Chapter 174: Resist Him

Moreover, after knowing that she was going to spend the New Year here with them tomorrow, Father and mother Tao were extremely happy. They even asked her in detail what she liked to eat and insisted on preparing the dishes that she liked to eat tomorrow.

Tang Xiaowei was extremely touched. Then, she remembered that she had just rushed over and did not bring any gifts, so she felt even more embarrassed.

However, father and mother Tao did not care about these things at all. They only told her that dinner was being prepared and told her to go upstairs to chat with Tao Yuyan first.

Therefore, thinking that something was wrong with Tao Yuyan just now, Tang Xiaowei and Tao Yuyan went upstairs together.

Tao Yuyan had just rushed downstairs impulsively and ran all the way to the entrance of the residential area. Fortunately, she stood for a while and waited for Tang Xiaowei.

Now, with Tang Xiaowei accompanying her upstairs, she was no longer as afraid as before.

When she went upstairs, she deliberately looked up and did not see Tao Xian, which made her even more relieved.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Xiaowei turned to look at Tao Yuyan, only to find that Tao Yuyan was absent-minded.

Just when Tao Yuyan did not notice and was about to step on air, Tang Xiaowei suddenly shouted into her ear, "Hey, you're back."

"What... What's wrong?" Tao Yuyan immediately came back to her senses. She was obviously shocked and looked at Tang Xiaowei in surprise.

Tang Xiaowei frowned, "What's wrong with you? You were clearly fine when I called you a few days ago. You were also very normal when you called me just now. Why do I feel that you've become like this in less than an hour? Are you sick?"

Tao Yuyan shook her head and sighed. She was about to speak when she suddenly remembered that they were in the stairwell. It was still not convenient for her to voice her worries here.

"Let's go back to my room first." After saying that, she pulled Tang Xiaowei upstairs and walked towards her room.

However, to ge to her room she had to pass through Tao Xian's room. Initially, Tao Xian's room door was closed, and she held Tang Xiaowei's hand, so her courage was much greater.

However, she did not expect that just as the two of them reached Tao Xian's door, his door was suddenly opened.

The tall figure of a man suddenly stood at the door, staring at the two of them with a dark gaze.

No, it should be that his gaze was only on her, as if he wanted to eat her up.

Tao Yuyan was shocked by his gaze, especially when he suddenly appeared. She subconsciously retreated.

Tang Xiaowei, who was held by her hand, had no choice but to take a few steps back.

Seeing this situation, Tao Xian revealed a self-deprecating sneer. "Sister, what are you doing? Am I that scary?"

Tao Yuyan ignored him and did not want to talk to him. She pursed her lips tightly and did not look at him.

Seeing this, Tao Xian looked at Tang Xiaowei and said in a resentful tone, "Student Tang, it's almost New Year's tomorrow. You are quite free."

His gaze swept over Tang Xiaowei and then fixed on her and Tao Yuyan's tightly clasped hands.

He wanted to hold Tao Yuyan's hand, but it never came true.

However, this Tang Xiaowei could always easily get the benefits he had been looking forward to. A certain man was really jealous and envious of Tang Xiaowei.

"What does my idleness have to do with you? I'm here to look for Tao Yuyan to enjoy her company. You, little brother, don't bother about us sisters. Go play somewhere else." Tang Xiaowei was not afraid of Tao Xian. Moreover, because she knew that Tao Xian liked to bully Tao Yuyan many times, and Tao Yuyan was the adopted daughter of the Tao family, Tang Xiaowei would always verbally help Tao Yuyan teach this little brother a lesson.

"You... " Although Tao Xian kept calling Tao Yuyan sister, he was only two months younger than Tao Yuyan.

In fact, he wanted Tao Yuyan to treat him as her younger brother in her heart, so he was really angry when Tang Xiaowei said that.

Tao Yuyan understood him a little. Seeing that he showed signs of anger, she finally raised her head to look at him. Her tone was distant and cold. "Ah Xian, Xiaowei's parents are not at home. She will be staying at our house from today onwards. She will also be spending the New Year at our house tomorrow. Even if you hate me, please don't bully my friends."

After she finished explaining in a serious and warning tone, she finally did not stay where she was. Instead, she pulled Tang Xiaowei and left directly. She opened the door beside her, walked in with Tang Xiaowei, and gently closed the door.

Tao Xian was left alone outside.

His face was gloomy. It was obvious that he was very angry.

Tao Yuyan's cold words just now were still ringing in his ears.

He did not care who would spend the New Year with him at his house. It was not that he was so stingy that he did not allow Tao Yuyan to bring her friends back.

However, why was Tao Yuyan so against him?

Before he kissed her, she was still gentle and considerate to him. She was also very obedient to him.

However, after that kiss the other day, her attitude towards him had completely changed.

She avoided him whenever she saw him, never looked him in the eye again, and even treated him coldly. Just now, he was simply jealous that Tang Xiaowei was able to hold her hand, so he said a few angry words. However, in Tao Yuyan's eyes, he actually hated her!

Tao Xian sneered.

If he hated Tao Yuyan, would he be so upset and conflicted at this moment?

This slow-witted woman actually had the nerve to be his sister. If she were to be his sister, he would think that she was stupid!

...

After entering Tao Yuyan's room, the moment she went through the door, Tao Yuyan let go of Tang Xiaowei's hand and walked to the sofa to sit down. Her face was still pale.

Tang Xiaowei walked over and sat down beside her.

Regarding Tao Yuyan's sudden strange behavior and the conversation between Tao Yuyan and Tao Xian, Tang Xiaowei could roughly guess that Tao Yuyan was unhappy at this moment because of Tao Xian.

"Yuyan, are you unhappy because of Tao Xian? Did he bully you again?"

Tao Yuyan had never wanted to hide the things that had happened to Tang Xiaowei.

She didn't say it before because Tang Xiaowei was still abroad and Tang Xiaowei had her own troubles, so Tao Yuyan didn't want to disturb Tang Xiaowei.

Now, she had been in a panic for a few days, and Tang Xiaowei was back, so Tao Yuyan naturally planned to say it.

She nodded. "Okay."

"It's true. What did he do to you? Let's go tell Tao Baba and mother Tao and let them teach this brat a lesson." Tang Xiaowei knew that Tao Baba and mother Tao treated Tao Yuyan very well, as if she were their own daughter.

Therefore, now that she was pregnant, she could not go up and help Tao Yuyan beat up this brat Tao Xian. She could only choose to ask papa Tao and mama Tao for help.

Hearing this, Tao Yuyan's face turned even paler.

She hurriedly grabbed the slightly agitated Tang Xiaowei and shook her head at her. Her face was full of embarrassment. "Don't go to Papa and Mama Tao. We can't tell them about this."

"What exactly is it? Why can't we tell them?" Tang Xiaowei was even more worried about Tao Yuyan's reaction.
