Gu Xinzhou waited until 10:30 p.m. and still, her son hadn't come home.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and made a phone call to Qi Lei.
But Qi Lei said that Song Zhen had left with McDull an hour ago.
Gu Xinzhou asked Qi Lei to call Song Zhen to find out what was going on, but Qi Lei was in a difficult position, "Madam, this is a family matter between you and the Boss. It's better if you ask personally, it's really not appropriate for me to inquire."
Gu Xinzhou helplessly paced back and forth in the living room.
By eleven o'clock, her son still hadn't returned.
Finally, she couldn't resist and sent a text message to Song Zhen, "Why hasn't McDull come back yet?"
Song Zhen didn't reply.
Gu Xinzhou went upstairs to find Gu Yibo and asked him to call Song Zhen and inquire about the situation.
But as she pushed open the door to the second-floor living room, she saw Gu Yibo lying on the couch, sound asleep and snoring softly.
Thinking of her father's hard work these past few days, Gu Xinzhou couldn't bear it.
She returned to her room and made a call to Song Zhen herself.
The call was quickly answered, "Hmm?"
Just one word, as if exhaled by someone startled out of a dream, making Gu Xinzhou's scalp tingle.
She gripped her phone tightly and asked, "Where is McDull?"
"He's asleep," Song Zhen's voice was soft and carried the haziness of someone just woken up, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xinzhou hung up directly!
She was furious!
Tossing her phone onto the bed, Gu Xinzhou vented indignantly, "He's doing this on purpose! Such a despicable man! I certainly won't be finding you! I definitely won't be calling you! Humph!"
Gu Xinzhou took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Take a bath, apply a facial mask, sleep!
The next day, early morning.
Gu Xinzhou cheerfully changed into a set of elegant, tight-fitting black sportswear and unusually tied her hair into a high ponytail. Her features were cleansed and clear, lively under the morning light.
She went downstairs early and spread a yoga mat on the grass in the yard.
Sitting on it, wearing headphones, she practiced yoga.
The morning mist was dispersed by the wind, the courtyard lights were still on, and her delicate silhouette was clearly visible.
The bodyguards raced to capture this scene, sending it to Qi Lei's phone, who then forwarded it to Song Zhen to curry favor.
Lan Baozhen and Gu Yibo came out to the yard.
Seeing Gu Xinzhou concentrating on her yoga, they too joined in and copied her movements.
Early in the morning, the three generations didn't exchange a single word yet were in perfect harmony and interacted warmly.
Song Zhen was brushing his teeth.
Qi Lei sent a voice message, "Boss, a video of Madam's morning exercise has been sent to your phone."
Biting his toothbrush, Song Zhen immediately opened the video of Gu Xinzhou practicing yoga.
In the footage, the young lady looked in great spirits, she wouldn't have been out of place as a newly enrolled college student.
She was poised like a noble black swan.
Because the sportswear was tight, it clung to her body contours as if woven onto her, highlighting all her assets.
Song Zhen stared at her flexibility unfurling and her graceful curves, his handsome face turning darker!
Hmph!
Rushing to the yard early in the morning, posing provocatively, and wearing tight clothes, doesn't she know how many leering eyes are watching?
Song Zhen really wanted to jump through the screen, pin down Gu Xinzhou, and forcibly wrap her in a coat!
After finishing his morning routine, he issued a command to Qi Lei directly—
From now on, no onlookers allowed during Madam's morning exercise!
Qi Lei received this command, sweating beads.
Meanwhile, in the bodyguard group chat, everyone who had sent videos and photos to Qi Lei was active, waiting for Song Zhen's reward.
After Qi Lei passed down the Boss's order, the bodyguards fell silent.
From then on, Song Zhen got a new nickname among his subordinates: Old Chen from Shanxi... cough cough!
