Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Wen Shengsheng's hand, which was opening the door, suddenly stopped.

Then, Gong Xiaochen continued, "I didn't say it on the phone at noon because I was worried you would be scared."

"When I arrived at the Su family's house this morning, they didn't dare to do anything to me. I went to the hospital on the way and checked on that bastard Su Rui."

“He was badly injured and didn’t dare to mess with me, so he said a few provocative things, saying he wouldn’t let me off the hook.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng's face turned pale.

To her now, Su Rui is more terrifying than the entire Xi family.

"What should we do then?" She turned to look at Gong Xiaochen, her voice unconsciously becoming tense. "Young Master Gong, this whole thing started because of you. You... you have to take responsibility!"

Gong Xiaochen rolled his eyes at her, "Will you still deliberately ignore my messages in the future?"

"Gong Xiaochen!" Wen Shengsheng walked back and threw her bag heavily onto the sofa.

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Gong Xiaochen withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "I've already thought of a solution, it just depends on whether you agree to it or not."

"You said."

He pointed downwards with his well-defined knuckles, "You'll be living here from now on."

Wen Shengsheng's breath hitched for a moment. "Stay here?"

Gong Xiaochen raised an eyebrow, his expression carrying a hint of wicked charm.

"You can go to work normally during the day without any problems. What you need to be careful about is at night. As a girl living alone, you are very vulnerable to attack, so it's best to stay here."

"I don't need to go into the security measures of No. 7 Courtyard. There is a dedicated emergency system. As long as you call for help, the security guards will arrive within two minutes. If all else fails, I'm here. This matter started because of me, so it's only right that I protect you."

Seeing Wen Shengsheng hesitate, he added coolly, "Of course, if you don't want to, you can go back to the Xi residence to find Xi Yu, which is safer."

Wen Shengsheng: "......"

Just thinking about Xi Maokun's old face is enough for her.

Wen Shengsheng took a deep breath. "It's not that I don't want to stay, but I don't know how long I'll have to stay. What if Su Rui keeps watching me?"

Gong Xiaochen smiled and said, "That's easy to handle. He thinks I like you, so he's targeting you. I'll just work hard, go out and use my charm, keep a few mistresses, seduce a few pretty girls, and make the news."

Wen Shengsheng's eye twitched.

Let's go have some fun!

"This is the only way to go."

"Could you take me back to Jiuru Mansion to pack some things?"

"Okay."

Gong Xiaochen was quite agreeable and immediately got up to drive.

Aside from Xi Yu, this is the second time Wen Shengsheng has brought a man home.

She poured Gong Xiaochen a glass of water, and then quickly packed her things.

Gong Xiaochen's house has everything, so she didn't have much to pack. She mainly needed to bring some clothes, shoes, and computer-related items.

The large single-level apartment in Jiuru Mansion is in the style of Neo-Chinese, with antique and solemn mahogany furniture everywhere, especially the dragon bed where Wen Shengsheng sleeps.

Handmade, both grand and exquisite.

Gong Xiaochen looked around curiously and reached out to touch the dragon bed.

I couldn't help but mutter, "This bed...it's not cheap."

"Yes, these are my dowry items." Wen Shengsheng explained as she packed her things, "My father likes these things, so he bought me a lot of them."

He clicked his tongue and said nothing more.

She packed quickly, and soon had two boxes packed.

Since I'm not planning to stay here anytime soon, I should turn off the power when I leave. Everything else is fine, but there are still some vegetables in the fridge, and it would be a waste to throw them away.

Thinking this, Wen Shengsheng suddenly said to Gong Xiaochen, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

“There’s still plenty of food in the fridge. How about I cook you something to eat?” Seeing that Gong Xiaochen looked a little surprised, she added, “Don’t overthink it. I’ll be living at your place from now on, so it’s only right that I treat you to something nice.”

"You've got quite a high level of awareness," Gong Xiaochen said, both amused and annoyed. "You weren't just glaring at me like that a moment ago."

"So, do you want to eat it or not?" Wen Shengsheng asked helplessly.

"Eat up, and show me some of your specialties."

She turned and went back to the kitchen, recalling the lunch she had delivered to him at the company that day. She steamed some rice and then began to prepare the ingredients.

Thinking that he hadn't eaten anything since noon and was worried that he was too hungry and had no appetite, she specially cooked some sour soup to whet his appetite later.

Although she has lived independently since childhood, she doesn't actually have any special skills, and her cooking is just average.

Because during the five years I lived with Xi Yu, Xi Yu was the one who did all the cooking.

Memories flooded back, and Wen Shengsheng looked at the watch on her wrist, feeling a moment of disorientation.

Many times, she wondered, if Xi Yu had never been found, would he never have changed? Would they have been able to live here forever, until she graduated from university, got married, and had children...?

The meal took 40 minutes, consisting of four dishes and a soup.

The young master was used to a life of luxury and probably wouldn't be interested in such a simple meal, so she arranged the dishes as exquisitely as possible, like a little maid, bringing them to the table one by one, preparing the bowls and chopsticks for him to eat.

Then I went back to the kitchen to clean up.

Gong Xiaochen sat down lazily, looking at the food on the table. He didn't say anything, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The way he ate his meal was completely different from usual; he was quiet, dignified, and elegant...

Yes, elegant.

Wen Shengsheng didn't know why, but this word just popped into her head.

He neither said it was delicious nor bad. By the time Wen Shengsheng came out to clean up, they had almost finished eating.

He even had a change of heart and helped her clean up.

But the young master had never done any manual labor before, and he broke two plates in no time.

Wen Shengsheng felt a headache coming on and pushed him out of the kitchen.

"I can feel Young Master Gong's sincerity. You should rest now, I'll take care of the cleanup."

Gong Xiaochen felt unusually embarrassed and went to the living room to smoke a cigarette.

After finishing all this and cutting off the power to Jiuru Mansion, the two drove back to No. 7 Courtyard.

Li Chuan had already sent her quite a few messages, but she hadn't had time to read them.

It wasn't until she was in her guest room at Courtyard No. 7, after washing up and lying in bed, that she remembered to check her phone.

When she saw those messages, she sat up abruptly and immediately called Li Chuan.

What did you mean by the message you sent me?

Li Chuan's tone carried a hint of embarrassment.

"Ruth has a performance scheduled. The announcement has already been issued, and the organizer has submitted the approval documents to the cultural authorities in Beijing, but it hasn't been approved yet."

"I heard that someone reported to the leaders that the stadium where Ruth was performing had fire safety hazards, so it has been impossible to hold the show."

Anything involving fire safety is generally not a trivial matter.

Wen Shengsheng said bluntly, "Then they should eliminate the fire hazards as soon as possible and meet the usage standards."

"There's nothing wrong with that stadium. It hosted a concert just last month, and all the procedures were in compliance. Ruth suspects that her competitor deliberately sabotaged the process by having someone hold back the approval process and prevent her from performing normally."

"Well, there's nothing I can do to help with that."

"Ruth inquired and found out that a leader in the approval department has some connections with Young Master Gong." Li Chuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Do you think you could ask Young Master Gong for a favor?"
