Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 511 The Childe in the Tang Family Lives Off A Girl 78

In the evening, they take Zeng Xue to a Michelin-starred restaurant for steak, whose chef is said to be very famous and has ever cooked for the President.

“Yummy!” Zeng Xue is particularly satisfied with the food and feels that spending a thousand dollars on a steak is worth it.

A couple is sitting at a table next to them, who turn out to be a senior husband and a young wife. The man is taking care of his wife the entire time, cutting the steak into small pieces for her. Gungun sees the scene and yells that Wuyou should cut the steak for him too. Wuyou gets halfway through the cut before she feels it is wrong.

“Aren’t you supposed to cut it for Zeng Xue?” While Zeng Xue goes to the bathroom, Wuyou reminds him, “You should show it at this time. Girls will think you’re considerate.”

Gungun looks at her, “I’m not considerate at all. So why do I need to pretend?”

“...Then do you want to go after her or not?”

“Yes!” Gungun takes a sip of champagne, “I’ll take her for fun later after dinner. So you go home first.”

Wuyou opens her mouth.

Gungun asks knowingly, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Take care of yourselves and don’t go anywhere unsafe.” Wuyou bows her head as she eats food.

When she finishes her meal, she volunteers that she has to leave beforehand. Gungun is eager to catch up with her as he watches her drive away. He then looks at Zeng Xue with a very disgusted look.

Zeng Xue says, “In fact, I’m unwilling to be with you.”

She feels that being with Wuyou is better than being with a wretched man like Lang Xuanyuan.

“What qualifications do you have to dislike me? I read online yesterday that the idol of yours wasn’t generous while filming a show. He even made a female star fall down,” Gungun snaps, “I wonder why you have such a poor sight.”

Zeng Xue is furious, “What do you know? That woman loves to speculate with male celebrities. She was deliberately throwing herself at Xiguang. My Xiguang wouldn’t fall for it!”

“How do you know?” Gungun sneers, “It sounds like you were there.”

“I was there,” Zeng Xue says instead, “I was there when that episode of the show was filmed. And I saw it clearly that the woman was doing it on purpose.”

Gungun says, “It’s not like you’re going to be there for whatever show he’s filming...”

“Of course! I’ll go whenever I can.”

Fangirls are terrible...

“You lied to Wuyou about taking me out for fun. Where are we going now?”

“It’s all a lie. I’ll send you back to the hotel now.”

Zeng Xue disagrees and feels that Gungun just insulted her idol. In that case, she wants to punish Gungun and asks him to take her to the famous bar street here named Lan Kwai Fong.

“I’m going home tomorrow if you don’t take me there!”

Gungun is speechless.

In that case, he will just take her there.

So the two of them go to visit the bar. As they are both young adults and it is the first time for them to be in a foreign bar, the bartender sees how young they are and requests to check their passports to make sure they are over 18 before giving them the drinking menu.

Gungun specially chooses a high-class bar, where the customers are mostly the social elites hanging out in Wall Street. The two of them are like kids sneaking in. Even so, their moods aren’t affected.

They drink signature cocktails, listen to singers’ singing, and tip a senior sister who is a great jazz dancer. The senior sister even dances an extra dance for them.

All in all, they have a great time and don’t leave the bar until almost midnight. It seems that it will be somewhat unreasonable if nothing happens to them over the night. As soon as they go out of the bar, they encounter a fight involving several persons. One of them bumps into Gungun and Gungun pushes him with his hand. Then the man is motionless...

Wuyou is circling in the living room. She wants to call Gungun and asks if he isn’t going to come back. However, she wonders if it is inappropriate. As she is struggling, the phone rings.

“Hello, this is the police station, it’s your friend...”

An hour later, Wuyou arrives at the police station and sees Gungun sitting listlessly in the corner by himself.

The cop asks, “Are you his sister?”

Wuyou nods.

“Oh! It’s okay now. We just checked the surveillance. The guy fell and had a heart attack. It has nothing to do with your brother. You can take him back.”

After Wuyou signs off and leads Gungun out of the police station, he hugs her as soon as he gets in the car.

“I’m so angry. I had been telling them that it had nothing to do with me. And they still took me in.”

Wuyou touches his head to comfort him, “Why are you here alone? Where’s Zeng Xue?”

“She said she didn’t do it and it had nothing to do with her. Moreover, it would be a problem if she went into the police station and went back home with a criminal record. So she went back to the hotel on her own.” Gungun lifts his head up and looks at Wuyou with an aggrieved face, “I was in there by myself for almost two hours. And there were two drunks trying to bully me before you came.”

Wuyou’s face doesn’t look good, “Did she just leave you behind?”

“Yes.” Gungun hugs her again and rubs against her arms, “Let’s get back to the house. I’m sleepy.”

Wuyou’s look is cold all the way home. When she gets home, she lets Gungun take a shower and they will continue their discussion after that.

“You call Zeng Xue and tell her to come to the house for a meal tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Gungun yawns, “Goodnight!”

He goes back to his room and then calls Zeng Xue excitedly.

“Let me tell you. Wuyou is very angry. She asks you to come to the house for a meal tomorrow!”

Zeng Xue is speechless.

“You made me leave. I had nothing to do with it!”

Gungun says proudly, “How clever of me. You should remember to keep acting like a selfish and shameless girl tomorrow to make Wuyou think you’re not good enough for me.”

“...I think you’re perfectly capable of acting to be selfish and shameless. It is just in your genes.”

“Don’t forget that who helped you be enrolled in the Film Academy. Besides, do you want to sign a contract with my family’s company or not?” Gungun changes his tone, “We’re mutually beneficial. Moreover, it doesn’t matter how Wuyou thinks of you, right?”

Zeng Xue rolls her eyes, “Then you promise that she won’t get mad and hit me, right?”

“She won’t.” Gungun assures her, “You’re so weak. She won’t hit you.”

Zeng Xue slants her eyes.

But she is still scared. Before she visits Wuyou the next day, she makes a special trip to the supermarket to buy fruits. Moreover, she brings a dessert with her.

“We have all the stuff at home. You’re polite.” Wuyou invites her in, “We’re eating fried noodles today. I wonder if you like it.”

Zeng Xue hurriedly says, “Senior Wuyou, the food you cook is delicious. I like whatever you cook.”

Wuyou gives her a faint look, “Gungun is walking the rabbit in the backyard. You should go and find him.”

“Alright...”

The grass has grown lush again in the backyard. The rabbit is hopping around there, taking a bite occasionally and then pooping a few times. Gungun is sitting under the eaves to cool off. Seeing Zeng Xue come over, he gives her a look.

“I think Wuyou is angry!” Zeng Xue looks torn, “She must have blamed me for leaving you alone at the police station last night.”

Gungun picks up a piece of watermelon from the small table beside him and hands it to her, “Anyone else will be angry about this kind of thing! It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if she likes you or not. The only thing that is important is that she’s angry because of me.”

“In fact...” Zeng Xue sighs, “Why don’t you just go and ask Wuyou if she likes you or not.”

“I have asked her thousands of times, okay?” Gungun gives her a blank stare, “If I ask her, she’ll say she likes me. But that look in her eyes isn’t right.”

Zeng Xue asks, “How is the look in her eyes?”

“Anyway, it is not an affectionate stare.” Gungun takes a bite of the watermelon, “Do you think I’m willing to make such a big scene? Anyway, things have come to this point. You should be more amazing later. Do not slow me down.”

After eating, Gungun takes the initiative to wash the dishes, leaving Wuyou and Zeng Xue to chat in the living room.

“Senior Wuyou, you went to the police station to pick up Gungun last night, right?” Seeing that Wuyou doesn’t speak for a long time, Zeng Xue has to start on her own.

Wuyou looks at her faintly, “The police called me.”

“It surely is him who told the police to call you,” Zeng Xue says with a disgusted face, “It’s not a big deal. He could have signed it by himself and solved the issue. Instead, he made you run over there in the middle of the night.”

Wuyou’s face becomes even colder, “I could have not gone there if you had stayed.”

“How could I stay?” Zeng Xue is crying in her heart. However, she adds instead, “If I leave a criminal record or something, I’ll have trouble returning to Hua Country and have trouble with my visa later.”

“So you just left him alone at the police station.” Wuyou looks at her, “Do you think it’s appropriate?”

“How come it’s inappropriate...?” Zeng Xue stammers, “What’s wrong with him... He’s a man. What’s wrong with him staying at the police station for a while? I’m a girl. And it will be inappropriate for me to be there.”

Wuyou frowns, “You guys are classmates, right? He likes you and is courting you. You know that, right?”

“He likes me and I have to like him back, huh?” Zeng Xue rolls her eyes, “On what ground? I’ve heard that a lot of people at the school used to like you, Senior Wuyou. Did you like them back?”

“That’s different...” Wuyou pauses.

“How come they are different?” Zeng Xue grins, “You can’t force it when it comes to this kind of thing like love. Do you have someone you like, Senior Wuyou?”

Wuyou is flabbergasted and doesn’t know what to say for half a day. Her mind is buzzing all of a sudden. After a few seconds, she calms down again and her eyes become much colder.

“Of course it’s different. You know exactly what benefits you’ve taken.”

It is Zeng Xue’s turn to be confused, “What... What do you mean?”

“Since Gungun is pursuing you, your father isn’t forcing you to marry and also promises you that you can go to study in the Film Academy. When you graduate and are engaged in the entertainment industry later, you’ll also have to sign a contract with the entertainment company under the charge of Lang Consortium. You’ve gotten so much from Gungun. In that case, it is quite justifiable that you should accompany him to go to jail, not to mention accompanying him to the police station.”

Zeng Xue is dumbfounded as her mind is in chaos. She doesn’t expect that Wuyou will know everything!

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, you’ve got all these benefits and yet you don’t want to pay at all.” Wuyou looks at her with cold eyes, “Do you think it’s appropriate?”

“But... But...” Zeng Xue stammers for half a day and can’t come out with a sentence.

She anxiously curses in her heart, “Lang Xuanyuan, you are an idiot. Why don’t you come out?”

“Wuyou...” Seeing that Zeng Xue is panicked, Gungun has to come out to ease the situation, “Don’t say that. After all, I like her. I like her so much that I am willing to do anything for her.”

Zeng Xue’s face looks stiff. She feels that she deserves to be beaten up by Wuyou today.

Gungun continues, “That’s how it is when you like someone! You won’t ask for anything in return. Nor will you pay attention to what you have given. I like her and I want her to be happy. As long as she’s good, it doesn’t matter how I will be.”

“Crack!” Wuyou pushes the table all of a sudden and stands up.

Zeng Xue shivers in fear. Gungun is no better than her, fearing that Wuyou will beat her.

“Did... Did I say something wrong?”

Wuyou doesn’t say anything and goes upstairs straightforwardly.
