Qiao Hua silently grumbled to herself.
She drew a small breath. "I'm not going to run away. You don't need to watch me twenty-four hours a day anymore."
"Besides, Lin Chao and Liao Anna are there. Even if I wanted to escape, I wouldn't have a chance."
Gu Wenze's tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. "No. You have to stay with me."
Seeing that Qiao Hua still wanted to argue, Gu Wenze gave her a veiled warning. "Qiao Hua, letting you move freely around the company is already my limit. If you keep bargaining with me, I might take even that away."
With Gu Wenze so adamant, Qiao Hua had no choice but to abandon the idea.
She had hoped to use this opportunity to move out of his office.
Unfortunately, Gu Wenze was too shrewd!
A capitalist through and through. He wouldn't give up a single advantage!
[Fine, say no, then. Cheapskate!]
[If I wanted to escape, I could have done it at the hospital last time. Why would I wait until now?]
[You're suspicious of everything all day long. I'd suggest getting yourself checked for paranoia right away.]
Qiao Hua turned and returned to her workstation, completely ignoring Gu Wenze's dark expression after he heard those thoughts. She made a great deal of noise, as though venting her frustration.
That evening, Qiao Hua followed Qiao Hua back to the villa. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed an unexpected visitor.
On closer inspection, he looked familiar.
Wasn't he the psychiatrist who had come to examine her last time?
Qiao Hua turned to Gu Wenze, suspicion in her eyes.
Gu Wenze explained evenly, "The psychiatrist hasn't been here in a long time. He came specifically to give you a checkup."
Unsure whether Gu Wenze had grown suspicious,
