He stared at the cell phone screen while breathing heavily. After giving it a bit of thought, he deleted the words he had just typed, changing them to “Where are you?”

The person on the other end of the phone was probably surprised by what she saw. She replied to that text after quite a while with, “I’m at home.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t intend to respond to that text message after he read it. He suddenly closed the laptop and stood up with it. As he was about to leave, another text message came in. “What’s wrong?”

What’s wrong? He hadn’t responded to her text, but she continued to text him. Was that how much she wanted to chat with Lu Bancheng?

Gu Yusheng rushed to the door in anger with the laptop still in his hand. He didn’t remember that he still had Lu Bancheng’s phone until he was about to reach the door.

He was so enraged by her that he didn’t even know what he was doing.

Gu Yusheng turned around with fire in his eyes. He tossed Lu Bancheng’s cell phone roughly on the sofa and kicked off his slippers to change into his dress shoes.

He didn’t even tie his shoes before he pushed the door open. When he was about to walk out, for some reason, he thought about what Lu Bancheng had said to her before he went upstairs. He had told her to call her back when he was done.

Gu Yusheng couldn’t believe that Lu Bancheng wanted to call her back to continue their talk.

Gu Yusheng paused for a second and placed his laptop down harshly on the shoe shelf in the entryway. He walked in strides back to the sofa without even changing his shoes. He picked Lu Bancheng’s cell phone up and searched for Liang Doukou’s phone number. He stared at her number for a while and changed the last digit from four to seven.

Didn’t Lu Bancheng want to call her back? Well, he would make sure Lu Bancheng would call the wrong person.

When Gu Yusheng was about to toss the phone back on the sofa, he suddenly remembered something. He tapped on messages and texted her, “I’m busy right now. I’ll call you back soon.”

He received Liang Doukou’s text that agreed in under a minute. Gu Yusheng deleted all the text messages between them without any hesitation.

Lu Bancheng now had Liang Doukou’s number wrong on his phone. He laughed at Liang Doukou’s response of “okay,” since she would never receive his call.

Gu Yusheng finally felt a little better. He tossed Lu Bancheng’s phone on the sofa, turned around, and walked out of the house.

When a taxi drove into the yard, the housekeeper was watering the flowers.

She was so surprised that she put down her spray bottle and stood up. While she was checking who was in the taxi, she saw the backseat door push open. Gu Yusheng got out of the taxi with a gloomy face.

She wondered why Mr. Gu had come back in a taxi. She didn’t recover from the shock for a while, but when she did, she immediately greeted him, “Mr. Gu.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t look like he had heard her. He tossed the taxi driver a hundred dollar bill and rushed to the house with his laptop.

The housekeeper immediately followed after him and took his slippers out for him.

Gu Yusheng walked into the living room after he changed into the slippers. He slammed his laptop on the coffee table. The housekeeper jumped from the loud noise.

Gu Yusheng glanced around the living room, but didn’t see Liang Doukou. He turned around to ask the housekeeper, “Where is Miss?”

“Miss is upstairs,” the housekeeper said.

Before the housekeeper had finished speaking, Gu Yusheng had disappeared to the staircase. He went to the master bedroom first. It was empty. He closed the door after himself and pushed the study’s door open. He didn’t allow anyone to go into the study without his permission.
