Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Kissed

The one who definitely understands Gu Beihuai best is his own mother.

So when Mrs. Gu grabbed him by the nape of his neck, Gu Beihuai didn’t dare to make a run for it like Tang Chuxia.

"Mom, don’t say that, even if I wanted to marry Tang Chuxia, would she dare to marry me?"

Mrs. Gu was stumped.

With the relationship between Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai as it was, they had always lacked confidence when discussing marriage matters, solely because Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai were still at each other’s throats at this very moment.

Mrs. Gu awkwardly waved her hand, "Don’t worry about that, just remember what I’m telling you, you’re a man, how can you haggle over things with Xiaxia?"

Gu Beihuai agreed, but he just loved watching Tang Chuxia’s disheveled flight.

What’s that phrase again?

Joy brings grief.

Just as Gu Beihuai was preparing to trick Tang Chuxia again, she ran up to him, cupped his face, and planted a kiss right on his lips.

After kissing him, Tang Chuxia turned back to her mother, triumphantly shaking her head, "Mom, hit me again, and I’ll kiss him until he cries!"

Madam Tang clutched her chest, furious.

She must be here to collect a debt, right?

"You little wretch, what on earth are you trying to do? Force yourself on him like an overbearing warrior?"

Tang Chuxia shook her head, "Mom, you’re using the term wrong, I’m not the overbearing warrior, I’m forcing myself on the overbearing warrior!"

At that moment, Madam Tang gave up, leaning on her third sister-in-law’s shoulder, "See that? Ruined, her reputation, gone!"

The third sister-in-law, with cheeks aching from laughter, supported Madam Tang while secretly working out her cheek muscles, genuinely afraid that her cheeks would cramp from the muscle spasms.

"Auntie, if you look at it from another angle, this might not be such a bad thing!"

The third sister-in-law pointed at Gu Beihuai, "He’s grown up with Xiaxia as childhood sweethearts, and they know each other well. Even if Xiaxia completely has him whipped, wouldn’t that be better? At least he won’t be fickle, and even if he has any small schemes, Xiaxia will straighten them out clear as day!"

What seemed like a reasonable analysis was just a bunch of nonsense.

Madam Tang stayed quiet.

The third sister-in-law then pointed at Tang Chuxia, "Look at Xiaxia, with the way things are going, if she keeps this up, her marriage will become a major problem. If she stays unmarried, won’t that make you anxious?"

Madam Tang immediately decided, "Get married!"

Mrs. Gu agreed.

Gu Beihuai looked at Tang Chuxia’s shocked expression and was quite pleased.

That’s exactly what he wanted, to have her lift a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

As for the marriage matter, Gu Beihuai had thought it through long ago and he actually had a very good impression of the current Tang Chuxia. If he could marry her, that would be fine too.

Tang Chuxia clutched her chest, "Mom, aren’t you afraid I’ll bully Gu Beihuai to death?"

Madam Tang said, "Once you’re married, I can’t control you!"

Tang Chuxia raised her hand, "Mom, is there no room for discussion?"

Madam Tang pointed at Gu Beihuai, "You’ve tainted his reputation, is there still room for discussion? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"

Tang Chuxia touched her conscience, then shook her head very firmly, "Nope, it doesn’t hurt!"

Madam Tang fell silent and said to Mrs. Gu, "Hong, I’ve wronged you by giving birth to such a scourge. What should we do now? If you find this scourge too embarrassing, then I’ll accept Huai as my godson and we’ll get along like family from now on, letting this scourge fend for herself, how about that?"

Mrs. Gu waved her hands repeatedly, "What are you talking about? I’m quite fond of Xiaxia, I’d be overjoyed to have her as my daughter-in-law! If my stinky boy feels wronged, he can just roll back to the army to work. Xiaxia can live with us."

Mrs. Gu: ...

Tang Chuxia: ...

Gu Beihuai: Feeling like things might have gone too far.

Luckily, it was already the middle of the night. After all the commotion, everyone was tired, and they went home to sleep.

Before leaving, Gu Beihuai gestured to Tang Chuxia, and she got the message, shrinking her neck.

She’d been too showy for a moment, and now Gu Beihuai held a grudge.

Before going to bed, Tang Jianbing reminded Tang Chuxia, "Remember there’s still work to do, don’t play around too much!"

Third sister-in-law patted Tang Chuxia’s forehead, "Oh you, if your Third Brother finds out what you’ve done, I bet you’ll be in trouble!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

She had forgotten about that.

Sure enough, alcohol was a bad thing; it made her too uninhibited.

Now what should she do?

While lying in bed, Tang Chuxia was still sighing.

She felt like today she really missed out by not feeling up Gu Beihuai’s abs enough. Not to mention, she had no way to turn all those gold and silver treasures into cash; she could only let them sit.

A mix of emotions intertwined, she wanted to sleep cuddling a hunky guy.

But when she turned over, she fell asleep.

When Madam Tang came to tuck her in, she looked at Tang Chuxia’s sleeping face and couldn’t help but feel that her daughter had truly grown up.

She even knew about kissing now.

She was really thinking about getting married.

The chaos of the night finally ended.

The next day was the 29th day of the lunar year, one day away from the New Year. Every household was bustling about. Early in the morning, Tang Chuxia was woken up by Tang Jianbing to help check all the precious machines, then to power down in preparation for the New Year, with a plan to restart work after.

Previously, they wouldn’t dare do this, fearing that once stopped, they might not start again.

Tang Chuxia was dragged around several factories by Tang Jianbing all morning, receiving a bunch of red envelopes, following the custom.

"Brother, I think now we should go buy some New Year’s goods!" she said.

Tang Jianbing thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go buy some good stuff to take home, and by the way, take you to apologize to the Gu Family."

That was the main event for the day.

Tang Chuxia felt a massive headache coming on, she remembered everything about last night’s events, including her public kiss with Gu Beihuai.

Just thinking about it gave her the creeps.

"Can we not go?"

She tentatively asked, to which Tang Jianbing shook his head, "Do you think our mom would let you off the hook?"

Tang Chuxia sighed, "Fine, I’ll just bite the bullet!"

Back at home, Madam Tang had everything ready, and told Tang Chuxia to carry it.

Tang Chuxia grumbled discontentedly, "Although I was the one who kissed Gu Beihuai, it’s not like a big man like him lost a piece of flesh. Is all this fuss really necessary?"

Madam Tang smacked her back lightly, "Nonsense. What about men? If a man is kissed, he’s been taken advantage of. You’re a girl with no restraint, and we should forbid Huai from being dignified?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

They entered the Gu Family home, and Gu Nanzhi gave Tang Chuxia a thumbs up.

She practically wanted to make her an idol.

"I say you’re pretty bold, such a sacrifice to mess with my brother!"

Gu Nanzhi still firmly believed Tang Chuxia kissed Gu Beihuai just to get at her brother, even if they brought gifts over, she didn’t give it another thought.

The two mothers were chatting in the room while Tang Chuxia pulled Gu Nanzhi to a corner and whispered, "Zhizhi, there’s something I want to tell you, but you can’t get upset, okay?"
