Chapter 47

Gu Huaian's appearance gave Shen Tang a fright, and she hurried to hang up the phone.

"Big belly?"

"Pimples all over his face?"

"And bald?"

As Gu Huaian got closer, his three quick questions made Shen Tang feel very guilty. She weakly raised her hand and said, "Um, I can explain."

"Oh?"

Shen Tang stammered an explanation, "I didn't mean to say that. I just heard you have a White Moonlight and wanted to get some information from her..."

After speaking, seeing Gu Huaian's expression seem a bit strange, Shen Tang thought he didn't believe what she said, so she supplemented,

"Don't worry, I don't have any other ideas. It's just that the official has returned, and I as an imitation product should give way..."

If White Moonlight really came back, this contractual marriage might end prematurely. Preparing in advance would prevent her from rushing around when moving out.

Also, ending early should mean more compensation, hee hee...

Gu Huaian's face instantly darkened. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "This is your explanation?"

Shen Tang awkwardly realized that Gu Huaian seemed even angrier.

"Um... if you need it, I can also help take care of the postpartum care..."

With so much money every month, forget postpartum care, even if he wanted her to help wash his feet or wipe his butt, she would do it.

Gu Huaian: "..."

"Stop talking."

Shen Tang still wanted to speak but Gu Huaian covered her mouth. "Anyway, I don't want to hear anything else you say."

Shen Tang looked at him innocently with wide eyes.

Gu Huaian took a deep breath and told himself not to haggle with Shen Tang, or he would be the one to get angry to death.

He pinched his brow and said, "There is no one."

Shen Tang made a few "hmm" sounds.

Gu Huaian removed his hand. Shen Tang asked, "No what?"

"No White Moonlight."

"Huh?"

Shen Tang was a little confused. Could what her cousin said be false?

That couldn't be. She seemed very sincere, not like she was lying.

Wait, why was Gu Huaian explaining this to her? But it could not be denied that there was a trace of secret delight in her heart.

Shen Tang lightly coughed and said in a low voice, "I don't have one either."

If she had to say there was one, it would be money.

Suddenly, her head was rubbed. Shen Tang looked up to see Gu Huaian's mouth hooked up in a shallow arc.

"Don't randomly speculate in the future."

"Oh."

...

Even after sleeping and waking up again, Shen Tang still didn't react to how things had developed this way.

Thinking about it now was still a bit embarrassing.

She looked at the time. It was after 10 o'clock already. Gu Huaian should have left...

Shen Tang went downstairs. Besides Tao Sister, there was no one else.

"Madam, you're awake. Do you want to eat now?"

"Sure, where is everyone else?"

"The Mister went to work. The young misses and young master went to school."

Shen Tang suddenly felt a little guilty. Somehow, it seemed like she was the only one in this family with nothing to do.

No, she had just gotten off work.

Thinking this, Shen Tang's back straightened again.

After Tao Sister brought up plates of food, she looked at Shen Tang with distress. "Aiyo, eat more, just watching that show looks exhausting."

"It's fine."

"Look, your skin seems to have darkened two shades. Tsk, your hands are even injured. Let me put some medicine on them!"

Before she could recover from the concern, Shen Tang heard the bad news.

Shen Tang touched her face. "Did I really tan that much?"

"One day in the sun, how could you not tan. It will be better after nourishing for a couple days." Tao Sister grabbed Shen Tang's hand. "This medicine is very effective. Thickly applying it for a day will heal the wounds..."

Tao Sister's chatter was endless as she talked and worked at the same time, quickly smearing medicine on Shen Tang's few injured fingers.

To be honest, these wounds were very small, just scratches that broke the skin without bleeding.

In Shen Tang's eyes, if she didn't apply medicine, these wounds would have automatically healed.

But she had to admit, this feeling of being cared for felt very warm.

"Done. Remember not to get them wet."

"Thank you, Sister Tao." Shen Tang first drank some soup, then took out her phone to meet up with her friends for some skin care.

When Shen Tang arrived at the mall, the others hadn't yet arrived, so she lined up at a milk tea shop.

Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away.

"Let me go! I don't know you!"

"Wife, stop messing around. There are so many people here. Let's go home and talk, okay?"

Shen Tang looked over. She saw a beautiful girl with an angry expression on her face. Beside her was a helpless looking man, his eyes full of indulgence. "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't know you at all!"

The woman struggled violently but was held tightly by the man. "Alright, alright, I was wrong. In the future I'll give you all the money and won't spend it on games..."

"Help! I don't know him!"

"Wife... you can hit or scold me, just please don't say such hurtful things..."

The two looked just like a bickering couple, the girl being unreasonable and the boy very tolerant.

Others just shook their heads with a smile and walked by. But the more Shen Tang watched, the more she felt something was off.

The man's clothes looked tidy at first glance but were actually quite sloppy, and there was mud on his shoes as if he had stepped somewhere dirty.

The woman had exquisite makeup, and the jewelry on her neck and wrists started at six digits. No matter how you looked at it, the two did not match.

"Hello, would you like to order something?"

Hearing the clerk's voice, Shen Tang quickly waved her hands to refuse. "Sorry, something came up. I'll order later."

Shen Tang rushed over to the man and woman.

With the great difference in strength between men and women, despite the woman's constant struggling, she was still controlled by the man and pulled forward.

The crying woman pleaded for help, but the kind-looking man deceived the passersby who wanted to help.

"Sorry, my girlfriend is throwing a tantrum with me..."

The two walked further and further away, eventually turning onto an empty side road.

The man's face changed and he slapped her hard. "F*ck, shut up!"

The woman crashed into the wall at once. As she got up to run, several brawny men suddenly rushed out and tied her up in no time.

Shen Tang suddenly felt she had been rather rash.

But as soon as she took a step back, something poked her waist. "Don't move!"

Shen Tang hurriedly raised her hands and trembled, "I won't move, don't hit me!"

"Heh! Quite sensible." Warm breath brushed past her ear and Shen Tang felt afraid and disgusted.

In front were five or six people, and behind were unknown numbers. As the saying goes, those who know the times are outstanding. She was no match for them, and resisting may lead to injury.

Furthermore, Shen Tang couldn't just ignore someone in mortal danger.

She very cooperatively allowed her hands to be tied.

"Um, Boss, could you tie a bit gentler... I won't run."

"Heh. Quite delicate."

Whether it was excessive arrogance or Shen Tang's show of weakness was effective, in any case, only her hands were tied, and not too tightly.

Just then, a scarface walked over. His rough big hands gripped Shen Tang's chin, looking left and right. "Not bad goods."

Someone said, "She looks like some female celebrity..."

"I don't care if she's some female celeb. In my hands, she has to listen to my words."

"Yes, Boss." Shen Tang tactfully responded.

Scarface: "..."

That was a bit too tactful.
