Chapter 10
That night, Shen Tang did not go home.
After all, good friends should sleep together!
In fact, due to her personality, Qi Yue did not have any intimate friends, and this was the first time she had lain in the same bed as a girl.
She felt a little uncomfortable, but not averse.
Qi Yue's reputation in the circle was not very good either.
Shen Tang could not help sighing to herself, indeed, one bed cannot accommodate two kinds of people.
Qi Yue was the first good friend she had made since crossing into this book world. She seemed cold and sharp-tongued, but was actually straightforward and easily offended people.
Just like now, Shen Tang touched Qi Yue's smooth and flawless skin, and could not help exclaiming, "Your skin is so good, how do you take care of it?"
Qi Yue: "Injections."
Shen Tang: "Oh." What a simple and unadorned answer.
She touched her own face. Now that she had money, she should also take good care of herself. In the future after her divorce, she could find a few young wolves and cubs to fawn over her left and right, hee hee...
Qi Yue shifted back a little. "Why are you laughing so lewdly?"
"Just fantasizing about my wonderful future life. What about you? Is there anything you want to do?"
Qi Yue was silent.
The reason she entered the entertainment industry in the first place was to pursue her starry dreams.
However, without family support, she had struggled for two years without making a name for herself.
She didn't know if there would still be a day when she could stand at the top.
"I don't know either..."
The two of them lay face to face, chatting until late into the night before finally falling asleep.
The next morning, Shen Tang reached out to grab her phone, but touched a slippery texture instead. She couldn't help grabbing a handful.
When she opened her eyes, she was face to face with a horrified Qi Yue covering her chest.
Shen Tang was instantly alert: "Hear me plead my case!"
Qi Yue resentfully complained: "You are so restless in your sleep!"
"Huh? Very restless?" Shen Tang scratched her head innocently.
She looked at her position, which was still the same as when she fell asleep.
Qi Yue curled her lips. "Don't look anymore. I was woken up by you hugging me once, kicking me once in the middle of the night. I don't know how you managed to flip 180 degrees, spin 360 degrees on the bed and still return to your original position."
Shen Tang smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. "Anyway, are you hungry? Let me make breakfast for you!"
When she opened the fridge, there weren't many ingredients, but it was enough to make sandwiches.
Shen Tang had always lived alone before, so her cooking skills were passable.
After eating breakfast, Qi Yue had to go for a work commitment, so she first sent Shen Tang back home.
Seeing this luxury villa area, Qi Yue's expression was very complicated: "Shen Tang, don't do anything against your conscience, if you are short on money you can tell me..."
Shen Tang rushed forward and hugged her. Feeling the surging waves on the other's chest, she almost shed envious tears from the corners of her mouth.
She wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Don't worry, this is my boss's house. I signed a two-year contract to live and eat here for now."
Hearing the explanation, Qi Yue was relieved.
"Okay, as long as you know your limits, I'm going to the company now."
Shen Tang reluctantly let go of her hands. After Qi Yue's car drove far away, she turned and entered the house.
In the living room, Peach Sister and butler Uncle He were chatting about something.
Seeing Shen Tang's figure, Peach Sister rushed over immediately and helped her sit on the sofa.
"Madam, you must be exhausted last night. Please sit down. I stewed nourishing soup in the pot. Let me bring it to you."
Shen Tang was a little confused. "I'm not tired."
Peach Sister's smile stiffened a little. "Not tired at all?"
Could it be that the master was impotent?!
Shen Tang stood up, stretched her arms and kicked her legs. "I'm fine, don't worry."
She was so moved that they were so worried about her after she was away for just one night.
In her previous life, she had always been alone, and this was the first time she had experienced a family.
Peach Sister brought out a bowl of soup. Without asking much, Shen Tang drank a sip directly.
She smacked her lips. "Why does it taste a little strange? Peach Sister, what soup is this?"
"Kidney-nourishing soup."
"Pfft!" Shen Tang, who was drinking her second sip, sprayed the soup directly out, and the butler in front of her was unlucky enough to bear the brunt.
"Sorry, sorry, Uncle He, please wipe it quickly!"
Peach Sister was distressed. "Oh my, I simmered it all morning, and this was the only bowl of essence..."
"Wait for me, I'll cook another bowl!"
"No!" Shen Tang grabbed Peach Sister's hand awkwardly, "I don't need this for now..."
To be more precise, it was not "for now", but "ever".
"Why don't you need it? Didn't you and the master last night-" Peach Sister said with a wink.
Shen Tang awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth. "I didn't go to him last night..."
"Then where did you go? Didn't you go deliver dinner to the master?"
"Yes, but I don't know where he lives, so I stayed overnight at my friend's house."
Peach Sister: "..."
The expression on Peach Sister's face visibly drooped. Shen Tang felt a little guilty.
Wait, what was she feeling guilty about!
Shen Tang gently patted Peach Sister's shoulder. "There, there, he works hard, we should be more understanding."
Peach Sister sighed. "I just want you to have a child soon."
Urging for a child, though late, had arrived.
"I'm still young, there's no rush for this..."
"But the master is getting on in years, he's almost forty. In a few more years, he may not even be able to-"
"Cough!" Uncle He coughed loudly.
Peach Sister shut her mouth in embarrassment, she almost let it slip, she deserved a slap.
Thinking so, she lightly patted her mouth twice.
Shen Tang almost laughed out loud.
This rounding was a bit too scary. Gu Huaian, who was not even thirty yet, was rounded up to forty.
Shen Tang suppressed her laugh. "He's still young and has his own plans."
Peach Sister sighed again and stopped persuading.
No matter how good the relationship, one had to observe proper boundaries.
The regret in her eyes was so palpable it frightened Shen Tang, who quickly averted her gaze.
However, thinking of children...
Shen Tang had been alone all her two lifetimes. If she had a child, wouldn't she have a blood-related family member?
With Gu Huaian's superior genes, any child would surely be very good-looking.
This thought flashed through her mind before being discarded.
What if she returned to her original world someday?
