I'm Very Happy After Marrying the CEO Husband According to the Agreement-Chapter 60: If it’s not an outsider, it’s my wife.
Chapter 60
There was a lot of food, but Gu Huaian only ate a few bites before Cen Assistant came over with some files.
Shen Tang stopped eating along with him.
Gu Huaian said, "You go ahead and eat, don't mind me."
Shen Tang didn't listen to him, mainly because she wasn't that hungry yet and could wait a while.
As a result, Cen Assistant came and went, back and forth several times.
This also meant that Gu Huaian was busy the whole time, and only finally got a real break once the food had gone cold.
Shen Tang had a complex expression. "Are you this busy every day?"
"It's alright, I'm used to it."
Shen Tang suddenly felt a little heartache.
Not seeing it day-to-day, she didn't have an intuitive sense of it, but seeing it today, she finally understood why he had stomach problems.
In fact, Gu Huaian didn't really feel tired at all, he was already used to this kind of lifestyle.
From birth, he had been cultivated as the heir, without much of a happy childhood. He never went to amusement parks, ate snacks, or had many friends.
All these years, other than school and work, it was only socializing and entertaining, with almost no personal time.
Gu Huaian was about to continue eating, but Shen Tang stopped him: "The food's gone cold, don't eat any more. Is there a microwave? Let me heat it up."
Gu Huaian looked at his watch, "Why don't we just go to the company cafeteria?"
Shen Tang's eyes lit up, "That works! I've heard the cafeteria at Gu Group is especially delicious."
"Let's go then."
Gu Huaian got up and put his suit jacket back on, covering up his well-built figure.
Shen Tang regretfully withdrew her gaze.
The two of them walked out side by side, attracting quite a bit of attention.
Shen Tang suddenly regretted not wearing a mask today. Would her reputation bring negative impact to Gu Huaian?
She worried endlessly, unconsciously falling a few steps back, wanting to keep some distance from Gu Huaian.
But Gu Huaian also slowed his pace. "What's wrong?"
Shen Tang felt a little awkward. "Is it not good for us to walk together?"
"Are you afraid that I'll influence you?"
"No, no no, I was afraid of influencing you!"
Gu Huaian laughed softly. "Don't worry, it's fine."
Shen Tang smiled, her steps becoming cheerful.
The Gu Group cafeteria was very big, taking up a whole floor.
There were all kinds of regional cuisines, snacks, desserts and drinks.
Most importantly, it was all free. As long as you didn't waste, you could eat as you pleased.
At this time there weren't many people in the cafeteria, as most had already eaten and left.
Shen Tang picked out some of her favorites and sat down at an empty table.
Gu Huaian was still getting food.
Since he had gotten in line behind her, the speed at which people in front of him got their food increased noticeably.
Shen Tang almost laughed out loud.
Soon Gu Huaian came back with his food, and the two of them sat facing each other.
Shen Tang took a bite of sweet and sour pork ribs and closed her eyes happily.
"So delicious." Shen Tang added, "But still not as good as Aunt Peach."
"If Aunt Peach knew how much you liked her cooking, she'd probably be very happy."
The two of them ate and chatted happily, unaware that the company employees were extremely shocked at the moment.
In the company group chat, someone had sneakily taken a photo of the two whispering to each other and posted it to the group, sparking heated discussion.
[Extra extra! The perpetually aloof Boss Gu has finally opened up!]
[This girl is so pretty, suits Boss Gu well, and...she looks kind of familiar...]
[Rolls eyes. Of course she's familiar, with how often she trends online. But I really can't believe Boss Gu would be with Shen Tang, it's a bit of a letdown...]
[Just eating together means they're together? With all of Shen Tang's scandals, Boss Gu would never be interested in her...]
[Are you a tapeworm in Boss Gu's stomach? Those online scandals might not even be real, I trust Boss Gu's judgement.]
[I trust him too, Boss Gu isn't that kind of lustful person.]
[Stop arguing. Anyone want to eat melon up close? Let's gather at the cafeteria entrance.]
[I'll go!]
[Me too!]
And so, a strange phenomenon occurred in the cafeteria.
Logically at this time there shouldn't be many people coming to eat, since those who needed to eat already ate.
But Shen Tang sensitively noticed that ever since they came to eat, more and more people had come into the cafeteria.
Most only got a small dessert or fruit, sitting not too close or far, and would sneak peeks at them from time to time.
Shen Tang: "..."
Do they really think they're being discreet...
Shen Tang moved closer to Gu Huaian and whispered, "Are your employees always this gossipy?"
Unbeknownst to her, this action made the onlookers' eyes go wide, some even gasping.
Shen Tang really wanted to ask, was it necessary?
Gu Huaian laughed softly again. "Looks like they're too free."
The nearby people instantly changed expression upon hearing this.
Oh heavens, they were busy to death every day, where was this free time coming from?
"Let's just eat quickly." Shen Tang was starting to regret coming here.
With so many people watching them, she felt like a monkey in a zoo.
Gu Huaian swept his eyes around, and people hurriedly lowered their heads.
Shen Tang gave a thumbs up and whispered, "Impressive."
As expected of a tyrannical CEO, able to "kill" the onlookers with a single look.
Soon, Cen Assistant also came.
Now when Shen Tang saw him she got nervous, afraid he had brought another pile of work.
Before Cen Assistant could speak, Shen Tang quickly asked, "Cen Assistant, have you eaten?"
Cen Assistant was stunned. "Yes, I've eaten."
"Then you're here to..."
Cen Assistant looked to Gu Huaian. Gu Huaian nodded, "Go ahead, she's not an outsider."
Shen Tang's eyes lit up.
Not an outsider, so an insider!
