"Qianqian, Qianqian are you in here?"
"Qianqian, Qianqian...."
Outside the door, the short, abrupt knocking accompanied by her mother's anxious voice.
Cold sweat! It kept dripping.
Just as Gu Qianqian was hesitating about what she should do next, the man who was usually as cold as an iceberg, suddenly furrowed his brows, almost invisibly.
He quickly snatched the towel from her, with a swift movement of his good looking hand, wrapped it around his waist.
Standing up straight, he spoke in a curt manner: "Get out!"
Not quite hearing clearly, Gu Qianqian let out a confused 'ah', her eyes like black crystals looking up at him, blinking and blinking...
"Get out!"
This time, she heard clearly. He wanted her to leave immediately, with her hands covering her head, hastily and smoothly.
Thank God!
Finally, she could go.
Without bothering about her disheveled feelings, Gu Qianqian hastily got up from the ground, not uttering another word, she ran away...
————————————
Watching her daughter emerge from the room, a barely visible panic flashed across Lu Shenglin's haggard face.
That was...
Without uttering another word, she dragged her daughter towards the stairs.
She pulled too urgently, Gu Qianqian: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Just go! Why are you asking so many questions?"
Not wasting any more words, Lu Shenglin pulled her daughter downstairs in one breath.
Upon finding a corner in the kitchen, ensuring there was no one around, Lu Shenglin hurriedly asked her: "You, why did you go to that room? What were you doing inside? Why didn't you come out for so long? Ah?"
"I, I just had to use the bathroom so I went in..."
Lu Shenglin: "Why didn't you use the bathroom in your own room? That room is…"
Hearing this, it was as if a bucket of cold water was dumped over Gu Qianqian's head: "Isn't… isn't that my room?"
"Your room is on the first floor."
Gu Qianqian was dumbfounded, opening her mouth in confusion: "Auntie clearly told me that it was that room so..."
"What?"
Nodding her head, Gu Qianqian was just as confused about the current situation, but she still tried to explain as clearly as possible: "The auntie who brought us back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shenglin didn't speak further, but her hands hanging by her sides unconsciously clenched into fists.
Having never seen her mother's face this disconcerted before, Gu Qianqian panicked, stepping forward to grasp her mother's hand: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Being pulled by her daughter, Lu Shenglin finally came back to reality, then she warned her: "You're not allowed to go upstairs again."
"Why?"
In fact, after that embarrassing situation just now, she had already developed a phobia for that room on the second floor.
Asking this question was just a knee-jerk reaction, but she was genuinely confused.
Why couldn't she go upstairs?
Because of that man?
"Don't ask why, you just can't!"
"Then, the person living in the room I just went to..." Who was it?
"Why do you ask so many questions?"
Interrupting her with a rebuke, Lu Shenglin nervously looked up towards the place Gu Qianqian had just emerged from, just in time to see the door to the second floor room open...
Seeing this, Lu Shenglin's expression drastically changed, she grabbed her daughter and ran wildly towards the outside.
Pulled too suddenly by her mother, Gu Qianqian stumbled, and in her panic, she caught sight of a pair of cold, fierce eyes from upstairs...
