Chapter 1450: Capítulo 1450: Chapter 1451: Do You Want Me to Stay

It took him half an hour to clean it thoroughly.

Then he washed her neck and all the places on her hands smeared with paint. After cleaning up, he went to get a towel, picked her up from the bathtub, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her out.

Gao Zhe went to get the hairdryer to dry her hair. He did not sit on the couch, as he was almost completely drenched. She lay on the sofa, her head resting on the armrest, while he bent over, standing beside her and drying her hair.

Once her hair was dry, he went to find pajamas and dressed her.

“Zhenzhen, are there any of my clothes here? I need to change.”

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at him sideways, “No, I threw them away.”

Gao Zhe chuckled softly, “Where did you throw them? Can I pick them up and wear them?”

Lu Zhenzhen wanted to retort with a few words, but seeing how wet he was, dripping with water, she wanted to be more critical of him. However, he was standing on the floor, and the water hadn’t dripped onto the carpet. The words stuck in her throat and she couldn’t say them.

She snorted and turned her head away, “Find them yourself.”

“Okay.”

Gao Zhe went to the wardrobe room. In each property under his and Zhenzhen’s name, clothes are kept, and they regularly hire hourly workers to maintain them, for the convenience of moving in at any time.

He hadn’t expected there to still be his clothes in Lu Zhenzhen’s wardrobe room. After all, the shitty things he did thoroughly disappointed her. But relying on years of understanding her little quirks, he went straight to the innermost cabinet of the wardrobe room.

His clothes were all inside, not hung up, collars had been removed and piled together, all crumpled.

Gao Zhe put the clothes on the hanger, picked a set, and went to the next room to change. When he returned, he wasn’t even wearing socks, walked back barefoot, his steps were very light.

As soon as he reached the sofa, Lu Zhenzhen, who was in a light sleep, suddenly woke up.

“Did I wake you?”

Lu Zhenzhen didn’t speak, didn’t blink, just stared at him, quickly making her eyes red.

Tears could fall at any moment.

Gao Zhe felt extremely distressed. He stepped back a few paces, and with a hoarse voice said, “I made dinner for you, there’s still soup stewing in the kitchen. I’ll turn off the stove when I leave, and bring you a bowl. The rice is in the rice cooker, eat a little. I’ll take all my dirty clothes, keep my phone on, if you need anything, just call me.”

Lu Zhenzhen still stared at him, silent.

After finishing his instructions, Gao Zhe was about to leave. When he reached the door, Lu Zhenzhen suddenly said, “You’ve changed.”

Gao Zhe turned around in an instant, “Zhenzhen, I…”

“Now when you see me naked, you don’t have any wicked thoughts.”

Gao Zhe choked for a moment, stunned for a second, then slightly lowered his head, lips curled as if smiling, but that smile was extremely restrained, disappearing almost as soon as he raised his brows.

He lowered his voice and asked, “Zhenzhen, how do you want me to respond to you?”

Lu Zhenzhen stared at him, “Do you or don’t you?”

“I do.” He replied very straightforwardly.

To outsiders, he seems indifferent to women. Other than some messy scandals, there’s no woman by his side. They think he’s simply afraid of Lu Zhenzhen, but if he didn’t want outsiders to believe that, how could such a thing, damaging to a man’s dignity, spread for so long?

The girl he’s cherished since childhood, loved her down to his bones, wicked thoughts aside, he valued her more than his own life.

Lu Zhenzhen sarcastically said, “You don’t know how to hide it at all.”

Gao Zhe said nothing.

He stood at the door for a moment, not being chased away, boldly walked inside, and kneeled on one knee in front of her.

“Zhenzhen, do you want me to stay?”
