Chapter 71 Taking a shower without closing the door, does she really trust him that much?
Lanting Apartments is well-known in the wealthy circles of Dongzhou City because of its notoriously tight security, comparable to that of Zhongnanhai.
Two years ago, Xie Xingyun heard that security was tight here, so he thought about buying a house here as his love nest with Li Xi.
The major buyer of Kelanting Apartments rejected him directly via email, citing the following reason:
I don't want to rent it out; I don't need the extra money.
Xie Xingyun was furious at the time and complained about it to his friends. In the end, it was his friend Zhou Yaoguang's words that helped him calm down.
Zhou Yaoguang said—
The land where Lanting Apartments is located was a dowry property given by the Gu family of Kyoto to their daughter.
The major buyer behind Lanting Apartments is likely a member of the Kyoto Gu family.
The Gu family of Dongzhou is an undisputed tycoon in the business world, while the Gu family of Kyoto is a renowned tycoon in the military. Decades ago, the Gu family of Kyoto married their daughter to the Gu family of Dongzhou.
From then on, the two families formed a marriage alliance, strengthening each other's power.
Jiao Yue had been in love with Gu Huaizhou for over ten years; he was the fruit of love between two members of the Gu family.
He is not only the foremost noble young master of the Eastern Continent, but also the Crown Prince of the capital.
Gu Zhen...
Thinking back to the inside information Zhou Yaoguang had shared, Xie Xingyun's gaze towards Gu Zhen became subtly wary.
Xie Xingyun lowered his hand from the door, his posture somewhat tense, and tentatively asked Gu Zhen, "Professor Gu isn't from Dongzhou, is he?"
According to social etiquette, Gu Zhen should answer yes or no.
But Gu Zhen replied, "None of your business."
"Mr. Xie, you've been CEO for so long, you're used to managing employees, do you really think you can control everyone?"
Listen to that, how familiar those words sound.
Isn't this exactly what Xie Xingyun said just a few minutes ago?
Gu Zhen returned the document to Xie Xingyu without changing a single word.
"Pfft!" Jiang Xinghe laughed so hard his shoulders shook.
He quickly pushed Xie Xingyun out and took the takeout lunchbox from Gu Zhen's hand. "Thanks, Brother Zhen."
"Li Xi is paying tonight, just thank her."
"Okay!"
Jiang Xing leaned against the door and said to Gu Zhen, "Brother Zhen, Mr. Xie came to ask me for Li Xi's address."
Jiang Xinghe waved to Xie Xingyun again: "Mr. Xie, I heard that your mother just had an abortion for your sworn brother. You should hurry back and take care of your mother during her postpartum period!"
After saying that, Jiang Xinghe slammed the door shut.
Xie Xingyun's face was gloomy, and he wished he could tear Jiang Xinghe's dog mouth to shreds.
You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!
"You're looking for Li Xi?" After figuring out Xie Xingyun's purpose for coming here, Gu Zhen was determined to kill Xie Xingyun.
"Xie Xingyun, have you forgotten my previous warning to you?"
Xie Xingyun had realized that the man surnamed Gu in front of him might be more than just an ordinary medical professor.
"The one surnamed Gu."
"I don't care if you're the Gu from the Gu family in Kyoto, or some other Gu family. If you dare to make a move on Li Xi, I won't let you get away with it."
Gu Zhen sneered, then calmly said, "We've been living together for a while now, and we'll be getting married soon. I've made up my mind about her."
"Go ahead and make me miserable."
After saying that, Gu Zhen pressed the elevator button.
The elevator was still stopped on their floor.
He went straight in and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
Xie Xingyun followed them in and, seeing the 22nd floor, instinctively asked, "Does Li Xi live on the 22nd floor?"
Gu Zhen ignored him.
Ding.
The elevator reached the 22nd floor, and Gu Zhen stepped out and strode towards room 2201.
Xie Xingyun watched Li Xi grow up and was also Li Xi's first love.
He couldn't believe that the little girl who had cried her eyes out just a few months ago and questioned him about why he had abandoned her after starting something, would leave the Xie family and start living with a man of unknown origin.
Xie Xingyun took off after him.
He stood beside Gu Zhen, and seeing that Gu Zhen didn't enter the door code, he felt a surge of pleasure. "Aren't you living together? Don't you know the password to Li Xi's house?"
Gu Zhen looked at Xie Xingyun as if he were mentally challenged.
"If a pervert stood next to you spying on your combination lock, would you press the key?"
Xie Xingyun: "..."
With a sinister look on his handsome face, he turned and walked to a spot two meters away to prove his innocence.
He wanted to see how this guy surnamed Gu was going to put on an act!
beep beep beep...
The keypad door rang seven or eight times.
Then a female mechanical voice sounded: "Password entered correctly. Welcome home, master."
Click!
Xie Xingyun looked over in shock and saw that Gu Zhen had already opened the door to Li Xi's house and gone inside.
Are they really living together?
Do not!
wrong!
The person living inside may not necessarily be Li Xi!
Maybe this is Gu Zhen's home!
Isn't he the buyer of this building?
Perhaps Gu Zhen just opened a door randomly, deliberately deceiving him!
"I want to see who lives in here!" Xie Xingyun rushed forward, forcefully pulling at the iron door and blocking half of his body against the door frame to prevent Gu Zhen from closing it.
Gu Zhen stood in the entryway, staring at Xie Xingyun with eyes that seemed to see nothing but death.
Xie Xingyun steeled himself and stood in the middle of the door frame, looking down into the entryway—
Then he saw the high-heeled boots that Li Xi had just taken off by the shoe cabinet in the entryway, Li Xi's backpack on the cabinet, and the anime-themed figurines that Li Xi liked...
He stood on tiptoe and peered behind Gu Zhen, just in time to hear the sound of slippers shuffling along...
Gu Zhen also turned around.
Li Xi was wearing sandals, her snow-white, wet body covered only by a bath towel, her long hair held back with a hair clip, and her exposed skin dripping water continuously...
The sight of a beautiful woman emerging from her bath, half-concealed and half-revealed, was so strikingly sexy that it simultaneously aroused both men.
"roll!"
Gu Zhen suddenly delivered a side kick, sending Xie Xingyun, who was over 1.8 meters tall, flying.
boom!
Gu Zhen closed the door tightly.
He stood in the entrance hallway behind the main gate, with his back to Li Xi.
But Li Xi, still damp from the rain, came up behind him, very close, her voice drifting into Gu Zhen's ears through the dampness: "Was that Xie Xingyun who just flew out?"
Gu Zhen took a deep breath.
He gripped the doorknob tightly and explained in a low voice, "He came to Jiang Xinghe to ask about your address. To make him give up, I had no choice but to come to you."
"You're so smart, Professor Gu." Li Xi genuinely thought Gu Zhen's reaction tonight was perfect.
Gu Zhen closed his eyes.
He clearly felt his body instantly become full of energy after hearing Li Xi's praise.
"...Xixi."
Gu Zhen's voice was suppressed with barely suppressed emotion and pain, "You...you shouldn't be so close to me."
Li Xi then realized that she was not wearing clothes and had a large area of skin exposed.
For a single, fit young woman, her attire is indeed tempting to commit a crime.
"I'll go back right now..."
After thinking for a moment, Li Xi said, "I'm going to continue taking a shower."
After she finished speaking, she left Gu Zhen and went back to the bathroom to take a shower.
Gu Zhen didn't even hear her lock the bedroom door.
Does she really trust him that much?
