Walking into the living room, Mrs. Wu saw her and was somewhat surprised, "Miss Shen, you're back. The master is upstairs, refusing to put on medicine. Miss Shen, please go and persuade the master."
"What exactly happened?" she asked.
"After you left, the master went upstairs and locked himself in the study, refusing to come out. I tried to apply medicine, but he wouldn't allow it. Miss Shen, please go see the master; perhaps he will listen to your persuasion."
Shen Ruo gave a casual nod and went upstairs to Gu Kai's study.
She knocked on the door, and immediately a cold voice came from inside, "I said, no one is to disturb me!"
"...It's me."
There was a silence inside, and then the door opened. Gu Kai stood at the doorway, looking at her indifferently, and scoffed sarcastically, "Why did you come back? Aren't you quite capable? Thinking you can just leave?"
