Chapter 7
Shen Tang did not wait for him to speak, took out a thin quilt from the cabinet, and neatly lay down on the sofa.
"You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the sofa. Don't worry, I sleep very honestly, I won't make any noise, I absolutely won't disturb you."
"No need, you can sleep on the bed."
With that said, Gu Huaian opened his laptop and continued working.
Shen Tang didn't take his words seriously. Anyway, the sofa was big and soft, very comfortable.
However, do tycoons always work this hard?
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock at the door. Shen Tang ran over barefoot and opened the door.
"Uncle He?" The visitor was the steward of the old house, also surnamed He, and was the brother of Uncle He from the villa.
This Uncle He was not talkative. He handed over a bag, "This is what the mistress ordered, young mistress keep it safe."
Just by looking at the package, she couldn't tell what was inside. Shen Tang guessed it might be some kind of greeting gift, and smiled as she took it.
"I won't disturb your rest then."
After Uncle He left, Shen Tang sat on the sofa holding the bag, feeling great. She had just opened the package and her face dropped immediately.
[Gasp!]
[Phew! Are people from wealthy families so open about this? They actually sent over one, two, three, four, five boxes! ]
[This is practically murder, good thing this is a fake marriage.]
Shen Tang stroked her chin and glanced at Gu Huaian: [I heard that tycoons do it seven times a night, I wonder if sugar daddy can keep up.]
Gu Huaian, who was working, stiffened, and a faint blush quickly appeared on the tips of his ears.
Seeing this, Shen Tang thoughtfully lowered the air conditioner temperature.
She casually threw the bag aside, opened King of Glory on her phone, strangely, her gaming partner was not online. Who's going to shout 666 for her?
Because her gaming partner's ID was Sweet Little Kitten, Shen Tang always called her Meow Meow.
[Meow Meow, how come you're not online today?]
The other party's WeChat turned to "Typing...", and after a long time she finally received a long message.
[Wahhh, sister monkey, the CP I shipped got together! My brother actually brought home a woman inferior to my goddess in every way. That woman has nothing except her face. I saw clearly how much my brother liked the goddess, he even promised to marry her when she gets back. I really cannot accept this result now. Although I know he doesn't have feelings for the current woman, he's already tainted, even if my goddess comes back, he wouldn't be good enough for her anymore, wahhh... Why do men's hearts change so quickly...]
Hearing this juicy gossip, Shen Tang immediately became spirited.
The plot seemed a bit familiar? But that's not important!
Shen Tang sat up abruptly and started tapping away at her phone.
[Ah this... I feel that your brother is the real scumbag who has let down two girls! ]
The more the two chatted, the more heated the discussion became. In the end, they cursed the scumbag together.
It wasn't until the alarm rang that Shen Tang realized it was already 11pm, time to sleep.
But she was not sleepy at all, she even felt energetic enough to do a round of calisthenics.
Looking up, she saw her cheap husband was still working.
Is he a robot?
Doesn't he get tired?
Shen Tang thought for a while, slipped on her slippers and went downstairs to make a glass of milk.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, a hand took the milk away and finished it in one go, even slowly licking the milk stain from the corner of his mouth.
"Thanks sister-in-law, how did you know I was thirsty?"
Shen Tang: "......"
"Could it be this was prepared for my brother? Sister-in-law, don't you know my brother only drinks coffee not milk?"
Shen Tang nervously curled her fingers a few times, keeping a straight face as she said: "Who said that, this was for me to drink."
"Oh~ I see..."
Shen Tang always felt his gaze was up to no good. She made another glass of milk.
Going upstairs, she could still feel that hot gaze sticking to her, it made her break out in goosebumps.
Back in the room, she put the milk on the table, then let out a deep sigh in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Gu Huaian looked up and pushed up the frameless glasses on his nose bridge.
Shen Tang looked at him resentfully.
"Nothing."
[Should I say your brother seems to be seducing me?]
[If I say he likes me that would definitely be impossible. There must be some grand scheme, tsk tsk, this rascal is too evil!]
[Two hundred million, two hundred million, two hundred million, two hundred million! Heh heh, no one can stop me from making money!]
Gu Huaian: "......"
Money-grubber!
Ever since discovering that he could hear Shen Tang's inner voice, Gu Huaian had been doubting life all the time.
He even started to wonder, did he really transmigrate? Were the events in his past life real? Otherwise how could a person change so much?
He lowered his eyes, concealing the fleeting deep thoughts in them.
After only spending one night at the old Gu residence, the two left early in the morning the next day.
Since it was so early, there weren't many people around.
But Lady Gu had arranged for people to prepare piles of big and small gifts beforehand, which made Shen Tang feel a little bad.
After all, she wasn't really married.
But when she thought about giving away the things she obtained, she was somewhat reluctant.
Shen Tang clutched her chest, feeling so pained she could almost cry.
Gu Huaian glanced at her. Pathetic.
"What's given to you is yours, just keep it."
Shen Tang was overjoyed, "Really?"
"Yes."
"Hee hee, thank you sugar daddy!"
Gu Huaian: "......" What kind of address is sugar daddy?
As expected of a tycoon, so generous!
Shen Tang felt great inside, and started calculating how much money these could sell for.
But her good mood didn't last long. Before they even got home, she received a call from her agent Wang Brother - there was work.
This time the job was to promote merchandise with a famous influencer.
Although she was a celebrity with high popularity, her reputation was too poor that she basically couldn't get any good jobs, and could only rely on hype.
However, the more hype, the more people disliked her, forming a vicious cycle.
Shen Tang really wanted to reject it.
She remembered there was something like this in the original book. Because she over-praised the products as arranged by the company, people received fruits of poor quality, especially durian. The prices were already high yet many were duds. She was also scolded badly because of this.
Rejecting was out of the question. The other side was offering too much, the company wouldn't let her reject it.
Also, maybe she could take this chance to warn the buyers.
"Um... could you send me to the company?"
"Okay."
Only after Gu Huaian spoke did the driver make a U-turn.
Shen Tang opened her phone to look at the information Wang Brother sent. The theme of this livestream promotion was to help farmers, to help them sell their unsold agricultural products.
The intention was good, but the middlemen were too scammy.
Thinking of the content described in the book, Shen Tang decided to say and do less during this livestream, and try to be just a background.
However, she did not notice the expression of the person beside her gradually becoming serious.
Gu Huaian's gaze subtly fell on Shen Tang, looking calm and composed on the surface, but actually huge waves werebeing kicked up in his mind.
What did she just think?
What does she mean by described in the book?
The answer was right in front of him, just a light touch and he would know. But Gu Huaian didn't even dare to think further.
It wasn't until the driver spoke that Gu Huaian came back to his senses.
Only then did he realize Shen Tang had already gotten out of the car, and he had arrived at the company too.
He reined in his mind, pinched his brow, then strode into the company with large steps.
No matter what the truth was, work still had to be done.
That's right, even a tycoon can't do whatever he wants whenever he wants.
