Chapter 154 - The Desperate Triple-Denial (2) (1/2)

Recently, Gu Yu had been coming home very early. Hence, surprise flashed across Xu Weilai’s eyes for a split second when she saw Gu Yu returning at this hour.

The man walked in and stood tall. The spacious elevator suddenly felt strangely small. When she sensed the murderous aura emanating from him, Xu Weilai instinctively took two steps back to increase the distance between them.

Xu Weilai had no idea who offended him, but she certainly didn’t want to be cannon fodder!

As the elevator slowly ascended, Xu Weilai kept her eyes fixed on the numbers. She watched as the one, turned to a two, and a three… It was clearly a very short amount of time, but it felt infinitely long for her.

With a “ding”, the elevator finally reached their floor, and the doors opened.

Xu Weilai heaved a sigh of relief and quickly scurried out of the enclosed space.

When Mrs. Lin spotted the two of them exiting the door one after the other, she assumed that her prediction had been correct and that they had gone out for a candlelight dinner. With a motherly chuckle, she didn’t interrupt them and headed straight to her bedroom.

Her act of consideration made Xu Weilai panic. She didn’t want to remain alone with Gu Yu! How she wished Mrs. Lin would come out and talk about anything with her! Anything!

However, before she could open her mouth to say something, Mrs. Lin had disappeared past the door and shut it firmly behind her.

Xu Weilai changed into her pair of indoor slippers and dashed off into the master bedroom. Before Gu Yu could enter, she quickly retrieved her pajamas and undergarments before running into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

She took a bath, removed her makeup, washed her face, and applied her facemask. She even used her electronic exfoliator a few times. When she was finally done and emerged from the bathroom, more than an hour had passed.
