C9 How Do I Sleep?

Gu Anqian was already shy about what happened last night. Ling Siting was still at the dinner table, and he didn't want her to have a good meal.

"I am not shy." Gu Anqian straightened her back and said, "This is the first time I am eating with Director Ling. I am nervous."

Ling Siting saw through Gu Anqian's lie. "What are you nervous about? We will get along like this every day from now on."

Ling Siting's words were too natural. It was so natural that Gu Anqian almost thought that they had known each other for a long time.

It was very easy for Director Ling to get familiar with other people.

When Gu Anqian saw Ling Siting eating, she also took a small bite.

Gu Anqian ate as she observed her surroundings. The housekeeper and maids were guarding by the side, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"What do you plan to do with your best friend's matter?" At this time, Ling Siting asked.

Gu Anqian had just drank a mouthful of soup and was almost scalded. She originally thought that she had already bypassed this matter, but she did not expect Director Ling to still insist on not letting go.

Gu Anqian put down the spoon, picked up the white handkerchief, wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "I have my plans for this matter. Thank you Director Ling for your good intentions."

Ling Siting's dark eyes slightly narrowed. "You don't believe my investigation results, or do you not believe that your best friend would do such a thing?"

Director Ling's tone could not be refuted, but what was the difference between these two?

Gu Anqian did not want to argue with Ling Siting. He had his way of doing things, and Gu Anqian had her own decision.

"I trust you, but I want to deal with this privately." Gu Anqian lowered her eyes guiltily and picked up the spoon to drink the soup slowly.

Ling Siting seemed to have seen through Gu Anqian's thoughts and did not continue to ask. The second half of the meal was silent.

When the dinner was about to end, Ling Siting saw that Gu Anqian had already put down the bowls and chopsticks. He used a white handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth and said, "Tomorrow morning you and I will go and settle the procedures."

"What kind of paperwork do I need to go with you?" Gu Anqian did not know what areas Director Ling needed her for his work.

Ling Siting laughed in a low voice. "Have you forgotten our contract?"

Gu Anqian's face was slightly red. She naturally remembered that whenever she mentioned the contract, she would think of that night when she took the initiative to go crazy. It was mixed with ambiguous feelings and humidity.

"Since you remember, from today onwards, you will fulfill Mrs. Ling's obligation. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the morning, Cheng Ya will drive you back to get your household register and identification card. I will see you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"So fast?" Gu Anqian could not catch her breath. From last night until today, not even 24 hours had passed. Ling Siting did not give her any time to rest.

"Director Ling, aren't we being too hasty?" Gu Anqian crossed her arms. She had not had enough of being single. Why was she suddenly going to marry Ling Siting?

"I have made it very clear last night. Miss Gu, did you go back on your word?" Ling Siting raised his eyelids and asked.

I didn't! " Since Gu Anqian had already thought of the pros and cons and signed the contract, she naturally did not intend to go back on her word.

"Okay, I'll see you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning." Ling Siting smiled faintly.

Gu Anqian answered quietly. She looked at her watch. It was already eleven o'clock. She got up and said, " Director Ling, it is not early anymore. I... "

Butler, bring Miss Gu to take a bath and let her rest early tonight. " Ling Siting's meaning was very obvious. At this time, he did not plan to let Cheng Ya send her back to live.

"Miss Gu, this way please." The butler said.

Gu Anqian stood opposite of Ling Siting shyly and did not follow the butler.

Ling Siting looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"How are we going to sleep tonight?" Gu Anqian crossed her hands and asked this question with embarrassment.

Gu Anqian and Ling Siting were not that familiar with each other.

Ling Siting found it funny and asked Gu Anqian back, "How do you want to sleep?"

"I will sleep separately with you!" Gu Anqian said without thinking.

Ling Siting quietly looked at Gu Anqian and did not say anything for a while.

Although Ling Siting's appraisal did not have any ill intentions, it made Gu Anqian feel some invisible pressure.

Gu Anqian had to explain, "I still feel some pain when I walk now, so I am not convenient today."

Ling Siting smiled but did not smile much. He said, "Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight."

Gu Anqian heaved a sigh of relief, but Ling Siting did not seem to agree to sleep in separate rooms.

Gu Anqian's heart, which had just relaxed, tightened again. She got up and said, "Director Ling, I think I should go back."

"Didn't you want to ask why we are married?" Ling Siting's long legs were casually crossed. He knocked on the table with his knuckles. "You want to leave before you can ask me why?"

Gu Anqian stood where she was and her heart was in a dilemma.

Ling Siting said. "You stay, I will tell you the reason."

Gu Anqian crossed her hands and secretly took a look at Ling Siting's expression. Last night, the two of them were naked and entangled together. So what if she slept here for the night? Besides, didn't he promise not to touch her?

"Alright, then let's sleep separately, Director Ling?" Gu Anqian asked tentatively.

Ling Siting did not say anything. He looked at Gu Anqian with a smile and pretended that she had tacitly agreed.

Gu Anqian followed the butler to the room to wash up. The maid pulled the chair behind her and handed her bag and clothes over. The maid followed the butler to send her back to the room.

Ling Siting watched Gu Anqian walk out of the room and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. "Cheng Ya."

Cheng Ya was about to withdraw and go to the car. He heard Ling Siting's orders and turned around. He walked to Ling Siting's side and stood still. He looked at the crack in the ground and asked with his head down, "Director Ling, what orders do you have?"

Ling Siting raised his hand and untied the button on the shirt around his neck. He took the suit from the servant. He said coldly. "Send someone to keep an eye on Fu Xueqi."

Cheng Ya agreed.

The butler led Gu Anqian to the bedroom on the third floor.

Instead of calling it a bedroom, But it's more like a luxury suite with everything inside.

This should be Ling Siting's private residence.

Gu Anqian looked around and saw the lead grey bed. Thinking of last night, her legs inexplicably went soft.

Gu Anqian retracted her gaze with a red face and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The warm and comfortable water temperature opened every pore on Gu Anqian's body. The incense in the bathroom had a calming effect and she was already a little sleepy.

Gu Anqian put on her bathrobe and stood in front of the mirror to brush her teeth. The dense water vapor covered the mirror with a layer of fog.

Gu Anqian raised her hand to wipe the fog off the mirror. When she saw herself in the mirror, her palm sized face was full of tenderness. Although she removed her makeup, her skin was still as smooth as a piece of white jade.

Gu Anqian came out and saw Ling Siting sitting by the bar counter. He was wearing a bathrobe and his hair seemed to be a little damp.

The low-profile and luxurious crystal ceiling emitted a warm yellow glow.

Ling Siting lowered his head and his long eyelashes fell on his lower eyelids, forming a shadow. His pink and thin lips were pursed tightly. He held half a glass of red wine in his hand and controlled the tablet with the other hand. He was solemn and serious.

Ling Siting had taken a shower?

Why would Ling Siting appear in this room? Didn't he promise Gu Anqian that he would sleep in separate beds?

What was Ling Siting doing here?

"Director Ling..." Gu Anqian opened her mouth and was about to ask him if he had gone to the wrong room, but it did not seem appropriate for her to ask him this. This was Ling Siting's private residence. Even if he had gone to the wrong room, it was still her fault.

Ling Siting moved his gaze away from the tablet and landed on Gu Anqian's face. He quietly waited for her to speak again.
