When Gu Mian heard him, she immediately straightened up and said, “You’re awake… I made you some tea for your hangover.”
Gu Mian put down the tools in her hand. She wanted to stand up and go to the kitchen. However, perhaps it was because she had been kneeling for a long time, her legs felt numb. She almost fell down. Tang Zui grabbed her just in time before she collapsed.
Their faces were very close to one another, and their lips almost touched. Gu Mian held her breath. She quickly pushed him away and ran to the kitchen in a flustered manner.
Tang Zui looked at the clean and tidy living room. On the balcony, the clothes he wore yesterday were hanging from the drying rack that he had never used before. This homely scene felt strangely heartwarming.
Gu Mian brought the tea to the living room and handed it to Tang Zui. She said, “The temperature is just about right. But you better take a small sip first. Don’t burn yourself.”
Tang Zui stared at her for a while and did not take the tea. As he gazed at her, Gu Mian grew nervous. She did not know what she had done wrong this time.
After a moment, Tang Zui was still staring at her. He reached out a hand to take the tea cup and finished the tea in one gulp.
Gu Mian was about to take the tea cup back and bring it back to the kitchen. Tang Zui suddenly grabbed her fair, slim wrist and pulled her into his arms. He rolled over and pinned her under him. He then lowered his head and kissed her on her small cherry lips.
After intense s*xual intercourse, Gu Mian’s waist was so sore she felt as though it was about to snap in half. Tang Zui, on the other hand, felt very contented during and after the s*x. He was incredibly satisfied.
It was the first time he felt as if this empty, forlorn apartment had turned into a warm home.
“Go take a shower. Breakfast is ready.”
Gu Mian spoke very softly. She then retrieved her clothes that he had tossed onto the coffee table. She quickly put the clothes on and went to the dining room to serve breakfast.
Tang Zui fixed his gaze on her until she walked away shyly. He then got up without putting on any clothes and walked to the bedroom. He then entered the shower.
Gu Mian watched him enter the bedroom from the corner of her eye and finally let out a sigh of relief.
At the dining table.
Gu Mian nibbled on her chopsticks as she glanced at the expressionless man beside her. She recalled that his father had slapped him across the face this morning and said, “You should really try to communicate with your father. Don’t burn bridges. You guys are family, after all.”
Tang Zui froze. As he stared at her, the look in his eyes became extremely cold. Gu Mian felt her chest tighten abruptly, but she did not regret saying that.
It was because she was certain that Tang Zui had not completely lost hope in his father, or else he would have ducked when Tang Jiyun tried to hit him.
“Gu Mian, you’re merely my mistress now. You’re not in a position to interfere in my personal affairs!” Tang Zui suddenly slammed his bowl and chopsticks onto the table. He pulled a wet tissue to wipe his hands and left.
Gu Mian heard the door open and shut. Her body had become stiff and her back was as straight as a pen. After a moment, she finally blinked and got up. She started cleaning up the food that had spilled onto the table in silence.

The tension between Long Sijue and Su Qianxun had lessened significantly, but Long Sijue could still sense that the young woman’s attitude towards him was different compared to her attitude before the miscarriage.
He was not someone who was good with words, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to coddle her.
But whenever he saw the hint of sadness in the young woman’s eyes, he felt increasingly gloomy as well.
For the past two days, Long Sijue did not allow Su Qianxun to attend classes. Su Qianxun did not feel like going either because she was not feeling that well.
This continued until Su Qianxun received a phone call from the director of the advertisement. He informed her that they were ready to start filming the advertisement and told her to head to the studio in the afternoon.
The young woman, who had been feeling down and listless lately, immediately perked up. It was her first time taking part in an acting project. Besides, a well-known director was leading this production. She must seize this opportunity!
However, her current concern was that Long Sijue might not allow her to go.
