Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 468

After returning home, Elder Tang sat alone in his study room for quite some time holding onto the black box that Mo Ting had given him. After hesitating for a while, he ended up locking the box in his safe. He knew that if he was to look at the contents of the box, he would not be able to endure another second around Tang Xuan.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was Tang Xuan, "Grandfather, may I come in?"

Elder Tang adjusted his complex expression and replied, "Come in."

Tang Xuan pushed open the door and entered, revealing a dazzling smile. She directly approached Elder Tang, grabbed onto his arm and started swaying it from side to side, "Grandfather, it's so boring being a pregnant woman at home. Can I go out and do some work?"

Work...

After Elder Tang uncovered the true Tang Xuan, everything that came out of her mouth sounded like it was a part of her scheme.

Tang Xuan mentioned working because she obviously wanted to use the child as an excuse to return to Tang Corps. and set the foundations for her comeback.

"You've only fallen pregnant not long ago. If you work, you will tire out my precious grandchild."

"No I won't, grandfather. You know how I am. The more you won't allow me to do something...the more I want to do it."

Elder Tang was well aware of her temper. It seemed, Tang Xuan was under the assumption that even if Elder Tang didn't hand the family business over to her, he would at least give her back her previous role. But...

...her assumptions were wrong...

Elder Tang agreed to let her work. He knew if he didn't, she would put on another act to gain sympathy. So, he smiled and patted her on the back of the hand, "OK, I'll let you work. I'll make a phone call in a moment to organize everything for you. But, you need to promise me that you'll take good care of your body and won't work as hard as you used to."

"Thank you, grandfather," Tang Xuan cheered. She assumed, judging by the way her grandfather spoiled her, it was only a matter of time before she'd kick Xia Yuling out and retrieve what belonged to her.

"Get some rest. Grandfather still needs to look through some documents." After everything that happened, Elder Tang now found Tang Xuan's smile scary and fake.

She was meant be a part of the family, but instead, she was like a demon that enjoyed hurting the most important people around her.

"OK."

Tang Xuan achieved her motive, so she turned to leave the room. At this moment, Elder Tang suddenly held her back, "Go upstairs and tell Yuling to come see me."

"I'll go right away."

Tang Xuan assumed that Elder Tang wanted to see Xia Yuling about giving her back her role in the company, so she immediately headed to Xia Yuling's room. Keeping up with her weak act, she said, "Auntie, grandfather wants to see you in the study room."

Xia Yuling held back the urge to slap Tang Xuan across the face as she kept her focus on the documents in her hands, "I'll be down there in a second."

Tang Xuan's gaze contained a trace of victory. She could already imagine that Xia Yuling's role would soon be non-existent.

However, she had no idea how much self control it took for Xia Yuling to hold herself back from hitting her...

Not long after, Xia Yuling headed downstairs and entered Elder Tang's study room, "Father, you asked for me?"

Elder Tang pointed to the doorway with his chin, gesturing to her that Tang Xuan may be eavesdropping, "Follow me."

Xia Yuling nodded her head and accompanied Elder Tang out onto the balcony where Tang Xuan no longer had the chance to eavesdrop.

"Tang Xuan wants to go back to work at Tang Corps., so I agreed to let her return..."

"Father..."
