Chapter 80

“Hot...”

Shen Tang tugged at her collar, but couldn’t get it off no matter what.

She opened her eyes hazily, “Mmm, help me take off my clothes...”

Gu Huaian's movements paused for a moment as he was helping to pour water, and said in a low voice, “Bear with it for a bit, I’ll go call someone.”

Shen Tang couldn’t wait any longer. She pouted disappointedly, “The clothes are too tight...”

Gu Huaian’s gaze lowered, landing on the peaks, and quickly looked away, finally settling on Shen Tang’s slightly protruding belly.

The cheongsam was a fitted style, very figure-flattering, so Shen Tang’s belly was very noticeable.

Gu Huaian was a little helpless. How much did she eat?

“Let me loosen it for you.”

However, after fumbling around for a bit, he couldn't find where the zipper was.

He was sweating bullets, and Shen Tang was also anxiously waiting.

“Hurry up...” she urged.

“I can't find where it is.”

“Oh, it's right down there...” Shen Tang desperately wanted to do it herself, but the dress's zipper was hidden. It was normal that he couldn't find it.

However, her whole body felt weak and powerless, her waist was still uncomfortably constricted, and she felt a bit nauseous.

Outside the door, Old Madam Gu, who had come to check on Shen Tang, had an awkward expression on her face as she retracted her hand that was about to knock on the door.

She looked at Gu Qingan beside her, “Let’s go, it doesn’t seem to be a good time for us to come.”

Gu Qingan tutted twice. He didn't expect his younger brother to be so stupid. He really wanted to spread this story and have everyone join in mocking him.

“Young people are so impatient these days...”

They can’t even wait until they get home. Such youthful vigor!

The two went downstairs. Old Master Gu snorted coldly, “I knew this would happen.”

Old Madam Gu glared at him, “If you have nothing nice to say, keep quiet.”

Old Master Gu moved his lips, but didn’t talk back. Instead, he glared at Gu Qingan, “What are you laughing at? Anran even threw up, and you as her mother didn’t stop her!”

Gu Qingan didn't expect to become collateral damage.

But wait, Anran threw up?

"Mom, let me go take a look."

"I'm going with you. Seeing your dad just irritates me."

Old Master Gu: "..."

Life was truly unbearable. He surreptitiously looked left and right. Seeing no one was looking, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

How they acted in private was one thing, but he absolutely could not lose face in public.

Upstairs in the room, Gu Huaian finally helped Shen Tang unzip her dress. A glimpse of white flashed before his eyes and he quickly averted his gaze.

“Is this okay?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized his throat felt a little dry.

He grabbed the glass of water next to him and took a big gulp, then remembered this was the water Shen Tang had just drank from.

His ears turned even redder, and his face was also flushed.

Gu Huaian felt a bit nervous and clumsy, emotions he hadn’t experienced in years.

He turned his back to Shen Tang. Rustling sounds came from behind him.

Glancing back, he saw Shen Tang had taken off her cheongsam, left only in a set of cute lace lingerie.

Gu Huaian’s eyes shook. He abruptly stood up and turned around, throwing the blanket over Shen Tang with one hand behind his back.

"Hot..." Shen Tang struggled.

"Don't move! I'll turn the air conditioning down."

Gu Huaian picked up the remote control and directly set the temperature to 16 degrees Celsius.

Soon, the cold air hit them. Shen Tang finally stopped fidgeting.

Gu Huaian was originally soaked in sweat, but the blast of cold air made him shiver.

He pulled his sleeves down and put his jacket back on, once again taking on the appearance of the aloof, abstinent Gu Huaian.

That is, ignoring his wandering gaze and flushed earlobes.

In the middle of the night, Shen Tang woke up needing to pee badly. Reaching out to turn on the light, she discovered her body felt cool and breezy.

She instantly sobered up and threw off the covers to take a look. She was only wearing her underwear.

What was going on here?

“Awake?”

Hearing the voice, Shen Tang looked over to see Gu Huaian sitting on the sofa.

He had a laptop in front of him, the screen’s light illuminating his face, making his expression unclear.

Shen Tang felt a little guilty, although she didn't know why she felt guilty.

“Um... how did I get here?”

What she really wanted to ask was who helped take off her clothes, but she didn’t dare to ask outright.

“You forgot?”

Shen Tang felt Gu Huaian's tone was a little strange.

Her radar instantly went off. Shen Tang rubbed her head, “I’m still a little dizzy...”

“Drink this sobering soup first.”

Seeing Shen Tang unmoving, Gu Huaian then remembered she wasn't wearing much inside, and threw over a brand new set of pajamas before turning his back.

Shen Tang knew Gu Huaian wouldn’t peep, but the process of changing still felt a bit awkward. She couldn’t help glancing over occasionally.

There’s a saying that goes, appreciate a beauty under lamplight, observe a gentleman under moonlight.

At this hazy moment under the lamp and moonlight, Gu Huaian’s silhouette was particularly attractive. However, Shen Tang didn’t have time to look more. She couldn’t hold it in any longer!

Hastily putting on the pajamas, she rushed to the bathroom.

The pitter patter of water rang out. Shen Tang felt much more comfortable.

After washing her face and removing her makeup, she was fully awake.

But she also felt too embarrassed to come out now.

Because Shen Tang had remembered everything that happened before.

It was so awkward, really super awkward.

She had asked him to help take off her clothes, it was like she was deliberately trying to seduce him.

Heaven knows, she really didn't have that intention. Gu Huaian wouldn't misunderstand, right...

Last time it was Gu Huaian who got drunk and embarrassed himself. She didn't expect it to be her turn so soon. How quickly the wheel of karma turns!

Shen Tang was lost in thought the whole time, dawdling and not coming out.

The bathroom door was suddenly knocked on.

"What's wrong?" she called out.

"I have something to tell you."

After Shen Tang came out, she didn't even lift her head and burrowed back under the covers, mumbling, "What is it? I'm sleepy."

"Since you're sleepy, I’ll tell you next time. It's not urgent anyway."

Hearing Gu Huaian say this, Shen Tang instead became curious.

She poked her head out from the blankets, "I'm not sleepy anymore. What is it?"

Gu Huaian's lips curled up slightly. "It's nothing much, you sleep first and I'll tell you tomorrow."

Shen Tang: "..."

She sat up in bed. "Tell me, tell me. Leaving me hanging like this, I won't be able to sleep."

The sudden coquettishness startled Gu Huaian. He responded half a beat slower, "It's just...Gu Jinan, he..."

"What happened to him?" Shen Tang eagerly asked, eyes shining with gossip.

Gu Huaian's mood was a bit complicated. He had deliberately spoken vaguely to pique her interest, but now seeing how concerned Shen Tang was about Gu Jinan's matters, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He said lightly, "He walked into the wrong room drunk...a one night stand warning."

"Yes. Well, no."

Shen Tang sat cross-legged on the bed. She felt like she was missing a bag of melon seeds to munch on.

"So what exactly happened?" She was truly anxious to know. Gu Huaian's way of speaking was too taxing. She didn't know how his assistant Chen put up with it.

Upon hearing her thoughts, Gu Huaian: "..."

He blurted out in one breath: "Gu Jinan walked into the wrong room drunk. There was a girl already lying in the bed. He got into bed to sleep and the girl kicked him out of bed, beating him up and accusing him of being a pervert.

Gu Huaian paused, then continued, "He suffered three injuries and went to the hospital."

"Hahahahaha!"

Shen Tang didn't expect the incident to be so hilarious. How were Gu Jinan's parts now?

Hahahahaha!
