After leaving home, Gu Xiuyuan went straight to the company.
The idea of taking a break was disrupted by the quarrel between the two.
When Su Yan called, he hung up in annoyance.
Zhou Rui watched from the side, not knowing what the boss was thinking.
He had been watching the entanglement between him and Su Yan from beginning to end.
The chairman's wife could not tolerate Su Yan, so they were forced to separate, and later she was forced to marry someone she did not love.
Now that Su Yan is back, he thought Boss would divorce his wife regardless of the consequences and get back together with his ex-girlfriend, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of getting a divorce.
He was a little confused about this.
He takes good care of Su Yan, but it seems that he is not too enthusiastic; he doesn’t seem to like that person at home... very much, but he takes good care of her.
"Did you give her the things?"
"Yes!" Zhou Rui came back to his senses and secretly wiped the sweat off his face. He wondered if he would be thrown into Africa if he was found out about his guessing of the boss's thoughts.
"Go to a housekeeping company and find an honest and hardworking auntie."
Zhou Rui listened and understood instantly.
If the person who took care of Su Yan before had not added fuel to the fire and stirred up trouble, things might not have turned out like this.
"I'll do it right away."
After Zhou Rui left, Gu Xiuyuan lit a cigarette and took a puff irritably.
Looking at the buzzing and vibrating phone, Gu Xiuyuan felt annoyed and directly snatched the phone away.
In the hospital, the phone was not connected, so Su Yan began to send messages persistently.
"Xiuyuan, are you back?"
"I received the key, but I cannot accept it."
"Can you pick me up when I'm discharged from the hospital? Can we meet and talk?"
…
Yuyuan
It was rare for Gu Xiuyuan to get off work on time. When he came back, he didn't see Ji Shuyu in the living room, and he felt a little empty inside.
He thought he would see her as soon as he got off work, thought he would hear her laughter as soon as he entered the door, thought... she would pounce on him as soon as he entered the door.
"Where's the young lady?"
"In the study. He hasn't come down yet."
"Has she had a poor appetite these days?" Gu Xiuyuan, who had already walked up the stairs, stopped.
Seeing that he was waiting for her reply, the aunt took two steps forward and said, "When the master is not at home, the young lady's appetite is just like that. And she has been so busy lately, day and night reversed, as if she is deliberately keeping herself busy."
Gu Xiuyuan listened, tightened his grip a little, and then went upstairs.
In the study, Ji Shuyu was wearing headphones and did not hear his footsteps coming in. When she came back, he had already walked behind her.
"What are you doing? You scared me." She hit him angrily.
Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her hand and asked, "Why are you locked in the study again? Didn't I ask you to get some sleep?"
"I'm not tired." She said listlessly.
"Aren't you tired?" Gu Xiuyuan smiled and leaned close to her ear. "You clearly said at that time... 'I can't do it anymore.'" His hot breath tickled her ear.
cough……
Ji Shuyu choked on her own saliva and looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
She always felt something was wrong.
Was it their rhythm or the atmosphere that was wrong? She felt that things shouldn't be like this!
But from early morning till now, she has been living in a daze. She sat here for an entire afternoon but still couldn't figure anything out.
"I'm not feeling well," he said truthfully.
I feel uncomfortable.
I felt very upset.
He thought he would feel better when he went home, but he didn't see her when he entered the door; he thought he would feel better when he saw her upstairs, but he didn't.
This discomfort seemed... to be because she didn't appear in the living room.
He wanted to see her as soon as he entered the door, and wanted everything to be on track.
"You..." Ji Shuyu looked at him and suddenly understood. "Did they argue again?"
When he was a child, he was like this every time Gu Bin and his wife quarreled.
Gu Xiuyuan sighed tiredly, then hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder, "Yeah."
Ji Shuyu patted his shoulder gently.
"Are you worried about something?" she asked again.
"Now, you don't even want to say my name?" He frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Ah?" She didn't understand for a moment.
Gu Xiuyuan became more and more angry, and then bit her neck in annoyance.
"Ah!" She screamed in pain, clutching her neck and yelling, "Gu Xiuyuan, you're a dog!"
"What did you say to me?" He gritted his teeth.
Gu Xiuyuan? !
Ji Shuyu was frightened by his 'momentum', but, what for? !
Isn't it just a name?
He has been calling her 'Ji Shuyu' all the time for so many years, and she never said anything!
Although he was dissatisfied, he was still sensible and stumbled over and uttered "Xiu Yuan."
Hearing the name as he wished, his tense chest relaxed a little, and then he kissed her hard on the lips as if punishing her.
Ji Shuyu was a little confused and didn't understand where his strange emotion came from.
"You smell like cigarettes." She pushed him.
If this continues, the situation will definitely get out of control again.
Gu Xiuyuan closed his eyes and steadied his breathing, then said, "I'm going to take a shower. Don't be busy, come down and eat!"
Ji Shuyu watched him go out.
Although I couldn't understand what he was thinking, one thing was certain: he was worried.
…
Gu Xiuyuan stood under the cold water for a long time, as if the cold water could wash away his irritability.
After taking a shower, when I habitually reached out to get my clothes, it was still empty.
In an instant, the dispelled irritability and haze returned with a vengeance...
downstairs
Ji Shuyu was chatting with her aunt, and when she mentioned her recent weight loss, she just smiled and said that she was too busy recently and would be fine after a while.
Seeing him coming down, Ji Shuyu chuckled.
She smiled, but it was different from before...
After dinner, Gu Xiuyuan locked himself in the study, feeling increasingly depressed.
I had no intention of dealing with work, so I just went back to my room.
He told himself not to be swayed by such emotions, but all the suppressed annoyance burst out the moment he saw the empty bedroom.
He strode to the study and flung the door open.
Bang——
Ji Shuyu, who was sitting at the desk, was startled by the sudden sound and almost fell off the chair.
"you……"
Seeing her frightened look, Gu Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment.
He thought she was avoiding him on purpose.
"What's wrong?" Ji Shuyu looked at the angry man in confusion.
Gu Xiuyuan paused for a moment and strode into the room.
"It's late, you should rest."
He said, not caring about her opinion, he picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.
The moment her body fell on the bed, Ji Shuyu instinctively wanted to hide, thinking that she still had things to do, but the man's mood was too low.
"Is the work done?"
"I don't want to care." He said tiredly, then pulled her into his arms.
He was more irritable than ever before. Ji Shuyu sighed softly and covered his ears.
The man who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them, looked at the little face in front of him, and kissed the back of her head...
