Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

367-369

Chapter 367: What’s Happened?

Gu Xiqiao knew that Jiang Shuxuan had gone out, and could also guess what the heck he had gone to do.

He had been angry at the wedding banquet, and according to his attitude, Gu Xiqiao thought that he would definitely make some sort of move. So when Shu Chen was talking to her and she noticed him slip out of the house, she didn’t say anything.

Shu Chen didn’t stay for long, leaving after not even twenty minutes.

Gu Xiqiao toweled her hair as she looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet was creamy white, a smooth and flawless texture all around. Gu Xiqiao could naturally recognize the jade to be extremely high quality. Its toughness and wear resistance were the strongest among the categories of jade, even the details on it were delicate.

The jade in her hands at least had a thousand years’ worth of history in it.

Gu Xiqiao raised her right hand, then her left, a jade bracelet on each wrist.

Both her hands had a jade bracelet, and while some might think it strange for a person to wear two jade bracelets like that, Gu Xiqiao could only feel that the two bracelets had been customized specially for her. The white sheep-fat jade stood out against her milky white skin, sparkling beautifully.

One was a pale, light blue, while the other was white. Under the light, both bracelets glowed softly with a pale green glow, but what Gu Xiqiao was looking at, was not the appearance of the bracelets, but the energy contained within. She squinted her eyes as she stared at them, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Just when she was in her own world, the door opened with a click.

It was about time Jiang Shuxuan returned, and Gu Xiqiao looked up casually to see Jiang Shuxuan standing at the door.

“Brother Jiang,” Gu Xiqiao greeted, flashing him a smile. Then she walked to the bed, sitting down. She continued to dry her hair while on the bed.

There had been a lot of mixed smells in the banquet hall today, and Gu Xiqiao felt the scent sticking to her dress, and that was the reason she went ahead and took a shower first.

After toweling her hair for a while more, she found it strange that Jiang Shuxuan had yet to say anything since he came in.

She couldn’t help but stop what she was doing, turning to look at him. When her eyes met his deep, dark ones, she paused.

Jiang Shuxuan’s eyes slowly slid downwards from her face, watching the water drip from her hair, sliding down her face and onto her neck, then down her delicate collarbone.

The water droplet sparkled slightly under the light on her collarbone, and Jiang Shuxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly at the sight.

After he had stopped in his steps, he closed the door, turning the lock with a click.

Outside the door, Yu Ning, who had just reached the top of the stairs, saw the door closed and locked. He held the computer in his hands. “…”

“Alright, come on down.” Luo Wenlang called up to him from the bottom of the stairs. “Come and play cards with us. Butler Jiang has informed us that they have arranged rooms for us, so let’s bring some life into the Jiang residence tonight.”

“Yeah.” Yu Ning sighed, then trudged downstairs reluctantly.

He had always been fascinated by network technology. There was a code that he couldn’t figure out, which had only taken Gu Xiqiao two minutes to do it previously, so he wanted to ask her. Unfortunately, when he reached, Jiang Shuxuan was just closing the door!
