After breakfast, Gu Ci did not leave.

He leaned back in his chair, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Qingli leisurely.

"Tell me, what happened yesterday? Did my brother bully you again?"

When Shen Qingli heard Gu Ci mention what happened yesterday, she became depressed and didn't want to talk about it.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Gu Ci said, "In that case, you can move out, or if you want to live here, that's fine."

He couldn't help but start thinking that it would be more lively if she lived here.

Shen Qingli's next words interrupted his fantasy.

"Gu Ci, please take me back."

"Go back? Aren't you bullied badly enough?" Gu Ci said with gritted teeth.

Shen Qingli realized that what she said had caused him to misunderstand.

"You misunderstood. I didn't mean to go back to Jinyuan. I meant to go back to the house I bought."

Hearing that she wanted to leave so much, Gu Ci felt mixed emotions. "Isn't this place good?"

His words made Shen Qingli frown. "Gu Ci, I want to go back."

Staying here last night was the maximum she could endure.

She and Gu Ci are not that familiar with each other, so she can't always trouble others.

Besides, she still remembered what Bai Chuwei did yesterday.

She was so determined to leave that Gu Ci had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, you want to leave, but I don't want to stay."

Gu Ci said that he didn't want to stay, but his eyes were always on her, hoping that she would stay.

But he knew very well that she would not stay.

Shen Qingli felt relieved when she heard that he agreed.

After all, Gu Ci had helped her, so she couldn't make things too embarrassing.

Afterwards, Shen Qingli walked to the guest room and sorted out the things she had taken from Jinyuan yesterday.

While sorting, she discovered that her favorite painting was missing.

This painting took her three months to complete. Her hands are not healed yet and she cannot hold a pen for a long time.

Just as the art exhibition was about to begin, the painting was lost.

After searching for a long time and still not finding it, she sat on the ground dejectedly.

At this time, Gu Ci pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her worried look, he asked, "Why do you look like this?"

Shen Qingli clutched her clothes tightly in her hands, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

She bit her lower lip and said, "My painting is lost."

"That painting is important? Think again about the places you have been to."

When she thought about the important painting being lost, she was so anxious that she almost cried.

"I do not remember."

She felt so uncomfortable in her heart, and that emotion infected Gu Ci.

Gu Ci squatted down in front of her, held her shoulders and calmed her down.

"Don't worry, did it fall to my brother's place? I'll take you back to have a look."

His voice was gentle, instantly easing her anxiety.

"Okay, I'll go back and look for it."

Seeing that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, Gu Ci also felt sad.

After packing up everything, Shen Qingli's mood gradually calmed down.

She looked at Gu Ci, her eyes full of gratitude. "Gu Ci, thank you."

"My cat will stay with you for now. Please take good care of it. Come and get it after I have arranged everything."

Gu Ci was happy to see it happen, "Okay, don't worry."

When Aunt Fang saw that they were about to leave, she hurried out of the kitchen.

"Ms. Shen, are you leaving so soon?" Her words were full of reluctance.

Shen Qingli was also reluctant to leave Aunt Fang, so she walked towards Aunt Fang and hugged her, "Aunt Fang, I have something urgent to do today, I'll come to see you next time."

Although she and Aunt Fang had only been together for such a short time, Aunt Fang had taken good care of her, changing her wet clothes, bandaging her wounds, and cooking delicious meals.

Aunt Fang quickly hugged her back and said, "Ms. Shen, I will wait for you to come over. Next time you come, tell me what you want to eat in advance."

Seeing Shen Qingli hugging Aunt Fang, Gu Ci felt a little complicated.

He obviously knew her longer.

Aunt Fang sensed Gu Ci's resentment and spoke well of him.

"Miss Shen, when you look at me, you should also look at our young master."

"I'm just a worker. The young master asked me to get these things."

Shen Qingli understood Aunt Fang's words very well.

"Yes, I know. I told him thank you."

Gu Ci thought to himself: Who wants you to thank me?

But he couldn't say this, so he had to urge her to leave. "Do you still want to leave?"

Having said that, he didn't care about Shen Qingli and just walked out.

Aunt Fang was happy when she knew that her young master was in a bad mood.

"My young master just can't speak, but he has a good heart."

Shen Qingli has a deep understanding of this.

Gu Ci has a sharp tongue and speaks harshly, but he is actually very nice to her.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Fang, Shen Qingli went to the front yard.

In the yard, Gu Ci was sitting in the car.

His figure was stretched out and he looked as if he was angry.

Shen Qingli put her things in the trunk and then sat in the passenger seat.

"Gu Ci, are you angry?"

When she got closer to him, Gu Ci could still smell her pleasant scent.

"Don't get so close to me."

"Oh." Shen Qingli sat up straight and distanced herself from him.

As a result of doing this, Gu Ci's face became even uglier.

Shen Qingli thought he didn't want to see her off and prepared to open the car door.

"We're leaving, what are you doing?"

Shen Qingli looked puzzled, "You're angry, I thought you didn't want to send me off, so I'll have to take a taxi myself."

"Not angry." Gu Ci said coldly.

He was angry with himself. How could he be reluctant to let her leave?

The air solidified for a moment.

"Sit tight, we're about to set off."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Shen Qingli was unwilling to take the initiative to bring up the topic, and the atmosphere in the car became increasingly cold.

An hour later, the car arrived at Jinyuan.

Shen Qingli knew very well that at this time of day, Gu Peisi should have gone to work.

Now is a good time to go find a painting.

As they entered the hall, servants came to greet them.

"My wife is here."

When the servant saw Gu Ci, he said, "Hello, Mr. Gu."

The servants didn't know what happened yesterday, and Gu Peisi would definitely not tell the servants about those things.

Hearing the servant's address, Gu Ci frowned, but he didn't know what to say.

"I'll go upstairs and take a look. You go do your thing."

Without waiting for the servant to answer, Shen Qingli went to the studio.

I searched the studio but couldn't find it.

At this time, Shen Qingli was in a very bad mood.

Suddenly, in the corner of the studio, her gaze stopped.

An ominous premonition emerged in her heart.

That piece of crumpled paper looks somewhat similar to her painting.

She walked towards the corner with heavy steps.

When she took a closer look, she finally confirmed that it was the painting that she had spent three months and countless efforts to create.

Seeing her hard work being treated like this, Shen Qingli wanted to beat that man up at that moment.

Even though her hand is still injured.

"Who did this?" Shen Qingli picked up the painting and stroked it carefully. Gu Ci could see the reluctance in her eyes clearly.

He helped her up and comforted her, "Someone must have done this on purpose. Let's find that person together."
