Chapter 22: Do You Think I’m Ugly

Chapter 22

"Knock knock knock"

Gu Huaian pulled himself out of his thoughts, "Come in."

The door was pushed open a crack, Shen Tang stuck her head in, "Mr. Gu, are you busy right now?"

Gu Huaian looked at her steadily, staring at Shen Tang until she became nervous.

"Do you need something?"

"They want to thank you in person, I don't know if it's convenient."

A inexplainable feeling of disappointment surged up in Gu Huaian's heart, "No need, I only saved them incidentally."

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment.

Saving them was incidental, so saving her was on purpose? Her heart suddenly became somewhat chaotic. This handsome guy was saying these ambiguous things in front of her, it was hard not to get the wrong idea.

She opened her mouth, and made a small "oh" sound.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Gu Huaian's mood improved somewhat.

As for those people thanking him, he really didn't think it was necessary.

The boat soon arrived at the dock, and as soon as the few people got off the boat, they saw the crying director and the paparazzi braving the wind and rain.

The flashes went off one after another, even making Shen Tang freeze for a moment.

Do they have to try so hard...

One should know, it was still pouring rain right now, and the accumulated water on the ground was already up to their calves.

The director came up crying, apologizing. The umbrella was blown inside out by the wind, the little hair left on his head was also wet and clumped together.

His face was covered in wetness, unable to distinguish the snot, tears and rainwater, looking extremely miserable.

Although the guests complained a little, they didn't say much.

After all, this was also a natural disaster, not the director's fault alone.

The guests' agents and assistants had all arrived, anxiously taking their artists away.

Before leaving, Huo Yingying pounced on Shen Tang to give her a hug, "Sister Tangtang, I remembered your WeChat ID, remember to accept my request when you get back!"

Hearing this, the slower Ao Ziping quickly waved his hand, "Me too, me too!"

Shen Tang smiled and nodded.

Looking towards her own car, there was only the driver and her assistant Yuan Yuan, as for Wang Brother, there wasn't even a shadow.

Of course, Shen Tang didn't expect anything from him anyway.

After saying a word to Yuan Yuan, she returned to Gu Huaian's car.

Shen Tang had just sat down when a towel was handed to her from the side.

The fingers were long and slender, the knuckles distinct. As someone obsessed with hands, uncontrollable indecent thoughts popped up in Shen Tang's mind.

Gu Huaian: "......"

A blush slowly spread over his face.

But because Shen Tang felt guilty, she didn't lift her head to look, thus missing this rare sight.

After drying off the rainwater that had accidentally splashed on her, Shen Tang took out her phone that had been returned to her in advance by the staff. Opening it, she saw there was still 60% battery left.

She opened WeChat first, accepting all the friend requests, before opening Weibo.

As expected, the show had completely blown up, with 6 of the top 10 hot searches related to it.

Including no lack of posts blacking Shen Tang for bringing sunscreen, with everyone in the comments cursing at her.

The latest was a photo of everyone getting off the boat, when Shen Tang had happened to have her eyes closed and face scrunched up from the strong winds.

#ShenTang face collapsed#

Seeing this hot search tag, Shen Tang felt like collapsing on the inside.

People could criticize her poor professional capabilities, her undeserved clout chasing antics, but they couldn't insult her looks!

The thing she was most thankful for in both her lifetimes was her perfect, mother-given face.

Shen Tang pouted angrily and suddenly moved closer to Gu Huaian: "Mr. Gu, do you think I'm ugly?"

Gu Huaian held his breath, carefully examining Shen Tang's brows and eyes. This face was extremely exquisite, it could be said to be the furthest thing from ugly.

Was this what she looked like in her original world too?

Shen Tang was made nervous by his burning gaze, regretting her rash actions a little.

"Um..."

Gu Huaian lightly opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Pretty."

Shen Tang's face instantly turned red. She made a small "oh" sound and averted her gaze.

【The sugar daddy seems a bit strange】

【Ahhhhhhh so awkward, my face feels so hot, did I blush】

【Stay calm, Shen Tang you're so hopeless, didn't you look at dozens of abs every day before this?】

Gu Huaian's brows knitted together. What exactly did this girl look at every day?

Neither of them spoke again, a peculiar atmosphere permeating the backseat.

On the surface Shen Tang looked calm, but inside she was extremely nervous.

She had wanted to look out the window at the scenery, but because of the dim lighting, the window reflected her and Gu Huaian's silhouettes.

And he was watching her.

Shen Tang: "......"

【!!! What are you looking at me for!】

Gu Huaian let out a low chuckle, the sound making one's ears tingle.

Shen Tang secretly scolded in her heart: 【Evil creature!】

Nearly destroyed her Dao heart!

Her phone dinged repeatedly with notification sounds. Opening it, she found she had been added to a group.

The group consisted of several of the guests, who were currently discussing the hot search topics.

Huo Yingying was furious. They wanted to help clarify things but didn't dare act rashly, so they frantically @'ed Shen Tang in the group, preparing to communicate.

Shen Tang felt warm inside. To tell the truth, she didn't care about these malicious hot searches at all.

As the saying goes, when lice multiply one doesn't feel the bite, when debts mount up one doesn't worry. People cursing at her wouldn't affect her ability to earn money.

The only annoying thing was them saying she had plastic surgery, and using ugly photos to prove her "face collapse".

Having heard her inner voice, Gu Huaian: "......"

Thinking for a bit, he sent a text to Assistant Cen.

On Shen Tang's side, she was still discussing things in the group, when she suddenly received a message from Yuan Yuan that the malicious hot searches about her had disappeared.

Shen Tang excitedly opened Weibo, and they really couldn't be found anymore.

She asked in the group: Wuwuwu, which cutie helped delete my hot searches? Too awesome!

Huo Yingying was furious: !!! One step too late, who was so fast?

The others all said it wasn't them.

Shen Tang was a bit confused. She had assumed it was Huo Yingying's doing, but since it wasn't her, who could it be?

Next to her, a light cough suddenly sounded out. Shen Tang carefully asked: "Have you caught a cold?"

Gu Huaian glanced at her. "I had someone take down the hot searches, you don't need to worry. If there's anything else you need help with in the future, you can contact me directly."

【The sugar daddy is also too awesome!】

Thinking for a bit, Gu Huaian added: "Given our current relationship, you don't need to be so restrained with me."

Shen Tang froze for a moment.

Their current relationship... wasn't it just the contractual marriage? He provided the money, she provided the effort, what other relationship was there?

Wasn't it him who had said earlier, for her to keep a three meter distance?

Why was he now saying not to be restrained?

Shen Tang reacted, her mind instantly clearing up, and she secretly shifted closer to the car door.

"Um... thank you..."

【The money for deleting those hot searches, shouldn't need to be deducted from my monthly pay right...】

Gu Huaian's face instantly darkened.

This woman really was, didn't think broadly at times she should, yet thought too broadly at times she shouldn't.

He deliberately didn't explain, watching Shen Tang's expression continuously change, her heart tangled up.

The car arrived at the house. He Uncle stood at the entrance, and seeing Shen Tang and Gu Huaian arrive one after the other, he felt very gratified in his heart.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could see Young Master or Young Miss.

Tao Sister came jogging out, her fat body jiggling as she ran.

"Oh my, Madam are you alright?" Tao Sister said, before looking Shen Tang up and down.

Shen Tang smiled: "I'm fine, sorry to worry you."

"As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine." Only then did Tao Sister breathe a sigh of relief.

She pulled Shen Tang towards the house. "Quick, drink some ginger tea as prevention."

Shen Tang carefully said: "Sister Tao, I've already drunk some..."

"No problem, you can drink more of this stuff, I added a lot of ginger you know!"

Shen Tang's smile instantly vanished from her face.

【Who in the world invented this ginger tea!】
