At night, there were a few stars hanging in the sky.
Gu Chenge asked someone to prepare dinner. Cheng Nuo did not stand on ceremony, sitting down at the dining table. Gu Chenge sat opposite her and chewed slowly. His entire body was filled with a refined aura.
“I need to go to the company to take care of some things. Stay at home obediently.”
After the meal, Gu Chian put away his chopsticks and took a piece of tissue from the table. He wiped his mouth and looked up at Cheng Nuo. His tone was one that could not be rejected. Cheng Nuo’s hand, which was picking up food, was slightly stunned. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. A moment later, she restrained it. Looking up, she looked like she did not care at all. Cheng Nuo stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and said, “Go on. What does that have to do with me?”
Gu Chenge wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly fell on Cheng Nuo’s smacking lips, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his face. A moment later, he stood up, straightened his tie, and turned to leave. He didn’t forget to arrange for a bodyguard to stand guard outside.
“Keep an eye on Miss Cheng.”
Cheng Nuo heard this and bit her chopsticks angrily. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Gu Chenge’s back. Trying to trap her? No way! Gu Chenge’s car had just left when two bodyguards immediately came in from outside the door and stood behind Cheng Nuo. They were inseparable, the two of them expressionless and their faces filled with ice.
Cheng Nuo turned her face to look at the two of them and snorted coldly. After eating her fill, she lay on the sofa, clutching her round belly and rolling her eyes. There were four bodyguards guarding her outside the villa. With her small body, she would definitely not be able to break out. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She coughed lightly and took small steps towards a place according to her memory.
Not long after, she stopped and turned around to look at the man who was following behind her. Cheng Nuo’s face was as black as coal. She crossed her arms and asked, “Why? Do you want to follow me into the shower?”
When the two bodyguards heard this, their wheat-colored faces instantly became uncomfortable and their ears turned slightly red as they looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, they replied, “The boss asked us to watch you.”
Cheng Nuo immediately started to play the victim. She moaned and wiped her non-existent tears, “Although I have six children, I still want my face. I’m just taking a bath. How can I run away?”
The two bodyguards stared at each other helplessly. In the end, they retreated and Cheng Nuo immediately locked the bathroom door.
Her eyes were clear and bright. How did she look like she had just cried? She turned on the shower, and the sound of running water lingered in every corner. However, she did not look like she was about to take a shower. Instead, she turned around and walked to the window, which was a rectangular exhaust window. She was afraid that the noise would arouse suspicion from outside, so she carefully opened the lock of the window and pushed it open.
It was dark outside, and the street lights were covered by a dense canopy of trees. Cheng Nuo stepped on the toilet and slowly climbed up. She had always been thin, so she jumped out lightly, and because it was the first floor, it did not hurt that much when she landed. However, there were still some rustling sounds.
The bodyguards were very alert. When Cheng Nuo heard the footsteps of leather shoes, she was so scared that she immediately hid behind a bush.
“Who’s there?”
Another bodyguard rushed over when he heard the sound. He took a quick glance, patted the shoulder of the person beside him, and said, “There’s no one. It’s probably just the wind. Don’t be too paranoid.”
Very soon, the two bodyguards went back.
When Cheng Nuo saw this, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. Running towards the main road, she caught a taxi. The time was just past eight o’clock at night..
