Shen Yanqing coughed lightly twice, changing the subject: "Weiwei, are you hungry? Shall we have breakfast now?"
She was about to say she wasn't hungry when her stomach started growling first.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, she nodded demurely, and slowly walked downstairs.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the sky was bright.
The bright sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows illuminated the living room.
The tall, long-legged man sat at the dining table, a steaming cup of coffee on his left and a newspaper in his right.
He leaned back in his chair, his body bathed in the morning light, as if he were shining brightly.
Gu Baiwei subconsciously glanced at it a couple more times, her gaze lingering on a certain spot, and she inexplicably felt a dryness in her mouth.
The collar of his pristine white shirt was slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone. The well-fitting fabric, due to his current sitting posture, subtly revealed the well-defined, muscular lines beneath the thin fabric.
Gu Baiwei inadvertently recalled the scene she saw yesterday when she helped him change his clothes.
Unlike his refined and gentle appearance, once the man takes off his clothes, he is all muscle, with an inverted triangle body and solid muscle texture. He is the epitome of "looking slim when dressed but muscular when undressed".
Her face flushed slightly. To prevent herself from succumbing to his good looks, she deliberately chose a seat that was some distance away from him.
Seeing her actions, Shen Yanqing frowned unhappily, his deep eyes looking at her: "Come here."
Gu Baiwei immediately refused: "I'd rather not, I'm fine sitting here."
"You're not coming, are you?"
Shen Yanqing stared at her and spoke softly. After a while, he took a long stride and sat down next to her, instructing the nanny to remove all the other chairs.
Gu Baiwei: "..." What's with this childish feeling that's reminiscent of a domineering CEO in a romance novel?
"Weiwei, you're not avoiding me, are you?"
He looked down at her, his eyes full of mockery.
Gu Baiwei held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask him tentatively, "Um, do you still remember what happened last night?"
"What's up?"
"It was when you hugged my leg and called me 'Mommy'..."
Before she could finish speaking, with a crack, the coffee cup that Shen Yanqing was holding shattered on the ground, breaking into pieces.
He coughed lightly, his face cold as he gritted his teeth: "You'd better forget."
Gu Baiwei poked the table in front of her in dissatisfaction: "Seeing you reminds me of you. Why did you have to stay so close to me?"
She never expected that the usually refined and elegant Mr. Shen would be like that when drunk.
She had just finished taking off his dirty clothes last night when he pounced on her. Just when she thought he was going to take advantage of her, he unexpectedly squatted down and hugged her thigh tightly.
"Mom, I want to hear a bedtime story."
He looked at her with an exceptionally handsome face and an innocent, childlike expression, making her involuntarily think of the words "Mommy, I want to hear a bedtime story" whenever she saw him.
The food was served quickly, and because of this little incident, the table became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After dinner, Shen Yanqing had to go to the company to handle work, so Gu Baiwei decided to take Ye Chuyue with her to visit the young couple.
She had just changed her clothes and stepped out when she ran into Song Anze, whose face was pale and whose eyes were bloodshot.
"Dr. Song?"
Gu Baiwei wasn't too surprised to see that he was still wearing the same clothes he wore at yesterday's wedding banquet.
Doctors are very busy; they probably left yesterday and have been working overtime until now.
Upon hearing her voice, Song Anze first looked past her to behind her, and saw that she was alone, with a hint of disappointment on her face.
Gu Baiwei immediately understood: "Yan Qing just went to the company."
"I'm not here to see him."
Song Anze was silent for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Yueyue isn't here?"
He couldn't sleep after going home last night, and no one answered his phone when he called Ye Chuyue. He went to the Ye family's old house early this morning to look for her, only to find out that she wasn't home at all.
Gu Baiwei then remembered that yesterday, Ye Chuyue dragged Li Nanxing to wash his face but he splashed water all over her, so she ended up booking a hotel room as well.
"Not here."
As soon as he spoke, Song Anze's expression clearly showed a hint of disappointment.
"If you want to find her, we can go together. She should be at the hotel with Li right now, not up yet."
She noticed that Song Anze's face had become noticeably paler as soon as she finished speaking.
He suddenly bent over, clutching his chest, looking pained, which startled her.
"What happened to you? Should I take you to the hospital?"
"It's okay, I'll go back now."
After saying that, he drove away without waiting for her to speak.
Judging from his brisk walk, it shouldn't be anything serious, especially since he himself is a doctor.
With that in mind, she stopped paying too much attention and instead dialed Ye Chuyue's number.
"Hello, Auntie."
Ye Chuyue's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yueyue, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Don't even mention it. That idiot Li Nanxing didn't sleep at night and insisted on singing to me. Damn it, he sang at my door for half the night, and the worst part is that he sang terribly."
Gu Baiwei: "..." This person is just like Boss Shen, quite split when drunk.
"I'm going to your brother and sister-in-law's place, want to come along?"
"Yes, yes, that guy Ye Sinian owes me a red envelope from yesterday, and I have to make him pay it back today."
Ye Chuyue rubbed her hands together excitedly on the other end of the phone before hanging up.
Less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, Gu Baiwei drove to the hotel.
She had just stepped out of the elevator when she ran into Li Nanxing, who was coming out of the door.
Just as I was about to say hello, I suddenly saw his face clearly and almost burst out laughing.
