At that very moment, Gu Xue was like a godsend to Xu Weilai.
She had been worrying about whether the night would pass peacefully. Gu Yu seemed angry for some unknown reason, and she was afraid he would torment her again…
If she went to keep Gu Xue company, that would be a legitimate reason to avoid Gu Yu!
Xu Weilai nodded her head readily, "Sure! Of course, I'll keep you company, especially given how frightened you are! You're my most important witness now! I need to take good care of your wellbeing!"
Xu Weilai then turned around. She saw Gu Yu's dark expression and soldiered on. Weakly, she said, "Gu Yu, I… I'll be sleeping in the guest room tonight…"
Without waiting for him to reply, Xu Weilai dashed out of the room and pulled Gu Xue along with her.

Gu Yu laid on the big bed, tossing and turning restlessly. He stared at the empty side of the bed, and the look in his eyes darkened.
