Chapter 150

Even though Shen Tang had kissed Gu Huaian many times before, she still wasn't quite adept at it.

She clumsily rolled over Gu Huaian's lips, unsure of how to get him to open up.

In the end, it was Gu Huaian who turned passivity into initiative, going on the offensive directly.

Shen Tang couldn't breathe properly, pushing him away a couple of times, and Gu Huaian felt like he had been punched in the chest twice.

He held onto Shen Tang's hand, his movements becoming more forceful.

"Ugh—"

Shen Tang was infuriated. This guy must be a dog, definitely a dog.

["Enough! Enough!"]

["Gu Huaian, back off!"]

["I can't breathe!"]

["I know you can hear me, stop pretending you can't!"]

However, Gu Huaian seemed oblivious to her inner thoughts, continuing to kiss passionately as if trying to make up for lost time.

Since their last disagreement, they hadn't shared a deep kiss until now.

["I'm counting to three!"]

Gu Huaian paused, slowly lifting his head.

Looking at the glossy, flushed lips, his Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes becoming even deeper, like the starry sky and the vast sea, as if they could drown a person.

He murmured softly, "Tang Tang..."

Shen Tang glared at him fiercely, "If you keep this up, there won't be a next time!"

Joy flickered in Gu Huaian's eyes, "So Tang Tang, does that mean there will be a next time?"

Just then, Sister Tao cleared her throat, "Madam, Sir, are you done kissing?"

The question almost made Shen Tang want to dig a hole with her toes right there.

She had completely forgotten that Sister Tao was here.

No, Sister Tao, with the gap between your fingers, you've seen everything, haven't you?

Gu Huaian sighed, somewhat helpless, "Sister Tao!"

Sister Tao knew Shen Tang was shy; still, she asked.

Sister Tao lightly tapped her lips, "Alright, I won't mention it next time."

"Oh, by the way, I promised Anran and Wuyang that their variety show would be changed to a live broadcast. I wonder if they still want to participate."

"I'll ask them tomorrow."

Shen Tang blinked, "Can't we ask them tonight?" She wasn't used to postponing things until tomorrow. Wasn't Gu Huaian usually not like this? Was he busy tonight?

Gu Huaian explained, "I want to spend tonight with you."

Shen Tang's face flushed. This guy...

Thinking that the other person could read her mind in real-time, Shen Tang forced herself not to think too much about it; that would be too embarrassing.

"Ahem, we have time every day, why not ask for their opinions tonight? I miss them too."

If all the children in the world were as well-behaved as Anran and Wuyang, Shen Tang wouldn't mind having more children, even two more.

It was probably because of the lack of family affection that Shen Tang particularly wanted more people at home.

Just afraid of having a naughty child.

However, neither of them was unreasonable. They shouldn't have a naughty child... Shen Tang looked at Gu Huaian skeptically.

Gu Huaian sighed, "Tang Tang, stop overthinking."

Shen Tang smiled awkwardly, "Okay?"

"Then I'll have someone bring them over."

"Let's go pick them up together."

After speaking, Shen Tang looked at Tao Sister and affectionately wrapped her arm around hers, shaking it gently. "Tao Sister, I'll trouble you to make two more dishes tonight."

"What trouble? I'd love for you to come back and eat every day," Tao Sister replied.

This huge villa was empty every day, leaving her bored to death.

"I want sweet and sour spare ribs, Coca-Cola chicken wings, and pineapple sweet and sour pork!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make them all for you!" Tao Sister said with a big smile, her eyes squinting.

It had been a long time since Shen Tang visited the Gu family's old house. She wondered if the elders had noticed anything.

She felt a slight worry in her heart, but Gu Huaian held her hand reassuringly. "Don't be afraid."

"I won't be afraid if you take your hand back."

Seriously, who drives with one hand? She wasn't ready to die yet!

Gu Huaian: "..."

He knew he was in the wrong; this was a bad example, definitely don't follow it.

Halfway there, Shen Tang suddenly realized she hadn't bought anything. Was it inappropriate to show up empty-handed?

Gu Huaian reached out, then withdrew his hand back to the steering wheel. "Don't worry, they have everything."

"Courtesy is courtesy. What they have is theirs, what I buy is mine. Besides, it's been a long time since I've been here, showing up empty-handed is indeed not great."

"It's great that you're here."

What Gu Huaian didn't say was that his sister, Gu Qingan, had let slip about their agreement to get married, and now the family was afraid he wouldn't find a wife and would end up lonely.

Before long, they arrived at the Gu family's old house.

Shen Tang wondered if Tao Sister had secretly informed the people at the old house, as they were greeted by the steward as soon as they arrived.

Gu Huaian held Shen Tang's hand as they got out of the car.

"Has Uncle He, Mom, and Dad rested?" Gu Huaian asked.

"Not yet, they're waiting for you," Uncle He replied.

Hearing this, Shen Tang immediately felt nervous.

She remembered how much Gu Huaian's father didn't like her. She hadn't cared before because they were both pretending, but now that she was ready to spend her life with him, naturally she cared about what his family thought of her.

[What should I do?]

[Will he kick me out directly?]

[I'm so nervous...]

It could be said that Shen Tang's impression of Old Master Gu wasn't great.

Gu Huaian tightened his grip on her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I'm not afraid," Shen Tang said, forcing herself to speak.

Gu Huaian chuckled softly. If he hadn't heard her inner thoughts, he might have believed her.

As soon as they entered, they heard Old Master Gu snort.

Shen Tang paused for a moment and then walked in somewhat stiffly.

"You decided to come back?" Old Master Gu said.

"Dad!"

Old Madam Gu also glared at Old Master Gu. "If you have nothing nice to say, then keep your mouth shut!"

She stood up, smiling as she approached and took Shen Tang's hand. "Good child, it's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been lately?"

"Pretty good."

"I wanted to visit you before, but I was afraid it would be too forward. By the way, I saw some jewelry recently that I thought would suit you, so I bought them all. Come, let's go take a look."

Without waiting for Shen Tang to refuse, she pulled her upstairs.

The two of them arrived at the cloakroom on the second floor, which, in terms of size alone, was more than twice as large as Shen Tang's room in her previous life.

It was filled with various formal dresses, shoes, handbags, and jewelry, resembling an exhibition hall.

Why call it an exhibition hall?

Because all those pieces of jewelry were extremely expensive. Although Shen Tang didn't understand their value, just by looking at the size of those gemstones, she knew they were valuable.

Shen Tang almost couldn't help but gasp in awe.

Old Madam Gu led Shen Tang to one of the cabinets and took out a jewelry box containing various beautiful ornaments, sparkling under the light.

"I'm getting old, and I don't know what you young folks like nowadays. Take a look and see if there's anything you don't like."

Shen Tang blinked in confusion. Normally, shouldn't she ask if there's anything she likes?

"They're all pretty," Shen Tang spoke truthfully. They were indeed stunning.

"Then take all of these."

Shen Tang froze once again. There were at least dozens of pieces of jewelry in the box. Were they all for her?

Old Madam Gu smiled and placed the box in Shen Tang's hands. "Go on, take them."

"They're too precious, I can't accept them!"

Shen Tang felt as though they weighed a ton in her hands.

She couldn't shake off the feeling of unworthiness.

"Good child, these are for you. They're not expensive, and besides, they'll only truly shine when worn by the right person."

Afraid that Shen Tang might refuse, Old Madam Gu changed the subject, "By the way, you and Huai'an..."

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat.
