Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 602 - 259. [Dew of Summer] "Busy going back to find Ji Wanxia?"_3
The vibration of the phone in his pocket rang out, Gu Shaozhi stopped his steps, and a hint of expectation arose in his otherwise calm heart.
Yes, it was expectation.
He knew well that she would prepare dinner on time and wait for him to return, deliberately staying in the office for nearly four more hours, just to see if she would get angry.
The mask of pretense he had been wearing for so long made him somewhat miss Mrs. Gu—who would show him a cold face, had a big temper, and would call to check on him if he came home late when he had no social engagements.
As he took the phone out of his pocket, Gu Shaozhi’s breath slowed down, but the screen flashed with two characters: Huai’an.
A mocking curve emerged.
Ha, how could it be her.
Even if he didn’t come home for a week, she wouldn’t call to ask.
"Still busy?"
Gu Shaozhi took long strides, got into the car, and spoke lightly, "No."
In the luxuriously decorated VIP room, besides the driver, there was only Lu Huai’an.
The scent of alcohol in the air was not pungent, but the tobacco smell was extremely strong.
Quiet, empty, not what a bar should be like, but indeed it was a bar.
The light was dim, Lu Huai’an’s angular features were hidden in shadow, slowly shaking the amber liquid in the glass, "Opened a bottle at Jinye, care to have a drink?"
Gu Shaozhi ordered Yuan Yi to drive, thin lips uttering two words, "No time."
Lu Huai’an curled his lips, sneered and asked, "Busy going back to sleep with Ji Wanxia?"
The unhurried tone was filled with mockery.
Under the heavy night, the skyscrapers were adorned with magnificent neon lights, making this sleepless city exceptionally beautiful.
Gu Shaozhi leaned against the car window, dark eyes slightly closed, his handsome face as indifferent as an icy well.
His distinctly jointed fingers pressed against his temples, giving the other person equal derision, "Are you qualified to mock me?"
After saying that, he hung up the call.
Yuan Yi had worked at the Gu Family for six years, naturally realizing that his boss was in a bad mood at this moment, even worse than at noon.
While paying attention to the road conditions, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Gu, where to?"
After Yuan Yi asked, he received no response for a long time, so he could only drive forward along the road.
Approximately four minutes later, he heard two words from the backseat, "Home."
Indifferent, yet helpless.

When Gu Shaozhi returned home, although all the lights were on with a soft glow, the living room was still extremely empty.
If the shoe rack in the foyer didn’t have those high heels, he would have thought he was alone in the villa.
Like the past four years.
He walked to the dining room, poured a cup of plain water, his gaze lightly fell on the thoroughly cooled dishes on the dining table, "Wanwan and An Ge are already asleep?"
The servant nodded and responded respectfully, "Yes, sir, Miss Ji prepared dinner for you, but it has already cooled, I will reheat the dishes for you."
She spoke, then reached out intending to pick up a plate.
"No need."
The three words spoken with no fluctuation made the hand of the servant stop in the air.
Gu Shaozhi drank half a cup of water, pulled out a chair and sat down, his cold stern features as usual, without any emotion revealed.
The servant standing beside him heard Gu Shaozhi instruct her to go rest, respectfully responded ’yes,’ then softly returned to her room.
...
He didn’t know how long he sat at the dining table.
After finishing a cigarette, Gu Shaozhi picked up the chopsticks and began to eat dinner.
Every dish was cold, the taste and texture not particularly good, Gu Shaozhi was picky about food, and even at a five-star restaurant, if it didn’t suit his taste, he wouldn’t eat a bite. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Yet, this dinner, which wasn’t abundant and could even be said to be ordinary, he tried every dish.
She had made it with her own hands, if re-heated by someone else, it wouldn’t be the same taste anymore.
Wanxia walked out of the bedroom, intending to go downstairs for a drink of water, as she descended the stairs, she saw the man sitting in the dining room smoking.
He slightly hung his head down, surrounded by the pale blue smoke, his features were blurred.
She had to go to the dining room, if she wanted to drink water.
In the ashtray on the table, there were six or seven cigarette butts scattered.
While pouring herself water, Wanxia casually asked, "Would you like tea?"
Gu Shaozhi merely looked at her, neither saying yes nor no, his dark eyes deep as a secluded sea, emotions hidden complicated and difficult to discern.
Without getting an answer, Wanxia didn’t mind, she simply took it as self-inflicted awkwardness, and after drinking half a cup to quench her thirst, she prepared to return to her room to rest.
