Chapter 153: I’m Not Going Anywhere
The servant noticed Xie Miaohan standing barefoot on the floor and exclaimed, hurriedly saying, “Mr. Xie, why aren’t you wearing shoes? Someone broke a vase just now, and they’re still cleaning up the shards. What if you step on one?”
Xie Miaohan gazed at the room at the end of the corridor, his cold face devoid of any emotion. Unknown thoughts occupied his mind, and he paid no attention to the servant’s words.
“Mr. Xie, please wait here. I’ll go get your shoes.”
Xie Miaohan’s thoughts were pulled back. He shook his head at the servant.
“No need. I’ll go back to my room.”
“But…”
Before the servant could finish, Xie Miaohan had already turned and walked away, his back exuding a heartbreaking sense of loneliness.
Feeling something was wrong, the servant took out her walkie-talkie to speak to the monitoring room.
“Mr. Xie seems a bit off. Keep a close eye on him today.”
Back in his room, Xie Miaohan immediately took out his phone, wanting to call Gu Huaiye.
But seeing the time on the screen, he realized Gu Huaiye should be in class.
Afraid of disturbing him, he hesitated for a while, then put the phone down.
He picked up the note Gu Huaiye left, tracing the words, imagining Gu Huaiye’s expression as he wrote them.
He was also savoring Gu Huaiye’s pheromones.
Perhaps because he had undergone artificial Omega surgery, the dependency on his partner had carried over through several lifetimes. He truly couldn’t bear to be apart from him for a moment.
Xie Miaohan sat on the floor, pressing the note to his chest to alleviate the anxiety of not seeing Gu Huaiye.
He didn’t dare beg Gu Huaiye to stay anymore.
He was afraid that if he held on too tight, Gu Huaiye wouldn’t want him again.
Xie Miaohan was unwilling to sleep anymore, fearing he would miss seeing Gu Huaiye again.
After he finished brunch, a servant immediately handed him several pills.
“Mr. Xie, it’s time for your medicine.”
“Okay.”
Xie Miaohan placed the pills in his palm and picked up the water glass on the table. Just as he was about to swallow them…
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
His eyes changed slightly. Under the servant’s gaze, he tilted his head back, faking the action of swallowing, and took a large gulp of water.
Once the servant looked away, he hid the pills in his pocket.
“Mr. Xie, are you going for a walk today?” the servant asked. “Do you need the driver to prepare the car?”
“No, I’m going back to my room to rest.”
Xie Miaohan stood up and returned to his room.
He pulled open the drawer by the bed and placed the unswallowed pills inside.
“Huaiye, I’m sorry. I really don’t want to miss you anymore,” Xie Miaohan whispered.
As he wished, he didn’t feel sleepy that afternoon.
His spirit was unusually high. He stood by the window the entire time, watching the main gate downstairs, waiting for Gu Huaiye’s return.
At six in the evening, the car driven by Lu Zishi arrived at the villa gate.
Xie Miaohan curved his lips into a smile, turned, and walked quickly out of the room.
Gu Huaiye had just gotten out of the back seat when he looked up to see Xie Miaohan coming out in his pajamas. He couldn’t help but frown.
Before Gu Huaiye could speak, Xie Miaohan pulled him into his arms, hugging him with all his strength.
“Huaiye, you’re finally back.” Xie Miaohan sounded extremely aggrieved. “Why didn’t you wake me last night? We agreed we were going to bed together.”
Accidentally overhearing Xie Miaohan’s words, Lu Zishi’s cheeks burned instantly, turning completely red.
He coughed lightly and spoke respectfully to Gu Huaiye. “Young Master, I’ll be heading back.”
Gu Huaiye was also a bit embarrassed and nodded slightly to Lu Zishi.
Once Lu Zishi drove away, Gu Huaiye looked helpless. “Let go of me first.”
Xie Miaohan’s body stiffened. Thinking Gu Huaiye was unhappy, he quickly let go.
Gu Huaiye unbuttoned his coat, shook off the snow that had fallen on it, and wrapped it around Xie Miaohan.
“There’s no heating outside. Next time you come out, you must wear a jacket.” Gu Huaiye deliberately kept a straight face. “If you catch a cold and get sick, I won’t talk to you.”
Xie Miaohan nodded obediently. “I’ll remember.”
“Let’s go. Let’s go inside.”
“Okay.”
Gu Huaiye took the initiative to hold Xie Miaohan’s hand, leading him into the villa.
“I didn’t mean not to wake you. I saw you were sleeping so soundly, I thought you were tired from the day.”
“I stayed in the villa all day and went nowhere. How could I be tired?”
Gu Huaiye faltered, a sense of guilt rising in his heart.
He looked up at Xie Miaohan. “If you’re really bored during the day, you can come to school to find me. We can have lunch together. Just send me a message, and I’ll tell Lu Zishi to pick you up. Or I can have my father’s driver take you.”
Currently, Gu Huaiye didn’t dare let Xie Miaohan drive, afraid his mood might become unstable and cause an accident on the road.
“Forget it. I don’t want to go to the school for now.”
It wasn’t that Xie Miaohan didn’t want to go; he was afraid people at the school would notice his abnormality and mock Gu Huaiye for having a mentally unstable boyfriend.
Hearing Xie Miaohan’s answer, Gu Huaiye was surprised.
He had thought Xie Miaohan would want to go to school to see him.
“It’s okay. No rush to go back to school. Come whenever you want.”
“Okay.”
During dinner, Father Gu was also present, his eyes constantly staring at Xie Miaohan.
Gu Huaiye noticed and signaled Father Gu with his eyes, indicating he shouldn’t stare like that as it would make Xie Miaohan uncomfortable.
Meeting Gu Huaiye’s gaze, Father Gu had no choice but to stop looking at Xie Miaohan.
He put down his knife and fork and started a topic.
“When are you going to the company to help out?”
Gu Huaiye swallowed the food in his mouth. “I’m already handling company affairs. Little Uncle should have told you.”
“I mean, when will you physically go to the company? Just handling things online won’t let you understand the internal situation.”
Gu Huaiye disagreed. “It doesn’t stop me from landing big contracts.”
Father Gu sighed. “You’re going to be in management later. If you never go to the company, how will you convince the people below you?”
“I can start from the grassroots level first; it’s no problem.”
“You…” Father Gu couldn’t out-argue Gu Huaiye. “Sigh, forget it. Your Little Uncle is going on a business trip in a few days, probably for half a month. Do you want to go along and learn?”
As the words fell, the knife in Xie Miaohan’s hand suddenly pressed down hard, making a sharp, screeching sound.
Both of their gazes landed on Xie Miaohan.
Gu Huaiye reacted first, patting Xie Miaohan’s shoulder, his voice filled with obvious reassurance.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”
Xie Miaohan curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile.
Seeing this, Father Gu sighed heavily and said no more.
He wouldn’t listen anyway.
The son has grown up and won’t be controlled by his father.
Let him be.
Sigh!
