Chapter 433: Embarrassed
Tang Chuxia turned around and saw Gu Beihuai leaning against the doorway, her senses numbed.
Originally, she had said it was for Dangdang, but Gu Beihuai ended up seeing her dressed up in it.
She hurriedly said, "Can you erase that image from your mind? This isn’t mine!"
Gu Beihuai laughed.
"What? Are you shy?"
Tang Chuxia immediately waved her hands, "What nonsense, why would I be shy? This was designed based on Dangdang’s height and looks, it really doesn’t suit my style. Don’t you feel it’s somewhat mismatched?"
While Gu Beihuai was about to speak, licorice left, making space for them.
Tang Chuxia even clung to Gu Beihuai in her attempt to explain.
Gu Beihuai knew Tang Chuxia had no reason to lie to him.
"Then you should change out of it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and might do something to you!"
After Gu Beihuai reminded her, Tang Chuxia rolled her eyes at him.
"Got it!"
Gu Beihuai watched as Tang Chuxia swiftly changed out of the clothes without any hesitation, but her overly thick makeup was hard to ignore.
"Very pretty!" Gu Beihuai touched Tang Chuxia’s lips with his finger.
The bold color on Tang Chuxia enhanced her already fair skin, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
Gu Beihuai couldn’t help but covet a taste, so naturally, he went straight for her lips.
The intense color smudged and eventually even tinted Gu Beihuai’s lips before he could stop. He subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth and, seeing the color on the back of his hand, started to smile.
"Looks pretty good, you should wear it every day!"
Tang Chuxia took out a handkerchief to wipe the color from the corner of her mouth and glanced at Gu Beihuai, "Did you run off early in the morning just to come back and eat all my lipstick?"
Gu Beihuai shrugged, "Well, Old Wu is going to propose, and the house isn’t well prepared. The guys and I are trying to help out. He also needs to redo the house and figure out how to furnish it!"
Brothers getting married definitely needed their help.
Tang Chuxia thought about how she was also helping design Dangdang’s wedding dress and nodded her head.
"By the way, is there any conclusion on the infectious disease situation?"
Tang Chuxia knew she wasn’t much help with the wedding preparations, so she might as well focus on what she could keep an eye on.
Gu Beihuai nodded, "It’s man-made, suspected to be the work of the little devils. The security teams have been arresting people. Recently, a lot of people are having a hard time!"
Gu Beihuai was clear about it and didn’t hide it from Tang Chuxia.
"So, what’s your situation?" Tang Chuxia didn’t believe Gu Beihuai was fully retired. She always felt he was still busy with national affairs; a mere security company wouldn’t keep him so busy.
Gu Beihuai smiled, "What? Are you worried about me?"
Tang Chuxia hung up the clothes and nodded, "If something happens to you, I’d have to find someone new, which would be such a hassle.
Gu Beihuai: ...
Did this woman really care so little about him?
It seemed difficult to hold any substantial place in Tang Chuxia’s heart.
While they were talking, Tang Chuxia heard some noise in the yard. She looked out and saw no one, guessing it might be from the neighboring yard. She pulled Gu Beihuai out to enjoy the spectacle.
It turned out to be Gu Nanzhi secretly meeting with her little cousin, and they were accidentally caught by Mrs. Gu. This indeed created a bizarre scene.
Gu Nanzhi saw Tang Chuxia appear and immediately her eyes shone brightly as she made a pleading gesture towards her. Although Tang Chuxia didn’t know what had happened, one was her best friend and the other was her dear cousin, so she felt compelled to intervene.
"What’s wrong?"
Tang Chuxia took Mrs. Gu’s arm.
Mrs. Gu pointed at Gu Nanzhi and Zheng Duoqing.
"Ask them both!"
Tang Chuxia looked towards Gu Nanzhi. Gu Nanzhi exclaimed, "Mom, you can see what’s going on, why ask? Just say if it’s okay or not. If it’s not, I’ll find someone else!"
Mrs. Gu was so angry she nearly hit her.
"How can you talk like that? Is finding a partner like picking cabbages? Just randomly switch?"
Mrs. Gu patted Tang Chuxia’s back of the hand, "Xiaxia, listen to this, does it sound reasonable?"
Tang Chuxia felt somewhat guilty, rubbing her nose. She had just said something similar to Beihuai, but in front of the elders, one shouldn’t speak so carelessly.
"Aunt Hong, calm down. Besides, Zhizhi and my little cousin know each other very well. If they dare to date, they are mentally prepared. If you have any concerns, just go and talk to my aunt directly, let her handle my little cousin!"
Mrs. Gu laughed, knowing that Tang Chuxia was a sly one.
Zheng Duoqing was on the verge of tears, having seen people betray their brothers, but selling one’s own brother like this was rare, right?
Mrs. Gu wasn’t really angry in the first place, just annoyed that they didn’t keep things a bit more private. She had just seen them kissing at the doorway.
Embarrassing!
Mrs. Gu didn’t oppose Gu Nanzhi dating Zheng Duoqing, but she demanded, "You need to sort out all the other girls around you. You can’t let our Zhizhi be mistreated!"
Zheng Duoqing was frightened, quickly pulling Tang Chuxia out to testify, "Aunt Hong, I really haven’t messed around with other women. My face might easily give people the wrong idea, but I’ve never done anything wrong. Even if I wanted to, my parents would break my legs!"
Tang Chuxia nodded, "Aunt Hong, he really wouldn’t dare. Mainly because my grandma hates unfaithful men the most. I can’t say whether others would break my cousin’s legs, but my grandma will definitely be the one to cut off his third leg!"
Mrs. Gu: ...
There was no need to be so brutal.
She was aware of the reputation of that Old Lady from the Zheng Family.
Zheng Duoqing felt a chill down his spine, his grandmother’s fierceness was well-known.
Gu Nanzhi was ecstatic; she knew the person she chose couldn’t be wrong, at least his family was upright.
Mrs. Gu sent them all away, she had just come home to pick up some things and needed to return to the hospital.
As they left the house, she said to Tang Chuxia, "The head of Orthopedics has been talking about you. If you have time, go and visit!"
Tang Chuxia said there was no problem.
She had indeed formed a strong bond with the Orthopedics department during her time helping at the hospital, so their invitation was only natural.
"They’ve got some new doctors in Orthopedics. The head said your skill in amputating arms and legs is the best, he’d feel most assured with you handling it!"
Mrs. Gu explained, making Tang Chuxia feel that her earlier happiness had disappeared.
The head wasn’t missing her, but her brutal skills?
That wasn’t nice.
She grabbed Gu Nanzhi’s arm and asked, "Zhizhi, how can you let such a delicate girl like me do such brutal things?"
Gu Nanzhi dropped Tang Chuxia’s hand from her arm.
"Sister, when you talk about being delicate, first kick the broken stones beneath your feet a bit further away!"
