Chapter 266: Chapter 266 No One Can Take You Away (7)

"What, does he usually call you fat?"

"More than that. He tells me 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 statement reminded the two people in the car who already knew she was married.

Shaking her head, Yao Jie said, "Bring your husband over sometime for us to meet."

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 exclaimed, "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 homes extensively. He had always believed that renting such high-end apartments was something 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 somewhat 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 apartments here do have a very small area, so the price per square meter 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 some odd habits."

At that moment, for some reason, her husband appeared from the residential area.

Yebai, looking as slinky as a dog, made Gu Nuan think his sense of smell was somewhat 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 come home to find her missing, naturally in a panicked rush, worrying about the inflammation Tang Sili mentioned 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, handsome!

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.
