"What, does he usually call you fat?"
"More than that. He tells to go on a night run, but then says I can’t seem to lose weight no matter how much I run. Frustrating, right?"
"Why does he put you down like that, what’s in it for him?" Yao Jie laughed, then turned to Gu Nuan, "Where do you live?"
"I live in the county town," Gu Nuan said.
Yao Jie then asked, "Are you renting a place by yourself now?"
"I live with my husband."
That statent reminded the two people in the car who already knew she was married.
Shaking her head, Yao Jie said, "Bring your husband over soti for us to et."
Gu Nuan thought that her husband might scare everyone if he showed up.
That sounded a bit too grand for Mr. Yebai.
"Sure," Gu Nuan said.
Yao Jie and Tang Qingzhong had no doubts, nor would they suspect that Gu Nuan’s husband was their boss’s son, because to them, Gu Nuan had made it seem like he was just an ordinary man.
Following Gu Nuan’s directions, Yao Jie pulled the car over near the residential area where Gu Nuan lived.
Looking at the high-end residential area across the street, Tang Qingzhong exclaid, "You and your husband live there?"
"Yeah, we’re renting," Gu Nuan answered.
"Rent must be a few thousand a month there," Tang Qingzhong, a financially savvy man who was always dealing with housing loans with his wife and selling properties, had certainly studied hos extensively. He had always believed that renting such high-end apartnts was sothing rich people did. For the working class, even moving a bit farther away to take loans for a house was more economical than renting such expensive places to live.
Yao Jie was also sowhat surprised, her thoughts aligning with Tang Qingzhong’s.
Those who rented here were generally considered high earners.
It was obvious that Gu Nuan herself wasn’t very financially sound, having just graduated and joined the company, she couldn’t possibly afford such an expensive rental without her husband’s contribution.
"My husband prefers smaller living spaces," Gu Nuan tried to find a more modest excuse for her own husband.
"The small apartnts here do have a very small area, so the price per square ter is comparable to gold." The two colleagues who sold properties clearly weren’t convinced by her explanation.
Gu Nuan had no choice but to reveal a bit more about her husband’s peculiar nature, "Actually, he has so odd habits."
At that mont, for so reason, her husband appeared from the residential area.
Yebai, looking as slinky as a dog, made Gu Nuan think his sense of sll was sowhat dog-like, for he noticed her getting out of the car from so far away, across the street.
Soon, his long legs sprinted towards her, just like Liu Xiang in a race.
Thinking of her husband as a big, white dog, he completely forgot his own identity, and even forgot there were other people around.
Before Gu Nuan could react, no, she couldn’t have anticipated his high intelligence suddenly turning into low, he was standing right in front of her.
"Where have you been?" Yebai had co ho to find her missing, naturally in a panicked rush, worrying about the inflammation Tang Sili ntioned that hadn’t subsided and could affect her recovery, needing rest.
Gu Nuan quickly gave him a look, signaling that there were people around.
Always doing as he pleased, Yebai didn’t bother to see who else was around.
Tang Qingzhong recognized him from his profile and voice, as the man who had rescued them on the rooftop before.
Now, this mysterious man had stepped out from the darkness into the sunlight, and it was truly surprising:
Tall, big, handso!
Yao Jie and Tang Qingzhong both had their eyes wide open, thinking that they had never expected Gu Nuan’s husband to be such a striking figure.
