Chapter 491: Chapter 491: I’ll Wait for You Downstairs
Gu Tiantian took a deep breath, closed the photo album, hugged it to her chest, and looked around.
It felt like her grandmother’s presence was everywhere.
She and her grandmother had lived here for ten years, and they had rented this house for ten years.
The landlady was a local from Shengjing, a woman in her fifties with a broad figure, very fair skin, and a kind smile.
Although the rent was increasing, the landlady felt compassion for her and her grandmother and had only raised it once every three years.
And even then, the increase was still far below the rental prices in Shengjing.
Even when she learned her grandmother had passed away, though she fainted from crying several times, she remembered the landlady coming to see her.
She glanced back at the living room and saw Bai Chenyao standing in the center with a detached expression, seemingly waiting for her.
Gu Tiantian hesitated for a moment before slowly coming out.
"A Yao, I think..."
"No need, it only adds to the sorrow!"
Gu Tiantian gritted her teeth, anger rising, and glared fiercely at Bai Chenyao.
Why did he always interrupt her before she could finish speaking?
Even more frustrating, why did he always know what she wanted to say?
Could it be that his other self was truly like a worm in her stomach?
If this house had been hers and her grandmother’s, Gu Tiantian would have definitely argued fearlessly in front of Bai Chenyao to keep it.
But the reality was, this house was rented.
With her grandmother gone, she was now with Bai Chenyao, and everything revolved around him. Even if they continued renting this house, it would just be for show.
"Ten minutes, I’ll wait for you downstairs!"
After saying that, Bai Chenyao didn’t look at Gu Tiantian again and turned around to leave.
As for the packed luggage, Li Mu had already taken it downstairs.
Everything she could take were small items, but as for larger items like the refrigerator, Gu Tiantian had no intention of taking them.
The landlady had been so kind to her and her grandmother. Leaving these things for the landlady, although she didn’t need them, was at least her goodwill.
Gu Tiantian thought, if her grandmother were still here, she would surely support her decision.
She called the landlady but was told she was currently not in Shengjing and had gone abroad for a trip.
Gu Tiantian had no choice but to give up. Standing where Bai Chenyao had just stood, she carefully surveyed the rental home where she had lived for ten years, reminiscing about all the moments spent here with her grandmother.
She suddenly realized that she hadn’t actually spent a lot of time with her grandmother.
When she was studying, she was at school and only came back at night.
Sometimes she returned very late because she had to work and study at the same time.
And after starting work, it was even less time.
Gu Tiantian covered her mouth, her eyes tearing up as she looked once more at the room her grandmother had stayed in, suppressing the sadness and sorrow in her heart, she rushed out the door as if escaping.
When she reached the entrance of the stairwell on the first floor, she stood there for a while to calm her emotions, worrying that Bai Chenyao might notice something was wrong, before walking out.
Seeing the black sedan quietly parked there, Gu Tiantian took a deep breath, hugged the photo album, and walked quickly toward the car.
Li Mu got out and opened the door for her.
Gu Tiantian said thank you and got into the car.
She was a bit surprised to see Bai Chenyao sitting next to her, not reading files as he usually did.
His gaze settled on her the moment she got into the car.
"Come here!"
Gu Tiantian blinked, holding the photo album, and without hesitation, obediently moved over.
Then, quite naturally, she was held in Bai Chenyao’s arms.
Her eyes remained fixed on the photo album in her arms.
