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

Chapter 40

Shen Tang beating up the human traffickers became a trending topic.

The comments were mixed.

Some felt the human traffickers deserved to be beaten, even beaten to death.

Others felt that human traffickers have human rights too and shouldn't be beaten like that.

The two sides argued and eventually the side approving the beating prevailed.

Some also suspected this was all staged by Shen Tang to clear her name, since it seemed too coincidental.

How could she take on several big men alone? It was a bit implausible.

Fortunately many netizens had seen her strength on the deserted island reality show, so they knew Shen Tang was very strong.

Many celebrities who knew Shen Tang also vouched for her.

Instead, this gave Shen Tang the image of a powerful woman.

As for staging it, that was even more impossible. The officials even criticized her actions as reckless and dangerous.

Shen Tang was completely unaware of all this online.

The three people were taken back by Gu Huaian.

In the car, the three hung their heads low, not daring to make a sound.

As the ringleader who had almost lost the child, Shen Tang didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Gu Huaian moved slightly, and all three jumped in fright.

"We're sorry..."

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have believed them so readily."

"It's my fault for not watching my sister properly."

Seeing the three cowering like quails, Gu Huaian couldn't stay angry anymore.

"Remember this lesson. Bring your bodyguards when going out next time."

The three nodded eagerly.

Shen Tang sneakily glanced at Gu Huaian and seeing his normal expression, finally relaxed.

[The novels all say the CEOs are like human air conditioners, getting colder when angry. How come he didn't get colder just now?]

Gu Huaian was speechless for the countless time: "..."

Noticing Shen Tang was still thinking random irrelevant thoughts instead of reflecting seriously, he did get a little angry.

"And you, daring to take on several big men alone, do you really think you're invincible?"

"What if they had a knife, could you beat that?"

Shen Tang instantly lowered her head.

[I can't beat that but I can run! I was the school sprint champion!]

[Ow, it really did get colder! The novel didn't lie to me!]

Gu Huaian wearily massaged his brow.

Soon, they arrived home. To avoid worrying Gu Qingan, the four agreed to keep it from her.

At dinner, it was unusually quiet, though they ate like normal.

Gu Qingan put down her chopsticks. "Confess, what are you hiding from me?"

Shen Tang, Gu Anran, and Gu Wuyang looked towards Gu Huaian in unison, as if he had orchestrated it.

Gu Qingan looked over too, brows raised slightly. "Hm?"

"It's nothing, just a small mistake."

Gu Qingan didn't seem to believe it but didn't keep questioning either, to the relief of Shen Tang and the others.

Nothing could be done, Gu Qingan's aura was too powerful after all.

After dinner, as usual Shen Tang chatted and fooled around with her friends for a while.

That night, the two little ones ran to Shen Tang's room to sleep, hugging their pillows.

The bed was big and the three had plenty of space even lying together.

"Sis..."

"But Mom said to call you auntie!" Gu Anran said.

That's right, the two little ones had finally been ordered by Gu Qingan to stop that inappropriate form of address for Shen Tang.

Shen Tang didn't really mind, she had only wanted to annoy Gu Huaian before.

Gu Wuyang sighed, "Uncle really is robbing the cradle..."

"Who isn't saying that!"

"When no one's around, call me whatever you want. Call me auntie when there are people."

Even if they did call her that, it would only be for another two years.

Thinking they wouldn't see the little ones again after that, Shen Tang suddenly felt a little sour.

Could she find a nice sack to steal the two little family members away!

Upstairs, Gu Huaian and Gu Qingan sat together on the recliners, chatting quietly.

"Have you made up your mind about her?"

Gu Huaian didn't answer.

"That's good," Gu Qingan went on. "She's pretty cute."

She hadn't seen such a lively, special person in a long time. It made her feel younger too.

"And quite annoying."

Gu Qingan looked over teasingly, "Oh? Do tell?"

Gu Huaian swirled the red wine in his glass and downed it in one go. "It's late, Sis you should rest early too."

Seeing Gu Huaian leave, Gu Qingan clicked her tongue.

She looked up at the night sky, dotted with stars, the bright moon high overhead, but the person to appreciate it with her was gone.

...

The next morning, Shen Tang received a call from the company about changing her agent.

Wang Brother was gone, so all his artists had to be reassigned.

Because of Wang Brother's scandal, the company had taken a hit too, so no one wanted the hot potato that was Shen Tang, despite her recent redemption arc.

After all, none of the agents had completely clean hands, and resources weren't that easy to obtain.

Shen Tang happened to be free and bored, so went to the company in a T-shirt, sweatpants, and slippers.

In the elevator she encountered the female artist who had threatened her last time. Though Shen Tang didn't remember her name, she remembered her haughty lifted chin like a victorious rooster.

Now the woman looked down on Shen Tang disdainfully, stepping in arrogantly. "Shen Tang, what have you been reduced to?"

Shen Tang was puzzled. "???"

What was up with her?

"You're too sloppy, where's your image as a female artist?"

"No wonder all the company's agents don't want you. You really are useless mud that can't be molded. You'll stay like this from now on while I stand at the peak looking down on you."

Fine fine, look down from your peak, you're looking down now, could you clean your nostrils?

Shen Tang turned her face away. The female artist thought she was too upset to handle it and went on.

"But don't be jealous of me. If you beg me nicely, I might bring you along."

Shen Tang's expression was nearly cracking. She hadn't even responded yet this woman was going on a self-righteous monologue endlessly.

And without even starting anything, she was already imagining the distant future. Something was wrong with this woman's brain, she should be writing novels not acting.

"Yes, yes, you're right."

"Humph, Shen Tang are you admitting defeat? Kneel down now and kowtow to me, and I'll give you the livestream resource with the number one internet celebrity brother."

"Are you ok?" Shen Tang suspected this woman's brain had gone bad.

The woman did regret it after saying that. She had worked hard for that resource herself and wouldn't easily give it away.

"Forget it, someone like you would probably bankrupt the brand if you tried to sell anything. I have to be responsible to the merchants."

Shen Tang was speechless.

"Come from Dunhuang? So many murals."

"Just you can run your mouth? Blabbing on endlessly, my ears are calloused."

"Even if you're outspoken, you can't just spout crap!"

The female artist's mouth twisted in anger. "You, you..."

"What you me you!"

"I, I..." The woman was speechless from anger for a long time.

"What I, I. Excuse me, your big 37-inch face is blocking the way."

Shen Tang pushed her aside and walked out without looking back.

How annoying!
