Chapter 456 I Don’t Think I’m Cheap, I’m Quite Expensive

Tang Zui had fallen asleep. Gu Mian carefully removed his hand from her belly and went to the bathroom. She curled up in the bathtub and trembled all over. She could only cover her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

…

The next day, when Tang Zui woke up, he felt a splitting headache. He reached out to the side but didn't touch Gu Mian. He opened his eyes and sat up suddenly at the empty bed.

He almost immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Just as he was about to find clothes to wear, the bedroom door was pushed open. Gu Mian came in with a cup of tea. Seeing Tang Zui's angry look, Gu Mian was startled and looked at him nervously.

Tang Zui was stunned for a moment when he looked at the girl who came in, and then he frowned. Although Gu Mian was very nervous, she tried to calm herself down and said, "I made you some sobering tea. You drank yesterday and you may have a headache today."

Tang Zui walked towards her. Gu Mian subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she still stopped abruptly.

Gu Mian lowered her head, and from Tang Zui's perspective, she could see her beautiful neck, which was covered with deep and shallow kiss marks.

"I thought you would leave." Tang Zui thought she would not be able to bear such humiliation and run away.

"I signed an agreement with you, I will not leave." Gu Mian whispered, and sent the tea to him, "This tea is quite effective, you can try it."

Tang Zui did not take it. Just when Gu Mian thought he didn't want to drink it and was about to take it back, he suddenly brought the tea over and drank it all. After drinking it, he returned the teacup to her and went to the bathroom.

Gu Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Tang Zui came out of the bedroom, Gu Mian had already prepared breakfast. Tang Zui looked at her standing there meekly in an apron, and felt inexplicably irritated.

"It's time to eat." Gu Mian said.

Tang Zui walked to the dining room and sat down, and Gu Mian also took off her apron and sat down.

Tang Zui looked at Gu Mian who was submissive, and suddenly sneered, "Gu Mian, I find you are really cheap! You won't leave even though I treated you like that!"

Gu Mian's hands trembled, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears, and fell into the bowl of soup in front of her, "I don't think I'm cheap, I'm quite expensive."

Tang Zui looked at her crying, and at that moment he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife. He picked up the bowl irritably, drank the soup in front of him, stood up and left.

After Tang Zui left, Gu Mian dared to raise her head, and she covered her lips with her hands and cried.

In fact, what Tang Zui said was right, she was really cheap, but what could she do? Could she watch her brother being hacked to death and watch her family living on the streets?

...

Su Qianxun fell asleep later, and when she woke up, she was the only one left in the bedroom. When she turned her head, she saw a pool of blood on the bed, and her brows frowned. This was Long Sijue's blood...

When Su Qianxun went downstairs, the housekeeper said that Long Sijue had gone to work. She asked the housekeeper if he knew that Long Sijue was injured, and the housekeeper said he didn't know.

Su Qianxun was very worried about Long Sijue's condition, but she was afraid that her concern would be seen as self-righteousness to him.

After hesitating for a while, she still called Tang Zui.

"Hey, Su Xiaoniu, do you miss me?" Tang Zui's voice still sounded careless.

"..."

"What's wrong? What happened to you and Jue again?" Tang Zui asked directly.

"A Jue... No, the young master seems to be injured, go and see... Don't say I told you." Su Qianxun hung up the phone directly after saying that.
