Instead, it made him even more agitated

if this time, it was Lin Ruochu standing in as a substitute once againThinking about this, her heart ached unbearably. She was now caught in a web of contradictions and confusion, utterly lost on wha...Hou Shao looked at the chains on his feet, the unlocked lock flashing a smile and a hint of loss at the corner of his lips. 。She finally opened up, which meant she was leaving. She bid farewell to Gu Liechen here. 。

Houshao's mood was complex, with a mix of reluctance, sadness, but also resignation. 。She decided to leave the next day, spending one more night with Gu Liechen. 。Hou Shao pulled out a strand of hair and carefully tied it with a lock, temporarily connecting the locks together. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that it had been opened. 。After doing all of that, she signed the lock pick and put it in the toilet, then flushed it away to destroy the evidence. 。Then she carefully dragged her anklet back to bed, continued sitting on the bed, and covered the chain with a blanket. 。

She also had her dinner in bed. The maid put everything on a movable table and pulled it up to her. 。

The maid didn't notice anything unusual, she normally brought her meals and took them away, and didn't find it strange that Young Master Hou had been sitting on the bed all along. She simply didn't know why he wouldn't get up. 。After washing up, Hou Shao sat back on the bed and read a book, waiting for Gu Liechen to return. 。Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head to look in the direction of the door and saw the man walking over. The first thing she did was put down the book in her hands. 。"I'm back" 。“Hou Shao smiled and asked him" 。Gu Liechen nodded as usual, "Well, I'll go wash up first." 。As usual, I went to the bathroom. 。Hou Shao watched Gu Liechen's leaving figure, his eyes dimming somewhat. 。In the restroom, Gu Liechen was washing his hands absentmindedly. He had already seen it in the afternoon, Hou Shao opened his anklet 。He knew she was getting ready to leave, guessing she'd choose to do so the next day. And just as he expected, when he returned, she was still there. 。In order to ensure Hou Shao's smooth departure, Gu Liechen had already withdrawn a portion of his men beforehand, avoiding making Hou Shao's exit too difficult or leading to his capture. 。He had made arrangements in advance to ensure that after Hou Shao left, he would be within his surveillance range. 。These things still couldn't make Gu Liechen feel comfortable, instead they made him increasingly irritable. 。He knew she must have her own reasons for leaving, but he still hoped she would stay, that she wouldn't leave him. 。He knew it was impossible, yet he couldn't help but hope. This contradictory thought kept him in the bathroom for a long time. 。When he came out, Hou Shao looked at him with some suspicion. "What's wrong" "A bit tired, almost fell asleep in the bathtub." 。Gu Liechen casually prevaricated an excuse, and after going to bed, he hugged Hou Shao in his arms. 。Then go to sleep. 。Seeing the dark circles under Gu Liechen's eyes, Hou Shaoxin believed it to be true and said with concern, "You've been working late hours these past few days, always staying up late and getting insufficient sleep. It's really affecting your health." 。"

"Well, I know 。Gu Liechen agreed, "Sleep." 。Hou Shao closed the lights and lay down with Gu Liechen. This time, she took the initiative to hug Gu Liechen's body and snuggled closely beside him. 。She thought for a moment, then softly said, "Gu Liechen, you must take good care of your body. Not just for yourself, but for me too." 。"Don't worry, I can still satisfy you. " 。In the darkness, Gu Liechen's voice came faintly, causing Hou Shao to clench his fists and punch her chest fiercely. 。

Just as she was about to strike again, a pair of large hands grasped her wrist. 。an you tell me You hate me, but I have no idea why. This won't satisfy your hatred, tell me, how did I offend you before"Lin Shaner fell silent for a moment, then smiled slowly, “What you said makes s...
