Gu Shaozhi remained expressionless and said calmly, "I’m getting old and can’t handle a fall."
Wanxia, "..."
With Pea not around, the man’s true nature was completely exposed.
Domineering, shaless.
However, Wanxia thought, free labor should not be wasted; the grievance she suffered last night had no value, so having him carry her upstairs was nothing.
...
Gu Shaozhi carried Wanxia up to the second floor, passing by the guest room door without entering, instead taking her directly to the master bedroom.
Wanxia was sowhat confused.
Earlier, it was because her toe was scraped, and since he lived in the master bedroom, carrying her here made sense.
But now she was about to wash up and sleep; why co to the master bedroom?
"Mr. Gu, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
Gu Shaozhi’s expression remained unchanged, calmly answering, "I’m not."
After placing the person in his arms onto the bed, he sat down on the edge, "The dinner Miss Ji made was acceptable, my mood improved slightly, and I think I can make a request now."
Gu Shaozhi spoke slowly, reaching up to touch her cheek. He rely intended to push aside her scattered hair but was misunderstood as trying to be indecent.
After being pushed away expressionlessly, he didn’t get angry and raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly, "Of course, if you’re not that eager, I can wait until you’re ready to listen."
Wanxia closed her eyes, resisting the urge to jump out of bed and run out the door.
Leaning against the headboard, she turned her head to look at the endless night outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
As expected, once this man started playing mind gas with her, she was utterly suppressed, as she was the one asking him now.
Under the eaves, one has to lower their head.
Her delicate features showed little emotion as she spoke faintly, "Let’s hear it now; after all, Mr. Gu is quite busy."
Gu Shaozhi’s eyes fixed intensely on the woman’s profile, his handso brow gentle, speaking slowly, "In this villa, the lighting in the master bedroom is the best. Now that the weather isn’t so hot, you can curl up on the sofa to watch movies and sunbathe in the morning."
He made the request very tactfully.
Putting aside the false pretenses, in simple terms, the goal is: I want you to move out of the guest room and sleep with on the master bed.
That day, when she used her body to trade for the photo Song Mingyang accidentally took, even in the state of being powerless due to drunkenness, she resisted his possession.
Living under the sa roof with him was tornting for her.
Gu Shaozhi didn’t want her rejection of him to grow worse, ceasing to use sex as a trade, but instead subtly re-entering her life.
Last night was an accident.
He had been drinking, and her body was so soft and fragrant, every inch occupying his reason and nerves.
In the end, he lost control, and he regretted it.
Faced with such a troubleso demand, Wanxia didn’t know what to say. Since this ga had begun, it wouldn’t stop until the last mont.
Even looking at him was annoying, but what choice did she have? To make Shen Weiyi truly experience that unbearable pain, apart from Lu Huai’an, only Gu Shaozhi could do it.
Lu Huai’an was not soone she could easily use.
So, there were no other options.
"I’ve stopped liking the warmth of sunlight filling the bedroom. The cool, shady side feels better. Can Mr. Gu change the request?"
Gu Shaozhi’s deep eyes showed no ripples as he answered lightly, "Then you can see Qiu Zheng next year."
Wanxia clenched the bedding to divert her attention, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, resisting the urge to hurl the pillow next to her.
There was nearly five minutes of silence in the bedroom.
He wouldn’t change.
After the standoff, it was Wanxia who compromised.
Turning her head, eting the man’s deep and complex gaze, she smiled lightly, "I can sleep here, but the wedding photo at the head of the bed is very annoying to . I don’t have the right to change anything in this room, so Mr. Gu, please take care of it."
It was hard to pretend it didn’t exist when it was the first thing she saw upon entering.
His gaze t hers, and what Gu Shaozhi saw in those eyes was nothing but perfunctory deception.
It felt like his heart was suddenly stung, oozing fine pain, so to prevent her from noticing, he stood up.
After taking down the wedding photo from the headboard, Gu Shaozhi asked lightly, "Is there anything else annoying to look at? I’ll take it all away."
Wanxia’s fine features still presented a perfect yet distanced smile, her almond eyes blinking, the long lashes casting a shadow on her eyelids, "Nothing else for now."
She watched the man walk out of the bedroom with the fra, only to return a minute later to open the wardrobe and take out a clean shirt and dress pants, changing as if no one was around.
It was clear he was leaving.
Right, the situation over at Shen the Superstar seed quite dire; he should have been restless for a while now.
After the man removed his robe, he was only wearing underpants, exposing his body to the air, causing a warm flush to rush to Wanxia’s ears as she quickly pulled the thin quilt over her face.
"I know Mr. Gu is busy with work, but as for Qiu Zheng, could you give an exact ti?"
A muffled voice sounded from behind.
Gu Shaozhi’s long fingers steadily fastened the buttons on his shirt, not looking like he was in a hurry to leave.
Expressionless, he said, "I will personally arrange it, and the day after tomorrow, you’ll be free to visit the psychiatric hospital."
Huddled under the thin quilt, Wanxia could clearly hear the sounds of shuffling and silently criticized the man’s lack of bounds.
She quietly answered, "...Oh."
Gu Shaozhi finished dressing, exuding a dignified and elegant presence from within.
He wasn’t upset about the wedding photo, yet the silence was due to the pain in his heart, which felt almost consumptive.
Seeing the woman bury herself in the bedding, his handso face returned to a gentle deanor, walking to the bed and pulling her out of the layers.
His voice was low and smooth, "The band-aid I put on you is waterproof, so you can shower. I’ll be out for a while, you can sleep first."
He knew full well she wouldn’t wait for him, yet he still said it.
Slightly suffocated from being covered, Wanxia’s ears were flushed red; caught off guard, she t the man’s affectionate gaze, pausing for a mont.
She looked away, awkwardly shifting further inwards, creating a distance between them, "Mm, I got it."
"There was an incident at the concert stage; over ten staff mbers were injured, and the dia are all at the scene. I’m just going over to take a look."
The previous Gu Shaozhi never knew what ’explanation’ ant.
Even when leaving her in a pouring rain for Shen Weiyi, he was always the dominating party, and any apology afterwards was forced and laughable.
An odd emotion grew in her heart, sothing Wanxia detested.
"I didn’t ask what you’re doing, there’s no need to tell ."
