CH 42

Gu Mian’s mentality was much stronger than that of ordinary girls. Although she was a little uncomfortable after receiving the bloody limb the previous night, she soon adjusted.

After going to bed, Gu Mian tossed and turned several times and then fell asleep. She didn’t have nightmares at night.

The quality of sleep at night was good. Gu Mian woke up as soon as it was dawn. It was just early six o’clock. Most of the residents on that floor were still asleep and there was no one else in the corridor except them. It was very quiet.

That was why Gu Mian was so surprised when she saw Lou Che. Did he stay there all night and not sleep?

Lou Che raised his hand, squeezed his eyebrows and hummed softly.

Although he had already reported to the police, he was still not at ease. He was worried that the person who gave the fake delivery would return and make some terrible move. That person might not really trouble Gu Mian again but just in case, if something happened, it wouldn’t be too late.

It was always better to be careful.

Gu Mian knew why he stayed by the door of her room all night. It was for her safety.

He was worthy of being the protagonist with the most support from readers. He was attentive and responsible and was good to his fans.

As he hadn’t slept all night, Lou Che had a slight tiredness on his face and thin stubble appeared on his chin. That didn’t reduce his handsomeness, but made him more masculine. Gu Mian pursed her lips, “You can go back to sleep now.”

Lou Che slowly straightened up from the wall. 

He asked, “Are you going to have breakfast?”

The supper they bought the previous night was thrown away and she didn’t eat at all. So after one night, Gu Mian was indeed a little hungry.

Gu Mian nodded.

Lou Che brushed his somewhat messy hair, “Wait for me.”

He went back to his room. After ten minutes, Lou Che appeared again.

He should have taken a hurried shower after returning to the room. His black hair was still wet and his beard was shaved. When he walked over, he still had the smell of fresh shower gel and aftershave.

The tiredness had disappeared from his face. His eyes were clean, his clothes were neat, as if he could appear in the camera at any time. She couldn’t tell that he hadn’t slept all night.

“Let’s go and have breakfast.”

Gu Mian pointed to his wet hair, “Don’t you need to blow dry it?”

Lou Che said, “My hair is short and it dries quickly.”

They entered the elevator. Lou Che didn’t wear a hat, glasses or a mask and revealed a handsome face with sharp edges and corners. 

She asked, “Don’t you need to be fully disguised?” 

She didn’t have the consciousness of being a celebrity yet, but didn’t the average superstars always go to places in disguise?

Lou Che was stunned, “No need, this hotel has been booked and outsiders can’t come in now.”

The outsiders naturally included all reporters, so they didn’t need to worry about their privacy now.

Guests staying in couldn’t be driven away, but the identity of all guests had been verified and there was no problem. The hotel wouldn’t take new guests until the crew left.

Gu Mian was taken aback. Booked the hotel?

“Because of… me?” Gu Mian wasn’t narcissistic, but everything was fine when they checked in the previous night. No one said that they booked the whole hotel. After she faced the horror, the hotel was booked. No one would believe that it had nothing to do with her.

The crew was responsible for the safety of their personnel. But Lou Che should have paid for the hotel.

Lou Che only said, “Safety comes first.”

Although Lou Che hadn’t yet returned to the Cheng family and grew up only in the old and ruined old city, some things were inherited. For example, his dignified and natural domineering characteristic.

Usually, he was indifferent and cold and didn’t care about many things. But when he should be domineering, he never was shaky.

The breakfast was delicious and hearty. It wasn’t from the hotel’s chef, but from outside.

Seeing the small portions, but the extraordinarily exquisite breakfast, Gu Mian knew that it was Lou Che’s work again. Unexpectedly, in just one night, after Lou Che said “If you believe in me, leave it to me”, he really arranged everything perfectly.

He stood at the door all night to personally ensure her safety; booked the entire hotel to prevent reporters and unknown persons from disturbing her; and bought a rich breakfast from outside.

Gu Mian was hungry so she had a good appetite. Shrimp dumplings and other small snacks, each one was not big, one bite. She tasted each small snack. When she finished eating, she realized that she had eaten too much.

Lou Che’s movements were very elegant and he didn’t make a lot of noise. Every move was pleasing to the eye.

He would raise his eyes to look at Gu Mian between intervals and when he saw her eating fast and much, he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the slight smile under his eyes.

She had such a good appetite and her mood shouldn’t have been affected by what happened.

The crew had to rush to the next city for a road show. With different schedules, some didn’t participate in the next stop of the roadshow, but went to catch their own projects. This was also very common.

Kan Yangyang also didn’t go to the next city road show with Gu Mian. After she became popular through the movie “Ask the Immortals”, her projects suddenly increased. She had been doing nothing for several months of the year, but now her schedule for the next few months was full.
