"Is it as you said, that Young Master has been coming back?" Old Master Gu didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point .
The housekeeper had been prepared to say yes, but Old Master Gu spoke again . "Even though you were hired by Young Master, I can chase you out of this house at any point in time . You better think carefully before you answer my question . "
The housekeeper became somewhat hesitant and thought for a moment . In the end, he answered, "Yes," but before he could complete the word, Old Master Gu turned around and looked into his eyes . The housekeeper felt his voice shaking and lowered his head . After a while, he spoke softly, "Although Mr . Gu doesn't manage to come home every day, occasionally—"
"I guess you want to be fired right away?" Old Master Gu interrupted him abruptly .
The housekeeper was so intimidated that he stayed quiet . After some time, he dangled his head and honestly said, "Mr . Gu came home once…"
Old Master Gu immediately pulled a long face upon hearing this .
"It was the first night you went to Hainan . "
The first night in Hainan? Almost a month earlier… Old Master Gu had a thundery expression . "In other words, Young Master hasn't been home at all for more than a month?"
"Yes…" The voice of the housekeeper was as soft as if he wasn't speaking .
Old Master Gu had fire brewing in his eyes . He couldn't be bothered with the housekeeper standing outside the car window . "Let's find him now!" he yelled at Nanny Zhang, who was sitting in the driver seat .

Since seeing Old Master Gu once again had stirred up her emotions, Qin Zhi'ai felt extremely worn out . When she returned to her room, she collapsed onto the bed and didn't want to move an inch anymore .
She didn't dare fall asleep, as she hadn't taken a bath yet . Unsure of how long she had given her eyes a rest, she felt her tiredness ease up a little . She went to the bathroom to fill up the bathtub with hot water . Just as the water was filled to the brim, Qin Zhi'ai realized she had forgotten about her pajamas, so she went into the room again .
The changing room was just opposite the bathroom . Qin Zhi'ai took a set of pajamas without looking and walked out . Just as she was two steps away from the bathroom, the door of the bedroom was suddenly kicked open with a loud and deafening thud .
Qin Zhi'ai was stunned by the sound of it, and her body shivered in fear . She turned around and saw the man who had left her at the roadside before . Gu Yusheng was standing at the door, glaring at her, his eyes red .
He didn't utter a word, but he drew his lips into a line . He did nothing except stare at her . His dominating pitch-black eyes flared up, compelling rage circling around him .
Qin Zhi'ai could hardly breathe with such an aura emitting from Gu Yusheng . She stood there with her legs rooted to the ground, only her side profile facing him .
The housekeeper, on the ground floor, hadn't slept a wink . Thinking that something might have happened to Qin Zhi'ai, he dashed up as soon as he heard the noise . "Miss…"
Gu Yusheng appeared before him as he reached the corner . He halted immediately, and asked with extreme caution, "Mr . Gu, you…"
His sentence wasn't finished, but Gu Yusheng, without looking at him, told him off in the most unfriendly tone . "Go back to your room, and stay there!"
