74 GOING TO B CITY PART 9 (1/2)

Su Fengfei protested, ”If you start showing her around your property, there will be no end to it.” He already lost his Go partner. Now that he got another one, his grandson was trying to snatch her away as well.

”Speaking of which,” Xue Lin looked up to Ge Chen and continued, ”I didn't see your mother's photo anywhere.”

Gu Xiali and Su Fengfei paused and looked at Xue Lin. They avoided talking about their daughter in front of Ge Chen knowing that it might hurt him.

Ge Chen put down his cup on the table and calmly said, ”Let me show you.” He stood up and waited for her. Xue Lin didn't think that he would agree right away. She also put down the cup and stood up. They both walked inside.

Ge Chen took her to his study room. He only allows the Head Butler Ru Shan to enter here and no one else. But from now on, he will allow his wife.

He locked the door after Xue Lin entered. This large room was different from the other rooms in the house. Right across the room was a huge window spanning from the ceiling to the ground. Coffee colored curtains were covering half of the windows. The sunlight was enough to illuminate the whole room. The room was covered in wood and well handcrafted. All the wooden furniture was custom made and the design was complicated. There was a huge study table on the left side. Behind that had a wall-attached bookshelf. Other than books, there were a few photo frames with Ge Chen's childhood photos with her family and friends. He had pictures of his military days along with Mu Liang and Mu Feng. Other than that, there were some trophies he won. On the right side, there was a fireplace and couches around it. In the middle, there was a tea table.

Above the fireplace, there was a portrait of a beautiful woman. She had a delicate body, inky black hair, pink lips, sharp nose, long eyelashes, and a pair of grey eyes. There was a faint smile hanging on her lips.

Xue Lin was looking at her in a daze. Ge Chen walked behind her and asked softly, ”What do you think?”

She finally came back to her senses and answered, ”…Chen, you look just like her.” She had hardly seen such a calm, elegant, gorgeous, and caring woman. The moment she landed her eyes on the photo, she knew that woman was pure and honest. She was used to thinking her friend Mu Lan as more beautiful, Qi Ying as more elegant and Yan Su as more gorgeous but Su Yin's photo made her change her mind.

Ge Chen took her hand and squeezed it gently. ”I have something else to show you. Come with me.” He led her to the left side of the fireplace and moved a decorated flower. Then, a click sound could be heard from behind the wall and the wall moved away.

Xue Lin looked inside and she was awestruck to see the room filled with books, everywhere, every corner. It was bigger than the one she saw in Paris. Ge Chen said, ”You will find some antique manuscript as well as some famous calligraphy of different dynasties here. You will get pretty much everything you need. The psychology section is in the middle. This place is all yours.”

Xue Lin thought that she might fall for this guy. She couldn't believe her ears. ”Are you sure?”

Ge Chen smiled and said, ”I'm pretty sure.”
