Look how marvelous the tie is!
In the anti, Gu Shaocheng didn’t stand idle, he helped tidy her hair which looked like a bird’s nest.
Once the task was accomplished, Chenxing looked up to gloat, but Gu Shaocheng was lowering his head, his gaze falling on her neckline, his expression a mix of amusent but also seriousness. Chenxing’s face flushed. What a cheeky lad.
"Why are you blushing, my Chenxing?"
His smile carried a hint of mischief that gave Chenxing a tingling sensation, reprimanding herself for being so easily flustered.
To cover her embarrassnt, she forced a stern look, pouting and glaring at him, "I’m not blushing, I was just too warm under the blanket!"
She seed like an adorable, stubborn child. Gu Shaocheng had a soft smile on his face.
"I wish I could punish you right here and now, but we’re short on ti." He weighed the thought in his mind before pecking her cheek and saying, "I’ll be away for a few days. Stay good and don’t worry . Got it?"
"You’re leaving? Where are you going? When will you be back?"
"Can’t say for sure. If anything cos up, tell the butler. You can also call ."
He leaned in close, filling her senses with his soothing, masculine scent.
Chenxing bobbed her head in agreent, hopped off the bed, and smiled as she pushed him out the door. He gave her hand a squeeze before leaving the room. The mont he stepped into the hallway, he instantly regained his deanor as the respected leader of the Gu family.
Once she’d closed the door and sang a song of farewell, she quickly returned to her room, switched on the computer and exclaid, "Aha, one million! My 200,000 has found a place to land!"
They wouldn’t deduct her portion, so she could use the remaining money for investnt. She could spend 500,000 on gifts, and the other 500,000 to invest in stocks. The money she made would be hers, while the original capital would remain in Amazon, unknown to all.
The thought excited Chenxing, as she envisaged herself earning back the 200,000. She couldn’t suppress a triumphant grin.

The dining hall, during breakfast ti.
"Butler, do you know how many servants and guards there are inside the house?"
The butler, who was serving her noticed that Chenxing had a particularly good appetite today.
"Miss Chenxing, why do you ask?"
"Gu Shaocheng asked to buy a gift for everyone. I don’t know how many there are. Butler, could you count them for ? Oh, and Butler, is there anything you need? Amazon has a big sale today."
"Thank you, Miss Chenxing, but there’s nothing that I need."
How could there be nothing needed? Chenxing smirked, "The winter is coming. How about I get you a sweater? A pure wool one."
"Miss Chenxing, anything will do."
"Butler, just call Chenxing. Don’t add the ’miss’. It sounds so stiff."
"Ah, it’s a rule. We must follow rules in the Gu family," the Butler replied with a smile.
Chenxing pursed her lips, "M’kay, please count the people for , so I can prepare the gifts."
She decided to spend the entire day shopping on Amazon. There were 57 servants and 198 guards in the Gu family mansion. No one was overlooked. Without favoring anyone, every man received the sa gift, and every woman received the sa gift.
