C1 Chapter 1

Night again.

The night sky was covered by heavy dark clouds. It was dark, and there were faint traces of moonlight.

Lin Yue'er stood on the balcony and looked up at the sky.

It was going to rain again.

Recently, the weather had been so gloomy. The air was damp, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

Someone approached from behind, "Young Madam, it's time to eat."

Retracting her gaze from the night sky, she replied faintly and turned around to follow Aunt Hua downstairs.

On the huge dining table, there were a few delicious dishes, all of which were the southern cuisines that she loved to eat. The Gu family had never mistreated her in this aspect, especially Aunt Hua. Ever since she was appointed by the Great-Grandfather to take care of her, they had been thinking of ways to cook the things that she liked to eat.

She sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and ate quietly.

No matter how refreshing the side dishes were, they still had a bitter taste in their mouths when they were chewed.

Lin Yue'er had long gotten used to eating alone like this. At first, she wanted Aunt Hua to eat with her. Aunt Hua had been in the Gu family for more than ten years and could be considered half a family. But she refused to do anything and Lin Yue'er gave up.

Looking at Young Madam's thin figure, Aunt Hua stood by the side. She really could not bear it, "Young Madam, I will go and call the Eldest Young Master."

"There is no need." She said to stop him, "The company is busy. There's nothing urgent, so don't disturb him."

Aunt Hua could not stop complaining, "What time is it now? No matter how busy you are, you have to go home and eat! I think Young Master is..."

Aunt Hua suddenly realized that she had misspoken and looked at her worriedly.

Lin Yue'er's brows slightly raised and said lightly, "Father just passed the company to him. It is reasonable for him to be busy."

"Hey, Young Madam, don't blame me for speaking too much. Although this man can't be as tense as a strand of hair, he can't let them do whatever they want! You and the young master have been married for a year, so the number of days he has at home is getting lesser and lesser! If this continues, sooner or later, he will give others a chance."

Aunt Hua earnestly tried to persuade and knew that she was doing it for her own good. Lin Yue'er smiled as a form of comfort and nodded, "I understand."

His opportunities were never given to him by her. He could do whatever he wanted and even did not bother to greet her.

Lin Yue'er naturally would not go into detail about these words to Aunt Hua. She had chosen her own days and she could not blame others for not being good or bad. After getting used to it, she did not feel that there was any difference.

After a simple dinner, Lin Yue'er returned upstairs.

Beside her bedroom, there was an independent studio. Most of the time after work, she spent here.

After an unknown amount of time, there was the sound of a car downstairs. Two bright car lights flashed past the window. Lin Yue'er then raised her head in shock and looked at the clock on the wall.

It was two o'clock in the morning.

Lin Yue'er rubbed her temples and started to clean up the equipment on the experiment table.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from the stairwell. There was still the faint sound of a man talking on the phone. "I'm home. En... "When the footsteps passed by her workshop, they did not even stop. She directly passed by and pushed open the door to the bedroom beside her to enter.

The door slammed shut.

Lin Yue'er lowered her eyes and took off the mask on her face. She stood up and moved her stiff neck. She took off her work clothes and turned around to leave the studio.

When he returned to the bedroom, he was taking a shower in the bathroom.

She put away the clothes that he casually threw on the sofa and found his pajamas and placed them on it.

At that moment, the phone on the table rang with a beeping sound.
