Despite this way of making money, she had to treat herself as a commodity...
Commodity?
Gu Lanshan lowered her eyelids and thought, in fact, long ago, she was already being treated as a commodity for trade, wasn't she?
After thinking for a while, Gu Lanshan finally collected those cheques, went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, then put on a nightgown, and lay down on the bed.
She had insomnia last night and was woken up again today. Now she just wanted to sleep, so she quickly fell into a dream.
Gu Lanshan didn't know how long she had slept. In the end, she vaguely wanted to wake up, but she felt she couldn't open her eyes.
In her half-asleep, half-awake state, she seemed to hear footsteps, clear and real, but it also felt like a dream. Gu Lanshan couldn't quite distinguish.
It wasn't until the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open that Gu Lanshan fully recovered her senses. She wasn't dreaming; someone had really come.
She thought it was a servant calling her for dinner, but she didn't feel hungry at all. She couldn't tell if she was tired or not, just didn't want to move. So she lazily said: "I'm not hungry; you don't need to bother with me, have your dinner. When I'm hungry, I'll call you."
The footsteps, however, did not stop because of her words. Instead, they came closer and closer until the bed next to her suddenly sank heavily. Gu Lanshan was stunned for a moment and then realized that something was very wrong. Her whole mind instantly woke up completely, and she groggily opened her eyes.
It was already late at night. The room lights were off, and the villa's outdoor lights provided a faint glow inside.
Gu Lanshan saw Sheng Shi's familiar face.
A strong smell of alcohol wafted over. Gu Lanshan now noticed Sheng Shi's face was a bit red, clearly having drunk a lot.
Before she could come back to her senses, Sheng Shi's arm stretched over, pulling her into his embrace. He lowered his head and buried it in her slender neck, kissing her messily.
His breath was hot, carrying a strong scent of wine, a kind of maddening slight itchiness.
Sheng Shi's burning lips trailed from her neck along her small face's contours up to her ear, kissing her soft earlobe lingeringly for a long while. He clearly felt the woman's body in his arms softening before he stopped kissing.
Didn't the Housekeeper say he called tonight, saying he wouldn't come back?
Why did he return now?
Gu Lanshan then remembered she still owed five thousand yuan to the hospital. His return saved her a lot of trouble.
After weighing the situation, Gu Lanshan secretly took a deep breath and spoke in a voice still misty from just waking: "Do you want a bath?"
Hearing this, Sheng Shi swayed up from the bed, staggeringly walked to the bathroom, undressing as he went. Looking around, clothes were scattered all the way from the bed to the bathroom.
Gu Lanshan waited a long time without Sheng Shi saying anything. Thinking that giving him a bath could make her earn that five thousand yuan easily, she propped herself up from the bed, looking at Sheng Shi, now undressed down to his underwear, and asked: "Do you need me to help you with the bath?"
Her tone sounded very calm.
After saying this, Gu Lanshan secretly despised herself in her heart, clearly expecting intensely, yet pretending to be so calm.
