While shoveling rice into his mouth, he asked, "President Gu... has he been back these past few days?"
The butler replied respectfully, "I don't know about that, but Mr. Gu is a very busy person, so it's normal for him not to come home."
That's right. How would he know if Gu Yuan had returned? Even she, as his wife, didn't know, let alone him, a mere housekeeper.
Fu Hange took another bite of rice. "Do you know which woman he's been spending the night with these past few days?"
The butler was somewhat embarrassed by the question, and he answered somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Gu has never been seen with women. As far as I know, he's been staying at that villa in the city center these days. As for whether he's come back or not, and why he hasn't, I really don't know..."
"Thank you. If you have the chance to see him, please pass on a message for me: tell him... to come back soon."
The butler bowed and said, "Yes, sir."
Fu Hange suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Was it inappropriate for someone older than her to bow to her like this?
She then asked, "Have you eaten? Want to eat together?"
The butler, a smile still on his lips, said, "No need, I've already eaten. Miss Xu, please enjoy your meal."
Fu Hange once thought that even if she were rich, she would never be treated like this. Today, she finally understood what it meant to be waited on. Someone cooked delicious food for her and spoke to her with great politeness. So this is what it feels like.
Fu Hange smiled and met the butler's eyes: "You go ahead and do your work, I can manage on my own."
She definitely doesn't like being watched while eating.
The housekeeper nodded and then began cleaning the large house.
After dinner, Fu Hange stared blankly at her black-screened phone. She even wondered if Gu Yuan had deliberately taken the charger, intentionally leaving her to live like a caveman here.
All she did every day was sleep and eat; she was deprived of even the most basic freedom.
Fu Hange felt that this was probably the most boring thing she had ever done in her life.
As evening fell, Fu Hange sat by the French windows waiting for him, wondering when Gu Yuan would be willing to come back.
A cool evening breeze swept over her, and Fu Hange, feeling the chill, put a thin blanket over herself. She stared blankly at the moonlight outside the window.
She remembered that when she first met Gu Yuan, it was a complete accident. She had been drinking and went into his room. Then, due to business interests, she became entangled with him in various ways.
Unfortunately, she fell in love with him during this business trip, but he only cared about his career. Even when there were other women around, the one by his side wasn't her. Later, because she thought she was pregnant, she proposed to him on the last day of their business trip.
Although he gave her the illusion that he had fallen in love with her after their marriage, she only realized after the plagiarism incident was exposed that he only had eyes for Bai Xin, and could even disregard the life of Sun Yuxian.
A cool breeze brushed against her face, and Fu Hange's lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
This is the result of their long entanglement: no matter how hard she tries, he still doesn't love her.
She had never wanted to give up before, but this time, she really wanted to.
Never mind, let's leave it at that.
She was tired.
I don't want to follow in his footsteps anymore.
There was no wind or rain outside the window, but the person inside was shedding tears as if they were falling from a broken string.
She used to not believe that the most painful thing for a person is the memory, but now she does.
It's a pity there's no wine now. If there were, it would be even better. We could drink and sing, facing the moonlight, and leave all our troubles behind.
