The Gu family's mansion was actually the safest place to be. No one in the Gu family dared to pry into anything that happened here, which was why she knew it was also the reason her cousin wanted Su Heyi to stay here.
After hearing this, Jin Chenzhou didn't react, and Gu Rui didn't speak further.
Many things were not suitable to be discussed further. Gu Rui was not the type to casually reveal internal matters, let alone with someone like Jin Chenzhou, whose identity, despite having been entrusted to Gu Mo for investigation, had not yet made any progress.
What kind of background could someone have if even Gu Mo couldn't find out?
Gu Rui wasn't really afraid of the danger that Jin Chenzhou might bring; she was simply curious.
On the way home, Gu Rui said goodnight and was about to return to her room.
"Wait a moment," Jin Chenzhou suddenly spoke, his deep voice close to Gu Rui.
Her phoenix eyes held a smile: "Are you saying you want me to thank you for driving me around today?"
She was only joking and didn't take it seriously.
Jin Chenzhou, however, took two steps forward, his tall figure casting a shadow over Gu Rui, creating a great sense of oppression.
This aggressively strong feeling made Gu Rui instinctively want to retreat,
a self-preservation reaction when encountering danger.
But Jin Chenzhou stopped at the most appropriate position, allowing Gu Rui to feel his presence without making her want to leave.
"I noticed you kept pressing your temple in the car, are you feeling unwell?" Jin Chenzhou asked in a deep voice.
"..." She was stunned for a few seconds before responding, "No, I'm just a bit tired lately."
"To thank you for letting me stay, let me do something for you."
"What?"
"I've learned some massage techniques that can help you sleep well tonight. How about that? Judging by your complexion, your sleep lately hasn't been very good." Jin Chenzhou spoke earnestly, not seeming to be joking.
After weighing her options, Gu Rui somehow agreed: "Then let's see how good your skills are."
This statement... was somewhat ambiguous.
Fortunately, Jin Chenzhou didn't say anything and just followed her into the bedroom.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Gu Rui glanced at him: "You dare."
Jin Chenzhou waited for her to lie down, then sat by the bedside, his well-defined fingers gently placed on both sides of Gu Rui's forehead.
The gentle movements of his fingertips quickly relaxed Gu Rui, allowing him to continue the massage.
The sensation was so comfortable that Gu Rui rarely felt truly relaxed, not having to think about the overwhelming work, just enjoying the moment.
Jin Chenzhou didn't make a sound; his gaze roamed over Gu Rui's delicate and bright face, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.
If Gu Rui were to open her eyes at that moment, she would find that sharp light in Jin Chenzhou's eyes again.
...
Because Su Youyou was driven away, Su Heyi's little mind moved as if she had forgotten her previous words and bid goodnight to Gu Mo, intending to return to her room.
At this moment, she was a bit clever, knowing to use Gu Mengbao as an excuse: "Xiao Yan, it's time for you to sleep! You have school tomorrow, and kids need to sleep early. How about I take you back to your room and tell you a story?"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Gu Yan's small face; who was the one who needed to hear bedtime stories? Every time it was Su Heyi who listened with great interest, and then the child, with a sense of helplessness, covered his mother with a blanket—sigh, taking care of an adult was really tiring.
But Gu Mengbao was unwilling to disappoint her mother, so she nodded innocently and said, "Okay, let's go!"
With his intelligence, Gu Mengbao could see through Su Heyi's thoughts, not to mention Gu Mo.
But Gu, the child, had already taken Su Heyi's side, so he would definitely support her.
"Mm, let's go, goodnight Mr. Gu!" Su Heyi picked up Gu Yan and left quickly, her energy not showing any signs of being different from others.
Gu Mo watched her back, shaking his head with a smile, his cold expression also driven away by the smile on his face.
Su Heyi took Gu Mengbao back to his room, ruffled his hair, and said, "Sleep well, see you tomorrow!"
Gu Mengbao pouted: "Isn't Mommy supposed to tell bedtime stories?"
Su Heyi bit her fingertip, flustered: "Uh, did I? Did I say that?"
"Of course, Mommy just used that excuse to escape from Dad," Gu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered with a dark light, the whole person was a mini version of Gu Mo, both in cold eyebrows and temperament, they were exactly the same.
"I, I don't remember!" Su Heyi broke the jar and fell to the bottom, simply and blatantly playing tricks, obviously sure that both father and son couldn't do anything about her.
"Well, goodnight to Mommy, wish you... good luck."
Su Heyi tilted her head, she always felt that Gu Yan's words seemed to have a profound meaning, but she couldn't tell.
In a daze, she turned off the light and went to her room, still thinking about the child's words.
She also had a bad premonition...
She opened the door to the guest room, walked in, and as soon as her hand touched the light on the wall, she was grabbed by a pair of strong hands.
The room was pitch black, with only a few slivers of moonlight filtering through the gap in the curtains, casting a crystal shadow on the floor.
And the person holding her wrist, with his strong body tightly pressed against her, wrapped his other arm around her slender waist, tightly holding her in his arms.
The temperature of the skin burned Su Heyi's skin, making her face red for no reason.
