’Knock knock knock—’
A knocking sound rang out, not too light and not too heavy, still considered polite.
After knocking several tis and no one coming to open the door, Gu Yuan’s face grew increasingly stern, her cold voice questioning the person inside: "I know you’re in there, is it inconvenient?"
Yao Tao hurriedly ran up with a bunch of keys.
"Boss lady! The keys are here!"
"Coming, coming!"
Among these keys, one was for this room, generally unused. The spare was just in case sothing unexpected happened to a guest inside, allowing imdiate access.
Gu Yuan reached out for the keys, Yao Tao hesitated a mont before handing them over: "Boss lady, do we really have to force our way in?"
Gu Yuan: "Give them to ."
At this mont, Gu Yuan’s face clearly held a hint of malice, and Yao Tao felt like hitting herself, how could she not be suspicious just because soone looked good?
Almost caused a big problem.
Seriously, as if she’d never seen a good-looking person in her life!
It was still raining outside, the drip-drip of rainwater rolling off the eaves was noisy. The two female college students who had gone out also returned, seeing this scene, they just watched silently, still unsure of what happened.
Lu Tinglou also ca upstairs, noticing Gu Yuan’s unusual mood, he quickly walked over to ask: "What’s going on?"
Yao Tao briefly explained the situation, and Lu Tinglou frowned tightly: "Gu Yuan, is there anything missing from your room?"
"Right, boss lady, should you check your room first, to see if anything is missing?"
Outsiders all thought that Gu Yuan was angry because soone had entered her room.
Only Gu Yuan knew that her anger wasn’t because soone had entered, but because the person who entered might be him...
Gu Yuan took the keys from Yao Tao and asked: "Which one is it?"
Yao Tao pointed out: "This is room ten, there’s a small tag on the key, number ten."
Gu Yuan carefully flipped through the keys, finding number ten among dozens, and without hesitation, forced the door open.
And at that mont—
’Click.’
The room door suddenly opened from the inside, and Gu Yuan, still holding the key, abruptly looked up to see a man dressed in black standing before her.
He wore a baseball cap and a mask, exposing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
Those eyes were especially beautiful... Gu Yuan looked at the corner of his eyes, surprisingly lacking that lively tear mole.
But the person in front of her, regardless of height, build, aura, or those eyes, was unmistakably telling Gu Yuan, this person, he was Chi Yu!!!
Upon recognizing him, Gu Yuan’s legs went weak, nearly unable to stand firm.
"Boss lady!!"
"Gu Yuan!"
Lu Tinglou and Yao Tao ca forward on either side, supporting Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan shook her head: "I’m okay."
She was just so excited, truly happy to see Chi Yu again.
"Chi..."
"Is there sothing you want?" Chi Yu’s voice ca, filled with indifference and aloofness, not reaching out to steady her despite her stumble.
"Gu Yuan, do you know him?" Lu Tinglou asked knowingly.
Because when Gu Yuan saw this man, her emotions were powerfully intense, not the reaction one should have upon seeing a stranger, moreover, if Gu Yuan did know him, their relationship must be unusual.
Gu Yuan was about to say she knew him.
The man inside spoke first: "Sorry, I don’t know her."
Gu Yuan: "..."
That unexpected declaration extinguished the anticipation in Gu Yuan’s heart, making it tremble fiercely. The many words she wanted to say stuck in her throat like rough grit, painfully grinding her throat.
Yao Tao imdiately stepped forward to speak: "The thing is, I’m quite grateful you closed the door for the boss lady earlier, but the situation doesn’t seem to be that. Did you enter the boss lady’s room?"
After pausing, Yao Tao added: "Though direct questioning isn’t ideal, this is the current issue. Items in the boss lady’s room were moved, and during that ti, it was just you and at the inn, I was busy downstairs, only you went up."
Mainly because Yao Tao didn’t know if the boss lady had anything missing.
She could only say, the room’s items were moved.
Not sure if this was right, but roughly that’s it.
Chi Yu’s words matched his deanor, indifferent: "Are you suspecting I stole sothing?"
Yao Tao hurriedly waved her hand: "Eh, no, no..."
"Yes." Gu Yuan’s voice was firm: "I have reason to suspect you stole sothing, so I want to talk to you privately."
Yao Tao was dumbfounded, why did this feel like the boss lady’s trickery?
After confirming the loss of so items, suspect theft, shouldn’t there be a search, if it’s a misunderstanding then clear it, if sothing was actually stolen then call the police.
Yet the boss lady said she wanted to talk to him privately.
Isn’t this just being attracted by his looks?
Oh... so this is the kind of boss lady she is, Yao Tao kept her expression neutral, but was secretly laughing inside.
Lu Tinglou naturally heard the subtle implications in Gu Yuan’s words, he had known her for many years, had a decent understanding of her nature, at least seventy percent.
If it was a stranger, Gu Yuan would never say such a thing.
So this person, Gu Yuan indeed knew.
"Gu Yuan, let stay by your side." Lu Tinglou had a hunch, but didn’t want it confird, suggesting: "He’s a man, and there’s a likelihood he snuck into your room with so unspeakable intent, it’ll be safer if I stay with you."
"No need." Gu Yuan refused directly.
She decisively stepped forward, pushed Chi Yu inside, then turned to close the door.
Before closing the door, she said to Yao Tao: "If a girl nad Sheng Yi and her assistant co by later, Sister Yao, arrange for them to stay in my room, she’s one of my people."
Yao Tao was pleasantly surprised: "Alright, boss lady."
The phrase ’she’s one of my people’ ca from the boss lady’s mouth with an imposing air.
Wait, Sheng Yi... could it be the famous Sheng Yi who once recorded a show here?
Inside the room.
Gu Yuan had been restraining herself since seeing Chi Yu, but Chi Yu refused to acknowledge himself.
Looking like this, wearing a mask to cover his appearance, how is this different from self-deception?!
Or does he think her intelligence is so lacking, that hiding that mole ans she really wouldn’t recognize him?
The decor of each room in the guesthouse was in the style of a hostay inn, his room was no exception.
The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, the room clean, it matched Chi Yu’s typical habits, he didn’t smoke or drink much, leaving no particular sll in the room.
