Chapter 1907
The following day.
When I went downstairs for breakfast in the morning, I found Gu Han out early.
It wasn’t until ten o’clock, when I was reading in the sun in the backyard, that he appeared with his briefcase and, without saying anything, pulled out the chair next to him and started working.
The maid came over with a plate of cut fruit, and Gu Han’s mobile phone rang just at that moment, so he took it to the promenade not far away to make a call, glancing over towards me every now and then.
“Miss Shen.” The maid suddenly pointed at the milk in front of me and said, “The milk will get cold if you don’t drink it.”
The underlings in Gu Han’s family were all good to me, so I didn’t think much of it, picked up the cup and tilted my head to finish it.
When I looked down to put the cup away, I suddenly noticed that a note had been placed in the place where I had put it.
I looked up at the maid and saw that he was giving me a desperate wink. I immediately understood and hurriedly picked up the note and put it in my jacket pocket.
After putting it away, I subconsciously glanced at Gu Han.
Gu Han happened to be walking this way, “Is there something on my face?”
“No.” I calmly responded and calmly got up and stretched, yawning as I said, “I’m a bit sleepy, I’ll go to my room and lie down for a while.”
I didn’t know who had passed the message through the maids, let alone what was inside, but I couldn’t open it in front of Gu Han for fear he would see something unusual, so I had to take one step at a time and walk very slowly.
I finally got into the bedroom and locked the bathroom door behind me before I took out the note, and once I opened it, I frowned strangely.
The note neither identified itself nor pulled too much to seek my trust; it was a simple sentence that breathed a slow confidence.
“Tonight at nine, GTA 608.”
The writing was so timeless that one subconsciously felt it was worth a try.
This place, the Golden Tripod, felt very familiar.
After reading it twice in silence to make sure I had it down, I rushed to tear up the note and rushed away.
As he walked past, he bumped into Gu Han, who walked in. He had little expression on his face, perhaps because his heart was weak, he breathed a little more sharply.
“You have absolute privacy in this house, not enough to go to the toilet and lock the door.” Gu Han should have heard the sound of the lock being unlocked earlier.
“It’s probably a habit that’s been around before.” I said casually.
Gu Han’s eyes flickered slightly and he didn’t know what came to mind, he actually didn’t suspect, “It could be, as long as you’re happy, I just don’t want you to feel so insecure.”
“No,” I tugged awkwardly at the corners of my mouth and stretched out my hands in a pretentious manner, “It’s comfortable to stay here, you’re taking good care of me aren’t you?”
Gu Han didn’t answer the question, but just gave an intriguingly light smile.
Inexplicably, a suspicion arose in my heart that he didn’t seem to have complete trust in me either.
……
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
The light was turned off in his room an hour later, as Gu Han’s routine was basically in sync with mine.
The maid who handed me the note in the morning seemed to have expected me to show up for my appointment, and when she came downstairs she was already waiting for me at the door leading to the backyard.
“Miss Shen, this way.”
Having decided to go, I naturally didn’t doubt it and quietly padded along with her in the direction of the back door.
I was afraid I wouldn’t know what to do, but I deliberately put on the double blinkers to signal me to get in.
I stepped forward tentatively and saw the number plate, but I had a very familiar feeling.
This completely dispelled my worries and I deliberately quickened my pace for fear of being stopped by Gu Han.
Chapter 1908
On the way to the GTA, I kept wondering if the person who was going to meet me would be the Zuo Xicheng I met at the French restaurant today.
After all, I’ve lost a lot of weight now, and I should be quite different from what I used to be. It’s only been a few hours since I left the house, so I’m not so bad as to be recognised just by brushing past someone.
After getting out of the car, I realised that everything just seemed like it had been arranged a long time ago.
There was a special waiter waiting for me at the entrance of the hotel, and I was introduced directly into box 608.
When I entered, I secretly enquired with the waiter that 608 was a VIP room at the Golden Tripod, and only the most distinguished guests were eligible to book it.
It seemed that the people who wanted to meet me were either rich or noble.
I walked in and looked around the room with the sofa, and it wasn’t long before the sound of the door opening came from outside.
High heels, a trolley, and, of course, a trivial and disruptive trot.
Then came the child’s childish voice, “I have my own plans, I don’t want you to worry about them.”
“Zhi’an, it’s time to eat later, put down the microcomputer, didn’t Auntie tell you to concentrate on everything you do, no sloppiness.” The woman’s voice was a little strong, but she could hear that she was still patient.
“That’s you,” the small child muttered, unwilling to comply, “I can and will …… funny.”
Probably too young to express himself fully yet.
“Murong Zhian, put the microcomputer away.” Courtesy first, the woman’s voice became strong.
The child did not respond, seemingly ignoring her words outright.
“I told you to put it away!” The woman ordered loudly.
“Humph! You’re not my mother, so who are you to discipline me! Slightly, slightly, slightly!”
As the young and old argued, it was very much a picture of a bear child giving an old mother a hard time, so I couldn’t help but laugh and feel bad for the woman.
It wasn’t a good time for outsiders to be present, and I couldn’t be seen from their position, so I moved quietly to make sure that the partitioned wall covered me up.
At that moment a dull footstep sounded, and the child’s voice immediately cleared, “Fu Cis!”
“Shen Yan, you’re here.” The woman called out the man’s name, and it turned out to be Fu Shen Yan, the richest man.
Fu Shen Yan ignored it, his tone indifferent and serious, “Call daddy.”
Even through a wall, I felt the aura of Fu Shen Yan saying one thing, even more by the child who could not even express himself fully, so I heard the child’s mumbling and meek voice, “Daddy.”
But the next second, and quaintly called out, “Fu Xis!”
And then the little feet doodled on the floor, as if afraid of angering his old father, who was really naughty.
Fu Shen Yan didn’t really get angry with him, and let him go in silence.
A few moments later, the woman’s throaty, gentle voice rang out, “Shen Yan, we haven’t eaten together for two months, so let me stay with you and Zhi An for a little longer today.”
Fu Shen Yan’s attitude was not very good, his indifferent voice was interspersed with obvious distancing, “Some things are meant to be gifts, since you can’t teach children, don’t go near Murong Zhi’an in the future.”
“What are you trying to say?” The woman, probably not expecting a hot face, was a little taken aback.
“If you can’t even understand human words, the child is even less able to have more contact with you.” Fu Shen Yan’s voice sounded as if it was hardened with ice, and I felt the awkwardness through a wall.
