Xiu's guardian and would often call him to inquire about Tang Si Xiu's situation at school.

Therefore, his request did not seem strange to the principal.

The principal hurriedly looked around twice and then said with cold sweat, “To the Second Master, Teacher An might have been delayed on the way here and hasn’t arrived yet.”

"Hmm."

Tang Yucheng nodded without expression, secretly letting out a breath.

After waving goodbye to the principal, he found a quiet corner to himself. Guests who wanted to approach him felt his cold and powerful aura and hesitated.

Until the banquet officially began, Tang Yucheng hadn't seen a single person who felt familiar to him.

Maybe the "An Xiaotu" teacher on the list wasn't who he was looking for, he thought.

About ten minutes into the banquet, a girl in a formal dress ran rather clumsily into the hall.

Another female guest hurried towards the girl and whispered, "Teacher An, why are you just here The principal just asked me if you had arrived."

"Huh" Because she was rushing, An Xiaotu's flushed face paled instantly. She forced a smile and asked, "Teacher Yu, did the principal say what he wanted to see me about"

Because the school said this banquet was important and grand, she had already gone to a salon to get her hair and makeup done.

But unexpectedly, there were quite a few people getting their hair done today. She waited in line for a long time, and then when she offered the hairstylist more money, he let her cut the line.

The results are on the way... stuck in traffic again T^T~

Anyway, everything just wasn't going my way today.

"I didn't say, you go ask the principal." Yuling Zhen replied.

"Well, then I'll go. God bless me."

An Xiaot Rabbit took a cup of juice from the waiter's tray and drank it all in one gulp. The icy juice soothed her anxious mood somewhat.

President R is chatting with a bigwig from the business world, while An Xiaotu stands two or three steps away.

After a while, the principal saw her and quickly ended his conversation, signaling An Xiaotu to come over.

"Principal, I got caught in traffic and was a little late..." An Xiaotu shrank her neck and took the initiative to admit her mistake.

The principal swallowed his harsh words and said, "Second Master, Tang Sxiu's guardian is looking for you. He probably wants to know about Tang Sxiu's performance in class. Remember to speak well of him, alright"

"Got it." An Xiaotu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The principal's gaze swept across the hall, but he could not see the man's figure.

"You stand here and don't move, I'll go see where the Second Master is."

Because she was late, An Xiaotujun stood obediently in place. When guests came up to her, she just smiled and politely responded.

As the man walked past her with a glass of wine in hand, he asked, "Ma'am, can I get you something"

An Xiaotu looked at the tray held by the waiter. It wasn't filled with red wine or champagne, but with a variety of colorful and dreamy-looking cocktails.

"Thank you!" She picked out a cocktail in her favorite color.

She stood there, sipping her cocktail delicately, waiting for the principal and the student's guardians to arrive.

After finishing a cocktail, the principal was still nowhere to be seen.

An Xiaotu's high heels were beautiful, but they didn't fit well. After standing for a while, she started to feel uncomfortable. She finished her cocktail and took another glass of champagne before finding a seat.

Another ten minutes passed, and she finished her glass of champagne. An Xiaotu took out her phone from her handbag, wanting to call the principal to ask what was going on, but she was afraid of being scolded for not even being able to wait this short amount of time.

She sighed and put her phone back in her bag.

As soon as she stood up, a wave of dizziness hit her. She stumbled and fell back down.

I thought it was because I got up too quickly, but after sitting for a while, the dizziness not only didn't subside, but I also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. It was like having hypoglycemia, but not as uncomfortable as hypoglycemia. It was a very strange feeling.

At this time, Teacher Yu Ling Zhen walked over, "Teacher An, your face is so red, did you drink too much"

She reached out and touched An Xiaotu's forehead. It was a little hot.

“I, I feel a little unwell.” An Xiaotu said honestly. “Teacher Yu, just now the principal said that Tang Si Xiu’s guardian wanted to find me, but I waited for a long time and neither the principal nor Tang Si Xiu’s guardian appeared. I'm going to take a rest in the rest room for a while. If the principal comes back, please let me know.”

"Okay, shall I give you a lift"

"No need."

An Xiaotu stood up, frowned, and walked toward the banquet hall door...

On the other side.

Because of a sudden emergency, thankfully not serious, Tang Yucheng found a private rest room to command his subordinates to resolve it over the phone. Only then did he return to the banquet hall.

It took about half an hour.

"Master Er, Teacher An is here." the principal said to him.

Are you here

Tang Yucheng keenly smelled the other meaning behind this sentence - at the beginning of the banquet, "An Xiaotu" had not arrived.

He just wanted to ask where.

A fleeting glance from the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of her profile, and his heart skipped a beat. A wave of familiarity washed over him.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be leaving, Tang Yucheng ignored the principal and quickly chased after him; The principal thought something had happened, so he followed closely behind.

Spotting the back of someone just about to leave the ballroom, the principal said, “Hey, isn’t that Teacher An”

Tang Yucheng instantly determined, it was her!

"Principal, I can just talk to Teacher An myself." He turned back and said to the principal.

It means you don't have to follow me.

"Okay." The principal stopped walking.

An Xiaotu quickly walked out of the banquet hall. After just a few steps, she heard someone calling her name from behind, "An Xiaotu!"

She stopped in her tracks, slowly turning around. Because she felt unwell, her vision was also a bit blurry, like that of someone with very severe myopia. She vaguely knew the other person was a tall, handsome man.

"Excuse me, is there something I can help you with, sir"

Tang Yucheng stood before her, his heart pounding with excitement. He tried to appear calm as he extended his hand toward her, "My name is Tang Yucheng."

Over the years, he had wondered what she would grow up to be like. But he couldn't quite picture her as an adult.

Now seeing her, he found that her grown-up appearance was what he liked!

His rabbit's little face is so white and tender, it's even more delicate and charming than when it was a baby. It still looks very obedient.

Seeing her lost in thought, Tang Yucheng assumed she was reminiscing. However, a few seconds later, her words splashed him with a bucket of cold water, "Oh~ You're classmate Tang Sxiu's guardian, hello, Mr. Tang!"

Her tender, soft little hand clasped his warm, large palm.

Three seconds later, he wanted to retract his hand, but the man held on tightly, refusing to let go.

Tang Yucheng softly called out, "Rabbit..."

Did she...forget herself

It had been a long time since anyone called her that. An Xiaotu was dazed for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Tang, you can still call me Teacher An."

"Calling me 'Bunny' is too intimate."

Tang Yucheng was a little angry. He had thought about her for over ten years, but she seemed to have forgotten him.

"Rabbit, A city, you call me City Brother." He brought up several keywords.

“Mr. Tang…” An Xiaotu felt this man was too unrestrained. He just wanted her to call him Xu Cheng gege without any discussion, embarrassing her. However, the other party was her student guardian, so she couldn’t let personal feelings get in the way. “I think it’s better to call you Mr. Tang. Uh, well, your hand…you forgot to let go.”

Tang Yucheng furrowed his brows.

She really forgot herself!

"Mr. Tang, I'm not feeling well. If you want to know about classmate Tang Xiushui, can we talk another day Leave me your phone number." An Xiaotu wanted to reach for her handbag, but her hand was tightly held by the man.

When she said that, Tang Yucheng only then noticed that her complexion was off.

"What's wrong What's hurting" He reached out to touch her forehead, it was burning.

"Hmm..."

An Xiaotu felt a flush of heat all over her body. When her big hand touched her forehead, a wave of coolness washed over her, like a sudden downpour after a long drought, making her involuntarily hum.

Tang Yucheng's eyes darkened. Having handled too many criminal cases, he immediately sensed that her condition wasn't a fever, but rather...

He swept her into his arms, his big hand resting against her cheek. "Bunny," he murmured, "Does this feel better"

"Mmm~" An Xiaotu nodded, her body leaning against him. She finally didn't have to hold herself up anymore, "But...but Mr. Tang, this isn't right, you should let go of me."

"Never!" he exclaimed, having finally found her.

An Xiaotui felt her thoughts becoming dull, "You like this... are you not taking yourself seriously."

"I can be even more self-centered."

He whispered in her ear, his warm breath fanning against her neck, causing shivers to run down her spine.

“You have no shame, I…I am very self-respecting…” An Xiaotu narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brows. Because of the drug’s effect, her thinking ability was in chaos, and her tongue started to knot, “I, I, I haven’t found a boyfriend yet, don’t harm…um…”

Before she could finish her words, her small mouth was forcibly kissed by the man, and she quickly succumbed.

From her reaction, Tang Yucheng confirmed that she had been drugged.

Just as his thin lips parted from hers, he heard her say with a hint of pain and grievance, "Don't... don't leave..."

"Don't go, let's find a different place."

Tang Yucheng scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the elevator.

On the way to the luxury suite, An Xiaotu, affected by the medicine's effects, was restless. Losing her rationality, she relied solely on instinct, her hands randomly touching his face, neck, even his sensitive Adam's apple. She leaned forward, wanting to kiss his lips, to soothe the unbearable feeling that was about to explode.

In order to get to the room as quickly as possible, Tang Yucheng did not let her wish come true. She was extremely distressed, both resentful and wronged.

As soon as they entered the room, Tang Yucheng immediately put her down and pressed her against the door, kissing her lips. With one hand, he pulled open the zipper of her dress from behind...

He would never let her get away from him again in his life!

Even if she forgets him, it's fine.

From tomorrow onwards, they will rediscover each other...actually attempt to harm Xiao Tuobao.Although he hadn't found what Si Kong Liu Yi hid in the room, in Tang Mo Qing's heart, she was already classified as someone who wanted to harm An Xiao Tu and his...
