Returning to the East Courtyard, Qiao Yuxian saw soone still cleaning the living room at this hour.
She didn’t pay much attention, took off her coat and handed it back to Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing took the coat, draping it over his arm. Then he picked up his phone, unlocked it, found a number and opened a text editor: "Qiao Yuxian."
"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian took off her high heels and changed into slippers.
Gu Yanjing handed the phone to her: "The manager at Jinxia Building, she’s a female manager. Send her your clothing size. You can also tell her if you have any other requests. They will deliver the clothes tomorrow morning."
"Oh." Qiao Yuxian took the phone.
Gu Yanjing didn’t look at the ssage she sent, his voice still cold: "There are new bathrobes at the old house, make do with it tonight."
"Okay." Qiao Yuxian finished sending the ssage and returned the phone to him.
Gu Yanjing turned off the phone and put it in his pocket: "You freshen up first, I have so things to handle."
Qiao Yuxian tugged at his sleeve, her eyes sparkling, ready to be praised: "Grandpa is already asleep, I’ll just go to the guest room."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt all the gazes in the living room fall on her.
Qiao Yuxian was taken aback, stiffly turning her neck to look around.
The people who were cleaning also stopped, all staring directly at her.
Qiao Yuxian awkwardly lifted her head to look at Gu Yanjing. Her eyes that were sparkling now filled with confusion.
Her gaze asked: What’s going on?!!!!!!
Gu Yanjing looked down at her, without any concealnt: "They’re all Grandpa’s informants."
Qiao Yuxian’s mouth twitched.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and Qiao Yuxian resignedly let go of Gu Yanjing’s sleeve.
Seeing the struck-by-lightning expression on her face, Gu Yanjing said in a bland tone: "Go freshen up, I won’t be back for a while."
"Oh."
Qiao Yuxian turned around, walking with heavy steps towards the room.
Gu Yanjing raised his brows slightly, then swept his gaze around the people in the living room.
The people in the living room imdiately resud their pretended cleaning.
Gu Yanjing withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
...
Returning to the room, Qiao Yuxian took a general look around.
The room appeared old-fashioned from the outside, but the interior was quite modern.
It was still Gu Yanjing’s style, simple, spacious, and cold...
But compared to Fenglin Villa, this place clearly had traces of life and atmosphere.
On the desk in the bedroom were a Lu Ban Lock, a gaming console, extra Lego pieces, and so yellowed books.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t touch anything, only seeing that the book on top was related to a physics competition.
On the desk’s bookshelf was also a photo fra with a picture of Gu Yanjing and a woman.
The woman in the photo looked to be in her thirties, wearing an apricot-colored cheongsam, with long shoulder-length hair, and classic Danfeng eyes.
She was truly a beauty.
She leaned her head on Gu Yanjing’s shoulder, holding onto his arm. When she smiled, there was a dimple on the left corner of her mouth.
Her gentleness and the happiness of that mont could be felt through the photo.
The Gu Yanjing in the photo looked about fifteen or sixteen, sowhat youthful. His features bore a seven to eight-point resemblance to the woman’s.
However, the woman’s features were soft, giving off a very gentle impression.
Gu Yanjing’s features were more defined, exuding a cool aura, but...at that ti, he was gentle too.
His mouth slightly curved, his eyes filled with a warm smile.
Completely different from the sharp coldness he has now, like two different people.
Qiao Yuxian stared at the photo for a while, thinking to herself: No wonder I thought Gu Yanjing was an iceberg beauty the first ti I saw him.
Turns out his mother is so beautiful.
After looking for a while longer, Qiao Yuxian sighed softly and went to freshen up.
Since she didn’t plan to stay here, she hadn’t brought anything, and was also afraid Gu Yanjing would suddenly co back. So, Qiao Yuxian freshened up quickly.
She did a simple clean-up, neatly put away the clothes she changed out of, dried her hair, and wrapped herself in the bathrobe before coming out.
After coming out, Qiao Yuxian sat on the sofa in the bedroom and played a couple of gas.
With Gu Yanjing not there, she didn’t dare to touch anything unnecessarily.
She could only wait for him to return.
