The morning light stirred her awake, and she found the spot beside her empty. Gu Qili sat up and rubbed her eyes, smoothing down her somewhat wrinkled pajamas with her hands.
The bathroom door was closed; it seemed like Mu Shuoqian was inside, and she could faintly hear the sound of running water.
She sat on the bed, dazed, when suddenly the bathroom door swung open.
A completely nude man walked out confidently, met her gaze, and nonchalantly grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist. He approached the bed without blushing or batting an eye,
Gu Qili’s mind was still stuck on the scene she just witnessed. It was too stimulating and sensual, leaving her unable to regain her composure for a moment.
It wasn’t the first time she had seen Mu Shuoqian , but didn’t he realize there was another person in the room aside from himself?
Gu Qili felt like there were a hundred thousand tons of atomic bombs exploding in her head.
Dude, even if you have a handsome face and a great body, you can’t just flaunt it so recklessly! Have you considered the feelings of the youth? Don’t you have the decency as a CEO?
"Why are you continuously staring at me?" He asked innocently with one sleeve on, "It’s very impolite to stare at people like that."

She turned her head away, her cheeks burning red. It was clearly him who shamelessly changed clothes in front of others, yet he had the nerve to criticize her.
"You go ahead and change, I’ll freshen up." Unable to reason with such a thick-skinned person, Gu Qili decided to escape to the bathroom.
By the time she finished her bath and came out, Mu Shuoqian was already ready to leave, dressed in a black shirt and trousers, making him look tall, slim, and exuding an icy demeanor.
"Hold on." Gu Qili rushed to the kitchen in a few strides, took a wrapped sandwich from the fridge, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket with a sense of ’I knew you’d skip breakfast again’.
Mu Shuoqian didn’t say anything and turned to leave, always decisive in his actions,
Gu Qili then planned to eat a sandwich herself,
She clearly remembered there weren’t any last night; could it be that Mu Shuoqian put it there this morning?
At this thought, she suddenly felt a bit gleeful. Was it meant for her?
She leaned in to smell it. The scent of roses was faint yet felt like an ethereal charm, making her feel relaxed all over.
She was delighted with that vase all morning.
In the afternoon, Mu Shuoqian called her to attend a meeting.
Gu Qili got ready and walked out of her room. Passing by the lobby, she spotted a familiar figure standing there, seemingly waiting for someone.
The person also spotted her the first moment, his splendid smile and the brilliant glint in his blue eyes greeting her: "Hi, Qili."
His familiarity made them seem like old friends who had known each other for a long time. However, this warmth was not unpleasant coming from him.
"Hello, Mr. Reynolds."
"Did you receive the roses I sent you?" His blue eyes twinkled twice as the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.
