At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor.
Qiao Nian turned around and saw Gu Zhou walking in. She met Gu Zhou's intriguing gaze.
Gu Zhou's gaze fell on Qiao Nian's arm, which was still bleeding.
At this moment, the butler walked over. Gu Zhou said coldly, "Lock it in the cage."
The snake seemed to realize that it had done something wrong. It sat there aggrievedly, unmoving. It allowed Butler Zhao to lock it up.
Qiao Nian frowned.
The girl, who had been too shocked, seemed to have only just come back to her senses. Weeping pitifully, she said in a weak voice, "Brother Gu Zhou, I'm so scared."
With that, the girl prepared to throw herself into Gu Zhou's arms.
Gu Zhou frowned. Under his suffocatingly cold gaze, the girl stood rooted to the ground in fear.
"Brother Gu Zhou…"
Gu Zhou's expression was abnormally dark. His eyes were ice-cold as he asked impatiently, "Who are you? Why are you in my study?"
