"Did you sleep well?"

Gu Yunqian had a faint smile on his face and his voice was very gentle.

The sleepy woman's whole body exudes a sense of discomfort...

The morning light shines through the gauze curtains, dappling into the room, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet space.

Gu Yunqian tiptoed to the bedside, gently played with the woman's slightly messy long hair with his fingertips, and gently tucked them behind her ears.

His movements were full of meticulous care, as if he was treating a rare treasure.

He placed a steaming breakfast on the small table in front of the woman. The aroma instantly spread, arousing her appetite.

Then, an ID card quietly appeared next to the breakfast, lying there quietly, as if telling some unknown story.

The woman's eyes fell on the ID card. She was a little confused at first, and then she looked bewildered. Her eyes moved back and forth between the photo and herself. The face was undoubtedly hers, but the name next to it - "Su Xingya" - seemed like a distant stranger. She frowned, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Gu Yunqian sat by the bed, his eyes deep, as if hiding thousands of words. He sighed softly, picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and handed it to the woman's lips.

She instinctively opened her mouth and savored the sudden warmth.

He fed her carefully, and she ate seriously, as if there was a tacit understanding between the two of them that did not require words. Occasionally, he would take a sip from the spoon in his hand, his movements natural and smooth.

This scene was repeated for several days.

Having breakfast together in bed became a unique and warm moment between them.

The confusion and vigilance on the woman's face gradually dissipated, replaced by growing trust and dependence on Gu Yunqian.

Whenever she saw Gu Yunqian, a sweet smile would unconsciously appear on the corner of her mouth, which was the joy and gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Yunqian looked at her smile, and the burden in his heart seemed to be finally released.

He knew that this was more than just a smile, it meant that the woman was slowly accepting him, accepting this new identity and beginning.

Gu Yunqian's days seemed to be rewoven, and every morning and night were filled with Su Xingya's figure.

The busyness of the company and the situation of the old house seemed so far away at this moment, as if in this small world, only she and he were the most important existences.

They shared the warmth of breakfast, the tranquility of the afternoon sun, and the whispers under the starry sky at night. Every moment made Gu Yunqian feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.

However, reality always breaks this tranquility inadvertently. Lin Junze's phone call was like a flash of lightning that broke through the sky, pulling Gu Yunqian back from the dream world he had woven.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Junze's voice was so serious that Gu Yunqian felt alert. There was no hesitation in his words. It said that time was running out and there was no room for delay!

Gu Yunqian's heart sank, and his five fingers rubbed his palms nervously.

I don't know if this little guy can stay at home alone...

He walked gently to the bedroom door, and through the half-open door, he saw Su Xingya lying quietly on the bed, breathing evenly and steadily, and obviously had fallen into a sweet dream.

There was a faint smile on her face, and she seemed to be still spending a wonderful time with him in her dream.

Gu Yunqian's heart softened involuntarily. He wished this moment could last forever.

However, reality did not allow him to linger on this scene for too long.

He glanced at his watch; time did not allow him to hesitate any longer.

He tiptoed to the living room and whispered a few words to the busy servants, ensuring that Su Xingya would be properly taken care of during his absence.

After explaining everything, Gu Yunqian took a deep look in the direction of the bedroom, as if he wanted to engrave the warmth and tranquility of this moment forever in his heart...

Old house

Lin Junze stood in the courtyard of the Gu family, glancing from time to time at Gu Yunqian who had rushed back exhausted.

He felt a little nervous and originally planned to give Gu Yunqian some hints, but obviously, Gu Mingcheng did not give him this opportunity. He directly asked someone to call Gu Yunqian to his room, leaving Lin Junze here alone to speculate.

The door of the study was closed, and the conversation between the father and son could be vaguely heard, but the specific content was unknown. Lin Junze waited anxiously, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew very well how deep the Gu family was, and every move he made could trigger a chain reaction.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been harassed first...

Finally, the door of the study slowly opened and Gu Yunqian walked out.

His face was gloomy and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Junze was about to step forward to comfort him, but Gu Yunqian patted him on the shoulder meaningfully.

At that moment, Lin Junze seemed to understand something. Gu Yunqian's eyes showed both disappointment and warning.

"I..." Lin Junze started to speak, but found himself speechless.

He understood that Gu Yunqian had regarded him as a "traitor" in a sense.

After all, when Gu Yunqian wanted to arrange a new identity for that woman, only Yang Bin and Lin Junze knew about it, and afterwards they also vaguely realized that Gu Mingcheng's attitude towards the matter was not clear.

At this moment, Lin Junze's face looked uglier than crying.

He understood that his position in Gu Yunqian's heart had undergone subtle changes.

Gu Yunqian might have classified him as one of those "disloyal and unrighteous" people, thinking that he had revealed something to Gu Mingcheng behind his back.

As the night deepened, the Gu family's courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

But beneath this tranquility, there is a turbulent undercurrent...

Gu Yunqian's mood was as if shrouded in dark clouds, heavy and complicated.

He drove quickly, and hurried back to the villa halfway up the mountain, exhausted. He kept reminding himself in his heart to adjust his mood and not bring any negative emotions to Su Xingya.

However, fate always seemed to like playing tricks on him, and he was about to face an unprecedented storm.

The moment he stepped into the villa, the scene before him stunned him instantly.

The floor was in a mess, like a battlefield, with broken furniture scattered all over the floor, and the servants all looked terrified and panicked.

There was a sense of oppression and uneasiness in the air, as if even the air was trembling.

Gu Yunqian's eyes tightened and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

He hurriedly grabbed a trembling servant and tried to piece together the truth of the matter from her.

The servant's voice was tearful as he described the situation in a halting manner.

She said that after Su Xingya woke up and found Gu Yunqian was gone, she became extremely uneasy, and no matter how they tried to comfort her, it was of no avail.

The food she had prepared was ruthlessly knocked over, and all the furniture within her sight was destroyed by Su Xingya.

Gu Yunqian's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. He couldn't imagine what kind of fear and anxiety Su Xingya experienced when I was away.

"Where is Miss?"

"We have temporarily arranged for her to move into the guest bedroom. We originally planned to let Miss Su stay in the guest bedroom until we cleaned up the master bedroom, but we didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, Su Xingya seemed to have endless energy, and the furnishings in the guest bedroom did not escape the fate of being smashed.

This is also the reason why the house was not tidied up until Gu Yunqian came back.
