Chapter 41: A Lifetime of Difficulty in Encountering Romance Once

  His eyes were like a sharp blade, cutting deep into her face with each glance, yet his hands didn't exert any more force and instead let go of Gu Yu, but his expression didn't ease up because of this, becoming even more overcast.

  He Xiao had always been a man who feared neither heaven nor earth, yet unexpectedly one day he found himself helpless in front of a woman.

  Not for any other reason, just because this insipid woman is neither soft nor hard, and doesn't have the slightest bit of femininity.

  He pushed the woman away, Xiao Qian didn't even look back, and left in big strides. His large leather shoes left a series of whirlpools on the carpet, after which the good woolen blanket restored itself to its original state.

  However, just as Xiao Qian's hand had grasped the copper-colored rotating door handle, a loud crash was heard from behind.

  Astonished in heart...

  Xiao Qian subconsciously turned his head back, but in an instant, he saw that the bookshelf behind Gu Yu had collapsed, and her figure was now indistinguishable from the messy pile of books.

  For a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of depression in his heart, and when he turned back, his footsteps had become disordered.

  Gu Yan fell to the ground, her feet surrounded by a mess of shards. Just moments before, she had swept everything off the table onto the floor - coffee cups, tea cups, and the classic cup he used to drink whiskey from were all scattered around. The classic cup was already in pieces, some of which were now embedded in her leg, mixed with fresh blood that trickled down along her slender ankle.

  Gu Yu fell there, a pale small face facing the lamp light, making it even more prominent.

  Xiao Qian's heart was greatly shocked, and he hastily picked up Gu Yu and quickly walked upstairs.

  "Gu Yan? Gu Yan, wake up."

  Gu Yan remained still, his hands hanging at his sides, looking lifeless.

  At this time, he actually hoped she could open her eyes and stare at him in the same way.

  However, Gu Yu was like a delicate SD doll without consciousness, lying in his arms, feeling nothing.

  In the evening, in the front hall, no one saw the young lady come to eat dinner.

  Xiao Yi sat inside, holding a bowl, unable to eat his rice, and sighed, saying, "Call Xiaoyan's office, no matter how busy she is, she has to pay attention to eating, or else she'll forget again."

  It was supposed to be a day off at home, but now you're nowhere to be found.

  This Gu Yan is fine in every way, it's just that she's too stubborn.

  If she's strong enough, she can handle everything on her own, then how could Xiao Qian feel her presence?

  Women should be gentle and yielding, but she can also throw a tantrum, which is why she quarreled with Xiao Qian like that.

  The servant hurriedly went to make a phone call and came back saying, "Master, the people in the office said that the young mistress didn't go to the company today."

  Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

  This is not Gu Yu's style, she has always been measured and would never disappear without reason.

  Xiao Ming thought for a moment and then advised, "Young man, there are many fun things to do outside, but it's not like our time. We used to go home on time for dinner every day and go to bed as soon as the sky got dark."

  Xiao Yan had always looked down on his eldest son, and scolded him directly, "You think everyone is like you, still loving to have a nightlife outside at such an old age."

  Xiao Ming felt his face turn black with anger, but he couldn't afford to lose his temper in front of his old man.
