My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Love Hidden Too Deeply
 

Actually, I’ve always kept my feelings for Gu Yuanzhou very deep, whether it be love or hate, I never let them show.

At least, I didn’t want to reveal them in front of Lin Anqi and Lin Nansheng.

I didn’t want them to worry about these things…

I tried so hard to disguise myself, but I never expected Lin Anqi to see through me.

“Uh, I noticed that at the dinner table just now, you two seemed a bit out of sync.”

“Yes, I indeed have some dislike for him.”

Since she had noticed it, I didn’t hide it anymore.

I originally thought Lin Anqi would take this opportunity to ask me about my past entanglements with him, but instead, Lin Anqi very empathetically took my hand.

Gently comforting me.

“Louis has suffered some hardships that very few people have experienced, so when it comes to interacting with others, he sometimes can be a bit excessive. I hope, for my sake, that you can forgive him, okay?”

“Uh… Anqi, what do you mean?”

“I mean I hope you can be more tolerant of Louis, not to get angry because of him, or think about not moving in. He’s the type with a sharp tongue but a soft heart; the harsh words he says aren’t necessarily things he would really do.”

“Anqi, you’re really kind!”

“Sister, we are family, and it’s natural to treat family well. Dad said he hopes you don’t feel any pressure in this home. Actually, mom wanted to come and live here for a while. But considering you might not be ready to accept her at the moment, dad asked her not to come over just yet, until you’ve gotten used to our way of life.”

Lin Anqi’s eyes radiated kindness, her arrangements and planning all deeply considered me.

She didn’t make me feel the least bit uncomfortable.

Her attitude suddenly made me feel that if I held any more defenses against her, it would be my wrongdoing.

Such a gentle and considerate woman like her might really be well-suited for Gu Yuanzhou.

“No, Anqi, don’t worry, I don’t have any complaints against him. My decision not to move in is purely because of my own reasons.”

Lin Anqi’s face lit up with joy,

“If sister says so, then a weight has been lifted off my heart. I will not worry anymore. Look, it’s already deep into the night, why don’t you stay over?”

Lin Anqi handed me the bunch of keys she was holding.

At this moment, I saw outside the window that it was pitch-black already.

At this time, Ding Yinuo had also drunk a bit too much, and it wouldn’t be convenient for him to drive; since Lin Nansheng and Lin Anqi were both eagerly asking me to stay, it was probably best that I stayed.

“Alright then!”

“Then if you need anything, just come to me. If I’m asleep, you can find the housekeeper, Afang.”

“Okay!”

I took the bunch of keys.

After Lin Anqi had arranged everything, she turned and walked out.

After closing the door, I glanced at my cellphone; it was already eleven o’clock at night.

I took a shower, changed into pajamas, and when I came out, I found that there was another person in the bedroom.

It was Ding Yinuo.

“Why are you…”

Before I could speak, Ding Yinuo immediately explained,

“Just now your sister brought me here, she said tonight we’re both going to sleep here.”

“Uh, you…”

“It’s okay, I’ll sleep on the couch… Of course, if you don’t want me sleeping here, I can go to the guest room next door.”

Ding Yinuo’s cheeks were slightly flushed after drinking too much.

But his eyes were still clear; I knew him, this man wouldn’t do anything untoward even when drunk.

On the contrary, making him go sleep on the couch in the living room would invite mockery from Gu Yuanzhou, concern from Lin Nansheng, and alertness from Lin Anqi.

After thinking it over, I let him stay in the bedroom.

I brought him a blanket,

“Alright, you sleep on the couch.”

After he took the blanket, he sat down on the couch.

I sat in front of the dressing table, looking into the mirror as I applied skincare products to my face.

This was my nightly mandatory course, having become a habit.

I spread the lotion over my face, followed by cream, slowly rubbing it in…

Glancing back unintentionally, I saw Ding Yinuo sitting on the sofa through the mirror, his dark eyes fixed intently on me.

There was too much concern in his gaze…

I just took a glance and immediately withdrew my own gaze.

After a moment, Ding Yinuo stood up and took a hairdryer from the bathroom,

“Let me help you dry your hair; it’s so damp… you’ll get a headache if you sleep like this.”

“I’ll do it myself!”

I still wasn’t too fond of his deliberate closeness.

I reached out to take the hairdryer from his hand, but he did not hand it over to me; instead, he gently grasped my hair and began to help me dry it.

I didn’t want to keep resisting him, so I let him be.

His movements were careful and meticulous, as if he was afraid of hurting me.

He dried each strand of hair slowly.

My hair was only half-dried when a knock came from the door.

“The door isn’t locked, please come in!”

I called out to the door.

It wasn’t bedtime yet, and the door wasn’t locked.

I had thought it was Lin Anqi coming over, but to my surprise, it was Gu Yuanzhou who entered.

He pushed open the bedroom door and stood in the doorway, witnessing the scene of Ding Yinuo drying my hair.

For a moment, I saw shock on his face, and a hint of heartrending loss in his eyes.

However, he quickly composed himself.

He strode toward me.

I stood up,

“Mr. Louis, did you enter the wrong room?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He walked around the room and then looked at me,

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to stay here? Why did you agree after all?”

“Oh, does it concern Mr. Louis?”

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at his watch and said nonchalantly,

“I can take you home now!”

I laughed lightly and turned to take Ding Yinuo’s hand,

“Even if I wanted to go back, my husband would drive me home. But, we’ve already decided to stay the night here, so thank you for your kindness, but I won’t be going back.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze was fixed on my hand tightly clasped with Ding Yinuo’s.

He nodded and stepped back,

“Alright, so you won’t go back! Then… before you go to sleep now, do you want to stop by your sister’s place?”

“No, let’s talk about it tomorrow. I don’t feel well now and don’t want to run around.”

“Fine, then have a good night’s sleep.”

Gu Yuanzhou seemed to be looking for some pretext, but after making a round, he realized he had none.

He still stood in my bedroom, unwilling to leave…

“Mr. Louis, can you leave now? It’s getting late, and we want to go to sleep.”

Since a hint wouldn’t work, I made it explicit to him.

Actually, coming to my bedroom in the middle of the night was already quite illogical.

I really couldn’t understand what he was doing here?
