Just when soone who couldn’t read the mood walked over with a glass to greet Gu Shaocheng, complinting her throughout.
Her face grew hotter, and she covered her mouth, afraid she’d burp again, which would truly be embarrassing.
The person asked, puzzled, "What’s wrong with Miss Chen Xing?"
Gu Shaocheng smiled slightly but didn’t help cover it up, instead saying, "It’s none of your business, she has bad breath and doesn’t dare to open her mouth."
"..."
Ah! You’re the one with bad breath!
After the party ended and they had left the bridal suite, it was already 12:30 at night by the ti they were driving back to the Gu Family’s ho. Chenxing was still brooding over his words, sitting in the car, refusing to return his passionate kisses.
She threw his words back at him, "I have bad breath!"
Gu Shaocheng laughed and caught her chin, speaking in a low voice, "Perfect, I’ll help you rinse your mouth."
He bent down to kiss her eyes, holding her in his arms as if he was holding the entire world. Chenxing was slightly sleepy and dizzy; she wrapped her arms around his waist, listening to his strong breathing, "Shaocheng, tonight, it seems cousin and Brother Fengchi had a disagreent."
"Mhm."
Chenxing pouted, worried, "My cousin isn’t happy, and she’s been moody lately. Do you know what happened?"
"How would I know about other people’s business?" Gu Shaocheng shifted his position to hold her, letting her head rest on his shoulder. His insistent hand, placed in his burning palm, slowly closed, tightening. "Chenxing, there are so matters in Japan I didn’t manage properly. Stay at ho these days."
"I’ll go to the sanatorium, to be with mom."
He thought for a mont, "That sounds good."
"Shaocheng, can I bring grandma to the sanatorium too?" she asked, looking up with a pleading gaze.
Gu Shaocheng flatly refused, and she sighed in her heart, persistently acting coquettish, speaking pleasingly, praising, and finally, he gave in and agreed.
The day he personally took grandma to the sanatorium was sunny and clear. She and Luo Xi, one on each side, accompanied grandma on a walk in the sanatorium, chatting as they went.
"Chenxing, where’s Gu Shaocheng?"
"Ah? Oh, he went to Japan, said he had so matters to sort out."
"Do you know when he’ll be back?"
Chenxing shook her head, "He didn’t ntion."
"Ask him."
"Oh, I better not; I don’t dare to intrude on his matters. He’ll naturally co back once things are sorted out. Don’t worry, cousin, it’ll be fine. But this ti, being able to rescue you, Shaocheng really put in a lot of effort. You should treat us to a al when the ti cos."
Luo Xi smiled lightly, "Okay."
After three in the afternoon, she drove away. Grandma couldn’t take care of herself, having developed senile dentia. She initially wanted grandma to live with her, but Gu Shaocheng had not allowed it, so she could only arrange for a villa next door, a three-minute walk away, attended by a full-ti caregiver.
anwhile, Gu Shaocheng was indeed a bit busy in Japan. Miyai had died; the Gu Family was accused of murdering Miyai, and this underground punishnt, even if settled with interests, needed at least half a month.
What he pondered over the most was actually a box in his possession; because Miyai had died, regarding the box, which the other party was desperate to obtain, he had yet to figure out its significance. Furthermore, with clues ending, he was montarily clueless.
"Sir, it might just be a regular box."
Gu Shaocheng shook his head and pondered, "It’s not that simple!"
