âIs it as you said, that Young Master has been coming back?â Old Master Gu didnât beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.
The housekeeper had been prepared to say yes, but Old Master Gu spoke again. âEven though you were hired by Young Master, I can chase you out of this house at any point in time. You better think carefully before you answer my question.â
The housekeeper became somewhat hesitant and thought for a moment. In the end, he answered, âYes,â but before he could complete the word, Old Master Gu turned around and looked into his eyes. The housekeeper felt his voice shaking and lowered his head. After a while, he spoke softly, âAlthough Mr. Gu doesnât manage to come home every day, occasionallyââ
âI guess you want to be fired right away?â Old Master Gu interrupted him abruptly.
The housekeeper was so intimidated that he stayed quiet. After some time, he dangled his head and honestly said, âMr.Gu came home onceâ¦â
Old Master Gu immediately pulled a long face upon hearing this.
âIt was the first night you went to Hainan.â
The first night in Hainan? Almost a month earlier⦠Old Master Gu had a thundery expression. âIn other words, Young Master hasnât been home at all for more than a month?â
âYesâ¦â The voice of the housekeeper was as soft as if he wasnât speaking.
Old Master Gu had fire brewing in his eyes. He couldnât be bothered with the housekeeper standing outside the car window. âLetâs find him now!â he yelled at Nanny Zhang, who was sitting in the driver seat.

Since seeing Old Master Gu once again had stirred up her emotions, Qin Zhiâai felt extremely worn out. When she returned to her room, she collapsed onto the bed and didnât want to move an inch anymore.
She didnât dare fall asleep, as she hadnât taken a bath yet. Unsure of how long she had given her eyes a rest, she felt her tiredness ease up a little. She went to the bathroom to fill up the bathtub with hot water. Just as the water was filled to the brim, Qin Zhiâai realized she had forgotten about her pajamas, so she went into the room again.
The changing room was just opposite the bathroom. Qin Zhiâai took a set of pajamas without looking and walked out. Just as she was two steps away from the bathroom, the door of the bedroom was suddenly kicked open with a loud and deafening thud.
Qin Zhiâai was stunned by the sound of it, and her body shivered in fear. She turned around and saw the man who had left her at the roadside before. Gu Yusheng was standing at the door, glaring at her, his eyes red.
He didnât utter a word, but he drew his lips into a line. He did nothing except stare at her. His dominating pitch-black eyes flared up, compelling rage circling around him.
Qin Zhiâai could hardly breathe with such an aura emitting from Gu Yusheng. She stood there with her legs rooted to the ground, only her side profile facing him.
The housekeeper, on the ground floor, hadnât slept a wink. Thinking that something might have happened to Qin Zhiâai, he dashed up as soon as he heard the noise. âMissâ¦â
Gu Yusheng appeared before him as he reached the corner. He halted immediately, and asked with extreme caution, âMr. Gu, youâ¦â
His sentence wasnât finished, but Gu Yusheng, without looking at him, told him off in the most unfriendly tone. âGo back to your room, and stay there!â
