Gu Li knocked on the door, her voice unusually abrupt in the silent study.
Perhaps disrupted by the knocking, Gu Chen suddenly turned around. Upon seeing Gu Li, he quickly hid what he was holding in his arms and asked without changing his expression, "What is it?"
"Time to eat."
"Hmm, I'll be right there."
Gu Li nodded, turned, and left, but her mind lingered on the moment Gu Chen hid something.
What could make him so nervous and keep it unseen from her?
She clearly saw a flash of panic in his eyes when he saw her.
Never mind, she did not want to get too involved with him. Now, living under the same roof peacefully, she merely regarded him as her guardian.
The next day, Gu Li got up early, mindful that she was to accompany Gu Chen for a medical check-up today.
The hospital was crowded every day, and with Li Yan absent, Gu Chen had no choice but to queue even if he was reluctant.
