After dinner, Lin Musheng followed Gu Xichen back to his room.

Gu Xichen knew that they had only just started dating, so he didn't intend to take advantage of her.

"You sleep in the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the sofa. If you need anything, just call me, and I'll stay with you."

Since it was Lin Musheng's first time visiting his home, he was worried that she would be scared to sleep alone, so he decided to sleep on the sofa with her.

Lin Musheng nodded. "Okay."

At night, Lin Musheng slept in Gu Xichen's bed, while Gu Xichen slept on the sofa and watched over her.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Musheng went back.

They are currently in a romantic relationship, so they don't plan to move in together anytime soon.

Waterside Villa.

Gu Xichen told Shang Yanxing about this.

Shang Yanxing looked at Jiang Susu, who seemed hesitant to speak, unsure how to change his mind.

I should have assured her last night that Gu Xichen wasn't that kind of person.

The very next day, they got together.

Now Shang Yanxing doesn't know how to explain this to Jiang Susu.

At noon, Shang Yanxing and Jiang Susu had lunch together.

Shang Yanxing asked cautiously, "Madam, are you aware of Mu Sheng and Gu Xichen's affair?"

Jiang Susu stopped eating and looked at Shang Yanxing. "Their affair? What affair? You mean Gu Xichen brought Mu Sheng home?"

Jiang Susu felt that Shang Yanxing was acting strangely; she sensed that this man had something to say to her.

Shang Yanxing shook his head and said, "No, it's just... it seems like the two of them are together."

After speaking, Shang Yanxing observed Jiang Susu's reaction.

Jiang Susu didn't react at first and even hummed in response.

It took Jiang Susu a while to realize what was happening, "You're together? What do you mean by that?"

How could the two of them get together so quickly?

Although she knew that Lin Musheng and Gu Xichen had feelings for each other, she thought it was too soon for them to get together.

Jiang Susu did not believe what Shang Yanxing said.

"Madam, calm down and listen to me. I only just found out about this myself; Gu Xichen told me. Didn't Mu Sheng... tell you about this?" He himself was still a little confused, not knowing what had happened between the two of them.

Jiang Susu shook her head. "No, Mu Sheng didn't tell me about this. Shang Yanxing, are you kidding me? Weren't they just friends last night? How... how did they suddenly get together after just one night?"

Jiang Susu was somewhat skeptical of Shang Yanxing's words.

“I’m also a little skeptical of this, but I don’t think Gu Xichen is joking with me. So, Madam, you should ask Mu Sheng about this and see what really happened.”

It was naturally a good thing that the two of them were together, but this happened so suddenly that he felt something was wrong, so he thought it would be better to ask for clarification.

"Okay, I'll call her in a bit and get to the bottom of this."

"Um."

In the afternoon, Jiang Susu called Lin Musheng and asked her about her relationship with Gu Xichen.

Lin Musheng didn't hide anything and explained everything to Jiang Susu in detail.

After asking, Jiang Susu was finally relieved.

Anyway, this is a matter between Lin Musheng and Gu Xichen, and they have no right to interfere too much.

Actually, she was happy for Lin Musheng because she had also found someone she liked.

Gu Xichen is a pretty good person. Lin Musheng definitely won't suffer if she's with him.

Ever since Jiang Susu gave Shang Yanxing two ties on his birthday, Shang Yanxing has been wearing those two ties every day.

The ones I bought before are now just sitting unused.

That day, when Shang Yanxing returned home, he saw Jiang Susu lying asleep on the sofa, holding an unfinished book in her hand.

Shang Yanxing shook his head, somewhat helplessly. He took off his coat and covered Jiang Susu with it.

How come I always fall asleep while reading?

Shang Yanxing bent down, worried that she might catch a cold, and prepared to carry Jiang Susu back to her room.

Perhaps because Jiang Susu is a light sleeper, she woke up as soon as Shang Yanxing put her in his arms.

"You're back?"

Shang Yanxing placed Jiang Susu back on the sofa. "Hmm. How did Madam fall asleep while reading?"

He wasn't home, and this little woman has been sleeping on the sofa all by herself for who knows how long.

Jiang Susu rubbed her eyes, looking sleepily at Shang Yanxing. "I don't know, I just fell asleep while looking at him." Lately, she's been feeling very tired and sleepy.

I didn't do anything, but I still feel very tired.

“If you’re sleepy in the future, Madam, go back to your room to sleep. How can I feel at ease leaving you alone at home?” He couldn’t wait to bring this little woman to the company so she could be under his watchful eye.

Jiang Susu nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand. You go to work and I'll take good care of myself."

She's a grown woman; she's not incapable of taking care of herself.

"Madam, you seem very tired lately. Are you ill?"

Shang Yanxing also noticed that Jiang Susu had fallen asleep on the sofa alone more than once.

This has happened a few times before.

So he was a little worried that Jiang Susu might be sick.

"Are you sick? I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. I'm probably just too tired."

She is very clear about her own body.

"If Madam feels unwell, you must tell me immediately. You can't hide it from me." Although Jiang Susu said this, Shang Yanxing was still very worried.

Jiang Susu nodded, her eyes crinkling as she said, "Okay, I understand."

In the following days, Jiang Susu would go back to her room to sleep whenever she felt tired.

But each time it takes two or three hours.

She felt very tired even though she hadn't done anything.

Gradually, Jiang Susu herself also sensed that something was wrong.

One time, after Shang Yanxing returned, Jiang Susu was nowhere to be seen.

After searching for a long time, they found her asleep alone in the room.

Shang Yan walked to the bedside, took Jiang Susu's hand, and touched her forehead. Her temperature was normal, and she didn't have a fever.

But at this hour, the young woman was still sleeping, which Shang Yanxing found rather strange.

Jiang Susu slowly woke up and opened her eyes to see Shang Yanxing guarding her bedside.

"You're back so early today?" Jiang Susu hadn't realized she'd slept in so late.

Shang Yanxing looked at her with concern and said, "Why did you sleep so late today, Madam? When did you go to bed?"
