Suddenly, Yi Shu seemed to remember: "I must have forgotten my phone when I left earlier. It's inside. Oh dear, luckily I thought of ordering a midnight snack, or I would have realized I had to make another trip back after getting home."
Gu Yuan looked at Yi Shu with an icy gaze and coldly reminded, "You can leave now."
Yi Shu panicked, her eyes avoiding contact, she said, "President Gu, I need to go in and get my phone. There's important work information on it. I promise I won't disturb you."
Gu Yuan had an exceptionally bright appearance, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, red lips, and an upturned nose. Her mixed heritage made her features particularly delicate.
At this moment, her brows arched, and her elongated eyeliner enhanced the severity of her facial features: "To tell a convincing lie, you need to look into my eyes while speaking, at least make me believe it."
"..." Yi Shu's heart tightened.
Yi Shu felt her scalp tighten, ultimately watching helplessly as Gu Yuan walked over, input her fingerprint, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Yi Shu's face turned increasingly pale: "It's over..."
...
The 300-square-meter apartment, styled in Syrian decor.
The gigantic floor-to-ceiling window in the living room overlooked most of Sui City. Famous paintings hung on the walls, and valuable ornaments adorned the shelves, exuding sheer luxury.
The familiar environment, everything familiar, soothed Gu Yuan's restless mood.
'Click-'
The master bedroom door opened.
A man wearing a white bathrobe walked out.
Appearing before Gu Yuan was a face of utmost charm and allure, a tear mole at the corner of his eye exuding a bewitching appeal. This face could enchant anyone, and it enchanted her, making her willingly fascinated.
It was hard not to have any amorous thoughts.
It was hard not to fall.
He bathed.
This was Gu Yuan's first thought.
"Yi Shu said you were asleep."
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and took a bath," Chi Yu said.
His brows and eyes were clean and exquisite, his eyelashes thick and attractive, drawing one into a pool of indulgence with just a look.
Gu Yuan thought, wasn't she originally deceived by these eyes?!
As she walked inside, Gu Yuan was observing but found no traces...
"Yi Shu said you've had a packed schedule lately, hardly any time to rest, are you tired?" Gu Yuan asked with her usual gentle eyes and brows.
Chi Yu looked at Gu Yuan, roughly understanding her reason for being here, and replied calmly, "Not tired."
Then, he watched as Gu Yuan stepped into the master bedroom.
Chi Yu didn't follow her, instead, he went to the bar, opened a bottle of soda, and sat by the edge of the sofa, his long legs causally reclined, the silence between them profound.
Shortly after, Gu Yuan came out of the master bedroom's bathroom, with thoughts of the black torn stockings thrown in the trash can occupying her mind.
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.
But when her eyes caught sight of the black lingerie on the bed, Gu Yuan's breath lightened, each step felt as though her feet were weighted with lead. She didn't need to pick it up to know it wasn't hers.
It belonged to another woman.
When Gu Yuan emerged from the master bedroom, she surprisingly wore a smile. She gently told Chi Yu, "Rest early, I won't disturb you."
But after a few steps, she couldn't move any further.
Because Chi Yu rose and embraced her from behind, burying his face in the crook of her neck: "Yuanyuan, I've missed you so much."
Gu Yuan's smile vanished, her face became expressionless as she pried his hands away, turned around and asked him, "How much do you miss me?"
Chi Yu expressed himself with action, lowering his head to kiss her.
