When Su Tao woke up, he noticed a pair of bright eyes staring at him. Rubbing his eyes, he took a closer look at this woman before him. He paid attention to her facial features before propping himself up from the bed and smiled. "Congratulations, you've completely recovered. As long as you remember to think of me in the future, your illness won't relapse."
Vera sourly looked at him before she stretched her finger out and gently jabbed on his head. "You're saying that you're the best medicine?"
Su Tao laughed out as he nodded his head. "Smart, do you want to have another taste of this humanoid-medicine here?"
Although Vera had rolled her eyes at his words, she wasn't even angry, "No need!" She covered herself with the blanket before she got down and helplessly shook her head with a bitter smile. "You were too crazy last night, you even made all my clothes wet! What should I do now?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Su Tao smiled. "Let your caretaker bring clothes over, then."
Vera knew that Su Tao was joking with her, so she glared at the latter. "Aren't you afraid that she'll skin you alive?"
Su Tao smiled as he tilted his head and pondered about that. Since it was something that he had caused, then he's naturally responsible for resolving it. After all, the two of them couldn't just hole up in the room the entire day, right? After a brief pondering, he walked into the bathroom and found the hairdryer before waving it towards Vera, who was looking at him through the gla.s.s. He plugged it to the source and started to dry the clothes. Vera laid down on the bed on her belly as she stared at Su Tao's silhouette and fell into a daze. Sometimes, she would feel that Su Tao was smart as a fox, but occasionally, he's stupidly cute. She could easily get someone to send clothes over, like Secretary Li, for example, who had done similar things when they got themselves wet in the lotus pond.
Roughly an hour later, Su Tao managed to dry the clothes. After wearing her clothes, Vera suddenly said, "Tao, I want to make a trip back to Russia."
"Didn't we just get together, and we have to separate now?" Su Tao bitterly smiled.
Vera winked as she smiled. "It's so that we can be together."
Su Tao knew that Vera intended to persuade her father, so he sighed, "If I say that I cannot marry you, will you be disappointed?"
Vera was briefly stunned before she smiled. "I know that you have others in your heart, but I feel that my fake marriage with Achim has to come to an end now. Rest a.s.sured, I'm not doing this solely for you, so you don't have to feel pressured."
Hearing Vera's words, Su Tao instantly felt guilty, since his words had just indirectly hurt her. With a smile, he replied, "Don't worry, I will take responsibility for you."
Vera walked over and placed her finger on her lips before shook her head with a smile. "Tao, I hope that the relations.h.i.+p between us isn't bound by promises. So you don't have to feel pressured, nor will I hold you back."
Vera understood this society. Every successful man was bound to have other women around him. Even if she had a n.o.ble status, her lover was the most outstanding man in her eyes. So how could no women be trying to approach this man, who had made her so crazy over him?
Love was selfish, and Vera wasn't an exception. Although she wanted to monopolize Su Tao, her intelligence told her that if she really did that, she would only put a gap between them that would increase over time. She knew that Su Tao had Yan Jing and Cai Yan in his heart, and he's also trying to expand his career. So there was bound to be other women around him.
Leaving the themed hotel, Su Tao sent Vera to her home. When they reached her house, Shara was staring at him in fury, which Su Tao responded with a smile that left her stunned. She helplessly sighed and shook her head, as if she had realised that she had been a little too much. Perhaps she shouldn't hold prejudice over him, after all, he's the man that her missy had fallen in love with.
