Chapter 380 The Closed-Off Young Master 14 Gu Yanqing turned his gaze back to the screen, seemingly very satisfied with the answer.
The movie continues, and the second half shows the male and female protagonists reuniting after many years, feeling lost and melancholic as everything has changed.
But Zi Xi couldn't concentrate on it.
The weight on my shoulders felt natural and warm, and my breathing became regular and reassuring.
In the darkness, her senses were amplified; she could clearly hear her own heartbeat gradually stabilizing and feel the complete trust the boy beside her relied on.
Zi Xi quietly turned her head and, using the changing light and shadow on the screen, looked at Gu Yanqing's profile as he focused on watching the movie.
Gu Yanqing's long eyelashes trembled occasionally, and her beautiful eyes reflected the shimmering light of the movie scene.

On the terrace of the penthouse apartment in Junyue Mansion, Yang Ruxuan lay lazily on a lounge chair, holding a glass of champagne in her hand.
This kind of life is leisurely and luxurious, without the need to struggle for a living.
This is exactly the life she envisioned.
"...Yes, many people are eyeing the Gu family's project, but I heard they've been having some minor trouble lately."
Wang Jianguo walked out of the room, his phone pressed to his ear, his tone shrewd and diplomatic, typical of a businessman.
Upon hearing the name Gu family, Yang Ruxuan's ears immediately perked up, but on the surface, she maintained a nonchalant demeanor as she sipped her champagne.
"Gu Yanqing?"
"What problem could that foolish young master have?"
Wang Jianguo's sudden increase in tone made Yang Ruxuan's hand tremble slightly, almost spilling the golden liquid in her glass.
Yang Ruxuan put down her wine glass and pretended to adjust the belt of her bathrobe, but in reality, she was listening intently to the phone call.
"...Ordering takeout from the same restaurant every day, what's so strange about that? Rich people have all sorts of quirks."
"Wait, you're saying he's got his eye on the young girl who delivers food?"
"A fool who never leaves his house likes to deliver takeout?"
Wang Jianguo laughed heartily, but his laughter suddenly stopped.
Yang Ruxuan's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers unconsciously tightened.
"What's the Gu family's attitude? ...They tacitly approved of it and still hired her as a private delivery person?"
"That idiot, you actually plan to let him get married, have children, and inherit the Gu family business?"
"It's better to have another child while you're still young."
As Wang Jianguo spoke, he walked to the edge of the terrace, his back to Yang Ruxuan.
"Alright, thanks for letting me know, brother. I'll treat you to drinks another day."
"What's wrong?"
Wang Jianguo hung up the phone, turned around and saw Yang Ruxuan's tense face, raised an eyebrow and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a little cold."
She quickly put on a nonchalant expression.
"I just heard something interesting. The foolish young master of the Gu family has become infatuated with a food delivery girl. Not only did the Gu family not stop her, they officially hired her as their private delivery person, and her monthly salary is said to be around this amount."
Wang Jianguo didn't suspect anything and just made a gesture on his own.
Yang Ruxuan felt her cheeks burning, and a mixture of humiliation and anger surged through her veins.
"Really? That girl must be very pretty."
She tried her best to keep her voice steady.
"Pretty? She's just a delivery driver, probably not very educated."
"I heard that the idiot in the Gu family is completely obedient to her. All the caregivers the Gu family hired in the past tried their best, but they couldn't get any reaction from him."
Wang Jianguo scoffed.
She recalled how, in her past life, she racked her brains to please Gu Yanqing, and endured his strange behavior and sudden emotional fluctuations.
Now, a food delivery worker, a low-class girl she had never paid any attention to, has effortlessly gained the attention she had always dreamed of.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Mr. Wang noticed her unusual behavior.
"I just found it...very interesting."
