"I don't know." Xun Ting's lips twitched. How come she never noticed before that Gu Tian was such a shameless person?
"I don't know what you're doing in there? You think you can live in here? That's ridiculous!" Gu Tian laughed sarcastically, then looked her up and down.
I don't think someone like her can really live in a place like this. Even Gu Jia can't afford to buy a house here!
"What a coincidence, I live right here." Xun Ting walked right past her.
Walk to the villain's villa, open the door, and go inside.
Gu Tian watched this scene from behind, gritting her teeth in anger. Xun Ting actually lived here?
She's so poor, how could she afford to live here!
Gu Tian waited there for a long time and sent many WeChat messages but didn't get a reply. She was furious. That little dwarf was really arrogant!
...
Xun Ting sat on the sofa, resting her chin on her hand, feeling a void in her heart, as if something was missing. The villa suddenly... was so quiet, without a single person in it.
She's getting a little used to having the villain around...
This…she…
The villa gate was not closed, and Gu Zhu walked in as soon as he returned. "Young Madam, have you eaten?"
"No."
"Then I'll have someone make it for you right away." At this moment, Gu Zhu looked at the young mistress as if she were a hero. He actually managed to get Jiang Zhu away and bring him back.
He almost questioned his existence in that godforsaken place; it was so hopeless, hot, and exhausting.
"Master Huo, he..."
"Don't worry, Madam. Mr. Huo is just busy with work outside, nothing else."
"How much longer will he be working?" Xun Ting couldn't help but ask directly, after all, this was the first time the villain had been away on a business trip for so long.
"Well... let me call and ask for you." Assistant Gu couldn't wait to take out his phone and make a call.
"No need, no need." Xun Ting immediately tried to stop her. What was the point of asking about the villain? She didn't really want the villain to come back; she was just asking casually.
"Young Madam, the call has gone through."
"Hey, Mr. Huo."
Gu Zhu had the hands-free mode on, so the voice on the other end was clearly audible to Xun Ting.
"explain."
"The young mistress wanted to ask when you would be returning, but she was shy, so she asked me to ask her." Assistant Gu said this in an extremely exaggerated manner.
He absolutely cannot let Master Huo feel that his presence is superfluous; he must be a great wingman!
"I didn't." Xun Ting's face turned red, and she stood there at a loss for what to do.
She just asked casually, so how did it become that she was shy and didn't dare to ask?
"Call her." The man's voice on the other end was much more cheerful, and didn't sound so gloomy anymore.
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
"Hello." Xun Ting reluctantly took the phone.
"Missing me?"
"..."
"I'm going back tomorrow."
Upon hearing this answer, Xun Ting felt a slight surge of joy, but his words remained stiff: "Okay."
"Buy whatever you want."
"I will."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xun Ting glanced at Gu Zhu and said, "You even dare to lie?"
“Young Madam, weren’t you just asking when Master Huo would be back? Well… I’m sorry, I misheard you. I hope you can forgive me, after all, I’m getting old.”
Assistant Gu lowered his head slightly, sounding like he was apologizing, but his words implied that she shouldn't hold it against him.
"No wonder you're still single at your age, you're hard of hearing." Xun Ting's lips twitched. She couldn't believe it was someone who was hard of hearing at her age; it was clearly intentional!
"Yes, yes, the young mistress's teachings are correct."
After returning from that godforsaken place, Gu Zhu understood perfectly that from now on, the young mistress of this household would be the most powerful.
