Gu Yusheng kept tossing about to change his sleeping position. Finally, he threw the covers off himself testily and strode into the bathroom.

After a cold shower, he took a glance at the bed while walking out of the bathroom. Qin Zhi’ai was shrinking into herself under the quilt with nothing exposed but the top of her head.

With only one glance, his mood, which had just been calmed down by the cold water, turned disorderly and hard to figure out once again. He went into the dressing room very quickly and put on a randomly picked suit. This time when he was stepping out of the dressing room, he didn’t even take a glimpse at Qin Zhi’ai who was still in bed, but took his wallet and left the bedroom. He was probably in a very bad mood, for he slammed the door loudly.

At the booming sound, the housekeeper who had been sleeping downstairs blearily put on a random coat and ran out of her room immediately. She saw Gu Yusheng walking down the stairs with a gloomy face.

Gu Yusheng took a cigarette out as he walked down. When he put it into his mouth, it touched the part on his tongue that had been bitten by Qin Zhi’ai the day before. He winced because of the pain, then spit the cigarette into the trash can near him. He looked even more irritated.

Seeing that, the housekeeper suddenly didn’t want to say anything and even moved her body to the wall. When Gu Yusheng had finally stepped out of the house and driven away, the housekeeper gasped and ran to her bedroom. Before she could close the door, she couldn’t help but looked up at the second floor in worry.

Mr. Gu and Miss Liang had just started getting along with each other in the past several days, had they fallen out again?

If the drugs that Gu Yusheng had taken while he had been injured hadn’t been on the coffee table in the living room, the housekeeper would definitely have thought the past several days when Gu Yusheng had stayed home were a dream.

…

Gu Yusheng, whose tongue had been bitten by Qin Zhi’ai, had porridge for four whole days. During those four days, he had started staying away like he had before.

The fifth day was Monday, the day on which the shareholders of the company had their weekly meeting.

Several days earlier when he had been injured, Xiaowang had taken in many documents that needed to be signed by him to the villa. Then when he had gone to the company for work, he hadn’t taken any documents that weren’t urgently needed.

Two hours before the meeting on Monday, Gu Yusheng rummaged through his entire office for the document he would need for the meeting, then recalled that the document was in his office at home.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yusheng bent over and pressed the speakerphone button on the telephone on the desk. He had intended to dial the phone number of the villa to ask the housekeeper to prepare the document and send Xiaowang to bring it to him, but when he was about to dial, he thought of the woman living in his house.

Nearly four or five days have passed, is the woman in a good mood now…

Gu Yusheng’s fingertips froze in midair, and he drifted away for a moment, until he finally dropped his eyes calmly and dialed the phone number of the villa emotionlessly.

The housekeeper was the one who picked up the phone. On the caller ID, she had recognized it as the number of Gu Yusheng’s office phone. Thus, before Gu Yusheng spoke, she said first, “Mr. Gu.”

“There’s a document in the office room, please find it for me. In about half an hour, Xiaowang should bring it to me,” Gu Yusheng briefly commanded her.

“Okay, Mr. Gu.” After the response, the housekeeper thought Gu Yusheng would directly hang up without saying anything else, like he had always done before. But this time, she waited for a while and heard no sound of him hanging up.

Is he walking away from the phone or did he forget to hang up?

As the housekeeper was about to check, Gu Yusheng’s flat-toned words came from the phone. “Is she okay now?”

She? In only one second, the housekeeper realized who he meant, so she stumbled over her words. “Mi-Miss? She, she… These days…”
