Chapter 25: Making Room for You

Lín āyí, he still hasn't come back?

In the living room, a girl wearing high heels and with long wavy crabapple‑blossom‑colored hair sat on the sofa and asked.

Young Master went to pick up Madam.

Is that the woman he casually found? Does he even need to personally go fetch her?

The girl had never heard or seen him go pick up a woman before.

Yes, Young Master picks up Madam every day.

What does that woman do?

When Madam has free time she does part‑time work, and Young Master usually drives her there and back.

That's interesting.

The girl laughed.

Speak of the devil—just as they mentioned her, Liuli entered and saw a slender silhouette.

Young Mistress, you're back.

Lín āyí went up to greet her.

Lín āyí.

She saw the girl on the sofa, didn't ask anything, just greeted Lín āyí and went upstairs.

She couldn't be bothered to ask; it was just that he had brought another woman home again.

Seeing her cold demeanor, the girl's curiosity grew even stronger—someone had come to the house, a woman at that, yet she didn't utter a greeting.

You people, I've been on this long flight and you won't even come pick me up?

Seeing Gu Die enter, the girl sprang up.

I don't have time today.

No time? Then how do you have time to pick up your wife?

Lín āyí, prepare a room for her so she can rest early.

I don't want that!

Did she say anything just now?

Gu Die asked, wanting to know Liuli's reaction after seeing another girl in the house.

Her? She didn't ask anything, just went straight upstairs—looks like she doesn't care about you at all," the girl mocked.

Lín āyí.

Yes, Young Master.

As soon as he called Lín āyí, she understood his intent and hurried to prepare a room for the girl.

I'll sleep on the second floor.

Young Master?" Lín āyí still had to obey Gu Die's orders, after all, now that there was a Young Mistress, no one could just go up to the second floor.

Let her be.

Having said that, Gu Die sat on the sofa and smoked.

The girl didn't need to think to know why—it was strange for him to be in a good mood when that woman didn't even say a word.

What do you want me to help with?" the girl asked, sitting down.

This will be a bother, but I want you to go after someone.

Who? Your love rival?

Someone who's in the way.

Is he handsome?

This immediately sparked the girl's interest.

Gu Die handed her some photos; the guy in them had brown‑gray hair, was about 1.8 meters tall, and had a good build.

So handsome?" the girl stared, unable to look away.

Fine then, since you've finally opened your mouth, I'll grudgingly help you this once!

Though she said that, she was actually thrilled—this could help him, and she might even end up single herself!

Thanks." Gu Die took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Don't be so polite! I'm heading upstairs first!

The girl didn't go to the room Lín āyí had prepared for her; instead she went straight to Gu Die's room.

At that moment Liuli was taking a shower, so the girl wandered around the room looking.

When Liuli finished her shower and came out, she saw the girl sitting on the bed; the room felt just like her own.

The girl examined her: black, slightly wavy long hair, fair skin.

She looked Liuli over from head to toe.

Not bad.

The girl thought, actually she was quite pleased with Liuli's appearance.

Liuli dried her hair and left; the girl didn't care to intervene, even though he had brought another woman back to his own room.

The weather was hot, so she couldn't be bothered to think too much; otherwise, after just showering, she'd be sweating again in a moment.

Hey, what are you doing?

The girl chased after her.

I'm making room for you two.

Making room? What does that mean? The girl took a moment to figure it out, but Liuli had already gone to another room.

It seems this woman truly doesn't care about Gu Die at all—she's actually making space for him and another woman?!

Gu Die saw Liuli go to another room, then went upstairs and asked the girl what was happening.

Zihan, what's wrong with her?

Her? Cousin, you really just randomly found someone to marry, huh? Really impressive!

Otherwise?

Sigh! This also seems like something you would do.

Go to sleep.

Really makes people anxious, okay, I'm already sleepy, I'll sleep first.

Zihan went back to the room prepared by Lín āyí, took a shower and went to sleep. After sitting on a plane for over ten hours flying back from France, she really was a bit tired.

Liuli stayed in the place where Gu Die had been ambiguous with another woman last time; looking at this room, she inexplicably felt annoyed, and she didn't even know what she was annoyed about.

She had just lain down, casually picked up a book to read, when Gu Die walked in.

What are you doing here?

He asked coldly.

I'm making space for you guys, not delaying you.

She said with a smile, as if these words came from the heart.

Delay what?

He continued asking, his gray-black pupils holding back anger.

Delay you from handling proper business.

He could no longer control himself, quickly walked to the bedside, snatched the book from her hand and threw it out the window, his whole body pressing onto hers.

Then came an unexpected, aggressive kiss.

She wanted to push him away but couldn't.

His hand slowly caressed every part of her body, gentle yet overbearing.

But she didn't want anything to happen with him in this place where he had been ambiguous with countless women; she only felt like escaping.

Gu Die, don't be like this, I'm scared……

She could only beg for mercy, whether it would help or not.

Looking at this woman before her, she would actually beg for mercy, just to avoid him touching her?

Go back to the room and sleep.

He said that and then slammed the door shut.

She couldn't understand; he had taken another woman to his room, yet she didn't want to go back.

He still told her to go back to the room and sleep, but she refused.

She turned off the light and fell asleep.

Gu Die finished washing and discovered she hadn't returned to her room, so he went to the guest room to check on her; he didn't expect her to be so bold as to fall asleep just like that, so he had no choice but to carry her away.

The woman before him, asleep, looked like a quiet little rabbit, not moving at all.

Gu Die placed her head under his arm, holding her as he finally slept peacefully.

The next day, after the alarm rang once, she woke up, only to realize she was again sleeping with him; she wasn't clear when she had returned to the room.

Everyone says a woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea, but Gu Die's thoughts she felt were like a needle at the bottom of the sea, unfathomable.

What she most wanted to know was whether he truly had her in his heart.

She hastily turned off the alarm and then quietly got up.

After washing up, Lín āyí had already prepared the meals and was waiting for her.

She also found it strange, as if she had never told Lín āyí what time she would get up to eat.

She had just thought of going to the wardrobe to change clothes when Zihan followed her downstairs; she didn't know that this woman had spent the night at the Gu Family.

She casually picked out clothes to wear and then came out to eat.

"What is that room for?" Zihan asked Lín āyí.

"It's the wardrobe prepared by the Young Master for the Young Mistress."

Lín āyí replied.

Zihan's food instantly sprayed out.

When did the Gu Family ever have women's clothes, and yet they even prepared a separate wardrobe just for her?!

Coincidentally, she hadn't changed clothes yet, so she went to check the room.

"Can I go in?"

Before entering, Zihan also asked Liuli's opinion.

Liuli saw she was wearing pajamas, so she nodded and let her in; there were so many clothes inside that one person couldn't wear them all.

Zihan entered the room and was stunned; such a huge room full of clothes, shoes, accessories, and all kinds of cosmetics, everything one could need, unfortunately Liuli didn't really know how to do makeup.

For this woman, they've practically moved all the clothes back home, right?

Zihan thought, it seemed Gu Die was sincere this time; he had also thought he was really just casually marrying someone to appease his uncle-in-law, but that woman didn't care about her.

Zihan picked out a white long dress and put on a pair of silver earrings.

Zihan envied Liuli; although her family was wealthy, she still envied her. As his cousin, over all these years she had never received such treatment from him.

If he weren't her cousin, she would definitely marry a man like him.

She understood his helplessness, and could also see his love.

"What's your name?"

Zihan proactively asked Liuli.

"Chu Liuli."

My name is Luo Zihan, he is my cousin.

Oh.

Liuli nodded slightly; although she appeared calm on the surface, she was still somewhat happy inside—they turned out to be cousins.

Treat my cousin well, did you hear that?

Seeing Liuli show no reaction at all, she truly felt that Gu Die shouldn't be so good to her—what a waste of her heart!

I heard.

Liuli's calm, indifferent expression made Zihan feel like scolding her.

Gu Die came downstairs and still sat in his usual seat beside Liuli.

I'll send you off in a bit.

No need, I've already eaten; I'll go myself.

Liuli wiped her mouth and said.

I don't want to say it a second time.

Cousin, eat first.

Zihan, seeing the situation was not right, spoke up.

I also don't want to say it a second time.

Liuli directly refused, leaving Zihan stunned; she and Bai Xu sometimes didn't even dare to speak to him like that.

After Liuli finished speaking, she went out, and Gu Die's face turned terrifyingly cold.

Zihan also didn't know what to do, casually ate a couple bites and wanted to leave.

You can go.

Gu Die spoke without lifting his head.

Where to?

Follow her, and that guy will be your responsibility.

Oh, okay!

Only then did Zihan understand his meaning, and without thinking she followed behind Liuli.

Why are you following me?

Staying home is too boring; I'll go out with you.

Are you sure?

Sure!

Hearing Liuli's tone, it seemed she agreed to bring her along, and Zihan directly replied.

Liuli then wanted to go to the garage to drive a car.

Young Mistress, Miss.

Uncle Chen saw her and Luo Zihan and called out respectfully.

Uncle Chen, I want to use a car.

All right, Young Mistress.

You still know how to drive?

Zihan, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Liuli driving and asked.

I've always wanted to learn, but I never had the time.

Are you busy every day?

Liuli asked.

Yeah, I really envy you guys who can drive.

What's the big deal? You young ladies have dedicated drivers to take you wherever you want; why bother driving yourself?

Seeing Zihan's envious gaze, Liuli comforted her.

It's so cool to be able to drive yourself!

Zihan laughed, her two little tiger teeth looking adorable.
