Gu Zhichuan had long been waiting for Lin Gantangâs call. After his phone number had been blocked, he could not get a reply from her when he tried to contact her with an unknown number. He did not expect that when he finally got a call, he would get receive her angry words instead.
He wanted to change the impression Lin Gantang had of him, but he did not expect Shi Muzhen to cause trouble behind his back. How could he not be angry?
Gu Zhichuanâs rage was rising. He dialed Shi Muzhenâs number and blew up at her. âWhat did you say to Gantang? Shi Muzhen, Iâve said all Iâve had to say. Do you have to be obsessed with this?â
Shi Muzhen, who was initially overjoyed to see Gu Zhichuan taking the initiative to look for her, heard his curses. She gripped her phone tightly. âDid she look for you?â
âIf she didnât look for me, I wouldnât have known that you went to look for her behind my back.â Gu Zhichuan was disgusted by Shi Muzhen. âYouâll only annoy me more by doing this. You wonât get anything from me. If you make things difficult for Lin Gantang again, donât blame me for not being polite to you.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
So, it was to avenge Lin Gantang. Shi Muzhenâs eyes turned red. âDo you really care about her that much?â
âWho I care about has nothing to do with you.â Gu Zhichuan was very cold.
âOkay, I wonât look for her.â A trace of viciousness flashed across Shi Muzhenâs reddened eyes. âHowever, I have a condition. I hope that you can sit down and have a good talk with me.â
âWhatâs there to talk about between us?â
âWhat are you worried about?â Shi Muzhenâs words were laced with a thought- provoking smile, her eyes scheming. âWeâll talk at the Gu residence tonight. Itâs your home. Are you afraid that Iâll do something?â
Gu Zhichuan agreed to her request in order to make her give up completely and stop bothering him and Lin Gantang.
However, when he returned home, he found that it was quiet and Shi Muzhen was not there yet.
He went back to his room and hung up his coat. âWhere are my dad and the others?â he asked the maid who poured him water.
The maid handed him a glass of water. âSir went out this morning and hasnât returned yet. Madam went out two hours ago and said she wanted to get a facial. She shouldnât be home so soon.â
Gu Zhichuan was thirsty, so he sat down and drank the water. He waved his hand to signal her to continue with her work.
The maid left the room, but she didnât go far. She hid outside the room and listened to the movements inside. After a while, she stuck her head out and looked inside. When she saw that he was leaning against the back of the chair and didnât move, she immediately ran forward.
That night, Gu Zhichuan had an absurd dream. In the dream, there was him and the person he liked. When they were deeply in love, she wanted to escape but was caught by him.
It was a very happy dream.
However, when he woke up, he realized that it had not been a dream, and the person in front of him was not Lin Gantang, but a naked Shi Muzhen.
Gu Zhichuanâs brain buzzed.
He immediately got up and put on his clothes.
Shi Muzhen was startled awake by his actions. She curled up at the head of the bed and covered her body with the blanket.
Gu Zhichuan, who was dressed properly, had a storm brewing in his eyes. He was furious and gnashed his teeth. âIs this what you said? Come home and have a good talk with me?â
âGu Zhichuan, you didnât ask anything or investigate anything. You just scolded me when you opened your eyes and accused me? I came to your house last night and saw the maid climbing into your bed.â Shi Muzhen looked unhappy. âI came in to look for you and happened to see it and chased her away. You grabbed me and called me Tangtang. You were the one who messed around, and now youâre blaming me?â
Gu Zhichuan thought of the glass of water that the maid handed him when he got home. He could not help but recall the time he was drugged on the night of the dinner party last year.
âShi Muzhen, this isnât the first time youâve drugged me. Do you think Iâll believe you!â
