Chapter 44: Qin Shu, You Have Never Asked Me for Anything

Su Tuantuan slammed the table opposite her with a resounding thud: "You're terrifying; your mouth keeps shouting about staying away from him, but when you're asleep, your body still wants him!"

"You're shameless! You're lusting after his body!"

The corners of Qin Shu's mouth twitched: "………"

Su Tuantuan took a sudden turn, clicking her tongue a few times: "But then again, even the top stars out there aren't as handsome as your scumbag husband Gu Tingyan, so you might as well sleep with him while you can."

"A top-tier handsome man like him, if he went out to sell his services, he'd definitely be the number one star."

Hearing this, Qin Shu couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile; letting Gu Tingyan go out to sell his services, he really might become the number one star.

That face of his was, without a doubt, the best-looking, and few could compare to him.

"Rich women would all go crazy for him."

"So don't feel guilty; while you haven't divorced yet, sleep with him a few more times."

"Maybe once you're tired of sleeping with him, you won't like him anymore when you finally get divorced."

"You can also disgust Chu Sheng: 'Look, the man you're using is one I already got tired of playing with back in the day!'"

Qin Shu: "………"

She felt like something wasn't right, but somehow it also felt very logical.

A voice like thousand-year-old ice rang out from behind Qin Shu, filled with majesty: "Su Tuantuan!"

He, Gu Tingyan, was a man she was tired of playing with?

Hearing Gu Tingyan's terrifying voice, Su Tuantuan was scared out of her wits and screamed directly: "Ahhhhhhh!!! Mommy! I'm dead!"

Although Gu Tingyan was her best friend's husband, he was even more so Su Tuantuan's direct superior, the big boss.

The contract she signed was for ten years!

"Clack," Su Tuantuan was so scared she hung up the phone immediately.

For the rest of the day, she was on pins and needles, terrified of being summoned by Gu Tingyan's secretary and caught to be taken to the top-floor CEO's office.

To be honest, sometimes Su Tuantuan was quite intimidated by Gu Tingyan; this man was born incomparably noble, and the way he looked at people was like looking at trash with contempt.

The sense of superiority in his bones and his innate self-confidence were all nurtured by immense wealth and power.

Gu Tingyan stood at the door holding a plate of fruit, his face stern as he glared at Qin Shu: "Just listen to half of what was said just now."

"Forget the rest!"

Qin Shu: "??"

The first few sentences were Tuanzi telling her she might as well sleep with him, to sleep with him a few more times.

Qin Shu: "………"

Qin Shu warned Gu Tingyan: "Don't give her any trouble; she just speaks her mind."

Su Tuantuan's little life was in his hands; with one word, he could blacklist her.

Gu Tingyan raised an eyelid: "Am I such a petty person in your heart?"

Qin Shu wanted to say pretty much, as he had a personality that sought revenge for the slightest grievance.

Qin Shu changed the subject and looked at Gu Tingyan: "Is there a charity gala at Xingchen Entertainment tomorrow?"

Gu Tingyan raised an eyebrow slightly and handed her a piece of fruit, bringing it to her lips: "Yes."

Qin Shu opened her mouth and ate it, then said: "Tuanzi was scrubbed from the list; add her back in."

Xingchen Entertainment's charity events were frequented by big stars, famous gold-medal agents, and quite a few advertisers.

Su Tuantuan's performance was good; she had recently brought out a red-hot male star, Zhou Jincuan, and had also secured a role for Qin Shu with Director Chen, so the company thought highly of her as a potential asset.

As long as Qin Shu stayed steady and won the Best Actress award in one go, Su Tuantuan would be just one step away from being a gold-medal agent.

She could have made many connections on this list, and Su Tuantuan's spot was a sure thing, yet she was suddenly scrubbed.

Gu Tingyan: "Hmm."

Gu Tingyan was quite annoyed; Su Tuantuan was badmouthing him, her direct superior, behind his back, and he still had to pull strings for her.

In this world, there was probably no boss more spineless than him.

He hadn't even settled the score with her for the last time Su Tuantuan led Qin Shu astray!

This was the first time Qin Shu had asked him for a favor, and Gu Tingyan didn't want to let her down.

After going through what she had, Qin Shu thought very openly; since Gu Tingyan was her husband in name and the CEO behind Xingchen Entertainment.

She might as well use the resources available to her; before they divorced, she wanted to secure more benefits for Su Tuantuan.

She had been too stupid before, not utilizing such good resources as Gu Tingyan.

Qin Shu was slightly stunned that he agreed so quickly.

Seeing her looking at him with a surprised expression, Gu Tingyan raised an eyebrow faintly: "What? Do I look like the type of person who is unreasonable?"

Qin Shu thought about it and nodded: "Yes."

Gu Tingyan's face darkened; he reached out to lift the hair hanging over Qin Shu's shoulder, his voice low: "Qin Shu, it is you who have never asked me for anything."

Qin Shu was stunned.

Gu Tingyan lowered his eyes to gaze at her: "If you don't say it, how would I know what you want?"

He raised his hand to stroke the top of her head: "As long as you ask me, I will never refuse you."

Every month, Gu Tingyan gave her a generous allowance, so she didn't need to suffer the hardships of the entertainment industry at all.

The pittance earned from a single acting role wasn't even as much as what he gave her in a month.

And Gu Tingyan did not want Qin Shu to enter the entertainment industry and be exposed to the public.

She was his Mrs. Gu; she only needed to stay at home and enjoy the life of a wealthy wife, and he could afford to support her.

Qin Shu would never know how much charm she held for a man.

She was completely unaware of her own innate seductive nature.

Qin Shu raised her eyes slightly to look at him, the corners of her eyes curling with a hint of allure; both pure and bewitching, it was as if she were emitting a silent signal.

Gu Tingyan's expression paused; he wanted to hide her away in the Old Residence, for his eyes alone to see.

For a moment, their eyes met and the air stagnated; he lowered his head to look at her, his gaze falling upon her delicate lips, his eyes darkening slightly as he bent down to trap her between himself and the chair.

Qin Shu sat in the chair and looked up at him.

"Sister-in-law!"

The two withdrew their gazes, and Gu Tingyan straightened up, looking toward Gu Qinghuan who had suddenly appeared at the doorway, his temper not very good: "Who told you to roll up here?"

Gu Qinghuan also hadn't expected that she would bump into her brother kissing her sister-in-law; her cheeks flushed bright red, and thinking of something, she hurriedly covered her eyes: "Oh my, I've interrupted your good deed again."

Gu Tingyan: "..."

Gu Tingyan swept a sharp look at her: "Get out."

Servants were generally not allowed to come up to his and Qin Shu's bedroom, and even Gu Qinghuan was strictly forbidden from doing so.

At a hot-blooded age, ever since Gu Tingyan broke his abstinence, he often coaxed Qin Shu into fooling around; in broad daylight, seeing Qin Shu wearing a camisole, her slender, soft waist fitting within a single grasp, her fair and snowy breasts enticing him, half-hidden and half-revealed.

Gu Tingyan's blood surged, and he had whisked Qin Shu onto the bed right then and there; he was in the heat of the moment, with Qin Shu sitting softly on top of him, when at the most critical juncture—the most fatal moment for a man—Gu Qinghuan had barged straight in.

Gu Tingyan pulled over the quilt and hurriedly covered himself and Qin Shu, nearly being killed by Gu Qinghuan; he had almost been scared into impotence.

Gu Tingyan really wanted to hang a sign at the door that read: Gu Qinghuan and dogs are not allowed to enter!

Gu Qinghuan stuck out her tongue; Gu Qinghuan was still in school, currently in the busy stage of her senior year internship, and rarely came back, but upon hearing what had happened at the Old Residence, she was shaken to the core and had hurriedly asked for leave to rush back.
