"Grandpa is retired and at ho; maybe he’s bored, so he gets more and more temperantal by the day. And my mom, she has no awareness of being over fifty at all. Just yesterday, she said she wanted to go see the snow mountains with her friends."
Gu Shaozhi was raised by Old Sir Gu and Mrs. Gu. He’s very filial and would go to great lengths to fulfill any requests they make.
Ji Wanxia knew this four years ago.
When he talked about the Gu Family’s daily life, Wanxia went silent, and the study room returned to silence.
No matter how simple or ordinary a topic might be, if one person is not interested and doesn’t respond, the conversation just can’t continue.
Realizing Wanxia’s silence, Gu Shaozhi didn’t say anything more.
Grandpa Gu was indeed too harsh, the man’s back was almost covered with bruises, so Wanxia took a long ti to tend to each spot. "Alright, you can put your clothes back on now."
She placed the ointnt back in the box, grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands, and tentatively asked, "Gu Shaozhi, are you not taking a shower tonight?"
Gu Shaozhi stood tall and upright beside the sofa, his bony fingers fastening the buttons of his shirt. Because the crystal chandelier was right above him, his shadow gathered into a ball at his feet on the floor.
Under the warm yellow light, his angular features appeared even more deep-set.
He understood what the woman ant, so he directly replied, "I still have work; I might not be able to sleep for more than a few hours tonight."
Wanxia pursed her lips, "...Oh."
At first, she said: Money is endless; you now have the power to cover the skies with one hand; there’s no need to work so hard. You should rest early because you’re still injured.
But as the words reached her lips, she thought there was no need.
That was the inherent kindness at play, unrelated to anything else.
Wanxia walked out of the study with her phone; just before the door closed completely, the man’s low and deep voice ca from the room.
"Wanwan, I’m very happy."
Gu Shaozhi only said those few words, without explaining why or how happy he was.
Because, he knew she would understand.
Wanxia heard the man’s words. Her hand paused on the doorknob for a mont, and for an instant, her gaze beca indistinguishable and dazed.
It was as if she was in a misty forest, surrounded by a gray haze, unable to see anything.
Gu Shaozhi was in the study, while Wanxia was outside the door, with the two separated by the door that wasn’t entirely closed.
She didn’t know how long it had been when the vibration of her phone brought Wanxia back to her senses.
It was a video call from Nan Wan, probably because of Little Pea...
Looking at her phone screen, Wanxia’s eyes cleared up, and her brows and eyes unconsciously showed a very gentle smile.
She closed the door properly and turned back into the master bedroom.

Today’s most explosive news crashed the mighty Weibo.
But Wanxia woke up in the afternoon, by that ti Weibo had already been restored.
After eating, with nothing to do, she curled up on the sofa in the study to sunbathe. When her phone popped up a ssage notification, she clicked on it.
[Shen the Superstar and a mysterious man spend eight hours together in a hotel, suspected new romance exposed]
The headline was extrely attention-grabbing, accompanied by paparazzi photos of the hotel room door in a nine-grid picture. Besides Shen Weiyi’s tens of millions of agitated fans, there were plenty of curious onlookers, keeping this topic firmly at the top of Weibo’s trending list.
After all, since stepping into the entertainnt industry, Shen the Superstar hadn’t been linked to any male celebrities, so the hype was different.
It could crash Weibo, showing how much people cared about the superstar’s relationship status.
The news broke at eight in the morning, and after nearly ten hours of buzz, at six in the afternoon, Shen Weiyi finally explained on Weibo.
She said the man caught by the paparazzi was the singer she would be collaborating with in her upcoming concert, not so romantic partner, and she’s still single.
Specifically who’s involved she didn’t reveal, wishing to maintain so mystery to surprise her fans later.
Hmm, this statent was very official.
Although many didn’t buy it, saying she was just hyping for her concert, her fans didn’t care about these claims. They all breathed a sigh of relief, especially the male fans, because if the goddess really was in a relationship, it would an a collective heartbreak for her many male admirers.
Wanxia might have been too idle, so she spent nearly ten minutes reading such boring entertainnt news.
Just as Wanxia was about to go downstairs to the backyard to get so fresh air, she received a call from Lin Chu.
"Ji Wanxia, I’m at the café right opposite the Gu Group. I’ll give you an hour, hurry up and get over here."
