Chapter 146

Shen Tang was thinking that no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't go and force a patient lying in bed to do anything!

Gu Huaian also didn't expect the method to be so simple and crude. He glanced at his own useless leg and wished he could get better immediately.

"Actually, I can—"

"No, you can't!"

Shen Tang definitely didn't want to do that with him in the ward.

Gu Huaian sighed, "Fine, then we'll have to wait until I get better."

Shen Tang felt somehow strange discussing this topic openly during the day.

She changed the topic and asked, "So are we staying here or going back?"

She wanted to earn some tutoring fees. At the same time, she was worried the bumpy ride would be bad for Gu Huaian's health.

Since he could hear her thoughts, Gu Huaian said, "Let's go back. We can take the plane."

A private plane could fly them directly to Gu Family Hospital. Gu Huaian really didn't want to stay here anymore. That Xie Xuan was like a piece of chewing gum, annoying him to no end.

Speak of the devil.

He just thought of Xie Xuan and heard her chatter loudly at the door.

"Sister Tang! I'm here to see you!"

Yes, ever since Xie Xuan decided not to like Gu Huaian anymore and to like Shen Tang instead, she had changed how she addressed her.

Not only that, she had also joined the fan club and spent money to become one of the administrators.

Of course, Shen Tang didn't know any of this because she hadn't checked her phone much.

When Shen Tang heard Xie Xuan's voice, she also felt a headache coming. "What are you doing here?"

What she really wanted to ask was why are you here again, but she was afraid it would upset Xie Xuan.

"I'm here to see you! Sister Tang, it must be difficult for you to stay here with bad food. Why don't you come stay at my house? My family's chef is very good at cooking all kinds of cuisines."

Shen Tang's mouth watered.

To be fair, the hospital food really wasn't that tasty. For someone whose taste buds had been pampered like Shen Tang, it was a little hard to swallow.

Gu Huaian's face instantly darkened. He couldn't be more grateful for the decision they just made.

"Tang Tang..."

Shen Tang swallowed and painfully rejected the offer: "I'd better not bother you. I'll be leaving soon."

"Leaving? Where are you going?" Xie Xuan panicked and grabbed Shen Tang's arm while questioning her.

"Home. I have work to do too." "I'm going with you!" Xie Xuan blurted out.

Gu Huaian: "..."

"No!"

He didn't agree!

Xie Xuan completely ignored him and pleaded with Shen Tang, "Sister Tang, can I go back with you? I just came back to the country and don't have any friends. I'm so bored by myself..."

Here it comes again!

When Shen Tang heard this kind of talk from Xie Xuan, her motherly love would overflow and she could never harden her heart against a girl.

Seeing that Shen Tang was about to agree, Gu Huaian quickly said: "Xie Xuan! Does your brother know you're leaving?"

Of course he didn't know.

Xie Xuan rolled her eyes at Gu Huaian, "You're so annoying. Can you please not interrupt when we are talking?"

"Pfft!"

Shen Tang almost laughed out loud.

So this is the difference between new love and old love?

"I think you still need your brother's permission. Also, I'll be busy with work when I go back, so I probably won't have time to play with you."

Xie Xuan instantly deflated, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.

"But I really want to go with you..."

Shen Tang almost slipped out an agreement.

This pitiful look was just too much!

"Cough, well I won't have much work soon, so if you come over then, I can host you and show you around properly."

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up in delight. "Really? Sister Tang, I knew you were the best, much better than someone!"

"Really!"

Shen Tang gave Gu Huaian a side glance.

See that? You're not even a fly on the wall anymore.

The mind reading still had some benefits in that no words needed to be exchanged for everything to be understood.

Gu Huaian wearily massaged his brow. A fly on the wall? He didn't even want to be that. Whoever wanted to could have that role.

If Xie Xuan wasn't Xie Yuan's sister, he would've kicked her out long ago.

Because of Xie Xuan's visit this time, Gu Huaian arranged a plane in the afternoon to come pick them up and they left that night.

After returning, Gu Huaian continued to recuperate in the hospital, though his work didn't fall behind at all.

Shen Tang went about her work as scheduled, shuttling between the hospital, Shen Family, studio, and Second Young Master Zhou's Family every day.

She didn't feel tired at all, especially with the large sums of money she was making.

On average, her daily income was around six digits. What was there to complain about?

Zhou Jin's attitude towards Shen Tang had also strangely improved. He was very cooperative during classes. Shen Tang didn't know why, but it was better this way. It made it easier for her to earn money.

A month passed swiftly and Gu Huaian recovered completely.

Today was the day he would be discharged from the hospital.

Shen Tang came to the hospital carrying a large bouquet, just about to enter when she heard strange sounds coming from the room that sounded like pain mixed with pleasure.

She almost doubted that she had entered the wrong room.

But no, the room number was right.

"Get out!" An angry shout came from inside.

Shen Tang froze for a moment. Just as she was about to push the door open, Zhou Qinglian stumbled out with disheveled clothes and red-rimmed eyes.

Seeing Shen Tang, Zhou Qinglian was clearly startled. She glared fiercely at her before running off.

Shen Tang: "..."

Wait, what did this have to do with her?

She thought for a moment, then curled her finger to lightly knock on the door. "Um, can I come in?"

Footsteps sounded and Gu Huaian strode over and pulled Shen Tang into his embrace.

"Tang Tang, I was almost taken advantage of..." Gu Huaian sounded greatly wronged.

"Zhou Qinglian, she..."

"She wanted to take me for herself. Fortunately, my reaction was fast enough."

Shen Tang didn't really misunderstand hearing those earlier sounds, just felt a little awkward.

To be honest, she had almost forgotten Zhou Qinglian's existence. She didn't expect Zhou Qinglian still hadn't given up.

Was she trying to force herself on him?

Wow, did she think she alone could restrain a grown man like Gu Huaian?

Shouldn't she have come when he was still severely ill instead of waiting until he had recovered?

It seemed she wasn't very smart.

Gu Huaian was a little dissatisfied. He buried his head on Shen Tang's shoulder and said softly: "Tang Tang, my body has recovered."

"Mm, I've come to take you home."

"Don't want to go back to the villa."

"Okay, then we won't."

It was all the same for her. Though, she did miss Peach Blossom a little. She hadn't seen her for a long time.

The two went back to Gu Huaian's place near his company. Mindful of the mind reading still in effect, Shen Tang controlled her brain on the way, trying not to think of anything inappropriate. But when Gu Huaian bent down to change his shoes, she couldn't help but glance at his perky bottom.

[Damn, so perky!]

Shen Tang almost reflexively reached out to slap it but managed to restrain herself.

Gu Huaian: "???"

What reflex?

Just who else have you slapped before?!
