k and rest." After finishing her words, she stood up with much effort.As soon as the man stood up, before he even took a step away, Qin Yan's voice, devoid of any warmth, rang out once again.I said, "...The next morning, when she woke up, Gu Xicheng had already left. 。In the afternoon, Xu Yixue didn't go back home to work as usual. Feeling bored, she told Gu Bo that she was going upstairs to her room and lay in bed reading a book since she couldn't go out. 。Back in the room, she couldn't even focus on her book. Tomorrow was someone's birthday, and she still hadn't bought a gift. She felt restless and decided to go out for a bit. As she went into the dressing room to find an outfit suitable for going out, she accidentally bumped into a file bag. A few photos slipped out from the corner. She picked it up and looked at them. They were all photos of her and Gu Xicheng being secretly taken and then retrieved. No wonder she hadn't been exposed. It turned out that someone had been protecting her all along. 。She flipped to a picture of her and him at the banquet hosted by Ouyang Hai's family. The photo showed her covered in his suit jacket after being splashed with alcohol, walking out into the garden for some fresh air. As she removed the mask from her face, he appeared behind her. The still image captured them perfectly – a beautiful moment frozen in time. 。Holding the photograph for a long time, she put the rest back into the envelope and placed it back. Then, she went out to find Uncle Gu and asked for an easel, brushes, and paper. She also told him not to serve dinner yet, as she would come down later. 。Just lock yourself in the room. 。When Gu Xicheng rushed back, it was already 7 pm. There was no one in the living room who he wanted to see, and there was no one in the dining room either. 。"Where's the person" Gu Bo: "Young Master, Miss Xu took some tools this afternoon and locked herself in her room. She hasn't come out." 。Perhaps afraid that she was sleeping, he tried to make as little noise as possible when opening the door. 。There was no one on the bed, and when I looked at the other position, I saw that the person hadn't left, but was on the balcony drawing something. 。Walking lightly over, I just saw Xu Yixue rubbing her forehead and shaking her head, but her voice was full of happy completion. "Finally finished." 。Later, Gu Xicheng simply walked behind her, but that person still didn't notice. 。This is an oil painting of two people looking at each other motionless, capturing every expression with lifelike detail. 。"Alright, I think they'll like this." 。In the silence, Xu Yixue spoke softly. 。"I really like " 。Too focused, Xu Yixue jumped up in surprise at the sound, her hand still holding paint. Thinking of the painting behind her, she could only jump to the side while saying something, Gu Xicheng was quick and hugged her, the paint landed on him. 。

Xu Yixue was taken aback for a moment, she looked up at Gu Xicheng's expression. It didn't seem like he was angry, but his question was extraordinarily cautious, "Ah Xi, you're back"

As expected, the person didn't get angry at all. He lowered his voice, and his tone became much softer: "Did you get hurt anywhere" He didn't respond to whether or not she was okay, but instead asked if she had been injured.

Xu Yixue's beautiful amber eyes stared at Gu Xicheng and said, "Mr. Gu, scaring people can be fatal!"

"I won't scare you to death!" Gu Xicheng was in a good mood this time and didn't care about the paint on himself

Yes, yes, yes 。Xu Yixue looked at him, the paint on his body, and softly spoke, "You should go take a shower. You're covered in paint." 。As he said this, he pushed himself 。He's not in a hurry to take a bath. 。The paint on her body was made by her, he just considered it a form of art. 。Okay, okay 。Being pushed by the woman, Gu Xichen had no choice but to let her go take a bath. 。"You go in, and I'll get you clothes." 。As she spoke, she walked toward the dressing room to get clothes, but he held her back. "This isn't necessary," 。I'll come myself, you go change your clothes first. 。Their eyes met, seeing his persistence. Looking at the slight traces of paint on herself, Xu Yixue gave up. 。>d he immediately showed his phone to her.When he saw this, his face turned pale."This is so messed up, he actually dared to hang her on the world channel!"After finishing, she quickly flipped through...
