Gan Tang watched, her heart pounding. Ignoring her fear, she went over and asked, "Dad, what old friend?"
"It's nothing!" Lu Zhengqian gently put his arm around his daughter's shoulder. "Tang'er, come with Daddy to the anti-drug squad!"
"Did he really say that?" On the way back to Yuanhuai Manor, Mo Huaixing suddenly turned the car to the side of the road.
"You're going to die!" Gan Tang rubbed her sore shoulder and glared at Mo Huaixing in dissatisfaction. She felt she needed to change drivers, absolutely needed to.
Mo Huaixing asked urgently, "Did you ask who it was?"
This old friend could very well be a spy hiding within.
His self-righteous manner made it seem like she was obligated to work for him for free. Gan Tang teased him, dissatisfied, "I asked him so openly, aren't you afraid he'll suspect me?"
"What's there to doubt?" Mo Huaixing wondered. Seeing Gan Tang's anger, he realized he had hurt her and quickly apologized.
Seeing his dejected appearance, Gan Tang stopped teasing him and said with a smile, "However, in a few days, he will go to the anti-drug squad under the guise of making a donation. I guess he's going to see that old friend."
At this point, she emphasized, "They will take me with them."
Mo Huaixing thought for a moment and asked, "Could you ask him to take me with him?"
"That wouldn't be good!" Gan Tang chuckled inwardly, but on the surface she looked completely bewildered and hurriedly shook her head: "I'm such a burden, I hope I don't ruin your important plans."
Petty!
Petty!
That's so petty!
Are all women this petty?
"What are you muttering about?" Although I couldn't hear what he was saying, I could tell from his shifty eyes and awkward expression that he was up to no good.
Mo Huaixing glanced around the car, turned to the side and lowered his head. Before he could even speak, his face had already turned bright red.
Please!
In the end, I couldn't escape that question.
Gan Tang leaned back in her chair, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Who asks for help empty-handed? That's not sincere!"
"Yes!" Mo Huaixing grinned and nodded. "What do you want? I'll go buy it right now!"
"Really?"
"I really mean it!"
"Then I'll reluctantly think about it!" Gan Tang opened her shoulder bag and looked through the contents.
"You've used up all your sunscreen and foundation, and you've used up half of the small bottle of face wash. You should also have more lipstick colors to switch between..." Her muttering words, combined with her rummaging through the store, made it seem like she was determined to buy the entire mall.
Mo Huaixing touched his wallet and started the car with a pounding heart. Just as he thought he was about to go bankrupt, Gan Tang took out an eyebrow pencil.
Seeing that she had used up half of the eyebrow pencil while drawing a mustache for him, Gan Tang turned to look at him and said, "Buy me an eyebrow pencil!"
It was a delightful surprise, and Mo Huaixing readily agreed.
"purchase!"
As he spoke, he drove the car directly to the mall.
Actually, Gan Tang didn't know much about makeup before. She didn't like the industrial look of makeup, and she could never finish using all the lipsticks and foundations she bought in a year. It was only later, when she was going on a date with Chu Jiahe, that she slowly started to learn how to do makeup.
But now, as he followed her in, she felt for the first time that those dazzling cosmetics had gained a certain luster.
"Which color looks best?" Gan Tang asked Mo Huaixing, holding up different types of eyebrow pencils.
"They all look good!"
"You're really being perfunctory," Gan Tang glared at him.
"Really, they all look good!" Mo Huaixing weakly retorted. Of course they do! If there were any bad colors, why produce them at all!
Seeing that neither of them had a ring on their hands, the sales assistant smiled and said, "Your boyfriend means that you're so pretty that you look good in any color."
Then, she began to introduce the benefits and suitable occasions for each color, and after finishing, she looked at Mo Huaixing, "We have a promotion today, buy two get one free. Sir, why don't you get one of each color? Your girlfriend will definitely like it."
Just as Mo Huaixing was about to agree, Gan Tang intervened in time, thwarting the saleswoman's scheme: "No need, we still have some at home, just buy one."
She lifted Mo Huaixing's arm and applied the ointment one stroke at a time. Soon, two rows of crescent moons appeared on his forearm.
"Which one looks better?" she asked again.
"This...this is black!"
Is it easy to choose the eyebrow pencil based on which color is darker? Gan Tang was speechless, but seeing his sincere expression, she nodded in agreement, "Take this one!"
Thinking back, she realized she had never owned a pure black eyebrow pencil. The first one was a gift from him.
The two walked out of the cosmetics store, unsure where to go next. Gan Tang asked, "Are you hungry?"
The person asking this question is most likely hungry.
Mo Huaixing chimed in, "Then let's go eat!"
Gan Tang nodded, her eyes shining: "Let's go get some snacks."
Every shopping mall has a food street. The people strolling through it are either best friends or couples. Gan Tang walked beside Mo Huaixing, watching the rising steam from one stall after another, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"One serving of stinky tofu, extra spicy duck intestines, an ice cream, and a serving of clams..."
She hadn't even finished walking down one of the food streets when she asked for food from half of it. She would only eat a couple of bites of each dish before tossing it to the person next to her and asking for new snacks from the next stall.
She's really promiscuous.
Gan Tang gently patted Mo Huaixing's shoulder, waving the candied hawthorn in her hand to remind the stunned man: "Pay up!"
Mo Huaixing looked at her hands, which were occupied by her food and unable to be freed, and asked, "Can you pay for it yourself?"
How stingy! A few snacks, how much money could they cost you?
Gan Tang looked around, leaned close to his chest, and whispered accusation: "That's stolen money, is it allowed?"
Seeing that she misunderstood, Mo Huaixing didn't explain. He looked the woman up and down, noticing her top-tier designer clothes from head to toe, and scoffed, "You've spent quite a bit of that embezzled money, haven't you?"
"Are you going to give it to me or not?" Gan Tang looked at him arrogantly.
Mo Huaixing was speechless. Who would be so self-righteous about spending someone else's money, unless they were...
He seemed to be lost in thought, and hurriedly looked away.
The old lady selling corn next to them lifted the lid of her pot, and the steaming heat made Mo Huaixing's face turn red. "I only make a few thousand yuan a month, and I can't afford for you to spend like this."
"What?" The bustling food street was a bit noisy, and Gan Tang didn't hear clearly.
"The wallet is in my pocket." Mo Huaixing pointed to his chest, indicating that she should take it herself.
Because it was summer, the top two buttons of his collar were undone, revealing glimpses of his half-naked chest. Even though the dark blue suit covered him, it couldn't stop the breeze from teasing him.
Just as Gan Tang reached out her hand, a reckless elementary school student bumped into her waist from behind. Without warning, she fell into Mo Huaixing's arms, her lips landing squarely on the man's bare chest, the heat making her lips go numb.
No matter how much she tried to restrain herself, she could never resist wanting to get closer when she touched his body.
Just like this morning in the car, if the traffic cop hadn't knocked on the window, she thought she really would have kissed him; just like now, she didn't want to leave his embrace.
