Chapter 535: Have You Really Been Sleeping Separately?
Tang Yan smiled casually. “Professor, I’ll be counting on you in the future.”
“Certainly.” The professor returned his smile.
After that, Tang Yan crossed his arms on his chest and glanced at Feng Shanshan before leaving the forensic laboratory.
The professor glanced at Feng Shanshan. He couldn’t help but laugh. “How was it? Didn’t I tell you he’s handsome?”
Feng Shanshan’s face was red. It was not because of a man that she blushed, but because she was caught red-handed for doing bad things. She was embarra.s.sed.
“That person is not a gentleman at all. He didn’t even know how to knock.”
“That boy should be 185cm tall. He is tall and handsome, and strong. Did you see his arms? It’s all muscles. He is hot, Shanshan.”
“He is Mu Qiqi’s type.”
“Don’t make Qiqi your s.h.i.+eld. Qiqi already has the strongest. How will she fall for another man? Instead, you should be thinking about your future.”
Feng Shanshan did not say much. She lowered her head and continued her tasks. That man did not seem like someone with a high EQ. He was not the kind of man who would obey a woman. Otherwise, he would not have made such a mocking remark to embarra.s.s her. What a poisonous tongue.
“No matter how hard a man is, he will soften when he meets the woman he loves.”
Feng Shanshan sulked.
Late at night, when she took a cab home, she saw Tang Yan again. To prevent getting into an awkward situation, she hid behind the gla.s.s. After a while, she saw him leave on a motorbike.
‘That is just so cool!’
But of course, Feng Shanshan would not admit that she was attracted to that man.
…
In Lu Mansion, when Lu Qianqian got home, Lin Mu’an was already back at the police academy.
Seeing her coming home late, Mama Lu asked if anything bad happened.
Lu Qianqian sat on the sofa and answered. “Mu’an’s prediction is right. Youngest Uncle really wanted to spread the news. But our people managed to stop him just in time. I have set up a general meeting with the shareholders. It’s time to clear the weeds.”
“You have worked so hard, my child.” Mama Lu took a parcel from the table. “This is for you. I don’t know who sent this.”
“Mommy, aren’t you scared that it might be a bomb or something?”
“It’s not as dangerous as you think.” Mama Lu laughed. “It should be some sort of cosmetics product from someone.”
Lu Qianqian opened the box. It was indeed a set of luxurious cosmetics products. Then, she read the card. “Thank you for the last time.”
The last time?
Realization suddenly hit her. “I know who sent this.”
“Who?”
“Mu’an’s aunt. Qiqi and I saved her a few days ago,” Lu Qianqian answered. “I didn’t expect her to be someone who knows how to show grat.i.tude.”
“Maybe it’s an arrangement by G.o.d. You are fated to form a good relations.h.i.+p with the Lin family.” Mama Lu walked to the dining table. “Let’s dig in. Mu’an has been reminding me to make sure you have your meals on time. You can’t make me break my promise.”
“Okay, Mommy.”
…
The atmosphere in the Sheng family’s dining room was rather intense. Gu Ziling’s eyes were red and teary. Perhaps she was too overwhelmed. Hu Ran was getting ready to meet the famous paparazzi, so she was too busy to respond to her. However, before the dinner was over, Gu Ziling suddenly asked Third Brother, “I heard the servant saying that there is always a blanket on the sofa and another on the bed in your room. Have you two been sleeping separately?”
Sheng Bowen was startled. He shook his head. “No, we haven’t.”
“Great then. I thought you are faking your relations.h.i.+p or upsetting Sister-in-law for some reason.” Gu Ziling acted like a busybody sister-in-law who cared about them.
“You should take care of your own self first, Second Sister-in-law,” Hu Ran said coldly.
“Indeed. The Gu family is going bankrupt soon. I don’t seem to have the right to take care of you now.”
“That’s it. Your sister-in-law just cares about you. You don’t have to turn it into a quarrel every time, do you?” Sheng Kai asked. “I know Third Sister-in-law hates Ziling. But since it is all in the past, you should learn to look forward. Let bygones be bygones. Let’s eat.”
Hu Ran rolled her eyes. This couple liked acting so much every day. Gu Ziling was as good as her father in that area. She could be very arrogant one day and be very kind to you the next. You could not even follow her steps.
After dinner, the family went out for a walk. However, Hu Ran stopped Gu Ziling halfway and asked, “What trick are you playing this time?”
“Why would I? I just thought that you are not sleeping with Third Brother and so I asked. I’m just concerned.”
“Are you really that kind?” Hu Ran would not believe her nonsense.
“Speaking of which, have you really been sleeping separately? You know what I mean.”
Hu Ran glared at Gu Ziling and walked away. “It’s none of your business.”
“I made a promise with Sheng Kai to be a contract couple at first. But in the end, we fell for each other. Thinking back on this, you shouldn’t have such a problem with Third Brother. You two have no experience in love. But… with your condition in the past, who would be interested in you?” Having said that, Gu Ziling left smirking, leaving behind Hu Ran standing on the pavement, not knowing what to do.
It’s true that she and Third Brother were not a real couple.
But this matter must remain a secret to other people, especially Grandpa. Otherwise, he would think that they were acting in order to wait for the right moment to attack. After all, Third Brother had indeed been in a worrying position before marrying her. It was because of this marriage that he regained his grandfather’s trust.
Third Brother was summoned to the study by Grandpa Sheng because of this.
“Was what your sister-in-law said just now true?”
“What is it?” Third Brother pretended not to understand.
“Sleeping separately. What are you two doing? You are married. What else do you want?”
“Grandpa, we got married after a few meetings. We don’t have a strong relations.h.i.+p yet, so we want to give each other some time.”
“Nonsense. Do you really want me to urge you on such things? Make a baby as soon as possible. Stop all your nonsense.” Grandpa Sheng shouted angrily. “I can’t count on Second Brother for this anymore. I can only count on you. You must do it tonight. Stop being unreasonable!”
Third Brother was puzzled by his grandfather’s words. Why couldn’t he count on Sheng Kai?
Besides, what age was it now? How could he force the young people to have s.e.x?
Actually, Gu Ziling deliberately mentioned this in front of Grandpa Sheng. She knew Grandpa Sheng was scared that Third Brother might cause him trouble. If he divorced her, the Sheng family would lose another good backer again.
