Chapter 73: Are You Okay?
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Are You Okay?
Yang Chen couldn\'t deny it and smirked, "What\'s the matter?"
"Why are you like this? You can\'t be a bit more gentlemanly when a beautiful woman approaches you? It\'s like I\'m a creditor here to collect a debt!" Tang Tang said, displeased.
"We have different ways of doing things. If you have something to say, spit it out." Yang Chen wasn\'t interested in dealing with such an arrogant rich girl. She had apologized to him after causing trouble that night, but he didn\'t owe her any favors.
"You..." Tang Tang was furious. When she first saw Yang Chen\'s incredible driving skills, she was curious and wanted to make friends. But she didn\'t expect this man to be so arrogant. Who did he think he was? Did he really think everyone was afraid of him?
Tang Tang had never been treated like this before, and she felt a surge of anger. But she knew she couldn\'t beat this guy in a fight. Even if she called for help, it would only be to deliver groceries. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head...
After making up her mind, a layer of mist appeared in Tang Tang\'s watery eyes. Gradually, her face turned pale, and a helpless and sorrowful expression appeared on her face...
"What\'s wrong with you?" Yang Chen was puzzled. Could this girl be so easily shaken? He hadn\'t even scolded her yet, and she was about to cry?
Tang Tang began to sob, wiping away her tears. Suddenly, in the middle of the busy street, she burst into loud wails, "Yang Chen! You heartless man! You don\'t want me now that I\'m pregnant! You heartless jerk! Wah..."
Yang Chen was dumbfounded, and so were the pedestrians on the street, who all stopped and stared at Tang Tang, their expressions becoming strange.
Tang Tang suddenly rushed forward and hugged Yang Chen\'s waist, shaking him while crying, as if her emotions were truly out of control.
"Wuwu... Yang Chen, don\'t leave me! Don\'t abandon me and our child! What will I do if you leave? What about our child? Will our child grow up without a father? Are you really that heartless? Are you going to kick me out now that you have someone else? Wuwu..."
Tangtang cried so hard that her liver and gallbladder felt like they were about to burst, and the passersby around her began to gossip and point fingers. Many middle-aged women showed pity and sorrow, sighing and lamenting, while the public\'s gaze towards Yang Chen turned into disdain and disgust.
Yang Chen couldn\'t help but laugh bitterly. This girl really knew how to stir up trouble for no reason. Could she just joke around like this casually? But he who has nothing to lose doesn\'t care about reputation. What\'s there to be afraid of?
After thinking for a moment, Yang Chen made up his mind and suddenly reached out his hands, also embracing Tangtang in his arms.
Feeling Yang Chen\'s warm hands holding her waist, Tangtang cursed silently "pervert," but she continued to sob without surrendering, shouting, "Don\'t abandon me and the child..."
The passersby were already discussing fervently, sympathizing with Tangtang, this "pregnant girl."
"These young people these days..."
"I think this girl is quite pitiful. So young, what will become of her in the future?"
"A young man should be responsible. Playing around with a girl like this will incur heavenly punishment!"
"Don\'t be afraid, girl, I\'ll take you to the hospital right away. The surgery will only take ten minutes..."
...
Yang Chen couldn\'t be bothered to pay attention, smirking as he hugged Tangtang in his arms, holding onto her waist to prevent her from leaving.
"Ah!"
Tangtang screamed in surprise, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. She couldn\'t believe that this man, in front of so many people on the street, was so nonchalant, still frivolous, and had the leisure to act like this. Her face turned red with embarrassment.
Tangtang began to struggle, trying to break free from Yang Chen\'s embrace, but she didn\'t have enough strength to do so. She only felt Yang Chen\'s hand on her chest constantly teasing her, making her body as weak as water.
The surrounding passersby were also dumbfounded. Just moments ago, this young couple had been performing a "tragic scene," and now suddenly the girl was lying motionless in the man\'s embrace, blushing like a peach.
Tangtang noticed the strange and varied gazes around her, and she couldn\'t help but start crying in panic.
"You... let go of me..." Tangtang pleaded.
Yang Chen lowered his head and blew warm breath near Tangtang\'s crystal earrings. "Since you\'re carrying my child, what\'s wrong with the child\'s father touching you?"
"I... I won\'t dare anymore, I was wrong... Yang Chen, please let me go... Sir... I\'m begging you..." Tangtang was fake crying before, but now tears were truly streaming down her face. She had originally planned to play with the other party, but now she was the one being held, and her dignity was completely lost!
Yang Chen sneered, "You\'re still young and need discipline. Let me teach you a lesson in place of your parents."
With that, Yang Chen let go of her hand.
Tangtang quickly stepped back a few steps, tears shimmering as she looked at Yang Chen, hating him as she said, "Yang Chen, I will definitely settle the score with you today!"
"Whatever." Yang Chen was annoyed by this boring girl, so he reached into his pocket, intending to take out a cigarette and smoke before heading home.
But at that moment, a black Chevrolet suddenly veered out from the one-way street it was traveling on, onto the opposite lane. There were no cars on the opposite lane at that moment, and the Chevrolet\'s speed suddenly increased dramatically, its engine roaring as it headed straight towards where Tangtang was standing!
The black car, like a sudden steel cannonball on the street, was about to send the girl on the roadside flying!
Several passersby who were about to leave saw this scene and shouted in alarm.
"Miss, be careful!"
Tangtang looked back in confusion, and as if the black car had teleported right in front of her, its black hood rushed towards her like a black lion pouncing, terrifying her!
Before Tangtang could instinctively react or flee, she saw the black car about to run over her. In that instant, she even distinctly felt that she was about to be hit and killed inexplicably!
But at the same time, Tangtang suddenly felt a huge force wrap around her waist, and then her body involuntarily left the ground, spinning!
To the onlookers, the scene just now appeared quite differently. All they saw was Yang Chen suddenly exerting force from his original position, like a white blur. Before they could even make out the trajectory of his movement, Tangtang had already been moved from where she stood to the pedestrian walkway by the roadside!
The black Chevrolet continued to speed past, then quickly merged back into its original lane, as if it had just taken a detour, overtaking a few cars!
Tangtang\'s heart was still in her throat. After realizing she was unharmed, she stared blankly at Yang Chen. "I... I thought I was going to die."
"I suggest you stay off the streets in the future, otherwise, you might not be lucky next time you get hit by a car," Yang Chen said casually as he lit a cigarette.
The surrounding crowd erupted into applause, admiring Yang Chen\'s brave act, although they were also curious about how he could move so fast.
Tangtang calmed down and then, somewhat shaken, patted her chest. "That scared me to death. If it weren\'t for you, I would\'ve been dead. Tell me, how can I thank you?"
"Just don\'t cause me any trouble, and that\'ll be thanks enough," Yang Chen said, shaking his head, intending to leave.
But Tangtang was adamant. She stepped forward and grabbed Yang Chen. "No, at least give me your phone number. I\'ll treat you to a meal next time. If you don\'t give it to me... I\'ll just keep following you like this!"
Yang Chen, feeling helpless, reluctantly gave Tangtang his phone number. Tangtang dialed it to confirm it was correct before smiling brightly.
"Alright, I have to go to my tutoring class now, I\'m almost late. See you later, and I\'ll treat you to a meal whenever I\'m free," Tangtang waved and seemed surprisingly cheerful despite the near accident.
But before Tangtang could take a few steps, a silver Toyota commercial vehicle suddenly stopped by the side of the road. Several muscular men in black suits hurriedly got out.
"Miss, are you okay?"
A man wearing sunglasses and a earpiece, with a square face and average height, seemed to be the leader. As soon as he got out of the car, he asked Tangtang with concern and looked her up and down as if afraid she had been injured.
Tangtang rolled her eyes impatiently. "Little Yong, how many times do I have to tell you? I\'m just going to tutoring class. There\'s no need for so many people to follow me."
"Miss, it\'s really unsafe in Zhonghai recently. The master is worried about your safety, so he ordered us to protect you. Please understand your father\'s concerns and don\'t try to shake us off with any tricks. If we\'re not by your side and something happens to you, how can we explain to the master?" the man called Little Yong advised.
Yang Chen, seeing this scene, was slightly surprised. In a cosmopolitan city like Zhonghai, wealthy people were common, and those who could afford luxury cars were even more numerous. However, those who could afford to hire so many bodyguards to protect a young girl were indeed rare. At the very least, such a person must have a certain social status, or else who would bother to persecute their family.
"Alright, alright," Tangtang interrupted Little Yong, "I know you\'re responsible, but I don\'t like having so many people following me. Since you insist, then do as you please."
Tangtang turned back to Yang Chen and waved, showing a sunny smile. "Uncle, no disappearing acts allowed. I\'ll call you next time, and you better answer."
Yang Chen blew a smoke ring and nodded.
Little Yong and the other bodyguards looked at Yang Chen warily. "Miss, who is this gentleman?"
