Chapter 861: Chapter 863 Missing Very Much

Shi Miaomiao kept comforting herself like this, but she couldn’t stop the tears from falling. She cried secretly in her bedroom alone, not even realizing when Xiao Yifei and the others came back. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt; she was a girl struggling hard to make her mark in this city.

As a result, a data error appeared in a contract she drafted, but luckily it was caught in time, preventing any major issues. Even so, her boss still decided to deduct her bonus for the month because of it.

Although her monthly bonus wasn’t much, for a girl like her, every penny was particularly important. Yet she couldn’t let her parents know about this; even if they knew, their worry would be in vain, having no practical effect.

In this city, besides Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong, she didn’t have any really close friends. She even regretted her decision to come to this city alone to develop her career, feeling lonely with no one to comfort her when she was upset.

Tang Rong heard some noise from Shi Miaomiao’s room, so she walked in and found Shi Miaomiao lying on the bed, seemingly having cried.

Tang Rong quickly went to the bedside, patting her back, and gently asked, "Miaomiao, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Only then did Shi Miaomiao realize Tang Rong and the others had returned, and they found her crying. She kept her face buried in the bed, speaking in a hoarse voice, "Sister Rong, it’s nothing, I’m just a bit sad, I’ll be fine after crying for a while."

Seeing this, Tang Rong didn’t say anything further, only offering a simple sentence, "Miaomiao, don’t worry no matter what happens, I will always be here with you."

Shi Miaomiao was about to feel better, but hearing Tang Rong’s words, she couldn’t help crying again, hugging Tang Rong tightly. "Sister Rong, I just feel so tired being here alone, I feel like I can’t hold on any longer, but I can’t just go back. I feel so sad."

Shi Miaomiao once read this: when a little wild animal gets hurt, it runs to its cave, licking its wounds and persevering alone. But once someone shows it concern, it just can’t take it. Shi Miaomiao felt like that wild animal now—once someone treated her kindly, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Miaomiao, don’t cry, when you cry, I can’t stand it either. And it’s not only you who feels this tired; we all do, struggling hard with life. In adult life, when is anything ever easy? It’s not just you who feels tired; I often have to work overtime and frequently worry so much I can’t sleep,"

"But remember, you’re not the only one bearing the burden. Both Xiao Yifei and I are behind you, supporting you, along with your parents. They will always be your strong backing," Tang Rong comforted.

After some comforting, Shi Miaomiao’s emotions finally improved a lot. noveldrama

"Miaomiao, I’ll make you some soup, drink it and have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you’ll be a Shi Miaomiao full of energy again," Tang Rong said considerately, truly treating Shi Miaomiao like her own younger sister.

"Sister Rong, why are you so good to me? You make me feel like I’ve gone back to high school when my mom would make me soup every day. I haven’t been home for so long, and today I suddenly miss my parents," Shi Miaomiao whispered, trying hard to hold back her tears.

"Silly child, if you miss your parents, just give them a call. I’m sure they’re thinking about you too. When you have a break, go back and see them; I’m sure they miss you very much," Tang Rong said.

That day, when Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong were out shopping together, they happened to run into Dean Qian’s family approaching from the opposite direction. Xiao Yifei had no time to avoid them, so he had to step forward and greet them, "Dean Qian, Mrs. Dean, are you also out shopping?"

Xiao Yifei politely asked. Not recognizing the young woman with the dean’s family, he nodded and smiled at her.

Dean Qian said, "Yes, it’s rare for our family to have time, so we’re out to stroll. This is my daughter, Qian Yingying. Yingying, this is Dr. Xiao Yifei, whom I mentioned to you before."

"Oh, and this is my girlfriend." Xiao Yifei also introduced Tang Rong to the dean and his family.

Qian Yingying gave Tang Rong a brief glance, feeling that the look in her eyes held unusual intentions: probing, and more so, curiosity.

After exchanging a few courteous words, they parted ways.

"Dad, so this is the Xiao Yifei you mentioned? I find him quite ordinary in looks. Why did you insist on introducing him to me before?" Qian Yingying thought Xiao Yifei was just a very ordinary person, wondering why her well-experienced father valued Xiao Yifei so much. Was he worried she couldn’t find a husband?

"You’re such a child, already a grown-up yet still judging by appearance. Besides, Xiao Yifei looks quite good too! Even though at first glance he seems plain, after seeing him more, you’ll find he’s really handsome. Moreover, Xiao Yifei surely has boundless prospects," Dean Qian earnestly explained to his daughter.

"Can handsomeness be eaten as food? Gosh, no wonder you still don’t have a decent boyfriend. I think Xiao Yifei’s girlfriend has good foresight; someone like Xiao Yifei is a potential stock!" Dean Qian couldn’t stand seeing Xiao Yifei taken by someone else.

"Dad, do you talk about your daughter like that? If I can’t find a boyfriend in the future, I’ll just live on my own. With my current ability, I won’t be starving, and besides, it’s normal not to get married nowadays!" Qian Yingying showed no concern for her dad’s worries.

Moreover, fate is a mysterious thing—it’s hard to predict who you’ll meet and what story will unfold.

But now, whatever is said, it’s too late; Xiao Yifei already has a girlfriend. It seems that there just wasn’t any fate between Xiao Yifei and his daughter.

"However, Xiao Yifei’s girlfriend is really beautiful," Qian Yingying praised.

On the other side, Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong were also discussing the dean’s family, mainly about the dean’s daughter. "Did you have some kind of relationship with the dean’s daughter before? I felt like she was looking at me strangely, like she was seeing a rival," Tang Rong said to Xiao Yifei.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but be a little scared. Women’s sixth sense is indeed terrifying; they can sense such things.

"I’ve never met her before, but when I first came to this hospital, Dean Qian was eager to introduce his daughter to me, which I refused. That’s all there is to it," Xiao Yifei explained frankly.

"If you’ve never met, why did she look at me like that?" Tang Rong asked, puzzled.

"I didn’t find her gaze unusual at all; didn’t it seem polite?" Xiao Yifei couldn’t understand, as Dean Qian’s daughter only gave them a polite smile with hardly a word spoken. How could Tang Rong see so much from one or two seconds of brief eye contact? Of course, he dared not say this to Tang Rong.
