Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C17

Gu Luocheng opened the door to a room that was deserted. He helplessly sighed and walked upstairs, hesitating in front of the tightly shut door.

He paced around in front of the door, but he still couldn’t knock on it. He turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?” Shen Xingyue’s haggard voice called out to him, softly inquiring.

“It’s nothing. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?” A trace of panic flashed past her face. Looking at her haggard appearance, she felt somewhat guilty in her heart.

“I’m fine.” With great difficulty, he forced out a smile. He clenched the door tightly as his eyes flickered. He had not come back for the entire night and was reeking of alcohol.

Nodding his head, he said, “That’s good. I’ll go back and sleep for a while. Pay more attention to resting, ao.” Gu Luocheng finished his words, then slowly walked forward.

“Wait.” He quickly came out of the door and called out to his departing figure, “When are we going to grandpa’s place?”

That night, she made a decision. She didn’t know if she was right or wrong, but she wanted to try. She didn’t want to make her future self regret.

“What did you say to grandpa?” He was stunned and turned around. His eyes were filled with excitement, but there was no emotion in them.

He lowered his head and pursed his lips, placing his hands behind his back. With a smile, he raised his head and said, “I’ve thought it through. Professor Shen, your bitter days are coming.”

Gu Luocheng smiled as he strode forward. “Don’t worry about that. I’ve already made my preparations.” He hugged the soft body tightly. He had not slept for two days and two nights. His slightly tired body seemed to have been relieved for a moment.

“Alright, you rest first. I’ll go make you breakfast.” Shen Xingyue smiled and patted his shoulder. She heard a soft snoring sound beside her ear, and helplessly shook her head.

He forcefully pulled his hands apart, using all his strength to drag him into the room. “He looks pretty thin, but he’s so heavy!” He was panting heavily as he sat on the edge of the bed, trying to cool himself down with his hands. She didn’t notice the smile on the corner of the mouth of the person lying on the bed behind her.

After settling down Gu Luocheng, Shen Xingyue walked down the stairs and prepared breakfast. Ever since she made her decision, it was as if she had put down a huge rock, and her mood was exceptionally relaxed.

After breakfast was done, Gu Luocheng didn’t get out of bed yet. After putting everything in the heat preservation cabinet, she turned around and went upstairs. She hadn’t slept for the night, so she was a bit tired now.

Just as he laid down, his phone suddenly rang, “Xingyue, are you up yet? Let’s go!” She had woken up early in the morning, worried that Shen Xingyue would not be able to get out of bed, and would only call after an hour had passed.

“I forgot to tell you. Yesterday, Grandpa Gu called and asked us to go to his place. Can we go there again tomorrow?” Shen Xingyue sat up from the bed with an apologetic expression. She had spent the entire night choosing questions yesterday, leaving the matter of her and Fang Qian having to work part-time behind.

“Then, aren’t you going to meet that damn scoundrel? Right, wasn’t your engagement arranged by that old man surnamed Gu? “Then tell him today, it’s over!” Fang Qian asked worriedly. She knew everything about Shen Xingyue like the back of her hand, so she was extremely disgusted with Gu Chen Yang.

“We’ll talk about it later, wait for my call. Maybe there will be good news when I return today.” Shen Xingyue fiddled with her blanket horn, feeling relaxed.

After hanging up the phone, he fell head first into the quilt to rest for a while. He still had something important to do today.

“How was your rest?” When she went downstairs, she saw Gu Luocheng already sitting on the sofa, waiting for her. He had a smile on his face and his steps were light. After resting for a while, she felt more comfortable.

“Not bad, let’s pack up and set off.” He put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and walked over with a smile.

The two of them smiled at each other, the atmosphere was very beautiful. Suddenly, a bell rang, breaking all this. Looking at the name on the screen, Gu Luocheng’s brows knitted together.

“Big brother, did grandpa call you back tonight?” Gu Chen Yang sat in the car and looked in the direction of Gu Luocheng’s apartment, his eyes filled with ridicule and hatred.

He had searched for Shen Xingyue for an entire day, but he couldn’t find her no matter where. This could only mean that she could only hide in one place, Gu Luocheng’s apartment.

“Yes, I was just about to go, why?” His tone was flat and normal, but his furrowed brows reflected his inner thoughts.

He tapped on the steering wheel with his finger and said, “It’s fine, see you in a while.” After hanging up, he leaned against the chair with his hands behind his head, quietly watching the movements in the room.

Ye Zichen frowned as he looked at the dark dot on the screen, while a sinister look flashed across his eyes. After being silent for a moment, he suddenly raised his head, walked to the edge of the window and pulled the nearest curtain.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Luocheng’s sudden action caused Shen Xingyue to panic. She quickly walked forward and looked puzzledly at the window and then at the stern-looking man in front of her.

“Let me make a call.” He lightly patted Shen Xingyue’s shoulder and quickly walked up the stairs. This brat actually dared to play along with him. He really thought that he didn’t know anything.

When he went upstairs, he immediately dialed the number, “Fourth Bro, I’ve been watched.” Standing in front of the window on the second floor, he looked at the familiar black coloured sedan with a gloomy face.

“Where is it? I’ll be right there. ” Meng Feng hurriedly put down the documents in his hands and walked out of the room. Big Bro has always been very vigilant. It’s impossible for something like this to happen.

He hadn’t seen such a thing in a long time. He really hadn’t thought that he was being careless right now, but he didn’t suggest letting Gu Chen Yang know that he and Shen Xingyue were living together. If he knew, he would definitely find trouble with Shen Xingyue, so there was no need for this.

“Professor, what’s going on?” After Shen Xingyue bought it and stood downstairs for a while, she still felt uneasy and followed him upstairs. Only then did she discover that he was standing by the window, observing something.

He turned around, retracting the fierceness in his eyes, “It’s nothing, I was making a fuss over nothing. Go and pack up, let’s go.” Walking forward, she patted her shoulder with a gentle smile, softly comforting her.

Shen Xingyue stared worriedly at Gu Luocheng’s eyes, but she didn’t notice any ripples. She nodded and returned to her room.

After watching Shen Xingyue leave, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He turned around and sat back on the bed, fiddling with his phone, looking outside the window playfully.

After receiving the call, Meng Xi rushed over to Gu Luocheng’s apartment. When he got near, he discovered the black Mercedes parked by the roadside. When he saw the license plate number, he sneered.
