There wasn't much emotion in his eyes, just like the expression on his face, quiet and indifferent.
Liang Doukou didn't know if it was because she had used a substitute, but she always felt that Gu Yusheng's eyes were a little mysterious, as if he could see through her at any time.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the chopsticks, and her eyes became a little unfocused as she looked back at Gu Yusheng.
Zhou Jing had told her to try not to have too much contact with Gu Yusheng recently, so as not to expose herself … As she thought about it, Liang Doukou's eyes drifted to the bowl in front of her. There was only a small mouthful of rice left in it. She pretended to be calm and picked up some food with her chopsticks. When she put it into the bowl, she explained to Gu Yusheng in a soft voice, "There will be breaks in between, and I'll go back to Beijing then."
Gu Yusheng still didn't say anything, and his eyes were still glued to her face.
Gu Yusheng's eyes weren't fierce or even cold, but Liang Doukou's back was a little numb under his gaze.
She tried hard to maintain her composure and finished the food in her bowl unhurriedly. She put down her chopsticks, pulled out a tissue from the side, and elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth. Then she said, "I'm full. I'll go upstairs first."
"Mrs. Gu, the soup is just right. Don't you want some?" The housekeeper walked out of the kitchen with a clay pot.
Liang Doukou put down the tissue and picked up her cell phone. She smiled at the housekeeper and said, "No, thanks. When I met the martial arts teacher today, he taught me some movements, so I sweated a lot. I feel a little uncomfortable now, so I want to take a shower first."
"Mrs. Gu, if you want to drink later, you can continue." The housekeeper put down the clay pot, took a porcelain bowl, and filled it with soup, then put it in front of Gu Yusheng.
The housekeeper's movements were very gentle, but when the bowl touched the marble table, it still made a slight crisp sound.
Gu Yusheng blinked his eyes and shifted his gaze from Liang Doukou's face to the dishes on the table that had barely been touched.
After less than two seconds, when Liang Doukou was about to get up, Gu Yusheng suddenly asked the housekeeper, who was walking to the kitchen, "Do you have mangoes at home?"
"Yes, the orchard just sent some this morning," the housekeeper replied.
"Make some mango sago." After Gu Yusheng gave the order, he looked at Liang Doukou again. "Have some dessert."
Since Gu Yusheng had asked, Liang Doukou didn't refuse. She nodded and said gently, "Okay."
The butler took some ingredients from the fridge and slipped into the kitchen.
Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou stopped talking, and the dining room suddenly became a little quiet. Only the TV hanging on the wall played a very light advertisement.
Soon, the dessert was ready and served by the butler.
The housekeeper filled two bowls and placed one bowl in front of each of them.
Gu Yusheng stirred the soup with a spoon, but he didn't touch it. Instead, he raised his chin at Liang Doukou and said, "Hmm," indicating for her to eat.
Liang Doukou didn't say anything. She picked up the spoon, dug a piece of mango, and stuffed it into her mouth.
She chewed slowly with a gentle look on her face, then swallowed the mango.
When Liang Doukou picked up the spoon to scoop up the second spoonful, Gu Yusheng looked down and stopped staring at her. The veins in his hand were bulging because he was gripping the spoon too hard, but his voice was surprisingly calm. "Where is she?"
