Chapter 1618: Chapter 1618: Running into Shen Lingfeng’s Room and Locking the Door

It was just that there was a faint haze of smoke in the room, and between his clean, slender fingers he was holding a cigarette.

She stood at the door for a moment, but was obviously ignored.

She carefully walked over and saw that he was only looking at the computer; she had no idea what file was on the screen.

"Ahem, um..." Gu Ziyou walked over to his side like she always did, only this time she didn’t have the guts to sit on his lap.

"I want to confirm something. We’re not actually broken up right now, are we?" She gently nudged his elbow.

Shen Lingfeng abruptly pulled his arm back a little and deliberately said impatiently, "Don’t touch me."

"Are you really that mad?"

Gu Ziyou stood there again, feeling like a kid being punished to stand.

But he had already started typing on the keyboard.

"I’ll go pour you a cup of coffee!" she said, still in a good temper.

She made coffee for him with practiced ease, but when she was about to go into the study, she noticed an ashtray in the living room, filled with cigarette butts.

Then she remembered that on the nightstand in the bedroom just now, there had also been an ashtray.

She put the coffee down and ran into the bedroom.

Sure enough, she found a lot of cigarette butts in the bedroom ashtray too.

She had brought up breaking up yesterday. Before that, even if she hadn’t come to stay over, she was here most of the time.

She could say for sure that there had never been cigarette butts here.

So all of these were from after she said she wanted to break up yesterday?

Gu Ziyou rubbed her eyes. How annoying, she was crying again.

So after saying they should break up, she wasn’t the only one who was sad and unable to sleep.

Why would he rather stay home smoking than come downstairs and say a few honest words?

Did he really think that just because she was with Li Chaoxi, she could let go that easily?

When Gu Ziyou came into the study again with the coffee, there was no cigarette in Shen Lingfeng’s hand anymore.

In the ashtray beside him lay a cigarette that had only been smoked halfway.

She looked at that cigarette; he must have put it out as soon as she went out, right?

"President Shen, your coffee." Gu Ziyou set the coffee by his hand, and his hand quickly slid away to the side again.

Was he deliberately ignoring her? Or was it because she had her period that he was keeping his distance?

Gu Ziyou decided not to overthink it. Her dark eyes stared at him without blinking. "I just cleaned up all the cigarette butts in your living room and bedroom."

As soon as she finished speaking, his expression tightened even more, as if he really hadn’t wanted her to discover the cigarette butts.

"You really don’t want to talk?" Her voice was still hoarse from crying; even to her own ears, it sounded unbearably aggrieved.

Shen Lingfeng just stared at the screen without blinking. "No time."

Gu Ziyou felt he was infuriating. She was the one who had just been crying her eyes out in misery.

Yet his face was even darker than hers.

He suddenly turned his head and saw that little face of hers twist into a fierce expression.

But even when she was fierce, there wasn’t the slightest bit of intimidation.

"Go to sleep."

"Hmph!" Gu Ziyou lost her patience too and turned on her heel to leave.

She had always been the one clinging to him, and she could get tired too.

Maybe he felt it was unfair that she had misunderstood him as not loving her. But who was it that gave her that illusion? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Gu Ziyou stomped off into Shen Lingfeng’s room, locked the door from the inside, then lay down on his bed and burrowed into his covers.

She touched her still slightly swollen, sore eyes, hugged the blanket, and soon felt herself relaxing.

A whole night of insomnia yesterday had left her in bad shape all day.

She had slept on her desk for ages in the daytime; no one dared come wake her, and yet the sleep had still been awful.

After all the turmoil just now, the biggest weight on her heart had finally dropped. The moment her head hit the pillow, she quickly drifted off into a groggy sleep.
