ather command you anymore""Grandpa, I still have some work to take care of at the company.""Oh my, this is my grandson. I raised him myself. I asked him to do something for me, and he wouldn't even a...After returning to the villa, Gu Liechen pretended not to know anything and didn't mention that he had already discovered Hou Shao's plan to pick the lock. 。He entered the room, Hou Shao was sitting on the bed reading a book. His side profile was delicate and handsome. She turned her head and smiled gracefully at Gu Liechen, "Welcome back" 。She wore a composed and calm expression, not betraying the fact that she had secretly decided to leave Gu Liechen. 。"Well " 。Gu Liechen nodded readily. He said, "I'll go wash up first." 。"

Good " 。Hou Shao nodded slightly, turned back to continue reading her book, not flustered at all because Gu Liechen had said that. 。Gu Liechen turned and walked towards the bathroom. He opened the door, went in, and closed it behind him. He walked to the toilet, leaning against the washbasin in silence for a few seconds. He didn't reach for the pen that Hou Shaozang had hidden away. 。Since he had decided to play the long game, he couldn't afford to lose his composure or let Hou Shao suspect anything. He had already figured out Hou Shao's plan. 。Gu Liechen turned around and began washing up as usual. 。After washing up, he opened the door and walked out. Hou was still in bed reading a book. 。He walked to the bedside and reached out to take the book from Hou Shao's hand. He glanced at it and saw that it was about cooking, so he put it on the nightstand. 。Hou Shao leaned her head and looked at him, not accusing Gu Liechen for taking her book. Instead, she said, "Can you change a few books next time These are too difficult, and I can't do them." 。"Okay, I'll get you a few more different ones tomorrow. " 。Gu Liechen readily agreed. He threw back the covers and sat up in bed. 。Hou Shao smiled and was not demanding Gu Liechen to change the type of books he read. 。Maybe she said, and he wouldn't change it anyway. Changing a few other styles would be better than these, right 。Go to sleep. 。Hou Shao smiled at Gu Liechen, turned around, switched off the bedside lamp on her side, lay down and snuggled closer to Gu Liechen. 。Gu Liechen also turned off the bedside lamp, lay down and hugged Hou Shao. His lips kissed Hou Shao's soft fine hair, "Good night" 。"Good night" 。Hou Shao replied with a single sentence, then closed his eyes and said nothing more. 。

The two people didn't have much conversation, as if many words were left unsaid. 。The next day 。Gu Liechen still got up early and came home late. After leaving the villa, he didn't forget what Hou Shao had said last night. He prepared some books and asked the maid to put them in Hou Shao's room. 。This time the book is different from previous ones. It's a beauty magazine, and it even comes with makeup products. You can follow the makeup tutorials in the book to try them out. 。When Hou Shao saw the book, he couldn't help but smile. It was really different from before, but there was a similarity in meaning. 。She didn't say anything, leaving all the books behind. After dinner, she dismissed the maid. 。She continued into the bathroom, taking out what she had prepared and continuing to study how to open her ankle chain. 。With relatively handy tools, she believed that within three or five days she could definitely open it. 。To prevent Gu Liechen from noticing her abnormality, Hou Shao didn't spend much time in the bathroom each day, nor did she go more frequently than before. 。

It seemed like nothing out of the ordinary, but once she entered the bathroom, she started to examine her anklet. 。Her interactions with Gu Liechen were not as she had imagined. She thought he would start interrogating her after she returned, but during this time, Gu Liechen worked long hours and didn't have time for her at all. Instead, he inadvertently gave her more time to unlock... 。Finally, three days later in the afternoon, she opened the lock 。
