Monkey in Deep Love: What if she can't go back home?
Qi Yue: The key is she doesn't really have any family members. If she leaves, can we still see each other often?
Qi Yue: Although I don't know where she wants to go, I don't want her to leave anyway.
Shen Tang was leaning towards staying in her heart. Qi Yue's words were like a reassurance pill for her.
Qi Yue: Besides, it's Gu Huaian! Don't you know he's the man most girls in the country want to marry?
Monkey in Deep Love: Wait, how did you know I was talking about Gu Huaian?
Qi Yue: I figured it out with my brain, Tang Tang. Don't worry about anything else for now. Just sleep with him first!
Shen Tang's little face flushed red.
Qi Yue was too uninhibited. What was that about sleeping or not sleeping?
But Gu Huaian did have a good figure. She wondered how he was in that aspect...
Shen Tang hurriedly shook her head. What was she thinking about? It must be Qi Yue's fault!
There was a knock on the door. Shen Tang put on her slippers and went over. As soon as she opened the door, she was shocked by the scene before her eyes.
"Want some fruit?"
"Such white cherries, ah no, so red!"
She suspected Gu Huaian was trying to seduce her, but she had no evidence.
The man who was usually wrapped up was wearing a deep V-neck robe today. Goodness, the neckline was open all the way to his waist!
His pectoral and abdominal muscles peeked out tantalizingly. The dark robe made his skin look even paler.
Shen Tang almost cried, forcibly tearing her eyes away.
"Thank you."
Shen Tang took the cherries and was about to close the door, but met resistance.
She looked up and saw Gu Huaian propping the door open with his hand.
"Anything else?"
"Do you...want to touch my abs?" Gu Huaian's ears turned red after saying this.
Shen Tang's eyes widened. Did she just hallucinate?
Seeing Gu Huaian's shy look, good lord, he really did come to seduce her!
Ahem, she shouldn't pass up free abs.
Shen Tang lightly coughed. "Touch!"
Her sinful hand reached for his robe, but didn't dare go in.
Good heavens, she was always one to talk big, but was inevitably nervous when it came to the real thing.
Gu Huaian also seemed very nervous. Shen Tang heard his breathing become much quicker.
Just as Shen Tang's hand was about to land on the abs, a voice of confusion came from the side: "What are you two doing?"
Shen Tang quickly retracted her hand.
"Tao Sister, you haven't slept yet?"
Tao Sister shook her head. "I heard about what happened yesterday. I was going to bring you some milk. What are you two doing?"
Her gaze fell on the two of them. When she saw Gu Huaian's exposed outfit, her eyes couldn't help but widen.
Was she seeing things?
Gu Huaian hurriedly fixed his clothes. "I...I still have work to do. I'll head back first..."
Shen Tang eagerly nodded. "Go take care of your work."
What a pity she didn't get to touch the abs. His pecs looked so big too. She really wanted to bury her face in them...
Tao Sister suddenly realized. "Did I interrupt you two?"
"I'll leave now."
She shoved the milk into Shen Tang's hands and teased, "Rest well. I'll make breakfast later tomorrow."
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Huaian: "..."
After Tao Sister left, Gu Huaian softly asked, "Still want to touch?"
Shen Tang shook her head. "Next time. I'm going to sleep now."
She wasn't in the mood to continue. She had a feeling Tao Sister wouldn't have left so quickly.
Thinking this, she went to the stairs and as expected, came face-to-face with Tao Sister squatting there.
Tao Sister awkwardly explained, "Oh, I was just tying my shoelaces, hahaha..."
"You're wearing slippers."
"Oh..."
Tao Sister peeked at Gu Huaian and asked regretfully, "You're not continuing?"
She didn't understand why the married couple still slept in separate rooms.
She was a night owl and had never noticed either of them going to the other's room in the middle of the night.
That meant they always slept separately. That was clearly abnormal!
They were both young people. Didn't they have any passion at all?
Tao Sister suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be the husband really had problems down there!?
Before it was joking, but now she suspected it was true.
No, no, no. She had to think of a way.
Seeing Tao Sister's ugly expression as she walked away, Shen Tang was confused. What did she think of again?
It was late. The two returned to their rooms to rest.
In her dream, Shen Tang dreamed of a vast whiteness. Gu Huaian's abs filled the bed, a full forty-eight blocks.
Were these personified rice cakes?
Shen Tang woke up with a start.
The sky was already bright. Looking at her phone, it was just past seven.
Except for when she was on set, she didn't think she had woken up this early before.
She had just gone downstairs when she saw Tao Sister with dark circles under her eyes, saying something to He Uncle.
She quietly walked over, wanting to listen. But she was discovered by Tao Sister's sharp eyes.
Tao Sister weakly said, "Mistress, you're up so early today? Let me bring you breakfast."
"No, I'm not hungry yet. Tao Sister, are you sick?"
Tao Sister shook her head, then nodded. "Yes."
"What illness? Have you seen a doctor?"
Tao Sister murmured, "Heart disease. Incurable."
Shen Tang: "..."
She looked at He Uncle and saw him sigh heavily as well, his expression somber.
"What's going on?"
Shen Tang also started feeling anxious.
"Don't tell me the family went bankrupt!"
Tao Sister choked. "No, not that."
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as we didn't go bankrupt."
Otherwise her money and luxury villa experience card would be gone prematurely.
Tao Sister sighed again. "Mistress, why did you marry the husband in the first place?"
Shen Tang became nervous. Did Tao Sister discover something?
She looked at He Uncle, but he didn't give any hints despite knowing the inside story. So did she find out or not?
"Because he's handsome and rich?"
"That's true." Tao Sister nodded. "Nothing else? Like love or something?"
Shen Tang felt awkward. She was purely in it for the money. Saying it was for love would tarnish the word love.
"Why are you asking this?"
Tao Sister slowly put a hand on her chest. "Because I discovered a secret..."
Shen Tang became curious. "What secret?"
"I discovered the husband seems to not—”
"Not what?" Shen Tang asked.
Please forgive her illiteracy, but the first words that came to mind were impotent and dysfunctional.
But she was so wrong.
Before Tao Sister could finish speaking, they heard Gu Huaian slowly coming down the stairs. She immediately got up and grabbed a napkin from the table, wiping left and right.
Shen Tang also heard the footsteps and quickly shut up.
"You're up so early today?"
Shen Tang touched her nose. "Slept well, woke up early."
"Had breakfast yet?"
"Not yet."
Tao Sister put down the napkin and rushed towards the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready. I'll bring it out now."
In a bit, Tao Sister brought out a table full of food.
Aside from the normal breakfast foods, there was also chives fried eggs, garlic glass noodles with fresh oysters, lingzhi five finger hairtail fish congee, satay lamb, lotus root stir-fried squid, dogwood chicken soup with ginseng and Chinese angelica.
Shen Tang gaped in shock. "So lavish this early in the morning!"
Wait, something seemed off about these dishes.
Gu Huaian's face was black. "Take these away."
"Huh?"
Gu Huaian lightly coughed. "It's a bit too fortifying to eat these in the morning."
Tao Sister's lips moved, but she still took everything away in the end.
Not listening to elders means suffering losses right before your eyes. Hmph! Go on being impotent then!
