Chapter 49: It's fate, he also wanted to refuse

  Inside the door.

  Xiao Qian, who was working outside until midnight, clearly heard the movement outside at this time.

  Is Gu Yan back?

  Does she still have the nerve to come back?

  He really thought she was brave enough to stay out all night, but it seems that in the end, she still couldn't bear to be away.

  He was so angry that he thought if you don't come back, then don't come back for this lifetime, so he simply locked the door thoroughly.

  At this time, he heard her movement outside and his mood improved a lot.

  Not coming back?

  Let you know that Xiao's family gate is not always open for you.

  Gu Yu certainly didn't expect Xiao Qian to lock the door and stood still at the entrance for a while.

  Never mind, I've gotten used to it anyway.

  Gu Yu took a deep breath and turned to go down, but forgot about the injury on her leg. As she stepped down, she bumped into something and fell onto the doorstep with a thud.

  "Ah..." Gu Yu called out, because it was midnight, there were few security guards patrolling around, and naturally, no one could see her.

  Inside, Xiao Qian clearly heard it.

  Naturally, from the moment she started to pout, he was extremely attentive to every single movement outside, if she wasn't happy, then neither would he be. He thought to himself, feeling satisfied with every move Gu Yu made outside, and ridiculing her in his heart.

  But she didn't expect that the next moment, she let out a sigh of exclamation.

  The sound is not loud, but it's very mournful.

  His heart sank, and immediately, his footsteps had already stepped out.

  Damn woman, there's never a moment when you can let your guard down.

  Xiao Qian cursed in his heart as he walked out.

  This woman must be sent by heaven to make trouble for him!

  Looking at Gu Yawei on the ground, covering her calf, and wincing in pain, Xiao Qian cursed again in his heart before walking over.

  Gu Yu heard footsteps and turned around to see Xiao Qian already standing beside her.

  Gu Yu tilted her head, her eyebrows deeply furrowed as she looked at Xiao Qian.

  "Xiao Qian... why did you close the door."

  Gu Yu tilted her head, and because it was midsummer, City B, being a first-tier city located in the north, was still hot and dry. Even at night, she felt like she was steaming. She had long since discarded her jacket on the ground, leaving only a white tank top underneath, paired with 7/8 length pants. Normally, this outfit made her look professional and added to her elegance. However, without the jacket, the tank top revealed a bit too much - it was one of those short, trendy styles that had recently become popular, with a curved hem that exposed a small section of her midriff, roughly the size of a crescent moon. Her slender waist was also partially visible, and the loose-fitting 7/8 length pants hung low on her hips, looking like they might slide down at any moment.

  She sat there, with a visible gauze wrapped around her foot, and a faint bloodstain seeping through, which was the scar left when the bookshelf fell earlier.

  Because of this scar, it instead covered up her originally very pretty ankle.

  He hurried over and pulled up Gu Yu with one hand.

  "What's wrong with you, can't even walk properly." Frowning and shouting, he grabbed her wrist, one hand supporting her shoulder.

  Gu Yan's foot slipped and she almost fell again.
