Gu Xinzhou's fingertips, clutching her phone, turned slightly white.
Gu Xinzhou's fingertips, clutching her phone, turned slightly white.
This was the first time she deeply felt Song Zhen's warmth since their fallout.
She had thought that after Song Zhen had pursued Gu Xinfei for so many years, his sudden change of heart made him unreliable.
But now...
If Song Zhen had still been insistent on pursuing Gu Xinfei, what would that say about his moral integrity?
So, Gu Xinzhou suddenly came to terms with it.
She suddenly felt that Song Zhen was actually quite good, "Hmm."
Gu Xinzhou took the initiative to end the call.
She didn't even stay on the line to hear what Song Zhen would say next.
Her mind was a bit of a mess right now; she was extremely frightened about the encounter with Gu Xinfei earlier!
Fortunately...
Years of drifting abroad had strengthened her inner resolve considerably, enabling her to think on her feet in a crisis.
Gu Xinzhou looked out at the street view from the window, spacing out, lost in thought.
After driving around the city for a while and shaking off a few reporters, the car ensured her safety before taking Gu Xinzhou back to the villa.
As soon as the car stopped,
the door was opened by someone.
A well-defined, attractive hand reached out to her.
Gu Xinzhou looked up and saw Song Zhen bathed in sunlight, his calm eyes gently looking at her.
Gu Xinzhou turned her head.
She shuffled over and opened the door on the other side, crawling out by herself.
Song Zhen withdrew his hand, somewhat crestfallen, as he watched the beloved woman circle around the car's tail end, bypassing him and heading straight for the villa's main door.
Song Zhen didn't follow immediately.
He stayed in the courtyard, asking his subordinate in detail about the situation in the cafe.
Meanwhile, Gu Xinzhou entered the villa to find it eerily quiet.
She went upstairs to look for Gu Yibo, but he wasn't there either.
Only then did Gu Xinzhou remember that there were only two cars in the yard when she returned; one was the car she had come back in, and the other was Song Zhen's sapphire blue Bugatti.
She walked to the second-floor balcony, standing on it and calling out from her elevated position, "Song Zhen!"
Song Zhen was talking to his subordinate.
Hearing her voice, he looked up at her, his gaze tender, "Do you need something, beautiful miss?"
Gu Xinzhou ignored his flattery and asked directly, "Where's my father?"
Song Zhen turned and spoke a few words to his subordinate before entering the house.
Gu Xinzhou turned and descended the stairs, meeting Song Zhen head-on as he came in.
Her top was stained with a drink.
This caused Song Zhen's expression to darken instantly!
Without a word, he grabbed Gu Xinzhou's wrist and looked her up and down, "Are you hurt?"
Song Zhen gazed at her skin, fair as jade, his eyes deepening.
Gu Xinzhou tried to pull her hand back.
After several attempts, all failed.
The man in front of her blinked his innocent, smiling eyes.
This made her feel increasingly frustrated and her cheeks grew hot, "Can you not be so shameless?"
"Uncle Gu has gone to the company."
Song Zhen released her hand, and at the moment she breathed a sigh of relief, he lifted his hand to touch her soft, pink cheek.
Knowing full well she was blushing, he still deliberately leaned in close.
The fiendishly handsome face loomed before her, asking with concern, "Your face is so hot, do you have a fever?"
Gu Xinzhou abruptly turned away, "No!"
Song Zhen, with a hooked smile, stepped in front of her, "If you're not sick, why is it so hot?"
Gu Xinzhou turned again, heading in the direction of the kitchen, "It's too hot outside!"
She had only taken two steps away when a pair of large hands pulled her back, wrapping her tightly in his embrace from behind.
