Chapter 68: He Kissed Her

Chapter 68

Gu Huaian was in no shape to go back downstairs, so Shen Tang decided to return home.

Not until getting into the car did she realize that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Oh well, never mind, it probably wasn't important.

Gu Huaian was very quiet in his sleep in the car.

Taking advantage of the light coming in through the car window, Shen Tang carefully studied this exquisitely sculpted face.

Tsk, he really is so good-looking.

His lips look so kissable.

Thinking this, Shen Tang inexplicably lowered her head.

Gu Huaian's eyelashes fluttered lightly, and he finally pursed his lips slightly.

Shen Tang quickly drew back, only to see Gu Huaian open his eyes and plaintively ask, "Wife doesn't want to kiss me?"

Shen Tang felt as if her tail had been stepped on, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly kiss you! I certainly don't have any intention of kissing you."

Perhaps Shen Tang overreacted too much, even the driver couldn't help taking a glance back.

Gu Huaian seemed a little puzzled between his brows, "But I heard my wife say she wanted to kiss me..."

"You heard wrong, I don't have any intention of kissing you."

Gu Huaian was a bit confused. He clearly heard his wife say she wanted to kiss him, didn't he?

He blinked his eyes, "Then can I kiss my wife?"

Shen Tang was just about to say "no" when Gu Huaian suddenly raised his head and leaned in.

Their lips met, soft and tender, and Shen Tang felt her spine tingle with numb pleasure, her heart thumping loudly.

Had she been kissed?

Kissed?

Kissed?

At this moment, Shen Tang still had time for her thoughts to wander. So this was what kissing on the lips was like. It wasn't the same as described in novels.

Gu Huaian didn't really know what he was doing. His lips parted slightly as he murmured, "Wife tastes so sweet..."

Sweet? Where?!

Shen Tang gave a startled jerk backwards, hurriedly looking away with flushed cheeks. Only then did she notice the privacy screen in the car had been lowered without her realizing it.

How embarrassing.

Did he see just now?

Shen Tang fidgeted uncomfortably.

Hadn't they said Gu Huaian was asexual? Why did this seem different?

On further reflection of everything that had happened between them recently, Shen Tang found it hard not to suspect that he might, perhaps, possibly have a tiny bit of liking for her.

Licking her lips, Shen Tang felt somewhat parched.

Gu Huaian: "..."

Gu Hospital

Zhou Qinglian glanced at the time. The banquet was about to end. She pouted her lips, suddenly bursting into tears.

Unlike her usual silent weeping, this time she wailed at the top of her lungs, snot and tears streaming down her face without a care for appearances. The bodyguard was given a shock, quickly looking left and right to see no one was paying attention before passing her some tissue.

"Stop crying now."

"Crying is useless. I can't let you go out either." Zhou Qinglian's voice caught as she cried even harder.

How pitiful she was. Was it wrong to love someone?

Having grown up in an unhealthy family, she understood one principle from a young age. To get what you want, you must use any means to obtain it. Otherwise, don't even think about it.

She was skilled at playing the victim, never expecting to meet someone like Gu Huaian who didn't follow the usual playbook.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Suddenly, the wall was heavily pounded a few times.

"Boohoo boohoo! Enough!"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Zhou Qinglian was in no state of mind to contemplate it now. She wiped away a tear, "I won't leave the hospital, it's fine if I go next door right?"

After speaking she headed out without waiting for the bodyguard's response.

Going next door, she hammered loudly on the door. Then pushed her way in, "You were shouting—"

Seeing the person lying in the hospital bed, Zhou Qinglian's voice took a sudden turn, nearly failing to come out altogether. "Chairman Gu, what are you doing here?"

Gu Jinan also hadn't expected Zhou Qinglian to show up. She looked nothing like her usual self, extremely disheveled.

"What about you, why are you here again?" Gu Jinan raised a brow.

"Was that wailing and shrieking earlier made by you?"

Zhou Qinglian felt rather awkward. "No...not me."

"Your tears haven't even dried yet."

Zhou Qinglian hurriedly reached up to feel her face. Then she heard Gu Jinan give a derisive snort.

She pursed her lips, smoothing back her hair, "What are you doing in the hospital? Didn't you say you were going to seduce Shen Tang? Could it be you failed?"

Men can't stand hearing the word "failure".

And Gu Jinan, now impotent, could stand it even less.

His expression instantly changed, as if he had become someone else altogether, grabbing the fruit basket from the bedside table and hurling it at her.

"Get out! Get out!"

"You dare to hit me!"

Zhou Qinglian had never suffered such grievance before. Picking up several apples from the floor she pelted them right back at Gu Jinan with a rat-tat-tat.

One apple struck true. Gu Jinan's eyes rolled back under the renewed assault to his sensitive area and he promptly fainted.

Zhou Qinglian disdainfully tutted, "So weak."
