ed at her, half a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "Come down for breakfast" 。"Brother, don't wait for me next time." 。She softly called out to him. 。Xu Hengwen only raised his eyebrows slightl...A week later, Gu Xicheng hadn't gotten back to her. By the time the car drove into Shuizhuang, it was past eight o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw two bodyguards walk out from inside. They still bowed respectfully to Xue when they saw her, then walked out in a disciplined manner.

"Miss Xu, you're back, young master...."

Mr. Gu was in the kitchen instructing someone to prepare supper. As he walked out of the kitchen with the prepared supper, he saw Xu Yixue and was about to tell her that the young master had returned.

"He's back" Before Uncle Gu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

"Yes, young master is in the study. You can go to the study to find him directly."

Gu Bo said.

Xu Yixue nodded, then quickly went upstairs.

The door wasn't closed, leaving a sliver of space. Xu Yixue could see the faint, warm light filtering through the crack. She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then raised her hand to knock.

Knock, knock!

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

A low, thin voice with a hint of coldness drifted over.

Xu Yixue didn't go in immediately, but stood quietly outside the door for a long time. A man saw that no one came in, so he turned his head silently, lowered his deep and profound eyes, and stared at the woman outside the door. His cold eyes immediately turned warm, and he beckoned: "Yiy, come here."

"Why didn't you let me know you were coming back"

Xu Yixue said lightly, and then walked past him, standing in front of him.

For so long, until Xu Yixue thought he wouldn't say anything more, his hands somehow circled her waist in a tight embrace. His shoulder pressed against hers, and he brought his forehead to the crook of her neck, warm breath scattering across her collarbone with a soft hum.

"It's a last-minute decision," he murmured, his high nose brushing against her delicate neck skin. His voice was soft. "Didn't have time to tell you."

A kiss landed on her neck, he kissed softly, probing for more. His murmured lips vibrated against her skin, bringing waves of tingling sensations. Slowly, he pressed his lips to hers, uttering each word between their teeth, “I missed you.”

Let go of her, their eyes met. No words were needed, a smile from her, a simple gesture from him, and both knew what was in each other's hearts.

Xu Yixue was just about to say something when Gu Xicheng's phone rang.

Xu Yixue could only swallow the words she hadn't yet spoken, waiting for Gu Xicheng to finish his call.

Gu Xicheng took a long time to answer the call. When he hung up, his expression was cold, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong" Xu Yixue reached out and waved her hand in front of him, asking.

Gu Xicheng held onto her hands as they danced wildly in front of him, staring at her for a few seconds before speaking: "There's a banquet tomorrow night, come with me."

"What kind of party is it"

"It's not a big deal, just eat and drink whatever in the past." Gu Xicheng said casually, which made Xu Yixue feel a little relieved.

Xu Yixue's drooping eyes suddenly lifted, meeting his calm and serene gaze. She had wanted to say she didn't want to go, but she was the first to soften.

"Good."

Upon hearing her response, the man leaned in closer. Xu Yixue immediately stepped back, she couldn't let him get away with it anymore.

Seeing the woman's defensive posture, Gu Xi Cheng merely raised an eyebrow. "What are you hiding from"

Before Xu Yixue could answer, he said with a knowing smile, "Don't think I'm going to kiss you again."

Xu Yixue's face flushed even redder.

However, this time he was angered.

Holding her, he walked out the door and gave a small smile. "I just wanted to call you down for some late-night snacks."n the kitchen watching the cooks prepare her meal. Xu Yixue sat in the living room, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the pale blue sky outside. She put on her shawl and went for a walk.The...
