My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1062 Bottom Line Exposed

Lu Tiance advised Rong Rong to rest after her meal, but alas, she insisted on accompanying him on a walk instead.

As soon as they stepped out of the camp, they were greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful sunset.

Rong Rong was in high spirits and started to run, prompting Lu Tiance to follow closely behind.

“We can't make any noise here!” he warned.

With that, Rong Rong quickly shut her mouth.

Even though the weather had already transitioned into early winter, the woman wore nothing more than a thin

jacket.

Upon realizing that, Lu Tiance removed his coat and draped it over Rong Rong's shoulders.

“This is just like a scene from a romantic drama,” Rong Rong said with a chuckle.

“What?” Lu Tiance muttered, not at all understanding what she meant.

He had never watched romantic dramas before, so it was hardly surprising that he knew nothing about them.

“Do you want me to enlighten you?” Rong Rong asked, a mischievous smile tugging at her lips.

Oblivious to the subtle social cues, Lu Tiance replied, “No, thank you.”

For a moment, Rong Rong was stunned. “All the more reason to tell you, then!”

This time, it was Lu Tiance's turn to be shocked. Huh? What reasoning is that? I've already said I don't want to

know, yet she still insists on telling me. Is she forcing her ideas on me?

“In many romantic dramas, the male and female leads often find themselves caught in heavy rain or snow. To

portray the male lead as a warm-hearted man, he'd remove his coat and drape it over the female lead,” Rong Rong

said smilingly. “It's just like what you're doing now.”

Lu Tiance, however, was appalled. “Isn't that the most basic principle of being a human, though? If I were on a

mission with my subordinates and they were freezing, I'd give them my coat, too.”

Upon hearing that, Rong Rong felt a sense of defeat.

“How is that the same? When you drape a coat over your subordinates, it's your way of caring for them.”

“I'm offering you my coat because I also care about you and don't want you to catch a cold. What does this have to

do with romantic dramas?” Lu Tiance retorted.

Rong Rong suddenly wanted to turn and walk away so she could ignore the rigid, hard-headed fool before her.

However, after seeing Lu Tiance's serious expression, she felt the slight urge to laugh.

I can't believe how dense this guy is. Come to think of it... I doubt he has ever been in a relationship. Who could put

up with his woodenness?

“Tiance, have you really never been in love?” Rong Rong asked.

Alas, Lu Tiance was reluctant to respond to that. “The sun is about to set, and it'll get colder. Let's head back. I'll

arrange for someone to escort you out.”

“Are you sending me away?” Rong Rong blurted out.

Lu Tiance nodded.

“I finally found you after overcoming countless obstacles, and now you're asking me to leave?” the woman added.

“This is a restricted area. Unauthorized individuals aren't allowed to enter at will, let alone stay overnight.”

Lu Tiance advised Rong Rong to rest after her meal, but alas, she insisted on accompanying him on a walk instead.

“But I'm not some random person! We're like siblings!” Rong Rong exclaimed.

Sadly, Lu Tiance remained unmoved. “You still have to leave.”

“I can't leave now,” Rong Rong grumbled as she stomped her foot in frustration. “I'm nearly dying!”

“I'll arrange a car for you so you don't have to walk.”

“I can't sit in a car, either. I've already said I'm at death's door!” Rong Rong fumed.

Argh! I'm so angry I'm about to pass out! What kind of person is he? How can he be so heartless to send me away

in the middle of the night? Does it not prick his conscience?

Frustrated beyond belief, Rong Rong squatted on the ground and stayed silent, her eyes brimming with tears.

Naturally, Lu Tiance was at a loss. I'm only following the rules, for goodness' sake. I'm not deliberately making

things difficult. I don't understand why Rong Rong is so angry...

“What do you suggest, then? Keeping you here is against the rules,” he said in a low voice.

“But I'm honestly tired. Can't you let me stay for the night? I promise I'll leave tomorrow. Will that do?” Rong Rong

insisted. “Moreover, I won't occupy your space. You can send me back to the detention room. Otherwise, you can

leave me in the doghouse if you guys have one here!”

“We do,” Lu Tiance answered earnestly.

Rong Rong gaped at the man before her.

Wait a minute... Is he really planning to throw me into the doghouse? Oh, gosh! He's inhuman!

“However, the doghouse is for the dog, so I can't give it to you,” Lu Tiance continued.

Needless to say, Rong Rong couldn't believe what she was hearing. Does that mean he'd gladly send me to the

doghouse if it were empty? Wow... He's downright ruthless! Since he wants to be so cruel, I shall return the favor by

refusing to leave! What can he do, anyway? Throw me into the desert to feed the wolves?

“Tiance, you know I'm not feeling well. It'd be detrimental to my health if you don't let me rest and insist on sending

me away. Besides, aren't you worried I'd drop dead before reaching Horington?” Rong Rong mumbled pitifully.

Lu Tiance instantly fell silent.

After all, he was well aware that Rong Rong was sick.

“How long do you need to rest before you can leave? I'll report to the higher-ups and explain the situation,” he

finally said.

Rong Rong felt her heart leap with joy. Ah! There's hope! I knew acting pitiful would be effective, especially in front

of those clueless fools who can't read between the lines.

“Given how frail I am, I guess I'll need to rest for a year or so,” Rong Rong replied.

Lu Tiance's eyes widened.

“I can't even stay here for that long, yet you want to stay for at least a year? Are you planning to live here

permanently?”

Rong Rong nearly broke out laughing.

This guy really isn't good at reading between the lines, huh? How does he not realize it when it's so evident I'm

teasing him? Then again, the more I think about it, the more I can see why. Everyone here follows orders to the T,

and there's hardly any chance for them to joke around. Once someone becomes accustomed to being focused on

their job, they naturally become cautious and rigid in their everyday lives. One might even say they're a little

socially awkward.

Thankfully, Rong Rong managed to hold back her laughter, “Well, since a year and a half is too long, I shall leave

when you do. I wouldn't want to impose on others if you aren't around. That'd make me feel so bad!”

Thankfully, Rong Rong managed to hold back her laughter, “Well, since a year and a half is too long, I shall leave

when you do. I wouldn't want to impose on others if you aren't around. That'd make me feel so bad!”

“No way!” Lu Tiance denied sternly.

Once again, Rong Rong was on the verge of bursting into laughter.

Well, at least I won't be driven away tonight. If luck's on my side, I might get to stay tomorrow, too!

“Once you're rested and recharged, you must leave immediately! You can't stay too long!” Lu Tiance remarked.

“All right. I'll do my best,” Rong Rong replied before turning her head to stifle a laugh.

“Head back and get some rest, then. I'll report this matter.”

“Why do you still need to report such trivial matters when your rank is so high?”

“This matter concerns me personally. Of course, I must report it.”

“Go ahead, then,” Rong Rong crooned. “I'll watch the sunset for a while more.”

“The sun has already set,” Lu Tiance kindly reminded.

Upon looking up, Rong Rong realized the man was right.

Then again, that didn't matter because the moon had already risen on the other side.

“In that case, I shall gaze at the moon. Wow! It's so beautiful.”

Lu Tiance hesitated briefly before walking into the camp, only to come out minutes later.

“I've already reported it. You can stay here for a week at most.”

Rong Rong instantly broke into a megawatt smile. I knew Tiance was a good, honest man. He revealed his bottom

line so quickly!

“Thank you, Tiance!”

“Even though the maximum stay is one week, you'll have to leave if you're well-rested by tomorrow. This place isn't

suitable for you,” Lu Tiance added.

Rong Rong couldn't help but scoff to herself. Oh, he can dream on! If the deadline is one week, I'll be sure to stay at

least ten days or more before leaving!

“Tiance, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have a guitar? I'd love to play a song for you,” Rong Rong said

smilingly.

“I don't, but I'll find one for you.”

Sure enough, Lu Tiance left to borrow a guitar and handed it to the woman.

The latter took it appreciatingly and made some adjustments.

“What song would you like to listen to, Tiance?”

“Anything will do.”

Rong Rong pointed to the moon in the sky. “Shall I play you a moon-related song?”

“Sure.”

Lu Tiance quickly sat cross-legged beside her, his back as straight as a rod.

With that, Rong Rong plucked the guitar, and the music began.

A melodious female voice gently rang out. “I've traveled a thousand miles just to bring you this sliver of

moonlight...”
