The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

Tang Shuqiao's mood has improved significantly in the past few days, and his previous resolve has weakened somewhat.

Now, he can go out.

Tang's parents were overjoyed to see this and expressed their gratitude to Xia Ying, trusting her even more.

When Tang Shuqiao saw Xia Ying appear beside him, his heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

He thought to himself, Xia Ying always liked to tease him, and now she was trying to persuade him to accept treatment. She was such a contradictory person.

Suddenly, he became curious about what Xia Ying had gone through these past few days, that she had ended up working as a maid.

Instead of asking Tang Sinian directly, Tang Shuqiao privately approached the butler to ask for Xia Ying's information.

"Second Young Master, there's nothing special about the maid's information; we've all verified it."

"I just wanted to see her past; after all, she's an old classmate of mine. Don't tell my brother, I'll just take a look and then return her to you."

The butler thought about it and couldn't refuse, so he found Xia Ying's information and handed it to Tang Shuqiao.

Originally, Xia Ying also had a forged document, which was to prevent Tang Shuqiao from discovering anything unusual. However, the butler did not look at it carefully and sent Tang Sinian's investigation report on Xia Ying directly to Tang Shuqiao.

Tang Shuqiao opened the book, which introduced Xia Ying's childhood experiences. He skimmed through it and saw her high school experiences.

Just as he was about to skip over it, one of the bolded messages caught his attention.

[Note: Rumor has it that Xia Ying has a crush on the second young master, Tang Shuqiao, and needs to be closely observed.]

Tang Shuqiao was astonished when he saw this.

His mind was filled with thoughts of Xia Ying having a crush on him?!

He was in a state of utter confusion, so he closed the file and didn't look at it anymore.

"Tang Shuqiao, why didn't you eat today?"

Xia Ying's voice interrupted Tang Shuqiao's thoughts; she was looking over with a bright smile.

Upon seeing this, Tang Shuqiao recalled once again the fact that Xia Ying had a crush on him.

In an instant, he understood everything. No wonder Xia Ying never refused when he asked her to run errands in high school; it turned out she liked him.

No wonder she came here as a maid and kept urging me to get treatment; it turns out she liked me!

As Tang Shuqiao thought about this, his expression became increasingly complicated.

Seeing him lost in thought, Xia Ying asked another question. Tang Shuqiao then looked up and replied, "I want to receive treatment. Are you happy?"

"Really! Tang Shuqiao, I'm so happy. You've finally come to your senses. All those days of my thinking were worth it..."

Xia Ying was very excited. She stopped talking and turned to leave Tang Shuqiao's room to inform Tang Sinian.

Her unfinished words fueled Tang Shuqiao's imagination and further confirmed his belief that Xia Ying liked him!

Looking at his injured legs, he thought of Xia Ying's long-standing unrequited love and his sacrifice this time, and felt a mix of emotions.

Forget it, I'll just focus on getting better and recovering to repay her favor.

Xia Ying was unaware of this misunderstanding and assumed that Tang Shuqiao had truly come to his senses.

She shared the good news with the Tang family and mobilized the entire team to conduct a comprehensive examination of Tang Shuqiao.

To be on the safe side, she did not reveal her identity and accompanied Tang Shuqiao to the hospital as a maid, accompanying him for the examination.

Finally, the team that received all the inspection reports held a meeting to discuss and develop a complete plan.

"Mr. Tang, don't worry, you will be fully recovered in three months. There is still a three-month recovery period, and you should be able to return to normal life in six months."

"The patient's injuries are not very serious; the main problem is psychological. Once this obstacle is overcome, the rest will not be an issue."

After Xia Ying finished her report, Tang Sinian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Dr. Xia. I'd like to invite you to dinner after you're done with your work."

Xia Ying looked in the direction of her group members and, seeing that no one had any objections, nodded in agreement.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and was full of energy. After all, they would receive a lot of commission after this deal was completed in six months, and then they could take a good rest.

For the first time ever, Xia Ying drank a glass of red wine, her cheeks flushed with a slight intoxication.

After the dinner, Tang Sinian took her to his car and drove her back to the hospital.

In the car, Tang Sinian instructed, "There were too many people earlier, so it wasn't convenient for me to say anything. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Things are on track now, just do everything according to plan."

Xia Ying looked out the window, and after hearing this, she slowly turned to look at Tang Sinian, a faint smile always on her lips.

"Why did you have to say these things in private, Mr. Tang? I think it would be fine to say them in front of everyone."

"I heard your team members...making fun of us, and you seemed angry. Have I been causing you a lot of trouble?"

Tang Sinian focused on driving and didn't look at Xia Ying.

But out of the corner of his eye, he could see Xia Ying's slightly surprised expression.

Xia Ying sensed the humility in Tang Sinian's tone. She looked at the noble man beside her and suddenly chuckled.

"I don't think being linked to the well-known CEO of the Tang Group should be a problem."

This was not the answer Tang Sinian wanted. He pursed his lips, his unhappiness written all over his face.

"So you don't mind at all, is that right?"

"What about President Tang?"

Xia Ying posed the question to Tang Sinian, smiling as she said, "I thought Mr. Tang was asking this question to interrogate me."

The red light came on, and the car stopped.

Tang Sinian gripped the steering wheel tightly, and a second later, turned to stare at Xia Ying and said, "No, I'm still looking forward to it. Looking forward to turning the rumors into reality."

Xia Ying looked at him in surprise and saw the seriousness in his eyes. She knew he wasn't joking and didn't know how to reply. She could only open the car window to let some fresh air and relieve her restlessness.

Tang Sinian did the same. He took a few deep breaths, the light turned green, and he continued driving until he took Xia Ying back to the hospital.

"Are you on duty here tonight?"

He looked at the small single bed, his voice filled with worry.

Xia Ying had calmed down a bit from her earlier emotions and tried to ignore the conversation in the car as much as possible.

Upon hearing Tang Sinian's question, she simply replied, "Yes, I often sleep here."

"I'll send someone to arrange a better bed for you, it won't be on your hospital's budget."

Xia Ying wanted to stop Tang Sinian's domineering behavior, but he had already made a phone call and given instructions.

"President Tang..."

"I know your boss, and even if he finds out, he won't say anything."

Tang Sinian casually pulled over a chair and sat down, showing no intention of leaving.

At this moment, only the two of them remained in the small duty room. In the already quiet space, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Xia Ying could feel Tang Sinian's gaze coming from her. She had initially ignored it, but the gaze was too conspicuous.

She couldn't help but look away, only to be caught by that sticky gaze.

"Yingying, would you like to consider the suggestion I made in the car?"
