Chapter 157 Are You Coming Back?

man before her, waiting for his response.Suddenly, the silence was broken by a pleasant melody."Wasn't it room 408 How did it become room 308 You killed me!" Xu Yixue hung up the phone, her mouth twi...His voice came, steady and slightly weary.

"Where are you going back to" A deep, familiar voice.

Xu Yixue nodded, then realized he hadn't even looked up at her. She opened her mouth again, "Hmm."

There was a moment of silence, then the scraping of a chair being pushed across the floor, and finally she slowly walked towards her.

Seeing her, even the exhaustion I felt from searching for her these past few days seemed to lessen for a moment.

"Where did you go" he asked, standing before her.

Xu Yixue looked at his handsome and elegant face, as well as his extremely good eyebrows and eyes: "Captured back by my brother." Her voice was soft, her gaze fixed on a certain place, her eyes were soft like clouds, "Have you been looking for me all along"

"President Gu, are you really in love with me" Xu Yixue asked tentatively.

Gu Xicheng kept staring at the woman who had disappeared for a whole week. His face remained unchanged, but his pupils contracted violently. He spoke softly, "How did you come back"

Being held by Gu Xicheng's wrist, Xu Yixue lowered her eyes to glance at her right hand that was being held neither lightly nor heavily. Her brows furrowed slightly, but she still spoke in a gentle tone: "Mr. Gu, I escaped back."

Gu Xicheng stared at her, his gaze unwavering. He seemed to want to see something in her eyes, but he found himself unable to decipher them.

The woman's beautiful face wore a gentle expression, not much emotion at all, almost like someone she had just met a few times.

Stranger

He remained silent, only a faint smirk playing on his thin lips.

"I've been looking for you..." The man's voice was low and hoarse, as if restraining something. His pitch-black eyes, bottomless and intense, seemed to devour her. His muffled voice was like a suppressed worry.

Worried Does he care about her Does he mind her Xu Yixue quickly recovered her composure and, looking at the dark circles under the man's eyes, before she could say anything, he rushed into her arms. Was it fatigue, needing someone to lean on, or was he happy to see her back

Xu Yixue's brows furrowed slightly, she reached out and pushed, but before she could use any force, a low, husky voice sounded beside her ear, "Let me hold you for a while, just a little while."

Feeling the increasing pressure on her shoulders, Xu Yixue suddenly asked, "Gu Zong, how many days have you gone without resting"

"A week." Gu Xicheng simply buried his whole head in her neck.

Xu Yixue, after a brief silence, spoke up: "I'm sorry."

Gu Xi became silent, and after a while, when Xu Yixue was about to push him away, he suddenly raised his head from her shoulder. His eyes were deep and distant, “I missed you.” That faint voice was different from the coldness and indifference he showed towards others. It carried a hint of tenderness. He grabbed her arm, and his gaze locked onto hers, as if afraid she would disappear again.

For a week, he searched for her for a week. There were no leads, not even a trace. He didn't believe Xu Hengwen was capable of hiding someone so silently and effectively.

Xu Yixue's eyelids drooped slightly as she withdrew her arm from his hand. She nonchalantly said, "I came back this time because I had a fight with my brother." So she wouldn't suddenly disappear again.

Gu Xi Cheng looked at her, his expression grave, not saying a word.

"I'm sorry, at the time..."

Gu Xicheng pinched her cheek, "Did your brother know" those people and raised her glass. Everyone clinked glasses, and she drank the whole cup of wine.Jiang Anchen pulled the video in and, watching the changes on Tang Mengru's face, she reacted quickly....
