Guan Taoman was stunned.
After not hearing anything for two seconds from Guan Taoman, Gu Linzheng hung up the phone.
Tang Chi asked curiously, "Who was that?"
She was nosy. But she was not jealous. Based on a woman's intuition, she could tell that it was a woman on the other line. Looking at the situation, it was a troublesome woman.
From what Gu Linzheng answered, she wanted him to come out?
"One of a family friend's daughter. She just got back from overseas and wanted me to pick her up at the airport."
Gu Linzheng explained it plainly. Tang Chi understood and suddenly said, "You are not allowed to go."
"..."
Gu Linzheng looked at her again. This time with a rare smile on his face, "Are you jealous?"
"No, it's not that."
Tang Chi admitted frankly, "Gu Linzheng, I know that we have an agreement marriage but you can't do it like what they do on tv, having any childhood sweethearts or unattainable crush secretly. At least for this one year, I will not allow you to have any relations with another woman. I will also refrain from getting close to other men. Of course, you can have friends. An extramarital affair is not something good. I am extremely protective of my relationships and would not allow any contamination, even if our relationship is fake. If you dare to mess around, don't blame me for fooling around with other men too!"
Although she had a soft and gentle voice, she said it with such firmness and strength to show her determination and decisiveness in that matter.
At first, it sounded interesting. However, that last sentence made Gu Linzheng uneasy. He frowned and said, "What nonsense are you saying?"
He was not the type of person with messy feelings and relationships anyway.
Even if he did, he would never embarrass Tang Chi in the Gu family. His parents also definitely would not allow such a thing to happen. His family had a good reputation.
Even for a good-for-nothing person like Gu Linye, at most, he only had many relationships because he was popular and problems with his reckless spending. There were no problems with morale that would tarnish their family's reputation.
When Guan Taoman called earlier, he already knew what she wanted. He firmly rejected her a long time ago, but due to their family relations, Gu Linzheng had to be polite on some level.
Now that Tang Chi was still here, of course he would reject her outright.
Just that Tang Chi's words made him uncomfortable for no reason. He closed his book and his eyes turned concentrated like ink, like the night stars with a slight mist. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did I do something to make you feel this insecure? What did I do?"
He didn't do anything wrong. But the way Tang Chi said it so decisively made him feel uncomfortable.
Tang Chi saw Gu Linzheng's expression unexpectedly turned deeper and colder than usual. She knew that her words made him unhappy. Because Gu Linzheng was really different than other men. her heart quivered and quickly flattered him, "Zheng, you think too much, I was just saying. I do have my right to voice out an opinion...You don't have to worry about me but I have to worry about you, right? You are very good looking and you have money, power, and capabilities with your unique temperament. Many women would not be able to resist you, would they? And after all, you are a man…"
Perhaps Tang Chi's flattery caught him by surprise or the fact that she called him Zheng threw him off. Gu Linzheng never encountered an approach like this and that made him fell silent in an instant.
People used to praise him like that in the past, but… no one ever praised him so bluntly...no standards.
