Chapter 107 "Look, you owe me another debt!

Gu Xiangsi was awakened by a very slight sound of keyboard tapping.

When I opened my eyes, the light in the bedroom was still dim, but Fu Sinian was already dressed and sitting on the sofa by the window with his laptop on his lap.

The light from the screen reflected on his well-defined face, his expression was rare and focused, even... with a hint of subtle solemnity.

He seemed to notice that she was awake, and he looked away from the screen and looked at her: "Awake?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiangsi sat up, hugging the quilt, and looked at him and the computer curiously, "Are you busy?"

Fu Sinian closed his notebook and said in a calm tone, "A little finishing work."

It seemed like they hadn't been this close for a long time. Gu Xiangsi looked at Fu Sinian and felt that the long-closed door in her heart seemed to be gently pushed open by something.

Uncontrollably, her heart was beating fast and furious.

Even the depressed and dull feeling was somewhat dispelled by the hurried rhythm.

Between her and him...

Just as she was stunned, the man's handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her. Gu Xiangsi suddenly came back to her senses: "Mr. Fu, what did you say?"

"I say, your saliva is about to flow out." Fu Sinian's voice was a little teasing.

Gu Xiangsi subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, but there was nothing. "You, you are kidding me!"

"Gu Xiangsi, admit it," he pressed on, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "You just... like my face."

Having been teased so early in the morning, Gu Xiangsi was both angry and embarrassed, her almond-shaped eyes widening.

Fu Sinian was slightly stunned. The light in his eyes was sparkling, just like when they first met, shining brightly.

The next second, Gu Xiangsi grabbed the pillow from the bed and threw it over. Fu Sinian stumbled back half a step, caught the pillow steadily, and smiled even more deeply.

"Boss Fu," she said angrily, "even if your face were enlarged and put on the TV, I think men, women, young and old would stare at it for a few seconds, right?"

After he finished speaking, Gu Xiangsi himself was stunned for a few seconds.

Oh no, why did I say everything that was really in my heart?

Just as she was feeling frustrated, she heard a man's low laughter coming from above her head. "Gu Xiangsi."

He couldn't hide the smile in his tone, "I admit, my face is quite attractive."

He paused, deliberately drawing out his tone: "It seems I should insure my face for hundreds of millions, so that one day..."

"It's easy to be disfigured like today."

As soon as he finished speaking, another pillow hit him in the face.

Gu Xiangsi glared at him with a red face: "Stop being so conceited!"

It was a rare opportunity for Fu Sinian to see a lively person, no longer with a cold and aloof face, keeping people at a distance.

…

"Sisi, happy birthday."

Gu Xiangsi looked at Lin Xiu, who was lying on the hospital bed on the screen with a pale face. Her nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes turned red in an instant.

"Grandma..." Her voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry I couldn't be with you the first time."

"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Lin Xiu's voice was weak after being ill. "Don't cry. Seeing you well makes grandma happy."

As he was speaking, the faces of Nan Yu and Qin Shiwei appeared on the screen.

"Hi, Xiangsi, happy birthday!" they both shouted in unison.

"Thank you." Gu Xiangsi forced a smile.

"Are there any surprises today?" Nan Yu asked with a wink, "Um...what about Mr. Fu? Didn't he celebrate your birthday?"

"He is the boss, I'm just an employee, and we are abroad, it's too troublesome." Gu Xiangsi said in a low voice.

"Then we'll make up for it for you when we get back! You have to be happy." Qin Shiwei shook the thermos in her hand, "Look, grandma is recovering well now. She just drank the porridge I made."

Lin Xiu smiled and nodded, her eyes full of love: "Yes, when you come back, we will have a good reunion."

Even after hanging up the phone, Zhou Ye asked the servant to ask her to go to the third floor to play mahjong, but Gu Xiangsi was absent-minded.

"One cake." Gu Xiangsi played a card, and Zhou Ye immediately said, "Pun."

Zhou Botong watched from the side and asked, "Miss Gu, is there something on your mind?"

Gu Xiangsi replied, "No. It's just... I might not be able to see you give birth. We will be returning home the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, that's nothing." Zhou Ye waved his hand, "I'll give you a video when the time comes. You, my godmother, can't get away."

"good."

Zhou Botong also laughed: "Yeah, maybe we will return to China soon."

Zhou Ye's eyes lit up: "A Tong, are you willing to go back?"

"Why not?" he said. "That's my home after all."

The two chatted and most of the afternoon passed quickly.

Gu Xiangsi originally wanted to ask Li Xiaoyao or a servant to replace her, but Zhou Ye always made excuses, saying that they didn't have much time alone together and she had to accompany him.

It was not until eight o'clock that Zhou Ye said he was hungry, so he led Gu Xiangsi to the sunroom behind the manor.

Gu Xiangsi took a few steps and realized something was wrong: "Why aren't there any street lights behind here?"

"Just follow me." Zhou Ye said, moving closer, "I just heard the servants say that there is the mother land behind this..."

"Maybe you're overthinking it?" Gu Xiangsi supported her carefully.

Zhou Ye lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Could it be that Zhou Botong has a woman outside?"

Gu Xiangsi thought she was probably suffering from anxiety during pregnancy and childbirth, so she said, "Don't think too much. I think he really cares about you."

Just as the two of them reached the door of the glass room, there was a "dong" sound and the lights suddenly came on.

Li Xiaoyao came over pushing a cake. Zhou Ye pulled Gu Xiangsi to the middle of the sun room and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, baby."

Gu Xiangsi was stunned and looked at Zhou Ye: "Did you do this on purpose today?"

Zhou Ye pointed to the side and said, "This is not something I prepared. Someone made it up specifically for you."

Gu Xiangsi then realized that Huang Rong and Fei Guojing were both inside, and they all smiled and said "Happy Birthday".

Fu Sinian was leaning against the glass window, playing with his lighter casually. He looked up and their eyes met.

Li Xiaoyao urged from the side: "Miss Gu, make a wish and blow out the candles."

In the middle of the greenhouse stood a rectangular round table covered with wood beard boards, with porcelain plates neatly arranged and champagne beside it.

Gu Xiangsi made a wish and cut the cake.

After everyone sat down, Gu Xiangsi looked at Fu Sinian on the right and said "thank you".

Fu Sinian just held the champagne glass and said lightly: "Don't get drunk again tonight."

Gu Xiangsi looked at the champagne in front of her. Yes, she couldn't drink much. But today was a rare occasion, so she was willing to have a few more glasses.

As she spoke, she raised her glass, and everyone followed suit, clinking their glasses with laughter. They ate cake and savored the desserts on the table in a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

The evening breeze was cool, carrying the decadent fragrance of roses, mixed with the smell of alcohol, and blowing on Gu Xiangsi's hot cheeks.

She was leaning against the cold iron railing, trying to clear her confused mind.

"Are you really that drunk?"

A deep male voice sounded.

She turned around suddenly.

Fu Sinian stood there at some point, playing with a velvet box between his slender fingers, his posture so relaxed as if he was enjoying the night view.

He didn't give her more time to react. He raised his wrist and handed the box to her.

"Is it for me?" Gu Xiangsi took it hesitantly, his fingertips touching the cold velvet.

The moment she opened the lid of the box, her breathing stopped and her pupils dilated slightly.

"This necklace..." She raised her head suddenly, her voice trembling slightly. "How did it end up with you?"

Fu Sinian just chuckled, and the laughter was wrapped in the wind and had no warmth.

"Is this amount of money worth pawning again?"

He took a few steps forward, approaching her, casting an oppressive shadow over her, and the scent of wood and champagne almost touched her skin.

"Gu Xiangsi, if you need money, you won't ask me to borrow it? Do you only use your pride against me?"

Before she could organize her words, he leaned against the railing beside her, his eyes sweeping over the large patch of dark red rose bushes, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather.

"Be my assistant."

After a brief pause, he turned his head, his eyes filled with emotion that was hard to discern, but his words were crystal clear, striking her heart.

"Look, you've added to the amount you owe me."
