half thorns, half joy

After Tang Xuan knew that Huang Tingting and Cai Jinyu had gone to another city, she didn't wait for Huang Tingting any longer. She searched for information and data to find topics for her new article.

She was working in full swing when the nanny suddenly came over and said that Cai Lin was here.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Lin ran in bouncing like a small spinning top.

"Sister, you're busy." Cai Lin looked at Tang Xuan's computer and sat down on the sofa opposite Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan clicked to save the file, and asked Cai Lin with a smile, "What's the matter, what's the matter? It's so hot."

"...No." Cai Lin drooped her shoulders, "I'm just bored at home and have nothing to do, so I want to come and play with you."

Listening, Tang Xuan turned her head and told the nanny beside her, "Make Linlin the latest fruit tea and bring some snacks."

Cai Lin crossed her legs happily, "Sister, you make me delicious food every time, I have gained weight recently!"

"It's cute when you're fat." Tang Xuan also laughed.

The nanny quickly served tea and snacks for Cai Lin, Cai Lin started to eat without saying a word, she nodded with satisfaction while eating.

Tang Xuan stared at Cai Lin eating like a child for a few seconds, smiled dotingly, and continued with her work.

Cai Lin was very sensible. Seeing Tang Xuan bowed her head and worked hard, she didn't bother Tang Xuan any more. She took out her mobile phone and picked up some snacks. While eating, she checked Weibo and sat quietly.

Tang Xuan has already handed in this week's draft, and now she is preparing for next week's draft, so she is not in a hurry.

Tang Xuan extracted the useful things from the materials she found, marked them one by one, and then planned the next thing to do, then turned off the computer.

Although Cai Lin is indeed sensible, but since they are all here, she can't put them aside and let them entertain themselves.

"Hey, sister, you're done." Cai Lin licked the crumbs off her fingers and looked at Tang Xuan in surprise.

Tang Xuan nodded, "Well, almost, we'll do it when we're done."

"Well, then I can talk?" Cai Lin showed a joyful expression.

Tang Xuan laughed. She knew that this little girl came here in such a hurry, she definitely didn't come here to sit in a daze.

Tang Xuan hummed, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"This..." Asking Cai Lin to say it, Cai Lin became awkward instead, she hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly: "It's... sister... I want to ask, who...is there no news anymore? "

that whoever?
Tang Xuan reacted for two seconds before realizing that Cai Lin was talking about Deng Langyue.

Tang Xuan shook her head, and replied, "Deng Langyue hasn't heard much these past few days. I don't know what he's busy with, and I don't know how his fight with his uncle is going."

"Hmm..." Cai Lin sighed in disappointment.

"Are you worried about him?" Tang Xuan asked Cai Lin.

Cai Lin picked at the hole in the jeans on her leg with her fingers, but nodded without making a sound.

"Then why don't I ask him," Tang Xuan tried to say.

Cai Lin immediately regained her spirits, "Is it okay?"

Seeing Cai Lin's shocking reaction without any pretense or concealment, Tang Xuan nodded with a smile, "Sure."

Before Deng Langyue sent Tang Xuan a new number, Tang Xuan took out her mobile phone, found the number, pondered for a while, and only sent a question mark.

A few minutes later, Tang Xuan's cell phone rang.

On the caller ID, it was Deng Langyue's new number.

Tang Xuan didn't pick it up right away. She held the phone and looked at Cai Lin. Cai Lin blushed with excitement, and quickly waved her hand, gesturing for Tang Xuan to pick it up.

In fact, Tang Xuan was also very anxious. She answered the phone without further excuses.

"Hey?"

"...It's me." Deng Langyue's voice came over, a little deeper than usual.

Tang Xuan raised her eyes and saw Cai Lin's anxious expression. She put her phone on speakerphone and placed it gently on the coffee table in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Deng Langyue asked.

Tang Xuan looked at Cai Lin, who was nervously picking her fingers, and answered politely, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, how are you doing recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Fortunately, I haven't had a showdown with my uncle yet. So it's not a bad day. But it won't last long. He sent me out to do some errands these days. After this matter is over, I will have a showdown with him. "

Tang Xuan broke into a cold sweat for Deng Langyue, "It's hard for you. Come on."

"This is the path I chose to take. There is nothing difficult about it. Even if my uncle wants to drive me out of Deng's house, I can fully bear it." Deng Langyue laughed shortly, and then he deeply Taking a breath, she asked, "Linlin...is she okay these days?"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Lin's eyes turned red immediately.

She bit her lip tightly, not daring to make any sound.

Tang Xuan stared at Cai Lin, who was about to shed tears, and hummed softly, "Linlin is fine, she stays with me most of the time, I have already told her about your predicament, she understands and is willing Waiting for you, you don't have to worry."

Obviously, Deng Langyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you. I will work hard and not let her wait too long." Deng Langyue's voice was also choked with sobs.

Tang Xuan just looked at Cai Lin's tears, and after Deng Langyue's words, she rolled down.

"Why don't you..." Looking at Cai Lin like this, Tang Xuan couldn't help but speak. She wanted to tell Cai Lin to talk to Deng Langyue.

But before Tang Xuan could say a word, Cai Lin rushed to the coffee table and hung up the phone with lightning speed.

Tang Xuan looked at Cai Lin in surprise, and took a while to stroke Cai Lin's back.

"It's okay, you trust him."

"I...I'm going to the bathroom." Cai Lin's eye makeup was stained from crying, maybe because she didn't want to cry too badly in front of Tang Xuan and the nanny, she left this sentence, got up and hurried to the bathroom.

As soon as Cai Lin left, Tang Xuan's cell phone, which was placed on the coffee table, slid into a text message with a ding dong.

The text message was sent by Deng Langyue, asking what's the matter in a very anxious tone, and if something happened.

Tang Xuan didn't think much, and typed an explanation.

Tang Xuan: Linlin was by the side just now, she heard everything you said.

Deng Langyue: ... doesn't she want to listen to me?

Tang Xuan: No, she cried.Be shy.

Deng Langyue: That's good.Someone's here, I'm off to work.

Tang Xuan: Good.

After replying to Deng Langyue, Tang Xuan put away her phone, got up and walked to the bathroom door, and knocked on the closed door with her fingers.

"Linlin, are you okay?"

Ten seconds later, the bathroom door was opened from the inside.

Cai Lin appeared with red rabbit-like eyes, and looked at Tang Xuan timidly and embarrassedly.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xuan took Cai Lin's hand, lowered her head and asked patiently, "Deng Langyue said he would work hard, are you unhappy? Don't you want to have a few words with him?"

"No." Cai Lin pursed her lips and shook her head, "I don't know...how to face him, I don't know what to say."

That's right, after all, the two have never seen each other since they broke up that day.

The so-called misunderstandings and explanations were conveyed by Tang Xuan, the intermediary, and Deng Langyue did not directly explain to Cai Lin.

Thinking about it this way, I can understand why Cai Lin doesn't want to talk to Deng Langyue.

"That's okay, let's talk about it later. After he finishes what he wants to do and wins his own freedom, it won't be too late." Tang Xuan comforted Cai Lin.

Cai Lin nodded, "...um."

After a long while, Cai Lin raised her head and asked Tang Xuan, "Sister, do you think Deng Langyue's uncle will really drive Deng Langyue out? After all, Deng Langyue is his own nephew, would he be so terrific?" ?”

"...I don't know, probably not." Seeing how worried Cai Lin was, Tang Xuan dared not tell Cai Lin the truth.

The truth is, based on what she knew about Deng Li's character and way of doing things, driving Deng Langyue out of the Deng family should be the best result.

However, it is not possible to draw conclusions so early, after all, Deng Langyue does not look like a brainless person.

Just now, from his tone on the phone, he should use his bargaining chips to negotiate with Deng Li.

In that case, how things will develop is still unknown.
