Chapter 161 also assisted her

Huo Nanchen let go of her and lay back on the bed. He then closed his eyes again, allowing Gu Ruochu to heave a sigh of relief.

Gu Ruochu went into the changing room and changed, but she did not return to her room. Instead, she went straight downstairs. Even now, her mind was still a little blank. She did not dare to recall what had happened last night.

"Ruochu, why are you down so early?"

As she got into the dining room, a servant was bringing breakfast out of the kitchen.

Mrs. Huo had always been an early riser. When she saw Gu Ruochu come down at six o'clock, she was surprised. Shouldn't the husband and wife have been together last night?

Last night, she had personally witnessed them drink the red wine that Huo Zijun had drugged.

Could it be that the medicine had lost its effect?

That was impossible!

"I had to leave the house early today, so I woke up earlier than usual." Gu Ruochu sat at the dining table and grabbed a piece of bread.

Her true intention was to go to the training class early so that she could avoid Huo Nanchen.

Mrs. Huo did not know what Gu Ruochu was thinking. She knew that she was attending the director's course and had offered her support.

Not long after, Huo Zhenggang and Old Lady Huo came downstairs. Even Huo Zirui, who had always loved to sleep in, woke up early.

In the past, everyone had breakfast at different times.

It was unusual that almost all family members were having breakfast at the same time.

"Ruochu, isn't Nanchen coming down yet?" Old Lady Huo saw that Gu Ruochu was alone and her eyes flashed with a kind smile.

Gu Ruochu felt a little guilty. After all, she was the one who abandoned him upstairs.

"Yes, he still wants to sleep for a while."

Just as Gu Ruochu had finished speaking, Huo Nanchen came down the stairs. He had taken a shower and his hair was a little wet. However, he had an unsatisfied look on his face.

Mrs. Huo could not help but click her tongue when she saw this. Meanwhile, Gu Ruochu's expression almost stiffened under her mother-in-law's understanding gaze.

Huo Nanchen walked over and sat next to Gu Ruochu.

"Why did you come downstairs alone?"

He placed his hand on her thigh. The warm sensation was hard to ignore. Gu Ruochu's body stiffened, and she was surprised that he was repeating his actions from last night.

Was this the same serious and calm Huo Nanchen she knew?

Was this something that he would do?

He was sitting very close to her. His handsome face was right in front of her, and his hand was rubbing her thigh. He was acting like a hooligan.

With the tablecloth blocking the view, no one else could see Huo Nanchen's actions.

"I wanted to come down early for breakfast."

He turned his head and narrowed his deep eyes. His magnetic voice whispered into her ear.

"Didn't you want me to come down for breakfast, or were you afraid that I would let you touch me again?"

Gu Ruochu was dumbstruck.

What the f*ck!

Gu Ruochu felt as if all the blood in her body was about to rush to her face. She was wrong. She should not have flirted with him from the beginning. Now that he had flirted back, she was not in control of the situation.

Why was he so flirtatious now?

Could it be that he had been a hooligan all along, and his cold act was just his cover?

"..."

Huo Nanchen seemed to think that their relationship was now a matter of course after last night.

"Let's eat breakfast." Gu Ruochu felt everyone's gaze was on them. She was not as shameless as her husband and expressionlessly stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth.

Strangely, Huo Nanchen did not get angry. Instead, he began to eat his breakfast.

Mrs. Huo understood that the couple must have undergone a qualitative change last night. They had finally begun to be intimate. Huo Zirui laughed coldly. He never thought that his actions would have assisted his sister-in-law.

Gu Ruochu was quite capable.
