“What if Tang Shicheng finds out that you seduced his daughter into running away from home?”
“Me, seducing Tang Zhiwei to run away from home? Are you kidding?”
“The fact is, she’s with you.”
Shang Peng was stunned; this guy actually had such accurate information? He quickly retorted: “I’m just kindly sheltering her. The Tang family should be grateful to me.”
“Sheltering? Don’t tell me you’re just being helpful. The only reason you’d shelter her is that you’re still interested in her,” Gu Tianqi continued.
“Maybe. You know, I’ve never been able to reject beautiful women,” Shang Peng’s casual laugh turned slightly low: “But… letting her work at the company is different from being interested in her.”
“Impossible. With your habits, how could you waste effort on a woman for nothing? You always want something in return, right?”
Shang Peng opened his mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Gu Tianqi asked.
Shang Peng just frowned, not knowing what to say.
Habits? Yes, that was true. He had never wasted effort on women he wasn’t interested in.
But now, regarding Tang Zhiwei… he realized he didn’t actually have any thoughts of getting something in return.
“If I say I just purely want to help her and don’t expect anything back, would you believe me?” Shang Peng stretched lazily, his voice charmingly languid.
“Then I’ll make a special trip to Dongsheng,” came a sneer from the other end.
“What for?”
“To award Miss Tang for exorcising demons and purifying social morals.”
“Pah!” Shang Peng scoffed, “What exorcising demons? You’re thinking too much.”
“No, this is my sincere hope. I’m waiting to see how she’ll deal with you, this demon.”
“Deal with me? I think it’ll be the opposite. She’s now my captive,” Shang Peng dropped this bold statement, but felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
“Either way, whoever is the captive is fine, as long as… innocent people aren’t bitten,” Gu Tianqi laughed on the other end.
“I’m more curious about how you’d look when bitten,” Shang Peng laughed more wickedly.
