Gu Tingyuan went upstairs but did not enter the master bedroom or guest room directly. Instead, he walked straight to the study.

When he passed by the master bedroom, he glanced at the door but did not stop. Instead, he went straight into the study.

Downstairs, the maid, Xiao Bi, waited for a long time but did not see him going down to ask about Mu Wan. She was puzzled.

Indeed, Mr. Gu did not care about Miss Mu’s existence at all.

Xiao Bi stood at the top of the stairs. After Gu Tingyuan gave a clear order, no one dared to step onto the second floor. Thus, Xiao Bi naturally turned around and left.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Tingyuan sat at the dining table as if he was waiting for Mu Wan to have breakfast together.

However, as time passed, Mu Wan did not come downstairs. Gu Tingyuan seemed to be a little impatient. He raised his wrist to look at the time. It was already 7:50 am.

“Go get her.”

Xiao Bi, who was waiting at the side, was slightly stunned.

Did Mr. Gu not notice that Miss Mu was not around last night?

“Mr Gu, Miss Mu…”

Gu Tingyuan had already picked up his cutlery and started eating. When he heard the maid speak, he paused and looked at her.

“What happened to her?”

The maid trembled in fear. “Miss Mu didn’t come back yesterday.”

Gu Tingyuan’s expression darkened. His originally cold eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost at this moment, making one feel fear.

“Where did she go?”

Xiao Bi lowered her head. She was uneasy as she was afraid that Gu Tingyuan would be angry. “When Miss Mu left yesterday, she said that she was going back to the Mu residence, but she didn’t come back last night.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyuan’s face darkened and his cold eyes were filled with danger. “Why didn’t you say this last night?”

Xiao Bi lifted her head and wanted to explain. However, in front of Mr Gu, there was no room for her to do so. A mistake was a mistake.

“I’m sorry, Mr Gu. I was afraid of disturbing your rest last night, so I didn’t dare to speak.”

No one knew if it was because Mu Wan had left or because she had not returned, but Gu Tingyuan was obviously in a bad mood. His expression was extremely gloomy.

The maid was terrified and lowered her head even more.

She didn’t know where Miss Mu went, but Miss Mu didn’t return last night. Wasn’t it obvious that the maids would suffer as well?

However, based on Miss Mu’s personality, she should have known that Mr. Gu would definitely be angry if she did not return for the whole night. Why did she still do it despite knowing the answer?

Xiao Bi lowered her head. Although she was suspicious, she did not dare to say another word to Gu Tingyuan, who was shrouded in a dangerous aura.

Gu Tingyuan was preoccupied with this matter and ate his breakfast without relish.

Then, Gu Tingyuan got up and dialed Mu Wan’s number.

“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”

Gu Tingyuan frowned slightly in front of the white window. He was clearly surprised by the voice coming from the communication device.

He had clearly said that from the day they registered their marriage, she, Mu Wan, would no longer have a self. She was just a member of the Gu family!

Gu Tingyuan turned around and strode towards the entrance unhappily.

His butler, Qin Feng followed closely behind. “Mr Gu.”

“We’re going to the Mu residence.”

“Yes.”

Then, the black Rolls-Royce sped along the asphalt road halfway up the mountain. It appeared and disappeared from time to time like a shadow of time, making people unable to catch it in time.

…

At the Mu residence.

In the magnificent and grand living room, Chen Huijun and her daughter were leisurely sipping tea. They were feeling very happy.

“Hanhan, is your method really effective?” Chen Huijun put down her teacup and looked at her daughter meaningfully.

Mu Han’s lips curled into a smug smile when she heard that. She also placed her teacup on the coffee table and smiled at her mother.
