Since Gu Qinghuan had already said so, Chu Cheng couldn't just force her to leave.

"Are you sure you won't leave, or else …" Before Chu Cheng left, he couldn't help himself from confirming the information once again. However, he noticed that Gu Qinghuan had a calm and composed look in her eyes. Even he couldn't shake the determination in her eyes.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be leaving first." Prime Minister Chu sighed, he didn't expect that he would return empty-handed this time.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. He had always been aware of Gu Qinghuan's stubborn temper.

On the way back, Chu Cheng first made a call to Li Ze's party, although Gu Qing Huan said she would notify Li Ze's party.

However, she was currently in captivity. It was already good enough that she had the normal communication device, so it wouldn't be that easy for her to contact Li Ze's Dinner.

On the other end of the phone, Li Ze's Dining Hall remained calm. After a few "En" sounds, he hung up the phone with a depressed voice.

Chu Cheng did not know what the Li Ze banquet was about, so he could not take the initiative to persuade her. Thus, he could only go to Gu Qinghuan's hospital and request a leave of absence.

When night fell, Li Heng finally returned home. The nanny had already prepared dinner for him at home.

Everyone silently sat at the table. During this period of time, no one spoke, only the soft sound of chopsticks colliding against a porcelain bowl.

Since his heart was filled with thoughts, he naturally had no appetite after eating a meal.

Gu Qinghuan reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of meat and food before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

Li Heng knitted his eyebrows and asked casually, "What's wrong?" No appetite? "

"It's not bad. Auntie's food is very delicious." Gu Qinghuan didn't want to implicate others, so she casually made up some excuses, "But I ate too much at noon and still haven't digested it, so I really can't eat anymore."

Even though it was a lie, her face was unblushing and her heart was beating fast.

Li Heng looked her up and down, but didn't say anything. He only let out a cold snort.

After a while, the dining table was still silent. Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "Old Master, can you let me make a call?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the atmosphere around her turn cold. Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but shiver.

"To whom?" Li Heng glanced at her.

Gu Qinghuan's expression was calm, as if she was talking about a normal matter. "Just call Li Ze to celebrate. Just say a few words and report back to him that he's safe."

"Really?" On the other hand, Li Heng was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Gu Qinghuan to make things so simple, so he asked in confusion.

Gu Qinghuan almost stuck out her three fingers and swore to show him. She nodded seriously, "It's absolutely true. I absolutely won't lie to you."

If Li Heng had lowered his head and thought for a moment, he would have exchanged a glance with Xu Zhiyuan and then took out his phone.

"I can call, but …" She had originally thought that her request would be fulfilled so easily. However, when she heard the latter half of the sentence, her eyes turned unnatural, "But you have to speak of nothing else in front of me."

As for what the other words were, he didn't need to say them out loud to be able to figure them out. Gu Qinghuan was able to easily guess.

Gu Qinghuan thought that this was only the first step and that there was no need to be too disappointed. Instead, she felt much better holding onto the thought that it would be fine even if she couldn't achieve it.

Even if it was just a simple peace report, it was still a good thing.

The number for the Li Ze banquet was already familiar to her. Very soon, she didn't know the familiar number.

"Hello." A low and hoarse voice was heard. Gu Qinghuan speculated that it was still early in the morning.

Clearing his throat, Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "I'm Gu Qinghuan. I'm doing very well right now, so you don't have to worry about me. "You have to be careful while you're overseas. I'm waiting for you to come back."

The other end of the phone paused for a moment. Listening to the heavy breathing, it seemed to understand something.

"Alright, I understand." Li Ze Yan put down the document in his hand, and looked at the city which had not awoken. His heart tightened, but his tone was flat: "Is there anything else?"

"No, rest early. I'll hang up first." Gu Qinghuan had even said that there were more mistakes than mistakes, so she didn't plan on bothering him too much.

She quickly hung up before the "yup" from the other end of the phone could be heard.

When she raised her head, she saw two people staring straight at her.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She even inwardly rejoiced. Fortunately, she didn't say anything.

Li Heng recalled her words several times and confirmed that there was nothing out of the ordinary in her words. Only then did he retract his phone in relief.

The following few days were as dull as before, Gu Qinghuan was still confined within the Li family.

However, what was slightly different about Li Heng was that his true nature seemed to have been exposed.

The same food, the same table.

"Gu Qinghuan, how were you today?" Li Heng drank a mouthful of soup and didn't even bat an eyelid as he asked.

Gu Qinghuan was startled by these words. She trembled with fear as she replied, "Not bad."

"Don't you feel bored here?" Li Heng seemed to have taken the initiative today.

Gu Qinghuan shook her head and nodded. "I'm fine. It's not as boring as I thought."

It was a very ordinary conversation, but he never thought of his next sentence.

"If you can, you can become my person. That way, your freedom won't be restricted."

Under Li Heng's somewhat stiff guidance, Gu Qinghuan's arm instantly froze in midair. Only after a long while did she regain her senses.

"But I am already a member of the Li Family. Furthermore, I live here every day." Gu Qing was overjoyed. Since she didn't know how to reply, she might as well play dumb.

Li Heng's face twisted, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"I mean, if you can keep an eye on the feast, report his movements to us …" Li Heng gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Gu Qinghuan pretended as if she didn't know anything. "I can tell you right now, he's currently working very hard to deal with matters at work. Unfortunately, because of the time difference every day, I can't contact him …"

He quickly changed the topic, but the impatience on Li Heng's face was obvious.

"Gu Qinghuan, I hope you won't continue playing dumb for me. If you hear this, then you can reply."

Li Heng finally acted up and slammed the bowl onto the table.

Gu Qinghuan embarrassedly put down her utensils and looked up at him with a puzzled expression. She vowed to push her ignorance to the end.

Seeing that the situation at the dining table was not good, Xu Ruo Nuan hurriedly advised: "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Old Master, you should calm down as well. It's not good for your health."

"There's also Gu Qinghuan. Since you've finished eating, go back to your room and rest."

Since Xu Ruo Nuan, the mediator, had given her a way out, Gu Qinghuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

She wiped the filth from the corner of her mouth and turned back to her room.

Xu Ruo Ruan patted Li Heng's back to ease his anger and consoled him: "Old Gramps, you're not young anymore, don't bother with this kind of young man anymore. Think about it, it's not worth it to be so angry, is it?"

As the days passed, Gu Qinghuan was secretly plotting her escape plan.
