Gan Tang pointed at Cao Yunbo and started to shoo him away: "Get him out of here right now, I don't want to see him again."
"Madam, what wrong did he do?" the manager insisted on finding out.
Gan Tang pointed to her dress and said, "With so many empty seats, can't you serve the food a little further away from me? This dress is worth a million. If you get it dirty, can you afford to pay for it?"
"Excuse me, our restaurant can send your clothes to the dry cleaners, would you like to see..."
"Do you think I need your dry cleaning fee?" Gan Tang interrupted the manager hastily, and once again told him to get out of there, "Get him out of here right now, and don't let me see him again."
"I'm so sorry!" The manager pulled Cao Yunbo away.
The room was completely silent.
Mrs. Chu, who always attended elegant occasions, had never seen such a shrewish woman yelling in the street, and stared in shock. Even Chu Jiahe thought Gan Tang had been possessed.
"...Xintang?"
He tried calling out.
Only now did Gan Tang realize how incredibly foolish she had become.
"Auntie, I..."
What can I say?
First impressions are incredibly important. Perhaps it could have been salvaged just now, but now…
Gan Tang really didn't know what else to say.
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
In the bathroom, the tap water gushed out rapidly, icy cold, splashing onto Gan Tang's face in handfuls.
With a bang, the bathroom door slammed shut. Gan Tang turned her head and saw Cao Yunbo.
"Who sent you here?" Even though she knew he was doing it for her sake, Gan Tang couldn't help but get angry.
"Tangtang, I want to save you!" Cao Yunbo walked closer to Gantang. "As long as Mrs. Chu knows that you are my girlfriend, she will definitely not let you become her daughter-in-law."
"Are you crazy?"
“I’m insane!” Cao Yunbo’s eyes were filled with pain: “I can’t imagine that you married a poisoner, were bullied by him, and were forced to be poisoned by him.”
"I don't care, get out."
"Tangtang, drug addiction is hereditary. Do you want to have a child who is born with drugs all over his body?" Cao Yunbo roared, suppressing Gan Tang's voice, full of heroic spirit: "Today, even if Lu Zhengqian kills me, I will ruin this marriage."
Having said that, he left resolutely.
"Don't go!" Gan Tang hugged him tightly from behind, sobbing and crying, "Please don't go, he really will kill you."
"I'd do anything for you!"
"No, no..." Gan Tang leaned against his back, and the emotions she had suppressed for days were stirred up with all her courage at this moment: "Yunbo, take me away, let's go to the desert, to the deep mountains and forests, to the Middle East, as long as no one knows us."
"Wh...what?" How could this be? Cao Yunbo couldn't understand it at all. Even after all he had done, she still didn't try to refuse Chu Jiahe.
"Xintang, Xintang, what's wrong?" Chu Jiahe came out to look for Gantang when she hadn't returned for a long time. Unexpectedly, the bathroom door was tightly closed, so he knocked on the door anxiously.
wait for me!
Gan Tang silently mouthed a word and pushed Cao Yunbo into the stall. Only after he locked it did she open the bathroom door with peace of mind.
A flushed face appeared behind the door, its smudged makeup covered in tear stains.
"Jiahe, I don't know what happened to me just now, but I just felt that your mother didn't like me very much and didn't want me to marry you. I get nervous and... I'm not usually like this!"
"What are you doing here? Are you here to break up with me?"
"Don't you like me anymore either?"
"..."
Her flustered and frightened appearance resembled a startled little white rabbit, utterly pitiful. Chu Jiahe had completely forgotten her fierce and aggressive demeanor; her heart was filled with tenderness.
I like you, I like you!
To calm Gan Tang, who was in a frenzied state, he closed the bathroom door, cupped Gan Tang's face in his hands, and kissed her passionately.
Gan Tang instinctively tried to push him away, but the moment she touched his waist, she forced herself to stop and instead hugged him. The only way to prevent things from spiraling out of control was to calm Chu Jiahe down.
But, does this smell like poison?
Will I become addicted myself?
Gan Tang was afraid, but dared not show the slightest resistance.
Fortunately, the kiss didn't last long. Feeling the woman in his arms calm down, Chu Jiahe gradually released Gan Tang.
Why is your face so cold?
He then reached out and took Gan Tang's hand, even more puzzled, "Why are your hands so cold too?"
"My makeup got messed up, so I washed it off." Gan Tang lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"How could that be?...Are you stupid?!"
Use cold water in winter.
Chu Jiahe suddenly realized, and with a pained expression, she took the cold little hand to the sink and carefully turned on the warm water. The makeup on her face was washed away little by little, and Gan Tang looked up, her face as smooth and radiant as a peeled egg.
This was the first time Chu Jiahe had seen Gan Tang without makeup, and it made him blush and his heart race.
Gan Tang was worried that he would discover Cao Yunbo, so she opened the door and pushed him out, saying, "Go back quickly, I'll go out as soon as I'm done with my makeup."
"No makeup needed, you look great!"
Chu Jiahe pulled Gan Tang out, but Gan Tang didn't insist. After all, Cao Yunbo was in the bathroom, so it was safer to leave as soon as possible.
The two walked hand in hand down the corridor, the woman's natural fragrance filling the air and making Chu Jiahe even more infatuated.
"Xintang, don't wear makeup anymore."
"How can you go out without makeup, unless you're at home?"
"Oh, at home!"
Chu Jiahe murmured to himself and silently noted down the answer.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Chu and Gan Tang remained silent, which made Chu Jiahe tired and he kept trying to find things to say.
Mrs. Chu gracefully put down her chopsticks as they finished eating. "Miss Lu!"
"Um!"
Gan Tang also quickly put down her chopsticks.
Mrs. Chu said slowly, "I've always liked girls, but I never expected to have such a rascal like Jiahe. Today, I found Miss Lu to be very eloquent and charming. If Miss Lu doesn't mind, I'd like to adopt you as my goddaughter."
Chu Jiahe said unhappily, "Mom, what are you saying?"
What a scholarly family! Even their refusal is done with such grace. Gan Tang smiled and said, "I also like Aunt Chu very much, and I would like to become family with her."
When the word "family" came up, Gan Tang looked at Chu Jiahe, her eyes sparkling, "But I, but I... Auntie, I have something to attend to, please excuse me."
Gan Tang covered her mouth and left, and as she turned around, a tear landed on the back of Chu Jiahe's hand.
"Xintang!"
Chu Jiahe chased after Gan Tang to the car door and grabbed her. Gan Tang turned around and bumped right into Chu Jiahe's arms.
"Jiahe, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you today!" Gantang naturally sided with Chu Jiahe, looking up with teary eyes. "Don't be angry. I didn't mean to leave. I was just afraid of upsetting your aunt again, but I really don't want to become your sister."
Her voice was soft and sweet, full of grievance, making one's heart ache.
They really got into character!
Sitting in the driver's seat, Mo Huaixing looked away with disdain and put on his earphones.
