When Gu Xiao met Chu An’s expectant gaze, she understood what he was thinking.
“How about going to your villa?”
Upon hearing this, Chu An’s expression instantly brightened. He stretched out his neck and closed the distance between him and Gu Xiao.
“Really?”
Gu Xiao raised her head and pressed her hand on Chu An’s face, exerting a little force. Chu An went along with the force she exerted, and pulled away from the other party.
“If you’re not willing, I’ll stay in a hotel for the night. After that…”
Chu An hurriedly raised his hand to cover Gu Xiao’s mouth.
“There’s no need. Let’s go to my villa! Ever since Xiaoxiao left, I’ve felt that the surroundings of the villa are empty. It’s quite scary to live alone. With Xiaoxiao there, I’m a little bolder.”
In order to make Gu Xiao give up on the idea of living outside, Chu An would do anything and say anything.
However, Gu Xiao had originally planned to go to Chu An’s place. Even if the other party had been slightly exaggerated with his words, she didn’t object.
When the two of them arrived at the villa, it was already late. The two of them returned to their rooms to wash up.
Just as Gu Xiao finished washing up and had yet to sit on the bed, there was a light knock on the door.
Gu Xiao paused. She didn’t need to think any further to know who the person outside was. She pursed her lips and smiled with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
She walked towards the door and opened it. As expected, she saw Chu An holding a cup of hot milk.
“Xiaoxiao, you’ve worked hard today. I’ve heated up a glass of milk for you.
You’ll sleep better after drinking it.”
Seeing Chu An’s sincere eyes that didn’t seem to have any other intentions, Gu Xiao thought for a moment before turning around and letting Chu An enter the room.
Chu An was delighted. Just as Gu Xiao moved aside, he walked into the other party’s room.
It was so fast that it was as if Gu Xiao would change her mind in the next second and stop him outside the door.
After Chu An placed the warm milk on the bedside table, he unceremoniously sat down on Gu Xiao’s bed. Then, he patted the spot beside him. “Xiaoxiao, why are you standing there? Come and sit.”
Gu Xiao smiled and walked over under the other party’s expectant gaze.
When she sat down beside Chu An, she could sense that Chu An was a little restless, but he was still more well-behaved and didn’t do anything.
As long as he could get closer to Gu Xiao, there was no need for them to do anything else. It was enough to make Chu An happy.
Although in the end, Chu An couldn’t help but hold Gu Xiao’s small hand with his own bigger hand.
“Now that Xiaoxiao has left the Ji Family, what do you plan to do next?”
Chu An held Gu Xiao’s hand and squeezed it here and there as if her hand was a toy that he couldn’t bear to part with.
“I have quite a lot of assets in my hands now, but compared to the Ji Group, it’s a little inadequate. If 1 really want to go against the Ji Group, I can’t just keep the assets in my hands. 1 have to make use of them.”
Chu An nodded in agreement, but his hand didn’t stop moving.
“Yes, yes. So, how do you plan to make use of it?”
Gu Xiao looked at Chu An, who was wholeheartedly squeezing her hand, and mercilessly pulled her hand away.
Chu An sensed Gu Xiao’s dissatisfaction and immediately retracted his hand.
He sat up straight and looked like he was listening attentively.
Gu Xiao smiled helplessly in her heart but did not pursue the matter.
“I’m going to start a company. What do you think?”
Chu An calmed down and seriously thought about Gu Xiao’s words for a few seconds before nodding.
“That’s a good idea.”
The only thing that could fight against capital was capital. Gu Xiao had money now, but it was not capital. She had to invest this money and operate it.
To Gu Xiao, this was indeed a good idea.
“But, Xiaoxiao, have you decided what kind of company you want to start?”
Gu Xiao fell silent and didn’t answer Chu An’s question. Chu An also quietly looked at Gu Xiao, waiting for her answer.
After a while, Gu Xiao said, “i haven’t thought of what company to start yet. There’s no hurry. Let me think about it first.”
Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An nodded. “This kind of thing isn’t child’s play. You should consider it more.”
The two of them discussed the general situation. Although the specific problems had not been resolved, the two of them were not in a hurry.
After staying at Gu Xiao’s place for a while and seeing that it was getting late, Chu An said goodnight to Gu Xiao and left Gu Xiao’s room with the cup of warm milk that had been drunk empty..
