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.
The moonlit night was gradually obscured by the sunrise, while the crimson hue on the horizon struggled to climb upwards.
She sat there like that all night.
My eyes feel so dry that even blinking hurts. I feel almost numb. I just want to get sick and be taken to the hospital so I can find Gu Yuan and settle things between them.
But ironically, the more she wanted something to happen, the less likely it was to happen. Even when the sun was high in the sky, she showed no physical reaction whatsoever, not even the most basic sneeze.
The housekeeper arrived shortly after, and she knew that the same boring days were about to repeat themselves.
"Miss Xu, what would you like to eat today?"
"I'm not picky, just do whatever you like."
After all, she didn't have the luxury of being picky about her cooking skills; as long as it was edible, it was fine.
Fu Hange looked at the black-screened phone again, making up her mind.
Fu Hange sneaked into the kitchen, peered through the door, and asked the housekeeper, "Could you do me a favor?"
The sound of oil hitting the pan filled the air, and the butler raised his voice: "Miss Xu, what kind of help do you need?"
Fu Hange put her hands behind her back and pursed her lips: "Could you take me out of here?"
The butler was shocked upon hearing this and immediately turned off the stove.
He walked to the kitchen door, frowned, and asked, "You want to get out of here?"
"Um......"
The butler immediately waved his hand and moved his body accordingly: "Miss Xu, you'd better not think about it. There are so many people watching you outside. Even if I can get you out, you'll be caught and brought back."
"Is there really no other way?" Her voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.
The butler sighed and shook his head: "Unless Mr. Gu personally agrees to let you go out, or he comes back on his own."
Fu Hange perked up, looking at him with her clear eyes: "Then can you help me bring him back?"
"This might be a bit difficult..."
After all, it's normal that Gu Yuan is too busy to come back.
After a pause, the butler added, "Has Mr. Gu not come home at night these past few days?"
Fu Hange shook her head, looking aggrieved. Perhaps she herself didn't realize how beautiful she looked like this.
She waited all night yesterday, until dawn, and hasn't rested at all since.
She just wanted to talk to him. She couldn't stay locked up here forever as his mistress, could she?
It's not that she necessarily wants to divorce him, but she feels that if they continue like this, it will be painful for both of them. If they divorce, she can return to her peaceful life, and he can continue his relationship with his assistant.
But every time I think about this, my heart aches.
"If you want Mr. Gu to come back, I might have a way." The butler's sudden voice broke her thoughts.
Fu Hange leaned closer and asked, "What's the plan?"
The butler leaned close to her ear and said very carefully, "If you pretend to run away, the people outside will definitely report it to President Gu, and then it will be difficult for President Gu not to come."
"That's right!" Fu Hange's mind suddenly clicked. How come she hadn't thought of this method before!
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Housekeeper, you're really quick-witted!"
"Ms. Xu, you flatter me."
Those in their line of work all have the ability to read people's minds. If their master loses his temper one day, they naturally need to be able to read between the lines and choose how to speak safely.
Fu Hange asked softly, "Do you really think that what I'm doing will attract him?"
