29: Chapter 29 I Want Her to Serve Me (29)
“It won’t do, we’re leaving the country in three days, and I need to bring the passports tonight, so the company can help us book the flights.”
Gan Yuan continued to make excuses, “But, Mommy still has to work, how can we just leave the country like that?”
“You don’t have to worry about that, Uncle Huangfu said he’s got it covered.
He mentioned he’s very familiar with your Mr.
Damnit, was he trying to block all her possible escape routes?
She knew very well that it was a case of mistaken identity, yet he persisted.
What exactly was his game?
She was still pondering this when the little one had already hoisted his backpack.
“So we’re going home now?
Otherwise, it’ll be too late later!”
“Alright!” Gan Yuan snatched up the keys from the table, “Then…
Mommy will come with you and see what this Uncle Huangfu really wants to talk to me about!”
If there’s no avoiding it, then face it head-on.
She was curious to see how he intended to play his game!
Mother and son went downstairs and got into the car.
On the way, Gan Yuan seemed to be focusing on driving, but internally she was covertly devising a strategy.
When they returned to the two-bedroom they rented, she opened the door and then slapped her forehead.
“Right, speaking of which, where did I put the passports?”
Pretending not to find the passports could at least delay the departure.
“In the bottom layer cowhide pouch of Mommy’s safe.”
Gan Yuan helplessly gave her son, who she always took pride in, a sidelong glance.
Was this little rascal sent to “sabotage his mom”?
She feigned confusion on purpose.
The little guy ran into the inner room with his backpack, and by the time she had finished changing her shoes, he had already fetched a kraft paper bag.
She didn’t need to look to know that inside were their passports and Gan Tang’s birth certificate.
How could she possibly have genuinely lost such important documents?
“Mommy must be getting old, the memory is clearly fading,” she mocked herself.
“Go change your clothes and get ready, Mommy’s going to take a shower.”
Her underwear, soaked earlier, hadn’t been changed and was uncomfortable sticking to her skin.
Plus, her fragrant uniform was becoming a bit unbearable.
The most pressing matter at the moment, of course, was to take a shower.
The little guy headed into his room with the backpack, while Gan Yuan went to the bathroom in her bedroom, letting down her hair and stepping under the shower after stripping off her clothes.
Hot water washed away the fatigue from her body, steaming up the bathroom, and once again Huangfu Jue’s face flashed before her eyes.
The man’s voice echoed in her ears once more, “Was it you that night, six years ago?”
Though she had thought he would have forgotten all about that night six years ago, it turned out he still remembered.
She wiped the water off her face and, along with it, his image from her mind, then she grabbed the shampoo to cleanse her hair and reached for the body wash.
Her hands swept the foam over her shoulders, and as her fingers brushed over the rough skin, she stopped her movements and wiped away the steam on the bathroom mirror.
In the reflection, her back was clearly visible, smooth and beautiful, except for a noticeable scar on her right shoulder, like a flaw on an otherwise perfect painting.
The scar was old, about the size of a one-yuan coin in the center, with several smaller traces around it.
Though it had been years, it still looked quite shocking, and it wasn’t hard to imagine the injury from back then must have been severe.
The water gradually washed away the foam from her body, flowing down the attractive groove of her back to the area near her tailbone, where a lurid red spider lily tattoo stood out, red as blood.
Her gaze swept over that splash of red, and Gan Yuan frowned, turning off the shower and wrapping herself in a bath towel.
Whether it was the scar or the tattoo, she concealed them all beneath the towel.
