Chapter 1792: Unlucky Heiress (60)

"Tao Yu, you're really something." Holding his phone, Tang Kui smiled faintly, though his words carried a trace of gritted teeth.

Tao Yu replied, "We've grown up together. We're closer than real brothers. Tang Kui, aside from Xiao Guo, no one ranks higher than you in my heart. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"

Tang Kui snorted. "Not only are you something, you're shameless."

"We're men. What's a little face worth?"

"Despicable villain."

"A gentleman or a villain, everyone has their own interpretation. If you disagree, feel free to keep your opinion to yourself." Tao Yu was in a wonderful mood. "Tang Kui, you have to admit that whenever you negotiate contracts, you're just as much of a villain."

"Enough nonsense. So what if my parents have approved of you pursuing Guoguo? You're not together yet. What are you so proud of? In the end, it all depends on Guoguo. If one day she stops liking you, then you'll have something to cry about."

Tao Yu wasn't worried in the slightest. Somewhere deep down, he had a feeling that as long as he behaved himself, treated Xiao Guo well forever, and listened to her, she would never abandon him.

"I won't give Xiao Guo a chance to abandon me. Tang Kui, in one particular identity, I'm willing to bow my head to you—for example, by calling you Brother-in-law."

Tang Kui finally snapped and cursed, "Get lost."

Then he hung up the phone and slammed it hard onto the desk, his expression especially ugly.

Brother-in-law?

Did he care?

He absolutely didn't care whether Tao Yu called him brother-in-law or not.

How could his parents be so lacking in principles? Tao Yu's silver tongue only knew how to say nice things. A few pleasant words and they were already won over. If Tao Yu had actually been his biological brother, with his ability to sweet-talk people and attract attention, Tang Kui felt he probably would have grown up neglected and starved of affection.

Tang Guo spent her days balancing study with her internship at the company. On weekends, she also went to driving school, making herself busier than ever. Naturally, every time she practiced driving, Tao Yu stayed by her side.

Needless to say, Tang Kui was busy as well.

As a result, even when Tang Yi came home on weekends, she wasn't guaranteed to see Tang Kui.

Tang Yi had noticed something.

Whenever Tang Guo was home, Tang Kui was usually there too.

But whenever Tang Guo wasn't home, Tang Kui was definitely absent.

This realization made her miserable.

She could no longer endure it.

Tang Guo was only Tang Kui's sister, so why did she occupy all of his attention?

Why couldn't he see her?

Late that night, Tang Yi took out the lucky charm once again. Looking at the smooth surface of the stone, she bit her lip and, with a ballpoint pen, wrote down her wish:

"To obtain Tang Kui's true heart and spend a happy lifetime with him."

After writing it down, she didn't set the lucky charm aside. Instead, she held it tightly in her hand as she lay down, closed her eyes, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

In her heart, she silently repeated that as long as she could have Tang Kui, she wanted nothing else.

In this world, the person she desired most was Tang Kui.

As long as she could be with him, she was willing to pay any price.

As drowsiness overtook her, she had no idea that the lucky charm had begun to emit a faint glow.

Had she awakened at that moment, she would have discovered that the words she had written had already disappeared.

In her dream, Tang Yi found herself reliving that same dream again.

But this time, it was very different from before.

In the previous dream, most of what she had seen had been the happy life she shared with Tang Kui.
