As Gu Yu Sheng got into the car, Xiao Wang turned his head and gave him a strange look.

  Mr. Gu had already arrived at the gate of the old house, but why did he just stand there for a while and then leave?

  Xiao Wang had many doubts and wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask. He just waited until Gu Yu Sheng sat down well, started the car, and drove out of the old mansion gate before speaking up: "Mr. Gu, are we going back to the company?"

  Gu Yu was lost in his own thoughts, unaware of what he was thinking about, and didn't respond to Xiao Wang.

  Xiao Wang didn't ask again and drove directly towards the company's direction.

  After driving for about two thousand meters, Gu Yu Sheng habitually looked for cigarettes and lit one up.

  Xiao Wang kept an eye on the road ahead while secretly observing Gu Yu Sheng.

  He always felt that Mr. Gu at this moment was somewhat different from his usual appearance, but he couldn't say where the difference lay.

  When the car was about to arrive at the company building, Gu Yu Sheng suddenly spoke up: "Let's go back home."

  Mr. Gu has hardly returned home since Miss Liang moved in, except for the two months she was away on a film shoot, so why does he suddenly want to go back home now?

  "Ah?" Little Wang couldn't control his emotions for a moment, exclaiming in surprise. The next second, he realized his mistake and hastily corrected himself: "Yes, Mr. Gu."

  Then he took back his foot which was originally going to press the brake and drove towards home.

  It wasn't until the car stopped in front of Gu Yusheng's villa that he got out and went inside. Xiao Wang didn't realize it until he was backing away from the house, but earlier when Mr. Gu was smoking in the car, what gave him a different feeling than usual was his expression, which seemed to be... perplexed? Yes, that's right, perplexed, like he couldn't figure something out.

  -

  Qin Zhi'ai didn't finish dinner at the old house and drove back to Gu Yusheng's villa at 4:30 in the afternoon.

  Although it's not yet closing time, it's getting close to closing time. The road is a bit congested. What normally takes 40 minutes took Qin Zhi an hour and a half to get home.

  After parking her car in the garage, Qin Zhi Ai took the elevator and went directly up to the second floor.

  At the elevator entrance, she changed into slippers and Qin Zhi Ai carried her bag and walked towards the bedroom.

  As soon as I pushed open the door, before anyone had even taken a step inside, a thick and pungent smell of smoke came rushing out to greet us.

  Qin Zhi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, then she seemed to think of something, lifted her head and looked inside the house.

  Gu Yu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette. The ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts of all sizes.

  The window was open, and the summer evening breeze blew through the gauze curtains, fluttering them constantly, occasionally sweeping across his shoulders.

  Qin Zhi'ai stood at the door, shocked for a while before coming back to her senses.

  Gu Yu Sheng... He, how is he at home?

  Just as she was hesitating, unsure whether to go in or leave, Gu Yusheng seemed to have sensed the movement and slightly tilted his head, catching her figure with the corner of his eye.
