Chapter 120: Chapter 120 I Only Have You in My Thoughts

"Was it fun??"

Tang Chuxia let go, and Tang Wanqiu nearly lost her balance.

She barely steadied herself before looking into Tang Chuxia’s eyes: "What do you mean?"

Tang Chuxia chuckled lightly, "What do I mean? Dear sister, why are you pretending to be clueless? I thought we already broke the facade at the funeral!"

She had already acted to such an extent, yet Tang Wanqiu continued her performance.

Tang Chuxia found it pointless.

"I don’t understand what you mean. I just want to come back and stay!" Tang Wanqiu’s gaze drifted away, deliberately avoiding Tang Chuxia’s eyes.

"Heh heh..."

Tang Chuxia laughed out loud.

"Tang Wanqiu, there’s truly no need. You lived with Grandpa and Grandma at the old house, and it’s not like you’re disconnected from everything. Why put on such an ignorant act?"

Tang Wanqiu’s expression had already changed.

"Although I don’t know why you hate me so much, your foolishness is a bit too exaggerated. The character has collapsed, sister!"

Tang Chuxia’s red lips parted slightly, and the words she spoke were quite blunt.

Tang Wanqiu suddenly started laughing.

All traces of the earlier breakdown with tears and sobs were gone, although her mother did give her a swollen face, now looking somewhat slack, but the coldness in her eyes was now clearly visible.

She rubbed her wrist, her gaze falling into the courtyard, surprisingly no one from the Tang Family had come out, only Tang Chuxia stood at the door.

It was unclear if the Tang Family had too much confidence in Tang Chuxia or if Tang Chuxia was overly arrogant.

Tang Wanqiu retracted her smile and at the same time pulled something from her pocket, swiftly aiming it at Tang Chuxia’s neck.

The excitement on the corners of her mouth had emerged, but it halted as the needle did not pierce further when touching Tang Chuxia’s skin.

Tang Wanqiu turned her head with an extremely strange posture to look at the person stopping her, her face still held an expression of excitement, but her eyes already swept by shock.

"Sister, you’re too confident!"

Tang Chuxia tilted her head away from the needle, pinching Tang Wanqiu’s nape with a reverse grip, speaking before squeezing her unconscious.

Tang Wanqiu slowly fell down, reluctantly closing her eyes.

Gu Beihuai clapped his hands, "How did you know I would intervene?"

Tang Chuxia’s smile was radiant as she placed her hands behind her back and moved her head closer to Gu Beihuai, "Brother Beihuai wouldn’t bear to let anything happen to me!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Again, he forgot that this woman had changed.

Seeing Gu Beihuai not respond, she didn’t mind. Instead, as footsteps approached from the courtyard, she tiptoed closer to Gu Beihuai’s ear, her warm breath washing over his earlobe.

Gu Beihuai thought she was going to say something, but she merely brushed past his cheek and upon landing, her lips lightly touched his Adam’s apple.

In the subzero night, the touch of her thirty-six-degree warmth felt burning to the core.

Gu Beihuai hastily tried to grab her, but Tang Chuxia had playfully skipped away before Tang Jianbing rushed out, blinking at Gu Beihuai first, an unexplainable emotion swiftly engulfing his heart.

His open mouth closed once again, allowing only his clenched fists to mask his agitated heart.

Tang Jianbing observed Tang Wanqiu lying on the ground, glanced at Gu Beihuai and Tang Chuxia, the orange streetlights casting a shadow on Gu Beihuai’s cold, hard face, making one think he might hit someone at any moment!

"Killed?"

Tang Jianbing pressed two fingers under Tang Wanqiu’s nose, confirmed she was still breathing, and sighed in relief.

Tang Chuxia wrapped the syringe in a handkerchief taken from Tang Wanqiu’s hand and handed it to Tang Jianbing to see.

"I was acting in self-defense, we need to find out what’s in this as soon as possible!"

Tang Jianbing instantaneously understood, wanting to kick Tang Wanqiu in anger, but against an unconscious woman, and with his good upbringing, he couldn’t do it.

Madam Tang also guessed what happened and slapped Father Tang across the face in anger.

Covering his face, Father Tang dared not speak although furious: ... Why hit me!

Gu Beihuai extended his hand, "I’ll find someone to analyze it and give you the results by tomorrow!"

Tang Chuxia didn’t hesitate, handing it over directly!

Tang Jianbing tried to stop but was too late, having no choice but to point at Tang Wanqiu and say, "What about her?"

"Do you dare let her stay at home?"

Tang Jianbing shook his head vigorously, who would dare with such a dangerous person!

Madam Tang shouted, "Call the police and have her arrested!"

Father Tang hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "Minglan, she’s still a child, arresting her will completely ruin her reputation!"

Another slap landed on Father Tang’s face from Madam Tang, "You’re worried about her reputation? Why don’t you consider that she almost hurt Xiaxia!"

Feeling utterly embarrassed being slapped in front of the children, Father Tang had little dignity left.

Yet, seeing Tang Jianbing and Tang Chuxia’s threatening eyes, he could only endure it, "But we can’t call the police, just tie her up and throw her in the kitchen, ask her what happened when she wakes up!"

Madam Tang noticed the neighbors peeking and told Tang Jianbing, "Bring her inside and tie her up, Xiaxia, you all go back inside to rest!" Holding onto Father Tang’s arm, she dragged him into the house.

Everyone obediently followed the instructions, except Tang Chuxia who sidled up to Gu Beihuai, "Are you worried about me?"

Gu Beihuai pressed a finger to Tang Chuxia’s forehead, stopping her from getting closer.

"What’s going on with your sister?"

He finally asked, and Tang Chuxia nudged his finger, "Just what you see. But I think there’s something off about her today, exposing herself voluntarily, when something abnormal happens, there must be something supernatural!"

She remembered the book’s description of Tang Wanqiu, definitely not acting like this idiot, or she wouldn’t have become the female protagonist in a period drama, especially of the career-woman type.

So what drove her to act stupidly and take action?

Tang Chuxia couldn’t find an answer for now and had to put it aside.

"Brother Beihuai, I need a favor. Please investigate Hu Mingcheng’s recent contacts for me!"

"Why, can’t forget him?"

The touch of danger in his tone was acutely perceived by Tang Chuxia.

Tang Jianbing called for her from the yard, Tang Chuxia dared not linger, whispering so only Gu Beihuai could hear, "The only one I can’t forget is you!"

She bounced away.

Gu Beihuai watched her retreating figure, even wrapped in a bulky padded jacket, he knew that beneath it was a slender waist that fitted his hand perfectly.

Only after a long while did he lower his gaze to the needle in his hand, an icy expression forming.

It reminded him of another matter, prompting him to leave quickly.

Still uneasy about Tang Chuxia acting impulsively, he sought out Wu Haipeng for help.

"No way, Brother Huai, you want me to stakeout Xiaxia?"

Wu Haipeng thought he heard wrong.

Gu Beihuai handed him two highly sought-after movie tickets.

"Are you going or not?"

Wu Haipeng looked at the tickets with disdain, "Why should a man like me go to watch a movie? You think I’m like Tang Jianjun?"

"I heard Dangdang really enjoys movies, especially this one!"

As Gu Beihuai finished speaking, Wu Haipeng immediately snatched the tickets, wearing a sycophantic grin.

"No problem, I’ll go, I’ll keep watch right now, not even a mouse will get into the Tang Family!"
