Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Hoping the Daughter-in-law is a Bit Foolish
Sheng Tang was indeed sleeping deeply, and it wasn’t until she felt a dry mouth that she woke up.
Before they went to sleep, they were clearly on opposite sides of the bed, but when she woke up, she was entirely in Gu Shiting’s arms.
Sheng Tang didn’t know if she had such a habit, but it seemed like every time she slept with Gu Shiting, she would wake up in his arms.
As soon as she moved, it also woke Gu Shiting.
"What time is it?" Sheng Tang’s eyes were still half-squinted as she found the water bottle on the table, forcefully twisted off the cap, and gulped down a mouthful.
Gu Shiting grabbed his phone from the nightstand and checked the time: "12:53."
Sheng Tang’s brain struggled to function; it seemed like she had slept for less than seven hours.
She groggily went to the bathroom and came back to continue sleeping.
But Gu Shiting couldn’t go back to sleep.
Sheng Tang, taking another nap, slept for another hour and a half.
This time when she woke up, Gu Shiting was no longer in her room.
The time had reached past two in the afternoon.
If she continued to sleep, she might have trouble sleeping at night.
While brushing her teeth, Sheng Tang felt her stomach was very empty, experiencing a sort of anxious hunger typical of low blood sugar.
She quickly freshened up, tied her hair into a casual ponytail without bothering to comb it, and went downstairs to eat.
When she got downstairs, she found Gu Shiting and Mr. Gu sitting in the living room.
"Tangtang is awake?" Mr. Gu smiled.
Sheng Tang felt a bit embarrassed: "Overslept."
"It’s the weekend, it doesn’t matter," Mr. Gu laughed.
But Gu Shiting had a strange expression, seemingly awkward and a bit annoyed.
Sheng Tang glanced at him.
But he didn’t look at Sheng Tang, his gaze wandered.
"I’m hungry, I’ll go check the kitchen for something to eat," Sheng Tang said.
Mr. Gu nodded.
As soon as she left, Gu Shiting let out a sigh of relief.
"...Did you understand what I was saying?" Mr. Gu asked Gu Shiting after Sheng Tang left.
Gu Shiting looked even more unhappy: "That’s not the case."
"You need to understand," Mr. Gu said, "At any time, be safe and avoid pregnancy, maintain hygiene to prevent illness, that’s what leads to a healthy relationship."
Gu Shiting: "..."
He angrily stood up and chased after Sheng Tang to the kitchen, thinking his father was unreasonable.
He always thought he had grown up, fallen in love with Sheng Tang, and become a normal man.
But what he thought about most was how to kiss Sheng Tang, not to be intimate with her.
Today his father said so much, making Gu Shiting very uneasy.
He hadn’t even gotten a kiss, and now he had another worry; everyone in his family were totally useless!
If he started fantasizing about those things, what would he do next? That would make him very lewd!
No one understood Young Master Gu’s troubles.
Sheng Tang sat at the small dining table in the kitchen, eating the fried dumplings prepared by the chef.
"... The meal will take a while, do you want to eat the fried dumplings?" Sheng Tang said, her mouth full of dumplings, speaking unclearly.
Gu Shiting shook his head and picked up the plate in front of her: "Let’s eat outside, it’s crowded here in the kitchen."
Sheng Tang nodded.
Gu Shiting, like Sheng Tang, hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch. Though he wasn’t hungry, he specifically waited for Sheng Tang.
The dishes in the kitchen were all prepared, several chefs started cooking, making the food very quickly.
In just ten minutes, the table was filled with a variety of dishes.
The fried dumplings had filled Sheng Tang’s stomach, and she was no longer urgently hungry. While eating, she casually chatted with Gu Shiting: "What did your father say earlier?"
Gu Shiting’s face changed for a moment, like someone stepped on his tail.
He fumbled around, dropping his chopsticks on the floor.
"N-nothing," Gu Shiting said, ringing the bell to ask the kitchen for another pair of chopsticks.
Sheng Tang had only asked casually, and his reaction made her even more curious.
"Tell me, what did he say?" Sheng Tang asked with interest, "Is it related to me?"
Gu Shiting: "..."
He had always been proud of Sheng Tang’s cleverness, but at this moment, he wished his wife could be a bit more foolish, not so sharp.
