Chapter 22 I am ruined

Tang Baobao finished showering at almost 5 o’clock and then laid on the sofa before soon falling sleep. His body was completely exhausted both physically and mentally in the last two days.

When Tang Baobao opened his eyes, he found that it was already bright outside. He picked up his phone and found it was already 7:30 am, he needed to leave for work soon.

He dragged his exhausted body to the toilet in his half-conscious state and it looked as if he was sleepwalking.

He stood in front of the comet bowl and took off his pants before yawning.

“What are you doing?”

Tang Baobao who was preparing to pee was stupefied when he heard the ice-cold voice. As he looked at the person sitting on top of the toilet bowl, his entire body froze in shock.

One second….

Two seconds….

Ten seconds……

Tang Baobao swallowed his saliva as he looked at Ping Luoling, who was flushed red in anger, sitting on top of the toilet bowl. What the hell was going on? Why was she sitting on top of the toilet bowl when he came ……..

“You are still not going out!!!” Ping Luoling shouted coldly.

“I am sorry …. I am sorry…. I …… I …… I did not do it purposely …. You came in and did not lock the door……?” Tang Baobao was already speaking incoherently.

Ping Luoling felt giddy with her head spinning,[1] was he blaming her for the entire incident? It is no wonder that Rui Rui had said that her brother was a dense man, his actions are those of a super dense man!!!

“Go out,” Ping Luoling started to cry.

Tang Baobao immediately took his pants and rushed out of the bathroom covering his weapon. He leaned against the wall, gasped for breath and quickly wore his pants. Fortunately I did not urinate inside the toilet, otherwise I would have been done for!

After sitting on the sofa for 10 minutes, Luo Bai walked out of her bedroom and found her son sitting on the sofa and lost in his own thoughts. She asked, “What happened?”

“There is someone inside the toilet,” Tang Baobao reminded her.

“What is the relationship between me asking ‘what happened’ and you saying ‘there is someone inside the toilet’?” Luo Bai was curious as to why her son spoke foolishly.

At that time, Pin Luoling blushingly got out of the toilet and caught sight of Luo Bai, who was stunned, she immediately smiled, “Auntie.”

“Hum[2], did you sleep well last night?” Luo Bai asked with a beaming smile. The voice of the girl was extremely soft and was pleasant to hear.

“Thank you for asking,” Ping Luoling replied while gazing at the dazed Tang Baobao. She wished she could die in such a way so as to ensure he died as well (to end in mutual destruction)

Luo Bai was extremely happy with her, “Auntie will immediately make breakfast so sit down for some time.”

“I should not trouble you so much.”

“There is no trouble, you sit down, don’t go otherwise auntie will be unhappy.”

Ping Luoling smiled gently but as soon as she turned her head, her face was covered with a layer of frost and she sat next to Tang Baobao.

Tang Baobao immediately got up from his seat and went to the toilet. She was originally thinking of chasing after him. But given what had transpired, she was debating whether she would grab hold of a knife or chase after him without that.

She watched Tang Baobao escape into the toilet before she had yet to come to a decision. Ping Luoling clutched the quilt tightly while her chest dilated with anger.

Tang Baobao who was hiding inside the toilet could only sigh. He understood that he needed to run away as soon as he leaves the toilet. In any case, there was no chance they would have a meeting in the future.

However, he thought that ever since he had met Mu Kexin yesterday, his life had turned upside down. If it were not for her, he would not have returned home so late at night. On top of that, not only was he caught by his sister but because he did not sleep well, he also in front of Ping Luoling ……

Even the male lead of a soap opera[3] does not face so much trouble in his daily life.

Tang Baobao washed his face and opened the toilet door. He was prepared to run at any moment.

“Baobao, eat porridge and then go to work,” he saw Luo Bai take out the freshly cooked porridge from the kitchen and also saw his Dad sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

His sister had also woken up and was talking with Ping Luoling. His sister would cast a strange look at him from time to time.

‘If this kind of misunderstanding spreads then even if I die I would not be able to clear it!!’

“No, I do not have time, I will be late,” Tang Baobao was urgently looking for an excuse to leave the house.

Xiao Hanrui came forward and indifferently stated, “Why are you so anxious to leave, it is still early, eat porridge and then go to work.”

Ping Luoling had also gotten up and was blocking his way out of the house. Tang Baobao understood he could do nothing in this kind of situation.

After washing their faces and rinsing their mouths, everyone sat on the dining table and ate a nice and warm breakfast.

“Godfather, godmother, I haven’t introduced her to you guys yet. She is my best friend, Ping Luoling,” Xiao Hanrui stood up to introduce her.

Ping Luoling stood up and courteous said, “Hello, uncle and aunt.”

Tang Cheng smiled happily, “Hello.”

“Don’t mind if auntie calls you ling ling,” Luo Bai personally poured porridge in Ping Luoling’s bowl.

“Of course, you can auntie,” Ping Luoling laughed softly.

Tang Baobao was really amazed at the workings of his chief justice mother. She had brought their relationship closer just by speaking a few sentences. You don’t need to be a good detective to find out what she will do next.

“Lingling, do you have a boyfriend?”

He knew she will say this.

Xiao Hanrui was also helpless.

“Auntie, I haven’t found one yet,” Ping Luoling narrated with her lovely voice while eating porridge in a graceful manner.

The two of them were quite satisfied with her actions. She was simply a perfect daughter-in-law in their eyes.

In the next fifteen minutes, Luo Bai showcased her ability as a chief justice and made various enquiries so much so that Tang Baobao wanted to drill a hole under the table.

Ping Luoling carefully replied to all her enquiries and from beginning to the end showed no impatient expression on her face. Her actions increased the favorable view his parents had of her and was sufficient enough to demonstrate that she had an excellent character.

As the series of enquiries continued, Ping Luoling replied to one of the questions of her family by saying that her family had a small business, which were very modest remarks…….

The two of them did not care about the size of her family’s business. They realized a family that could educate such a girl must be a learned and respectable family.

Finally the two were satisfied with her answers and let her go.

As the three of them walked out of the house together, they came across one of the neighbors of the Tang family who was also leaving her house.

“Baobao, Ruirui, who is she? Ok ok don’t tell me, let me guess first. She must be Baobao’s girlfriend, she is indeed very beautiful.”

Tang Baobao found himself dumbfounded when he heard this.

However, who could have imagined Ping Luoling to reply to her smilingly, “You are also very beautiful, Aunt Liu.”

Aunt Liu become very happy when she praised her beauty. Tang Baobao understood that the tragedy had begun the moment they met Aunt Liu. She had already misunderstood Ping Luoling as his girlfriend and he could guarantee that when he returned from work today, the whole neighborhood would know that he was no longer single but rather had an amazingly beautiful girlfriend.

He could sense the murderous spirit in her eyes and knew that she was taking her revenge.

On the other hand, Xiao Hanrui was confused with her actions. What had happened to Ping Luoling today? Has she gone crazy today?

Aunt Liu was disseminating news downstairs at a time when most people leave their houses for work. Thus, the bustling scene gathered most of the neighborhood aunts who are idle around this time.

The way Ping Luoling greeted everyone with a smile gave of the impression she had already regarded herself as a member of the Tang family household.

Immediately, Tang Baobao ran towards his car. He quickly wanted to go out of the neighborhood.

However, God seemed to be toying with him, as no matter how hard he tried, he could not start his car. He felt the whole world seemed to be conspiring against himself today.

Xiao Hanrui knocked on his car window and Tang Baobao had no other choice but to come out of his car.

“Speak! What is going on?”

It seems that Ping Luoling had not informed her about the incident. At last there is some good news.

“I do not know what you are talking about! Though I am getting late for work,” Tang Baobao has now become a great actor, even his facial expressions suggested he was genuinely confused giving no impression that he was acting.

Xiao Hanrui got puzzled upon hearing his answer but she did not doubt that Tang Baobao had done any misdeed. She thought that Ping Luoling must be teasing her younger brother with her actions but her thought never went towards any other direction.
