Chapter 137 You Just Like Tea Bitches
There was a knock on the door.
There was no response from inside.
Chi Shu then pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a beautiful glass tray.
She wore a perfectly timed smile, but her gaze first fell on Gu Lin. "Senior brother, I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I saw you were talking for so long, and I was worried that your wife was hungry, so I brought over some desserts."
Her voice was sweet and pleasant, and the tray was arranged exquisitely, with macarons, tiramisu, and matcha mousse, all small, delicate, and pleasing to the eye.
"I didn't know what kind of food my sister-in-law liked, so I picked a little bit of everything, hoping it would suit her taste."
Throughout the entire process, Chi Shu did not glance at Ye Tang even once.
But the things he said were very considerate.
Very thoughtful.
It just tastes like tea.
Gu Lin frowned almost imperceptibly. "Just put it there. Your sister-in-law and I have some things to discuss. You can go ahead and do your work."
Chi Shu gently placed the tray on the coffee table in front of Ye Tang.
Instead of leaving, she slumped down and sat down on the single sofa to the side.
"What? There's something I can't listen to?"
She drew out her words slightly, "I was involved in the initial data analysis and client communication for this project, so I'd say I was practically in charge, right? Do you really treat me like an outsider? This will make me very sad."
Gu Lin was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't make things too tense.
That's not what I meant.
Chi Shu looked at Gu Lin with a coquettish expression, "Then what does Senior Brother mean?"
Ye Tang, who had been silent until now, chuckled softly.
"Ms. Chi," Ye Tang began, her voice low but sharp, "how can you be so sure we're discussing a project?"
Chi Shu's smile froze.
Slightly embarrassed, she forced a smile and said, "Isn't that right?"
Ye Tang glanced at her slowly and deliberately: "Does discussing business always have to involve projects? What if it's just between my husband and me...something private and intimate to say? Do you think it's appropriate for you to sit there and listen and watch in that kind of situation?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
A faint blush rose to Chi Shu's cheeks.
"Sister-in-law, you're joking! I clearly heard everything outside. You were talking about the project..." Before she could finish, Chi Shu realized she had said something she shouldn't have and hurriedly explained, "No, no! I meant, I came over to deliver desserts, and when I got to the door, it just so happened... just so happened that a few words drifted over... I didn't mean to eavesdrop, really, I didn't."
The more you try to explain, the worse it gets; there's no silver buried here.
Ye Tang didn't reply, her posture scrutinizing.
His rough gaze swept across Chi Shu's face, silently watching her.
In just a few seconds, Chi Shu felt as if she had been roasted over a fire for hours.
Ye Tang's eyes clearly showed that she was eavesdropping.
If she stays here any longer, she'll be utterly shameless.
"Well...you guys talk first." Her voice was dry. "I...I'll come over and talk to my senior about the project later, after you're done talking."
Her steps were a little unsteady, but she made sure to close the door gently behind her.
Ye Tang looked away.
She asked Gu Lin, "Is your junior sister always this taciturn?"
"She's not usually like this." Gu Lin thought Chi Shu was usually quite normal.
These words immediately angered Ye Tang. "What is she usually like? Is it normal for her to wink at you intentionally or unintentionally when she talks? Is it normal for her to touch you inappropriately? Gu Lin, I think you're sick, seriously sick."
Gu Lin looked miserable: ...
"No way!"
"How can it be gone? I saw it with my own eyes when I arrived, and you still dare to say it's gone?" Ye Tang was so angry she wanted to punch someone. "I think you're just used to her, used to her way of getting along, that's why you think it's normal. You just like tea bitches, shameless."
Ye Tang was furious.
I don't want to stay here any longer.
Gu Lin quickly reached out and grabbed her. "Is it really that bad? Why are you so angry? Let her be. There's nothing between us. I have no feelings for her. If I could fall for just any woman, why would I have waited ten years for you?"
These words softened Ye Tang's expression somewhat.
She softened her tone, "That's true, but people's hearts change, just like Wang Penh..."
"Can he compare to me? He didn't love my sister when he married her; it was all an act. Now that my sister has filed for divorce, he's showing his true colors, suppressing me and the Gu family. This kind of person doesn't deserve to be called a man."
"That's true." Ye Tang chuckled. "You know, these past few days, whenever I have a spare moment, I report Wang Bin's group for tax evasion. Whether he actually did it or not, it's enough to keep him busy."
I wonder how Gu Rou is feeling lately.
"I heard my cousin has been going to my sister's place a lot lately. Do you think they... might rekindle their old flame?"
Gu Lin believes that it is unlikely at this stage. "Your sister is currently in the midst of divorce proceedings, but she is not officially divorced yet. She probably is not in the mood to rekindle her old flame with your cousin."
Ye Tang: ...
can you?
Right now, isn't she just in need of a reliable man to comfort her soul?
"I think..."
……
at this time.
At Gu Rou's home.
Cheng Yingnan pinned Gu Rou down and made love to her fiercely.
Once isn't enough, do it twice.
He wanted to take precautions, but she wouldn't allow it. "I want to have a child."
"Are you really... sure?" Cheng Yingnan was somewhat moved. If they hadn't broken up back then, their child would probably be in elementary school now. "Rou Rou, do you really want to have a child for me? No, do we really want to have a child?"
When Gu Rou was dating Cheng Yingnan.
I am not a staunch DINK (Double Income No Kids) advocate.
She only had no intention of having children because she married Wang Bin.
"Perhaps, I just want to give myself an explanation."
Gu Rou knew that now was not the time.
But she just wanted to get this done. "Yingnan, I don't actually need you to take responsibility for me. Don't feel guilty."
"But I want to take responsibility. No, even without children, I still want to... marry you, Rou Rou. The day we broke up, I wanted to propose to you, but you didn't listen to my explanation..."
They missed it.
If you miss this opportunity, it will be a decade.
"...Wan Jingjing and I really didn't have anything going on. You know that now. That day was just a coincidence. I know you were angry at the time, so...that's why you married Wang Bin, right?"
Ten years ago.
Gu Rou couldn't remember very clearly anymore.
Even now.
She couldn't quite remember what love felt like anymore.
But Cheng Yingnan remained unchanged.
He was still shy, nervous, and cautious when facing her.
"Ying Nan, will you despise me? Despise me for being Wang Bin's wife for ten years?" she asked.
Cheng Yingnan gently kissed her forehead. "If I could, I wouldn't have come back to help you with this divorce case, and I certainly wouldn't be lying in the same bed with you like this. You know what? For the past ten years, I've fantasized every day that you would call me. To put it bluntly, I've hoped every day that you and Wang Bin would get a divorce."
Finally, what he had been waiting for came to pass.
The opportunity had come, how could he let it slip away again?
"Rou Rou, once you get your divorce certificate, we'll get married right away. I've achieved some success in my career abroad, and I can take good care of you and the children."
Cheng Yingnan is very sincere.
Gu Rou was a little touched. "Ying Nan, you really haven't changed at all."
