Chapter 13 Vinegar Is Not To Be Taken Lightly_1

Even though Gu Yi'an didn't know Tan Jincheng well, she had to admit that this Young Emperor, who ruled S City with an iron fist, was absolutely at a god-like level.

On the other hand, Gu Yi'an was just a small-time doctor, albeit a pretty one. When it came to other aspects, the gap between her and Tan Jincheng was massive. Moreover, her beauty might be rare for ordinary people, but for this Young Emperor, the one thing he wasn't lacking was pretty women.

So, when Tan Jincheng, this god-like figure, seriously told her he was jealous, Gu Yi'an's feelings were...

She had an impulse to pinch Tan Jincheng's face to see if he was the real Young Master Tan or a fake one!

Just then, Gu Yi'an's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and answered.

"Sisi, are you here yet? I'll come down to get you." Gu Yi'an's tone was very relaxed.

"Don't mention it, I got pulled into a last-minute party, and I can't escape. Sorry, Anan, I'll see if I can find time to meet you for a meal tomorrow. I really can't talk right now; they're calling me again, it's driving me nuts." Jing Si's tone was full of frustration.

"Okay, then you go do your thing. Be safe."

After hanging up, Gu Yi'an felt a bit helpless. Those celebrities looked glamorous, but through Jing Si, she realized their private lives were also quite pitiful.

"A girl?" Tan Jincheng raised an eyebrow.

Gu Yi'an was a bit speechless but still nodded, "Yeah, my best friend. We haven't seen each other in a while and were supposed to have dinner tonight, but she got caught up with something last minute."

Tan Jincheng hummed, "I'm hungry, let's start eating."

Gu Yi'an still felt a bit awkward being together with him.

Knowing that Jing Si liked spicy food, she had ordered super spicy sauerkraut fish. The dishes were already served, and it was too late to change them. Other dishes, like chopped pepper fish head, were also spicy.

Looking at the table full of red, spicy dishes, Tan Jincheng's expression was unusually colorful.

"I can order something else for you," Gu Yi'an said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"No need."

The meal was quite silent.

Gu Yi'an occasionally stole glances at Tan Jincheng, watching him take a bite and then drink water with a complicated expression, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Who would have imagined that the cold and distant Young Emperor Tan Jincheng could be so... cute in private.

Uh, men probably don't like being described as cute, but looking at Tan Jincheng, Gu Yi'an truly found him adorable.

"I know I'm very good-looking, but you don't need to stare at me. Eat," Tan Jincheng's voice was icy.

Gu Yi'an's face instantly turned bright red.

Getting caught peeking was not a pleasant feeling.

Neither of them ate much during the meal. When they left, Tan Jincheng took out a black card, different from regular membership cards, and handed it to Gu Yi'an.

Gu Yi'an was a bit puzzled.

Tan Jincheng pushed the black card into Gu Yi'an's hand, "This is for Linjiang Pavilion shareholders only. Next time you come, just bring this card."

"No need," Gu Yi'an refused.

But a gift from Young Master Tan wasn't something you could just decline.

In the end, Gu Yi'an reluctantly took the card and put it in her bag.

"I'll head back first," Gu Yi'an said, feeling quite awkward.

Tan Jincheng glanced at her, "Get in the car."

"..." Gu Yi'an hesitated.

Tan Jincheng stopped, looking at her with a half-smile, "Want me to carry you?"

Knowing his reckless nature, Gu Yi'an quickly got into the car.

Seeing Tan Jincheng raise the divider in the car again, Gu Yi'an felt a sense of crisis, unconsciously moving to the side, her body in a defensive posture.

Seeing her like this, Tan Jincheng couldn't help but laugh, "Gu Yi'an, don't be self-centered, I wasn't planning on kissing you."

"You—" Gu Yi'an glared at Tan Jincheng, his thick skin was unbelievable.

"Are you... dissatisfied?" Tan Jincheng squinted, "Alright, as you wish."

He then reached out, pulled Gu Yi'an into his arms, and kissed her.

Gu Yi'an hadn't expected him to be so shameless.

The kiss was brief, so short it caught Gu Yi'an by surprise. She didn't even have time to resist before Tan Jincheng had let her go.

Seeing her shocked expression, Tan Jincheng couldn't help but laugh, "What, didn't get enough?"

"Tan Jincheng!" Gu Yi'an was furious.

"I can hear you."

"You— we only got a certificate!" Gu Yi'an gritted her teeth.

Tan Jincheng nodded, "A marriage certificate."

"Don't forget what you promised me before!" Gu Yi'an was angry.

"Mrs. Tan, I think we really need to have a talk."

"There's nothing to talk about," Gu Yi'an's face turned cold.

Tan Jincheng chuckled softly, saying no more.

After sulking for a while, Gu Yi'an suddenly felt something was off, quickly looking outside the window, then back at Tan Jincheng, "Where is this car going?!"

"Our home."

"What home? I'm going back to my apartment," Gu Yi'an gritted her teeth.

"Mrs. Tan, we need to communicate. Besides, after getting married, we should live together. Do you think the Gu Family will stop bothering you if they know we're living separately?" Tan Jincheng smiled faintly.

Gu Yi'an stiffened slightly, gave Tan Jincheng a cold look, and said nothing.

The car stopped at the entrance of a high-end apartment complex.

Even if people from S City hadn't been to Shenghua Residential Complex, they would have heard of it. This place was a high-end complex where every inch of land was worth gold, with excellent privacy. Many celebrities and notable people chose to live here. Of course, the prices here were steep, beyond reach for ordinary people.

The car drove smoothly into Shenghua Residential Complex, parking in the garage.

The elevators here were different from other places; you needed fingerprint verification to use them. Each floor's residents would register their fingerprints, and the elevator would only take them to their corresponding floor, not stopping at any other floors.

Tan Jincheng registered Gu Yi'an's fingerprint, allowing her to access the building even without his presence next time.

The elevator stopped on the tenth floor, and upon stepping out, the exit was directly on the left.

There was only one unit on the left side.

While each floor did have two units, left and right, fingerprint verification in the elevator determined which side to open on, ensuring residents wouldn't run into each other.

Entering the unit also required fingerprint verification.

Tan Jincheng registered Gu Yi'an's fingerprint once more, setting the permissions.

"From now on, this will be our home," Tan Jincheng said nonchalantly.

Gu Yi'an walked in with her head down, lips tightly pursed.
