Chapter 011: Lifelong Affair
The next morning.
"Xiaoqiao, it's Hannian's birthday this weekend, want to go back together?"
Gong Xiaoqiao was stunned, then continued eating her breakfast, "Her birthday seems to have nothing to do with me!"
"Don't be so hard, I think you wouldn't want Grandpa to be in a difficult position."
"Grandpa said I don't have to deliberately please the people of the Gong family." Gong Xiaoqiao said proudly, Grandpa cherished her the most!
"Do you really have to be this way?" Gu Hangshen did not look too pleased.
Of course, she knew that the person who was really in a difficult position was actually him.
Gong Xiaoqiao lifted her head and smiled ingratiatingly, "I'm not going not because I have any prejudice against your future wife; it's because I have something to do this weekend."
Upon hearing this reference to "future wife", Gu Hangshen's brows knitted imperceptibly, "Really? What is it?"
"My private matter! Don't ask so much, it's very, very important. I'll have the gift prepared, you just bring it there for me. I've finished eating, I'm off to school now! Bye~"
For some reason, her smile seemed incredibly irritating to him.
It appeared that she was gradually learning to disguise herself from him.
She could smile so radiantly at him even though she was clearly not happy.
She could effortlessly play along even though she was clearly impatient.
...
In the conference room within the Gu Corporation building, Shen Letian's moans could be occasionally heard.
"No way! That case is not only troublesome but also unprofitable... Boss, you are too cruel to me..."
The usually lively Tang Yu was now sprawled listlessly over the table, completely motionless, exuding an air of defeat.
Shen Letian lobbed a paper ball at him, "Hey! Number Five, what's with the gloominess? It's me who's getting penalized, not you, so there's no need for so much empathy."
The normally argumentative Tang Yu turned his head away, ignoring him completely.
Even Gu Hangshen couldn't help but glance over.
At that moment, Tang Yu's phone rang. Whatever the person on the other end said, Tang Yu's face lit up with the joy of spring, revived and blooming.
"What? You agreed? You really agreed? You're the angel sent by heaven to save me!"
"Then it's settled, Saturday night at eight, Left Bank Café..."
Shen Letian made a puking gesture, "Blah, angel... Who is it? Are you so happy because Leng Tou's sister has accepted you?"
Leng Tou glanced at Tang Yu and said calmly, "Impossible."
Tang Yu was not in the least bit bothered, his gloom instantly swept away, his smile blossoming brightly, "Oh yeah! By the way, boss, I probably can't make it to Gong Hannian's birthday this weekend, but I'll definitely send a gift."
"What's more important than your sister-in-law's birthday?" Sheng Yu asked curiously.
Tang Yu replied gravely and seriously, "A matter of a lifetime."
"Hello, Auntie." Gong Xiaoqiao was dressed in a beige dress; her long, black hair fell neatly behind her, and her hands were awkwardly folded over her stomach. She appeared obedient and fragile.
"Hmm, hello." Tang's mother looked her up and down, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes - she wasn't like those flashy women.
Tang Yu, who had just been verbally and physically assaulted by the fierce little girl, found it hard to accept that she had suddenly become so gentle and well-behaved.
But right now, no one cared about his feelings; Tang's mother was focused on getting to know the girlfriend her son had brought home for the first time.
"When did you meet our Tang Yu?"
"Tang Yu and Leng Tou are brothers, and I'm good friends with Leng Jing, Leng Tou's sister. We met while hanging out together."
