Speaking of work, Gu Yan felt she should look for another job.
Even if she became the mistress of a rich man, she didn’t want to live off Tang Yuxiu for free.
Although the pay for working as a housemaid for Tang Yuxiu was indeed very generous, she no longer had the opportunity to do it.
Gu Yan searched along the hospital all the way, rarely seeing job advertisements, and even if there were any, they were already filled.
Gu Yan walked out from the last store, dejectedly, feeling like she’d entered the ranks of the unemployed again.
Following the way she remembered out, she slowly walked back to Lixin Villa District, such a big place, so valuable, it would be great to exchange some money for her.
However, when she returned to the entrance of Tang Yuxiu’s villa, Gu Yan sadly found out she didn’t have the key to the villa!
Today was really an unlucky day.
Not only did she fail to accomplish anything, but she was also locked outside.
Gu Yan decided to sit at the door; after all, Tang Yuxiu would be back in a few hours.
Leaning against the door, she unconsciously fell asleep.
Tang Yuxiu arrived home punctually at seven, driving himself, without You Shuyang.
You Shuyang should be miserably handling the huge pile of work Tang Yuxiu threw at him, looking distressed.
As expected, talk about the boss behind their back, never let them find out.
As soon as Tang Yuxiu got out of the car, he noticed someone sitting at the door of his house, hugging her backpack, her head resting on the doorframe, eyes closed in sleep — at first glance, like an abandoned pet.
The slanting sunset light lazily fell on Gu Yan’s small face, warm and charming.
Tang Yuxiu’s heart skipped a beat.
He slightly frowned and strode over, "Woman, wake up!"
Gu Yan groggily opened her eyes, still a bit dazed from waking up, "What is it?"
"What are you doing sitting at the door?" Tang Yuxiu didn’t look pleased.
Gu Yan took a while to come back to reality and replied, "I don’t have the key to get in; if I don’t sit here and wait for you, what should I do?"
Speaking of this, wasn’t it Tang Yuxiu’s fault? He should have arranged everything, how could he forget to give her a key?
"The room key is on the bedside table in the bedroom, it’s you who didn’t take it."
Gu Yan, "..." Was it? Why didn’t she see it?
Tang Yuxiu opened the door, gave her a disdainful glance, "Get up already."
"Oh." Gu Yan replied unhappily. Why so fierce? It’s not like she made him squat outside for hours.
Because she sat too long without moving, Gu Yan’s legs had gone numb. Suddenly standing up, the blood rushed to her head, her vision went black, and she couldn’t stand steadily, involuntarily about to fall.
Tang Yuxiu, quick-eyed and deft, swiftly caught her waist, pulling her into his arms.
Gu Yan instinctively grasped his arm tightly, taking a while to regain her composure.
But because of the numbness in her legs, she still couldn’t stand firmly, having to lean tightly against Tang Yuxiu.
She looked up, gazing at him pitifully, "My legs are numb."
Tang Yuxiu inwardly sighed a million times with helplessness, supporting her inside, then letting her sit on the floor, he changed his shoes before squatting down to remove hers and help her put on new ones.
"Next time, if you can’t get in without a key, just call me, don’t sit at the door, in case someone sees and thinks I’m mistreating you."
"Oh, I’ll remember." This time she just didn’t know, next time she surely won’t forget.
Gu Yan quietly watched Tang Yuxiu’s focused face, suddenly feeling that this man wasn’t so awful after all.
