Xia Lan followed behind him, speechless. Did she invite him to be her guest?

He didn't have the key, so no matter how fast he walked, he wouldn't be able to enter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait downstairs for a few hours.

"I almost went to the police." Gu Xi Jue glanced at her.

Without waiting for her to ask, Gu Xi Jue continued, "I'm afraid that you will lose my son."

"..." Xia Lan cursed angrily in her heart. As expected, she couldn't be too arrogant.

After entering the house, Gu Xi Jue placed the bag on the table, then sat himself on the sofa, looking a little tired.

"Dad, did you bring me a present?" Xiao Ze stepped on his short legs and ran to Gu Xi Jue's side, using his pair of black eyes to look left and right, his face filled with anticipation.

Gu Xi Jue opened his luggage case, and took out a wrapped box from inside, and handed it over to Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze opened it and saw that it was a limited edition Transformer, only available in Europe. He had asked for it from his father before, and his father even said that he wouldn't buy it for him.

Xiao Ze played, and suddenly raised his head: "Father, did you bring the beautiful auntie a present?"

Being asked this question, Gu Xi Jue was slightly startled by the way he rummaged through the box. If Xiao Ze did not ask, he could very easily take out the thing and give it to her.

However... Now that Xiao Ze asked this, it was like something had been pierced, and it would make him feel awkward.

If he didn't take it out now, when would he take it out? Take it out. It's like being stabbed in the heart.

Gu Xi Jue's distinct fingers slowly rummaged through the box, his brain already quickly working, thinking about how to say it without feeling awkward, and how to not be too deliberate.

After a few seconds, he had already found the box and passed it to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan took it, and said in pleasant surprise: "I have one too, thank you Gourmet."

"I happened to see it. I bought it while I was at it." This was the temporary excuse that Gu Xi Jue came up with after thinking about it for a few seconds.

The box was very small, but it was wrapped beautifully, so it was impossible to tell what was inside. Xia Lan did not open it right in front of him, she only turned around and took it into her bedroom.

Coming out from the bedroom, Xia Lan heard her ask Xiao Ze: "Have you finished your homework?"

"Not yet." Xiao Ze answered as he finished the new Transformer.

Xia Lan thought that Gu Xi Jue was going to bring Xiao Ze back, but who knew that he would actually say: "Then let's quickly write and play after that."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Xia Lan and said, "I'll rest first."

Xia Lan watched as his big hands undid the cut of her suit, then took it off and threw it on the other side of the sofa. She looked very tired.

As he laid down, Gu Xi Jue immediately closed his eyes.

Xia Lan thought, did Gourmet not sleep last night? Why does he look so tired?

In fact, what Xia Lan did not expect was that Gu Xi Jue's time difference was chaotic, she had just arrived in Switzerland and was busy negotiating, the moment they finished discussing, after getting used to the time in Switzerland, she had already returned home without stopping, and the time difference had already turned into chaos.

Plus, he had been on the plane for such a long time that he really needed to take a break.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so agitated after waiting for two hours.

Strangely, he would rather wait downstairs than hurry home.

He told himself that he wanted to see his son faster, but in reality, only he himself knew if he really wanted to see his son right away.

Just like now, when he saw Xiao Ze, it wasn't that he didn't immediately bring Xiao Ze home, but rather … Without even asking for Xia Lan's opinion, he immediately fell asleep.

He didn't ask because, based on his understanding of Xia Lan, she definitely wouldn't agree to him staying behind to sleep.

Standing at the side of the sofa, Xia Lan saw that Gu Xi Jue's brows were knitted tightly. Presumably, he was not sleeping well, or had something on his mind.

However, she could not allow Gu Xi Jue to sleep in her room either. Leaving him here to rest, she had already suffered greatly in her heart.

If Xiao Ze and Madam Gu didn't beat around the bush, she might not think too much about it, but since they both felt that the two of them should be together, she had no choice but to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, Gu Xi Jue had already kissed her more than once. In her heart, kissing was something that only couples who loved each other could do.

She and Gu Xi Jue's relationship was merely that of a high and low rank, their intimate contact could already be considered to be out of the ordinary.

Seeing that Xiao Ze was playing around a little loudly, Xia Lan called out to him softly. "Xiao Ze." He then put his index finger on his lips and shushed her.

Xiao Ze immediately understood and nodded.

"Let's go to Auntie's room to write and let Daddy rest." Xia Lan's voice was very light and gentle, sounding especially harmonious on this night with the bright moon.

As Xia Lan's door closed, Gu Xi Jue who had his eyes closed the entire time opened them. He had heard everything she said.

He opened it once, then closed it again.

Although the place on the sofa was not very big, this sleep made Gu Xi Jue sleep soundly and deeply.

In the middle of the night, Xia Lan woke up from the cold and even kicked the blanket under her feet. She got up and covered it with the blanket for Xiao Ze and just as she laid down, she suddenly remembered the man in the living room.

If she could be frozen awake in her bedroom, then Gu Xi Jue, who was in the living room, would definitely not be any better. He had not been covered by a blanket all night …

After thinking for a bit, she quietly opened the wardrobe, took out a blanket from the top shelf, and quietly walked out without turning on the lights. Under the moonlight, she walked to the side of the sofa and squatted in front of Gu Xi Jue.

She spread out the blanket and stood up a little. She covered him with it, and even though she was still worried, she tucked him in. It was a cold night at this time of the year, so she might really catch a cold.

After covering herself with the blanket, she was about to withdraw her hand when her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly.

Xia Lan exclaimed softly. Looking towards her wrist, she saw Gu Xi Jue's face.

It was unknown when that pair of unfathomably deep eyes opened, but they were currently focused on her, causing Xia Lan to feel even more apprehensive.

He was clearly just helping Mo Wuji cover him up with a blanket out of goodwill, but he felt guilty as if he had been caught doing something bad.
