Chapter 224: Chapter 224: A Gift for Her
Young Master Tang finished washing the dishes, and the water in the sink was as clean as if it had just been drawn.
This was probably the first time in their lives these dishes had been so clean.
If Gu Yan were here, she’d probably complain about his quirks again.
After tidying up the dishes, Young Master Tang also took out the trash from the kitchen, ensuring there was no chance of Gu Yan finding it.
Then he leisurely tidied himself up in the bathroom before coming to the living room.
Seeing him coming, Gu Yan exited Weibo and set her phone aside, climbing to Young Master Tang’s side with sparkling eyes, she voiced the thought that’s been on her mind for a long time.
"Hey boss, I remember you still owe me two thousand bucks for doing chores a while back."
Young Master Tang, "..." You specifically crawled over and looked at me with those eager eyes, just for a mere two thousand bucks.
Is two thousand bucks worth your constant thinking?
You’re with me now, just say the word, not to mention two thousand, I’d give you two million!
I have plenty of stash money.
"What do you need two thousand for?"
"I lost my phone, life without it is so dull and uncomfortable. Return my money, so I can buy one."
"Ambitious." Young Master Tang sneered effortlessly.
Gu Yan was puzzled, what did she do to offend him? Why did he look at her like that?
Young Master Tang only thought this woman was truly clueless.
He suddenly stood up and with a steady stride, went upstairs.
Gu Yan watched his back, assuming he went upstairs to get money, so she waited happily.
Not long after, Tang Yuxiu came down, Gu Yan continued to look at him eagerly, and his hand held a simple yet refined little bag...
Uh, is it a trend to put RMB in bags recently?
Tang Yuxiu came over and directly handed her the bag.
Gu Yan received it, feeling a bit weighty, but it wasn’t RMB. As she opened the bag, she asked, "What’s this?"
"See for yourself."
Gu Yan reached into the bag and pulled out what’s inside, it was a box.
A phone box!
Hmm?
Gu Yan was surprised, "A phone? For me?"
"Yep." Young Master Tang responded coolly, leaning on the sofa looking straight ahead, pretending to watch TV, he just wouldn’t look at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan felt both surprised and delighted, she opened the phone box to find a white phone, the brand was unknown to her...
But it looked exactly like Tang Yuxiu’s, except for the color.
"What kind of phone is this?"
"Designed by Lu Fusheng, not sold on the market, no brand."
Gu Yan was astonished, "Someone among you designs phones! Impressive."
"Humph, that’s nothing, a piece of cake." Young Master Tang scoffed arrogantly, he believed there was no one more amazing than him in the world, how could she praise another man.
Especially that foul-mouthed Lu Fusheng.
Gu Yan fiddled with the new phone while asking him, "When did you prepare this?" How could he be so considerate?
Tang Yuxiu continued looking straight, "I prepared it the day after you lost your phone, forgot to give it to you."
The phone was given to her not only because she lost hers but also because the people who kidnapped her were targeting him. He couldn’t tell her, but just wanted, in some ways, to treat her well and make up for the harm she’d endured.
The assailants were dead, but he’ll definitely find out who was behind it and avenge her.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing him, "Didn’t expect you to be so considerate, boss!"
Feeling like honey was spread in her heart, how cheerful she was with such a stoic person being so thoughtful in these little details.
"Do you think everyone gets this treatment?"
Gu Yan set aside the phone, snuggled up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rubbed her cheek against his neck, "I’m happy because I know you’re so thoughtful only for me."
Though you never say you like me, you let me feel your affection in everyday life.
Her voice was soft, Tang Yuxiu’s heart softened, his big hand wrapped around her waist, "It’s good you know."
Gu Yan smiled, suddenly raising her head to give him a peck on the cheek.
Tang Yuxiu raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by her advance, but how could he be satisfied with just a kiss on the cheek.
So he held her head still and pressed his thin lips to hers.
Gu Yan felt an overwhelming heat engulf her, making her momentarily dizzy and disorientated.
Considering her well-being, after a deep kiss, Tang Yuxiu restrained himself, releasing her as their foreheads met in an exceedingly intimate posture.
Her eyes still carried some dreamy moisture, her lips red as cherry, presenting an irresistible allure to Tang Yuxiu.
Suddenly he carried her in his arms, "There’s one more thing to give you."
Gu Yan wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him in confusion, "What is it?"
"I’ll show you."
Tang Yuxiu embraced her to a seldom-used room on the ground floor.
At the door, Tang Yuxiu set her down, opened the door, and naturally took her hand to walk inside.
"Why are the lights off?" Gu Yan asked. Although there was light from outside, it didn’t illuminate much of the room, so she couldn’t clearly see the situation inside.
"They will be on soon. I’ll take you inside first."
Tang Yuxiu led her into the room, expertly avoiding the furniture. Gu Yan envied his night vision ability.
Tang Yuxiu guided her to a certain spot where there was a window. Since there were no trees outside, the moonlight poured in unabashedly, casting a layer of haze over the room.
With the help of the moonlight, Gu Yan could vaguely see something near the window, large and covered with a white cloth.
"What is this? Is it something you’re going to give me?"
Tang Yuxiu nodded slightly, "Yes."
"Can I uncover it now and see?"
"Stand still here. When I say uncover, you can uncover it."
Gu Yan was puzzled, "What is so mysterious that you have to be so secretive about it?"
"You’ll find out soon enough. Just do as I say."
Gu Yan nodded, "Alright."
Tang Yuxiu turned around, walked to the door, and said to her, "You can hold onto the cloth now."
Gu Yan complied. She was really curious about what was under the white cloth.
Tang Yuxiu made it so mysterious. Her curiosity was piqued to the maximum, and she thought there must be something underneath that she would really anticipate.
As Gu Yan held the corner of the cloth, Tang Yuxiu’s hand covered the light switch. His voice carried a hint of tenderness in this dimly lit room.
"Uncover it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yan immediately did so, eagerly uncovering the cloth. She couldn’t wait to discover the true identity of the object.
At the same time, Tang Yuxiu pressed the light switch.
Gu Yan, having adapted to the dim light, was suddenly blinded by the sudden light. She instinctively closed her eyes and put her hand up to shield them as she let go of the cloth.
After a moment, she composed herself, removed her hand from her face, and slowly opened her eyes.
The item in front of her was completely and clearly revealed.
Gu Yan was suddenly stunned, her eyes filled with shock and surprise, unsure how to react.
The object under the white cloth was actually a piano!
The white piano seemed to glow under the room’s lighting, and Gu Yan couldn’t bear to blink, fearing it was a hallucination.
As she stood there in a daze, Tang Yuxiu walked to her side and softly asked, "Do you like it?"
It took Gu Yan a while to come back to her senses and she asked blankly, "Is it for me? Really for me?"
"That’s right. You’ve passed the assessment; this is a gift for you," Tang Yuxiu said.
In his eyes, Gu Yan seemed born for the piano. When she touched a piano, the radiance emanating from her made her impossible to ignore.
In the world of pianos, she was the most dazzling pearl.
He knew of her love for pianos. From the time she played one in his office, he had wanted to gift her one.
After the incident where she got trapped in the piano room, he became even more certain of this idea, especially since he wanted to renovate a piano room at home just for her.
He had wanted to give her this gift once she passed the assessment for a long time.
In this world, there was probably no gift more suited for her.
A gift...
A piano as a gift for her...
Gu Yan couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment, only that her heart felt full, as if something was about to overflow.
She thought she would never have the chance to touch a piano in this lifetime, but Tang Yuxiu told her to work at his company where she could play her favorite piano every day.
She thought that was the greatest fortune in her life, something she dared not dream of, a man helped make it a reality for her.
But now, there was an even greater surprise before her.
A piano gifted to her...
Does this mean she could not only play her favorite piano whenever she wanted, but now she actually owned one?
"Such a thing doesn’t feel real," Gu Yan said in a daze, staring at the white piano.
Tang Yuxiu touched her head, "There’s nothing unreal about it. From now on, you have me; whatever you want, I can give you."
She was no longer the Gu Yan who relied on others; she was Tang Yuxiu’s woman, the woman at the core of his heart!
Whatever she wanted, as long as he had it, he’d give it to her; even if he didn’t, he would find a way to get it.
She would never have to suffer.
Listening to his words, Gu Yan’s nose suddenly tingled, and her eyes grew slightly red.
She turned to look at Tang Yuxiu, "Tang Yuxiu, you’re so good to me; what will happen if I can’t be without you in the future?"
Tang Yuxiu smiled faintly, "Who said you can leave me in the future?"
Once he decided she belonged to him, she could only be his for a lifetime, with no chance of leaving.
Gu Yan wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head in his embrace, "You’re right. Even if you want me to leave, I wouldn’t want to. If no one else treats me this well, what will I do if I can’t play the piano?"
Gu Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "You’ve given me this piano, and now it’s mine. If you ever want me to leave and not let me take the piano, that would be impossible!"
How could something she’s gotten possibly be returned to him!
Tang Yuxiu was both amused and helpless, "What nonsense."
How could she ever leave?
