Gu Qingqing was shocked by the fact that Leng Sicheng had come to see her again.

 “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” asked Gu Qingiqng in a hushed whisper.

 She had told the maid to inform her if Leng Sicheng dropped in to check on her.

 “I wanted to tell you about it, but your cellphone was off.”

 “I…”

 Gu Qingqing sighed as she remembered that her cellphone had run out of battery.

 Could Leng Sicheng have felt that sleeping with her once wasn’t enough to pay off the 300,000 that he gave to her to help her brother?

 Was he planning to ‘grill’ her again?

 Perhaps Chen Wenjie bitched about her to Leng Sifeng?

 Did he know that she was secretly working now?

 These pressing questions swirled in her mind, driving her nervousness out of control. Almost having a panic attack, she composed herself for a few minutes before finally stepping into the house.

 “Is that right? Where is he right now?”

 Even before the maid could answer her, she could hear the loud blares of the television the moment she entered. As she proceeded in, she spotted Leng Sicheng coming down the stairs. It seemed like he was just done with a shower and had put on a set of white pajamas. His wet hair was plastered to his forehead, and his eyes were looking down. Thus, it concealed every feeling that he harbored in his heart. Sunlight poured in, as the shadow of his eyelashes fell upon his face.

 When the windows in the common area were opened, crimson sunlight would shine down into the hall, perfectly matching the warm lighting of the house. The moment he stepped through the light, the shower of radiance seemed to lose its splendor and glory.

 The first thing that Leng Sicheng did when he came down the stairs was to pick up the remote control and turn off the television. All of a sudden, the entire common area was filled with a deafening silence.

 “You are back,” Leng Sifeng blurted calmly.

 “Yes.”

 Gu Qingqing nodded. She sounded guilty and uncertain, afraid that Leng Sifeng would find out that she was working for a company now.

 “Where did you go?”

 Leng Sifeng sounded really calm. However, Gu Qingqing could feel a surge of anger buried under his stoic voice. It would eventually erupt at the right time.

 “I… Went you with Li Youyou.”

 “It’s Monday. She is supposed to be working in Royal Strike Entertainment. I don’t think our company would allow her to do such a thing.”

 “I went to see her… working. She had an outdoor photoshoot. I was really bored at home, which was why we hung out.”

 “Bored?! Do you know how many people wish for a life like yours?”

 Leng Sicheng was elsewhere attending a business event this afternoon. He was also invited to an opening ceremony slated for tomorrow morning as well. Having just arrived back at City Yan an hour ago, today was indeed a busy day for him.

 “What do you want me to do then? I’m not allowed to work since I will embarrass you if I’m spotted working outside. You also don’t want me to be too humble in front of others as you are the young master of Leng Group!”

 Gu Qingqing was in a grumpy mood today, still confused and upset that Chen Wenjie had wronged her earlier. Leng Sicheng did not respond to her statement, simply staring at her instead.

 The erratic silence terrified Gu Qingqing. She did not mind if he caught her working, considering she intended to resign anyway. The thing she dreaded most was to drag Li Youyou into her problems.

“It’s been three years…” said Leng Sicheng after a long pause.
