Chapter 107
Shen Tang hesitated, very much wanting to ask clearly. But she also felt it would seem too money-minded and realistic, which didn't seem very good.
Gu Huaian could hear her psychological activities very clearly, and deliberately pretended not to know.
After much mental preparation, Shen Tang decided there was nothing to be embarrassed about for liking money. What did she have to feel awkward about?
"Ahem, um..."
"What is it?" Gu Huaian pretended not to know.
"Is that agreement still valid?"
"Of course it's invalid."
Shen Tang's face instantly collapsed. Carefully she asked, "Then what about my money...?"
"I myself am yours, so naturally my money is yours too."
Shen Tang: "..."
Here it comes, though late the pie he painted is arriving.
Don't men always say things like this?
Her best friend's boyfriend had said the same thing in her past life. Then the man saved up his salary, saying it was to buy a house, while the woman's money was spent on living expenses for them both.
Of course, she wasn't comparing Gu Huaian with scumbags.
Gu Huaian definitely wouldn't stoop low. But spending someone else's money and your own money were completely different things!
Although she liked money, she didn't want to just keep asking others for it.
Gu Huaian heard her thoughts loud and clear.
He gave Shen Tang's hair a big rub with his hand. Not surprisingly, she was his wife.
"Have you checked your card?"
"No."
"Check it now."
Shen Tang guessed what had happened. She logged into her phone's app and glanced at the balance, instantly dumbstruck.
"Wait, how much money is this?"
"Let's see, one two three four five six seven eight nine... nine digits is how much money? Tens hundreds millions billions trillion!"
Shen Tang's eyes widened. "Is this three billion?"
"Yes."
"Why did you give me so much money?"
Compared to these billions, her previous savings were negligible.
"It's for supporting my wife."
"Ha?" "I saw online that boyfriends always turn over their salaries, right?"
"But isn't this too much?!"
Shen Tang still felt a sense of unreality. Had she struck it rich?
She even felt the money was burning her hand, and had an urge to give it back.
Wake up Shen Tang! Have you forgotten your money-loving persona?
"I..." She was reluctant to return the money, yet also hesitated to keep it. Shen Tang the money maniac was conflicted.
Gu Huaian laughed softly. "It's yours now that I gave it to you. This is all my salary over the years. It's all yours. What's mine is now yours, and what's yours is still yours."
Shen Tang swallowed. "Is that a promise?"
"It is!"
"Then what will you spend?"
Gu Huaian took Shen Tang's hand. "I'll have to rely on my wife from now on."
"Who's your wife?!"
They had just started dating and he was already calling her his wife! Wouldn't they have to sleep together eventually?
How adorable, makes me want to kiss him.
Gu Huaian didn't hold back. He pulled Shen Tang into his arms and fiercely kissed her face several times.
Of course, it was aimed at her face.
Shen Tang expressionlessly wiped her face. Was this guy crazy?
That night, Shen Tang received a call from her agent regarding the photos.
Shen Tang was conflicted about how to respond. Gu Huaian moved next to the phone and said, "That's right, we're together now."
Pei Kesong didn't say much, only "I see" and "Be careful."
At first Shen Tang thought she knew about her camping trip here, and was worried about safety issues.
But then she realized Pei Kesong meant that kind of "be careful."
Shen Tang: "..."
Did everyone think something had happened between her and Gu Huaian?
Did no one believe they lay together in bed chatting purely under the blanket?
Gu Huaian was silent. To be honest, if he wasn't himself, he wouldn't quite believe it either.
Happy times always pass quickly. Two days after her date with Gu Huaian, Shen Tang had to report to filming again.
It seemed she was always shooting dramas, though none had aired yet.
Gu Huaian was reluctant to part. "Why don't I just come with you on set?"
"Then who'll handle your work?"
"I'll hand it to Assistant Cen."
Assistant Cen suddenly jerked his head up. "???"
"No, President Gu, you—"
"You can't always bully Assistant Cen alone. He doesn't even have time to date." Assistant Cen adjusted his glasses. "Too true."
"I'll give you a 5% raise every month."
Hearing Gu Huaian's words, Assistant Cen immediately smiled. "It is my honor to serve President Gu."
Shen Tang: "..."
Recalling Assistant Cen's mentioned salary, Shen Tang mentally calculated the 5% increase and admired it.
Though she was shooting dramas, her popularity wasn't high. Her pay wasn't nearly as much as the main actors.
But it was still far more than ordinary people earned.
"Come on, I have to get back on set. Hurry and settle your work, then we can go out and play. I've never gone sightseeing!"
As expected, hearing this, a trace of distress flashed through Gu Huaian's eyes.
"Alright, anywhere you want to go, we'll go. In the future we'll travel the whole world."
Shen Tang waved her hand. "My ride is here, bye for now!"
Just as she was about to get in the car, Shen Tang suddenly turned and ran back. Standing on tiptoes, she kissed Gu Huaian's mouth with a pop.
"Take good care of yourself, I'll check in on you from time to time."
"You too."
Assistant Cen expressionlessly ate a bowlful of dog food.
The two lingered over their farewells before Shen Tang finally got in the car and left.
Gu Huaian looked to Assistant Cen, who immediately made a "zip it" gesture, getting it in a second.
"You know how it is, they're in the honeymoon phase."
Assistant Cen desperately wanted to say he didn't know.
Nor did he want to know.
President Gu was just dating, so why did it feel like his soul had been replaced?
Assistant Cen was starting to get scared.
Making sure President Gu didn't see, he hurriedly brushed away the goosebumps on his arm.
This was way too creepy.
After returning to set, Shen Tang was immediately approached by the Director and Qi Yue.
Qi Yue grabbed Shen Tang's arm and pulled her aside to ask softly, "Well, did you do it?"
Before Shen Tang could reply, she saw the Director cocking his ear to eavesdrop.
Shen Tang: "..."
One was gossipier than the next.
"You're imagining things, nothing happened."
Qi Yue rubbed her chin in surprise. "That can't be. Could he be impotent?"
The Director popped his head over. "Who is it? Is it President Gu Huaian? Tang Tang, the news says you two are together. Is it true?"
"It's fake!"
The Director hissed. "You're lying."
"Why ask when you already know the answer?"
The Director excitedly covered his mouth. "So you really are together!!!"
