Seeing that, Gu Tingchen raised his hand and pulled Mu Lee's hand, and placed her hand on her palm: "Get on the carriage, the sky is getting cold, your hands are already freezing cold."
Mu Lee felt the warmth of Gu Tingchen's pair of large hands being transferred into his own palm, as if his entire body was hugging a furnace.
"Thank you." With that, Mu Lee got into Gu Tingchen's car and went home.
When she slept, Mu Lee thought that she would be able to take Gu Tingchen for a walk in the park tomorrow. Unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, she was woken up by an ear-piercing bell sound.
Gu Tingchen sat up and picked up the phone that was placed on the bedside table.
"What is it? Is there something urgent? " Mu Lee opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Tingchen.
"I'm fine." With that, Gu Tingchen hung up the phone.
"Then why don't you take it?" Mu Lee was curious, there must be something urgent.
"It's not important to me. Sleep." Perhaps because Gu Tingchen's tone was too gentle, it caused Mu Lee to once again fall asleep.
Gu Tingchen sat on the wheelchair and walked out of the room. He went to the study room and dialed the number.
It was four in the morning and they usually wouldn't call at this hour. Something must have happened to disturb him at this hour.
"Second Brother, a group of our goods have been robbed." The other party's tone was clearly flustered. They had been messing with these goods for a long time, but they had not expected that someone would actually dare to intercept them.
"Have you checked?" Gu Tingchen frowned, he actually dared to touch the emperor's head, those people did not want to live anymore.
Hearing Gu Tingchen's cold tone, the other party couldn't help but shiver."We've already checked, it's a pirate."
"Chase after him." Gu Tingchen's tone was cold and his face was filled with ruthlessness. If someone was in front of him, they would definitely be scared by this man.
"Second Brother, are you trying to ..." The other party was uncertain and did not dare to give the order directly.
"Kill!" It was just one word, and that cold and pressing tone made the entire study room feel as if it had fallen into an icehouse. The person who made the call also clearly felt Gu Tingchen's anger.
"Come and pick me up later." Gu Tingchen's tone was not friendly.
Hearing Gu Tingchen's words, the other party was a little hesitant."Second Brother, you'd better not participate in this mission.
"When did you have to decide for me?" Gu Tingchen blocked the man's mouth.
If a man can't even complete his own career, how can he protect his own woman?
"Then we'll pick you up immediately." After he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Gu Tingchen calmed his mood and returned to his room. Seeing that Mu Lee was sound asleep on the bed, Gu Tingchen lightly kissed his on the cheek: "Wait for me to come back."
Mu Lee felt this gentleness in her dreams, so she only responded with a bland word before falling back into deep sleep.
When Mu Lee woke up, the sky was already bright. She immediately struggled to get up, but found that Gu Tingchen had long since disappeared.
Mu Lee scratched her fluffy hair. She walked on the soft carpet barefooted and opened the curtain, allowing the sunlight to shine on her without restraint. She was extremely satisfied.
Mu Lee stretched her body and walked into the washroom.
When she came downstairs, she found that breakfast was already prepared on the dining table. Mu Lee excitedly walked down to find Sister Liu busy in the kitchen.
"Sister Liu, have you seen Tingchen?" Mu Lee whispered.
"Isn't Second Young Master sleeping in his room? I haven't seen Second Young Master since early morning." The Sister Liu also had a trace of doubt.
"Xiao Li, you don't have to worry about Young Master, he probably left for work. Leaving so early is probably because he's on a business trip, and this is something that's common for the past few years." Sister Liu was already used to it, so she was not worried, and advised Mu Lee not to worry.
Mu Lee nodded, she turned and sat down at the dining table, Mu Lee looked at the table full of delicious food, and suddenly felt that it was boring. She had been together with Gu Tingchen for half a month, she was suddenly not used to not having him around for dinner.
Looking at Mu Lee's dejected and absent-minded appearance, Sister Liu smiled slightly and sat opposite to Mu Lee: "Xiao Li, are you thinking about Second Young Master?"
"Ah?" No, I didn't think about him." Mu Lee revealed an awkward smile, then her face turned red.
"It's unavoidable that you and Second Young Master will miss your newlyweds, since I won't laugh at you. Sister Liu is an experienced person, so of course I understand how you're feeling right now." Seeing Mu Lee's innocent look, Sister Liu could not help but tease him.
"I need to go out and buy some things later. Sister Liu, you accompany me. It's too boring to go shopping by myself." All these years, she didn't have any friends. Since she was only born in Sister Liu, she was more than willing to chat with this woman.
"This... That's not so good." She came here as a servant. Not only did Mu Lee not mind her being a servant, she even helped her out with the farm work first, and she was already very grateful to him. She didn't think that she would be able to follow Mu Lee around like a friend.
"What's wrong with that? I don't have any friends, and you're the only one who treats me the best. So, it's not a problem for you to accompany me out for a stroll." Previously, Gu Tingchen gave her a card, which she had already handed over to the hospital. She also had a lot of pocket money, so he wanted to buy some things.
Although this house was very big, it felt like it was missing something. She wanted to get this house changed before Gu Tingchen comes back.
