Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss Chapter 143 For Tao Qi

143 143 For Tao Qi
In the observation room, Tao Qi was done with his medicine and could already be discharged. The little guy had been tormented the entire night and was in a daze. He only woke up when the nurse came to help him remove the needles. In fear, he buried his face in Tao Zheng’s arms, revealing only a small red ear.
Tan Rou looked at Tao Qi gently, her heart softening. She thought for a moment and said to Mr. And Mrs. Tao, “About the phone call with Tan Jing today, I think it’s better not to tell Xiao Qi. He’ll be sad if he finds out about it. Just let him think that his Sister Jingjing truly loved him.”
Mrs. Tao was surprised by Tan Rou’s attentiveness. “Rou’er, you’re so considerate. Xiao Qi … Sigh, I hope that he knows that Tan Jing is not a good person and that he should stay away from her as soon as possible, but I’m also afraid that he will really be hurt. He still doesn’t understand the complexity of the human heart.”
Tan Rou smiled freely. “It’s okay. He will find out that Tan Jing is not a good person sooner or later, but it wouldn’t stop him from thinking that Tan Jing is a good sister. Otherwise, it will cause too much damage to his young heart. I am willing to be a bad person. I will stop him from being with Tan Jing alone in the future. I will let him keep this last trace of memory, even if it is fake.”
“Would it be better if Xiao Qi knew about your kind intentions?” Mr. Tao said emotionally.
“If this brat doesn’t treat you well in the future, he’s definitely heartless!”
Tan Rou’s smile became even gentler. “For Tao Qi’s sake, this should be a secret between us. I’m his elder sister, so he’ll acknowledge me sooner or later. Of course, I have to protect him first.”
Their parents agreed happily. The adults would settle their own matters. Tao Qi was still in need of protection and guidance at his age. With Tan Rou around, there was really no need for them to be worrying about him.
Tao Zheng had already packed his things and walked out with Tao Qi in his arms. “You can go now. The doctor prescribed some medicine. You’ll be fine tomorrow.”
Father Tao pretended to be angry as he looked at Tao Qi, who was in Tao Zheng’s arms. “Do you still have to guts to just put everything inside your mouth?”
Tao Qi pouted, feeling wronged. “How would I know there would be mushrooms? I didn’t even notice it!”
Mother Tao smiled helplessly. She knew that Tao Qi couldn’t be blamed for this, but she still lectured him, “Even if you didn’t know about the mushrooms, don’t you know that you’re sick? If you’re not feeling well, why didn’t you quickly find an adult? Instead, you secretly locked the door and hid?! If it wasn’t for your sister, would you still have the chance to talk back to us now?”
Tao Qi’s eyes widened as he glanced at Tan Rou. Tan Rou raised her eyebrows and didn’t say anything. She smiled and waited for Tao Qi’s reaction.
Tao Qi was a little embarrassed. After he and Sister Jingjing come back from dinner, he wants to quarrel with Tan Rou. In the end, not only did he not question Tan Rou, but he was also saved by her instead. It was really embarrassing.
That night, Tan Rou had told him to believe in his heart and feel who was the one who was truly good to him. Now, Tan Rou even tried her best to save him, so he could no longer deny her sincerity.
Tao Qi pursed his lips, feeling a little awkward, but he looked at Tan Rou with a rare sincerity. “Thank you,”
“You’re welcome,” tan Rou grinned. “It’s what an elder sister should do.”
Tao Qi’s face was red as he struggled in Tao Zheng’s arms. “I’m much better. I can come down and walk by myself.”
Tao Zheng looked helpless. He knew that his younger brother was embarrassed and didn’t want to show his weak side in front of Tan Rou, so he put him on the ground.
Tao Qi was still very weak. As soon as he landed, his legs went soft, and he staggered. It was with great difficulty that he managed to stand up.
Tan Rou looked at Tao Qi’s stubborn appearance, shook her head slightly, and advised, “You’re sick tonight, so you don’t have to be a little man. It’s okay to be taken care of occasionally. I’m not laughing at you.”
Tao Qi was still unwilling to comply, “I’m really fine! Big brother is tired from carrying me; I can walk on my own.”
Mr. Tao was amused. “Little Qi, it’s good that you know how to care for your big brother. Come. I’ll carry you instead.”
Tao Qi continued to shake his head. “I’m already ten years old. I’m very heavy. It’s been hard on dad too. I can walk slowly on my own.” With that, he started to walk by himself. However, it was obvious that he was swaying, and his legs were trembling.
