"Sigh …"
Gu Tong sat alone on the sofa in the living room and let out a long sigh. Although the TV was turned on, her eyes weren't focused on it at all. She was staring blankly into an unknown corner.
Hearing her long sigh, Sister Yang, who was cleaning up nearby, finally walked over after some hesitation.
"Miss Gu …"
Sister Yang called Gu Tong softly. Her tone was filled with heartache.
Hearing that, Gu Tong retracted her gaze and looked at Sister Yang.
Looking into Gu Tong's eyes, Sister Yang whispered, "If you miss young master, just make a phone call and chat with him. It's not good for your health to be lamenting alone in the house every day."
Hearing Sister Yang's straightforward declaration of her thoughts, Gu Tong blushed in embarrassment.
She quickly lowered her eyes and stammered, "Yang …" Sis Yang, you … What did you say? When did I miss him? I was just a little bored, so I just sighed. "
"If you feel bored, you can ask your friends out for a walk and a meal. When young master is here, he always wants to have Miss Gu accompany him. Miss Gu doesn't have her own personal time, so you must make full use of this opportunity. "
Sister Yang tried to persuade Gu Tong from the bottom of her heart, as she didn't want to see her like this anymore.
The reason for her misunderstanding was that ever since Si Yichen had started travelling, Gu Tong would occasionally sit on the sofa in the living room and sigh in a daze. She would even occasionally look in the direction of the door and not move for a long time.
She had always thought that Gu Tong was waiting for Si Yicheng.
"I... I don't want to go out shopping. I'm very tired. "
Gu Tong avoided his eyes as she replied with a guilty conscience.
In fact, she was very clear in her heart that even if she could deceive everyone, she couldn't deceive her own heart. The reason why she sat here wasn't because she was bored, but because she missed Si Yicheng.
But she was too embarrassed to admit it, too embarrassed to call. She even intentionally acted as if she didn't care when Si Yicheng called her from time to time, anxiously urging her to hang up.
She was afraid that Si Yi Chen would make fun of her, but she was also afraid that if she showed too much longing for him, it would affect his mood and delay him from doing any serious work.
She knew that if this business trip wasn't particularly important, Si Yicheng definitely wouldn't have left her behind.
Since that was the case, she didn't want to affect Si Yicheng. No matter how much she missed him and felt sad, she had to do her best to restrain herself.
However … That said, it was really hard to do.
Gu Tong sighed in her heart. Because of Sister Yang's concern for her, she didn't dare to show her emotions.
At the same time she sighed, she couldn't help but look towards the entrance, wanting to see the figure she longed for.
Coincidentally, just as her gaze drifted over, the doorbell at the front door rang.
She was shocked.
"Miss Gu, I'll go take a look."
Sister Yang also heard the doorbell and quickly walked toward the main door after informing Gu Tong.
"Who's coming this time? What are they doing here?" Looking at Sister Yang's leaving figure, Gu Tong, who had calmed down, guessed curiously. She was not sure.
Thinking that this was Si Yicheng's home and he was just a guest, and someone had suddenly arrived while her master was not around, she really didn't know how to respond.
Sister Yang, who went out to check, quickly came back and walked to Gu Tong's side.
"Miss Gu, an old gentleman came outside and said he was your father and wanted to meet you."
Sister Yang reported respectfully to Gu Tong. Her attitude was very polite.
However, her words frightened Gu Tong.
Gu Tong sat there in a daze, not daring to believe her ears or believe that Gu Yang Yi would come looking for her.
Furthermore, after not returning home for a long time and not seeing Gu Yangyi, she suddenly felt that this form of address was very unfamiliar to her.
"Miss Gu —"
After reporting, Sister Yang didn't get any response from Gu Tong, so she called out to her in a low voice.
Gu Tong then came back to her senses and asked stiffly, "Outside …" "What does the person outside look like?"
Maybe Sister Yang had heard wrongly, or the person who came was mistaken.
Gu Tong thought about it in her heart, but she still couldn't believe that Gu Yang Yi would take the initiative to look for her.
In response to her question, Sister Yang briefly described the people she met.
It really was him.
Through Sister Yang's description, Gu Tong, who was extremely familiar with Gu Yang Yi, was instantly sure that he was really here.
"Let him in."
Gu Tong whispered to Sister Yang with a conflicted expression.
Out of respect and politeness, as a daughter, she had no reason to keep her father out of the door. However, when she thought of the times they had spent together, she did not want to face Gu Yangyi and worried that they would argue again.
In this conflicted mood, Sister Yang brought Gu Yangyi in front of her.
Seeing the familiar gloomy face of Gu Yangyi, Gu Tong immediately stood up from the sofa as if she was shocked by electricity.
"I thought that since you've found a new backer, you wouldn't put me, your father, in your eyes."
Gu Yangyi coldly stared at Gu Tong, obviously disagreeing with her decision to not go out to greet him and slowly get up.
At this moment, Gu Tong finally realized that her actions weren't right. She immediately said to Gu Yangyi in embarrassment, "Dad, I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't go out to pick you up. I didn't do it on purpose …"
"If you need anything, sit down first."
In order to not let Gu Yangyi continue to show him the wrong side of his face, Gu Tong quickly gestured for him to sit down, and ordered Sister Yang to pour him a cup of tea at the same time.
Listening to Gu Tong's arrangement, Gu Yangyi's complexion finally improved.
"Dad, you suddenly came to find me. What's the matter?"
After the first sip of the tea, Gu Tong finally opened her mouth and asked, curious about the purpose of his visit.
Hearing this, Gu Yangyi frowned, then said in a low voice, "You've been out playing for so long, you should have had enough. Today, follow me home."
Although his tone was rather calm, his attitude was very unyielding, giving people the feeling that he couldn't refuse.
Gu Tong felt a lot of pressure. However, she clearly knew that no matter how much pressure she felt, she didn't want to agree to Gu Yang Yi's request. She didn't want to leave this place, nor did she want to leave Si Yi Chen.
So after some preparation, she clearly refused: "I don't want to go home yet."
"What did you say? You don't want to go home?"
Surprisingly, Gu Yangyi raised his voice and shouted angrily at Gu Tong. It was as if Gu Tong had said something outrageous.
