I'm Very Happy After Marrying the CEO Husband According to the Agreement

Shen Tang certainly hadn't seen Gu Huaian's shady side.

Shen's family also said Gu Huaian was shrewd, and his business tactics weren't exactly aboveboard.

But Shen Tang felt this was perfectly normal—if he wasn't shrewd, he would have been swallowed up long ago.

If she knew Gu Qingan's thoughts, Shen Tang would definitely tell her she was worrying too much.

But right now, thinking about all that was useless. The most important thing was to see if they could find Gu Huaian.

Of course, people on their end were also looking, just more covertly.

If the outside world found out, Gu Corporation's stock might plummet.

Shen Tang clasped her hands together and prayed in her heart: Gu Huaian, you have to be okay...

The sky gradually darkened, and Shen Tang closed her eyes to nap. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the doorknob turning and snapped her eyes open.

Moonlight streamed in through the high little window, illuminating the doorway.

Shen Tang sat in the dark, expression invisible.

Gu Qingan shifted next to Shen Tang and whispered, "Shall we do it?"

Shen Tang nodded, then realized she couldn't see it, so she whispered back, "If he's rude, take care of him."

Although they wanted to stay and uncover the truth, it was on the condition of protecting themselves first.

The two of them were capable of self-defense, and the bodyguards they'd brought weren't pushovers either. Otherwise, Shen Tang wouldn't have been so bold as to plunge into the tiger's den.

Without backup, coming here would be suicidal.

The door opened, and Shen Tang and Gu Qingan instantly narrowed their eyes. Fortunately, their long lashes and the dim light kept their reactions hidden.

Sure enough, Yellow Hair Man came in.

She'd felt his greasy, disgusting gaze earlier already. Brother Biao also said this guy had committed many offenses due to lack of self-control. So Shen Tang was prepared.

Yellow Hair licked his lips and gently closed the door. Then he eagerly pounced at Shen Tang. Before he could touch her, he went flying back with a loud thud against the door.

The commotion woke everyone up. People started streaming into the room, and the lights flashed on brightly.

Shen Tang and Gu Qingan pretended to have just woken up, blinking blearily. "What's going on?"

"Ah, so bright!" Gu Qingan hastily closed her eyes and turned her face away from the glare.

Big Brother finally arrived, shirtless, and people automatically cleared a path for him.

Seeing Yellow Hair on the ground and the innocent-looking Shen Tang, his expression was ugly. "What happened?"

Yellow Hair mumbled incoherently, unable to explain.

Shen Tang blinked blankly. "Why is everyone here? Is there business to attend to?"

On the surface, it seemed Shen Tang truly didn't know anything.

But since she was an actress, Big Brother still had doubts about the situation.

Yellow Hair was also confused. He felt like he'd been kicked, but seeing Shen Tang's reaction made him question his senses.

But...

He touched his aching stomach. That was proof he hadn't imagined it earlier.

Having already made similar mistakes before due to lust, if he slipped up again this time, he'd surely be punished.

His eyes shifted back and forth as he quickly said, "I came to check they hadn't escaped."

Surprisingly, Big Brother actually believed the far-fetched excuse.

Big Brother stroked his chin and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot how strong you are."

Strong?

Yellow Hair touched his throbbing stomach. Damn it, so it was Shen Tang who'd kicked him.

He glared fiercely at Shen Tang several times but could only swallow this injustice.

Big Brother left briefly then returned,

holding several long ropes in his hands. "Better tie them up tight just in case."

Brother Biao reached to take them, but Big Brother drew back his hands.

He took it upon himself to tie up Shen Tang completely, leaving only her face and feet exposed.

Shen Tang was speechless. "Big Brother, isn't this overkill? Tied so tight, how will I use the bathroom?"

"Wear diapers."

Shen Tang hesitated then compromised, "Well, if you guys don't mind the smell..."

Gu Qingan nearly broke character beside her.

Big Brother paused as if considering the feasibility of this.

He got up and asked, "Any chains around?"

"No..."

This was just an abandoned factory. Where would they get chains? Those would've been stolen and sold off long ago.

Even these ropes were brought by them.

After a moment of silence, Big Brother slowly untied Shen Tang's lower half, leaving just her upper body tightly bound.

Shen Tang impatiently reasoned, "Then can you loosen my sister's restraints? Like this I can't eat or use the bathroom either."

"You're always spewing crap about piss and shit, are you even a woman?"

"What's wrong with that? The cycle of the five grains is very normal. Don't you even shit?"

"Of course I—" Big Brother shut his mouth and stopped talking.

He realized that talking to Shen Tang easily let her lead him by the nose.

The best approach was to ignore her.

Not only did he ignore Shen Tang himself, he ordered his men to also ignore her unless she needed food, drink, or the bathroom. Otherwise, nobody was to enter this room.

Shen Tang: "..."

"Isn't that a bit excessive?"

"Not at all." Gu Qingan weakly echoed beside her.

She too noticed Shen Tang's mystical ability to nearly convert all these kidnappers. So it was prudent of Big Brother to take precautions, or else Shen Tang might sway them all.

Brother Biao and Shou Zi were examples already.

"No way, those were exceptions." If she were that capable, she would've swayed Big Brother long ago.

Gu Qingan nodded at the door. "Then how do you explain the guy who's been bringing you meals several times a day? Are you a bottomless pit?"

"Is it possible he was bringing food for you?"

"He didn't even glance at me."

Shen Tang sighed. "Maybe he likes my youthful body."

"Oh~ So you're saying I'm old?"

Shen Tang: "!!!!"

"No no, that's not what I meant! Sis, you're my real sister! Don't get the wrong idea!"

Gu Qingan laughed aloud. Of course she knew Shen Tang didn't mean that, but teasing her was quite entertaining.

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside, mixed with yelling.

Shen Tang wriggled up and went to listen by the door. As a result, the door burst open, slamming into her.

"Holy shit!"
