Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Can’t Do It

Don’t blame Li Ruhai’s expression for having implications; it’s hard for people not to speculate when a man and a woman share a room. Gu Qili couldn’t possibly explain to everyone that they had to live together because it was the only room left in such a big hotel.

Mu Shuoqian drank half a bottle of red wine at dinner, only eating a little bit of foie gras and steak, and he went to wash up as soon as he entered the room.

Gu Qili wanted to watch TV, but to her surprise, there was no sofa in the suite, only two pitiful chairs—she had originally planned to sleep on the sofa.

After discovering there was no sofa, she suddenly became nervous; her previously feigned composure vanished.

There was only one bed in the room, creamy white painted wood with carved headboard outlined in gold, and the bedding was all brand new, not yet used.

Thinking about having to stay together like this for the next week, she couldn’t control her heart rate from accelerating.

Gu Qili couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild, and immediately covered her face feeling ashamed when her thoughts turned embarrassing, her palms turning red from the heat.

Although Mu Shuoqian is excessively handsome, stay calm, stay calm.

"Why are you covering your face?" The suddenly intensified aura next to her made her heart skip a beat.

Mu Shuoqian had finished his bath, wearing only a white bathrobe, his hair still damp, meticulously wiping it with the towel in his hands.

Gu Qili peeked through her eyes, hastily glanced at him, and mumbled under her covered mouth, "I’m thinking."

Covering your face to think?

He snorted softly, turning to go to the bedroom.

Gu Qili sighed deeply, feeling increasingly nervous, especially after he had taken his bath.

However, he seemed completely unperturbed, as if she was the only one overthinking, while he maintained his integrity.

"Aren’t you going to take a shower?" A dissatisfied voice came from inside the room.

Gu Qili hurriedly responded, rushing into the bathroom.

Hearing the bathroom lock click twice, Mu Shuoqian flipped open the blankets and got into bed, shortly afterward, a pajama top was thrown out.

He rested his head on his arm,

The room was very quiet, so quiet that the clear sound of a heartbeat was audible, like a drumstick forcefully hitting a drum, each beat with great effort.

The waiter had brought the remaining half bottle of wine ahead of time, he reached out to take a big gulp of the wine, slowly calming the nerves that had been at the bottom of his heart.

His face involuntarily started to heat up, his body radiating an unusual glow.

What displeased him was, after having the sofa removed from the living room, he was now considering getting a smaller bed.

Gu Qili came out of the bathroom, sneaking a peek into the bedroom. She saw Mu Shuoqian looking sanctimonious, leaning against the headboard and looking at his phone,

She thought about watching TV to pass the time, but just as this thought emerged, she heard his slightly impatient voice: "We have a meeting tomorrow, and I don’t want you falling asleep during it."

She responded with an ’Oh’, obediently entering the room.

Mu Shuoqian lifted his gaze from the phone, coldly stating, "Don’t worry, I’m not someone who takes advantage of others easily."

Gu Qili thought, how credible is that statement?
