When Gu Tingxiao saw this, he raised his hand to hold onto Mu Li's hand and placed it on his own. "Get on the carriage. It's getting cold and your hands are freezing cold."

Mu Li could feel the warmth of Gu Tingxiao's large hands on his palms. It was as though his entire body was hugging a stove.

"Thank you." With that, Mu Li got into Gu Tingxiao's car and headed home.

When he went to sleep that night, Mu Li had thought that he would be able to take Gu Tingxiao for a walk in the park tomorrow. He didn't expect that he would be woken up by the ear-piercing sound of a bell before dawn the next day.

Gu Tingxiao sat up and picked up the phone that was placed on the bedside table. When he saw the caller ID, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"What is it? Is there something urgent? " Mu Li opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Tingxiao.

"I'm fine." As he spoke, Gu Tingxiao hung up the phone in his hand.

"Then why don't you take it?" Mu Li was curious. It was probably an urgent matter for someone to call him at this time.

"It's not important to me. Sleep." Perhaps it was because Gu Tingxiao's tone was too gentle, but Mu Li once again fell asleep.

Gu Tingxiao sat in a wheelchair and walked out of his room. He went to his study room and dialed the number. With an extremely cold tone, he asked, "What happened?"

It was four in the morning and they usually wouldn't call at this hour. Something must have happened to disturb him at this hour.

"Second Brother, a batch of our goods has been robbed." The other party's tone was clearly flustered. They had been messing with these goods for a long time, but they had not expected that someone would actually dare to intercept them.

"Have you checked?" Gu Tingxiao furrowed his brows. These people truly wanted to die for daring to make a move on someone who was too old.

Upon hearing Gu Tingxiao's cold tone, a shiver ran down his spine, "We've already checked, they're pirates."

"Chase after him." Gu Tingxiao's tone was cold and his face was filled with viciousness. If someone was in front of him, they would definitely be scared by this man.

"Second brother, you want to …" The other party was uncertain and did not dare to give the order directly.

"Kill!" It was just one word, yet it was filled with an oppressive cold. The entire study room was as cold as an icehouse. The person who had made the call could clearly feel Gu Tingxiao's anger.

"Come and pick me up later." Gu Tingxiao's tone was harsh.

Upon hearing Gu Tingxiao's words, the other party was somewhat hesitant. "Second brother, you'd better not participate in this mission. Your wedding to Second Sister-in-Law …"

"When did you have to decide for me?" Gu Tingxiao covered the man's mouth.

If a man can't even complete his own career, how can he protect his own woman?

"Then we'll pick you up immediately." After he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Gu Tingxiao calmed himself down and returned to his room. Looking at Mu Li, who was sleeping soundly, he lightly kissed her on the cheek and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Mu Li could feel her gentleness in his sleep. He only replied indifferently before falling back into a deep sleep.

When Mu Li woke up, the sky was already bright. She immediately struggled to get out of bed, but found that Gu Ting Chen was long gone.

Mu Li scratched his fluffy hair. She walked barefoot on the soft carpet and opened the curtains, allowing the sunlight to shine on her without restraint. It was extremely comfortable.

Mu Li stretched lazily and walked into the washroom.

When he got downstairs, he saw that breakfast was already prepared at the dining table. Mu Li walked down excitedly to find Sister Liu busy in the kitchen.

"Sister Liu, have you seen Ting Chen?" Mu Li asked quietly.

"Isn't Second Young Master sleeping in his room? I haven't seen Second Young Master since I woke up in the morning. " Sister Liu was also puzzled.

"Xiao Li, you don't have to worry about Young Master, he probably left for work. Leaving so early is probably because he's on a business trip, and this is something that's common for the past few years." Sister Liu was already accustomed to it, so she wasn't worried. She also advised Mu Li not to worry.

Mu Li nodded and turned around to sit at the dining table. Mu Li looked at the table full of delicious food and suddenly felt that it had lost its flavor. She had been with Gu Tingxiao for half a month. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable without Gu Tingxiao to accompany her to dinner.

Looking at Mu Li's dejected appearance, Sister Liu lightly smiled and sat opposite Mu Li. "Xiao Li, are you thinking of Second Young Master?"

"Ah?" No, I didn't think about him. " Mu Li revealed an awkward smile, and then her face turned red.

"It's unavoidable that you and Second Young Master will miss your newlyweds. I won't laugh at you. Sister Liu, I've been through this before, so of course I understand how you're feeling now." Seeing Mu Li's innocent appearance, Sister Liu couldn't help but tease him.

"I'm going out to buy some things in a while. Sister Liu, come with me. It's too boring to go shopping by myself." She hadn't had any friends in the past few years. Only Sister Liu was nice to her, so she was willing to chat with this woman.

"This... That's not so good. " Not only did Mu Li not mind her being a servant, he even took the initiative to help her farm work. She was already very grateful, but she didn't expect him to follow Mu Li around like a friend.

"What's wrong with that? I don't have any friends, and you're the only one who treats me the best. So, it's not a problem for you to accompany me out for a stroll." Gu Tingxiao had given her a card before, and she had already submitted it to the hospital. She also had a lot of pocket money, so she wanted to buy some things.

Although the house was very big, it lacked a sense of belonging. She wanted to change it into a new outfit before Gu Tingxiao returned.
