The white cane clacked as she walked aimlessly on the streets. Xiao Gu wagged his tail happily and the corner of the woman’s mouth rose as if she had eaten honey.

In the trash bin not far away from her lay a few tattered clothes and a sapphire-blue mask of Princess Elsa that sparkled under the street light.

“Young Master, Young Madam has returned.”

Overnight, green sprouts had appeared on Gu Liao’s face. His originally fair skin was tinged with a faint grayish-purple color. When he heard the servant’s report, he immediately rushed into the room.

“Xie Ru.”

Xie Ru was suddenly hugged by a warm body, stunning her for a moment.

“Gu Liao, it’s too tight.”

“You went out yesterday. Why?”

Although Xie Ru bypassed the surveillance cameras around the villa, she still overlooked some of them. Gu Liao saw Xie Ru going out alone with no one else following her around. This made him think that Xie Ru could actually see from the very beginning.

“The room was too stuffy. I wanted to go out for a walk, but having others around me was too noisy, so I went out alone. Xiao Gu followed me the entire time.”

Gu Liao hummed softly and fell asleep on the sofa just like that. Xie Ru had mixed feelings for a moment. She had long seen the change on the man’s face.

She muttered, “If you don’t like me, then don’t lead me on, Gu Liao.”

The next time he awoke, it was from a knock on the door. Gu Liao glanced at the small bump on the bed and gently walked to the door.

When he saw Bai Yunhua, he glared at him and coldly asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Young Master Gu, something has happened. The internet is full of insinuations about Gu Corporation. How can you still be in the mood to sleep? Wait, now that I have a good look at you, did you not get any sleep?”

Gu Liao nodded. “Are you still making up stories about me abandoning Xie Ru?”

“There’s still the matter of Xie Wutong.”

“Let’s discuss in the study,” said Gu Liao softly as he glanced at Xie Ru on the bed.

The footsteps gradually disappeared from her hearing. Xie Ru then stood up and easily turned on Gu Liao’s computer. Before she could search for the relevant information, a news pop-up window suddenly appeared on the screen: ‘Xie Wutong drunk in the middle of the night at Gray Bar. So, who is Young Master Gu’s woman?’

Xie Ru sneered. Xie Wutong was still alive and well. Her fingers rapidly typed on the keyboard and in a blink of an eye, all the relevant information on the internet disappeared, replaced by other secret news about the Xie family.

The situation changed so quickly. Some people were happy, while others were worried.

“I didn’t expect Master Gu and the Xie family’s second son to join forces, but did Xie Wutong really do it?”

Bai Yunhua was doubtful when he heard that Xie Wutong had stripped herself naked in front of Gu Liao. She was a famous beauty in the capital. If Gu Liao was a real man, would he be able to control himself with such a sight?

“How about you go see it for yourself. Have a look at Xie Ru’s eyes. I still have hope that she can see.”

“Forget it. I don’t have the fortune to enjoy such things. And don’t have too much hope. You should know that Xie Ru’s eyes are related to her parents’ matter. You’ve also heard about what happened in the Xie family. It’s not just them.”

Gu Liao nodded. The head of the Xie family had almost unified the upper class of the capital. So it’s no surprise that there are countless people who secretly hated them. A punch that could take on all hands was naturally like a meteorite.

“Xie Ru’s return to the capital was initially a piece of news that everyone paid attention to. But when they found out that she was blind, they ignored her. If she was cured, it would be another storm.”

“The grudges of the previous generation-“

“Gu Liao, you’re too naïve. Do you really think that Xie Ru came back because the Xie family forced her?”

Could Xie Ru’s sudden disappearance last time be due to someone contacting Xie Ru to meet up?

“I will have Xie Ru follow me. It will let the people on the Internet know that we have a good relationship and it will also make it easier for me to keep an eye on Xie Ru.”

Bai Yunhua took a deep look at Gu Liao. He could be planning to spy on her. However, looking at Gu Liao’s appearance, he was probably trying to protect her. He just didn’t know if she would appreciate it..
