Chapter 367 - 257: Each Takes What They Need
Tang Xi did not immediately refuse.
Because she also needed a boyfriend.
Having experienced so many things, in the hospital, quite a few senior colleagues had tried to set her up with boyfriends. She had rejected them several times, but each time she had to go reluctantly to save face. The boyfriends these seniors introduced were always those who were divorced and older in age.
Clearly, she had been labeled as a divorced woman with a child and a burden in the eyes of these senior colleagues.
Despite looking down on herself, due to Tang Xi’s attractive appearance, she was still treated by these senior colleagues as a favor to be given away each time.
She also needed a ’boyfriend’ to shut her colleagues up.
Tang Xi’s silence made Song Yanchu somewhat embarrassed, after all, it was absurd to make such a request to a woman who he had only met a few times and was still a relative stranger. He knew he was in the wrong, hence he spoke, "Sorry, Miss Tang, that was terribly abrupt... Excuse me."
"Teacher Song, I accept your request, but I have a condition that I hope you can agree to."
Song Yanchu said, "What condition, tell me."
"We both have needs. You need a girlfriend to start appeasing your grandmother; I too need a boyfriend. As you know, I’ve been married once and have a daughter. You need to accept my daughter nominally, and, when I need you to attend gatherings with my colleagues, you cannot refuse. We should coexist peacefully for mutual benefit."
