The girl left. Wei Qiran stood at his original spot with the recruitment form in his hands.

Looking at the strange girl's leaving figure, Wei Qiran tilted his head. Somehow, he had the thought of going closer to get to know her.

At night, the moonlight shone through the window onto the recruitment form in Gu Yan's hands. She looked at it a few times.

During the day, the male student's words were still echoing in her head. By the time she reacted, the recruitment form was already in her hands.

She remembered what the boy had said.

— What's the point of living if you don't have something you like?

What's the point? Then what was the meaning of her life?

She couldn't figure it out, but Gu Mushen didn't tell her.

She had been brought to the Gu family ever since she was a child, and all of her thoughts came from the man who had brought her home.

Gu Musheng had once told her that if a person liked something, there would be others who hated it. If a person hated something, there would be others who hated it. If there was someone who hated something, there would be someone who hated it.

So, over and over again.

If a person forsakes the so-called liking from the beginning, there will be no evil after that, and there will be no eternal doom.

As he was thinking, he heard the door open downstairs.

It was Gu Mushen who returned to the Gu Mansion under the cover of night. He looked at the location of the girl's room, took off his outer garment, and asked Aunt Shen about Gu Yan's situation during the past few days.

After listening to Aunt Shen's narration, Gu Mushen walked in front of Gu Yan's room and coincidentally saw Gu Yan sitting upright on the bed, smiling at him.

"You're back." The girl spoke up.

Gu Mushen loosened his tie with one hand and walked to the girl's side to sit down. Gu Yan shrank to the side and took the chance to twist his body.

Gu Mushen caressed the girl's hair: "Aren't you happy that I'm back?"

"Happy."

Hearing her say this, the man's mouth curved up into a smile as he approached her. He rested his chin on the girl's head and continued to ask, "Have you missed me while I was gone for the past few days?"

"..." "Yes."

Gu Yan said after pondering for a while.

Not because this was the answer he wanted to hear, but because she really missed him a little.

She didn't know when, but every time he went on a business trip, she would unconsciously count the days.

She remembered that he had been away for the longest time, thirteen days, two weeks.

When the man returned, she heard his conversation with Aunt Shen outside. At that time, her first reaction was to hide the recruitment information. After Zhang Qin was expelled, she was a little afraid that the man would be too hard to control.

Finally, she hid the watch under her pillow and Gu Mushen walked in.

The man smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead.

In the next second, Gu Mushen glanced over and saw a corner of white paper under her pillow. She thought about how restrained she was when she entered the room, and her eyes slightly narrowed.

He supported Gu Yan's pillow with his hands, soft and supple, emitting the faint fragrance of a girl.

"What did you do today?" Gu Mushen asked.

The girl looked at the man's hand on her pillow and froze.

She pursed her lips, unconsciously pulled the pillow corner along with his hand, and casually replied, "I went to class this morning, and I'll be back in the afternoon."

Until now.

How could Gu Mushen not see her actions? He only smiled as he listened to what she said, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Is that so?" the man asked her in a cold voice.

Gu Yan subconsciously raised her head to look at him. The man's deep eyes were pitch black, it made her heart tremble.

"Yes …"

She nodded, hearing herself answer the man.

Hearing that, Gu Mushen lowered his eyes and glanced at her hand that was moving together, he stood up, then walked around the girl to the side. Gently, under the eyes of the girl, he pulled out the piece of paper from under his pillow.

"Then Yan Yan, tell me, what is this?"

With the three words "recruitment form" in his hands, Gu Yan stared at it in a daze, his mouth tightly pursed, not knowing what to say.

"Yan Yan, you lied to me."

Gu Mushen's voice was light, but carried a tinge of chilliness.

He lifted her chin and forced her to look up at him.

When Gu Yan saw that his eyes had lost the gentle glow from before, and was replaced with a pitch-black pupils that seemed like they couldn't melt ink, the man leaned over and looked at her, stroking her cheeks as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Lies are not good."

If he was not obedient, he would be punished.
