Gu Zheng was very clearly aware of his body. He was very healthy, but what puzzled him was whether he and Qiao Xi had slept on the same bed before this?
“In the past… we would sleep together?”
Song Shiyu looked shocked. “President, have you lost your memory? You’re husband and wife, so of course, the two of you slept together!”
Sleep together? But didn’t Gu Zheng not like Qiao Xi? If that was the case, why did they sleep together? Did they have to act at home and pretend to be loving even in front of Song Shiyu?
If they had been sleeping on the same bed, why did Qiao Xi suddenly want to move back? Had she noticed something, or had Gu Zheng done a good job of hiding the truth?
Gu Zheng thought that he should ask Song Shijing. He was his personal assistant and should know the inside story.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Song Shiyu rushed over and stopped him. “President, you’ve been acting so strange recently!”
Gu Zheng looked up. “What’s wrong?”
Song Shiyu looked pensive, then widened his eyes in shock. “I said that you’re facing problems in that aspect, but you’re not angry? You haven’t deducted my salary for a long time!”
The living room was silent. Seeing Song Shiyu’s shocked expression, Gu Zheng frowned again. Had Gu Zheng always deducted his subordinate’s salary?
Gu Zheng secretly made up his mind and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t deduct your salary in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked to the bedroom, but his footsteps stopped before Qiao Xi’s bedroom door.
The corridor was dark. Gu Zheng knew that the other Gu Zheng was afraid of the dark, so even though it was late at night, the corridor of Longwan Residential would still be lit. This seemed to have become a habit for the servants, but now that the lights in the corridor were switched off, the entire villa was dark.
In the past, Gu Zheng was used to bright lights. Now that the villa was so dark, did no one find it strange?
Gu Zheng took out his phone and called Song Shijing.
Song Shijing was shocked. “President, haven’t you recovered? Has the poison acted up again?”
Previously, the president could not see in the dark, but Young Madam seemed to have already cured the poison in the president’s body. Although the president had not fully recovered, he could at least see in the dark.
Gu Zheng’s mind was slightly chaotic. He seemed to have lost some of his memories. Could it be that Gu Zheng’s poison had already been cured? It was Qiao Xi who cured him?
Gu Zheng did not ask further. It was as if he already had the answer in his heart. Qiao Xi being willing to save Gu Zheng meant that their relationship was not bad. Was that man really not good to her? Perhaps he had misunderstood.
At this moment, he felt that he had lost the reason to exist. Previously, his existence was to protect Qiao Xi. He would not let Qiao Xi be bullied, but now that he knew the truth, should he still continue to occupy this body?
…
The next morning.
Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, which gradually recovered their clarity. He did not know why, but he felt inexplicably sad as if he had lost something.
He reached out to touch the other side of the bed. Xi Xi was not by his side. There was no warmth in the bed at all. She seemed to have left very early.
Gu Zheng got dressed and came out of the bedroom when he bumped into Song Shiyu.
Song Shiyu thought of what the president had said about not deducting his salary in the future and said slyly, “President, you were alone on the empty bed and could sleep until now. Did you do something bad last night?”
Gu Zheng said expressionlessly, “Song Shiyu.”
“Huh?”
“How long has it been since I last deducted your salary?”
Song Shiyu: “???” Didn’t he say that he wouldn’t deduct his salary anymore? The president wasn’t keeping his word!
Gu Zheng pursed his lips and asked, “Why did Young Madam return to the second bedroom?”
Hearing his question, Song Shiyu said with disdain, “I wanted to ask you that! Young Madam moved back a week ago. You must have made her angry. What did you do wrong? Tell me and I’ll help you think of a way to make her forgive you.”
A week ago? But they slept together just last night!
Gu Zheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. A trace of nervousness flashed past his eyes.
Did Qiao Xi move out of the master bedroom because she found out that there was another personality in his body?
In the past, every time that personality appeared, it was because he was being bullied or he was in danger. Why did it suddenly occupy his body this time?
At this moment, Qiao Xi walked out of the room and sized up Gu Zheng. She could not help but be stunned.
“Gu Zheng?” Qiao Xi met his eyes and could feel the gentleness and emotions overflowing from them. Her eyes burned as she ran over excitedly and pounced into his embrace. “Ah Zheng!”
