Chapter 7: Can you tell me who you are?
The car stopped in front of a house with the flavor of Suzhou gardens, which had both the grandeur of lakes and mountains, as well as the poetic charm of small bridges and flowing water in Jiangnan's water towns. She had never had the chance to enter such a beautiful home before.
Gu Shao Cheng disregarded her withdrawal and forcibly grabbed her hand.
Ye Chenxing's left hand was firmly grasped by him, and she was led by him in a daze, wearing his thick coat, with the guards on both sides respectfully holding umbrellas for them.
The scene was like something out of a movie and yet full of majesty.
"Where is this?" she asked the man beside her with some trepidation.
"This is my territory!"
Zhen Xing didn't understand the meaning of his words, she was like Liu Lao Tai who had just entered Daguanyuan, her eyes were constantly scanning around, curiously looking left and right, but also dared not to make any random comments, because this place was heavily guarded, with guards everywhere, she only dared to say four words:
"So beautiful, so big."
Gu Shaocheng smiled and said: "Let's visit again next time, a typhoon is coming!"
"Sir."
The sentry bowed and saluted respectfully all along the way.
He just nodded slightly and pulled her into a room, prepared clean clothes for her to change into, and pushed her into the bathroom.
"Go take a bath first, change into some clean clothes, and then get some sleep. We'll talk about other things when you've rested enough."
Chen Xing stood anxiously at the bathroom door: "Can you tell me who you are?"
She has a lot of questions.
His beautiful lips curved into a good-looking arc. One hand supported the back of her head, Gu Shaocheng leaned down and kissed her lips, a delicate and detailed kiss that landed on her icy red lips: "I don't like curious babies; I hate it even more when others question my arrangements."
Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat, she had never been kissed by a man before, and it was this kind of fierce kiss. She was so scared that she trembled, he still used that tone, but gently stroked her back: "I like girls who listen and are obedient. If you're not, start learning from this moment on."
It was she who approached him first, and since he took care of this matter, as a reward, she belongs to him!
The layout of Gu's house is divided into two parts: inner and outer.
The outer house was allocated to subordinates and servants for residence, and the building is more modernized. The inner layer is where Gu Shaocheng works and rests alone, similar to the layout style of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. It is said that during the chaos of the late Ming dynasty, the ancestors of the Gu family had a vision and moved an entire building from China to Canada at great expense, but it was indeed magnificent.
Inside the inner house, layer upon layer of guards, without his summons, people with slightly lower status might never have the chance to enter the inner house in their lifetime.
Chen Xing arrived and was directly arranged in the inner layer of Gu Shao's residence, next to his bedroom. It really stirred up a thousand waves as soon as he came.
"I heard that the master personally brought back a girl and had her move directly into the inner courtyard."
Wang Yuanyuan returned and heard the news, her eyebrows drooped, and she didn't say a word.
After a series of announcements, Wang Yuanyuan followed the attendants through the quiet corridors and arrived at the study of Gu Shaocheng in the inner courtyard, where she was gestured to by the butler standing outside the study.
That means she understood: tell her to wait.
It was just this wait, and it wasn't until nightfall that even the housekeeper couldn't fathom Gu Shaochen's thoughts. He obviously had nothing on his mind, and he usually doted on Wang Yuanyuan, but today he was ignoring her, his attention fully focused on the new girl he had brought back, waiting for her to finish her bath, eat something, and then watching her fall asleep, after which he would leisurely read a book in his study.
