Chapter 579: 579 But they gave too much

Gu Yingzhou’s gaze towards Lin Tang deepened, his voice chilly.

"You’re aware it’s late?"

What should have been a pleasing deep voice now carried the chill of early winter.

Lin Tang remembered how she had repeatedly promised Gu Yingzhou she wouldn’t stay up late anymore, and she felt a wave of guilt.

She felt his pair of cool, calm black eyes wrap her up tightly like an impenetrable cocoon.

"Today was an accident..." Lin Tang tried her best to cover up.

Gu Yingzhou hummed in agreement, as if to say, "Today was an accident, life is full of accidents, so you weren’t intentionally doing it yesterday, the day before yesterday, or the day before the day before."

Thwack!

A transparent palm slapped on the face, leaving Lin Tang awkwardly touching her nose.

...There was no explanation.

She didn’t want to spend her days and nights in the research factory, but they offered her too much!

With the upper management providing professional books and mechanical equipment to help, and the Machinery Factory generously funding and awarding project bonuses...

What could she do? She could only accept!

Who would turn away from money?

Lin Tang couldn’t explain, she certainly didn’t want to give her partner the impression that she was greedy for money.

She immediately apologized, "...I was wrong."

Gu Yingzhou: "..."

On one side speechlessness, on the other side at a loss for words.

Seeing the young lady admitting her mistake so quickly, Gu Yingzhou’s stern face brightened like snow basking in the warm sun, a smile spilling out.

His face was full of helpless doting.

"You’re just taking advantage of my leniency towards you," he said softly, rubbing Lin Tang’s forehead.

Seeing Gu Yingzhou smile, Lin Tang wrapped her arms around his, leaning her weight onto him.

"You said it, not me."

Gu Yingzhou heard the little girl’s mumbling and sighed.

He felt like he’d exhaled all the air accumulated over the past twenty-something years in those short ten minutes or so.

He turned his back to Lin Tang and squatted down.

Then, turning his head towards her, he said, "Climb on, I’ll carry you back."

Lin Tang climbed on, hooking her legs around the young man’s waist.

Resting her face against his back, "I’ll take a quick nap, okay?"

Gu Yingzhou glanced sideways, seeing the dark shadows under the young girl’s eyes, his expression tinted with concern.

"Sleep," he said.

If he could, he would wish for Tangtang not to wear herself out like this.

But then.

He knew his little girl, with stars and the sea in her eyes, and a myriad of glows in her heart, would not be content to be confined within mere measurements.

For several days, Lin Tang had been getting up early and sleeping late; her body was already in rebellion.

Smelling the fresh scent of the man, she quickly fell asleep.

In sleep, the body has its own ideas.

Lin Tang’s head involuntarily leaned towards Gu Yingzhou’s neck.

Her warm breath, both warm and hot.

It was like a spider spirit weaving her web, with Gu Yingzhou trapped inside, unable to free himself for a long while.

He slightly turned his head, trying to avoid the tickling heat.

Whenever he dodged, the young girl unconsciously snuggled closer.

"...Don’t move~" she even murmured something softly.

Gu Yingzhou took a deep breath.

The next second, whatever he did, his arm moved slightly, Lin Tang moved from his back to his arms, now cradled in a princess hold.

Lin Tang opened her eyes, peering up from beneath her eyelids at Gu Yingzhou’s fine chin, yawned, and then closed her eyes again.

"We’re almost home," Gu Yingzhou whispered.

The street was empty of pedestrians by then, with only the regular sound of their footsteps.

A few minutes later.

Gu Yingzhou, holding Lin Tang, stopped at her front door.

He was about to wake up the girl in his arms when he suddenly heard a noise from inside the house.

His eyes flashed with a cold light.

Lin Tang was a light sleeper and heard it too, her eyes snapping open with a whoosh.

She patted Gu Yingzhou’s arm, signaling for him to put her down.

What kind of thief would dare to sneak into her place? He’s asking for death!

Barely touching the ground, Lin Tang approached silently and peered through the crack of the door into the courtyard.

Seeing the familiar figure inside, her eyes lit up.

She pushed the door open and entered.

"Third brother, you’re back!"

Lin Qingmu’s face lit up with joy at the sight of his sister, but as he tried to get up, his right leg throbbed with piercing pain, turning his face pale.

The pain reminded him of his shabby state, and he hastily looked away.

Lin Tang’s eyes were sharp; she instantly noticed the injury on his face.

"Third brother, what happened to your face?" she asked, crossing over to him with anger tinting her fair face.

Lin Qingmu was about to speak when a twinge of pain from the corner of his mouth made him grimace.

His face contorted.

Lin Tang’s heart ached terribly.

She hurried back to her room to fetch a bottle of medicine she had made and quickly applied it to her brother’s wounds.

Lin Qingmu, looking at his sister’s stern gaze, passively let her tend to him like a piece of wood.

For some inexplicable reason, he felt a touch of guilt.

"Ahem, sister, this medicine really works well."

Lin Tang glanced at him emotionlessly and asked stiffly, "When did you get back? Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry, not hungry at all," Lin Qingmu said with a pleasing smile, afraid of upsetting his sister and being ignored by her.

He had miscalculated this time.

Indeed, the old proverb ’Do not flaunt wealth’ held its wisdom.

He had only transported goods a few times before he was targeted...

No sooner had he spoken than a sinister stomach grumble suddenly resounded.

Lin Qingmu stared blankly at his own belly, shaking his head, "...It wasn’t me."

He had stuffed his stomach; it couldn’t possibly be grumbling in hunger.

From the direction of the vegetable garden, a ghostly male voice declared, "It was my stomach that growled."

Lin Tang had already noticed an extra man in the house; she looked at her third brother, waiting for his explanation.

Lin Qingmu picked up the cue, "This fellow is called Han Dan; he helped me out..."

If it hadn’t been for this big guy, he might not have escaped danger.

Han Dan kept a stoic face and corrected seriously, "It wasn’t helping you out; it was saving your life."

Lin Qingmu closed his eyes, feeling a wave of desperation inside.

Damn it!

He had just diverted Tangtang’s attention.

With that statement, wasn’t it like he was exposing his own vulnerabilities?

Such a bummer!

If Ning Mingda were here, he would probably be able to empathize with Lin Qingmu.

As a police second-generation who had been flogged because of a blunder by Han Dan, Ning Mingda would say: One doesn’t fear a god-like opponent but dreads a pig-like teammate.

Lin Tang swept her third brother a somber look and chuckled softly.

Still lying, another mark against you.

"Thank you for saving my third brother. Have a seat; I will go cook for you."

Gu Yingzhou, who had received several glares from Lin Qingmu, held Lin Tang back and said, "You wash and go back to sleep; I’ll cook."

After speaking, ignoring Lin Qingmu’s fuming gaze, he ruffled the young girl’s hair and headed straight for the kitchen.

"Tangtang, why weren’t you at home in the middle of the night? Where did you go? And what’s the deal with that guy? How come he seems more at home than I am?" Lin Qingmu asked with suppressed anger.

He had only been away for a little while; how did it seem like his sister had been led astray?

What is all this, so aggravating!

Lin Tang thought about the relationship she and Gu Yingzhou were discussing, which her third brother seemed not to know about, blinked, and said, "We’re talking about becoming official..."

Before she could finish, Lin Qingmu exploded.

His head exploded, his heart exploded, everything exploded into smithereens.
