110 110 Bloodline suppression
After spending one night with Tao Qi, it made Tan Rou’s originally restless heart turn calm. Compared to her previous life, Tao Qi had let down his guard against her and the improvement in their relationship was obvious.
As long as she gave a little guidance, she would definitely be able to break the image that Tan Jing had set for Tao Qi and everything would head in the right direction.
Tan Rou calmed down and made some more herbs before putting them away and going back to bed.
The next morning, Mrs. Tao got up to prepare breakfast for the family. Since Tan Rou had to go to school, she had to have breakfast.
When Mrs. Tao arrived at the kitchen, she could tell that someone used it the night before. She was a little confused. Tao Zheng didn’t know how to cook. If her husband got hungry, he would tell her. Who could have used the kitchen?
Tao Qi was young and wouldn’t know how to cook himself. Could it be Xiao Rou? Mrs. Tao was suspicious. She thought that Tan Rou must have been hungry again since she didn’t eat well after what happened at the dinner table yesterday.
Mrs. Tao’s heart ached even more at the thought. Although Tan Rou didn’t say anything, she was probably upset. After all, she was rejected by her brother as soon as he came home. How could she not overthink it?
Mrs. Tao sighed. She felt that she couldn’t dote on Tao Qi anymore this time. He had to learn to respect Tan Rou, his big sister.
Mrs. Tao deftly prepared an even more sumptuous breakfast for Tan Rou, feeling sorry for her.
When the time came, Father Tao, Tao Zheng, and Tan Rou all washed up and went downstairs. They sat at the dining table and Father Tao looked around. “Where’s Tao Qi?”
Mrs. Tao was still angry. “Don’t bother about him. Just let that brat starve!”
Father Tao looked at Mother Tao’s expression and didn’t dare to mention it again, thinking that it would be good to teach Tao Qi a lesson.
Tan Rou thought for a moment and suggested, “I’ll wake him up!”
Tao Zheng got up worriedly. “Forget it. He has a bad temper, especially early in the morning . If you go, you might get bullied by his ugly temper. I’ll go instead.” Tao Zheng was worried that Tao Qi would use his morning temper to scold Tan Rou, which would put the family in a bad mood early in the morning.
“That’s right, Xiao Rou,” Mrs. Tao chimed in. “He’s throwing a tantrum. You don’t have to worry about him. Let your brother do it.”
Tan Rou smiled. “It’s fine. We’re a family living under the same roof now. I can’t always avoid him. Don’t worry, he’ll be obedient this time.”
With that, Tan Rou headed upstairs.
Mother Tao and Tao Zheng looked worried. They wondered why Tan Rou was so sure that Tao Qi would be obedient this time. If they ended up in an unpleasant situation again, Xiao Rou would be sad.
Mother Tao even made up her mind that Tao Qi had better work harder this time. If he threw a tantrum again, she would pack him luggage and send him back to the school!
Mr. Tao, on the other hand, calmly raised his eyebrows. He thought about his conversation with Tan Rou last night and felt that something must have happened for Tan Rou to be so confident.
Tan Rou came to Tao Qi’s room and knocked on the door. Tao Qi thought it was his mother or brother who came to wake him up, so he shouted, “I don’t want to get up! I’m not eating breakfast!”
“Not eating breakfast will affect your mental development. It will also affect our growth.”
Inside the room, Tao Qi was still lazily curled up in his bed, but when he heard Tan Rou’s voice, he sat up from the bed and stared at the door with deep hatred.
Tan Rou heard the commotion inside and smiled. “I’ll give you two minutes. Come down quickly or I’ll come in and catch you.”
Tao Qi pulled at his hair angrily, but still didn’t want to answer.
Tan Rou didn’t force him. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Tao Qi sat on the bed and thought about it. He didn’t want to be so obedient toward Tan Rou, but ever since he called Tan Rou “sister” last night, he felt very uncomfortable.
In terms of strength, he couldn’t even move when Tan Rou had just gently picked him up at the collar. In terms of intelligence, she could answer so many profound questions correctly. No matter how he thought about it, Tao Qi felt that he was no match for Tan Rou.
No matter how stubborn Tao Qi was, he had to admit that he was a little convinced by Tan Rou now.
Tao Qi didn’t know that since ancient times, as a younger brother, he had an innate fear of his elder sister. This was the complete awakening of the bloodline suppression that belonged to his elder sister.
Tao Qi got out of bed unwillingly and washed up as fast as he could, but he was subconsciously hit by the two-minute limit set by Tan Rou. He lowered his head and jogged downstairs.
