Chapter 70
Gu Hengsheng put the takeaway on the coffee table. His cell phone rang again, and he walked to the window to answer it.
Gu Qingyue reached over, untied the bag, opened all the lunch boxes, and arranged them neatly. After Gu Hengsheng hung up the phone and came over, she said, "I'll just have some soup."
Gu Hengsheng smiled and said yes. He sat down on the sofa across from her. The sofa was about the same height as the coffee table. Gu Qingyue found it a bit difficult to drink soup from the sofa, so she simply sat cross-legged on the floor. Meanwhile, Gu Hengsheng sat leisurely on the sofa, his legs slightly apart, his back bent like a relaxed, strong bowstring. His posture was quite comfortable. She felt annoyed and asked him, "Isn't it uncomfortable to eat like this?"
"No," he said.
Gu Qingyue scooped a spoonful of soup with a plastic spoon and brought it to her mouth. The tea tree mushrooms helped to relieve the greasiness, and the soup was not too greasy after it went down her throat. After taking two sips, she said, "I need to take a shower later."
"There are bathrobes in the bathroom," he said.
Gu Qingyue uttered a soft "oh" and drank half a bowl. She put down the plastic spoon, rested her chin on her knees and said, "I originally thought that coming to Yanjiang might get a scolding from Grandpa, but luckily nothing happened. If Grandpa wasn't so bad at judging people, he would definitely give me two million and let me leave you quickly."
Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng laughed: "There won't be such a plot. Besides, before being with you, I only considered you. After being together, the future direction of our relationship also depends on you."
Gu Qingyue knelt on the ground, leaning towards him, her hands climbing up to his neck, causing him to lower his head, and then gently kissed the corner of his lips. She said, "That sounds nice, but if this situation really happened, and I took the money and left, what would you do?"
Gu Hengsheng held her waist with his hand and said, "I'll offer you a higher price to keep you."
Gu Qingyue was delighted by his words, her eyes curved, and she added, "I won't leave, because only by staying with you can I make money."
"Smart girl." He raised his hand and touched her face, saying gently.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Gu Qingyue went to the bathroom to wash up. The rushing water fell on her body, and her skin turned red from the hot water. The bathroom was misty.
Gu Qingyue finished her shower and came out. He had already cleaned up the takeout boxes on the coffee table. There was a glass of warm water on the coffee table. Gu Qingyue picked up the glass, took two sips of water, and said, "I'm done."
"Okay." Gu Hengsheng took off his watch and placed it on the coffee table. He stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Gu Qingyue took his watch, played with it for a while, and put it back on the coffee table.
When Gu Hengsheng finished washing up, he saw Gu Qingyue standing on a sofa, reaching for the mural on the wall. She was wearing a white bathrobe, and the end of the robe had risen as she reached out, revealing a section of her slender calf. Her toenails were painted with cardamom-red nail polish, and in the darkness, they looked like a small flower slowly blooming.
Gu Hengsheng approached and stood behind her. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Gu Qingyue turned around and said, "I want to see if there is any graffiti behind this mural."
When she took it off, she found the back of the mural clean and tidy, without a trace of graffiti. Disappointed, she hugged the frame and explained, "How could Brooke find a mural with graffiti on it?"
"Who's Brooke?" he asked.
"In a movie, the characters are in a hotel with the male lead, and they're trying to remove a mural from a guest room. There's some graffiti on the back by some other guests," she said. "Or, could I add a few strokes on the back now? Will that get you in trouble?"
Gu Hengsheng smiled slightly, and said in an indulgent tone: "That won't happen. At most, you'll have to pay a little more for the room."
Gu Qingyue shook her head: "I'd better not cause you any trouble."
She hung the mural back on the wall and pretended to jump off the sofa, but Gu Hengsheng had already taken her down from the sofa. He didn't help her put it down, but carried her to the bed.
Gu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little nervous when her back was pressed against the soft bed, even though this was her second time. Gu Hengsheng seemed to see what she was thinking. He raised his hand and dimmed the ceiling light in the bedroom, leaving only a wall lamp on.
He moved his face closer to that place, his expression focused. Gu Qingyue looked at it for a while, and her face felt slightly hot. She buried her face in his shoulder with difficulty, and all the shyness and embarrassment that were about to come out disappeared on his shoulder.
Gu Qingyue grasped his strong arm, clasped in front of her, like a drowning person clinging to a floating wisp of duckweed. She felt like a small boat in the middle of a storm, floating up and down with the waves, finally sinking into the dark sea, leaving only peace.
Gu Qingyue and her mother stayed in Yanjiang for two days before returning to Huai City. On the way to Su's residence, Gu Qingyue received a call from Su Xi. Su Xi's tone was filled with anxiety as she spoke. "Qingyue, I have a favor to ask of you."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyue was a little confused. She had been with Su Xi for so many years, but she had never seen her so flustered. She glanced at her mother beside her and asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xi was already in a state of panic and her words were incoherent. She said, "Linsheng is involved in some things. I hope you can talk to Hengsheng and ask him to help?"
Gu Qingyue had also read in the media about Gu Linsheng's case: an official surnamed Wu had been brought down, and Gu Linsheng was implicated. He was also implicated in bribery, amounting to eight figures. The punishment he faced was predictable. The old man couldn't even remember people anymore, so those who had once been close to him turned a blind eye, disavowing themselves whenever possible. It was better to avoid further entanglement than more.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Su Xi said anxiously, "The car accident that happened to Aunt Gu last time had nothing to do with Lin Sheng. It was just Gu Yisheng's arm. Qingyue, I only ask this one thing of you."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyue's face turned pale. Worried that her mother was right beside her, she whispered, "Is my mother's case related to the Gu family?"
"Yes." Su Xi asked, "Didn't Auntie tell you?"
"No." Gu Qingyue shook her head.
Su Xi took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself. She said slowly, "Hengsheng taking over the Gu family naturally posed a threat to them. It was just a warning to scare them. Because you and Hengsheng were close at that time, I think this was probably one of the reasons why he didn't accept you."
"Auntie may have thought of this and wanted you to study abroad, but Gu Linsheng promised me that he wouldn't touch you. Qingyue, I only ask this of you. No matter what, Gu Linsheng is also his brother."
