Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Heartache

Tang Chuxia’s smile faltered; she knew she shouldn’t have let Gu Beihuai stay around last night.

He’s such a clever person, the kind who can easily outsmart the main villain in a book, how could he not notice?

She could only say she was unlucky.

"Oh dear, you saw wrong!"

Tang Chuxia planned to deny it to the end.

Gu Beihuai: "I don’t have a vision problem! And my night vision is particularly good!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

"If you dare to say anything, I’ll tell them you slept with me. Let’s see if Aunt Hong will break your legs!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

She was shameless enough.

Even able to say such things so casually.

"Besides, if anyone finds out, I’ll say you not only had an affair with me but also made me lose a child. You’ll never get a wife in this life!"

Tang Chuxia intensified her threat.

Gu Beihuai: ...

He gritted his teeth and pointed at Tang Chuxia: "Don’t you have any shame?"

Tang Chuxia laughed cheekily: "In front of you, I don’t need any!"

Gu Beihuai took a deep breath to calm down his overwhelming emotions, "Fine, you’re ruthless. I won’t say anything!"

But he still felt uneasy about it, after all, the situation arose because of him.

"However, if you’re feeling unwell, don’t you dare hide it from me!"

Tang Chuxia smiled brightly: "I definitely won’t hide it from you, besides, I’ll need you to help treat me!"

Gu Beihuai was speechless to the extreme. He strongly suspected that Tang Chuxia was deliberately teasing him, yet the circumstances forced him to doubt the authenticity.

"But you didn’t see clearly enough. If you did, you would have realized that at the time, it wasn’t just a case of breathing apnea but also a longing for you!"

Tang Chuxia spoke without restraint, never sparing any effort to tease Gu Beihuai.

"If you truly pity me, how about letting me sleep with you once?"

She looked pitifully at Gu Beihuai: "After all, my biggest wish before dying is to sleep with you?"

Gu Beihuai: ...

He rubbed his temples, not wanting to engage with her.

Simply unreasonable.

If no one had come over, Tang Chuxia might have said even bolder and more direct things.

But little did she know, these words did have an impact on Gu Beihuai. It’s just that he was too exhausted to fully comprehend them.

After receiving orders to return and rest, leaving others to continue digging, Gu Beihuai pulled Tang Chuxia away.

He didn’t want to bear the blame for Tang Chuxia’s near-death experience.

After they left, many people came to where they had stood, all whispering to each other.

Simply because Tang Chuxia’s clean face was too dazzling, and Gu Beihuai was also strikingly handsome. Standing together, they seemed harmonious even without trying.

However, the gossip didn’t affect Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai in the slightest.

Only when Tang Chuxia encountered Tang Wanqiu and Hu Mingcheng, the dawn had already broken, and the cultural troupe was preparing to perform, bringing some solace to the disaster victims who were just rescued.

Initially, Tang Chuxia didn’t notice Tang Wanqiu, but Hu Mingcheng, seeing her with Gu Beihuai, couldn’t stay normal.

"Tang Chuxia, didn’t you say you only like me?" Hu Mingcheng asked through clenched teeth.

Stopped and questioned, Tang Chuxia immediately circled around Hu Mingcheng as if observing a rare animal, then said speechlessly, "Big brother, is there something wrong with your head? If so, the People’s Hospital neurology department can definitely give you a satisfying answer!"

Hu Mingcheng: ...

Hu Mingcheng wasn’t quite used to Tang Chuxia’s sharp tongue.

After all, from the original owner’s viewpoint, Hu Mingcheng was a fiancé, and she was more accommodating and yearning towards him.

Yet, Tang Chuxia utterly despised men like Hu Mingcheng.

If he wholeheartedly sided with Tang Wanqiu, Tang Chuxia might admire him somewhat, but now he wanted both Tang Wanqiu and Tang Chuxia’s affection.

A consummate scumbag.

The original owner might have tolerated him, but Tang Chuxia wouldn’t.

After circling Hu Mingcheng once, Tang Chuxia leaned brightly on Gu Beihuai’s shoulder and asked, "Brother Beihuai, did someone just speak?"

A hint of amusement flickered in Gu Beihuai’s eyes, yet he didn’t let Tang Chuxia down, "I heard nothing!"

Tang Chuxia was very satisfied with Gu Beihuai’s cooperation and sweetly smiled while holding his arm, "I said so, I only heard a dog barking just now! How can someone have such a foul mouth, trying to be a lord when the Qing dynasty’s over!"

Hu Mingcheng’s face looked worse. He thought Tang Chuxia would still have feelings for him, as she always had, but unexpectedly, she spoke so.

What made it worse was Tang Chuxia’s attitude.

It was outright challenging his bottom line.

"You’ll regret this!" Hu Mingcheng ground out through gritted teeth, and Tang Chuxia suddenly went cold, "Did I give you face?"

She glanced around, an idea suddenly came to her.

She nudged Gu Beihuai: "Go wait for me over there!"

Gu Beihuai realized Tang Chuxia was definitely plotting something, and for the first time, didn’t try to stop but wanted to see what she was up to.

After he stepped back a few paces, he saw Tang Chuxia cupping her hands around her mouth and shouting to the surroundings, "Come take a look; someone here is not helping with disaster relief but is slandering others!"

Hu Mingcheng was astounded at Tang Chuxia’s brazenness, but what he didn’t expect was that no one initially believed it. Yet, many people gathered, seeing Tang Chuxia shouting, without caring if it was true or not, started reprimanding Hu Mingcheng.

Some got so agitated, they even threw things at him.

It was truly an extreme embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Tang Chuxia was already fleeing with Gu Beihuai.

"Do you dislike him that much?"

Gu Beihuai was a bit skeptical about Tang Chuxia’s behavior. After all, it wasn’t just a day or two that she had been around Hu Mingcheng. Over the years, everyone knew Tang Chuxia insisted on marrying Hu Mingcheng.

"Dislike is putting it mildly, I’m utterly sickened by him, and only someone as brainless as Tang Wanqiu would fancy him!"

She finished her sentence, then looked at him as if he were a lunatic.

She touched her face in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Beihuai pointed at her nose and said, "You used to run around Hu Mingcheng too!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

She suddenly clung to his arm and leaned close, whispering, "Are you jealous?"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Her gaze was so direct, no words were needed to understand the meaning.

Luckily, someone called them over to help at that moment, and Tang Chuxia led Gu Beihuai over.

The two probably didn’t realize how ambiguous their actions were, but everyone watching showed an expression of ’as expected.’

"Young comrade, can your body still hold up?"

A supervisor looked at Tang Chuxia with concern.

Tang Chuxia was about to say she was fine, but Gu Beihuai beat her to it and said, "She can’t hold up!"

Tang Chuxia: (⊙o⊙)... Is he worried about me?
