Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Women Really Hold Grudges
Tang Yu asked her to pull up her clothes...
Gu Yan’s face immediately turned crimson, although her face was so swollen that it was hard to tell if she was blushing.
But she still felt her face burning, not from pain, but from embarrassment.
"Why do you want me to lift my clothes! Are you trying to take advantage of me!"
Tang Yu, "..."
He glanced at her face silently, "If I wanted to take advantage, now wouldn’t be the right time."
He almost said outright, just with your face like that now, who could even think of taking advantage? If so, let them step forward, so I can praise them!
Gu Yan felt a lump in her throat, stuck there, not going up or down.
"You’re ruthless! What do you want to do!"
"It’s just one night and you’ve already forgotten about the injury on your waist. Where did your memory go?"
Gu Yan suddenly realized, only then remembering that her waist wasn’t in great shape either, then she felt a faint pain there.
"You could have just said so earlier." Gu Yan grumbled softly.
Tang Yu didn’t want to talk to her anymore, whatever he did seemed to be faulted by her and seen as improper behavior.
He’s not that desperate, okay!
At least, he’d wait until her injuries were healed before thinking about that.
Tang Yu thought, once her injuries were healed this time, they should be proper and willing...
Just thinking about it, Young Master Tang felt a rush of heat in his lower abdomen, eagerly anticipating that day.
Right then, Gu Yan lifted her clothes again, sparking his imagination more.
But while he was lost in thought, the red marks on her waist were exposed.
Those red marks instantly doused all his improper thoughts.
His gaze dimmed; it was because of him that Gu Yan was suffering like this.
His heart tightened, and he vowed never to let Gu Yan suffer this kind of harm again.
The first time was his carelessness, thinking no one knew about their relationship, but there wouldn’t be a second time!
There must be no next time!
If Xiang Linghao hadn’t happened to see it this time, he wouldn’t even know when he could discover Gu Yan’s disappearance, let alone with their previous relationship, even if he saw she wasn’t home, he wouldn’t know where she might have gone, let alone think she was kidnapped.
Gu Yan didn’t know what Tang Yu was thinking, anyway, she just felt rather embarrassed and willingly didn’t say a word throughout.
Last night she was scared out of her senses, kissing him proactively and applying medicine; she didn’t feel much, just that with Tang Yu beside her, she felt secure.
A cool sensation wafted over her waist, soothing her heart, with a subtle feeling growing.
After applying the medicine, Tang Yu tidied up the medicine bottle, got up, and said to her, "I asked You Shuyang to take a leave for you today, wait until the swelling on your face goes down before you go to work."
"Oh." Gu Yan responded, "Tomorrow’s the assessment, and I’m taking a leave again, just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed."
She had been working at the Tang Family for a while, and this was the second time she took a leave, and her assessment had been repeatedly postponed.
Who knows what the company people might think or say about her, surely thinking she was scared she wouldn’t perform well in the assessment, hence kept finding excuses to delay it.
Gu Yan sighed inwardly, it wasn’t like she wanted to be injured and take leave.
Who wants to be wounded every now and then, others don’t feel it, but it’s herself suffering, okay.
"If you feel embarrassed, I don’t mind you going to work now and performing with that pig head face in front of everyone."
Tang Yu placed the medicine back into the drawer of the TV cabinet, turned his head, and said.
Gu Yan left the dining room and sat on the sofa, "...I think I should rest well for a few days until the swelling goes down before going, considering how this face might damage the company’s image."
"No, you only represent yourself; because there are plenty of good-looking people in my company. Standing among them, you’re not that noticeable."
Gu Yan felt utterly exhausted, "Can’t you just say something nice for me to hear, instead of always picking on me."
Young Master Tang sat leisurely on the sofa, seriously saying, "I’m just speaking the truth, I never say those false words."
Gu Yan felt choked by a mouthful of blood in her throat, unable to swallow or spit it out, "Tang Yu, I suspect that when you said you liked me, you were just teasing me!"
Who the hell teases someone they like that much!
Tang Yu either has a screw loose or is downright crazy!
Who knew after hearing Gu Yan’s words, Tang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, and calmly said, "When did I say I liked you? Miss Gu, it seems your hearing is really failing."
Gu Yan was furious, "So when you previously said you only wanted me, was that a lie?"
"I’ve never lied about what I’ve said, but which word here was about liking you?"
Gu Yan paused, thought about it carefully, and realized there really wasn’t one. Not only in this sentence, but from start to finish, he never said it.
Gu Yan became even angrier. So after talking for so long before, he didn’t even express liking her, and she was just enjoying herself on her own!
What a tragedy, she felt so annoyed inside!
Miss Gu pointed at him angrily, accusing, "You deceived my feelings!"
"What did I deceive? I didn’t say anything; it was your own interpretation. What’s that got to do with me?"
Miss Gu was very unhappy, angry for a while, then she suddenly laughed, "Alright, since you didn’t say you like me, then let’s just assume you don’t. Now, I’m neither your concubine nor someone you like. I feel like staying here is unjustified; freeloading makes me feel guilty. So, I’ll ask Xiang Lan to help me find a place, and I’ll move out tomorrow, so as not to disturb Young Master Tang’s life anymore."
As Gu Yan spoke, she pretended to get up, "Actually, I’ve gotten tired of this place too. There’s no one to talk to, it’s so boring. Since the owner doesn’t like me, I really feel bad insisting on staying here."
When Tang Yuxiu heard her say she was going to move out, he couldn’t stay calm. He glared at her intensely, "Gu Yan, I’ve said, don’t even think about leaving my side!"
"Why can’t I leave? We’re no longer in the sponsor and concubine relationship. To put it bluntly, there’s no relationship at all. You no longer have the right to keep me here, and anyway, you don’t like me, so isn’t my presence here just an eyesore for you."
In the end, this woman was just fixated on his not saying he liked her!
Damn it! They were right; women and petty people are hard to deal with. Gu Yan now, not only being a woman but a petty person too!
Tang Yuxiu gritted his teeth. It was he who said she was no longer his concubine, and once spoken, it couldn’t be taken back. Now, she’s using it very well against him.
"If you dare leave, I’ll break your legs."
"You can try; if my legs are broken, I don’t think living would mean much to me. If you want to keep a lifeless person, be my guest."
Tang Yuxiu felt so furious inside; how could he possibly bear to break her legs, he was merely saying it, but he didn’t expect this woman to say such words, using her life to counter him. What else could he say?
How infuriating!
"Don’t forget, your dad is still in the hospital. If you want your dad to be kicked out of the hospital, with none willing to take him in, just go ahead and leave."
"Oh, so now you’re threatening me with my dad!"
Tang Yuxiu sneered, "So what, as long as it works."
"Are you sure?" Gu Yan crossed her arms, looking at him.
Tang Yuxiu looked at her, waiting for her next words.
Gu Yan simply sat back down, spread her arms on both sides, and sank into the soft sofa.
"Anyway, my dad’s surgery is done; he’s recovering now, so he doesn’t need to stay in the hospital. Self-care at home would be fine. If Jiang City can’t keep us, I’ll take my dad and leave, go back home, or to another place. The world is big; I’m sure there are places Young Master Tang can’t find."
Gu Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "But anyway, since Young Master Tang doesn’t like me, even if I go somewhere else, you probably wouldn’t waste time looking for me. At most, you’ll just curse me for being ungrateful in your heart. Go ahead, curse all you want; since I can’t hear or see it, it doesn’t hurt or itch."
Gu Yan spoke so casually and comfortably. Young Master Tang was almost in tears; no matter what he said, she always had another response waiting for him, making him speechless!
Nothing works, nothing works; this woman just won’t rest until he says he likes her, right?
Why are women so fond of nitpicking? Young Master Tang didn’t understand.
A single "I like you"—wouldn’t knowing his feelings suffice? Why persist until she heard those words?
A woman’s mind is as hard to penetrate as a needle in the sea; he finally had a taste of it.
However, what left him speechless the most was that the two of them were spending time on such a ridiculous issue here.
"No matter where you go, I can find you!" Tang Yuxiu’s eyes fixed on her as he spoke.
He had a universal information database in You Shuyang; no matter what he had to investigate, there was nothing he couldn’t find—just a question of time.
Even if she went to the ends of the earth, he had a way to find her!
The woman Tang Yuxiu set his sights on should just peacefully stay by his side for a lifetime, enjoying everything he would provide.
Gu Yan, for a moment, was touched by Tang Yuxiu’s words.
Women are so easily moved by a single sentence, so easily influenced.
And she knew, everything Tang Yuxiu said was true.
In fact, the most heartwarming words aren’t "I like you" or "I love you," but rather that no matter where you go, as long as you turn around, he will be within reach, silently protecting you.
In front of him, Gu Yan insisted on not showing any signs of being moved. Instead, she pretended to be spoiled and looked at him, "I remember you telling Nie Rong and your friends before that I wasn’t any important person to you. Why are you so intent on keeping me by your side?"
Does she mean to bring up the past now?
Young Master Tang’s gaze darkened, gritting his teeth, "You said it yourself, that was before!"
Back then, he wasn’t clear about his feelings, so he said those things. Now that he’s clear, of course, it’s different!
Women really hold grudges!
