Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

144 144 Tan Jing is stupid

Tan Rou couldn’t stand it anymore. She strode forward and picked Tao Qi up. “I’ll carry you, don’t force yourself.”

Tao Qi cried out in shock and found himself in Tan Rou’s arms. He immediately began to struggle. “Who’s trying to be brave? I don’t want you to carry me!”

Tan Rou lowered her eyes and threatened, “You don’t want big brother, nor dad, do you still want mom to carry you? You’re walking so slowly, it’ll be dawn soon. Stop talking nonsense or I’ll spank your butt. You’re so sick now and you can’t beat me!”

Tao Qi glared at Tan Rou angrily. This bad woman. He was just being grateful towards her but in the blink of an eye, she was bullying him fiercely again!

Tan Rou weighed Tao Qi in her arms and hugged him even tighter. She jokingly said, “You’re really heavy. I told you to eat less meat. Be careful or you’ll really become fat!”

Tao Qi was just about to retort when he saw Tan Rou’s gentle gaze. She looked at him with a pained expression and said, “But since you’re sick, you can eat more and get better quickly, brat.”

Tao Qi suddenly didn’t know what to say. He felt warmth from Tan Rou again! Her eyes were so gentle.

Tao Qi was embarrassed again and didn’t say anything more. He resigned himself to his fate and leaned his head on Tan Rou’s shoulder. Then, he thought to himself, ‘Tan Rou’s body also smelled good, but it was different from sister Jingjing’s perfume. It was the fragrance of a type of herb with a faint flower fragrance.’ Without realizing it, Tao Qi was feeling drowsy again.

The other three looked at Tan Rou and Tao Qi’s interaction and smiled at the same time. They were really two little enemies. They were always bickering but it was still quite heartwarming!

Tan Rou smiled as well. There was still the smell of the nerve-soothing incense on her body. Tao Qi was weak to begin with, and even though it wasn’t as effective as burning incense, it was enough for a child to have a good sleep and recover.

The family of five tossed and turned until the middle of the night before finally bringing Tao Qi home. They were both mentally and physically exhausted and went back to their rooms to rest when they got home.

Within a few hours, the sky had just turned bright, and Tan Rou got up again. She had no choice. She still had to go to school and they had an important test today.

Fortunately, Tan Rou had the spices she made herself. Although she only slept for a few hours, she was still in high spirits. After a simple wash, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her family.

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, Mrs. Tao put on some clothes and walked out. “Xiao Rou, why are you up so early? I’ll cook, you should rest for a while more!”

Tan Rou shook her head. “I’ll do it. Mom, you should sleep a little longer. We have an exam today so I need to go to school slightly earlier.”

Mrs. Tao nodded. She knew that Tan Rou was attending a strict school and that she always had a lot of exams. She also knew that Tan Rou had just returned to the country and she didn’t have much time to study in the Tan family. She was afraid that Tan Rou would be stressed, so she quickly encouraged her, “Don’t be nervous. The exam is nothing. Your participation in it would be enough. There’s still a lot of time to slowly work on it. My daughter is so smart. She will definitely be able to do it.”

Tan Rou knew that Mother Tao was worried that she would be upset if she didn’t do well. So, she quickly comforted her. “Mom, I’ve already studied everything. Don’t worry, your daughter is indeed a smart girl!” She even winked at Mrs. Tao playfully.

Mrs. Tao smiled in relief. That’s right, her daughter even excels in medicine, she must definitely be good at studying too. People with talent learn fast, so she shouldn’t underestimate her daughter.

While cooking the porridge, Tan Rou pretended to ask casually, “Mom, did Tan Jing study well in the past?”

Tan Rou naturally knew that Tan Jing’s academic results had always been good in her previous life and she had also maintained the image of a top student in this life. However, Tan Rou was still very curious and wanted to ask Mrs. Tao about Tan Jing’s performance at home. This time, Tan Jing was definitely digging a trap for her in terms of their academics. She had to know her enemy well.

Mrs. Tao thought that Tan Rou was still comparing herself to Tan Jing and was afraid that Tan Rou would overthink it. She continued to encourage her, “Her grades have always been good, but she’s the hard-working type. She only relies on rote memorization and often stays at home until midnight. She’s not as smart as you. You don’t have to compete with her, she’s not your opponent as well. You just have to do well! Mommy believes you!”

In the past, in Mother Tao’s eyes, Tan Jing was still her daughter. Of course, she would only think that Tan Jing was very hardworking and that she was excellent. However, her impression of Tan Jing now was extremely bad. She did not directly say that Tan Jing was stupid because Mother Tao was a cultured woman. She did not want to compare Tan Jing to Tan Rou at all.
