Gu Yusheng habitually took out a cigarette and lit it, then stood on the balcony, staring at the faint glow spreading out of the sun room and inhaling slowly.
After he finished the cigarette, there was no sign that the light in the sunroom would be turned off anyti soon. Gu Yusheng, with his hands on the railing, moved his gaze from the dusky night and went into the bedroom emotionlessly, then got in bed and turned the light off.
Day had already broken when Gu Yusheng woke up. He took the phone and half-squinted to see the ti. It was half past seven in the morning.
He noticed that he was still alone in the bed as he removed the quilt and climbed out of bed.
Gu Yusheng didn’t stay in bed any longer, instead frowning and walking directly into the bathroom.
After washing, Gu Yusheng picked a black suit and put it on, then put on a necktie while walking towards the bedroom door.
He pulled the door open and took a step out, then heard the housekeeper saying in a surprised tone at the end of the corridor, “Miss? Why are sleeping here?”
Gu Yusheng paused and stared in the direction of the voice. The girl, who had been reciting her script on the wicker chair, was awakened by the housekeeper. She seed to be in a daze, and smiled at the housekeeper after a while, responding gently, “I practiced my script for a long ti last night and just fell asleep here by accident.”
“You have no blanket on you to prevent the cold,” the housekeeper said worriedly, then suddenly added astonishedly, “Miss, look at the mosquito bites all over you, even on your face! I’ll go get so dicine for you…”
“It doesn’t matter,” the girl stopped the housekeeper, the expression on her face showing a sense of discomfort. After a while, she asked, “Where’s Mr. Gu? Is he… awake?”
“Yes, he’s already woken up. When I ca over just now, I saw no one in the bed, maybe he’s washing in the bathroom.” After a short pause, the housekeeper added, “Breakfast is ready, Miss, are you going to have it right now?”
“No, I still have so unfinished parts. I morize better in the morning. I’ll go downstairs after I finish. You just go and serve Mr. Gu.”
Gu Yusheng moved his gaze back before Qin Zhi’ai had finished her words. He continued to tighten his necktie while walking down the stairs, as if nothing had happened, but a touch of coldness erged in his beautiful eyes, making him look more arrogant and indifferent.
When Gu Yusheng had walked halfway down, the housekeeper ran down from the second floor, but stopped at the sight of him, and greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Gu.”
Gu Yusheng continued to walk downstairs as if he hadn’t heard the housekeeper.
Being accustod to his attitude, the housekeeper continued to ask, “Mr. Gu, breakfast is ready, do you want to have it now?”
