Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Can You Still Stay Hard Like This?
Tang Yuxiu sulkily turned back to grab his pajamas, ignoring Gu Yan, and went straight to the bathroom.
Gu Yan smiled helplessly, thinking how adorably tsundere he was.
After Young Master Tang finished his shower, he lifted the blanket and lay on the bed, rudely kicking Gu Yan, with a displeased tone, "Go shower already, how dare you lie on the bed this dirty."
Gu Yan turned a page of the book, eyeing him sideways, "So now you’re disgusted with me?"
"Hmph." Young Master Tang snorted without speaking, but the disdain in his eyes was obvious!
Gu Yan, slightly angry, almost threw the book in her hand at him, "What if I don’t shower, what can you do about it? Go ahead and be disgusted; it’s not like it’ll cost you anything."
Gu Yan was purposely annoying him, exploiting his severe cleanliness habit as a ready advantage that shouldn’t be wasted.
Young Master Tang managed to darken his expression; he wanted to pounce over and strangle this woman with both hands, put some force into it, so she would stop opposing him and contradicting him at every turn.
However, it was precisely this side of Gu Yan that intrigued him, drawing him in unconsciously.
By the time he realized it, he didn’t want to let go and wanted to keep her by his side forever.
"For a woman to be so unhygienic, aren’t you embarrassed?"
"You’re not me, so how would you know I’m embarrassed. I’m not embarrassed at all!" Gu Yan grinned triumphantly at him, her smile further irritating Young Master Tang.
"Gu Yan, you look like you’re asking for a beating." Tang Yuxiu squinted, expressionless.
Seeing his demeanor, Gu Yan feigned surprise and covered her mouth with her hand, "Boss, do you want to hit me? Want to hit me again? How unmanly, always wanting to hit a woman."
Young Master Tang, "..." Is he utterly defeated by this woman now?
Right now, Young Master Tang’s inner thoughts were, why did he have to confess, why did he let this woman confidently ride roughshod over him?
Isn’t he just bringing this trouble upon himself?
Gu Yan loved seeing Tang Yuxiu lost for words, internally displeased yet unable to retort, it put her in a top mood.
She patted Tang Yuxiu’s shoulder, "Okay, I’m just teasing you, I’ll go shower now."
She put down the book, got off the bed, and cheerfully grabbed her pajamas and headed into the bathroom.
Young Master Tang, "..." This was all he could use to express his indescribable inner world at the moment.
The sound of water came from the bathroom, Young Master Tang listened to it intently, and then his lower abdomen seemed to have a faint reaction.
Young Master Tang gloomily looked at his lower body, could it have some dignity, she’s only running water in the bathroom, and you get worked up. As a man, why are you so desperate!
To have the urge with her current appearance, haven’t touched a woman in eight hundred years or what!
Self-analyzing to this point, Young Master Tang paused unexplainably, perhaps it’s really the case...
Ugh! Young Master Tang got angry, suddenly sliding himself into the blanket, covering even his head, forbidding himself from listening to the water sound from the bathroom, forbidding himself from thinking about all those nonsensical things.
When Gu Yan came out, she saw Young Master Tang wrapped up into a ball, looking puzzled. What’s wrong with him? Possessed by a ghost?
"What are you doing?" Gu Yan went over and nudged him.
Young Master Tang suddenly flung the blanket open, grabbed her wrist, and with slight force, pulled her onto the bed, quickly flipping over to press her under him.
Gu Yan, "..." What is this about?
"Well, boss, in my current state, you can still..." Gu Yan said, moving her leg, accidentally touching something below him, then blinked, "still hard?"
Young Master Tang almost spat up his heart’s blood!
Woman, could you not be so unromantic, destroying the mood!
If he had known, he would have dealt with her first!
Young Master Tang, stifling frustration, turned over from on top of her, irritably lying on the side.
Gu Yan looked cluelessly at the ceiling, unable to figure out the whole time what was wrong with Tang Yuxiu.
His mental circuitry was truly not operating on the same frequency as hers. Don’t try guessing a man’s thoughts; you can’t guess them anyway.
Especially a peculiar man like Tang Yuxiu, you absolutely shouldn’t seriously engage, trying to engage seriously just makes you look foolish!
"Boss, wanna take a cold shower?" Gu Yan kindly suggested.
After a while, Tang Yuxiu’s gritted teeth voice came to her ears, "Shut up!"
Alright then, Gu Yan obediently shut her mouth; the boss was very irritable now, she needed to be sensible.
Gu Yan moved to the other side of the bed, showing through action that she wouldn’t provoke him anymore.
Young Master Tang felt his lower body had no intention of calming down, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the bathroom...
Gu Yan pursed her lips, stopping herself from laughing out loud; she feared too big a reaction would not only pull at her wound but also provoke Young Master Tang’s fury.
Now was definitely not the time to pull a tiger’s tail.
Gu Yan turned over, facing the window, zoned out for a bit, and soon felt a little sleepy.
Tang Yuxiu quickly came out, the heat of desire extinguished, lifted the blanket, lay down, his long arm suddenly stretching to pull Gu Yan over dominantly, holding her in his arms.
Gu Yan was already somewhat drowsy, yawned, "Stop messing around, I’m sleepy."
Young Master Tang snorted coldly, "Sleep as you like, I’m not touching you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and fell asleep on her own.
Young Master Tang lowered his head to look at her face, a glint flickered through his eyes, and he reached out to tuck her hair that had fallen in front of her face behind her ear.
The night was silent, breaths shallow.
The next day, You Shuyang brought breakfast as usual, and also lunch, Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu finished breakfast, then Tang Yuxiu was about to go to work.
"Stay at home obediently by yourself, don’t run around, you’ll scare people with your look."
Gu Yan pouted, "Why’s a big man so nagging, I know, today Xiang Lan will accompany me, no need for you to say more."
Knowing Xue Xianglan would come, Tang Yuxiu felt much relieved, nodded, "What do you want for dinner?"
"I’m not picky, I’ll eat whatever you bring back."
"Mm. I’m leaving."
"Go, go." Gu Yan waved her hand at him, even saw him off at the door, watching him get into the car.
You Shuyang suddenly felt that this scene was particularly like a wife sending her husband off to work?
After Tang Yuxiu and You Shuyang left, Gu Yan suddenly felt the entire villa was so quiet, without a bit of human warmth.
So she lay on the sofa and called Xue Xianglan, "Miss, when are you coming? I’m so bored alone."
"Did you call me right after Young Master Tang left?" Xue Xianglan asked directly.
Gu Yan chuckled, "Who knows me best, if not Xiang Lan."
"You heartless girl who values romance over friendship!"
"Heaven and earth can testify, I do love you!"
"Stop sweet-talking me, I’m not falling for it, did you have breakfast?"
"I did."
"Alright, I’ll come over later, you stay bored for a bit."
"Okay, awaiting the great arrival of Miss Xue!"
Gu Yan hung up the phone, her eyes twinkled, and she sent a message to Xiang Linghao, informing him that Xue Xianglan would come later, asking him to time his visit accordingly in the afternoon.
Xiang Linghao saw the message, his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of nervousness arose.
Gu Yan was not allowing him a bit of preparation, she abruptly gave him a path, if he didn’t take it, there wouldn’t possibly be another chance, if he did, who knows how it would develop.
Xiang Linghao was very anxious.
He was conflicted about whether to go or not.
The seven years missed had always been the biggest barrier between them, like a chasm separating them on opposite banks of a rushing torrent, taking a step forward risked being swallowed unawares.
However, he couldn’t stand the days without Xue Xianglan in his life; he thought he could forget over the years, but that was just what he thought.
Xiang Linghao spent the entire morning absent-minded.
Lixin Villa.
Xue Xianglan arrived an hour later, after a day’s interval looking at the injury on Gu Yan’s face, she still felt pained.
"How could you be so unlucky, running into a kidnapping?"
"I want to know too, I didn’t provoke anyone, how did I get kidnapped for no reason?" Gu Yan was puzzled, she obviously had a friendly face, yet someone deliberately targeted her and was so nasty!
"Be careful next time you go out, keep an eye open."
"I’ll be careful!" Gu Yan nodded seriously, after this incident, she’d probably have a mental shadow about going out alone.
Walking and getting kidnapped, she truly didn’t want to experience that a second time.
"Have you applied the medicine?" Xue Xianglan asked.
Gu Yan then remembered, "Not yet, I’ll go get the medicine."
Gu Yan ran to the TV cabinet to fetch the medicine, came back, and handed it to Xue Xianglan, "Help me apply it."
Xue Xianglan took it, opened the lid, a faint, cool fragrance wafted, "Are you sure this is medicine? Why does it have a fragrance?"
"It’s medicine, I’ve been using it these days, see how quickly the swelling on my face went down."
Xue Xianglan looked at her face, compared to the night she saw, it was indeed half better.
"It seems quite effective."
"Yes, I heard Tang Yuxiu say, this is Doctor Xiang’s exclusive concoction, it can’t even be bought outside."
Upon hearing Gu Yan mention Doctor Xiang, Xue Xianglan’s hand paused while applying, then she returned to her indifferent demeanor, "Mm, his medical skills should be impressive."
Even without seeing him in these seven years, she knew the achievements he had made in medicine, unparalleled by ordinary people.
He indeed was young and promising, outstanding.
Xue Xianglan once thought, had they insisted on staying together back then, would he not have such dazzling achievements today?
Sometimes, relationships can also be a constraint, perhaps past separations were only to make each other better, years later, able to stand openly alongside each other, with no one mocking or opposing, saying they weren’t a match for each other.
It’s just, she always felt that the current Xiang Linghao had grown timid...
When she put on an indifferent front uninterested in talking, he remained frozen on the spot, not daring to take a step forward.
