Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 641 - 269.【Dew of Summer】Result._3

Wanxia never asked him if he had eaten dinner before coming back, nor did she notice his slightly furrowed brows because of a stomachache. From beginning to end, she remained very quiet.

Or rather, she actually did notice, but just felt there was no need to ask.

Whether he was uncomfortable, whether he lived or died, had nothing to do with her.

After dinner, Wanxia returned to the master bedroom to shower and rest, while Gu Shaozhi went to the study to handle business. The state between the two seemed very calm; there was nothing strange.

But... even if they stood face to face, the distance was so great they couldn’t see each other’s shadows anymore.

The rift that night was known only to them.

In other words, it appeared the crack had appeared after Wanxia saw Qiu Zheng in the mental hospital.

————

As usual, the two of them slept on the large bed in the master bedroom every night.

Gu Shaozhi would leave work on time and after dinner, would sometimes accompany Wanxia to watch a movie or be busy with work in the study.

After finishing up, he would wash up in the guest room, as Wanxia slept early. He was worried about waking her, so even his movements to undress were very light.

After lying on the bed, he would pull Wanxia, who had her back to him, into his arms. The kisses were so light they couldn’t be lighter, like feathers brushing softly against the skin.

He would occasionally dream, but his sleep state was much better than four years ago, whereas Wanxia remained awake throughout the night.

She would catch up on sleep during the day, so her health wasn’t too bad, but every evening upon waking up, the pervading dimness and solitude left her spiritless.

Sometimes she would forget who she was, where she was, or what she was supposed to do...

But the sudden pain in her heart would remind her that everything she was enduring now was her own responsibility.

...

Sheng Boyan called Wanxia a week later.

At ten in the morning, Wanxia had just fallen asleep for less than two hours. She didn’t have the habit of turning off her phone or setting it to silent, so she answered the call immediately.

Sitting on the bed with her head bowed low, her long hair spilled messily, completely covering her small face.

Her voice was somewhat hoarse, "Doctor Sheng, is there... is there a result?"

No one knew how long these eight days felt to her, especially during the nights when she couldn’t sleep; she almost had the illusion that the day would never dawn.

"Yes, all the test results are in. Wanxia, do you have time now? Zhenzhen and I are at the coffee shop from last time."

The one near the mental hospital.

Wanxia lifted the covers and quickly got out of bed, "I do, I’ll be there soon," she said apologetically, "but I’m quite far away now, so you’ll have to wait for me a little longer."

Even though she really wanted to ask now, it would be impolite to do so.

On the other end of the phone, Sheng Boyan responded gently, "Our flight is in the evening, there’s no rush. Take care on the road."

"Okay."

After the call ended, Wanxia immediately went to the bathroom to shower, drying her hair, changing clothes, and doing her makeup at the fastest pace.

It took her less than an hour to tidy herself up from a chaotic and dazed state to looking clean and refreshed.

For the past week, Wanxia had only come downstairs in the evening, so the servants were familiar with her schedule.

Seeing her neatly dressed and coming out of the bedroom at eleven o’clock, the servants were somewhat surprised, "Miss Ji, are you going out? Would you like to eat something first?"

These days, except for meals, Miss Ji basically wouldn’t come downstairs. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Wanxia descended the stairs and replied indifferently, "No need, I’m eating out."

As long as Mr. Gu wasn’t home, Miss Ji would appear cold and detached; the servants had gotten used to it.

"Alright."

After opening the door, she stepped aside to clear the way.

...

Yuan Yi was waiting outside the Qingshui Bay Villa at eight o’clock. When he saw Wanxia coming out of the gate, he hurriedly approached, "Miss Ji, I’ll take you there."

By saying this, he meant he knew where she was going.

Wanxia didn’t find it strange. She was under that man’s watchful eye at all times, knowing everything she did and everyone she met.

Not to mention, it was that mental hospital where even the staff had to be deferential to him.

The result came out, and he should be the first to know.

Wanxia glanced at Yuan Yi indifferently, her expression calm, "If you can get there in an hour, then drive; if not, I’ll take a taxi myself."

Yuan Yi nodded politely, "As long as there’s no traffic jam, I can definitely get you to your destination in the shortest time."

Unexpected factors are uncontrollable; even by taxi, they can’t be avoided.
