Her expression was stiff, and she wanted to extricate herself from this ambiguous situation.

But her hand was on Xu Jiashao's hand, which was equivalent to him hugging her from behind. It was difficult for her to move, and she could only use small movements to try to keep her body away from Xu Jiashao.

Seeing that Gu Shutang was secretly moving away, Xu Jiashao seemed to have come to his senses. He let go of Gu Shutang's arm and took a big step back.

"Feel sorry."

Xu Jiashao took the initiative to apologize to Gu Shutang, took the hair dryer from her hand and put it back on the table.

"I'll take you to the bedroom to rest for a while."

"I don't know when I'll have an attack. When I'm sick, I'm very attached to you. I think it would be best if you lived near me. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do when I'm sick."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

Xu Jiashao strode out and took the person to the bedroom opposite.

That is the bedroom reserved for the hostess of the villa.

Xu Jiashao did not tell Gu Shutang the significance of this bedroom.

He just brought her in, introduced her and left.

After he left Gu Shutang's bedroom, he did not return to the bedroom opposite, but went downstairs and found Xu Bo, asking him to buy some items for girls.

Uncle Xu acted very quickly. When Gu Shutang woke up, a servant came to her bedroom door to greet her. After greeting her, he quickly called the person who was waiting not far away.

Uncle Xu brought his men to place all the prepared items in Gu Shutang's bedroom. The bedroom, which had been uninhabited for a long time and seemed somewhat empty, became cozy after Uncle Xu's careful decoration.

The empty cloakroom was suddenly filled with clothes of the season, including some niche private customizations that were hard to name but of obvious quality.

Gu Shutang was amazed at Xu Bo's speed. Just as she was about to speak, she was attacked from behind and hugged tightly, clinging to her like an octopus.

Gu Shutang looked back with difficulty and found that it was Xu Jiashao. She opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Xu?"

Sick again?

Xu Jiashao took a deep breath on Gu Shutang's shoulder, his nose filled with the fragrance of his wife. He felt a little aggrieved: "Tangtang, why do you have to sleep in a separate room from me?"

When he woke up, he found that there was no trace of Gu Shutang around him, and he almost wanted to have someone turn the entire villa upside down to look for him.

As for why Gu Shutang would run outside?

Xu Jiashao was not worried. His villa had the most advanced security system in the world. Permission was required to enter or exit. Breaking in or leaving by force would trigger the security system and compulsory measures would be taken against him.

Gu Shutang had only been back for one day, and Xu Jiashao hadn't had time to record her.

There are hidden surveillance cameras in every place, and the alarm will be triggered if someone breaks in or leaves illegally.

If Xu Jiashao had not met Uncle Xu in the corridor and asked him how to arrange Gu Shutang's room, he would not have been willing to stay in the corridor waiting for her.

"Didn't you, Mr. Xu, say that I should live in this bedroom? Why are you turning the tables on me?"

Gu Shutang acted a little angry, as if he was annoyed by his attitude.

When Xu Jiashao heard Gu Shutang's words, he vaguely remembered this incident and felt a little regretful, but he also thought that Gu Shutang was very cute when he was angry.

"I'm sorry, Tangtang, I was confused because of my sleep."

"It's just Tangtang, it's only been one night, why are you calling me so strangely again?"

"Uh, Shao, I'm hungry. Let's go downstairs and have breakfast!"

Gu Shutang chose to change the subject, took Xu Jiashao's hand and pulled him downstairs. Xu Jiashao felt a small hand suddenly put in his hand, and instantly became obedient and no longer entangled.

But he was being held by Gu Shutang, and his burning eyes were fixed on the back of Gu Shutang's head. He kept laughing like a little fool.

After breakfast, Gu Shutang packed up and prepared to go out. She was about to ask Xu Bo to open the door for her when Xu Jiashao suddenly appeared again and asked bluntly, "Where are you going, Tangtang?"

"Li family, go back and get some things."

By the way, let’s go to the coffee shop she opened.

Gu Shutang did not hide her plan from Xu Jiashao. She just wanted to go to the Li family. If she hid it from him, based on her brief understanding of him, she might get sick and imagine some bizarre developments.

"Tangtang, can you take me with you?"

Although Xu Jiashao spoke in an inquiring tone, he never thought of the possibility of denial. If Gu Shutang didn't allow him to, he also had a way to appear in the Li family.

"Okay, but aren't you busy with work?"

Xu Jiashao smiled comfortably, "I still have some time to spend with Tangtang."

"By the way, Tangtang, you came back in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot to give you permission. Let's record one before we go out."

Xu Jiashao pulled Gu Shutang to operate and directly gave Gu Shutang the highest authority.

Gu Shutang had a complicated expression. She thought the sick man had deliberately trapped her in the villa.

At the Li family's house, the Li couple happened to be at home. They were calling Gu Shutang, wanting her to come home to discuss some things. The next moment, Gu Shutang appeared at the Li family's house with Xu Jiashao.

The Li couple both felt that Deng Wenrui was difficult to deal with, and they refused Deng Wenrui's request out of concern for Gu Shutang.

Now facing an even more terrifying existence, Dad Li's forehead was already covered with sweat.

Mr. Li took Xu Jiashao aside to socialize with him. His attitude was very polite. He did not seem like an elder who was several decades older than Xu Jiashao. Instead, he seemed like Xu Jiashao's subordinate, trembling with fear.

He deliberately pulled Xu Jiashao to talk about this and that, just to buy time for Mother Li. He winked at Mother Li, indicating that she should take Gu Shutang aside and ask for her opinion.

Mother Li and Father Li had a tacit understanding. They knew what the other wanted to do with just one look. She directly pulled Gu Shutang to her room and told her about Deng Wenrui's visit yesterday.

She was asked about her opinions on Xu Jiashao and Li Xingzhou.

Gu Shutang simply said to Mother Li, "Aunt, Mr. Xu and I just live under the same roof. Please reject Aunt Deng's contract for me!"

As for the contract for cooperation with the Li family, it depends on the decision of the Li family, and Gu Shutang does not intend to interfere.

"Shu Tang, auntie respects your opinion."

Even though Mother Li's heart was bleeding at this moment, she still said this with great pain.

The property listed in that contract was much more than what the Li family could give Shu Tang.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Aunt, my engagement with Li Xingzhou should be cancelled!"

"why?"

Mother Li knew that Gu Shutang's underlying meaning was that her future with Xu Jiashao was uncertain, and they hadn't even established a girlfriend status. If she rashly canceled her engagement with Xingzhou, Gu Shutang would have no way out.
