The voice from behind obviously carried a sense of command.
The dinner was delicate and had five dishes, each one small and carefully prepared. It wasn"t until they finished the last fruit salad that Xia An finally felt full. It must have been the most expensive dinner she"d ever had in her life.
After dinner, the chefs were also in charge of cleaning up the mess. When Xia An wanted to help them out, he was immediately stopped. This caused Xia An to have even more nothing to do.
"But I still need to work." Xia An blinked. The work upstairs wasn"t finished yet.
Gong Yuze knew what kind of job she was referring to, so he thought for a while before replying, "I"ll arrange you another job, go organize my study, and you can read any book you want."
Xia An could feel his good intentions, so she immediately pursed her lips into a smile. "Alright, thank you young master."
Under the light, her pair of fair and white face was smiling. Her clear smile was like the stars s.h.i.+ning, sparkling with light.
Gong Yuze stared at her for a few seconds, his expression did not seem to be affected, and coldly went upstairs.
Xia An"s smile stiffened as he laughed. It seemed that this Young Master Gong was really a bit temperamental.
She quickly went upstairs. She pushed open the door of the study and pressed on the light switch, only to see that the entire study was circular in design, with a round hole in the middle. Inside were dark blue sofas and crystal desktops, and the bookshelves beside them were all filled with books.
"Wow!" The four crystal lamps hung from the ceiling all the way down to the ground, illuminating the room in a bright and gentle light, causing one to be able to see very comfortably.
Xia An knew that Gong Yuze intentionally opened his study room to her, so why not use this opportunity to pick out a few books that she liked to read and read properly?
When she was in school, she had always liked to go to the library. When she saw the books she liked, she had the urge to read them to the end.
There was a ladder next to it, a very intelligent ladder, but it moved in a straight motion, circling the circular bookcase. The cla.s.sification on it was also very clear, and the collection here was also very rich.
Xia An felt that he could stay here for the entire night, if Gong Yuze allowed her to.
When she found a foreign novel she liked, she sat at the middle table and began to read it. Her English allowed her to read a Western novel, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Time spent reading was extremely slow, as if no one was aware of the flow of time. Especially when one was immersed in the beautiful plot of a novel, it was as if they were in a situation where they were unable to extricate themselves.
It was eight o"clock, eleven o"clock, but she wasn"t sleepy at all. She was drawn by the plot of the story and didn"t want to let go, so she read, and it was twelve o"clock in the evening.
If it wasn"t for the thirst, she would have gone on reading.
She put the novel back in its place, turned out the light, and went downstairs to get some water.
As soon as Xia An walked out of the corridor, he saw that the staircase on the third floor was lit up and footsteps could be heard.
At this time, from the third floor, other than the young master of the Gong family, there was no one else.
Xia An was immediately embarra.s.sed. She didn"t expect to run into him, so she braced herself and stepped forward to greet him.
Then she saw a man in a gray silk nightgown step by step down the white marble staircase.
He didn"t even wear a belt on his body. His strong and thin chest muscles, which were as hard as chocolate blocks, were bared. His lower body only had a pair of tight underpants and his two long and straight legs were draped over his slippers …
"AHH!" Xia An didn"t expect to see Gong Yuze like this, and he immediately turned his body while covering his face.
When Gong Yuze saw the girl that suddenly appeared in the hallway, he quickly pulled his robe closer to his chest to hide his body. Under the dim light, Jun Yan was a little embarra.s.sed, he had forgotten that there was a girl staying at his house.
"Why aren"t you asleep yet?" Gong Yuze asked with a bit of vexation.
"I... I"m going to sleep! " Xia Ran"s voice was tinged with panic.
Gong Yuze tied his belt tightly and said indifferently, "I"m thirsty."
"I... I want some water, too. " Xiashan was also thirsty.
"Wait here." After Gong Yuze finished speaking, he walked down the stairs step by step.
After a while, he took out two bottles of open spring water and handed them to her, "Hurry back to your room and sleep."
