The last time she had dinner with him was three years ago…
At that time, his face was not so cold. He would not be indifferent and silent in front of her like this either.
As if sensing her gaze, Gu Tingyuan suddenly stopped eating. He looked up, and his deep and dark eyes fell directly into her clear eyes.
Mu Wan was flustered and almost dropped the bowl in her hand. It took her a while to steady herself. She quickly avoided eye contact with him.
She wanted to get up, but she saw that there was still half a bowl of rice left in the bowl. If she suddenly left at this time, wouldn't she appear guilty?
She took a deep breath to calm herself down. In an instant, Mu Wan resumed eating without saying anything.
Gu Tingyuan stared at her for a long time before looking away.
After a while, Mu Wan felt that Gu Tingyuan had already stood up and left the dining room. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Mu Wan came to the living room but did not see Gu Tingyuan. She thought that he must have left the Imperial View Manor this time.
After returning to the second floor and taking a shower, Mu Wan did not go to bed immediately. Instead, she ran to the balcony on the third floor to take a look at the structure of the Imperial View Manor.
Under the starry sky, the entire Imperial View Manor was brightly lit and mottled. The huge manor stood proudly in the middle of the mountain, showing its prestige and elegance.
She stood on the balcony on the third floor and looked at a villa not far away. It was even more luxurious than Gu Tingyuan's residence. It should be Old Master Gu's residence, right?
Gu Han was his nephew and had lived in this manor since he was young. Perhaps he also lived there?
Alternatively, did he live in the building beside that villa?
Looking at the brightly lit villa in the distance, Mu Wan thought for a few seconds and decided to ask around while it was dark.
She could only get close to Gu Han after she found out where he lived.
Meanwhile, Gu Tingyuan, who came out of the study room, did not see Mu Wan when he returned to the master bedroom. He walked to the balcony and lit a cigar.
He didn't smoke. He would only light one cigarette when he was annoyed and watch it burn up bit by bit. It was as if this was the only way to calm his frustration.
He had just lit the cigarette when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
Gu Tingyuan looked down and saw a familiar figure shuttling under the moonlight. He could not help but narrow his dark eyes as he watched Mu Wan's petite figure gradually walk towards Old Master Gu's residence.
What was she doing there so late at night?
Based on her memory and judgment from the third floor, Mu Wan walked towards Old Master Gu's residence. Unexpectedly, when she reached the asphalt road in front of the main entrance, she suddenly felt a clear pain in her abdomen.
"I clearly drank ginger water with brown sugar. Why is it still so painful…"
She muttered to herself with a frown as she covered her abdomen with one hand in an attempt to ease the pain.
Right at this moment, a beam of blinding light shot over from afar.
Mu Wan turned around. The strong light blinded her and she could only cover her forehead with her palm as she tried to see the approaching car.
As her face turned pale, the speeding car did not seem to notice her presence. It did not seem to have any intention of slowing down at all and headed straight for where she was standing…
Her eyes widened in horror and her face instantly turned pale.
The abdominal pain and shock made Mu Wan forget to dodge in an instant. Her legs seemed to be stuck to the ground, unable to move.
