Chapter 5: That’s Why you hit Me.

Chapter 5

“So this is your reason for smashing me?”

Gu Huaian sat on the sofa with a cut on his forehead that the family doctor was helping bandage. He never dreamed he'd be treated like a thief in his own home.

Gu Huaian took a deep breath. “Shen Tang, what makes you think people can just come and go here as they please?”

Shen Tang glanced at him guiltily and spoke timidly, “I’m sorry...”

Come to think of it, the people living here were either rich or noble. How could thieves possibly get in so easily?

She must have lost her mind just now!

Shen Tang quietly argued with herself in her heart. Who told you not to turn on the lights...

He could turn them on or not as he pleased. After living here for so long, he could find his way around with his eyes closed.

The veins on Gu Huaian's temple throbbed, making his wound sting too. Just what sin had he committed to end up meeting Shen Tang?

Wait, did Shen Tang not move her mouth just now?

Gu Huaian pinched his brow. He must be disoriented from the blow. How could a person speak without moving their mouth?

"Alright, you should go rest now."

Hearing that he didn't want to talk to her, Shen Tang hurriedly got up and left, turning back three times, "I'll be going then~"

Gu Huaian didn't even spare a glance for her.

Even lying in bed, Shen Tang still hadn't figured out how things had turned out this way. Would he fire her because of this?

"No!"

Shen Tang suddenly sat up in bed. To avoid being fired, she had to do something!

Carefully recalling the book's description, Gu Huaian had a bad stomach from working long hours and eating irregularly.

Shen Tang tutted. Ten tycoons, nine with stomach problems.

So the next day before Gu Huaian left, Peach Sister handed her a bag.

"What's this?"

Peach Sister smiled mockingly, "The mistress specifically had me make sandwiches for you. Take them to the company to eat."

Gu Huaian took them without saying whether he would eat them or not.

At the company, he drank a cup of black coffee as usual, and felt the habitual pain in his stomach.

Secretary Chen frowned. "Your stomach hurts again? Let me get your medicine."

Gu Huaian took the medicine, then saw Secretary Chen take the sandwich out of the paper bag. "You brought breakfast but aren't eating it?"

Gu Huaian didn't really want to eat it. Just thinking that Shen Tang had prepared it made him feel averse.

Was she trying to curry favor with him?

The ingredients were bought with his money, and the sandwiches were made by Peach Sister. Shen Tang hadn't even shown her face.

Peach Sister's cooking really was incredible.

Right after finishing breakfast, she received a text from an unknown number - Shen Tang, come to Heishan tonight.

Scammers were this high level now? They even knew her name and were asking her to climb a mountain? At night?

Shen Tang gave a cold laugh and immediately blocked and deleted the number.

And so that night, pajama-clad Shen Tang came face to face with her contract husband in a tailored designer suit.

"So that text was from you?"

Gu Huaian didn't speak. "You have thirty minutes to get ready. We're going to the old residence later."

"Don't worry, I'll be ready in no time!"

She complained internally: Old residence, fine, but why say Heishan? How was she supposed to know the old residence was in Heishan?

Gu Huaian suddenly looked up. Shen Tang had already clip clopped upstairs. He knit his brows and sat down.

Shen Tang was quick with her makeup, but took some time choosing an outfit.

Especially since she had really gained quite a bit of weight recently, with a layer of flab on her stomach. She finally found a dress that concealed it, and hurried downstairs just as thirty minutes were up.

Shen Tang looked at him uneasily, "I'm ready."

"Mm."

The two got in the car one after the other, Gu Huaian looking down handling work, his side profile very elegant.

Shen Tang sneaked a few glances at him.

[His skin is so nice. He stays up late every day, how is there not even a dark circle?]

[Is the tycoon boss that busy? He's still working in the car?]

[Hehehe~ I wonder if my discounted husband has an eight pack...]

Gu Huaian: "Quiet!"

Shen Tang was shocked, "I didn't say anything..."

The driver also looked back in surprise through the rearview mirror.

Gu Huaian pinched his brow. Did he just hallucinate?

He looked at Shen Tang.

[Oh my god, why is he looking at me? I really didn't say anything! Is this guy crazy from overwork?]

There was undisguised shock in Gu Huaian's eyes!

Shen Tang's mouth clearly hadn't moved, yet he distinctly heard her speaking. What was going on?

"Do you still remember the contents of our agreement?" His question seemed casual.

"I remember, I remember! Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior tonight!" Shen Tang recited the agreement in her heart, then started reviewing the content of the romance novels she had read.

It was just a loving married couple. No problem!
