Chapter 691: 691 Midnight’s Gift (2)_1
"Alright, I’ll call Allen and have him choose a top lawyer from the firm to help her fight the case. If she’s innocent, she’ll be alright. Don’t worry."
Gu Liancheng stepped out to the balcony to make the call, while at that moment Eleven too received a call, to her surprise it was from An Hao’s number. She paused for a moment.
"Haohao?" She cautiously asked.
Was she able to make a call from the police station?
"It’s me," the unmistakable voice of An Hao came from the other end, "I heard from Jia Qi, that you are also worried about me, so as soon as I got out, I thought to call you. I am alright."
"Really? How did you get out?"
"They investigated and found that I was innocent, so they let me go."
"That’s really great! But... your house burnt down, didn’t it? You have nowhere to live, right? Why don’t you... you come live at my place? We have vacant rooms."
If An Hao comes to live here, they will return to the Sea View Villa. It wouldn’t be a problem to let her stay here for a while.
"No need, thank you. I have friends, I already imposed on one of them. I will be living at his place for the time being, don’t worry about me."
"It’s good that you have a place to stay. If you need financial help, I can help you. Feel free to ask."
"Alright, thank you! I’m going to take a shower now, I feel quite messed up."
"Okay, keep in touch."
After hanging up, Eleven went to call Gu Liancheng, "Husband, no need to search anymore. An Hao just called and said that she is released and she’s safe."
"Alright, no need then, she’s safe, let it be," Gu Liancheng said to the person on the other end, "It’s good she’s safe."
...
After hanging up, An Hao let her hand drop, and her phone slipped onto the couch due to the lack of grip.
Money and house, she now has both.
Gu Tianyu has left, very generously telling her that she is now the owner of this high-grade apartment. On the coffee table was a cheque he wrote for her, filled with enough zeros that she didn’t even bother counting.
He told her that as his woman, he would never let her suffer any loss.
She thought, yes, with the money and the house, she has no choice now but to accept her fate in this endless darkness as his mistress.
...
That night, they slept in separate rooms. Jiujiu’s bed was a bit smaller than Eleven’s, so she gave the master bedroom to Gu Liancheng and slept in Jiujiu’s room herself.
Although Gu Liancheng reluctantly accepted this arrangement, he realized that it was better than inflaming the situation and not being able to control it.
During the day, the sky was clear, but at night, a violent thunderstorm with loud lightning roared continuously. If it was ordinary thunder it would be bearable; however, tonight’s thunder was particularly loud and terrifying, lighting up the entire sky with each strike.
Eleven, who was already afraid of thunder at night, woke up startled by the thunder. Despite being summer, she covered herself entirely with her blanket, not even leaving her face uncovered, before she felt somewhat safe.
The continuous roaring thunder exceeded her threshold of tolerance and eventually, she knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
Gu Liancheng was also awake at the time, having been woken by the thunder. He heard a knock on the door behind him and knew it was her.
From the moment the thunder and lightning started, he was awake, lying down, waiting for her to gather the courage to knock on the door.
He opened the door to find her standing at the entrance, wrapped in a blanket from head to toe, only half of her face was visible.
The moment she saw him, she dropped the blanket and threw herself into his arms, clinging tightly to his waist, "I want to sleep with you!"
