I’ll Still Love You Even if You’re a Man 2, Chapter 88: Sour Taste (2)

Three days later, in the afternoon, as Mai Ding was preparing dinner, he heard An-Ziyan's cell phone ringing in the living room and then his voice: “I know, I'll be there now.”

When Mai Ding poked his head out, An-Ziyan was already standing at the entrance: “Where are you going, it's time to eat.”

“Heading out.”

Mai Ding asked weakly, “Can I come with?” An-Ziyan didn't answer, Mai Ding lowered his eyelids and was about to retreat to the kitchen when An-Ziyan said coldly, “Do you want me to carry you?” At that, Mai Ding raised a smile and turned off the fire”Right away.” Fearing that An-Ziyan would go back on his word, Mai Ding didn't mention any unnecessary questions and when the car reached the intersection, Mai Ding saw An-Su leaning impatiently against the car with her hands in her lap. By the door, when she saw An-Ziyan arrive, instead of accusing An-Ziyan, she accused Mai Ding: “How long do you want me to wait, don't you have any sense of time?”

“But...” I am not the one who asked you (An-Su) out, so why get mad at me?

“I don't want an explanation.”

“It's only reasonable that you should lecture An-Ziyan!”


“Aren't you two together now? Scold one is like scolding the other.” When An-Su said that, Mai Ding was speechless. When An-Ziyan got out of the car and got into An-Su car, before Mai Ding knew it, An-Ziyan was sitting next to him in the driver's seat: “Why don't you get out of the car, what do you want me to do?” Mai Ding quickly pulled the door open and left.

He had no idea why they had switched cars with An-Su and thought they were going somewhere special but it turned out to be a corner of the company's underground parking garage. Mai Ding looked at An-Ziyan with approval and patted him on the shoulder: “Young man, you've come to your senses. I didn't expect you to be so diligent and come back to work overtime.” An-Ziyan slapped Mai Ding's hand away indifferently but Mai Ding withdrew his hand: “Ouch! I'm praising you and you're hitting me?”

“And you want to be beaten?”

“Violent maniac!”

An-Ziyan's eyes are always on something, so Mai Ding follows his gaze and realizes that it's Manager Cui's car, isn't he off duty already? Is An-Ziyan going to slash the tires of his car? As Mai Ding was speculating the man Manager Cui opened the door, got in and drove out of the parking garage but An-Ziyan started the car and kept his distance following Manager Cui using An-Su car.

Nervously, Mai Ding fiddled with his seatbelt, asking tentatively, “Did you finally decide to kill Manager Cui today?”

An-Ziyan gave him a blank stare: “I want to kill you even more.”

“But I have no quarrel with you.”

“I like killing you.”

“What a stupid reason. Can't you take the word 'kill' out of it?”

“You wish.”

“Seriously, what are we doing with following Manager Cui?”

“Let's see.” Mai Ding knew that An-Ziyan didn't like to talk about things from beginning to end, so he didn't ask any more questions but he followed a car not far from them, pointing, “Don't get too close or we'll be seen. What if we lose him...” An-Ziyan took his right hand off the steering wheel and tapped the back of Mai Ding's head: “Sit quietly and behave yourself.”

“I'm trying to help you with the best of intentions.” I'm trying to help you.”

“Keep your good intentions to yourself.”

Mai Ding wrinkled his nose, so if he gets lost or lost again, don't beg for help. In the end, An-Ziyan didn't lose him or get lost, so he didn't have to beg for help like he wanted. When Manager Cui's car stopped in front of a restaurant, Mai Ding tried to get out of the car but An-Ziyan caught him and asked, “Are you sure you don't want to go in?”

“No need, I just want to know who he's meeting.”

“Who do you think it is?” Mai Ding thought he had an answer, just wanted to make sure. His fingers tapped slowly on the steering wheel: “Some manager in the Marketing Department. He knew that there were three managers in the Marketing Department and he was tired of asking questions: “But it's not unusual for Manager Cui to have a private dinner with the Marketing Department.” “The look on his face told him it wasn't that simple and he punched his hand in realization.”

An-Ziyan swept a glance at Mai Ding: “I don't like him for other reasons.”

“For what reason?”

Once again, the answer was obvious, that's why Mai Ding was there but Mai Ding didn't even know it, convinced that it was business.

Soon after, another car pulled up in front of the hotel and it wasn't Zhu Qiang who got out but another manager from the Marketing Department: Shu Shenglin. When An-Ziyan saw him walking into the hotel, he didn't want to stay, so he started the car and left. The relationship between the managers in the company is really complicated but Mai Ding tried to find out which one of the managers in the company is better than An-Ziyan but he couldn't find any! If he were in his position, he might be able to make friends with all the managers, since he was such a nice person. Then he thought of the other manager, “Oh yeah, Manager Ji told me to tell you not to think about her, I almost forgot about it.” An-Ziyan didn't have much of a reaction: “That's just like her.”

“You're out of character and rude! I have a big heart, I can put up with it, I'll let you but you think everyone is like me.”

“Indeed, if anyone were like you, the world would be finished.”

“An-Ziyan!”

“What did you call me for?”

Mai Ding stared, unable to find the words to say anything back, regretting that he hadn't learned the language as a child.

When he arrives home, he's leaning against the couch, turning on the TV and it's almost like a habit. The girls in the accounting department were blind to the fact that he was the good guy but they liked An-Ziyan. He went back to the kitchen to continue cooking and the same became habitual. He used to complain about his miserable life, having to cook and clean but now he doesn't even complain anymore and accepts the sad fact.

As they both sat at their regular places at the table, Mai Ding looked up from his meal and said, “Is it possible that I'm the reason you're so lazy?” He asked himself: “It's possible, I just talk about it every time, or I help you clean up or something and you don't care, you just do what you do. No, at this rate, you have to learn to be independent and I told you that you'll be responsible for the clothes you throw away.”

“What use are you at home then?”

“Why do you always have to lower the value of my life!”

“You have a life worth living?”

“I'm not talking to you about that, you'll finish your own dishes later.”

An-Ziyan said nonchalantly, “Hand in your resignation letter tomorrow.” So cruel! Having been caught so tightly in the trap and having to endure, Mai Ding comforted himself with the story of how he tasted courage but at least he succeeded in the end.

“You get serious when I make a joke, quit your job, say something nasty.”
