Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1448: 1447 let’s be friends

Lin Yu watched as Tan Rou was led away by the group of people. It seemed that Tan Rou had forgotten he was still there, so neither of them spoke, and they just parted ways like that.

It wasn’t until Lin Yu sat in the car that Tan Rou sent him a message.

Tan Rou asked, “Where are you?”

Lin Yu glanced at the black car ahead and then replied, “I’m following behind your convoy.”

A total of five cars were escorting Tan Rou, one in front, one behind, and one on each side, with Tan Rou sitting in the car in the middle. Besides Tan Rou, there was a driver and the man who led the team inside the car.

The man didn’t say what his name was. After he got into the front passenger seat, he only said one thing, “Miss Rou, we will ensure your safe arrival at the royal palace.”

Afterward, he didn’t speak again. He wasn’t talking, the driver wasn’t talking, and Tan Rou wasn’t asking questions, so the atmosphere in the car was somewhat oppressive.

So Tan Rou sent a message to Lin Yu, asking where he was. After learning Lin Yu was following behind, she didn’t ask further.

The cars drove very fast. It took over half an hour for Tan Rou to arrive, but on the way back, the driver only took twenty minutes.

It was getting dark, the street lights were coming on, and Tan Rou saw large trucks parked in places beyond the reach of the lights, surrounded by people holding weapons.

Glancing at the time, it was almost the curfew, and Tan Rou wondered whether the royal city would be as calm tonight as usual.

The King was a special medical case, so Tan Rou had to live inside the palace to keep an eye on the King’s condition at all times, which made her pack her luggage and move to live directly in the palace. This was Tan Rou’s first time living inside the palace, and she did not know what kind of experience it would be.

Samiyi arranged for Tan Rou to stay in her own palace. The princess’s residence was different from the King’s. There were more green plants here, and many ponds, making it very cool even without air conditioning.

“Miss Rou, I hope you will be satisfied with it here,” Samiyi said.

Tan Rou replied, “The conditions here are so much better than the hotel—I really like it.”

Samiyi smiled, “Thank you for liking it.”

With a wave of her hand, a group of maids immediately brought up exquisite food. Contrary to Tan Rou’s expectations, the food Samiyi had prepared was not the grilled meat commonly eaten by the people of J country, but a variety of stir-fried dishes and two bowls of stewed soup.

“Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!” Tan Rou thanked.

Samiyi said, “I should be the one thanking you. I’ve heard from Rake about the research equipment you’re shipping from your country. I feel ashamed that we couldn’t provide you with a proper research environment.”

Having dealt with that group of people earlier, ninety percent of Tan Rou’s anger had subsided. Now, hearing Samiyi’s words, her anger was completely gone.

“It’s not necessary to thank me, Princess. The reason I spent the effort and money to transport equipment here is for my staff to work in a better environment, not for you,” Tan Rou said.

But Samiyi thought otherwise. Although the equipment was supposedly for Tan Rou’s staff, they would certainly not take the equipment away when they left, because Tan Rou would not miss this small amount of equipment.

Therefore, the equipment would undoubtedly be left behind, and whether or not Tan Rou asked them for the cost of the equipment, J country would benefit.

“Nevertheless, I still want to thank Miss Rou,” Samiyi raised her glass, “This is a unique wine from our country. Miss Rou, you may want to try it.”

Tan Rou was not fond of drinking, but she still took a sip of the wine Samiyi had poured, “Princess Samiyi, I don’t drink, but I must drink this glass of yours.”

Samiyi asked, “Why?”

Tan Rou answered with a smile, “I admire the princess. Your actions today were truly surprising to me. Therefore, I boldly wish to be friends with Her Highness the Princess. Would you be willing to befriend me?”

Being acquainted might mean being friends, but by “befriending,” Tan Rou was clearly chasing not just any acquaintance, but a close friend to be cherished for a lifetime.

Samiyi’s expression grew serious as she nodded solemnly, “From now on I will call you Tan Rou, and you will call me Samiyi. We will be good friends for life!”
