With that, An Xingchen stood up and went to the kitchen to retrieve a new set of tableware.

This time, An Xingchen did not dare sit beside Gong Lingqian, and calmly picked a seat furthest away from Gong Lingqian. Just as he was about to sit down, Gong Lingqian's voice rang out: "Come sit."

An Xingchen was startled, and subconsciously looked towards Gong Lingqian.

Then, he heard Gong Lingqian say with a slightly unhappy voice: "You're sitting so far away because you're afraid that I'll eat you?"

This was the first time Gong Lingqian saw someone avoiding him like this.

"No..." An Xingchen awkwardly bit her lips, and could only quietly move to the seat beside Gong Lingqian and sit down.

An Xingchen had just said that she was not hungry, she had been busy with work at noon, and had only eaten two bites of lunch. By now, her stomach was completely empty.

She was already sitting down, but An Xingchen did not act pretentiously in front of the delicious food, picking up the chopsticks and beginning to eat.

It was worthy of being a top quality food that was shockingly expensive. Although the method was the same, it was much more delicious than what An Xingchen had cooked in the past.

An Xingchen was eating so much that she couldn't stop.

The atmosphere of this meal was pretty harmonious, it was unknown if it was because he was looking at the An Xingchen who was seated beside him and eating too well, but even Gong Lingqian's appetite had improved by quite a bit.

After dinner, An Xingchen cleaned up the kitchen and took her things, then said to Gong Lingqian: "Young Master Gong, it's getting late, I'll be going back now."

The moment he finished speaking, Gong Lingqian's low voice immediately sounded: "Wait!"

With that, Gong Lingqian frowned, he looked at the time on his watch and spoke to An Xingchen: "It's almost 8, a girl like you isn't safe to go back to, just live here."

In the dead of night, a man and woman alone in a room, with such close relationships between them. Just thinking about An Xingchen made her shake her head, "There's no need …. It's safe for me to take a cab back. "

"It's already this late, do you think you can get a taxi here?"

An Xingchen just remembered that this was the Yao City's high-end villa.

There wouldn't be a taxi here at all. There would be no such thing as a bus …

Just as he was thinking about it, Gong Lingqian's low voice sounded beside his ears again, "Furthermore, the weather forecast said that it will rain tonight."

Just as Gong Lingqian finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky outside, followed by the rumbling of thunder.

An Xingchen suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale. She subconsciously retreated a few steps and looked out the window to see the rain pouring down.

It was not easy to get a taxi in this area, not to mention the fact that it was raining and thunder …

There was no better option now than to stay here for the night.

Thinking about it, An Xingchen bit her lips. With a pale face, she looked at Gong Lingqian and said, "Young Master Gong … "Then I'll have to trouble you tonight …"

Gong Lingqian suddenly looked at An Xingchen who had turned pale and frowned: "What's wrong? Your face is so ugly? "

"I'm fine..." An Xingchen forced a smile and smiled at Gong Lingqian: "I'm just a bit tired, I want to rest now."

"I'll take you back to your room." Gong Lingqian said as he brought An Xingchen to the guest room beside master bedroom's on the second floor.

"You can stay here tonight, I'll stay nearby. If you need anything, you can come find me."

"Thank you, Young Master Gong." An Xingchen said her thanks and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gong Lingqian's figure leaving. Soon after, another loud explosion of thunder sounded out from outside the window.

An Xingchen's body uncontrollably trembled, her complexion turning even paler than before.

He ran to the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.

What she feared the most was a night like this.

Memories of when she was 6 years old surfaced in her mind. It was also a stormy night. After her mother took her out, she took a long ride in a car. After leaving her on the remote road, she went back home.

She was drenched from the rain, crying as she searched for her mother. In the end, she was almost dragged into the car by a group of bad people. Fortunately, a policeman passed by and saved her.

From then on, An Xingchen had a shadow in her heart for this thunderstorm night.

Every time he encountered a night like this, An Xingchen was so afraid that she couldn't sleep at all.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, showing no signs of stopping, and the rumbling of thunder could be heard continuously.

An Xingchen bit her lips and covered her ears tightly with a blanket. Her eyes were completely red, and because she was too afraid, An Xingchen's body became as stiff as a puppet, and started to tremble uncontrollably.

Even with the lights on in the room, An Xingchen still felt that the pitch black sky outside was like a monster's gaping maw.

"Boom!"

There was another clap of thunder.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" An Xingchen was so shocked that she couldn't control herself and screamed.

An Xingchen, who had been frightened to the point that his face turned pale, could no longer stay on his own. He did not even have time to put on his shoes as he staggered out of the bed, opened the door and ran out.

Just as he ran to the corridor, he saw Gong Lingqian pulling open the door.

"What's wrong?" Gong Lingqian frowned slightly as he looked at the panicking An Xingchen.

An Xingchen bit her lips and looked at Gong Lingqian with reddened eyes: "Young Master Gong … May I come into your room for a moment? "

"It will be fine after a while... "I won't disturb you …"

Just as An Xingchen finished speaking, Gong Lingqian who was standing at the door frowned and turned back into his room.

An Xingchen looked at Gong Lingqian's back figure that turned around and left without hesitation, bit her lips, and her eyes immediately swelled up to become even redder.

He gripped the corner of his shirt tightly and was about to turn around and return to his room when the sound of footsteps came from behind him.

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold if you don't even wear shoes?"

Right after he finished speaking, a man's pair of slippers was placed beside An Xingchen's feet.

An Xingchen looked at the male slippers beside him in a daze, and the fingers that were tightly pinching the hem of his clothes loosened. It turned out that Gong Lingqian had taken the slippers out for her just now …

"What are you standing there for? Put on your shoes and go in. " Gong Lingqian's deep and pleasant voice sounded out once again.

An Xingchen put on her shoes and followed Gong Lingqian into the room.

The decorating style of the master bedroom was the classic black and white abstinence type.

"Boom!" There was another clap of thunder outside.

An Xingchen jumped in shock, and subconsciously moved closer to Gong Lingqian.

Gong Lingqian finally understood from the look on An Xingchen's face just now, it was because he was afraid of lightning.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." As Gong Lingqian spoke, he unconsciously lowered his voice by a few degrees.
