Chapter 551 - 248. [Summer of Dew]: Wanwan, did you come back to take revenge on me? _3
Nan Wan withdrew her gaze, rubbed Jiu Jiu’s head, "Say ’aunt’."Although Jiu Jiu was busy comforting Pea’s little wounded heart, his good upbringing did not allow him to be perfunctory, so he straightened his attitude and politely called out.
Wanxia softly sighed, "You’ve grown so much taller."
"Jiu Jiu’s grandpa is ill, Mu Huan has been very busy lately, so..." Nan Wan picked up the Pea who was engrossed in acting, "I’m here to ask you to help me take care of her for a few days."
Upon hearing her words, Wanxia was momentarily stunned, then lightly smiled, "Alright, just as well since I’m quite bored living by myself."
...
Shen Weiyi changed into a clean gown, regaining her goddess-like appearance, as elegant as a lotus emerging from water.
Not far off, Ji Wanxia got into Jin Sinan’s car. She retracted her gaze, looking at the man’s cold, rugged profile, her fingers unconsciously entwining.
She spoke in a low voice, "Shaozhi, you..."
"I have something else to do."
She hadn’t said more than three words when Gu Shaozhi interrupted her plainly, his long legs crossed as he stepped down the stairs. Until he started the car and drove away, he didn’t glance at her even once.
Shen Weiyi’s manager asked cautiously, "Sister Weiwei, is Mr. Gu going to find Ji Wanxia?"
Since disappearing completely from An City four years ago, why has he suddenly returned, and in such a high-profile manner?
Shen Weiyi’s expression was insipid, "If you want to know, you can catch up to him and ask yourself."
Her voice didn’t waver in the slightest, but where others couldn’t see, her nails dug deeply into the palms of her hands.
————
Wanxia bought Pea her favorite strawberry ice cream. Pea ate with great enjoyment, temporarily forgetting the sadness of being apart from her parents.
Jin Sinan glanced at the rearview mirror, speaking with a half-smile, "Mr. Gu left the stunningly beautiful Shen the Superstar, intending to do what exactly?"
The car behind them always maintained a distance of just one meter short of a collision with his car.
Wanxia looked down dazedly at the soft, cute Pea eating ice cream, a slight calmness in her expression, it was uncertain what she was thinking about.
She answered absentmindedly, "Perhaps there’s a prettier girl hooking onto him."
Jin Sinan curled his lips, "I heard that Mr. Gu has been living quite ascetically for the past four years, without any women around him who could even spark gossip."
Except, of course, Shen Weiyi.
Wanxia said nothing, merely letting out a low laugh.
An hour later, they arrived outside the Ji Family Villa.
In stark contrast to the myriad lights in the surroundings, except for a dim streetlamp not far away, this villa was pitch-black, as quiet as a castle harboring mysterious treasures.
Jin Sinan opened the car door to the passenger seat, his arm lazily draped over the car window, "If Miss Ji would invite me in for a cup of tea, the effect might be doubled."
With Mr. Gu’s temper, it might just be a fantastic show to watch.
Just like... what happened earlier outside the restroom backstage at the award ceremony.
Pea, who had been on a plane for several hours and didn’t nap at noon, fell asleep less than twenty minutes after finishing her ice cream.
Wanxia carried her out of the car, speaking in a very low voice, "I don’t have the key right now, maybe next time."
Jin Sinan didn’t ask more, taking out a business card. Since Miss Ji was holding a sleeping child and didn’t have a free hand, he could only tuck the card into her shawl.
That was what Mu Jinhuan directed his secretary to buy at the nearby mall when he saw her.
"My number is on it, available anytime."
Jin Sinan glanced at the black Maybach that had stopped diagonally at the back, the curve of his lips becoming increasingly meaningful.
...
Under the faint light of the streetlamp, Wanxia could vaguely make out the appearance of the villa.
Indeed, it was the same as before.
However, even if high-quality jade is shattered and somehow the pieces are glued together, the surface will inevitably have visible cracks.
Not to mention human emotions.
Her faint eyebrows disclosed a sarcastic smile, Gu Shaozhi, who are you putting on this act for?
If one didn’t know better, they might think you deeply love me.
"Looking so intently, is there something you don’t like?"
A warm, low voice sounded from behind.
"It’s so dark, I can’t see anything," Wanxia’s arm felt a bit sore, so she put the newly awakened Pea down to stand on the ground.
Before turning around, her serene eyes already carried a ripple of a smile, "I’m just waiting for Mr. Gu to bring me a key."
A wind blew, and the business card under her shawl fell, landing right beside a pair of black leather shoes.
"If I remember correctly, this house is under my name," Gu Shaozhi looked down, casting a faint glance at the name on the business card, his deep black eyes unreadable, he asked with a half-smile, "Miss Ji, you just said you wanted to keep a distance from me, what does this mean now?"
