The hot water rushed over his body, quickly dispelling the coolness a lot.

Cheng Lu quickly sorted out his messy thoughts while taking a bath.

When I was about to finish washing, suddenly the top of my head went dark, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness she had suppressed so hard just now surged up like a tide.Getting up from the bathtub in a hurry, her hands were extremely wet and slippery wherever she went, making her unable to stand still.

My heart beat faster, pounding loudly in my ears.

Yes, she is afraid of the dark.

In the secret passage before, she forcibly suppressed this fear in order to survive.

Back at the hotel, staying beside this man, she relaxed all over, and returned to the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers again. The fear was like a ghost chasing after her, which could almost disintegrate all her sanity.

Before she could climb out of the bathtub, the bathroom door was opened.

"Are you okay?" Gu Ci's tone was very anxious.

A ray of light came in from outside, cutting through the boundless fear.

Only then did Cheng Lu calm down a lot: "No, nothing."

Her voice was trembling.

Gu Ci stepped forward quickly, she was in a hurry: "Don't come over!"

"You're so afraid of this, why don't you want me to accompany you? Don't worry, the hotel's power went out just now. It's dark in here, and I can't see anything."

The man's big hand touched her skin, and he flinched in embarrassment.

"Hey, have you finished washing?"

"Um..."

She wanted to stand up by herself.

Unfortunately, the bathtub was wet and slippery, and her hands and feet felt weak again.

Gu Ci supported her body, and she almost leaned against his arms before stumbling out of the bathtub.

Realizing that he was not wearing anything at the moment, Cheng Lu was so embarrassed that his whole body was on fire.

A big towel wrapped her completely, and Gu Ci's eyes shone in the darkness.

Just looking at her intently like this, one of his big hands gently patted her on the back like coaxing a child.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Only then did she come to her senses, and she was so ashamed: "Thank you."

"If you say thank you to me again, you don't care about our relationship as husband and wife."

The man's tone cooled down instantly.

Cheng Lu lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose: "Sorry..."

He sighed helplessly, as if there was nothing he could do about this little woman.

"Do you want me to carry you out, or go out by yourself? The clothes are on the bed outside."

She suppressed her hot cheeks: "I, I'll go out by myself, can you stay in the bathroom for a while? I'll call you after I change my clothes."

Gu Ci's throat moved.

The ray of light just happened to shine on his smooth and smooth jaw, and even the Adam's apple could be clearly seen.

Under the light and shadow, this man became particularly sexy.

Cheng Lu blushed even more: "I'm not wearing anything now!"

"What are you hinting at me?"

He gave her a soothing hand behind her back.

"No, I just want to get dressed!"

Gu Ci let out a few muffled laughs regretfully.

Suddenly, he pressed against her forehead: "Fool, you have to remember that we are husband and wife."

"Well, umm!"

The embrace was finally released, and Cheng Lu jumped out like a rabbit.

Fortunately, it is daytime.

The curtains were half drawn, but light was still coming in from outside.

Not caring about getting some wet hair, she hurriedly changed her clothes.

"Ok?"

"I'm ready."

As soon as the voice fell, the lights came on and a call came.

Gu Ci came to her in a calm manner, took her hand and walked to a table of delicacies.

"Eat, eat well and sleep well."

For the past three days, Cheng Lu hardly ate anything.

Even though old man Qi ordered three meals a day to be delivered on time, she still tasted nothing and couldn't swallow them.

Seeing so many delicious things, her stomach made a grunt.

Cheng Lu: ...

So embarrassing!

Why is it in front of Gu Ci!
She really wanted to find a hole in the ground and go into it.

Gu Ci smiled, and helped her by the shoulders to let her sit down: "Eat quickly, and go to sleep when you are full."

Cheng Lu ate two pieces of meat in small bites, and his appetite whetted.

Gu Ci sat next to her, watching her eat with great interest.

She was a little overwhelmed by him: "Is there something on my face? Why... Staring at me like this?"

"You are obviously afraid of the dark, why do you have the guts to take that secret path?"

She didn't expect Gu Ci to ask this.

"There's no reason, I want to live. It's hard... to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, and my life has just begun. The purpose of the Qi family is unknown, and I don't want to and dare not bet on him."

She said, lowering her slender eyelashes, "I... I'm not sure if you will come to rescue me."

The man grabbed her slender waist and let the little woman sit in his arms.

The sudden closeness made her feel overwhelmed.

"You are my wife, how could I not come to save you?"

His eyes flickered with flames, "Don't say such stupid words in the future, I will be angry."

She nodded confusedly.

A question mark popped up in my heart—how did Gu Ci know that he was afraid of the dark?
Gu Ci fed the rest of the meal spoon by spoon.

She was unbearably shy and refused several times, but was refuted forcefully by this man.

What can she do, she can only accept it silently.

Fortunately, the food in this hotel tastes good, and she is full.

Just after eating, the doorbell rang.

Gu Ci took a deep look at her: "Do you want to go to bed now, or do you want to watch a movie?"

When Cheng Lu heard it, he immediately regained his spirits: "Watching a play."

"it is good."

Gu Ci pressed the button on the remote control, and the door opened.

Mr. Qi stood outside the door.

The panic-stricken Mr. Qi did not come alone. Behind him were the confidantes and bodyguards of the Qi family, but behind these people were more black-clothed dark guards—these were all Gu Ci's people.

Cheng Lu was surprised.

She guessed that Gu Ci would not let the Qi family go, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

What's more, he didn't expect that when he captured the thief, he captured the king first, and directly took old Mr. Qi for questioning.

"Qi Min, come in, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Gu Ci invited with a smile.

Half of Qi Min's body was numb. Leaning on crutches, he walked in front of the two of them step by step.

"Sit." Gu Ci glanced at the sofa.

Qi Min hesitated for a few seconds, and sat on a corner of the sofa: "I don't know why Young Master Gu came here for me?"

"I don't go around in circles with you. You abducted my wife because you wanted her to treat your granddaughter, but I can't accept your way. You should know that after my wife was lost, I would turn the whole city of Sichuan upside down. Come here. And you——still hid her, and passed these three days without doing anything."

Gu Ci's voice became colder and colder.

The atmosphere in the entire room was also extremely depressing.

Cheng Lu, who was curled up in his arms, was involuntarily afraid.

It turns out that this man's aura is so powerful!

What surprised her even more was that he had done so much to find her!Quickly turn Chuancheng over... In his heart, is she really special?Isn't it simply paying off the debt?
Qi Min raised his eyes: "The old man can't understand what Young Master Gu said."
