After the two finished their breakfast,. Zhang came over to tidy up the table. Upon seeing Gu Xiqiao’s leftovers, she sighed worriedly. “Miss Gu has such a small appetite, no wonder she’s so thin and frail. Putting aside her growth, it’ll be very easy for her to get sick in the future if she continues like this. Why doesn’t her family take care of her…”

 “Get her something to eat later at ten o’clock.” Jiang Shuxuan got up and cut her off, looking down at the watch on his wrist before looking back at Mrs. Zhang. “I have things to attend to, so I won’t be back this afternoon.”

 After breakfast, Gu Xiqiao took her canvas to continue her oil painting at the private lake of the mansion, and Mrs. Zhang also prepared treats for her while she painted.

 Jiang Shuxuan came back to the mansion in the evening and brought back a painting album for Gu Xiqiao.

 Gu Xiqiao accepted the brand new painting album and stood there stunned for a while, which made Jiang Shuxuan glance at her. “I saw you bring a painting canvas back last night, so I got you this. Do you dislike it?”

 “No, I really like it!” Gu Xiqiao sniffled under her breath and smiled at him happily.

 She wore a pale yellow dress that Mrs. Zhang had prepared for her which complemented her complexion well. Her collarbones could faintly be seen, but because she was too thin and bony, the scene didn’t give birth to any impure thoughts.

 Jiang Shuxuan looked at her and squinted slightly. “It’s good that you like it. By the way, come over to my study later, let’s talk about how my document came back all of a sudden.”

 His document?

 Gu Xiqiao blinked and whistled innocently. “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

 The young man completely ignored this show of hers and turned around to enter the house coldly.

 Gu Xiqiao stood in place for a while, and after her smart brain came up with several perfect excuses to explain everything, she entered the mansion and made her way to the study, knocking on the door slowly.

 When she entered, Jiang Shuxuan was reading on the rocking chair next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

 Gu Xiqiao looked around the study curiously, and even though there weren’t many books, but they were all arranged neatly. Most of them looked old and even somewhat ancient, and were almost close to falling apart.

 “I have things to do tomorrow, so stay here for a few days alright? I’ve already dealt with things over with your family, so you can stay with no reservations, no need to worry.” Jiang Shuxuan flipped a page of his book with his lithe fingers but didn’t speak a word about the document.

 He didn’t mind, and he had just wanted to tease her on a whim earlier. Suddenly, he thought of her advice to return to Jing Capital from earlier.

 So was it purely a coincidence, or did she know?

 Gu Xiqiao was deep in thought too. He was going to leave N City, to go to Jing Capital perhaps? She had guessed that he was going to leave, but not so soon.

 Now, what she had to think about was why he let her stay at his place?

 The proposal was quite tempting for her because she had to find an isolated and safe place to enter the virtual space, and honestly, she didn’t feel space to do so in Gu Estate. Every night, she would have the system set up multiple protective measures before she entered the virtual space, and it was good for her to stay at this place.
