Chapter 141

Xie Xuan was very straightforward and would blurt out whatever was on her mind. This often resulted in Xie Yuan having to cover her mouth.

Shen Tang suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xie Yuan - having such a big mouth for a little sister must be very tiring.

She even had a feeling that if Xie Xuan said a few more sentences, she might end up spilling out her family's bank card password.

Thinking of this, she really wanted to try asking more.

But she wasn't interested in the bank card password.

"Xie Xuan, is your brother constipated?" Shen Tang asked.

Upon hearing Shen Tang's words, Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment. "Consti-what?"

"Constipated."

Xie Yuan's face instantly turned dark. "I do not have constipation! Or hemorrhoids!"

Shen Tang instantly covered her mouth in surprise. "What? You have hemorrhoids?"

Because Xie Xuan didn't know the context, when she heard her brother suddenly say this, she looked over doubtfully: "Brother, you actually—"

Before she could finish speaking, she took two steps back with a look of disgust on her face.

Then she said in a small voice, "Brother, we can't avoid doctors out of modesty. Since we're in the hospital already, you should go get it checked out..."

Xie Yuan: "..."

He ground his back teeth. "I told you, I'm not sick!"

"Yes, yes, you're not sick, I'm the one who's constipated and has hemorrhoids."

The way Shen Tang spoke made it seem like she was coaxing a disobedient child. Her words only further confirmed that Xie Yuan had constipation and hemorrhoids.

Xie Yuan was so angry he wanted to teach this loose-tongued woman a lesson.

Gu Huaian lightly coughed and started to fan the flames: "I didn't expect you to have this kind of hidden illness. But it's not a big deal. I happen to have an extra room next door, how about you—"

Xie Yuan immediately stood up. He really could not stay in this room any longer.

After Xie Yuan left, Xie Xuan was still shamelessly sitting there.

Shen Tang didn't particularly dislike her, even though she was attracted to her husband.

Of course, Shen Tang didn't have a cuckold fetish.

It was just that Xie Xuan was like an immature child. Her liking for Gu Huaian was probably not romantic, but simply an innocent obsession over his looks.

This wasn't just Shen Tang's wild guess, there were signs indicating as much.

Because she noticed Xie Xuan had secretly looked at her several times, with very complicated feelings in her eyes - admiration, jealousy, and astonishment. That's right, astonishment.

It was the same look she had seen in the eyes of fans she had run into on the streets.

Shen Tang clutched her stomach and let out a soft cry. Before Gu Huaian could say anything, Xie Xuan hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"Tangtang, what's uncomfortable?"

"I feel a little hungry..."

The few of them then realized they hadn't eaten much today.

What was more important was that they hadn't bathed either.

Shen Tang suddenly raised her arm to smell herself - luckily there was no stink.

It was a good thing the weather was cool, otherwise she probably would've reeked.

She might be the most sloppy female celebrity.

"Hungry? Let me treat you to a meal?"

Seeing three pairs of eyes look over at her, Xie Xuan stammered out an explanation: "Why are you all staring at me? Don't tell me you really want me to foot the bill?"

"Yeah, I have no money."

Shen Tang replied, turning out her two pockets which were completely empty without anything inside.

"I don't just have no money, I don't even have a phone..."

Xie Xuan pursed her lips. "Aren't you a celebrity? How can you be so poor?"

"I can't help it. I just escaped from kidnappers."

There was some evasiveness in Xie Xuan's eyes - it looked like she knew about this incident.

"I see..."

After thinking for a bit, she took out a card from her bag. "Then, then take this card and buy yourself a phone."

Shen Tang had to hold back her laughter. This girl was really silly, but an adorable kind of silly.

"Oh right, what were you saying to your brother earlier?"

"Huh? Which part?"

Xie Xuan racked her brains but couldn't remember. It felt like she had said a lot of things today.

"The part where you asked your brother, 'Didn't you say you would help me'?"

Shen Tang was just casually asking out of curiosity, and had not been prepared for Xie Xuan to actually answer.

Unexpectedly, she did reply.

First, she snuck what she thought was an inconspicuous glance at Gu Huaian. Then she said softly: "It's nothing much. My brother promised he would 'deal with' you."

Shen Tang's face filled with shock. "What do you mean, deal with?"

Don't tell me they were going to bump her off!

Xie Xuan quickly explained when she also thought of this possibility: "I just meant making you not come around anymore."

Shen Tang: "..." "May I ask...is there any difference between the two?"

Xie Xuan wanted to explain but couldn't articulate the difference. Finally she just mumbled: "My brother is a good person. He didn't intend to harm you, otherwise he wouldn't have brought you here."

Shen Tang neither agreed nor disagreed on this point.

There was no way she believed that Xie Yuan was a good person.

However, it was true that he brought her back here.

Then, Xie Xuan dropped a bombshell out of nowhere: "Anyway, you and Brother Huaian only got married by agreement. Why don't you just let him go to be with me instead!"

Shen Tang stared hard first at Gu Huaian, then shifted her gaze to Gu Qingan.

At this moment, she only had one thought in her head: Oh no, our secret's been exposed!

Beside them, Gu Qingan's eyes instantly widened. "What agreement to get married?"

"No...there's no agreement or anything like that."

Gu Huaian's brow furrowed. "Where did you hear such nonsense?"

"It's totally not nonsense! Anyway, I just somehow know, okay?"

Gu Qingan's expression was calm, but those familiar with her could tell she was clearly angry.

She forced out a smile with some effort: "I'm sorry Miss Xie, but we have some family matters to discuss. Could you please leave us for a moment?"

Xie Xuan didn't really want to leave, but seeing the strange expressions on all their faces, she got a little frightened.

"Alright then..."

After she left and Gu Qingan locked the door, she crossed her arms and gestured at Shen Tang and Gu Huaian with her chin. "Explain yourselves, what's going on here?"

Shen Tang let out an awkward laugh. "Sis, she's just spouting nonsense."

"Oh? Lying isn't very nice though. Truthful children get rewarded with 5 million."

Damn, what a vicious curse!

Shen Tang immediately changed her tune. It definitely wasn't because of the 5 million.

"No no, we really did get married by agreement."

Gu Huaian: "..."

"Tangtang..."

Shen Tang righteously stated: "Gu Huaian, that's my sister. I can't bring myself to lie and deceive her."

Gu Huaian: "..."

That's not how you really feel inside.

"So between you two..."

They didn't seem loveless to Gu Qingan either though.

Shen Tang didn't reply.

Gu Huaian explained: "I'm chasing after her."

Gu Qingan walked over and patted Gu Huaian on the shoulder. "Go for it! If you can't get her, don't come back."
