Gu Mian was somewhat nervous under his stare, and she could only ask, “About that… when can my older brother return?”
“Tomorrow or the day after.” Tang Zui replied indifferently and continued to dry his hair.
Gu Mian saw that he was no longer looking at her, and she immediately got up and rushed into the bathroom.
When Tang Zui turned around, he saw her running into the bathroom completely naked. His breath hitched and he immediately turned around and continued the motions of drying his hair. His gaze that was staring outside turned extraordinarily dark.
Gu Main took a shower and then said she was going to find Su Qianxun. Tang Zui did not stop her, and Gu Mian went to the dining hall to find Su Qianxun.
When she entered the dining hall, Su Qianxun and Si Mancheng were the only two people inside. Gu Mian asked, “Where’s Sir Jue? Why didn’t he come for breakfast?”
“He has gone back.” Su Qianxun lowered her head and ate. She was thinking about what she was going to buy home today.
“Go back? Where?” Gu Mian asked.
“Back to Long mansion. He has to go back for the new year today. Long family places more emphasis on rules.” Si Mancheng immediately explained. She had a cold expression on her face ever since Jue handed this young woman over to him.
Gu Mian did not say another word.
Gu Mian nervously glanced at the unhappy young woman beside her. She ordered her breakfast and started to eat, too.
“Qianxun, what are you going to do today? I can accompany you since I also have nothing much going on today. Are you going back to accompany Jiye?” Gu Mian asked.
“Yes.” Su Qianxun replied as she raised her head to look at her. “Don’t you have to accompany Tang Zui today?”
“He… He should go back home for the new year, too.” Gu Mian lowered her head somewhat awkwardly and started to eat.
“You’re a married couple, aren’t you supposed to go back together?”
“I don’t think so. Hey, why do you have so much to say? Isn’t it good that I’ll be accompanying you? Eat faster so we can go back earlier, I already want to eat Aunt Zhang’s dumplings.” Gu Mian urged her.
Su Qianxun lowered her head and continued to eat. When Tang Zui arrived, the three of them had already almost finished eating. Gu Mian immediately said, “I’ll accompany Qianxun today. I’ll come home at night.”
Tang Zui paused in his action of sitting down. He raised his head to look at her. Gu Mian was somewhat nervous as she grabbed Su Qianxun’s hand and then asked, “Can I?”
Tang Zui stared at her for a few seconds. Just when Gu Mian thought that he would reject her, he suddenly said, “Just as you please.”
“Thank you. Qianxun, let’s go.” Gu Mian tugged on Su Qianxun and walked out of the dining hall.
Tang Zui’s chest felt really tight. He knew that Gu Mian was avoiding him. If there was a chance, she would do everything to escape him.
He knew that she was not the one to blame, but he still felt extraordinarily bothered on the inside. He even had an impulse to lock her at home, to not let her leave home forever.
Si Mancheng reached out to pat Tang Zui’s shoulder when he passed by him, and said, “I think you must think carefully about how you’re going to handle your relationship with her from now on… She had already lost enough because of you. You can either reconcile or break up. There’re only these two choices.”
He patted Tang Zui’s shoulder after he said that. He then chased after Su Qianxun and Gu Mian. Long Sijue had instructed that he was responsible for Su Qianxun’s safety today.
Si Mancheng personally sent Su Qianxun and Gu Mian to her home. When they passed by a marketplace, Su Qianxun said that she wanted to go down to buy something. The two of them then got out of the car, whereas he waited for them in the car.
“What is actually wrong with you and Tang Zui? The relationship between the two of you is not a simple husband and wife relationship, right?” With furrowed brows, Su Qianxun turned around and looked at Gu Mian.
Gu Mian stared at her with a complicated gaze. Although she had a lot to say, she actually did not know how to explain it to her at this moment.
