Biting the red lips

Chapter 37
Didn't Gu Huaichen buy a safe for her?
The most dangerous place is often the safest place, why not put things there?

Sheng Wan squinted her eyes, thinking about it in her mind and instantly came up with a plan.

She rubbed the worn and yellowed diary, carefully rolled it up, stuffed it back into the scroll, and then drove back to Gu's house.

Mid-level villa.

Sheng Wan turned off the car and got out of the car on high heels.

"Ms. Sheng, you are back, have everything been settled?"

Aunt Zhou's voice sounded in the living room.

Sheng Wan paused and glanced at Aunt Zhou who had just come down from upstairs, her eyes flashing.

"It's all done. It doesn't take much time to simply close an account." Sheng Wan answered Aunt Zhou with a smile.

"That's good. I was worried that you would be delayed. Xiaochen just called and said that he had lunch at the company and would be back in the afternoon. It is estimated that after lunch, you will leave for the Luo family. .”

"Well, I know. Huaichen told me last night, but..."

Sheng Wan lowered her eyes slightly, with a look of struggle on her face, "I wonder if Mr. Luo doesn't like me..."

As if she could see her worries, Aunt Zhou patted her shoulders comfortingly, with loving eyes: "I lived with Xiaochen in the Luo family for a few years. Leaving aside other people, Mr. Luo is still a very good person. He is very kind to her. The juniors below have always been very tolerant and will not deliberately embarrass you."

"It's not that I'm worried about this, I'm just a little... shy about being close to home."

Sheng Wan pursed her lips, "I remember when I was a child, I often went to Luo's house with my father to visit Mr. Luo. After my father passed away, I never went to Luo's house again. I guess the old man won't recognize me when we meet again."

"...Miss Sheng, don't think too much, there are still days to come, we all have to look forward." Aunt Zhou raised her hand and stroked Sheng Wan's back, her eyes filled with pity.

Probably wanting to divert Sheng Wan's attention, Aunt Zhou focused her eyes on the hanging painting in her hand.

"Miss Sheng, is this the painting you bought?"

Sheng Wan's thoughts returned and she quickly came to her senses.

When Aunt Zhou mentioned the mysterious hanging paintings, she did not deliberately avoid them. Instead, she directly took out the hanging paintings and slowly unfolded them in front of Aunt Zhou.

"This painting of Three Friends in Suihan is a calligraphy treasure that my father had during his lifetime. I went to the bank to cancel my account today, and I accidentally saw it, so I thought of a way to buy it. It can be a souvenir for myself."

There were mixed truths and falsehoods, so Aunt Zhou naturally had no doubts, but did not dare to delve deeper, for fear of poking into Sheng Wan's sadness and adding salt to her wounds.

"Since it is Professor Sheng's calligraphy treasure during his lifetime, it must be kept well. By the way, didn't Xiaochen buy you a safe two days ago? I see that the cabinet is quite big, why not just put it there?"

Aunt Zhou enthusiastically gave her suggestions, which suited Sheng Wan's wishes.

"That's what I planned too." Sheng Wan nodded, "Then I'll go upstairs first."

"Go quickly. I'll call you when lunch is ready. We have your favorite Longjing shrimp for lunch today." Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

Sheng Wan smiled and went to the room upstairs with the hanging painting.

……

In the afternoon, Sheng Wan finished her lunch and took a walk in the garden to eat.

Suddenly her cell phone rang. She took it out and saw on the screen that the caller was - Gu Huaichen.

Sheng Wan curled her lips, but had to brace herself to answer the phone.

"Honey, what can I do for you?"

"At home?" Gu Huaichen's voice was low and magnetic, without any emotion. "Get ready, I'll be home soon."

"Ah? So fast?" Sheng Wan pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, "I haven't picked out my clothes yet, what should I do?"

Her tone was anxious, but her face looked rested.

A man's angry voice came from the other side of the phone: "Didn't I remind you last night? Why didn't you prepare in advance? What, you turned a deaf ear to what I said?" "Dear, I really didn't mean it. Listen to me. explain."

Sheng Wan endured her nausea and said coquettishly in an extremely sweet voice, "Last night you tortured me so much that I almost fell apart. How can I remember what you said before?"

"So it's still my fault?"

Gu Huaichen was delighted by her words, with a faint smile in his voice, "The day I stop tormenting you is the time when you should cry."

"I hate it, I won't talk to you anymore." Sheng Wan's voice was squeaky and her expression was coquettish, "I'm going to prepare first, please go slower on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Wan raised her eyes and saw Aunt Zhou looking at her with a suppressed smile.

It seemed that she heard what she just said.

Now, no matter how thick-skinned Sheng Wan was, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't bother to talk to Aunt Zhou, and ran away when she fell down.

Running all the way back to the second floor of the villa, Sheng Wan sat in front of the dressing table in the bedroom, let out a long breath, and then dressed up carefully before coming downstairs.

First floor living room.

Gu Huaichen spread his arms and half-reclined on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.

Hearing the noise coming downstairs, he opened his eyelids, raised his eyes slowly and looked over, and then his eyes paused.

The woman stood quietly at the entrance of the stairs, her long, slightly curly hair casually scattered on her shoulders, and the broken hair in front of her forehead was tucked behind her ears, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

Wearing a pure white shirt dress, paired with her bright and beautiful face, she looks like a gardenia blooming on a summer branch, with a rich fragrance that exudes a pure charm.

Seeing the man's stunned look, the smile on Sheng Wan's face grew wider, and she lifted the hem of her skirt and turned it around in front of him.

"Honey, do I look good like this?"

Gu Huaichen came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his cold eyes flickering, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "The skirt is good."

Sheng Wan's smile faltered and she stared at him in disbelief: "Is it just the skirt that's good?"

Gu Huaichen's thin lips were slightly hooked, and his dark gaze passed over her plump pink lips, her straight and slender nose, and finally fell on her pair of dark and translucent almond eyes.

Obviously he didn't say anything, but the aggression in his eyes was very obvious.

Sheng Wan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

He coughed lightly and reminded: "It's getting late, we should set off."

"Well, it's time to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa, approached her, leaned over and put his thin lips to her ear, and his warm breath enveloped her instantly: "Skirts are good, but what I like more is people wearing skirts."

Sheng Wan was startled.

By the time she reacted, Gu Huaichen had already put his arm around her waist, taking her out of the villa and into a black luxury car.

On the wide asphalt road, a black luxury car slowly drove out of the villa area and headed for the western suburbs gardens.

It was quiet in the car.

As soon as Gu Huaichen got in the car, he leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Sheng Wan glanced at him, asked the driver to play some soothing music, and then stared at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

The man's deep voice suddenly sounded.
