Qin Zhi Ai was so frightened that she hastily stopped in her tracks, panicked and forgot what to do for a moment, and could only retreat back into the bedroom.

  She closed the door and anxiously circled around the bedroom looking for a place to hide.

  "Mr. Gu, slow down." The voice of driver Xiao Wang came from outside the closed door.

  "It's nothing." As Gu Yu Sheng's slightly hoarse voice sounded, Qin Zhi Ai, who had always been relatively calm, suddenly became flustered. Before she could find a place to hide, she was like a headless fly, lifting the quilt, grabbing the sofa cushion, and pulling out the small drawer of the dresser... In the end, she realized that these places couldn't hide her at all.

  The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.

  "What's going on? What's going on? I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Qin Zhi'ai muttered anxiously.

  The footsteps stopped at the door, and a faint sound of the doorknob turning came through.

  Qin Zhi Ai's body hair all stood up in an instant, she rolled her eyes around, looked around with a "gulugulu" sound, then regardless of anything, she fell to the ground and crawled under the coffee table.

  The bedroom door was pushed open, and Gu Yusheng and his driver Xiao Wang walked in.

  In less than ten seconds, Qin Zhi'ai, who had her face pressed against the ground, saw four legs rushing towards herself.

  She held her breath, not daring to breathe out even once, her eyes fixed rigidly on the two pairs of shoes, watching as one of them was about to kick her forehead when the four feet finally came to a stop.

  Qin Zhi Ai let out a subtle sigh of relief, and then the two feet closest to her suddenly lifted up their pant legs, revealing delicate and fair ankles.

  Qin Zhi Ai recognized at a glance that these were Gu Yu Sheng's feet, and he was probably sitting down.

  "Mr. Gu, the housekeeper is not here today, can you handle it by yourself?" The quiet bedroom was filled with Xiao Wang's respectful voice.

  The response was complete silence.

  After a while, Xiaowang spoke up again: "Mr. Gu, I saw the news yesterday and knew that Ms. Liang's play was finished today. She might have returned to Beijing by now. Should I give her a call to see if she's back in Beijing and ask her to come over..."

  Xiao Wang hadn't finished speaking, when Gu Yu Sheng, who had been silent since entering the house, suddenly spoke up. His low, magnetic voice carried a hint of violence: "Fine, I won't let her get away from me, I can calm down for a while, but why did you call her back?"

  Xiao Wang was scolded until he lost his voice.

  Qin Zhi'ai, hiding under the coffee table, lightly pressed her lips together. Although she knew that no one would see her desolation at this moment, she still lowered her eyelids to cover up the dullness in her eyes.

  The room fell silent again, and it was unclear whether Mr. Gu had made some gesture to drive Xiao Wang away. Xiao Wang spoke up once more: "Mr. Gu, I'll take my leave then. If you have any matters, feel free to call me anytime."

  Gu Yu Sheng still didn't make a sound, after a few seconds, Qin Zhi Ai saw one of the pairs of shoes, turned around and walked away.

  As the bedroom door was pushed open with a "creak", the whole room fell into an unprecedented silence.
