When Tang Xiao and Zhou Zi Yuan got into the car, Tang Xiao scrutinised him and asked, “Zhou Zi Yuan, you guys didn’t really go to some strange place and had a good time last night, did you?”

Otherwise, why did they return so late?

This doubt was in Tang Xiao’s mind previously while they were at Su Rui’s home. However, she was afraid that it would affect the couple’s relationship harmony so she held herself back from asking.

Zhou Zi Yuan broke out in a sweat.

“How could it be?”

As Zhou Zi Yuan watched Tang Xiao inching closer to sniff him, the corners of Zhou Zi Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly as he asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m checking to see if there is any questionable smell arising from the indulgence of sensual pleasure on your body!” Tang Xiao answered in a righteous manner.

When he saw this, Zhou Zi Yuan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He placed a palm on top of Tang Xiao’s head.

“How could that be? Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe your elder brother and Lao Gu, right?”

If they really wanted to play around and indulge in sensual pleasure, they would have done so ten years ago. Why would they wait until now, when all they think about are their careers and families?

Moreover, he is not merely saying this. During their teens and twenties, he did try to drag those two people to “fool around”. Unfortunately, he did not dare to bring Gu Yu Cheng and he could not persuade Tang Jun to do so.

“Enough. Enough. Don’t sniff anymore. There’s nothing there,” Zhou Zi Yuan said. He added, “Even if there is, it’s only your brother and Lao Gu’s smell.”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao stopped with a jolt. She looked at him with contempt, “Can you not say it in such a disgusting manner?”

Zhou Zi Yuan felt somewhat helpless and asked, “Heh. What do you mean by ‘disgusting’? What’s going on in your head?”

Sometimes he really wants to crack open this woman’s head to see what is in it.

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes and digressed from this subject.

“So what did you guys do tonight? Just sitting in the clubhouse drinking and chatting? How can you guys chat until this late?” Mainly, Zhou Zi Yuan’s body didn’t reek much of alcohol.

Looking at the way Tang Xiao was glowering at him, Zhou Zi Yuan was amused and took the woman into his arms.

Zhou Zi Yuan replied leisurely, “We were really just chatting and drinking.” After a pause, he added, “But we were basically discussing Lao Gu’s matters.”

“Eh? What do you mean by ‘discussing Lao Gu’s matters’?”

“Lao Gu is going to hold a wedding as soon as Su Rui graduates, and he’s secretly planning it right now. He called me and your elder brother to meet today to put forward plans and ideas.”

When she heard the word “wedding”, Tang Xiao’s eyes lit up.

“Gu Yu Cheng is secretly arranging a wedding!” Tang Xiao got hold of the main point.

“Oh my god! Is Chairman Gu so romantic?”

“You don’t understand, do you? In women’s eyes, romance is a feeling. But in men’s eyes, romance is a natural skill. As to whether one wants to use it or not depends on the partner’s worth.”

Regarding this point, Zhou Zi Yuan gave Tang Xiao a meaningful glance.

The result was a ‘You can fabricate it. Go on, continue to do so.’ expression from Tang Xiao.

“And then what? How did you guys plan it?” Tang Xiao was particularly curious as to what kind of wedding a man of Gu Yu Cheng’s character would plan.

Will it be the one that has scrupulous attention to detail or the one that is unexpectedly shocking?

Zhou Zi Yuan smiled and said, “I shall keep it a secret for now.”

“Zhou Zi Yuan!”

Zhou Zi Yuan glanced at the small handbag in Tang Xiao’s hand and asked while he immediately digressed from the topic, “That’s all you bought when you and Su Rui went shopping today?” Amiracle, ah.

Tang Xiao: Don’t think I don’t know you’re changing the subject. But, congratulations, it worked. Who let this particularly hilarious incident sit in her head while she was also debating whether to share it with Zhou Zi Yuan?

Tang Xiao raised her eyebrow and responded, “You’re wrong. I didn’t buy a single thing today and this isn’t mine either.”

“Then what is it?”

Tang Xiao lightly snorted and answered, “I’m keeping it a secret too, hmph!”

It had only been less than a minute before Tang Xiao still couldn’t hold back and tugged at Zhou Zi Yuan’s arm.

Tang Xiao was filled with curiosity and asked, “Let me ask you a question. Does An An look especially like Gu Yu Cheng when she was a child?”

“Don’t they look quite similar now?”

“I’m talking about when Gu Yu Cheng was this big too.”

Zhou Zi Yuan said, “How would I know when your boyfriend was just as old as Gu Yu Cheng at Gu An An’s age?” He thought about it and added, “But they should look similar.”

Gu An An’s features were very similar to Gu Yu Cheng’s. At this age, his features were not very well defined. Hence, it is possible that at first glance, he might look exactly like his father.

Zhou Zi Yuan eyed Tang Xiao and asked, “What bad things did you do?”

Tang Xiao retorted discontentedly, “What do you mean by ‘bad things’?!” She couldn’t restrain herself as she smiled “impurely” and said, “Let me show you something amusing.”

Tang Xiao retrieved the set of photos she had taken of Gu An An and handed them to Zhou Zi Yuan’s eyes.

The corners of his eyes finally twitched as his eyes lingered for a while on the Gu An An wearing the Little Mermaid outfit in the photo.

Looking at the woman beside him as she was clutching her phone and smiling foolishly, Zhou Zi Yuan sighed with emotion and commented, “Why do women have such a bizarre interest?”

“What do you mean by bizarre? Don’t you think it’s cute?”

Cute? It’s all right.

But why does Gu An An, a boy, need to be cute?

“Fortunately, Gu An An can’t oppose now,” Zhou Zi Yuan said. He suddenly realized something and looked at the handbag with aquamarine material emerging from Tang Xiao’s bag. “So, this thing in here is that dress?”

“Smart, you got it right!”

“Since it’s for Gu An An, why did you take it home?”

Tang Xiao: …

This chick usually rambles in front of Su Rui about her daughter being this and that. However, when it comes to Zhou Zi Yuan, Tang Xiao is embarrassed to mention the topic of “future daughter”.

As he noticed that Tang Xiao remained silent, Zhou Zi Yuan teased her, “What? Are you planning to try it yourself?”

“How could I?! Can’t I just keep it in advance for my future daughter?”

It’s so cute, what if I can’t buy it later!

She still wanted to take a set of these photos for her future daughter as well.

When Zhou Zi Yuan heard Tang Xiao’s words, he froze for a moment as the gaze casted on Tang Xiao was suddenly filled with an indescribable warmth.

He lowered his head to stare at Tang Xiao’s abdomen and asked,”You’re so certain that it’s a daughter. What if it’s a son?”

“My son can wear it too.”

“No way.” He can’t let his son leave this kind of black history^[1] behind.

Tang Xiao flew into a rage once she heard those words.

“If Gu Yu Cheng’s son can wear it, how come your son Zhou Zi Yuan can’t wear it? No, he definitely has to wear it!”

“Tang Xiao Niu, trust me. If you want to live a happy and pleasant life in the future, don’t let Lao Gu see these pictures of his son.”

“It can’t be that horrifying,” Tang Xiao said nervously.

Although Gu Yu Cheng had immediately become her bestie’s husband in her relationship network due her relationship with Su Rui, Tang Xiao’s deep fear in front of Gu Yu Cheng was not that easy to get rid of.

“I won’t say anything,” Tang Xiao said with a serious face.

“But what if Su Xiao Rui can’t help herself and shows these photos to Gu Yu Cheng?”
