Chapter 438: Enjoy A Moment of Peace and Escape from Daily Chaos.

“I was wrong.” Shen Qianshu hugged Lin Xiaojuan’s neck. “Babe, I’m so sorry!”
The two men who had just come out of the study room from upstairs both squinted. The two ladies at the ground floor were still looking at each other longingly and rubbing each other’s faces. Ye Ling and Gu Xie looked at each other, looking displeased.
The two of them took quick steps down the stairs. Although they were still walking stably, it was way faster than usual. Shen Qianshu sat up straight instantly and smiled at Ye Ling. “Master, Movie King Gu, finished talking so soon?”
Ye Ling nodded calmly, looking as if he did not want to speak any more about it. Gu Xie was even quieter than him. He looked at Xiaojuan as if he wanted to take her away. He was just about to speak up when Shen Qianshu said, “The weather’s good today. Why don’t we go to the greenhouse and have some tea? It’s been a long time since I showed off my skills.”
Gu Xie and Ye Ling looked at each other again, and they could see the unwillingness in each other’s eyes.
Lin Xiaojuan was excited. “Yes! Sure!”
Gu Xie rubbed his eyes. “Sure…!”
The greenhouse was in the middle of the garden, and it was surrounded by butterfly orchids. There were all sorts of flowers around it too, and many hanging orchids, camellias, and daffodils flourished in the greenhouse. The flowers were exceptionally beautiful.
There was a nice scent in the greenhouse. The temperature in the greenhouse that Butler Luther had designed was just nice. A lot of flowers that were out of season still bloomed beautifully. The flowers that the gardeners groomed were even more beautiful. It brought life to the boring place while the outer area was covered in snow; it was really beautiful. Shen Qianshu loved the greenhouse. She often read and rested here for the entire day to escape from the daily buzz of life.
“What a huge patch of butterfly orchids you guys have. Are these the butterfly orchids you bought when you were choosing Christmas trees?”
“Yeah.”
“They’re pretty. How random…”
“I specially picked this as a Christmas gift for Master!”
“… Hahahaha!” Lin Xiaojuan responded.
Don’t you feel guilty? This clearly looks like you just closed your eyes and picked it randomly.
Gu Xie and Ye Ling were bored, so they played chess in the greenhouse. Tong Hua sat beside Ye Ling and watched them closely. He knew the basics to chess, but he was no expert in it. He looked up and asked, “Daddy, can you teach me when you’re free?”
“Sure.”
Gu Xie took a quick glance at Tong Hua. The word ‘Daddy’ came out of his mouth so naturally.
Gu Xie remembered the rumors from yesterday: Ye Ling had been forcefully kissed by a man in the underground casinos. That man was someone protected by Ghost City, and he was called Old Qian. He was the ‘God of Fortune’ in underground casinos, and he received a lot of benefits from Ghost City.
The news had been going around really quickly.
But Ye Ling and Shen Qianshu… What’s going on?
Gu Xie had been acting in dramas and movies from a young age. He was really good at coming up with scenarios. He could come up with many revengeful scenarios and even scenarios from a bisexual person’s point of view in a matter of minutes. He looked at Ye Ling. He doesn’t seem like someone who would have multiple partners and definitely does not seem bisexual either.
Gu Xie asked, “Mr. Ye, did you have fun at the casino yesterday?”
“Pretty good.” Ye Ling looked at him. Gu Xie nodded and did not press on any further.
Tong Hua laughed hysterically like a chicken beside them. He hugged Ye Ling’s arm and shook uncontrollably. He could really laugh at the joke they made yesterday until he was 20. “Hahaha, I’m dying from laughing.”
“Shut up!” Ye Ling slapped him on the head.
Tong Hua asked, “Uncle, did you hear the rumors about him being gay?”
“…” Gu Xie looked at Tong Hua.
“He’s a bisexual and also a douchebag. Please don’t be like him.”
“…” Gu Xie stared at Tong Hua.
Uhh… What’s going on?
