"Protecting you is my duty." Gu Shaocheng taunted her while smiling. He had already treated her as his woman, how could he watch her being bullied?
Ye Xinran started to panic. Why did he have the obligation to protect her?
The two of them probably even spoke of the future, with extravagant hopes … A sense of loss rose up from the bottom of Ye Xinran's heart, and she felt inexplicably sour.
Ye Xinran lowered her gaze, pretended that she did not understand Gu Shaocheng's meaning, and asked: "However, how do you know that I'm in the Ye Family?"
She was truly surprised that Gu Shaocheng would suddenly appear and save her. Furthermore, looking at Ye Family's expression, she seemed to be acquainted with Gu Shaocheng … She was also surprised that he would help her …
"Phew …" "It hurts!" Without waiting for Gu Shaocheng's reply, he had instead received a piece of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
Ye Xinran rubbed her forehead as she grumbled, and asked Gu Shaocheng unhappily: Why did you hit me?
She was just curious as to why he suddenly appeared …
"Why did you suddenly move out of the villa?" If she hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten. The accounts for the past few days have yet to be settled.
He actually dared to play with him and go missing? He had disappeared without a trace without a sound, causing him to be unable to find anything for so long!
"I... I just found the right house and decided to move. " He didn't want Gu Shaocheng to know the real reason behind their move away, so he could only find an excuse.
"Then why did the phone shut down?" With furrowed brows, Gu Shaocheng stared at Ye Xinran in displeasure. Even if they were to move, they shouldn't have disappeared without a trace, right?
She moved without informing him, and the crew stopped going as well. They were clearly hiding from him and not willing to let him find them …
Ye Xinran was at a loss for words, but had no choice but to bite the bullet: "Moving has many matters to take care of, I'm so busy that I forgot."
"Humph!" Gu Shaocheng was so depressed that his face darkened. He knew she was just making up, so he couldn't continue asking.
He glanced at her unhappily and felt a bit of relief in his heart: "It's fortunate that you started today, that I sent someone to investigate the location of your cell phone before knowing that you were in Ye Family."
When he went there, he only wanted to capture her and bring her back so that he could properly discipline her. It was only then that he found out how miserably she had been forced by the people from Ye Family.
What would have happened if he hadn't arrived in time?
Guilt flashed across Ye Xinran's heart. She could tell that Gu Shaocheng had been looking for her these past few days, but she didn't even have the courage to contact him …
She had already promised An Xinyi … She didn't dare tell Gu Shaocheng the truth either, hence she felt extremely bitter in her heart.
Ye Xinran was at a loss for words, and silently lowered her head, how could she tell Gu Shaocheng?
Seeing her silence, a trace of pain rose from the bottom of Gu Shaocheng's heart. His tone also became a bit more gentle: "Can you tell me about you and Ye Family?"
Ye Xinran's heart trembled, and didn't want to talk about those unbearable things again, as she faintly said: "I can only tell you, I have nothing to do with Ye Family."
She did not want to talk about anything else, because it had already turned into the scars on her heart, and if it was opened, it would hurt.
Seeing her lonely expression, Gu Shaocheng knew that it must be a sad past. Since she didn't want to mention it, he didn't ask.
With a pained heart, he pulled her into his embrace. Gu Shaocheng said with a voice as gentle as water, "Alright, let's not mention it."
"Yes." Ye Xinran softly replied, her voice was heavy.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, she was actually so lustful. She really wanted to stay in this safe haven forever, but she knew she couldn't.
Dang, dang, dang.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Not noticing anything strange about Ye Xinran, Gu Shaocheng guessed that Hao Ran was probably back, and raised his voice to instruct: "Come in."
The door opened, and Hao Ran walked in while carrying the food, and said respectfully: "Young Master Gu, dinner is here."
"Yes." Just in time, Gu Shaocheng snorted in satisfaction.
Hao Ran opened the table, arranged all the food in order, and prepared to leave.
Ye Xinran suddenly called out to him: "Hao Ran, did my mother arrange dinner for you?"
"Miss Ye, rest assured, I have already sent it over." Hao Ran replied with a smile.
"Thank you." Hearing Hao Ran's words, Ye Xinran calmed down.
Hao Ran embarrassedly touched his nose and immediately replied: "Miss Ye is being too courteous, this is all Young Master Gu's intentions."
How could he dare take credit, Gu Shaocheng had arranged all of this, he had merely listened to his orders.
Ye Xinran subconsciously looked towards Gu Shaocheng as she said gratefully, "Thank you."
"If you really want to thank me, then eat your meal properly." Gu Shaocheng laughed and rubbed Ye Xinran's hair. Why are you getting more polite with him?
Towards his intimacy, Ye Xinran's heart was in a mess, and her face was red from the embarrassment.
Hao Ran pursed his lips and laughed, then turned and left the ward. After finding Ye Xinran, the aura around Young Master Gu seemed to have become less cold.
Gu Shaocheng meticulously scooped up a small bowl of hot porridge and gently sat in front of Ye Xinran. With a gentle gaze, he looked at her and said, "Open your mouth."
Ye Xinran, who was about to receive the bowl of porridge, froze in midair and looked at Gu Shaocheng in astonishment.
Seeing that she did not move, Gu Shaocheng scooped a spoonful out. After testing the temperature, he brought it to her mouth: "Ah …"
A group of crows flew over his head. Ye Xinran's mouth twitched, did they think she was a child?
"Director Gu, I think it's better if I do it myself." After she finished speaking, Ye Xinran tried to receive the bowl of porridge.
However, Gu Shaocheng easily evaded and refused to give it to her. With a teasing look in his eyes, he asked: "Or do you want me to use another method to feed you?"
Ye Xinran's scalp tingled with numbness. She hatefully swallowed the porridge in her spoon and started chewing with all her might.
Seeing that she had eaten it, the corner of Gu Shaocheng's lips curled up into a pleased smile, and he scooped another spoonful, sending it over.
Ye Xinran's mind was filled with resentment, her face darkened in anger. She had not injured her hand, could she not eat by herself?
However, Gu Shaocheng was happy inside. He didn't protect her well and let her injure herself well, so he was rather pleased to be able to take care of her now.
As she ate the congee that Gu Shaocheng had fed him, Ye Xinran felt mixed feelings in her heart as he looked at's serious and happy appearance.
Finally, the entire bowl of porridge was finished. Ye Xinran calmed herself down and reminded Gu Shaocheng with a smile: "Director Gu, I'm full. You should also eat."
Gu Shaocheng had been taking care of her here the entire time, and hadn't even had a good rest.
"Are you concerned about me?" Putting down the bowl of porridge, Gu Shaocheng asked while raising his eyebrows proudly.
Ye Xinran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she shook his head and rolled his eyes at him: "I can't be bothered with you."
"Haha …" However, Gu Shaocheng's mood was extremely good. He scooped a bowl of porridge up and ate with satisfaction.
Looking at Gu Shaocheng elegantly eating his dinner, Ye Xinran couldn't help but fall into a daze. How could he look so good when he was eating alone!
When Gu Shaocheng was serious, he was indeed handsome to the point of angering both humans and gods, and when he was toying with her, it was as if they were two different people.
