Mr.CEO's Wife Loves Someone Else

After she finished speaking, Gu Lanshan inwardly despised herself. She was obviously so expectant but pretended to be so calm.

Sheng Shi stopped the motion of opening the bathroom door and slowly turned his head.

Gu Lanshan was wearing a camisole nightgown, half-covered by a quilt, yet her chest was still largely exposed. Her skin was fairer than snow. Her slightly curly hair was casually spread out, exuding an indescribable charm. Whether it was because she had just woken up or because the lighting in the room was dim, her eyes were exceptionally bright and jet-black. They were as clear and immaculate as a newborn baby's, particularly innocent.

Sheng Shi stared quietly at Gu Lanshan for a while, the corners of his lips curved, and he said maliciously, "Although I have money, making it isn't easy. I don't need you to serve me while I bathe. Five thousand yuan!"

Gu Lanshan was stunned. The dignified young master of the Sheng Family was actually quibbling with her over five thousand yuan. In an instant, she understood that he was deliberately making things hard for her.

Gu Lanshan bit her lip. If it had been anyone else, she would have retaliated long ago. But with Sheng Shi, she didn't dare... no, it wasn't that she didn't dare, it was more that she couldn't. If she angered him, she wouldn't make any money, and her younger brother was still lying in the hospital waiting for money to save his life.

If bathing didn't work, there was still eating.

Gu Lanshan took a deep breath, blinked nonchalantly, softened her demeanor, smiled sweetly at Sheng Shi, and spoke gently, "You've had quite a bit to drink. Do you want me to get someone to prepare some supper?"

"No need." This time, Sheng Shi rejected her outright, without any hesitation.

Gu Lanshan maintained her smile, nodded dejectedly, and Sheng Shi, seemingly in a much better mood, leisurely pushed open the bathroom door and walked in.

He knew all too well what she was pondering. The rules for accompanying him to sleep, bathe, and eat, with him paying her, were set by him after "that time."

To his satisfaction, she had indeed put a lot of effort into him. But he didn't feel that this life was any happier or more enjoyable. Especially when he thought about how all her actions were because of the money. It made him even more displeased, more frustrated.

Gu Lanshan leaned against the headboard, listening to the sound of the water splashing in the bathroom. She pondered over how to successfully complete the last line of service—accompanying sleep—now that she had been rejected on bathing and eating.

After finishing his bath, Sheng Shi went straight to bed.

The bed was large.

He lay on the other end, keeping a distance between them.

Gu Lanshan lay rigidly and waited for a while. Noticing that Sheng Shi beside her hadn't moved at all, she couldn't help but open her eyes and secretly observe him.

Sheng Shi lay beside her with his eyes slightly closed.

The dim lighting from outside shone into the room, casting a light on his profile, making his already finely chiseled features look even more perfect.

His black hair was a bit messy, and under his long, thick eyelashes were a slightly curling arc. His tall nose below his glossy lips, his jaw slightly tensed, showed some impatience, revealing a sense of arrogance and pride.

Despite this, his appearance was still excessively beautiful and handsome.

It was the kind of impeccably neat beauty and handsomeness, unlike those so-called handsome men of today who either leaned too much towards femininity or whose style was overly flamboyant.
