Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Tang Dashao Is Not a Virgin
Gu Yan took the phone he tossed over, looking at his seemingly sulking back, feeling amused yet helpless.
Sometimes, Young Master Tang is really childish.
While the childish Young Master Tang was busy in the kitchen, Gu Yan opened Tang Yuxiu’s phone.
However, the screen saver that lit up the screen caught her by surprise, and a surge of warmth and emotion filled her heart.
When did his phone screen turn into a picture of her?
In the dark-toned bedroom, the heavy curtains were wide open, and the sunlight outside eagerly rushed in to illuminate the room. The golden halo fell on Gu Yan’s sleeping face, making it look hazy and beautiful.
She didn’t know when Tang Yuxiu had taken a picture of her sleeping, nor did she know she could be so enchanting at times. She was also unaware that he would do such romantic things.
He never makes a sound about what he does.
These small details, he did them, catching her off guard and making them appear even more precious and touching.
She never knew that his feelings for her might not necessarily be less than hers for him.
It’s just that he’s not good at expressing, nor does he bother to express, only doing what he thinks is right.
Gu Yan looked at the screen, a smile forming on her lips. She glanced towards the kitchen, where the sounds of him battling with kitchenware could be heard.
What could be more satisfying than this?
Gu Yan was in an excellent mood, curling up on the sofa without any image, and started tapping away at the phone joyfully.
However, before she could get fully acquainted with Tang Yuxiu’s phone, messages began to pop up incessantly.
The phone’s notification bar quickly flashed with different messages, and Gu Yan, with her keen eyes, spotted the three words, Young Master Tang.
Overcome by curiosity, she opened the WeChat group to have a look and found it was a private group of Tang Yuxiu’s friends.
Xue Jiarui, "Assistant You, I heard that Young Master Tang didn’t go to work today, and neither did Gu Yan. Is it true?"
Assistant You didn’t show up, but Xiang Linghao appeared first, "Where did you hear that from? Why so many rumors."
Xue Jiarui, "Why do you care where I heard it from, Young Master Tang and Gu Yan not going to work together, isn’t it obvious there’s something going on between them? Unlike you, letting opportunities slip through your fingers."
Xue Jiarui mentioning this only made Xiang Linghao’s anger rise. Could anyone sabotage his sister and brother like this!
Xiang Linghao was really afraid he’d go overboard and mess things up with Xue Xianglan.
Xiang Linghao, "Xue Jiarui, shut up, bring it up again, and I’ll dissect you."
Lu Yiyun popped up, "Looks like a lot happened last night, someone must be having their wish fulfilled, possibly still basking in tenderness, while someone else is here sulking angrily."
Xiang Linghao, "..."
Even Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel speechless, these people, who seemed so serious on the surface and distant to strangers, in reality, took pleasure in making fun of each other and were quite approachable.
At this point, another person appeared, the name showing as Lu Fusheng.
Gu Yan heard them mention last night that he was Lu Yiyun’s brother, but not sure which corner abroad he was in currently, so she hadn’t met him yet.
Lu Fusheng, "You heartless bunch, took advantage of me not being there last night to hit on Tang Yuxiu’s woman, and still dare to boast here!"
Lu Yiyun, "What’s there to boast about?"
Lu Fusheng, "Haha." In short, they were discussing the events of last night’s party, blatantly showing off to him. They were all there, except him!
He also wanted to see what kind of woman had tamed Young Master Tang, and wanted to know which woman had such courage to fancy that Tang Yuxiu scoundrel.
Xue Jiarui, "Guys, we’re off-topic here, you’re always going off-topic, isn’t it possible to talk properly?"
Lu Yiyun, "Oh, then may I ask Young Master Xue, what is our main topic?"
Xue Jiarui, "...Sis, don’t ruin it."
Lu Yiyun, "Kid, you finally called me sis. Alright, since you did, tell us, what’s our main topic?"
Xue Jiarui, "It’s about whether Young Master Tang and Gu Yan have gone all the way!"
Lu Fusheng, "I bet a dime that Tang Yuxiu is emotionally clueless, how could he possibly score, give him a cross mark."
Lu Yiyun, "That’s not necessarily so, after all, Brother Tang’s IQ is decent, if EQ isn’t enough, IQ makes up for it, I bet a dime they’ve succeeded!"
Everyone was used to the sibling’s contrarian nature.
But Gu Yan felt speechless and blushing.
It was the first time she saw such contrarian siblings, yet their relationship was quite good.
Moreover, they were discussing... whether she and Tang Yuxiu had done that kind of thing!
These people really are... yet she had no way to refute them.
She dared to bet two dimes that if she accidentally exposed herself, she’d definitely become their target!
So she decided to keep lurking, using Tang Yuxiu’s alias to lurk well.
Xiang Linghao, "Assistant You hasn’t appeared to confirm whether Young Master Tang really didn’t go to work. If he didn’t, haha, then I bet a dollar, Young Master Tang is no longer a virgin."
Virgin... Young Master Tang not a virgin...
Gu Yan felt a bit of a thunderbolt, these people really dare to say anything.
Could it be that before her, he was truly abstinent, pure as jade?
Undeniably, Gu Yan felt quite happy inside.
At this moment, Assistant You appropriately popped up, "I can testify, both of them really didn’t come to work, Young Master Tang personally called to request leave!"
Xiang Linghao, "Oh, looks like really lost his virginity, we should congratulate Young Master Tang."
Then came a flood of messages, "Congratulations to Young Master Tang for losing his virginity!"
Gu Yan, "..."
Assistant You, is it really okay for you to betray your boss like this? Aren’t you afraid of getting fired or having your salary docked?
They were discussing her and Tang Yuxiu’s issues as if she didn’t know, and now that she did, how could she face them pretending nothing had happened next time they met!
Sure enough, the friends who hang out with Tang Yuxiu are just like him, nothing good!
The WeChat group chat continued, and Gu Yan wanted to turn it off but couldn’t help but keep watching what else they had to say.
Lu Yiyun, "Mr. Lu Fusheng, you lost the bet, pay up."
Lu Fusheng, "The way you’re acting, it’s like you’ve never seen money in your life, wanting even a penny."
Lu Yiyun, "No, it’s two cents!"
Xiang Linghao, "I have another dollar here, no, a dollar and a dime, hurry up and settle it."
Lu Fusheng, "...Do you people who deal in millions and tens of millions really have the nerve to haggle over a dollar and a dime with a poor person like me?"
"A dime is still money!" both Lu Yiyun and Xiang Linghao said at the same time.
Lu Fusheng, "...Haha." He gave them a cold smile.
At this moment, You Shuyang spoke up again, "By the way, there’s another earth-shattering thing!"
With such an exaggerated phrase used by You Shuyang, everyone showed immense interest.
"Spit it out already!"
Gu Yan was also curious; what else could be described as earth-shattering?
You Shuyang said, "This afternoon, Young Master asked me to bring food to his villa, which is such an ordinary thing, but what happened next was terrifying!"
When You Shuyang reached this point, he paused, and everyone was annoyed, "Stop teasing us and hurry up!"
Only then did You Shuyang slowly type, "Young Master actually asked me to teach him how to heat the food!"
Everyone, "...!"
Xue Jiarui, "Are you sure you didn’t express it wrongly?"
Xiang Linghao, "Assistant You, be honest with your words."
Lu Yiyun, "Same here, Assistant You, I don’t read much so don’t deceive me."
Lu Fusheng, "This really is earth-shattering!"
Gu Yan thought so too!
No wonder Tang Yuxiu had been so eager to heat up the food just now, turns out he had prepared in advance.
He was so considerate, Gu Yan felt a bit uneasy.
But even so, she still didn’t quite trust Young Master Tang’s skills in the kitchen.
You Shuyang, "Do I have money to gain from deceiving you?"
Everyone in unison, "No!"
You Shuyang, "Cheapskates!" Obviously, each of them is a millionaire!
Xue Jiarui, "Young Master Tang really hit rock bottom this time."
Xiang Linghao, "As if he had ever hit rock bottom before."
Lu Yiyun, "To say the least, the partner that the Tang Family found for Brother Tang doesn’t catch my eye at all, but Gu Yan is a better match."
Lu Fusheng, "I agree, if Tang Yuxiu really goes for that woman, I’d definitely question his taste."
Xiang Linghao, "Then get ready to use a scalpel to dig his eyes out."
You Shuyang, "The point is, Young Master isn’t interested in that woman at all, he’s completely focused on Gu Yan."
Xiang Linghao, "So his eyes are still safely on his face."
Xue Jiarui, "Brother Hao, would you really dare dig his eyes out?"
Xiang Linghao, "Anyway, that day won’t come, I can show off a little bit."
Lu Yiyun, "Look at you, acting all scared."
Xiang Linghao, "Little girl, watch your mouth."
Lu Yiyun, "I’m just stating the facts."
Lu Fusheng rarely sides with Lu Yiyun, echoing, "Facts!"
Xiang Linghao, "...can you guys change the subject back and stop picking on me."
Xue Jiarui, "You’re the doctor, cure yourself if there’s something wrong."
Xiang Linghao wanted to punch them.
But truthfully, they didn’t linger on that topic and neither did they steer the discussion back; instead, they switched to a different topic.
Lu Fusheng, "I noticed something strange. Second Young Master Tang, who always has a keen interest in Young Master Tang’s affairs, hasn’t been around to comment on his brother’s new ’accomplishment’ today?"
With Lu Fusheng’s remark, everyone realized that, besides the subject of discussion, Tang Yuxiu, being absent, Tang Mubei also hadn’t appeared.
Usually, whenever there’s gossip about Young Master Tang, he’d be the first to spot it, lurking silently and occasionally jumping in to say a thing or two, showing he’s been there all along. But today, he’s remained silent, as if absent.
Gu Yan also realized it; although there were seven people in the group chat, only five had been actively participating. Besides her checking it with Tang Yuxiu’s phone, there was still one more who hadn’t spoken.
