Chapter 477: Little Puppy
Who has the strongest ability to get jealous in the household?
Surely someone would say Gu Beihuai.
After Gu Beihuai guzzled down the water in the cup in one go, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"I’ll check the temperature for you!"
After saying this, even Gu Beihuai didn’t believe himself.
The puppy-eyed younger brother beside him looked at Tang Chuxia with a wronged expression, "Sister, how can he do that? Sis, do you want to kick him out?"
Far from getting angry, Tang Chuxia pinched the younger brother’s cheeks and then noticed Gu Beihuai’s ashen face, saying quite directly, "Why are you still here? You drank my water; aren’t you going to refill it?"
Gu Beihuai wanted to take action but remembered he was no match for Tang Chuxia, so he could only go refill the water with frustration.
Madam Tang watched this scene and gave Tang Chuxia and the puppy-eyed brother a look, signaling that it was almost enough, not to play too hard, lest they really upset Gu Beihuai and they all get anxious.
The puppy-eyed brother looked at Tang Chuxia, whose eyes were filled with interest.
When Gu Beihuai handed her the water, the puppy-eyed brother leaned in again to help Tang Chuxia cool the hot water.
Gu Beihuai’s fists tightened.
The more he looked at the puppy-eyed brother, the less he liked him, and just when he was about to take action, Tang Chuxia took the tea away, indicating that she no longer needed the younger brother to fan and cool it for her.
The puppy-eyed brother wore a face full of grievance, "Sister, how can you not want me?"
Tang Chuxia shivered.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want him, but if they continued to play on, Gu Beihuai would really take action.
As a matter of fact, Gu Beihuai was about to take action at that very moment.
Tang Chuxia instinctively pulled the puppy-eyed brother behind her.
Gu Beihuai was furious.
He simply couldn’t believe the scene before him, Tang Chuxia was actually protecting an outsider and glaring at him angrily.
The puppy-eyed brother was terrified and hurriedly shouted, "Brother-in-law, please be merciful, Tang Chuxia is my cousin!!!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
He stood there dumbfounded, not sure whether to retract his fist or not.
Tang Chuxia scoffed, "I thought you were going to hit me, I was just thinking whether to throw you out or not!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
Fortunately, he hadn’t taken action, otherwise, he would be the unlucky one.
Madam Tang cheerfully said, "Xiao Tian is from Tang Village and Xiaxia’s cousin. He had time to come over today. We didn’t expect these two to cause such a stir!"
Gu Beihuai felt utterly uncomfortable.
Someone so clever as him failed to notice anything amiss.
Above all, she seemed to have lost her wits, as if wanting to settle things with force.
"What’s the matter? Are you regretting it?" Tang Chuxia approached Gu Beihuai with a smug look on her face.
She knew Gu Beihuai would get angry; who had him take that bastard away before she was ready?
Now, even though she was curious why that guy wanted to approach licorice, the lead was cut off, and all she could do was to annoy Gu Beihuai a bit.
Gu Beihuai held onto Tang Chuxia’s head, "Regret what? Regret that I didn’t just break in last night?"
Without him mentioning it, Tang Chuxia would have forgotten, but now that he did, she was perked up.
"What’s going on? You still remember to come back? I thought you had forgotten you were married!"
Gu Beihuai rubbed his nose and faced with Tang Chuxia’s fury, he could only retreat, trying not to get too close in fear of being thrown.
The puppy-eyed younger brother Xiao Tian also hid behind Madam Tang, "Auntie, my sister won’t actually hit someone, right?"
Madam Tang patted Xiao Tian’s shoulder, "Very likely, so remember never to marry someone with your sister’s temper, you won’t be able to handle it!"
Xiao Tian nodded in agreement.
He indicated that he would never give up the upper hand for the sake of beauty in his lifetime.
Mainly, it was just too scary!
Xiao Tian wasn’t mentioned, silently reflecting in the corner, resolute about finding a wife from Jiangnan in the future so he could be the one calling the shots at home.
Gu Beihuai carried Tang Chuxia away without giving her a chance to fight back.
But in reality, Tang Chuxia was capable of struggling free; she had the strength for it.
The only reason she didn’t actually break free was to give Gu Beihuai a way out, or else today’s incident would be remembered by him indefinitely.
Once they were back in their room, Gu Beihuai set Tang Chuxia down and tied her up.
Tang Chuxia cooperated with a happy grin.
After all, she quite enjoyed seeking out some excitement.
"We’re talking bondage, do we need candles?"
Tang Chuxia looked around and whispered a little reminder.
Gu Beihuai really couldn’t fathom what was going on in Tang Chuxia’s mind at the moment; he just wanted to tie her up and explain why he had to leave yesterday.
It didn’t occur to him that Tang Chuxia’s thoughts might be a jumble of disorderly ideas.
"I really did have something to take care of yesterday, that’s why I left with that guy. But I also got out of him why he insists on targeting you!"
Gu Beihuai’s response got Tang Chuxia to forget about the bondage games and sit up: "What reason?"
She looked dead serious, inadvertently making Gu Beihuai turn serious too.
"It’s simply because he wants to get your attention, no matter if it’s in a good way or a bad, he’ll ensure you remember him!"
After Gu Beihuai finished, Tang Chuxia blurted out: "He’s actually in love with me!!!"
Gu Beihuai nearly choked on his own spit.
What kind of logic was that?
Where did it show that he liked her?
Maybe he wanted to scheme against her and get her completely under his control, right?
But Gu Beihuai couldn’t say these things out loud; he feared he would get so angry he’d die.
"Get those thoughts out of your head, what are you rambling about? His goal indeed is to get close to you, but it’s to kill you!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
That was still rather terrifying.
She’d thought he just wanted to cause some trouble, yet his goal was to have her dead.
Even livestock shouldn’t be so brazen.
Noticing the change in Tang Chuxia’s expression, Gu Beihuai felt a bit more at ease.
He shouldn’t be the only one upset.
After clearing up yesterday’s incident, Gu Beihuai pinched Tang Chuxia’s chin: "Now tell me, why did you have your cousin team up with you to anger me?"
Tang Chuxia rubbed her chin against Gu Beihuai’s palm: "Of course, I wanted to see if you cared about me, no?"
Gu Beihuai: ...
He had considered all sorts of answers, but this one left him somewhat at a loss.
Seizing the moment, Tang Chuxia pressed: "Also, aren’t you just a little curious as to why I mentioned candles?"
Indeed, Gu Beihuai hadn’t figured out what candles could mean in this context.
Especially since Tang Chuxia was wearing such a mysterious expression.
Out of curiosity, Gu Beihuai asked: "I’m curious, but will you explain?"
Tang Chuxia giggled: "Of course, I must explain, but shouldn’t you untie me first? This thing can tie you down, but it can’t contain me!"
She was speaking nothing but the truth and obviously, Gu Beihuai heard it too.
"So, I’ll untie you, and you’ll explain to me why we need candles!"
After Gu Beihuai finished speaking, Tang Chuxia nodded fervently.
That was, of course, a must!
