Chapter Twenty-Four

  Wang Shaokuo slept more soundly than usual in Shen Lue's arms, not knowing if it was really due to the fatigue of the journey, but he actually slept so well in such an unfamiliar environment.

  There were no windows in the room, and it was unclear what time it was. It always felt like I had slept for a long time. I stretched out my hand to touch my phone, but found that I was holding her arm tightly instead. Shen's head lightly rubbed against my neck: "Awake?" His voice was slightly hoarse.

  Wang Shaokuo was tickled and turned around with a inexplicably red face, asking "What time is it?"

  Shen Yue slightly raised her hand to touch her phone, and the screen lit up, shining on her face. Her eyes were deep and determined, somewhat different from usual: "8:10, having only slept for four hours, shouldn't you sleep a bit more? Or are you hungry?"

  "No, I always feel like I've slept for a long time, but it turns out I only slept for four hours."

  "Hmm, I didn't know Ke was so unwilling to sleep with me. It's only been four hours and it feels like forever!" Shen said with a hint of resentment.

  "What... how can that be... don't talk nonsense, it's comfortable." Wang Shaokuo's face was bright red at this time, but fortunately, it couldn't be seen in the dark. He hurriedly explained, and as a result, his hand accidentally slid down and touched Shen Lüe's smooth and tender thigh. It was as if he had been bewitched, and his fingers inexplicably stopped on that delicate skin.

  In the darkness, Shen Yue lightly let out a laugh: "How's the feel?"

  Her face was already burning, and just as she thought of pulling her hand away, it was grasped by Shen Lüe.

  Wang Shaokuo hesitated and forgot to respond.

  "Can you tell me where your hand is?" Shen murmured: "Or what do you want to do to me, huh?"

  Wang Shaokuo's face turned bright red, and as Shen Lue spoke, her mind went blank, her palms slightly sweaty, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense.

  "...Shen...Lue..." The words had barely left his lips when they were covered by Shen Lue's soft, moist kiss.

  At the same time, Shen Lue's mobile phone also rang. Wang Shaokuo tried to retreat nervously, but found that his body had already been fixed by Shen Lue.

  The mobile phone ringtone continued to sound, but Shen Yue completely ignored it.

  Two missed calls, one text message.

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  Lips and lips gently and warmly rubbed against each other, Shen Yue seemed to have given her a very long loving kiss.

  Until Wang Shaokuo couldn't breathe, Shen Lue was satisfied and left. He stood up and picked up his phone, the light from the screen made Wang Shaokuo clearly see the cold expression on Shen Lue's face.

  "What's wrong?" asked with concern, this expression doesn't look like someone who just finished a romantic entanglement.

  Shen Yue put away his phone, and his cold expression hid in the darkness again. He said softly, "It's nothing. Get up, there are still many things to do today."

  Wang Shaokui's face turned red: "......Oh."

  The sudden change in front of him made Wang Shaokuo confused. He could feel the person next to him leave, footsteps heading towards the bathroom, the light inside was turned on, and the surroundings also became clear with the light.

  What's wrong?

  Why does Shen Yue's expression look very unhappy?

  From Wang Shaokuo getting up from bed to meeting with them, the three people who had just finished breakfast were about to go see Guan Qing but were stopped by Shen Lue.

  "I think Miss Gu needs to leave now." Shen said lightly.

  "What's going on?" Wang Shaokui asked.

  Shen Yue's expression was no longer his usual smile, and he said coldly, "Something has come up, I need to take care of it. Since I won't be here, I may not be able to ensure your safety, so you should follow me and leave together."

  Three people: "......"

  "Where are you going?" asked Qian Tong.

  "Miss Gu's disappearance was announced early this morning, and the fact that she has a mental illness has been notified to major British media outlets. If she is not found within a certain period of time, it is possible that she may be suspected of committing suicide. As her brother, Gu Feng naturally has the right to take control of all shares of the Gu Corporation." Shen Yue said lightly: "At the same time, the media will find Miss Gu and Mr. Gu's psychologist at the first opportunity. I think what you need to handle is to get Miss Gu to regain consciousness as soon as possible, and then hold a press conference to explain these matters."

  "Bring that doctor." Si Luo Chen said calmly.

  Shen nodded slightly: "Dr. Si is indeed clever, he may be the last key and also a card to turn against Gu Feng, but there's also some danger involved. You all need to pay attention to safety, as for how to do it, that's up to you."

  "I've troubled you with my affairs, Miss Shen," said Xiang Qiantong.

  "Doctor Xiang, you're overthinking it. I'm happy to help you.

  "Luò Chén, come with me to see Gù Qīng," said Xiàng Qiān Tóng.

  Si Luo Chen glanced at Wang Shao Ke and Shen Lue, nodded in agreement, and the two left.

  From the conversation just now, it can be heard that Shen Yue's meaning is that she wants to leave again. Over the years, every time they meet, it's only for a few days at most, standing silently on the spot without speaking.

  "What's wrong, Xiao Ke?" Shen Lüe walked closer to her and asked softly.

  "You... are you okay? If something's wrong, you can tell me." She herself didn't quite understand this worried feeling.

  The woman in front of him was even more powerful than he had imagined, with a very deep background. Where would she need his help? But... Wang Shaokuo couldn't control that feeling, it wasn't like this the last time they parted ways, why now?

  "Are you worried about me?"

  Wang Shaokuo didn't say a word, but her expression betrayed her.

  "Don't worry, there are some things I need to take care of myself. Then..." Shen leaned in close to Wang Shaokai and whispered, "Wait for you to come find me."

  Wang Shaokui was silent for a moment: “……”

  "It may no longer be safe at the doctor's house." Shen Yue handed her a key: "This is my home, it's very safe."

  Before Wang Shaokuo could react, Shen said the address in a low voice and turned to leave.

  Wang Shaokuo looked at the key in his hand, his brow furrowed. He stared at Shen Lue's slender back, and sighed in his heart: "How many secrets do you have?"

  Two hours later, Shen drove them away. They returned to New York City, as if this night was a world apart.

  The car stopped by the side of the road, Shen Yue handed over the driver's seat to Wang Shaokai and said, "Be careful, don't forget what I told you."

  Wang Shaokuo's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he nodded.

  And then to the man who was slightly brought out by Shen, he said in a low voice: "Luo, their safety is left to you. I don't allow anything to happen to any of them. Do you understand?"

  Luo is Shen Lue's personal bodyguard, and unless absolutely necessary, Luo generally stays out of sight. He never thought that Shen Lue would let him protect anyone else besides her. He was very worried about her safety, but he didn't dare disobey Shen Lue's orders.

  She could only nod in response: "I know."

  Luo got on the car, Shen Lüe stood by the side of the road and saw off the car before taking out his mobile phone to make a call.

  "Is Shaokui okay?" Xiang Qiong asked worriedly.

  Wang Shaokuo shook his head: "I don't know what's wrong with her, it seems like something very serious has happened." As he spoke, he looked at Luo through the rearview mirror and asked: "Do you understand?"

  Luó heard Wang Shǎo Kē's words and shook his head, replying: "My sister said that the less you know, the longer you live. So I never ask about my sister's affairs, and she won't say anything either."

  Three people: "......"

  "Don't say it, maybe it's for your protection, you have to believe her." Si Luochen understood Shen Lue's meaning and comforted Wang Shaokuo.

  Who is lighter and who is heavier, Wang Shaokuo naturally knows. Although he is very worried about Shen Lue, he also knows her ability and will protect herself well.

  "I know, I'll deal with Qian Tong's matter first, then I'll look for her." It was unclear who this remark was addressed to.

  Shen Yue stood by the side of the road for about half an hour when a black sedan appeared in the distance, slowly driving towards him.

  "Miss, boss asked me to pick you up." The driver, dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, said respectfully.

  Shen Yue said nothing and got into the car, where another man was sitting, smiling at her and nodding: "Long time no see, Yue Jie."

  "Is he awake?" Shen Yue asked with an icy expression.

  Regarding Shen Lue's indifference, the man seemed accustomed to it and nodded in response: "The boss is awake."

  "When was it? Where is it now?" Shen Yue asked.

  "As soon as I woke up, I found you right away. The boss said he misses you a lot. He's currently in a villa in New York." The man said with a smile on his face.

  Shen Yue sat there with no expression, like an ice sculpture.

  A few people came to Shen Lue's home, which was a house with an extremely ordinary exterior and a very delicate interior.

  "It can't be seen, Miss Shen's taste is very good." For this woman, Shen Lue, Si Luochen appreciated more and more.

  Have that psychiatrist put in a secluded room and have Luo keep an eye on him.

  After a busy morning, Wang Shaokuo and Xiang Qiantong didn't rest for long before starting to prepare lunch.

  The three people at the dinner table were very quiet, with Qian Tong eating the fastest and leaving immediately after finishing. She was worried about Gu Qing, who had been in low spirits since returning from that side, and had been unstable all along.

  After finishing eating, Si Luochen packed up the things and prepared to send them upstairs to Gu Qing. Wang Shaokuo also wanted to understand the situation, so he followed him upstairs together.

  At the moment she pushed open the door, Gu Jing had just woken up and was recklessly hugging Xiang Qian Tong.

  Xià Luò Chén stood quietly holding his rice bowl, standing off to the side.

  Wang Shaokuo felt somewhat embarrassed.

  "Tong, where is this place? Why am I here? It seems like I saw Yan, has she been here before?" At this moment, she was very weak and seemed to have forgotten that she had a split personality.

  All of these are mental paralysis caused by psychotropic drugs. As a psychological doctor, Si Luo Chen naturally knew that patients at this time need to be taken good care of.

  "It's safe here, don't worry...". Qian Tong patiently comforted and helped Gu Jing onto the bed edge, continuing to ask: "Xie Yan has been here, she wants you to rest well. I think you must be hungry, do you want to eat something?"

  Turning around and taking over the thing in Luochen's hand, he smiled and said: "Thanks for your hard work, Luochen."

  Cai Luo Chen slightly shook his head, indicating it was nothing.

  Qian Tong looked at the things on her plate, a bowl of clear porridge with some green vegetables on top and a cup of very light coffee.

  Put the dinner plate aside and handed the porridge to Gu Qingdao: "Drink the porridge first."

  "Qian Tong, this cup of coffee is very weak. Do you want to drink a little to refresh yourself?" Si Luo Chen asked after seeing that Qian Tong was ignoring the cup of coffee.

  "Tong, can't drink coffee." Gu Qing took a sip of porridge and said lightly: "I also can't drink."

  Wang Shaokuo stood silently, expressionless, in his original position.

  Cai Chuan's eyes swept over the three people in front of him, his expression unreadable.

  "No, I'm not tired. Let Shaoye drink the coffee instead, she's been driving for a long time and must be exhausted." Xiang Qiantong said with a smile.

  After hearing the sound, Wang Shaokuo smiled and said: "I just wanted to drink it, but I was afraid that Luochen wouldn't let me." Just as he was about to pick up the coffee, Si Luochen took a step ahead and grasped it in his hand, saying coldly: "I'm also very tired, if you want to drink, go brew it yourself."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"
