Free Web NovelChapter 1652: Chapter 1652: Yue Siqing vs. Jinjin
[This scene begins after the wedding of Gu Annan and Lu Wanwan.]
Late at night, within the top-notch estate in the suburbs of London, it was silent as the grave.
The servant ascended the stairs, treading lightly on the plush carpet, not making a sound.
Every night, they would carefully check all areas before leaving.
Because Miss Jin’s sleep was not too good, she was easily awakened by noise.
The wall lamp in the corridor was still lit, and from the open door ahead, a golden glow spilled out.
It was the light from Mr. Yue’s room.
The servant recalled that Mr. Yue had not returned yet and suddenly understood why.
"Miss Jin, please come out."
The servant stood at the door of the room, looking troubled.
In the luxurious room, Miss Jin lay on the bed, seemingly asleep.
Upon hearing the servant’s voice, she frowned slightly and opened her eyes.
"Sorry, Miss Jin." The servant respectfully opened her eyes; if it wasn’t for Mr. Yue’s previous instructions, she would not have dared to disturb Miss Jin’s sleep. Yet remembering Mr. Yue’s stern demeanor, she dared not disobey, "Mr. Yue instructed that you are not allowed in his room without his permission."
Gu Anjin was still a bit sleepy, her eyes drowsily half-closed, "When did he say that?"
Ever since she heard from her sister-in-law that her brother’s change in feelings occurred only after the sister-in-law had slept with him, Gu Anjin had been more determined to try to change Yue Siqing’s mind in this way.
But the result...
Sighing slightly in her heart, every attempt ended in failure.
It was only then she realized that even if a woman wanted to sleep with a man, it wasn’t easy.
Yue Siqing indulged her in everything, except in allowing her.
Everyone knew how much he pampered her, but no one knew that this indulgence was merely due to a promise he had made to his grandfather...
Yue Siqing actually wasn’t in London often, but she had seized every possible opportunity.
Yet each time ended in failure; once he returned, he would make her leave without hesitation.
It was the only time she understood why so many feared him; his bone-deep decisiveness easily shattered her resolve.
Today was an exception; she didn’t intend to try again, she just wanted to lie here.
Because this was his room, his bed.
Lying here, she felt extraordinarily safe.
"It was a few months ago," the servant replied.
Gu Anjin pondered quietly, recalling that was probably the last time she had intruded into his room.
Afterwards, she stayed quiet, only making one request: that for her brother’s wedding, she wanted him to accompany her.
"I understand." Gu Anjin showed no intention of getting up, "You can leave, close the door. He’s on a flight to Harbor City tonight, he won’t be returning."
The servant had nothing more to say, but since Mr. Yue wasn’t returning, it should be fine.
The servant turned off the lights and exited, closing the door.
Gu Anjin hugged the quilt, burying half of her face into it.
At her brother’s wedding, when she mentioned wanting the bridal bouquet, he walked away. freewёbnoνel.com
She felt a touch of bitterness curl at her lips and closed her eyes once more.
Forget it.
After today, she would no longer hold any expectations for him.

"Mr. Yue?!" As the servant prepared to leave the villa, the main door suddenly opened.
The tall man in a black coat strode in with an incredibly sharp pace.
The servant was extremely flustered; wasn’t Mr. Yue not supposed to return today?
Before she could mention Miss Jin was upstairs, Mr. Yue had already reached the staircase.
Those urgent, disorderly steps seemed unusually disheveled.
