Gu Yan knew her temperament well and sighed silently. Her small nest couldn’t accommodate this great Buddha.
She didn’t dawdle any longer, and returned to the bedroom to grab the suitcase she had prepared in advance. The whole process took only a few dozen seconds.
Tang Yuxiu was somewhat satisfied with her foresight in packing beforehand and her current speed, so his expression slightly softened.
"Let’s go." Tang Yuxiu uttered a word indifferently, turned around, and took the lead in leaving.
In this place where even the air was filled with dust and a musty smell, staying a second longer was uncomfortable.
Gu Yan turned off the light, dragged the suitcase out, and locked the door.
You Shuyang politely offered, "Miss Gu, let me take it."
"No need, no need, it’s not heavy at all. I can handle it, so no trouble for you."
You Shuyang smiled, "It’s not about the weight of the suitcase, but as a man, how could I let a girl carry the luggage?"
Moreover, she was his boss’s woman.
"This..." Gu Yan hadn’t really thought about it from that perspective.
Ever since she was young, no matter how heavy things were, she carried them alone because there was no one to help her.
She thus realized that everything must be done by yourself, and if you didn’t do it well, no one would help you correct it.
"Let her carry it if she wants. Just leave this place quickly."
Tang Yuxiu’s voice came from the hallway, Gu Yan pursed her lips, smiled at You Shuyang, "It’s okay, you go ahead, I’ll catch up."
"Alright then." You Shuyang nodded, walking ahead of Gu Yan.
It was already completely dark, the dim lights of the neighborhood lit up, the roads were empty, but many people were still peeking from their balconies or windows, watching the three of them.
The two men in front walked leisurely and relaxedly, while the woman behind struggled to keep up with her heavy suitcase in tow.
Some thought these men were ungentlemanly, not even offering to help with the suitcase.
Others thought the woman might be the men’s employee or servant, and it’s normal for her to carry the suitcase.
Of course, they’d never know what others thought.
You Shuyang opened the car door for Tang Yuxiu, Gu Yan pulled open the back seat herself and got in, then he placed Gu Yan’s suitcase in the trunk before returning to the driver’s seat.
The vehicle started, the lights outside the window flickered past, she was getting farther and farther away from the neighborhood.
"Tang Yuxiu, are we going to live together from now on?" she asked softly, her eyes quietly looking out the window.
Tang Yuxiu glanced at her indifferently, "I believe that’s the basic idea."
If outsiders knew his woman lived in such a low-class neighborhood, where would his pride be?
"Oh." She responded and then didn’t speak again.
In Tang Yuxiu’s impression, Gu Yan was mostly fierce, sharp-tongued, and restless, so seeing her suddenly so quiet was unnerving.
He slightly turned his head, at this moment, Gu Yan was enveloped in a layer of silence, which was rare.
The car smoothly drove along the highway. There were still many vehicles at this time, and once they left the area of Gu Yan’s neighborhood, they occasionally stopped.
Gu Yan had stayed up all day and night, planning to catch up on sleep upon returning, but was interrupted by Tang Yuxiu. Now, with the gentle swaying, drowsiness overtook her again.
The unique cold fragrance of Tang Yuxiu tickled her nose, his car even carried the same distinctive scent.
She tried to stay awake for a while, hoping to hold out until they reached the apartment, but eventually, she succumbed to sleep, her head tilting as she dozed off groggily.
