An Yuying noticed that Luo Yang was determined to meet Tang Guihua, pressed her red lips together, and stopped clinging to him.
However, she had a request.
"Come back within 10 minutes, okay? I have something to tell you too," An Yuying said.
"Should be doable," Luo Yang agreed.
It took about 3 minutes to walk to Tang Guihua's house.
And another 3 minutes to return, so that made 6 minutes.
Provided that Tang Guihua didn't cling to him, spending 4 minutes to chat with her before returning should definitely leave enough time.
Luo Yang wasn't clear on how long Tang Guihua would want to talk.
If he didn't first agree to An Yuying's condition, she wouldn't let him go.
"Sister An, please comfort the squad leader for me. I'm heading out now, okay?" He whispered into An Yuying's ear and pecked her red lips a few times before heading downstairs.
"Go and come back quickly," An Yuying instructed.
"Sure thing."
As he spoke, Luo Yang had already reached the first floor.
Upon arriving at the Tang Family's place, the entire Tang Family was gathered in the small living room on the second floor.
Noticing the heavy expressions on everyone's faces, he knew there was trouble.
When Luo Yang arrived, the people of the Tang Family's eyes lit up.
"Niu Zai, come and sit," Tang Guihua called out.
"What happened?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
"Someone came to our shop and made trouble," Tang Guihua said.
The Tang Family's tea shop in the county town was a problem.
These days, even though they had taken back the tea shop from Lin Guofa, the Tang Family feared retaliation from the Lin Family and could only ask relatives for help to watch the shop.
Luo Yang had already guessed that someone would cause trouble at the tea shop.
"Besides smashing things up, did they ask for money?" Luo Yang asked.
"No. But they said the shop wasn't ours, that we weren't allowed to operate it unless we paid a large sum of money," Tang Dexing said, hanging his head low in guilt.
The issue had started because of him, and he felt very remorseful.
In truth, he was just trapped by Lin Guofa's scheme.
Back then, due to a huge gambling debt, Luo Yang exposed the set-up, and thus the high-interest loan Tang Dexing owed to Lin Guofa naturally didn't need to be repaid.
However, Lin Guofa disagreed and, unable to deal with Luo Yang, he took his anger out on the Tang Family.
"Let's go to the county town and take a look," Luo Yang said.
"I'll go with you," Tang Guihua said.
"Dexing should come too," Luo Yang said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Dexing was startled.
Lately, he seldom went out, mostly just wandering around the village. Outside the Hongyun Brigade, he was worried about being retaliated against by the Lin Family.
"Would it be helpful if I went?" Tang Dexing said in surprise.
"It would be," Luo Yang said.
As for the usefulness, Luo Yang didn't explain on the spot.
On the surface, Luo Yang and Tang Guihua were good friends.
In reality, the two were lovers.
The old and young of the Tang Family were all aware of this, but no one pointed it out.
Now that brother-in-law was specifically asking Tang Dexing to go to the county town with him, even though Tang Dexing was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow along.
"I'll change clothes first," Tang Guihua said.
Then she stood up.
As she was about to walk into her room, Tang Guihua called back, "Niu Zai, come in for a second, I want to ask you something."
Tang Guihua wanted to ask him why he had dawdled before coming since it had taken him a while to arrive after she called him.
Luo Yang followed her into the room, casually closing the door behind him.
"Sister Guihua, what is it?" Luo Yang asked.
As he spoke, he walked closer to her.
"I called you for so long, and you've only just arrived?" Tang Guihua expressed her concern.
"Sister Guihua, I also need to change clothes," Luo Yang bluffed.
On hearing this, Tang Guihua was very curious.
"Change clothes? Were you in your room with Yuying..." Tang Guihua's lips curled into a smile.
"Sister Guihua, you've got it wrong. That's not what happened," Luo Yang said with a laugh.
"If you weren't up to something with Yuying, what clothes do you need to change in broad daylight?" Tang Guihua scoffed.
Actually, she was just feeling annoyed inside and was looking for an excuse to vent.
Having understood this, Luo Yang knew what he should do.
He took a half step closer, encircled Tang Guihua's slender waist with his arm, and whispered, "Sister Guihua, do you want to...?"
Seeing the sly smile tugging at Luo Yang's lips, Tang Guihua guessed what he was thinking, and a flush of red bloomed across her pretty face.
"I've said it before, only after we're married."
Tang Guihua's face turned red as she playfully punched Luo Yang's chest with her small fists.
Their bodies pressed together, Tang Guihua swayed gently, and after a moment, her cheeks reddened even more.
"Let go," she said bashfully.
Luo Yang knew why Tang Guihua suddenly became shy.
"Sister Guihua, we're wearing pants, it's fine," Luo Yang said.
"You...", giggled Tang Guihua, laughter bubbling up.
His gaze shot downward, getting a glimpse of Tang Guihua's prominent bust.
Pure white, perfectly round.
The twin peaks' pinkish hue was quite enchanting.
After a few glances, his mouth felt dry and his tongue parched.
And combined with Tang Guihua's faint body fragrance, Luo Yang's desire rapidly surged.
At first, Tang Guihua was giggling without noticing Luo Yang's expression.
But as the laughter died down, she lifted her eyelids and caught Luo Yang staring down with gleaming eyes.
In an instant, Tang Guihua knew what he was looking at.
At that time, she wore a casual, round-necked top with a scattered floral design, her bust creating eye-catching curves, and a pale, tender slope glistening with light.
A deep and inviting ravine stretched beneath her clothes, magnetic, drawing one's gaze.
Tang Guihua let out a chuckle and said softly, "Have you had your fill of looking?"
Luo Yang, completely engrossed, casually replied, "No."
He meant "he hadn't seen anything."
But from the exchange, Tang Guihua could take it as "he hadn't had enough."
While laughing, Tang Guihua began to playfully punch Luo Yang again.
"You've been staring for so long," she said, her face flushed.
Only then did Luo Yang sheepishly smile, averting his gaze.
"Sister Guihua, I wasn't looking, I was pondering a question," Luo Yang said seriously.
"Still denying it," Tang Guihua said incisively.
Luo Yang's face heated slightly at this, and seeing the teasing smile at the corners of Tang Guihua's mouth made him even more embarrassed.
"Sister Guihua."
With that, Luo Yang pecked Tang Guihua's red lips lightly.
Tang Guihua laughed and turned her head slightly to avoid him.
However, she moved so slowly it was clear she was giving Luo Yang the chance to land the kiss.
"Niu Zai, tell me, who do you like more, Yuying or me?" Tang Guihua asked.
Luo Yang hated answering this kind of question the most.
"Sister Guihua, don't you need to change clothes?" Luo Yang diverted the subject.
"You still haven't answered my question," Tang Guihua persisted.
"Sister Guihua..."
"Quickly..."
At such times, Luo Yang knew of only one way to silence Tang Guihua, so he promptly sealed her lips with his.
Tang Guihua tried to say something, but her voice became muffled hums within her mouth.
It took a while before Tang Guihua had the chance to speak.
"Hurry up and tell me," she urged shyly.
"Sister Guihua, I'm rushing to the county town, let's change clothes first," Luo Yang said.
"No way, not without an answer," Tang Guihua pouted her red lips.
Luo Yang pecked at Tang Guihua's red lips a few more times, each time she rolled her eyes, he would peck again.
Gradually, Tang Guihua chuckled and playfully pounded Luo Yang's shoulder with her small fists.
"Then take some time to think about it. Tell me when you come back. Don't think you can just drag it out. I want to know the answer," Tang Guihua said.
"Sister Guihua, you look so beautiful right now," Luo Yang complimented.
Upon hearing this, Tang Guihua felt pleased, her smile deepening.
"Does that mean I wasn't beautiful before?" Tang Guihua said laughingly.
"You're always so beautiful," Luo Yang kissed her lips again.
Ever since she started using Luo Yang's beauty stream water, Tang Guihua's skin had become crystal clear and as soft as jade, both moist and glossy, just like a baby's skin.
