Yang Mo rubbed her eyes and waited until they adjusted to the dim light inside the car before she saw the man sitting beside her.

  She suddenly sat up straight, her voice slightly hoarse from just waking up from a dream, "Gu Qingcheng?"

  Gu Qingcheng leaned against the car window, his long legs stretching out casually. His knee slightly touched Yang Tuo's small leg as she sat sideways, "It was me."

  Yang Fuxiao's first reaction now is to turn around and open the car door, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, the position where the car stopped is too biased, with this side of Yang Fuxiao's seat leaning against the wall. The car door can only be opened halfway, and even if Yang Fuxiao is relatively thin, he cannot squeeze through.

  She turned around and looked at Gu Qingcheng, whose mouth was curved into a faint smile.

  "Does seeing me make you feel like a mouse seeing a cat?"

  Yang Mu Xiao moved back a bit, avoiding physical contact with Gu Qing Cheng. She smiled and said: "I've arrived, I need to get off the car. Otherwise, Jia Yu will be looking for me soon, and it would be troublesome to ask Mr. Gu to make way for me to get off."

  Gu Qingcheng's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he raised an eyebrow with a hint of annoyance: "What if I say no?"

  Yang had known about Gu Qingcheng's temperament before, but in the past she could still try to please her and get forgiveness. However, now that made her want to go beg for mercy with a humble face, she couldn't bring herself to say such words.

  "Hmph, even if you don't let me pass, I have no choice." She curled up the corners of her mouth. "But it's really unexpected that the great CEO Gu would be such a rascal, blocking a woman from getting off the car on a deep night like this. If word gets out, I'm not afraid of losing face, but I'm worried that CEO Gu's face won't be able to withstand it."

  This remark, with guns and sticks, can also be said to have dissected Gu Qingcheng inside and out.

  Gu Qingcheng's smile at the corner of his lips was not quite right, and he slightly narrowed his eyes. "You've only been away from me for a day, and you're already so sharp-tongued? Have you really found a new backer?"

  "Sharp tongue and quick wit were also trained by Mr. Gu, I have experience as a saleswoman," Yang Fuxiao casually flicked her hair with her fingers, wrapping it around her fingertips, "eloquence can indeed be practiced."

  "I remember clearly, you begged me, calling me brother," Gu Qingcheng leaned forward, his warm breath close to Yang Fan's face, "Who said it, saying faster and faster, can't take it anymore..."

  Yang Liu Xiao's eyes sparkled with anger, "You're despicable, Gu Qing Cheng!"

  "You didn't say it like that when we were in bed."

  Gu Qingcheng leaned forward, his eyes locked on hers as his lips were about to land on Yang Fuxiao's. But just in time, Yang Fuxiao turned her head slightly and dodged, causing Gu Qingcheng's lips to brush against the nape of her neck instead.

  Yang Furong frowned, directly stretching out her hand to block Gu Qingcheng's gradually leaning chest, and shouted in a low voice: "Gu Qingcheng, have you gone mad! We are now at the Shen residence, not at the Zi Jing Garden!"

  Gu Qingcheng lightly murmured "uh-huh", "What's it to you?"

  After hearing Gu Qingcheng's words, Yang Fuxiao suddenly calmed down, her hands falling to both sides of her body. "Oh, yes, for Director Gu, it's just adding a stroke of bold and colorful ink to the romantic history of being unsoiled in the midst of flowers, while for me, it's just turning me from a woman who was about to rise to great heights into a promiscuous woman that anyone can have."

  Gu Qingcheng's back stiffened slightly.

  He looked at Yang Fuxiao's closed eyes and the hands that were clenched on either side of his body, his pupils shrinking as he turned to open the car door before slamming it shut with a loud bang.

  After Gu Qingcheng left, Yang Fuxiao seemed to have been drained of energy, leaning against the car seat, panting softly, wiping the sweat on his forehead with one hand, a layer of fine and dense sweat.

  She was still not strong enough in her heart, since she wanted to marry into the Shen family, then from now on seeing Gu Qingcheng would absolutely not be just in the company, she must calm down and hide this heartbeat in her heart, locking it up tightly, absolutely cannot let others see.

  ………………

  Gu Qingcheng got out of the car and casually pulled out a cigarette, lighting it with a practiced motion.

  Got on the car, took out the phone and flipped through the address book, dialed a number: "A Li, come out to drink with me."

  "Same old place?"

  Lu Li has just returned to C City, and after several years, C City has changed greatly. The old place is where Gu Qingcheng and his friends used to go when they were in the army - a street lined with bars. At that time, Xue Miao opened a bar there, and the business was so bad that it relied on these few rich young masters to order good wine and give tips to the waiters.

  "The old place was demolished long ago," Gu Qingcheng said, "Come with me tonight."

  Gu Qingcheng finished speaking and threw his mobile phone on the car seat beside him, then stepped on the accelerator.

  ………………

  Night color.

  Gu Qingcheng arrived, and Ah Lu had already come out to greet him. He waved his hand and said: "Don't book a private room tonight, you stay here and watch, Lü Li will be coming soon, let him take us to the underground bar."

  "Yes."

  Ah Lun waited at the door for a while and saw a dark gray SUV drive by. A tall man jumped out of the driver's seat.

  Lu Li threw the car key to the person in front and asked, "Where is your master?" after seeing A Lu.

  A Lu said: "In the underground bar, I'll take you there."

  She led the way in front, with Lu Li following behind her, his hands tucked into his pockets.

  In the night color, after taking over in Gusi City, it was divided into several places. The underground bar is one of the places in the night color, which is different from the main hall. It's more like a regular bar, with all kinds of people, playing and having fun, mixed with fish and dragon, there is a stage in front, where they are dancing fiercely.

  Inside the bar, A Lu adjusted her position and followed behind Lu Li.

  She first saw Gu Qingcheng at the bar and took a step forward, pointing to Lu Li: "Mr. Lu, over there."

  Gu Qingcheng was drinking a glass of whiskey, strong liquor, and looked up at the stage where the dance battle was taking place.

  There are two women on the table, with hot and seductive figures, wearing sexy dresses, in the middle of the stage is a black steel pipe, dancing around the pipe, seductive and fiery.

  These women were all brought out by first-class dance instructors from Night Color, and they are not only hot in figure but also very good at dancing.

  Lu Li came over and sat down directly beside Gu Qing Cheng, blocking his line of sight.

  "He tapped on the table, 'A glass of whiskey.'"

  She turned around and took a glance at the two dancing girls on the nearby table, then turned to Gu Qingcheng: "When did you start liking this kind of thing?"

  Gu Qingcheng raised his wine cup and drank it down, "Boring, just take a look."

  Lu Li smiled and said: "This expression of yours makes me think you've been dumped, it's quite rare."

  "It's not hard to get," Gu Qingcheng finished a cup of wine and then asked the bartender for another cup, "Switch to brandy."

  Lu Li raised an eyebrow.

  Normally drinking alcohol, especially this strong liquor, will absolutely not be mixed together and drunk, it's too easy to get drunk.

  Gu Qingcheng drank half a cup and turned his head to ask Lu Li: "I'll ask you, if after breaking up, the girl didn't move all her things out, leaving clothes, shoes, and some female products at home, what does it represent?"

  Lu Li furrowed her brow: "Two possibilities, one of which still has lingering feelings, and might return someday."

  Gu Qingcheng sneered: "Impossible."

  "In that case, let's go with the second option," Lu Li said. "Get rid of everything from before when we were together and start fresh with all new things."

  This time, Gu Qingcheng's face darkened slightly.

  After a moment of contemplation, he calmly asked again: "What if we break up and you still use my card?"

  "Hmm... it's possible that this woman is quite selfish, but if we consider the second possibility from earlier," Lu Li smiled, "it's very likely that she simply forgot."

  Gu Qingcheng's face turned even darker, so dark it was almost about to rain.

  Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't Yang Xiao dump you?"

  Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth and said "shut up", directly lifting his foot to kick him.

  The sound in the bar was too loud and deafening. Lu Li suddenly heard Gu Qingcheng say something, and leaned in to ask: "What?"

  Gu Qingcheng turned around and said to Lu Li: "I saw him."

  "What him?"

  "Don't pretend with me," Gu Qingcheng raised his cup to Lu Li, looked through the liquid in the cup at the bright lights and bustling atmosphere in front of him, and said lightly: "You know who I'm talking about."

  Lu Li smiled and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

  "He's back, I've seen his diary, there's a sentence in it that wasn't there before, now it is, the handwriting is new."

  Lu Li suppressed the slightly playful and irreverent smile on his face, turned around, and because of the ear-shattering loudspeaker on one side, leaned in to ask: "Have you told Yang Xiao about this matter?"

  Gu Qingcheng said: "No one knows about this matter, and they don't need to know."

  "Why did you want to tell me?"

  Gu Qingcheng's mouth curved into a faint smile: "If one day he really comes back, it would be good to have someone who understands."

  "But your uncle also knows." Yajima Hiroba.

  "Hmm, he should have realized it by now."

  For them, Yang's appearance was an anomaly, one that didn't fit into their control.

  Gu Qingcheng said: "In a few days, I will go find Dr. Dero again."

  For a moment, silence. Lu Li was silent for a while, "Actually, I think the one with the most right to know is Yang Mo Xiao. After all, I only stumbled upon what happened back then, but she really...".

  Lu Li didn't finish her sentence when she suddenly heard a loud and forceful exclamation of surprise from the stage in front.

  He frowned and looked over, just to see a woman in a tight black leather jacket emerging from behind the stage, wearing a butterfly mask, waving at the audience below, blowing a kiss, and then her snow-white thighs were stuck on the black steel pipe, instantly the audience below seemed to have exploded, and some people had already started bidding.

  Lu Li was slightly surprised, the woman's dance posture wasn't very skilled, looking like a newcomer, but with heavy makeup and good figure, her seductive movements were just right, and this newcomer actually set off the whole scene.

  Gu Qingcheng narrowed his eyes, staring tightly at the woman's face on stage. After a moment, he took out his phone and dialed a number. A woman rushed out from backstage and ran straight towards the bar.

  "Hello, boss."

  Gu Qingcheng put down the wine glass in his hand on the bar, raised an eyebrow and asked displeased: "Who brought the woman on stage?"

  "It was just a few days ago that he came, saying you had recommended him, and Sister Lu also said so."

  "Let her roll down."

  Lu Li turned around: "This woman..."

  "Great, just great."

  Lu Li was slightly surprised and turned around to take another look at the stage. Is this the young mistress of the Sheng family, who is currently temporarily entrusted to Gu Qingcheng's care?

  This Miss Sheng is really one of a kind, even trying out pole dancing. If some media reporters were to find out, they would probably blow up Mr. Sheng's father in Macau directly.

  Lu Li put down her wine glass and turned around, but Gu Qingcheng was already gone.

  Gu Qingcheng walked through the dance floor and directly onto the stage, pulling Sheng Weiwei who was circling around a black steel pipe to walk down from the stage.

  Sheng was startled slightly.

  What bad luck, she finally found some time to come over and have the leader of the steel pipe dance troupe teach her how to dance, just as she was getting the hang of it and could perform on stage, only to run into Gu Qingcheng.

  But at this time, we can't lose our composure either.

  The pot exploded under the stage, and all eyes were on the dazzlingly lit stage at this moment.

  "Who is this man?"

  "What's going on? I was just dancing and how did I end up here?"

  "My god, this isn't MSC's customer..."

  Someone has already recognized Gu Qingcheng, but Sheng Weiwei is wearing a mask and no one recognizes her.

  Her slender, snow-white arm was wrapped around Gu Qingcheng's shoulder, and behind the butterfly-shaped mask on her face, a pair of eyes were seductive. "Gu Qingcheng, what are you doing? This is my debut!" She leaned in closer and asked, "Do you think I'm seductive enough?"

  "Are you trying to get your dad to come over from Macau and kill me with the way you're dressed, dancing striptease?"

  "Can he still recognize me dressed like this? Don't be ridiculous, I'm even wearing a mask. I just want to learn how to dance, Attorney Shen's birthday is coming up and I wanted to give him a...". But before Sheng Weiwei could finish her sentence, she was forcefully pulled down from the stage by Gu Qingcheng. She yelled: "Gu Qingcheng! Are you done yet?! I'm just dancing, do you have to control me?!"

  Gu Qingcheng was about to drag the woman off the stage with a strong and hard expression, while the woman looked at Gu Qingcheng's furious face with some trepidation, and had already sent someone to call Ah Lü Jie.

  "Hey!"

  Gu Qingcheng let go of Sheng Weiwei's arm, furrowed his brow and rubbed it, "I'm dying from the pain! What's wrong with you? You got kicked by someone and now you're taking it out on me?"

  Gu Qingcheng's face suddenly became even darker.

  He looked angry, and Sheng Weiwei looked even angrier. He directly threw the butterfly mask aside, snatched a coat that someone handed to her, put it on, and was about to turn around and leave.

  "Stop right there."

  Sheng Weiwei didn't stand still, but hastily took two steps forward, opened the door and bumped into Lu Li's body. "Who is it? Can't you see?"

  She's now a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

  Someone next to him saw that things weren't right and had already cleared the backstage area, leaving only these three people.

  Just then Ah Lu came over from the entrance, a woman grabbed her and said: "Sister Ah Lu, you shouldn't go in either."

  "Who's inside?"

  "Boss Guo, the dancing girl, and the man who just went in."

  "Ah, I see," said Ah Lu, nodding her head. "I understand, you can go now."

  Lu Li shut the door behind him and Sheng looked at him with a hint of anger, "Why did you close the door!"

  "It's chaotic outside, you can't leave for now."

  The dance was interrupted halfway, Ah Lu had already arranged for someone to re-enter the stage and start again. However, it was clear that the interruption earlier had stirred up many men's excitement, causing them to start making trouble. But Gu Qingcheng had arranged for the security personnel to be quite tough, plus they were all softies, so they were directly dragged out, without even needing to use force, just a few intimidating words and they became like deflated balloons.

  Sheng Weiwei turned around again, pulled over a chair and sat down, her cheeks puffed out.

  Gu Qingcheng stood against the dresser behind him, speechless, staring only at the clothes rack behind him, and Lu Li happened to be reflected in the mirror.

  A Lu walked over and said: "Boss, Miss Sheng's matter is my fault, I acted on my own."

  Gu Qingcheng's eyes were dim and cold, "You also know you're acting on your own accord?"

  A Lu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything.

  Before, Gu Qingcheng was very strict with everyone else, but he had never spoken a harsh word to Hei Dao's daughter, A Lu.

  The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

  Lu Li walked over and asked Ah Lu to prepare two glasses of iced water.

  "Ah Lu was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?""

  Lü Lì smiled and pointed at the two people on this side, one sitting in a chair with flames bursting out, and the other was cold outside but hot inside. "Someone needs to reduce their fire."

  A Lu left, Sheng Weiwei finally raised her head and said to Gu Qingcheng: "No wonder you wanted to get rid of me at dawn, you really don't understand women's hearts at all."

  Gu Qingcheng's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, with three deep creases between them. "Didn't I tell you before? Shen Zhenliang has a girlfriend, why are you still trying to squeeze in?"

  "What's it to you if I have a girlfriend?! I've even slept with Lawyer Shen!"

  As soon as Sheng Weiwei said this, not only was Gu Qingcheng stunned, but Sheng Weiwei herself almost bit her tongue.

  This matter was originally intended to be hushed up and not mentioned by anyone, but now she herself has actually spoken out.

  Gu Qingcheng sneered and directly reached out to grab the phone. Sheng Weiwei saw this and immediately pounced on Gu Qingcheng: "What are you doing?"

  "Call Shen Zhenliang."

  "Goodbye."

  Sheng Weiwei could tell that Gu Qingcheng was not joking, so she directly took away his phone and held onto his arm. "It has nothing to do with Lawyer Shen, I'm doing this voluntarily, I haven't taken any drugs or drunk any alcohol, I'm completely sober."

  Lu Li watched as the conversation between these two people had completely gone off the rails, so she walked over and said, "You don't need to intervene in this kind of thing."

  He made a slight gesture behind his back, and Sheng Weiwei understood immediately. She put Gu Qingcheng's phone on the dressing table far away and said, "Gu Qingcheng, I'll leave first!"

  After He Xianwei walked away, Lu Li continued to speak: "It's possible that it was just a one-night stand between two people who liked each other. Now you're calling Shen Zhenliang like this, it's as if you've been raped. And even if you were raped, Shen Zhenliang is the top lawyer, do you think you can win the lawsuit against him?"

  Gu Qingcheng snorted: "Are you going to sue yourself?"

  He rubbed his brow and sat down in front of the dressing table.

  Lu Li leaned against a high stool, knowing that this page of Sheng Weiwei was already turned over. He continued to ask the topic that had not appeared before Sheng Weiwei: "You've been with Yang Fuqiao for four or five months, is it you or him?"

  "I."

  "It was me."

  "Is that your feeling or his?"

  Gu Qingcheng said: "At first, there was a part of him that felt like me, which I only knew later when I read his diary."

  "What about now?"

  A Lu held two cups of iced red tea, just as she was about to reach the door, she paused for a moment, and her hands shook slightly, causing the tea water to splash onto her hand.

  Gu Qingcheng didn't respond, narrowing his eyes slightly as he gazed at the faint light emanating from the top of the dressing room, the halo spreading out in circles before his eyes.

  ………………

  Yang Xiaodong's move into the Shen family home was almost immediately spread throughout all media outlets.

  Yang Mu Xiao still had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, she couldn't stay at home all day. Her morning sickness wasn't severe in the early stages, even when she was having dinner with Shen Zhou Yu Ming Xiu yesterday, it didn't show up.

  It just so happened that this morning, while having breakfast with Shen Jia-yu at the dining table, I suddenly felt a strong urge to vomit after smelling the oat milk, and rushed into the bathroom.

  Shen Jia-yu furrowed his brow and followed him over, handing Yang Mu-xiao a tissue.

  Yang Fuxiao had her first bout of morning sickness, but couldn't vomit, instead she was forced to shed tears, looking particularly miserable.

  She took the tissue handed over by Shen Jiaxun and said, "It's okay, it's better to spit it out."

  Shen Jia-yu specially called the nutritionist who had just been invited, saying: "From now on, replace milk with something else, don't bring over single-serve pure milk."

  "Yes."

  Milk is a must-drink, if you can't drink it then change the way.

  Yang brushed off the dawn and said, "No need to be so troublesome."

  Although Yang Mianxiao still had a strong feeling of morning sickness, she still ate a lot of things to nourish the fetus in her abdomen.

  Yang Miao had said she would go to work at Ya Wan today, but her morning sickness was too strong, so she called Fang Shu and asked for another day off.

  She sent Shen Jia-yu to the door, and Shen Jia-yu said: "If it's my parents calling you or asking someone to find you, you can just say your body is not feeling well and don't need to go, wait until I get back to handle it."

  "Good."

  Shen Jia-yu suddenly took a step forward, and this sudden closeness made Yang Mu-xiao subconsciously want to take a step back. However, Shen Jia-yu had already taken the lead and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. He whispered in her ear, "At three o'clock on your right, that's my mother's personal caregiver."

  Yang Mu Xiao immediately understood and patted Shen Jia Yu's back, "Sorry, I'll make sure to adapt quickly from now on."

  Shen Jia-yu moved away from her and smiled, lifting his hand to tuck the stray hair behind her ear: "I'll be back as soon as possible today, there's not much going on at the company."

  After Shen Jia-yu left, Yang Mo-xiao closed the door and walked back in, feeling his heart suddenly racing.

  Yu Mingxiu actually sent someone to follow her, was he afraid that she would cheat on Shen Jiayou's feelings? Or is there another purpose?

  She was just thinking, when suddenly a wave of nausea surged up from her stomach.

  If what I vomited earlier was just the sour water in an empty stomach, now it's really all the food from breakfast that's been thrown up.

  The nutritionist made Yang Moxiao another apple pie with a blueberry-flavored fried milk, which was sour and sweet, suppressing the vomiting sensation in Yang Moxiao's stomach.

  Yang Muxiao sincerely felt that Shen Jiayu's decision was correct, otherwise she would now only be able to simply cook some food in the kitchen.

  She was having a meal when she casually mentioned a few words to the nutritionist Wei Ting, who looked very young, and only then did she find out that this nutritionist had actually graduated with a master's degree.

  She was taken aback at once.

  Yang Mu Xiao asked: "Is your class just about learning food nutrition matching?"

  "Yes, but actually I'm more envious of another classmate of mine who is now a taste tester for an American candy company."

  This job... is really enjoyable.

  Yang Mo Xiao was eating while taking out his phone to check the weather for today, but when he pulled down, he saw a news notification on the notification bar.

  She didn't subscribe to any software notification messages, but sometimes still sends some local big news.

  This time the news headline is "Tycoon splurges thousands for nightclub pole dancer".

  Yang Furong's heart tightened and she casually threw her phone aside.

  However, in my heart, it's as if a string has been plucked, and I feel a little restless.

  This title is really explosive enough.

  If it's just a gimmick to attract attention, then the editor's goal has been achieved. Even Yang Fu Xiao picked up his phone and clicked in again.

  This news is able to be published, it will absolutely not be an unfounded rumor.

  It was a large photo, and it was unmistakable that on the stage of night colors, Gu Qingcheng was holding onto a disheveled dancing girl. The girl's snow-white arm was directly wrapped around Gu Qingcheng's shoulder. She wore a half-purple butterfly mask on her face, a tight-fitting dress, and her fingernails were painted bright red. Her long hair fell to her waist, intentionally leaning close to Gu Qingcheng, while Gu Qingcheng's face was cast in heavy shadow from the stage lights.

  Yang Fuxiao only looked at this picture and lost interest in the content below, so he directly closed it and threw his phone aside. Because of a bit too much force, the phone almost slipped off the table, barely stopping within half a centimeter from the edge.

  She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She had no relationship with him anymore, so his private life was none of her business.

  However, my heart still aches secretly.

  ………………

  It was almost noon when Yumingxiu sent someone to call Yang Fuxiao to come and have lunch together in the front, Yang Fuxiao temporarily agreed for the time being, "You go back and reply to Madam, saying I'll be there soon."

  Although Shen Jia-yu said that Yang Mu-xiao could use her physical discomfort as an excuse to get out of it, after all, she was new here and this would only make her seem ungrateful. If she wanted the child in her belly to be born safely in the Shen family environment, then it meant there would still be ten months of interaction ahead.

  Yesterday, she and Meng Xi went shopping together at the mall, bought a few clothes that could be taken out of hand, hung them on the balcony to dissipate some smell, and then directly cut off the price tag.

  A white scarf was pulled out of a pocket in the clothes, and a card fell out from inside.

  Yang Fuxiao suddenly remembered that yesterday when he was in a hurry to swipe his card, he directly put it into his pocket.

  However, she picked up the card on the ground, but her hand couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  This card...

  It belongs to Gu Qingcheng.

  Yang Fuxiao suddenly remembered that several months ago, Gu Qingcheng had given her one of his bank cards and told her to use it as she pleased. At the time, she had even used the card to buy clothes for her grandmother.

  Yesterday, while walking around with Meng Xi, I accidentally swiped this card.

  Yang Furong suddenly felt a bit annoyed, yesterday when she bought clothes and swiped her card, Gu Qingcheng must have received the swipe notification.

  I don't know how Gu Qingcheng felt when she received this notice. Did she think that kind of woman was cheap, using his money to buy things even after they broke up?

  Yang Fuxiao couldn't help but clench the bank card in his hand, putting it in his pocket, and was about to take out his phone on one side, dialing Gu Qingcheng's number, editing a text message: "I still have yours here..."

  I had just edited these few words when the phone suddenly rang.

  It's the recipient of the message itself.

  Yang Fuxiao stared at the name "Gu Qingcheng" on the screen, narrowed his eyes, and answered.

  "Hello."

  "Now come down, I am in the front yard."

  Yang Fuxiao was startled and looked out the window, and indeed, Gu Qingcheng was standing in front of the building, holding a slightly larger storage box.

  She didn't have time to say a second sentence, and Gu Qingcheng had already hung up the phone.

  Yang Fuxiao went downstairs and softly called out "Wei Ting", but no one responded. She came to the dining room and heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, so she knew Wei Ting was in there. She then casually closed the dining room door halfway.

  She walked out the door, opened it, and was met with a refreshing gust of air after the snow had cleared. Not far in front of her, under a tree, stood a man's figure, straight as the tree trunk behind him.

  Yang Fu Xiao closed the door behind him before slowly walking down the steps.

  Because Yang Mianxiao is now pregnant, Shen Jiayou had the entire path from the courtyard to the small garden outside and then to the main building sprinkled with de-icing powder and thoroughly cleaned.

  Gu Qing stood still, calmly watching Yang Fu Xiao walk towards him step by step.

  When Yang Fuxiao walked to a distance of one meter in front of her, Gu Qingcheng suddenly took a step forward, and as a result, Yang Fuxiao directly retreated one step back. "What do you want to do?"

  Gu Qingcheng smiled and said: "I know to keep a distance, you don't have to worry, in broad daylight, in this courtyard, who knows how many people are watching, I don't want to do anything either."

  He held up a storage box with one hand and opened the lid on top, revealing some things inside.

  "I've packed everything of yours from Zijing Garden and it's all in this box."

  Yang Fu Xiao's gaze fell on the storage box, inside which there were quite a few things, all of which Yang Fu Xiao had wanted to move away from, but because she had to hide from Gu Qing Cheng and left in a hurry, only one handbag was not enough to hold everything.

  And now, Gu Qingcheng had actually sent it over to her.

  It's really a matter of each going their separate ways, is it?

  Her heart tightened and she looked up at Gu Qingcheng.

  "Besides clothes, I didn't pack them for you. When are you going to go and clear out the closet?"

  Yang Xiao stared blankly at Gu Qingcheng, then suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that such a small matter would require Mr. Gu to personally come and inform me, I'm really honored. Alright, I'll go collect my clothes, thank you Mr. Gu."

  She finished speaking and took out a bank card from her pocket, directly handing it to Gu Qingcheng: "This is a bank card that President Gu gave me before. I have swiped it twice before, once was for my grandmother's clothes, and the other time was yesterday when I mistakenly swiped the wrong card. I will calculate the amount and transfer it back to your card."

  She stretched out her hand, but Gu Qingcheng didn't take it.

  "Consider it your breakup fee," Gu Qingcheng's face had turned colder than before, his eyes dark and deep, "so that the people who leave my side can at least afford to buy a 2,000-yuan coat."

  Yang brushed off the dawn, took a step forward and handed the card to Gu Qingcheng, stuffing it into his pocket. "It doesn't seem like General Gu is so generous, let's calculate carefully then. For someone who slept with you for five months, isn't this one card as separation fee too stingy? I wasted my emotions and time, these two things are most precious for a woman, and all I get is this one card? General Gu, you really are being generous."

  Gu Qingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his pair of eyes seemed to be a high-powered microscope. At this moment, he put Yang Fuxiao under the microscope as if she were a specimen, dissecting and observing her thoroughly.

  He suddenly let go, the box in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, Yang Fuxiao was startled and took a step back, but was immediately pulled by Gu Qingcheng's wrist and pulled close, turned sideways, leaned against the thick trunk of the pine tree behind him, and the shadow on top of his head completely covered his body.

  "So this is your true face? Was all the obedience and gentleness before just an act?"

  Yang Furrowed his brow, wanting to push open Gu Qingcheng, the corner of his eye swept a circle around him, "Thanks to General Manager Gu's teachings, I remember your golden words at that time."

  Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, and suddenly remembered that when Yang Fuxiao first went to Zijing Garden, she deliberately wore a bathrobe to the door and turned around several times. He forced Yang Fuxiao into a corner, grasping her chin and saying: "Not obedient enough in character, not steady enough in doing things, and not clever enough in means."

  I pulled back this sentence from memory, and that plain face six months ago overlapped with the one in front of me.

  Although his face didn't look any different, his eyes had completely changed.

  Yang Moxiao wanted to shake off Gu Qingcheng's arm, but it seemed as if it was cast in iron and couldn't be moved.
