The Mightiest Little Peasant Chapter 366 - Living Together

Chapter 366: Living Together
Her voice resounded in the night.
She buried her head in her knees, and her crying became louder and louder.
Tang Hao sighed silently as he watched her and said nothing. He was helpless. After a while, he also crouched down.
The loud wails eventually quietened down and turned into sobs.
She lifted her head. Her eyes were puffy. Tang Hao felt sorry looking at her pitiful expression.
“What are you doing?” She mumbled as she looked at Tang Hao.
“Accompanying you,” Tang Hao said. He handed her a napkin.
Ling Wei took it and wiped her tears, though she was still sobbing. “Just now… Thank you!”
Tang Hao smiled. “I hope you don’t mind me punching your dad!”
Ling Wei shook her head. “I don’t mind it at all! My father has indeed gone overboard this time.”
“That’s good to know!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Then, they were silent again.
Ling Wei continued to wipe her tears while sobbing. Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something. “Do I look ugly like this?” She said sheepishly.
“No! You’re still beautiful!” Tang Hao said hurriedly.
“Tch!” Ling Wei rolled her eyes at him. Then, she burst out laughing.
She wiped her tears again and stood up. “Let’s go!” She said.
“Where are you going?” Tang Hao stood up and asked.
Ling Wei was taken aback and did not know how to reply.
Where could she go? She could not return home, and she did not have any money or cards on her. She had left her handbag inside the bar.
She could not turn back and retrieve it after walking out so resolutely.
She searched her body for any money but was embarrassed when she found none. Her findings had made her sad.
Only moments ago, she was still the president of Tai An Group. Now, she was penniless and destitute, without a home to return to.
She felt more sorrowful the more she thought about it. She started sobbing again.
She lifted her head and looked sheepishly at Tang Hao. “Well… How about you take me in? I don’t have a home now, and I don’t have any money. I hope you don’t abandon me now!”
Tang Hao felt a little awkward.
He dared not to take in a beautiful woman like President Ling. The last time, he only allowed her to stay over one night for her safety.
It was not very appropriate for a single man and woman to live together!
Ling Wei seemed dejected when she saw Tang Hao’s awkwardness.
“You don’t want me anymore!” She bit her lip. She started sobbing again and looked more pitiful than ever.
“It’s not that I don’t want you, but… we’re still single. It’s not appropriate!” Tang Hao said helplessly.
Ling Wei pouted and gave Tang Hao a side-eye. “Do you dare to do anything to me though?” She asked matter-of-factly.
“I don’t!” Tang Hao smiled sheepishly.
He was telling the truth. He already had Sis Xiangyi. Furthermore, he had a little incident with Officer Zhao before this, which had already made him immensely guilty. He would not want to do anything to Ling Wei.
“So that settles it!” Ling Wei said.
Tang Hao laughed drily. “Alright then, you can stay at my apartment!”
Ling Wei smiled smugly, though there was still a hint of melancholy in the corner of her eyes.
“How long do you plan to stay?”
“I don’t know!” Ling Wei said.
“Oh, then we should get some clothes and toiletries!”
Tang Hao brought her to the mall. He bought her clothes, underwear, toiletries, and any other items that she might need in her daily life.
They finally stopped when they could not carry the bags anymore.
“I will repay you the money in the future!” Ling Wei said sheepishly.
Tang Hao smiled. “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a lot of money.”
“That won’t do. See, I’ll be relying on you for my food, clothes, and accommodation. If I don’t pay you back, won’t that be just like you keeping a sugar baby?” Ling Wei said.
Tang Hao smiled. “If I can keep a sugar baby with so little money, that’s totally worth it!”
Ling Wei blushed and glared at him.
When they returned to Tang Hao’s apartment, Ling Wei went to tidy the guest room.
“Are you hungry? I’ll cook something,” Tang Hao said. He saw that it was already ten o’clock.
“Oh, alright!” Ling Wei replied from the room.
Tang Hao went to the kitchen. He boiled some soup with the sea dragon meat and added noodles along with some medicinal herbs with calming effects. Soon, a fragrant bowl of noodles was ready to be eaten.
“Oh! This smells so good!”
Ling Wei was surprised when she saw the bowl of noodles on the table.
“Only one bowl? Aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not hungry,” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Ling Wei was silent. Tears brimmed in her eyes again.
She was moved by Tang Hao’s kind gesture. Soon, her vision was obscured by tears.
She thought that he was cooking for both of them, but did not expect that he would specially cook a delicious meal for her.
Her tears could not stop falling as she looked at the steaming bowl of noodles on the table. She quickly wiped those tears away, thinking that she was embarrassing herself.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Hao was shocked.
“It’s… It’s nothing!”
Ling Wei shook her head. She sat down next to the table and took a whiff. “This smells so delicious!” She exclaimed. She picked up some noodles with chopsticks, took a bite, and immediately looked shocked.
She started crying again as she ate the noodles. She noticed that Tang Hao was looking at her. “Why are you looking at me? The steam got into my eyes!” She said, pretending to be angry.
Tang Hao smiled.
He cleaned up for her after she finished eating. “You should go and rest soon.”
“Mm!” She replied and returned to her room.
After doing the dishes, Tang Hao returned to his room and started crafting jade talismans.
Throughout the night, he could hear soft sobbing sounds coming from the next room. Tang Hao felt sorry for her when he heard that.
He did not know how long he would allow her to stay in his apartment. He would have to take it day by day.
The sobbing eventually stopped at about two o’clock in the morning. What replaced it was steady breathing sounds.
She finally fell asleep.
Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy when she woke up the next morning. She also seemed dispirited. After eating breakfast, she went back to sleep.
Tang Hao prepared some dishes and rice for her for lunch, then went out to attend his classes at university.
He returned to his apartment that afternoon.
He was surprised when he heard cooking sounds coming from within the apartment. Then he heard a shriek and a pot lid falling on the floor.
There was a mysterious scent in the air.
Tang Hao was curious when he smelled it.
‘Don’t tell me… she’s cooking?’
From what he heard and smelled, he could imagine the state of the kitchen at that moment.
