Chapter 419: It Was Little Troublemaker, Not Liang Doukou (9)





His demeanor made Liang Doukou nervous, as if he knew she had a body double. He looked as though he could see deep inside of her.


She unconsciously gripped her chopsticks tighter while looking back at Gu Yusheng.


Zhou Jing had told her not to get too close to Gu Yusheng to keep him from noticing anything. Recalling this, Liang Doukou looked at the rice bowl in front of her with one bite of rice left. She calmly raised her chopsticks to add more stir fry to her bowl. She softly explained, “I’ll have some breaks during production, and I’ll come back to Beijing.”


Gu Yusheng remained quiet while looking at her face. Although his expression was not mean or cold, Liang Doukou felt a chill crawling up her spine.


She finished her food and then put her chopsticks down. She pulled a tissue from a tissue box next to her and elegantly wiped her mouth before saying, “I’m done. I’m going upstairs now.”


“Mrs., soup is ready. Would you like some?” The housekeeper walked out of the kitchen with a clay pot in her hands.


Liang Doukou put down the tissue and grabbed her cell phone before smiling at the housekeeper. “No, thank you. My martial arts teacher trained me hard today. I need a shower after that workout. Maybe I’ll feel better later.”


“Well, you can have some soup later if you want.” The housekeeper put down the pot, ladled soup into a china bowl, and placed it in front of Gu Yusheng.


As careful as she was, the china bowl still clicked when it touched the granite table.


Gu Yusheng blinked and moved his eyes from Liang Doukou’s face to the barely touched food on the table.


He suddenly said to the housekeeper, who was walking back to the kitchen, “Do we have mangoes?”


“Yes. The gardener just sent some over this morning,” she replied.


“Can you make some mango tapioca?” The housekeeper stopped at the refrigerator to get the ingredients and continued to the kitchen.


Gu Yusheng looked back at Liang Doukou. “Have some dessert.”


Liang Doukou nodded and said softly, “Okay.”


Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou remained silent in the dining room while some commercials played on the TV on the wall.


The housekeeper quickly prepared the tapioca and brought it to the table along with two bowls. She placed one bowl in front of Liang Doukou and the other in front of Gu Yusheng, who picked up a spoon and stirred it. Without taking a bite, he lifted his chin and softly said “mmm” to entice her to have some.


Without saying anything, Liang Doukou picked up a piece of mango with a spoon and put it into her mouth.


She slowly chewed a few times before swallowing it. Having enjoyed the first bite, she picked up another piece.


As she did, Gu Yusheng looked away from her and held his spoon so tightly that the veins on his hand became visible. When he spoke, however, he sounded calm. “Where is she?”
