Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 14 After You Raise Me

Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment, dreaming back countless times at midnight, wasn't it just to wait for this sentence?

But now that it actually happened, he felt like a dream.

Suddenly, a piercing whistle broke all illusions.

Zhao Dong woke up like a dream, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry."

"why?"

"I am married."

An extremely natural sentence made Zhao Dong feel an unprecedented joy.

At the moment, he no longer misses it any longer, let alone has the slightest fetters, and strode back into the car without stopping.

Sophie pulled up the makeup mirror, and when she looked up, she happened to catch a glimpse of Shu Qing's gaze, which was soft and cold, and piercing to the heart.

The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and she couldn't help being a little proud. Even if I don't like Zhao Dong, he is still my man. As long as I haven't let go, when will it be your turn to poach someone?

Zhao Dong didn't know that the eyes of the two women had exchanged turns, and he gently closed the car door, "Let's go."

Sophie shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to spoil your atmosphere on purpose, I accidentally bumped into it."

An unconvincing explanation made Zhao Dong feel funny.

Sophie said casually: "Why are you smiling so obscenely? Could it be that the sound of the waves is still there? Don't worry, I won't stop you. When the Civil Affairs Bureau opens tomorrow, we will just go through the formalities."

Zhao Dong shook his head, "No, I just didn't expect that a goddess like you would be jealous."

"Jealous? I will eat your jealousy? What good things are you thinking about!"

Sophie rolled her eyes, and when the car slid past Shu Qing, half of the window was lowered by accident.

She waved her hand and said in a good mood, "Doctor Shu, see you some other day!"

"Okay, see you another day!"

Shu Qing raised the corner of her mouth, quite provocatively.

Sophie didn't look back from the rearview mirror until the car drove out of the hospital.

"I can't tell, you are quite popular with women. If you weren't here just now, this woman would definitely drag me into a fight."

Zhao Dong asked curiously, "Are you also afraid?"

Sophie asked back of course, "Of course I'm not afraid, but why should I fight with other women because of you?"

Seeing that he couldn't talk to her, Zhao Dong simply shut up.

Sophie persisted, "Don't pretend to be dead, tell me, what is the relationship between you and Uncle Huang? I really can't think of it. I have known Uncle Huang for so many years, but I don't have as much face as you!"

"Working relationship."

Sophie thought she had caught his weakness, "Job? Where did you get the job? Didn't you serve as a soldier before? I warn you, don't lie to me, even if you don't tell me, I can still ask Uncle Huang come out!"

Zhao Dong's memory vaguely recalled that year, "Professor Huang used to conduct scientific research abroad, and when he encountered a riot by local terrorists, I was the one who brought him back to China."

"You mean the peacekeeping force?"

It's not that Sophie is smart, but war in a peaceful age, which is easy to associate.

"That's it."

Zhao Dong didn't explain too much.

Sophie was very puzzled, and continued to ask this question, but no matter how she asked, she could never get the answer she wanted to know.

"Cut, what a stinky fart!"

She said she didn't care, but she was extremely curious in her heart.

Her intuition told her that it must not be as light as what Zhao Dong said, which can be seen from Professor Huang's attitude.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"You clearly know Uncle Huang, but you didn't tell him earlier, did you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger on purpose?"

"I really didn't see that you are so dirty!"

"I'm satisfied now, that Cui Jian wants to hug your thigh, even Shu Qing has the intention to change her mind, I was a bad person today!"

Zhao Dong shouted injustice, "You misunderstood. I only knew that Professor Huang was engaged in drug research and development. How did I know that he was the director of Tianzhou Hospital?"

"Besides, the last time we met was a few years ago, and I had already forgotten about it."

Sophie believed eight percent in her heart, but her mouth was dissatisfied, "I think you did it on purpose, I don't care, I'm not balanced!"

Zhao Dong looked at the time, "Then shall I treat you to dinner to make amends?"

"Why, eating Malatang again?"

Sophie was just teasing at first, and didn't deliberately sarcasm, but it reminded people of the unhappiness at noon.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhao Dong changed the subject, "Is there a supermarket nearby? Let's go buy something."

Now it was Sophie's turn to be surprised, "You want to cook?"

Zhao Dong didn't explain, and when Sophie stopped the car, he walked quickly into the supermarket.

Sophie hesitated for a moment before following in.

As the apple of the eye of the Su family, she often goes to the supermarket, but this is the first time she buys vegetables.

Curiosity and freshness played a role, causing her to follow in by accident.Zhao Dong pushed the shopping cart in front, and Sophie followed behind a few steps.

Fearing that Zhao Dong would misunderstand, she hurriedly said, "I declare in advance that I don't know how to cook, and I have never used the kitchen at home. Don't count on me!"

Of course, Zhao Dong didn't expect Goddess Su to go to the kitchen for him, so he simply asked her about her taste.

Sophie couldn't report the name of the dish, but just casually mentioned a few ingredients.

Zhao Dong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Her taste is light, just fresh and fragrant. She doesn't like sweet and sour or spicy, and she doesn't conflict with herself.

Not long after, a piece of fish, half a catty of meat and a few vegetables were loaded into the car.

Sophie satisfied her curiosity, so she stopped wandering around immediately, and came to the snack area familiarly, and filled the shopping cart in a short time.

When paying the bill, Zhao Dong was dumbfounded.

This order actually cost more than 800 yuan, and the grocery shopping was at most 300 yuan. The rest were all imported snacks and various dried fruits. The box of chocolates alone cost more than [-] yuan.

For the first time, he felt the huge gap between himself and the goddess. Just such a cart of snacks cost half a month's salary, not to mention the cosmetics that cost hundreds or even thousands.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed, it's more stressful!

Enjoying the envious eyes brought by the goddess is certainly enjoyable, but the price behind it is really not small.

Sure enough, Miss Su is really not something that ordinary men can serve.

He originally thought that the two were just different in temperament and worldview, and they could always smooth out the edges and corners after getting used to each other slowly.

But after getting in touch, I discovered that the consumption habits alone are a huge gap that cannot be bridged!
Let Miss Su, who has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, live her life according to her duties?

How to say this sentence is like a fantasy.

Sophie also noticed something strange, worried about Zhao Dong's embarrassment, she took the initiative to explain, "It's nothing, basically it's all my stuff, I'll just pay the bill."

As if she had been prepared for a long time, she took out the bank card from her bag and handed it over before her.

Before Zhao Dong could speak, the slap in the face happened, the beeping sound was ear-piercing, and there was no money in the bank card.

Sophie was puzzled and handed over another card at the same time, still the same result.

Now it was Sophie's turn to be embarrassed. She was not in the habit of carrying cash, but she searched through all the cards in her wallet and passed them one after another, but none of them worked!
The people in the queue behind started talking.

"Can you hurry up, there are so many people waiting!"

"What supermarket do you have no money for? Really!"

Sophie asked angrily, "Is there something wrong with your machine?"

The attitude of the cashier was slightly indifferent, "Sorry, the machine is normal."

When did Sophie suffer this kind of grievance, but there was no place to attack it, and the predicament of having no money made her wish to find a crack in the ground.

At the critical moment, Zhao Dong rescued her, "I'll do it."

After speaking, he handed over his salary card.

Checkout by swiping the card, the machine is not abnormal at all.

When she walked out of the cash register, Sophie lowered her head so that no one could see the expression on her face.

"I borrowed this money, I will pay you back when I go back!"

Zhao Dong didn't intend to ask her to pay it back, but saying this now would only embarrass her even more, so he acquiesced.

Sophie walked a few steps quickly, took out her phone to check it for a while, and then made a call.

After a while, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Sophie asked in a bad tone, "Is it your fault?"

The woman seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and asked calmly, "I don't understand what you said."

"Why are all my bank cards frozen?"

"The Su family is in a difficult situation now. All the money has to be used to tide over the difficulties. Except for salary, the family has no extra money for you."

Sophie was speechless for a moment, "You..."

The woman replied coldly, "Isn't this the result you want? Isn't this the freedom you want? Since you don't want to bear the pressure brought by the family, this is what you have to face!"

Sophie saw through the other party's mind, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that you can force me to submit!"

The woman said quietly, "I didn't intend to force you, you know the situation at home better than me."

After thinking about it, she added, "By the way, you can use the villa and car first, and if the situation worsens, the family can take them back."

Sophie was angry, "Wu Mei, don't go too far! The house is my birthday present from my father, what right do you have to take it away?"

On the phone, they were tit-for-tat, "Just because I am your aunt and your father is still in a coma, I have the final say at home!"

Sophie sneered, "So you can occupy the magpie's nest in a fair manner?"

The woman didn't quarrel with her, and eased her tone, "I know you and that little security guard are just playing around, as long as you are willing to turn around, I believe we can work together to tide over the difficulties!"

Sophie looked back at Zhao Dong, and said unconvinced: "We are living a happy life, you don't need to worry about it!"

The woman directly pointed it out, "Really? I have inquired about Zhao Dong's background. He is a veteran. He has a sick mother at home. All the resettlement fees for veterans are used to pay for hospitalization."

"More than 50 yuan in surgery fees, even if you pay for him in advance, the later recovery will be a bottomless pit!"

As she spoke, her voice was almost sarcasm, "How can he fill it with his monthly salary of 5000 or [-] yuan? How can he support you?"

Sophie was powerless to refute, and simply mocked: "If I starve to death, wouldn't that just follow your wishes?"

The woman's voice raised a few degrees, "You don't like Wei Dongming, I can introduce someone else for you! Are you really going to ruin your own happiness just to fight against me?"

Sophie clenched the corners of her mouth tightly, tears welling in her eyes, "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it!"

The woman sighed, "Come back if you can't hold on anymore. As long as I'm here, no one at home will dare to laugh at you! If you really do fake tricks with that little security guard, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

She understood Sophie's temper, and she would not take the hard way. If this trick didn't work, she had other ways.

In short, we just can't let that little security guard, who is not well-known, enter the room in a grandiose way!

Zhao Dong didn't know that he had been sentenced to death. He was holding shopping bags in both hands. Although he didn't hear the content of the phone call, he could vaguely guess from Sophie's expression.

Originally, I wanted to go forward to comfort him, but I didn't know how to speak.

Especially Sophie's bright red eyes and her stubborn refusal to bow her head made him feel distressed.

Sophie spoke first, "Does what you said before still count?"

Zhao Dong was stunned, "What are you talking about?"

"You will support me from now on!"
