SFBF CH47

Shen Qing returned to the bedroom first.

The curtains were still wide open. Truly worthy of being the master bedroom of the entire villa—with nearly 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the starlight and city lights outside at a glance.

During the day, the bright sunlight was enough to lift one’s spirits.

At night, Shen Qing was even more captivated by the beauty outside.

But thinking of the things the big boss said he’d prepared, Shen Qing still turned on the main lights.

Gu Huaiyu’s bedroom was very minimalist. While the furniture and decorations clearly had style at first glance, everything was standard configuration without any unnecessary clutter.

And because the space itself was large, it appeared quite empty.

After turning on the lights, Shen Qing scanned the area but didn’t see anything particularly special.

Gu Huaiyu had only told him to come find it, without saying what it was, which increased the difficulty of his search.

Could it be in the wardrobe?

Shen Qing casually pulled open a cabinet door beside him and was surprised to find it completely empty—not only were there none of the things Gu Huaiyu had prepared for him, there was nothing at all!

Curiously, he opened another cabinet door. Inside, besides two folded bath towels, there was still nothing.

…To put it bluntly, besides the tea table Gu Huaiyu had used, there wasn’t a single trace of human habitation here.

So the big boss really had been living in the hospital all this time?

Shen Qing walked into the inner room.

Upon entering and looking to the left, he saw some of President Gu’s clothes hanging in the walk-in closet.

Shen Qing stepped directly into the closet.

Previously, Shen Qing had only come here without walking further inside. Now he discovered that this walk-in closet was actually a suite!

?

Not to mention, this “master bedroom” could definitely be transformed into an escape room.

At the very least, it was absolutely sufficient for playing hide-and-seek with the cubs here.

…

Thinking about it actually made him a bit tempted.

Shen Qing forced himself to pull back his attention and continued examining the closet.

Only a small portion of the outer suite’s wardrobe was being used, hanging pajamas, relatively casual home clothes, and even hospital gowns from某某 Hospital…

Fine, all the big boss’s clothes.

The other half was empty. Shen Qing wasn’t sure if Gu Huaiyu had deliberately cleared space for him.

But given that the big boss was such a thoughtful person who loved thinking things through, it was normal and reasonable that he would specially clear out some space for Shen Qing’s use.

Though Shen Qing didn’t plan to use it in the short term.

He definitely wouldn’t move up the original owner’s clothes from his own wardrobe.

Anyway, he would never wear them in this lifetime!

Uh, speaking of which, after he’d had enough fun and sleep and satisfied his shut-in tendencies, he should go shopping for some clothes when he had time.

The original owner had many clothes, but they were either formal gowns for celebrity appearances or daily wear that Shen Qing couldn’t understand—like coats in exaggerated colors, shirts with busy patterns, and jeans that weren’t warm at all…

Not Shen Qing’s style.

Even for pajamas, there were only two two-piece sets that barely fit Shen Qing’s aesthetic—the two sets he was currently rotating between.

The rest were mostly robes, silk boxers, lace underwear…

Fine, actually, Shen Qing had never had much courage to open the original owner’s wardrobe.

He didn’t really know what else was in there either.

Still finding nothing in the outer room, Shen Qing walked into the inner room of the closet.

The moment he turned on the innermost lights, the first thing Shen Qing saw were clothes hanging covered in dust bags. From the labels on the bags, these appeared to be suits—at least fifty sets, more than in a men’s clothing store!

Besides suits, there were formal shirts and such, all outerwear, but without exception, they were all covered up.

And Shen Qing had never seen Gu Huaiyu wear these.

The dust bags were spotless, looking like someone maintained them regularly.

But he estimated that the big boss hadn’t favored them in the two years since his illness worsened, which was why they were stored away like this.

Shen Qing felt a bit wistful, but in the next second, his attention was caught by two rows of cabinets placed in the middle and against the wall.

…The middle row of cabinets—one didn’t even need to approach to sense the sparkling emanating from inside.

Looking through the glass tops, one side was full of watches, while the other side held men’s brooches, pocket watches, and such made of various jewels and jade.

There were also some boxes that weren’t opened, not knowing what other treasures lay inside.

…Damn, he’d said the big boss’s room was a museum.

A knowledgeable person would probably die from envy and excitement! …Fortunately, he wasn’t knowledgeable.

Compared to the treasures inside the cabinets, what Shen Qing paid most attention to was… on the row of cabinets against the wall, there sat Peppa Pig.

A pink little pig, chubby, looking up at him with a silly happy expression.

Shen Qing: ?!

Wasn’t this the piggy bank he’d given the big boss?

He hadn’t seen it in President Gu’s office before, so he thought the boss had thrown it away long ago!

He hadn’t expected it to be hidden here!

What was even more shocking was that from a distance, Shen Qing felt this Peppa looked somewhat different from when he’d given it… There was a note stuck on Peppa’s chest.

From afar, it looked like the little pig was wearing a small piece of clothing…

This Gu Huaiyu, he actually had a childish side?

But although the distance was far, Shen Qing’s eyesight wasn’t bad.

When he looked carefully, he could still see two characters written in a bold, flying script on that note—

Shen Qing.

…

Yes, exactly his name.

What the?!

Big boss, is this polite of you?

Actually implying I’m a pig??

Shen Qing was instantly furious!

But in the next instant, he felt he must have seen wrong.

The big boss definitely wasn’t that bored a person!

But he’d seen Gu Huaiyu’s handwriting when signing documents—his first impression was that the boss’s strokes were sharp and fierce.

An overbearing style that ordinary people couldn’t imitate.

…So these two characters really didn’t look like they were written by anyone else.

Shen Qing couldn’t believe it and hurriedly approached for a closer look.

Then he discovered he had indeed misunderstood—though it had “Shen Qing” written in large characters, there was something in the upper left corner—”To:”.

【To: Shen Qing】

Two English letters and one symbol directly reversed the implication that the boss was calling him a pig.

…So after all this, this was what Gu Huaiyu had prepared for him…

?

Why did it still feel like the boss was a bit childish?

Of course, besides this pig, Shen Qing also discovered a kraft paper bag under Peppa’s feet, which also had writing indicating it was for Shen Qing.

So the kraft paper bag was the main event.

Shen Qing had a vague feeling.

He directly picked up the piggy bank.

But out of some habit formed from saving money as a child, Shen Qing first shook the piggy bank.

It felt like something was inside.

?

…Fine, the big boss definitely wasn’t a childish person. There must be something significant about him placing this here.

Thinking this, Shen Qing still turned the little pig upside down, then ruthlessly twisted open the plug at the bottom of its belly, and poured out…

Blank checks.

?

Shen Qing picked one up and looked. The payer’s information was already filled in—Gu Huaiyu—and it had all the necessary stamps for the payer.

As for the payee and amount, they were all blank.

…

Were these the legendary blank checks???

Shen Qing remembered when he gave Gu Huaiyu this piggy bank, he seemed to have said… the big boss could try using this piggy bank to save money.

And because the big boss didn’t need to save money at all, he joked that the big boss could put checks inside, and he would regularly help him spend them.

…

???

Did Gu Huaiyu remember everything he said as a joke??

…Remembering was one thing.

But big boss, did you have to be so serious!!!

Shen Qing’s hand holding the blank checks trembled a bit.

What these checks meant was self-evident.

—If he filled out just one casually, it would be enough to live on for a lifetime…

And this was cash! Cash!

Different from the previous real estate and jewelry!

With slightly trembling hands, he stuffed those checks back into the little pig’s belly.

Shen Qing felt he needed to calm down.

He turned his gaze to the kraft paper bag on the other side.

It turned out Gu Huaiyu really wasn’t someone who would make boring jokes.

So, needless to say, the things inside this bag must also be extremely valuable.

After opening the bag, Shen Qing discovered this was indeed the case.

…Wasn’t this the property deed for the villa they were currently living in!

And it had already been transferred—it now had his name on it, the property deed!

Although in the original novel, Gu Huaiyu eventually left this house to the original owner as well.

And although he already possessed hundreds of millions in real estate, Shen Qing didn’t really have much desire for this villa anymore… even though the market value of this villa was reportedly six to eight hundred million.

But remembering the bloody storm that had unfolded online over this house just a few days ago, Shen Qing still felt a sense of unreality.

—It seemed that at that time, right after Shen Qing subtly showed off his table and wall paintings at home, Gu Huaiyu had expressed that he could directly transfer the house to his name.

At the time, Shen Qing also thought the other party was just talking casually.

He hadn’t expected…

So now this house, this house that even his celebrity colleagues envied, was his?

It was his???

Looking at the property deed and Peppa Pig before him now, Shen Qing only had one feeling.

…It was like being a young disciple in a xianxia or wuxia novel who accidentally entered some treasure land and suddenly obtained supreme martial arts and heart techniques.

From the moment Shen Qing stepped into this inner room of the closet, what he felt was this effect.

Suddenly, a ding sounded—his phone in his pocket rang.

Shen Qing, who was somewhat dazed from being hit with happiness, subconsciously took out his phone and looked. Someone had sent him several consecutive WeChat messages.

【Qin Yihan: Qingqing, quick, look, is this true!】

Qin Yihan also worked in the entertainment industry, signed with Jingsheng Entertainment as well, but with average talent, still struggling in the 18th tier [bottom tier].

In the company, his relationship with the original owner was relatively good.

Because Qin Yihan was also gay, when the original owner had been heartbroken over Shen Yuan, Qin Yihan had taken him to gay bars twice.

Although they’d only been drinking and hadn’t done anything.

But the original owner was still grateful to Qin Yihan for helping him relieve that loneliness.

However, from Shen Qing’s perspective, Qin Yihan’s treatment of the original owner was just so-so—like everyone else, before the original owner married Gu Huaiyu, Qin Yihan had never looked up to the original owner.

He took the original owner to bars because he thought he could use the opportunity to get close to Shen Yuan.

But after discovering that the original owner only dared to secretly admire the young master of the Shen family and didn’t dare do anything else, and couldn’t do anything else, Qin Yihan gave up and basically stopped contacting the original owner in the later period.

It was only after hearing that “Shen Qing” had actually married into the Gu family that Qin Yihan’s frequency of contacting the original owner increased.

Even in recent months, between the lines of his speech was the implication that they were good friends.

Shen Qing urgently needed to look at something to divert his attention and calm his emotions right now, so he couldn’t help but click on the screenshots he sent to look.

The screenshot content was a Weibo post: 【People who ship CPs [couples] are all sick, right? Liu Xilin and Shen Qing are in complete competition, and the disgusting things Liu did, does anyone still not know?】

Qin Yihan had also screenshot the comments below—

[“Back when Liu Xilin went to take photos at the big boss’s house, he was going for the big boss, not Shen Qing, okay”]

[“Heard that Shen Qing’s relationship with his husband is just so-so emmm, so it gave others an opportunity. Liu posting photos, emphasizing it was a friend’s house, wasn’t just showing off wealth, it was for the capital [investors/producers] to see, really scheming.”]

[“What does this mean? Didn’t understand. What does Liu Xilin want to do?”]

[“Making capital misunderstand that he has a good relationship with the big boss. Shen Qing’s husband even made Milk TV apologize to him.”]

[“What the hell, yue [vomit], how is Liu so disgusting!”]

[“Inside information: The reason Shen Qing terminated his contract with his agency was because his agent was leading the way in pimping, bringing a bunch of people into Shen Qing’s house to ‘accidentally encounter’ the big boss.”]

【Qin Yihan: Is this true? Old Miao is really shameless! Bringing Liu Xilin and them to the villa you live in now to ‘accidentally encounter’ the big boss?】

【Qin Yihan: You have to be careful, really Qingqing, don’t be too naive!】

Shen Qing: …

Am I naive?

However, the reason Liu Xilin and them insisted on coming to his house to take photos and posting them was to make others mistakenly think they had a relationship with Gu Huaiyu? …

What kind of circuitous tactic was this? Was the entertainment industry all this good at playing games?

This was something Shen Qing really hadn’t expected.

Shen Qing scrolled through the screenshots above… and suddenly understood again.

So it turned out others thought his relationship with the big boss wasn’t good.

But how could it not be good? Gu Huaiyu had just given him this villa and a pile of blank checks… checks with President Gu’s personal signature.

Shen Qing felt that people outside were really overthinking.

Their family’s relationships were all very harmonious; there wasn’t any bad blood at all.

Besides, President Gu was fundamentally… not capable [sexually].

What use is there in seeking ‘accidental encounters’ with President Gu? Nothing would happen anyway.

Aren’t you all being too impure?

Sigh.

WeChat rang again—

【Qin Yihan: Really Qingqing, I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t let people go to the big boss’s house anymore. Be careful that others steal the big boss away!】

Shen Qing: …

He felt that this brother surnamed Qin really thought he was stupid.

So it wasn’t that everyone thought his relationship with Gu Huaiyu was bad—it was people like Qin Yihan, those around the original owner, who had been sowing discord all along?

They simply never believed that someone named “Shen Qing” could make any progress with President Gu.

They themselves felt that “Shen Qing” was unworthy.

Shen Qing lowered his eyes indifferently and typed a reply: 【You’ve misunderstood. Where I’m living now isn’t the ‘big boss’s house,’ it’s my house.】

After typing, he directly took a photo of the property deed and sent it to Qin Yihan.

Within three seconds.

WeChat rang again.

【Qin Yihan: ???】

Perhaps too shocked, or perhaps still editing his message, Qin Yihan had only sent three question marks so far.

Shen Qing looked at the chat content on his phone screen and felt slightly surprised.

He had actually received many WeChat messages with this kind of content—on the surface, they all claimed to be for his own good, giving him advice, but fundamentally they looked down on him. Between the lines was the meaning of “Because you’re unworthy, that’s why I’m reminding you to be careful and watch out…”

Typical PUA [manipulation].

The original owner probably understood these things too, but he had been in this passive-aggressive circle for too long, and had some自卑 [inferiority complex] himself. Being brainwashed like this constantly, he couldn’t break free… which was why he later became卑微 [humble/submissive], 陰鸷 [gloomy/malevolent], and somewhat变态 [abnormal/perverted].

But Shen Qing just looked at such messages, understood what was going on, and didn’t care at all, rarely replying.

Some, seeing him not reply, would stop messaging him. Only people like Qin Yihan, who thought they were close to him and that he relied on them, would keep shamelessly sending messages as an older brother and guide.

But if it were before, Shen Qing would still just look, sometimes not even looking.

The most extreme reaction would be when encountering those without boundaries, sending him several messages at once that distracted him from gaming—only then would he react by opening his phone and directly blocking them.

He wouldn’t care at all.

But this time, Shen Qing clearly felt very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

The feeling was probably “Obviously I’m living quite well, but you insist on thinking I’m not, and every day under the guise of caring about me, you mock my misfortune…”

Did they really think he couldn’t show off his love!

With the tip of his tongue lightly pressing against the inside of his mouth and drawing circles, Shen Qing’s eyes turned, and he typed again: 【Oh, I should say it’s the house shared by me and my husband. Although my husband has already given this house to me, this is our shared home. I’ll invite you to visit when I’m free.】

—As everyone knows, “when I’m free” in social circles often means never.

Send.

Then he set his phone to silent.

It was late at night. He was going to have a quiet and abundant night. He had no time to chat with that group of people. Haha.

After some time, Gu Huaiyu, who had finished handling his official business, returned to the bedroom.

Shen Qing was sitting on the edge of the large bed, looking somewhat dazed.

“What’s wrong?” Suddenly seeing the young man so quiet, Gu Huaiyu slightly lowered his head to look at the other person’s face.

The bed Shen Qing sat on was originally a bit low. Gu Huaiyu had a tall, slender figure. Even sitting in a wheelchair, his back was still straight. The positions of the two people now made it difficult for Gu Huaiyu to see the young man’s facial features and expression clearly.

“Nothing.” Hearing his voice, Shen Qing raised his head first and shook it.

Then he lifted his head, revealing an extremely delicate and proper face, with a smile that was extremely bright and radiant.

Shen Qing waved the property deed and Peppa Pig in his hand: “I just feel that you’re too good to me? A bit moved.”

“…”

The moment the young man raised his head, Gu Huaiyu’s eyelid twitched.

A moment later, he averted his gaze, his voice low: “…Then continue being moved.”

Shen Qing: “?”

Gu Huaiyu said: “I’m going to take a bath.”

Shen Qing: “? …No, wait!”

Shen Qing called out to him. He asked himself if he was already thick-skinned enough and clueless enough about romance.

But in comparison, the big boss was simply allergic to romance!

—He had deliberately waited here, already moved to tears and feeling complicated emotions, yet the other party was going to leave…

Immediately straightening his long legs and standing up, Shen Qing subconsciously grabbed the armrest of Gu Huaiyu’s wheelchair: “I haven’t finished talking to you yet!”

“Talk about what?”

Having not left yet before being pulled back, Gu Huaiyu wasn’t annoyed, but just turned back to look at the young man.

“…Just, why are you so good to me?”

Shen Qing had asked Gu Huaiyu this question before.

It was when the other party gave him jewelry.

At that time, the big boss’s answer was because he was too much of a salted fish [lazy], and if he didn’t give him more things, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to afford food in the future…

Knowing the big boss was very responsible and would take care of him as a marriage partner, Shen Qing had accepted the other party’s explanation.

But simply giving things was different from remembering every word he said to him and every word he said to him, and then giving things… anyway, the feeling was different, very different.

Especially since the big boss was clearly still not a romantic person.

Wasn’t he being too deliberate in doing this?

“It’s nothing.”

But Gu Huaiyu, hearing Shen Qing’s description, didn’t take it seriously—

“I didn’t specially remember. I just never forget what I hear.”

Shen Qing: “…”

The big boss was quite good at showing off.

Fine.

So you really are allergic to romance!!!

“And wasn’t putting blank checks inside what you requested?” Gu Huaiyu asked somewhat puzzled.

Shen Qing: “…”

Fine, sorry, it was his fault. He shouldn’t joke about everything. Carelessly he had become the little drama queen [troublemaker] of the big boss’s family again.

Shen Qing hugged the Peppa Pig piggy bank in his arms tightly, beginning to wonder if he actually had very romantic cells, or even was too damn romantic, easily adding fuel to the fire and overthinking everything!

He hung his head standing to the side in self-reflection, not noticing that Gu Huaiyu’s taut lips had long since curved upward.

“Is there anything else?” Gu Huaiyu’s voice didn’t change, still low and steady, his tone indifferent.

“Oh oh, there really is.” Shen Qing, hugging Peppa tightly: “Although Big Boss, you specially issued these checks to satisfy my request, I feel like just simply keeping them here doesn’t seem safe.”

“How is it unsafe?”

“They’re blank after all! Whoever fills them in gets them!”

Gu Huaiyu turned his head to look at Shen Qing: “Just fill in your name on all of them.”

Shen Qing: “…”

This operation, he hadn’t thought of…

It seemed that once he signed his name, it couldn’t be altered, and it would be his. To withdraw money, he’d have to go to the bank with his ID himself.

Others couldn’t steal them.

“But can I really write whatever I want?” This was Shen Qing’s first time doing this, and he felt a bit guilty, not daring to actually sign: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll empty you out?”

Gu Huaiyu paused slightly after hearing this, his eyes flickering, and only spoke after a moment: “…Do you always use such phrasing?”

“What?” Shen Qing didn’t understand.

Gu Huaiyu’s eyes darkened: “Write whatever you want. You can try to see if you can empty me out.”

Shen Qing: “…”

Fine, he suddenly understood what President Gu meant by that question just now.

The matter of writing his name wasn’t urgent. But since the big boss had said so, Shen Qing wouldn’t be polite.

He put away those checks, then held the little pig with both hands and handed it back to the big boss.

“What are you doing?” Gu Huaiyu subconsciously took it: “What do you want this time?”

“Ah no no, I don’t want anything anymore.”

Shen Qing didn’t dare to make similar jokes anymore. He said: “Just returning it to you.”

“Returning it to me?”

“Yes, this is a gift I gave you. How could I have the nerve to take it back?”

Gu Huaiyu: “…”

Lowering his head to look at the little pig in his hand, the pink hairdryer-shaped piggy bank was still showing him a brilliant smile.

…

Staring for three seconds, Gu Huaiyu handed the little pig back out: “Wherever you took it from, put it back there.”

“?”

Taking the little pig, Shen Qing remembered he had just picked it up from the inner room of the walk-in closet…

“The innermost part of the walk-in closet? …You mean it will be placed there from now on?”

“So what.” Gu Huaiyu asked back: “Are you afraid it will get lost?”

“No…”

Shen Qing wanted to say that this little pig’s style didn’t match that room full of treasures! …

Probably any random watch, gemstone, or suit in there was enough to buy a factory that produces these little pigs…

Forget it.

If the big boss said to put it there, then put it there.

Shen Qing obediently re-entered the walk-in closet and stood the pink pig up properly.

Gu Huaiyu also followed over, but stopped at the outermost part of the walk-in closet, saying to him from across the space: “Position it straight, don’t put it crooked.”

Shen Qing: “Okay.”

Gu Huaiyu said again: “It’s getting late, you should prepare for bed too.”

Shen Qing: “Okay.”

Gu Huaiyu: “The bedding is all freshly changed, you can use it with confidence. My room is at the innermost part. You open the door between the walk-in closet and the bathroom…”

“Ah no no no.” Shen Qing suddenly ran out, poking his head out again.

His delicate chin resting half on the doorframe, the young man’s almond-shaped eyes curved, revealing very obvious eye bags [aegyo sal]: “I think it’s better for the two of us to sleep together.”

Gu Huaiyu: “?”

Shen Qing: “This way it’s more convenient for me to take care of you!”

“…” A strange expression flashed across Gu Huaiyu’s face.

“I don’t need your care.”

“But I want to take care of you!”

Shen Qing simply walked out directly: “…Otherwise, externally we can say it’s you taking care of me.”

Gu Huaiyu: “…”

Facing the young man full of bewilderment and scrutiny, Gu Huaiyu watched as Shen Qing walked toward him step by step, directly coming in front of him.

Actually, Shen Qing had just gone to look at the big boss’s sickroom… It was the room reached by opening the door between the walk-in closet and the bathroom, returning to the corridor, and walking down.

It really was a sickroom.

And just as Shen Qing had initially imagined, it was pale and cramped inside. The area wasn’t large, but it was filled with medical equipment. There was a hospital single bed in the middle, with only one small window.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.

It looked like a place for human experimentation.

In such a place, a normal person wouldn’t dare to sleep even if they lay down!

What kind of life had the big boss been living before?

Shen Qing: “…Actually I didn’t deliberately go look. Fine, I deliberately went to look.”

Gu Huaiyu: “…? …”

Shen Qing said: “I just feel that since your body is still okay, and you don’t need to be connected to those instruments, you shouldn’t go back.”

Gu Huaiyu: “…”

Shen Qing: “Sleeping there will make you depressed.”

“Is that so?” Gu Huaiyu’s voice lengthened, seriously recalling.

He didn’t feel depressed.

Perhaps it was because he had lived in such places for the past two years.

…Or perhaps, from a very young age, such places weren’t unfamiliar to him.

Instead, large, bright bedrooms where you could see large areas of light when you opened the curtains were what he was unaccustomed to.

Gu Huaiyu’s posture was straight, his sitting position proper.

Without saying much more, he just said with a stern face: “I don’t really care about living environments.”

“That’s why you’re the big boss.” Shen Qing said, slightly turning back.

He noticed that the two of them happened to appear in the full-length mirror beside them.

Gu Huaiyu’s face was pale but not lacking in handsomeness. Shen Qing looked at President Gu in the mirror and said: “But I think the environment is still very important. Staying in an environment that makes people feel happy isn’t it more conducive to cultivating one’s temperament, and work efficiency is higher too?”

Gu Huaiyu remained silent.

He wasn’t looking at the mirror, but at the shadows of the two people on the ground. He suddenly asked: “Do you really dare to sleep with me?”

“What’s there to dare or not dare?” Shen Qing immediately indicated there was no problem.

—Such a large bed, more than enough for two people to sleep. It was definitely better than the big boss going back to sleep in that sickroom.

Living there… honestly, Shen Qing didn’t think Gu Huaiyu would receive treatment there.

It was more like cursing himself to die quickly.

And in fact, President Gu’s actions were indeed like this.

—Poor health but often not eating, always overworking, sleeping in that kind of sickroom…

The master bedroom was empty and spacious. Clearly, the big boss hadn’t slept there for many days.

But according to Shen Qing’s observations during this period, Gu Huaiyu spent most of his time handling official business in the office, getting IV drips in the office. Most of the time, he wasn’t recuperating in a sickbed.

So that meant, those instruments in his sickroom weren’t currently needed.

Not needing to be hooked up to instruments, yet still sleeping in such a hellish [underworld-like] place…

It couldn’t be simply that he was just used to that bed, right?

Shen Qing still remembered last time when Old Mr. Gu came to the house, President Gu told him “Don’t worry, he’ll be dead soon enough.”

Clearly that was angry talk.

But the problem was, why did it feel like President Gu had taken it seriously? …

The key was that Gu Huaiyu was usually so good to him.

Shen Qing couldn’t figure out what the big boss was thinking anymore, but the only thing he could be sure of was that he couldn’t let the other party go back to such a hellish place.

Of course, Shen Qing wouldn’t go live there either.

…Anyway, the big boss was a patient, and also impotent, and couldn’t stand up, needing someone to take care of him.

He could help out if he was nearby.

He was pretty good at taking care of people. Shen Qing had nursed his grandparents before they passed away.

This way it could also be considered… feedback for the several hundred million that had recently come into his account.

There really was nothing to be coy or hesitant about.

If there was anything he didn’t dare, Shen Qing suddenly thought of one possibility: “If I sleep badly at night and accidentally hit you, you won’t be angry at me, right?”

Gu Huaiyu: “…No.”

Shen Qing smiled easily again: “Then there’s no problem. Haha.”

“Okay.”

After that, Gu Huaiyu looked at him, then withdrew his gaze, checked the time, and said: “I need to get up early for a meeting tomorrow morning. You…”

Shen Qing: “No problem! I sleep very deeply, you don’t need to worry about waking me up!”

He couldn’t cause trouble for the family’s economic pillar. This point Shen Qing understood.

Gu Huaiyu: “…What I wanted to say was, could you go out first? I need to change clothes and wash up.”

Shen Qing: “…”

Although, but, as expected, living alone is more comfortable!

Shen Qing “oh oh oh”-ed and retreated.

After retreating, he suddenly thought, can the big boss change clothes by himself? …

All along, in Shen Qing’s imagination, the big boss going to the bathroom, bathing, including changing clothes, should all require someone’s help.

But… very clearly, right now there was only himself in this room.

But President Gu didn’t say anything.

Shen Qing immediately turned back: “Big Boss, do you want me to help you change…?”

Shen Qing’s voice stopped abruptly.

He saw under the bright lights, Gu Huaiyu’s slender and straight figure…

It was truly·slender and straight.

Because at this moment, President Gu in front of the full-length mirror was standing…

…

?

!

Shen Qing: Shocked stiff.

Hearing his voice, Gu Huaiyu turned back slightly: “What?”

His face had its usual calm composure.

“You… You… So you can actually stand up?” The stunned Shen Qing widened his eyes.

“…”

Taking a deep breath, Gu Huaiyu: “I think I said before that I just need to use a wheelchair. But I’m not a high-level paraplegic [completely paralyzed].”

Support me on Ko-fi
