Chapter 139: 111 Sovereign Oath, He is my boyfriend (1 more)_1 Chapter 139: 111 Sovereign Oath, He is my boyfriend (1 more)_1 Wu Jie asked incredulously, “Tang Su, it takes two to tango, and they’re in the same workplace, meeting every day, it’s inevitable that…”

When Wu Jie said this, he couldn’t help but hope that Lu Han would make a mistake in his relationship with Tang Su. That way, he might still have a chance.

Tang Su didn’t even turn her head to look at him as her eyes met Lu Han’s, filled with deep affection.

If only Wu Jie and Jiang Shanshan had the sense to see that their feelings for each other were mutual. The flames that leapt in their eyes when they looked at each other were no small sparks.

“Why don’t you ask Doctor Jiang to try it out for you and see if a slap can really make a sound?”

Wu Jie: “…”

Did Tang Su really trust Lu Han that much?

Although she had fallen in love with him at sixteen, they hadn’t seen each other for eight years, had they?

Why did Tang Su trust him so much?

Because of love?

Jiang Shanshan’s face grew even darker and more downcast due to her thwarted scheme, especially after hearing Tang Su’s suggestion that Wu Jie try slapping her.

Without any regard for others, Tang Su walked over to Lu Han. She didn’t even glance at Jiang Shanshan, who was still close by. She reached out and took Lu Han’s hand, and they interlocked their fingers tightly.

What Tang Su was planning to do, Lu Han might not fully anticipate, but as her boyfriend, he was ready to back her up fully, no matter what.

Lu Han hadn’t intended to hurt Wu Jie’s already wounded heart, but since the young man’s earlier remarks were rather offensive, Lu Han no longer felt inclined to spare his feelings.

Lu Han knew that if he ever slipped up and gave Wu Jie something to use against him, the man would surely kick him while he was down and take advantage of the situation.

He had no intention of being polite to him.

Why should he care about Wu Jie’s feelings or whether the man could handle such a blow?

Watching the two across from her intertwine their fingers right in front of her, Jiang Shanshan’s delicate features could no longer maintain their composure.

“Tang Su, is it really appropriate for you to hold hands with your mother’s junior brother like this? Technically, shouldn’t you be calling Lu Han ‘Uncle’?” Jiang Shanshan pointed out the age difference between them, despite it not being large, the generational gap still existed.

Lu Han had called Tang Su’s mother ‘senior sister’ that evening at dinner, which Jiang Shanshan had heard loud and clear.

Did Tang Su truly have no regard for propriety, decency, or shame given their generational difference?

“Uncle? Heh, Doctor Jiang, in your eagerness to win over my boyfriend, you really are stopping at nothing, aren’t you? Do I need to remind you of a teacher’s career span? From standing at the podium at twenty-four to retiring at sixty, the age range of their students is vast; I don’t need to calculate that for you, do I?”

“My boyfriend, when he wasn’t my boyfriend, was right to call my mother ‘senior sister’ since they shared the same teacher. But our country’s laws don’t prohibit me from dating my mother’s junior brother.”

“Doctor Jiang, don’t you agree?”

Jiang Shanshan: “…”

Tang Su’s tongue was indeed sharp.

She was actually openly acknowledging Lu Han as her boyfriend, admitting she was in a relationship with him?

And what about Lu Han?

He watched with a smile as his girlfriend openly confronted her rival, not uttering a word, yet his grip on Tang Su’s hand grew tighter, silently offering encouragement and support.

Jiang Shanshan knew she had lost; no matter how much she struggled, Tang Su’s audacity was sanctioned by Lu Han’s approval.

Not only did Lu Han allow it, but he also wholeheartedly supported it.

“Doctor Jiang, listen closely; I am dating Lu Han, he is my boyfriend. In the future, whether in the hospital or outside, apart from work, please keep your distance from him, ok?”

…

Jiang Shanshan’s eyes reddened, but she didn’t make a sound.

Even though she had heard it with her own ears, she was unwilling to believe that Lu Han had been so easily won over by Tang Su.

After all, there were so many other girls who liked Lu Han, so many…

Why did he have to choose Tang Su, just a young girl?

Was she not as pretty as Tang Su?

Clearly, her looks weren’t inferior to Tang Su’s.

Was it her figure that couldn’t compare to Tang Su’s?

That wasn’t the case either; her chest seemed much more pronounced than Tang Su’s, but being cooped up in a lab coat every day, she hardly had chances to showcase her figure.

But even in her usual attire, like now, she appeared more voluptuous than Tang Su.

So where exactly had she fallen short?

She couldn’t understand it.

“Lu Han, I don’t want to give up,” Jiang Shanshan looked at Lu Han, on the verge of tears.

During those years when I was studying medicine, I had so much to memorize and so many exams to take every day, and I gritted my teeth and persevered. I never once cried about anything related to my studies.

But now, facing the outright rejection from a man I’ve deeply liked for such a long time, Jiang Shanshan truly felt very aggrieved.

Back when I was studying, it was always me rejecting others, I had never been rejected by anyone.

Although Lu Han was not the first man to make me feel attracted, he was the one who made me take the initiative to step forward and confess my feelings.

I thought…

I really thought that as long as I was willing to lower my pride and be more proactive, getting Lu Han wouldn’t be a difficult feat.

But I never expected that he would choose such a naïve girl.

“Doctor Jiang, if you don’t want to give up, you should be saying that to me, not my boyfriend, because whether I’m here or not, he will not accept you.”

“…”

So-called heart-piercing, it’s nothing more than this.

Tang Su’s words made Jiang Shanshan, who had been looking very wronged while looking at Lu Han, turn her head toward Tang Su this moment, her eyes filled with hate.

Her eyes were still bloodshot, but not from feeling wronged, but from anger caused by Tang Su.

What was there for this girl to be so smug about? Her smugness came only from relying on Lu Han’s fondness and interest in her, didn’t it?

Loves and affections come quickly and fade just as fast. Just like her, if she couldn’t hold onto Lu Han’s heart, being dumped by Lu Han would be even more miserable than her current state.

“Tang Su, don’t be smug. I’ve known Lu Han longer than you, liked him longer than you. As long as I don’t give up, I will wait. You have so many weaknesses, how long has it been since you broke up with your ex-boyfriend, and now you’re clinging to him?”

“How valuable could your feelings be?”

“Whether my feelings are valuable is not for you, Doctor Jiang, to decide, but him.” Tang Su turned and looked at Lu Han; the doting and indulgence in his eyes for her made her once again look at Jiang Shanshan with renewed spirit.

“Also, one more thing, Doctor Jiang, you are too full of yourself. How can you be so sure that you’ve known Lu Han longer and liked him more than I have?”

“I’ve liked him since I was sixteen, eight years by now, and he is still my No. 1 in my heart. Can you, Doctor Jiang, surpass those eight years?”

Still don’t want to give up?

If you don’t want to give up, don’t try to compare the length of time you’ve known Lu Han as a way to compete with me, right?

“Impossible, Lu Han, don’t believe her. If she truly liked you for eight years, what was the deal with her ex-boyfriend who made a scene on the internet?”

“Jiang Shanshan should have heard of settling for second best. In the past two years, I thought I would never reunite with him in this lifetime, so if I ultimately couldn’t avoid getting married, I had to pick someone, right?”

Jiang Shanshan: “…”

Wasn’t Jiang Shanshan aware of this?

Her mother had also said the same thing to her: if one had the chance to marry the person they liked when they were young, nothing could be better. But if one couldn’t find them or missed the opportunity, could they just not marry at all?

Therefore, even if Lu Han rejected her tonight, she couldn’t possibly become a nun just because of Lu Han’s rejection.

She would still marry, and there would be a man in her life who would become her husband.

Even if there was no love.

“Lu Han…” Jiang Shanshan stubbornly refused to give up.

“Why are your hands so cold? Stop talking, let’s go upstairs.” Lu Han took off his jacket and draped it over Tang Su.

Tang Su wasn’t actually cold, considering just moments before she was like a combative hen protecting her chickens, and what she was protecting was Lu Han.

“Hmm.” Tang Su nodded and followed Lu Han as they turned and entered the residential area.

Jiang Shanshan: “…”

They were actually living together?

When did this happen?

Behind them, Wu Jie, who had quietly witnessed the spectacle of a loving couple battling a love rival, silently got into the waiting taxi and left.

By the time Jiang Shanshan came back to her senses, she realized it was really getting late, and outside Tingzhu Building, there were few people around.

At that moment, her phone rang. Her mother was worried because she hadn’t come home so late; tomorrow was her uncle’s birthday, and the Jiang Family needed to help out early. Without her returning, her mother couldn’t sleep peacefully.

“Hmm, I’m coming back now, Mom.” Jiang Shanshan’s voice was choked.

“What’s wrong? Have you been crying?”

“No, it’s just a bit cold.”

“Then hurry and drive back. Mom left some silver fungus soup for you.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

Jiang Shanshan hung up the phone, stood still for a while, and then turned around to leave…
