Chapter 456: I Find Myself Quite Precious
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Zui had already fallen asleep. Gu Mian carefully moved his hand which was placed on her lower abdomen before she rose and went to the bathroom. After she entered the bathroom, she curled up in the bathtub, and her entire frame shook. She had no choice but to forcefully cover her mouth to stop herself from making any sound.
The following day, Tang Zui had an immense headache when he woke up. He reached out to his side but he did not feel Gu Mian next to him. He opened his eyes and sat up abruptly when he saw that the big bed was empty.
Almost immediately, he flipped his blanket away and got down from the bed. Just as he was about to look for clothes to wear, the bedroom door was opened. Gu Mian walked in with a gla.s.s of tea. Gu Mian was frightened by Tang Zui’s fierce demeanour, and she stared nervously at him.
Tang Zui froze for a moment when he looked at the young woman who had just walked in, and he furrowed his brows immediately after. Although Gu Mian was really nervous, she still tried her best to calm herself down and said, “I made you tea for your hangover. You drank yesterday, so you’re probably having a headache today.”
Tang Zui walked toward her and Gu Mian subconsciously wanted to back away from him. But she still forced herself to stop in her tracks.
Gu Mian lowered her head, and from where Tang Zui was standing, he could see her elegant neck which was completely covered with love bites of various shades.
“I thought you’d leave.” Tang Zui thought that she would have run away because she could not endure such humiliation.
“I have already signed an agreement with you, so I won’t leave.” Gu Mian said in a low voice and brought the tea before him, “This tea is quite nouris.h.i.+ng. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Tang Zui did not take the cup. Just as Gu Mian was about to withdraw her hand because she thought that he did not want the tea, he suddenly took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He returned the cup to her after he finished drinking and entered the bathroom.
Gu Mian finally let out a breath of relief.
Gu Mian had already made breakfast when Tang Zui walked out of the bedroom. For some reason, Tang Zui felt rather agitated as he looked at Gu Mian who was wearing an ap.r.o.n and standing obediently before him.
“Food is ready,” Gu Mian said.
Tang Zui walked to the dining hall and sat down. Gu Mian also took off her ap.r.o.n and took a seat.
When Tang Zui saw how meek Gu Mian looked, he suddenly sneered, “Gu Mian, I realized that you’re seriously a cheap and lowly person! You didn’t even leave after I treated you like that!”
Gu Mian’s hands started to tremble. In the end, she failed to hold her tears back, and droplets of tears trickled out of her eyes into the bowl of soup before her. “I don’t think that I’m cheap and lowly. I find myself quite precious.”
Tang Zui looked at her as tears streamed down her face, and in that very moment, he felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a daggert. He picked up the bowl in irritation and finished the soup before he got up and left.
Gu Mian only dared to raise her head after Tang Zui left. She covered her mouth with her hand and started crying.
Actually. Tang Zui was right. She was truly a sl*t. But what else could she do? She could not just stand idly by as other people threatened to kill her brother. She could not just do nothing and watch her family members become homeless.

In the end, Su Qianxun fell asleep. She was alone in the bedroom when she woke up. She turned and saw a puddle of blood on the sheets beside her, and she furrowed her eyebrows. This was Long Sijue’s blood…
The butler told Su Qianxun that Long Sijue had already gone to work when she went downstairs. She asked the butler if he knew that Long Sijue was injured, but the butler said he was unaware of that.
Su Qianxun was very worried about Long Sijue. However, she was worried Long Sijue would just feel that she was thinking too highly of herself to even believe that she had the right to be concerned about her.
After hesitating for a while, she still gave Tang Zui a phone call.
“Hey, chick, are you missing me?” As usual, Tang Zui’s voice was frivolous.
Su Qianxun was speechless.
“Why? Did something between you and Jue again?” Tang Zui went straight to the point.
“Ah Jue…. No, it seems like the young master is injured. Can you please go and check on him… Don’t tell him that I’m the one who told you this.” Su Qianxun immediately hung up after she finished speaking.
