Gu Zhichuan had long been waiting for Lin Gantang’s call. After his phone number had been blocked, he could not get a reply from her when he tried to contact her with an unknown number. He did not expect that when he finally got a call, he would get receive her angry words instead.

He wanted to change the impression Lin Gantang had of him, but he did not expect Shi Muzhen to cause trouble behind his back. How could he not be angry?

Gu Zhichuan’s rage was rising. He dialed Shi Muzhen’s number and blew up at her. “What did you say to Gantang? Shi Muzhen, I’ve said all I’ve had to say. Do you have to be obsessed with this?”

Shi Muzhen, who was initially overjoyed to see Gu Zhichuan taking the initiative to look for her, heard his curses. She gripped her phone tightly. “Did she look for you?”

“If she didn’t look for me, I wouldn’t have known that you went to look for her behind my back.” Gu Zhichuan was disgusted by Shi Muzhen. “You’ll only annoy me more by doing this. You won’t get anything from me. If you make things difficult for Lin Gantang again, don’t blame me for not being polite to you.”

So, it was to avenge Lin Gantang. Shi Muzhen’s eyes turned red. “Do you really care about her that much?”

“Who I care about has nothing to do with you.” Gu Zhichuan was very cold.

“Okay, I won’t look for her.” A trace of viciousness flashed across Shi Muzhen’s reddened eyes. “However, I have a condition. I hope that you can sit down and have a good talk with me.”

“What’s there to talk about between us?”

“What are you worried about?” Shi Muzhen’s words were laced with a thought- provoking smile, her eyes scheming. “We’ll talk at the Gu residence tonight. It’s your home. Are you afraid that I’ll do something?”

Gu Zhichuan agreed to her request in order to make her give up completely and stop bothering him and Lin Gantang.

However, when he returned home, he found that it was quiet and Shi Muzhen was not there yet.

He went back to his room and hung up his coat. “Where are my dad and the others?” he asked the maid who poured him water.

The maid handed him a glass of water. “Sir went out this morning and hasn’t returned yet. Madam went out two hours ago and said she wanted to get a facial. She shouldn’t be home so soon.”

Gu Zhichuan was thirsty, so he sat down and drank the water. He waved his hand to signal her to continue with her work.

The maid left the room, but she didn’t go far. She hid outside the room and listened to the movements inside. After a while, she stuck her head out and looked inside. When she saw that he was leaning against the back of the chair and didn’t move, she immediately ran forward.

That night, Gu Zhichuan had an absurd dream. In the dream, there was him and the person he liked. When they were deeply in love, she wanted to escape but was caught by him.

It was a very happy dream.

However, when he woke up, he realized that it had not been a dream, and the person in front of him was not Lin Gantang, but a naked Shi Muzhen.

Gu Zhichuan’s brain buzzed.

He immediately got up and put on his clothes.

Shi Muzhen was startled awake by his actions. She curled up at the head of the bed and covered her body with the blanket.

Gu Zhichuan, who was dressed properly, had a storm brewing in his eyes. He was furious and gnashed his teeth. “Is this what you said? Come home and have a good talk with me?”

“Gu Zhichuan, you didn’t ask anything or investigate anything. You just scolded me when you opened your eyes and accused me? I came to your house last night and saw the maid climbing into your bed.” Shi Muzhen looked unhappy. “I came in to look for you and happened to see it and chased her away. You grabbed me and called me Tangtang. You were the one who messed around, and now you’re blaming me?”

Gu Zhichuan thought of the glass of water that the maid handed him when he got home. He could not help but recall the time he was drugged on the night of the dinner party last year.

“Shi Muzhen, this isn’t the first time you’ve drugged me. Do you think I’ll believe you!”
