He showed no emotion, not even in his eyes .
His demeanor made Liang Doukou nervous, as if he knew she had a body double . He looked as though he could see deep inside of her .
She unconsciously gripped her chopsticks tighter while looking back at Gu Yusheng .
Zhou Jing had told her not to get too close to Gu Yusheng to keep him from noticing anything . Recalling this, Liang Doukou looked at the rice bowl in front of her with one bite of rice left . She calmly raised her chopsticks to add more stir fry to her bowl . She softly explained, “I’ll have some breaks during production, and I’ll come back to Beijing . ”
Gu Yusheng remained quiet while looking at her face . Although his expression was not mean or cold, Liang Doukou felt a chill crawling up her spine .
She finished her food and then put her chopsticks down . She pulled a tissue from a tissue box next to her and elegantly wiped her mouth before saying, “I’m done . I’m going upstairs now . ”
“Mrs . , soup is ready . Would you like some?” The housekeeper walked out of the kitchen with a clay pot in her hands .
Liang Doukou put down the tissue and grabbed her cell phone before smiling at the housekeeper . “No, thank you . My martial arts teacher trained me hard today . I need a shower after that workout . Maybe I’ll feel better later . ”
“Well, you can have some soup later if you want . ” The housekeeper put down the pot, ladled soup into a china bowl, and placed it in front of Gu Yusheng .
As careful as she was, the china bowl still clicked when it touched the granite table .
Gu Yusheng blinked and moved his eyes from Liang Doukou’s face to the barely touched food on the table .
He suddenly said to the housekeeper, who was walking back to the kitchen, “Do we have mangoes?”
“Yes . The gardener just sent some over this morning,” she replied .
“Can you make some mango tapioca?” The housekeeper stopped at the refrigerator to get the ingredients and continued to the kitchen .
Gu Yusheng looked back at Liang Doukou . “Have some dessert . ”
Liang Doukou nodded and said softly, “Okay . ”
Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou remained silent in the dining room while some commercials played on the TV on the wall .
The housekeeper quickly prepared the tapioca and brought it to the table along with two bowls . She placed one bowl in front of Liang Doukou and the other in front of Gu Yusheng, who picked up a spoon and stirred it . Without taking a bite, he lifted his chin and softly said “mmm” to entice her to have some .
Without saying anything, Liang Doukou picked up a piece of mango with a spoon and put it into her mouth .
She slowly chewed a few times before swallowing it . Having enjoyed the first bite, she picked up another piece .
As she did, Gu Yusheng looked away from her and held his spoon so tightly that the veins on his hand became visible . When he spoke, however, he sounded calm . “Where is she?”
