You really are in a hurry to leave me

Gu Hansheng seemed incapable of getting tired, keeping at it until well past midnight.

I was so exhausted I was about to fall asleep before he finally let go of me, satisfied.

After that, I remembered nothing.

Early the next morning, my alarm woke me.

At first, I wondered why I had even set an alarm.

Then I suddenly remembered that today seemed to be my first official day at work.

I had no time to think about anything else. The commute alone took an hour, so I had to get up at least three hours early to make it.

The moment I sat up, I felt sore all over.

Gu Hansheng slowly stirred awake. "Up so early?"

I turned to glare at the culprit, then climbed out of bed indignantly.

Noticing something odd about his gaze, I rushed into the bathroom.

I happened to catch sight of myself in the mirror. "Huh?"

I had no idea when he had put the lace-trimmed silk nightdress on me. More importantly, the little marks scattered over my body were glaringly obvious.

I had no idea why he had been so energetic last night.

Now I finally understood why he had been looking at me so strangely.

Gu Hansheng followed me in and wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Seeing you like this makes it a little hard to hold back."

I hurriedly escaped, but he seemed unwilling to let me off until I blurted out, "It's my first day reporting to work! I'm going to be late!"

Only then did he stop pestering me and give me a suspicious look instead.

Afraid his animal instincts would take over, I hurriedly said, "If I'm late on my very first day, the company definitely won't keep me.

"If they won't keep me, I won't be able to earn any money, and if I can't earn any money, I can't pay you back."

He stepped aside, letting me continue getting ready.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I was about to brush my hair.

Leaning against the doorframe, he said languidly, "If you ask me, you should just forget about going out to work. It's not as though I'm forcing you to pay me back right away! Wouldn't it be nice to stay home and pursue your hobbies? Why insist on going out to suffer?"

I didn't want to mention that there were reasons involving my family too, so I only said, "Aren't I doing this so I can pay you back sooner?"

His expression had only just softened a little, but my words made it darken again.

Watching his eyes turn cold, I couldn't help frowning.

This man really did love getting angry. Even my wanting to pay him back sooner made him angry!

"You really are in a hurry to leave me!" he scoffed.

I truly didn't want to argue with him over such a pointless topic.

If I didn't leave him, how could he be with his white moonlight in peace?

He made it sound as though he didn't want me to leave.

And he even said working wasn't right for me! How could he know it wasn't right when I hadn't even tried?

Even I didn't think so, yet he had already decided it.

I said nothing, applying some light makeup and putting on the office outfit An'an had helped me choose.

When I came out, Gu Hansheng was actually already dressed and ready. "Let's go."

I didn't quite understand what he meant by "let's go."

Seeing me standing there in a daze, he came over, took my wrist, and led me outside. "I'll drive you."

"Drive me? What's this? Have you been reincarnated as a living bodhisattva?"

His grip on my wrist tightened. "That mouth of yours. I should kiss it swollen and see if you can still say things that make me angry!"

Once we were in the car, Gu Hansheng glanced at me before starting the engine. "I just want to see whether you really found a job. After all... some people find a job one day, then go to an interview the next!"

My face flushed.

I remembered running into Shen Yanchuan and him after being rejected at my last interview.

When I said nothing, he seemed to smile.

My phone chimed. It was An'an: [Wishing my Hanhan a smooth first day at work!]

I replied: [Thanks, babe!]

"Who are you being so affectionate with over text?" Gu Hansheng's voice was icy. "It's not Shen Yanchuan, is it?"

Before I could answer, he added, "Don't tell me the job you found has something to do with him?"

I put my phone away. "How could it? It's An'an."

Sometimes, I really struggled to understand him. He had a persecution complex anytime, anywhere.

But I didn't dare say that aloud. If I angered him, I really wouldn't have an easy time of it.

With him driving me, the journey was considerably shorter. In my previous life, I had always gotten up at noon and rarely seen the morning rush hour.

Everyone on the streets was hurrying along.

For some reason, it all felt a little unreal.

The morning sunlight wasn't yet scorching as it streamed through the car window, and an unaccountable sense of contentment filled me.

Life finally seemed to be taking a little shape.

Gu Hansheng asked for the address, and I gave him an approximate location.

He paused, and just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.

It was Shen Yanchuan.

Gu Hansheng put on his headset and answered.

I looked at Gu Hansheng. I didn't know what Shen Yanchuan had said, but his face darkened instantly.

He sped up as he listened, saying at one point, "Tell Shen Nian to wait for me."

He pulled over in front of a subway station.

"Get out. I have something to do."

"But..." I had never taken the subway and didn't know which line would get me to the office.

He glared at me, his voice icy and leaving no room for argument. "Get out!"

From the look of him, he was extremely anxious.

So it had to do with Shen Nian!

My nose stung. Yes, who besides Shen Nian could make him this anxious?

The power of a white moonlight really was immense.

She didn't even have to call him herself. Having her cousin make one call was enough to work Gu Hansheng into such a state!
