Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Spending the Weekend Together
After they finished eating, Sheng Tang helped clean up the dishes, then awkwardly told her grandmother, "I want to stay at the Gu Family’s place for two days this weekend because my senior wants to help me with my math. The end-of-term exams are coming up, and I’m afraid I can’t keep up with the math."
"Go ahead," her grandmother said nonchalantly, "We’ve met that kid, he’s nice."
Sheng Tang was overjoyed, "Will Mom and Dad agree?"
"Why wouldn’t they?" her grandmother laughed, "Studies are important."
Her grandmother washed the dishes and then told Sheng Tang’s parents about it.
Professor Sheng and his wife were momentarily stunned.
The grandmother said, "They’re just reviewing their schoolwork together; it’s nothing major. Let Tangtang go. She needs to come back after school on Monday."
Since the elder spoke, Sheng Sidong and his wife couldn’t refute and had to agree.
Sheng Tang hugged her grandmother’s waist with joy, "Grandma, I love you the most!"
The next day, Gu Shiting drove over himself, his bodyguard in the back seat, to pick up Sheng Tang at the foot of the building.
This time, he didn’t just wait in the car but came upstairs and knocked on the door.
Although he was very reserved and it was clear he wasn’t very adept at dealing with people, he tried to be as polite as possible.
"Uncle, Aunt, Grandma, I will take good care of Tangtang," he said.
Her grandmother smiled, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Yes," he replied.
"Then sit for a while; Tangtang is almost ready," her grandmother said.
At this time, Sheng Tang had already packed her backpack, not just with her books but also with a change of clothes.
She waved, "I’m off now."
She and Gu Shiting went downstairs together. In the elevator, she asked him, "Why did you come up?"
"I was afraid your parents would be unhappy," Gu Shiting answered.
After all, he needed to get in the good graces of his future in-laws; what if they thought he was rude and didn’t like him, and didn’t want to marry Tangtang to him?
This little trick he had, he didn’t want to tell Sheng Tang.
"Well done," she nodded in satisfaction and gently patted his hand.
Whenever he and Sheng Tang were together, their physical contact felt very natural.
Gu Shiyan had seen it and was particularly envious. Once, she had also patted Gu Shiting’s hand, but his face changed immediately; he wasn’t used to being touched by others.
He could only get used to Sheng Tang.
"Are your parents home today?" Sheng Tang asked again.
Gu Shiting shook his head, "No, they’re very busy at the end of the year. My sister has also gone to Beijing."
Sheng Tang gave an "oh," "So it’s just the two of us?"
Her seemingly innocent words made Gu Shiting’s thoughts run wild.
Just the two of them, indeed.
"I can tell the servants to leave," Gu Shiting said.
"Why?" Sheng Tang asked.
Gu Shiting: "...."
Sheng Tang: "...."
They both realized, after a pause, that they weren’t thinking the same thing.
On the way, Sheng Tang recalled Gu Shiting’s words and couldn’t help but chuckle; whereas Gu Shiting was so embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it, focusing on driving without responding to Sheng Tang.
The car arrived at the Gu Family Villa, and Sister Chen served water to Sheng Tang.
"Young Master, Madam just came home and is resting upstairs," Sister Chen said.
Gu Shiting: "...."
His often-never-home mother had suddenly come back today, truly throwing a wrench in the works without warning.
Gu Shiting helplessly waved his hand.
The dining room downstairs was prepared for their use, as they always did their homework there.
Sheng Tang took out her textbooks, and the servant brought up some fruit and snacks before leaving them alone.
Gu Shiting explained the exercises to her little by little.
For any parts she didn’t understand, he repeatedly explained them two or three times until Sheng Tang comprehended everything.
Without realizing it, the entire morning had passed.
