The more Qiao Nian thought about it, the more she felt that he was a pervert.
Humiliated tears welled up in her eyes and she glared daggers at Gu Zhou, unblinking.
Gu Zhou, meanwhile, was laser-focused on what was happening outside the room.
“Madam, maybe we should leave!”
Judging from the voice, it was Butler Zhao who had spoken.
“Stop that nonsense.
Let me listen carefully.
Has the deed been done?”
This voice belonged to Matriarch Gu.
Slowly, Qiao Nian began to stop struggling.
So Gu Zhou was putting on an act.
She looked at Gu Zhou carefully and saw that his eyes were clear and emotionless.
She realized that she had been over-thinking.
After a while, Qiao Nian heard the sound of footsteps leaving.
When Gu Zhou removed his hand from her mouth, she let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Zhou tugged at his tie and glanced at Qiao Nian coldly, asking, “Did you tell tales?”
The man’s hoarse voice held a trace of sexiness.
There was a hint of ridicule in his words, and it was hard to tell if he was questioning or mocking her.
Qiao Nian gave Gu Zhou an expressionless glance-over.
She said casually, “I’m not so free.
If you don’t have any evidence, don’t spout nonsense.”
With that, Qiao Nian picked up her book and walked towards the door.
Hearing Qiao Nian’s words, Gu Zhou’s brow furrowed slightly.
He said, “Sleep here tonight.”
Qiao Nian stood dumbfounded for a moment.
She recalled the servant saying that Gu Zhou didn’t like other people entering his room.
Could it be that Gu Zhou was planning to sleep somewhere else himself?
Qiao Nian thought she understood.
She was about to get into bed when she saw Gu Zhou walking over.
“Second Young Master, if nothing else is the matter, you should rest early!” Qiao Nian said as she glanced toward the door.
It was obvious that she was inviting him to leave.
Gu Zhou calmly loosened his tie and lowered his gaze.
Qiao Nian couldn’t see the look in his eyes, but she could sense his displeasure.
Glancing at the bed, Qiao Nian instantly understood.
Gu Zhou must have wanted to sleep in his own bed.
She said, “Why don’t I get the servants to move your bed to another room?”
Before Gu Zhou could reply, Qiao Nian added, “I haven’t touched your bed, so you don’t have to worry!”
Gu Zhou was silent for a moment, his eyes darkening.
The expression on his face was intriguing.
After a bit, he said, “There’s nothing to worry about.”
In other words, he didn’t mind if she touched his bed.
Qiao Nian was stunned for a brief moment before she came back to her senses.
