The man's tall figure enveloped her, and Gu Baiwei's first thought was to call for help.
But the moment our eyes met, for some reason, something seemed to get stuck in my head.
She just stared blankly as the man approached.
Only when she saw the man reach out his hand to her did she belatedly realize that she should be shouting for help.
She opened her mouth, but before she could utter a single word, the man's large hand covered her mouth: "Shh, Weiwei, it's me."
A deep, magnetic voice sounded in my ear, strangely familiar.
As she got closer, she could smell a faint, cool fragrance emanating from the man, which smelled very pleasant, and she felt as if she had smelled this scent somewhere before.
But for a moment, I couldn't remember it at all.
Before I knew it, I was pinned against the wall.
The man covered her mouth with one hand and pressed the other hand against the wall beside her.
By the faint moonlight streaming through the window, I lowered my eyes and met her gaze.
Although he was backlit and her face was not fully visible, Gu Baiwei could still make out the man's deep facial features through the interplay of light and shadow.
Judging from his appearance alone, she inexplicably felt that this man must be extremely handsome.
Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and stared at the person he had been thinking about day and night, without blinking, as if he was afraid that if he blinked, the person would disappear from his sight again.
Over the past three days, he has used almost all of his connections to finally find a clue about Gu Baiwei.
Without waiting for detailed planning, he broke in alone under cover of night.
Not knowing where she was hidden, he searched room by room, and luckily he found her in no time.
"Weiwei, I'll take you away right now."
When the person he had been longing for appeared before him, Shen Yanqing wanted to give her a big hug, but he was afraid of disturbing the people in the house.
He could only force himself to hold back and restrain himself from grabbing her wrist.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through the web of his hand that was covering Gu Baiwei's mouth.
"Weiwei, you..."
He looked down in surprise and met Gu Baiwei's bright eyes.
Those eyes were as clear and bright as ever, but there was a hint of unfamiliarity in them when they looked at him.
Shen Yanqing felt a sudden tightness in his chest: "Weiwei, don't you recognize me?"
The moment she met his deep, dark eyes, Gu Baiwei's breath hitched slightly. She took two steps to the side, then stared at him warily: "Who are you? What do you want?"
Just as Shen Yanqing was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, accompanied by hurried footsteps. Clearly, his whereabouts had been discovered.
When Shen Yanqing met Gu Baiwei's unfamiliar gaze, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He hardened his heart and decided to knock her unconscious and take her away.
But as soon as she got closer, Gu Baiwei grabbed a vase from the nearby bookshelf and held it high above her head: "Don't come any closer, or I'll smash this vase and attract everyone here."
Unless absolutely necessary, Gu Baiwei did not want Qi Yu to know that she had sneaked into the study.
But if the man continues to push his luck, she will have no choice but to risk protecting herself first.
At that moment, the footsteps outside the door grew closer, indicating that someone was approaching.
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously tensed up.
She was clutching the vase tightly in her hand, her face showing tension yet trying to appear calm.
Shen Yanqing suddenly smiled: "How about we cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Baiwei looked up at him in surprise...
The footsteps quickly stopped at the door.
Nightshade gave a wink to the men in black following behind her, and they quickly scattered and surrounded the study.
Ye Mei stood at the door of the study, staring coldly at the door, a sneer curling at the corner of her mouth.
That ignorant rat, once she catches someone, she'll definitely chop him up and throw him down to feed the creatures in the cellar.
When they first noticed someone had broken in, they quickly dispersed to search every corner of the yard.
Now, apart from the woman's room and study, the rat has nowhere to hide.
The master has already gone to see that woman; now only the study remains.
He'd better stay obediently in the study, otherwise he might not even be able to die if he runs into his master.
She smiled happily and reached out to push open the study door.
My gaze swept over every corner of the study, and I could keenly smell the faint scent of pine wood.
Tsk, what a pity, just a mouse with nothing but fun.
She swayed her slender waist and circled the study once, but soon her delicate eyebrows furrowed. The mouse had already left.
It was obvious that he had been to the study, but for some reason he left halfway through.
Nightshade's brows quickly relaxed, and a pleased smile curved her lips. "Tsk, it's been a long time since I've seen Master do things himself. It must be very interesting."
Meanwhile, Gu Baiwei was led back to her room by Shen Yanqing.
Just as the two closed the window, Qi Yu's voice came from outside the door: "Weiwei, are you asleep?"
Gu Baiwei tensed up immediately, quickly looked around the room, and finally her gaze fell on the bed, silently signaling Shen Yanqing to hide on the bed.
Seeing him hide under the covers, Gu Baiwei immediately went over and pulled down all the bed curtains to cover the entire bed.
I thought about it but wasn't entirely at ease; I felt it was still too obvious.
Qi Yu could easily discover the anomaly simply by walking over and lifting the bed curtains; this was absolutely unacceptable.
After much hesitation, she made up her mind, took off her outer garment, lifted the covers, and lay down on the bed herself.
Shen Yanqing hid under the covers, smelling her unique fragrance on the blankets, and her body stiffened for a moment.
Soon the blanket was pulled back, and a pair of long legs, clad only in underwear, reached into the blanket.
When her gaze fell upon that white, smooth expanse, Shen Yanqing felt as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her forehead at that moment.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he awkwardly forced himself to look away.
In the past, many women had thrown themselves at him, and some had even stripped naked and climbed into his bed to offer themselves to him.
When he faced those women, he felt nothing but disgust, but now, a pair of legs had made him lose his composure.
It was almost uncontrollable that I couldn't take my eyes off it completely.
How pathetic! It's not like we haven't seen this before!
He cursed inwardly, but the next moment, Gu Baiwei crawled into the quilt, her smooth back almost touching his face.
It was dark under the covers, making it difficult to see clearly, but my other senses were amplified almost instantly.
Shen Yanqing could clearly smell the pleasant, light fragrance emanating from Gu Baiwei, and could even imagine how smooth and delicate the skin she had touched was based on the unconscious touch just now.
"Weiwei, if you don't answer, I'm coming in by myself."
Qi Yu waited outside the door for a long time without receiving a response from Gu Baiwei, and his face visibly darkened.
