Chapter 481 - 484: Can’t Control Emotions6_1
"Ah... um, I seem to have already locked it."
With that, Gu Shaocheng no longer felt worried, growing increasingly bold and unabashed...
"Cough, cough...cough, cough...cough, cough..."
Outside the door, Gu Qianqian impatiently kicked at it, knocking harshly, as if she wanted to kick the door down, "What’s going on? I’ve been calling for ages and no one is opening this door. Did you fall asleep? Butler, do you have a spare key?"
"I’ll go get it." The butler nodded his head.
With that, he left, only to return a moment later with a key, which he handed to Gu Qianqian.
Still muttering, Gu Qianqian opened the door with the key.
Chenxing felt like she was about to suffocate, like a helpless lamb to the slaughter. She began to resist in her confusion, eager to leave, but Gu Shaocheng not only didn’t let her go, he became even more reckless in his pursuits. Finally, the moment the door opened, Gu Shaocheng let out a deep breath...
There was a flush on his face, like the rosy hues of evening, which hadn’t yet faded.
His expression remained dazed, unable to recover from the intoxicating moment.
Gu Qianqian saw a silhouette quickly dash into the bathroom; it looked like Chenxing. Gu Qianqian couldn’t help but mumble, "Chenxing, what is going on? Why didn’t you open the door? I thought you didn’t hear me because you were asleep?"
But the only response was the sound of the bathroom door shutting with a bang.
Then, she noticed Gu Shaocheng scavenging around for something. The surprise made her forget about Chenxing’s rudeness. "You... you’re awake?" she gasped.
Gu Shaocheng, suppressing a touch of irritation, lay back down. Looking at the strange woman, he had to think hard before realizing it was his half-sister.
He rarely saw this sister. The last time he saw her was a few years ago, when she told him she was going to study in America. She had asked him to arrange everything for her - food, clothing, living expenses, and safety measures. Then she boarded her flight and disappeared.
Gu Qianqian leisurely walked over to him. "When did you wake up? How are you feeling now? Shall I examine you and change your dressing?"
When he was asleep, she would sometimes call him "brother". Awake, she only referred to him as "you".
"No need," Gu Shaocheng finally spoke, "could you leave the room for a moment?"
"What’s wrong with your face? Why is it so red?" She noticed that not only was his face flushed, but there was also a sheen of sweat on his forehead.
..................................
Five minutes later.
Right in front of Gu Shaocheng, Gu Qianqian berated Chenxing, who had just emerged from the bathroom. "Do you have any sense? Don’t you know his current physical condition? Even if he’s indulging himself, you should be persuading him not to. If he wants to do something, do you just let him without thinking about the consequences? ’A hundred days for a damaged tendon or bone’, he has multiple fractures. If he doesn’t want to take care of his own body, do you just let him do whatever he wants?"
Chenxing looked like a child who had done something wrong, hanging her head in guilt. But she took the blame willingly, not wanting Gu Shaocheng to take the fall. "It... It was my idea."
"What?" Gu Qianqian was so surprised she nearly choked.
"I’m sorry. I will be more cautious next time."
Gu Qianqian was furious. "Have you lost your mind?"
Chenxing, feeling aggrieved, bit her lower lip, her face so red she seemed on the verge of bleeding. "...I couldn’t help it."
Gu Shaocheng narrowed his eyes. "Don’t talk about my girl..."
Before he could finish, Gu Qianqian fiercely interjected, "Shut up! I haven’t started on you yet!"
