Rebirth: Married a Fake Husband
Chapter 42 Study Room (2 in 1)
As if he had forgotten what happened that day, Gu Ze spent the past few days just like usual, attending the class of old pharmacist Li, doing his own experiments, and taking care of the herbs he grew.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Gu Ze collects data in the garden in the middle of the morning, and the sun shines on the entire garden, and it will be too hot for people to stay below for a while.
The plant is a kind of medicinal material with a growth cycle of only 28 to 30 days, golden hand orange.
This kind of medicinal material has a mild medicinal effect and has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. It blooms small golden flowers, and the slender petals are gathered into pellets, which can be used as a sachet after drying.
When choosing seeds, Gu Ze chose this one on purpose, thinking that the embroidery he learned back then would come in handy.
At that time, I thought that I could make a small sachet, which was a little awkward to hang around my waist. I thought about letting Layton put it in the pocket of his jacket, making it smaller and not visible.
Pure natural medicinal materials are good for the body, and they can also add luster to the banquet, although Layton may not care about these.
Today is No.17, the green plant is already 25 centimeters high, and in about four days, it will grow to about 27 to [-] centimeters, and it will take shape, leaving only flowering.
"Zhengjun, it's time to go back," Jiang Chen held a parasol above Gu Ze's head, trying not to expose the weak Zhengjun to the sun.
Gu Ze was very helpless with his behavior. He said that he was not that fragile, and he would not get sunburned without using an umbrella, but Jiang Chen and Lin Xia insisted on this.
"Well, let's go back now," Gu Ze put away the light screen, and without letting the two of them do anything, he took the folding stool by himself, and walked into the room with them.
The floating scented tea has been prepared a long time ago. Gu Ze doesn't like to drink hot tea recently because of the weather, so he dried it in advance so that the temperature will be just right when he drinks it.
After drinking a cup of warm tea, the heat from being under the sun dissipated.
Looking at the time, it was still early, and it would not be time for Layton to come back.
Thinking that yesterday's experiment hadn't been successful, he had changed to a different medicinal material and prescription to practice his hands in the past two days, so he had to hurry up and practice a few more times, and try to succeed once today.
After entering the laboratory, Lin Xia and Jiang Chen also followed, but Gu Ze didn't say anything.
From that day on, whenever he started the experiment, either Lin Xia or Jiang Chen would follow him, saying it was Layton's order.
Gu Ze knew that it was the injury that made Layton worry that day, so he didn't say anything, and let the two follow him.
Putting his heart and soul into the experiment, when Gu Ze finally succeeded once, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, only Lin Xia was in the laboratory.
"Zhengjun, do you want to rest for a while? It's already eleven fifty." Lin Xia handed over a glass of warm water.
"Thank you," Gu Ze smiled and thanked Lin Xia, really thirsty.
Jiang Chen came in from the outside and said, "Zhengjun, the Lord Baron has arrived home."
Gu Ze nodded, Layton came back earlier than usual these days whether it was noon or night.
Same as before, the two had lunch together, Gu Ze talked a lot less than before, just smiled when he looked at Layton.
After Layton left, Gu Ze sat alone on the sofa in the hall, staring blankly.
It had been six days, and he pretended nothing had happened, and he was unwilling to think deeply about Layton.
But he can't lie to himself like this for the rest of his life. If, if things are really what he thinks, then the real person will be fine.
There are other people in the baron's mansion, the old butler, the gardener, and the servants.
When Layton hurried back that day, Gu Ze knew that Lin Xia should have notified him.
Layton didn't say anything, but he just had a feeling that Layton knew the reason for his abnormality that day.
He has been worried that something will happen to the old butler, and he has been paying attention to it for the past few days. Fortunately, there is nothing unusual about the old butler.
It's fine now, but in the future, Gu Ze is not sure.
As for Layton, it is definitely not a trivial matter to impersonate another person, especially if the other person is a nobleman.
In fact, Gu Ze already had an answer in his heart, he knew it, but he couldn't face this fact yet.
His lips turned pale, Gu Ze suddenly stood up from the sofa, he wanted to take a step but couldn't move.
After a long time, he dropped his hands weakly and sat back on the spot.
He was still cowardly and did not dare to question Layton face to face.
He was afraid that the life he longed for would be a complete fraud, and he thought he had found happiness.
But now it seems that is not the case, as long as this question lingers in his mind for a day, then he will not feel at ease for a day.
The love and cherish shown by Layton made Gu Ze suddenly a little unsure whether it was true or not. He used to be so sure that Layton liked him.
"Zhengjun," Lin Xia's voice interrupted Gu Ze's wild thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ze tried his best to look natural, but Lin Xia couldn't bear to see his pale face.
The general really doesn't care about personnel, and I don't know what he is thinking, and he wants to send the old housekeeper away, isn't Zhengjun even more suspicious.
There is a vague guess in my heart that the general may want Zhengjun to discover his true identity, after all, after this matter is over, the baron's identity will be returned.
But when the time comes, what will Zhengjun do, whether he is willing to go back with the general, sighs in his heart, Lin Xia no longer thinks deeply.
Pretending not to see Gu Ze's sadness, Lin Xia asked Gu Ze with a smile: "Is Zheng Jun going to the manor this afternoon? I heard from them that the firewood flowers introduced from the fourth galaxy will leave at [-]:[-] p.m. It's about to bloom."
Hearing what she said, Gu Ze also remembered the matter of Huoshanhua.
When I ran to the manor all day the previous month, I heard from the people in the manor that the fir tree is a newly introduced flower species this year, and it will bloom in June. He was very looking forward to it at the time.
"Zhengjun, let's go out and relax, the recent experiments and courses are exhausting enough," Lin Xia saw that Gu Ze hadn't spoken, and spoke again.
Gu Ze thought for a while, since staying at home was a bit boring, it would be nice to go out for a walk, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and see together in the afternoon."
Seeing that he was in a slightly better mood, Lin Xia felt relieved.
After watching the beautiful scenery of fir trees blooming, Gu Ze didn't go home immediately, but walked around the manor.
Entering summer, it gets dark and late, looking at the clouds in the sky, the evening wind blows slowly, I feel comfortable all over, and the depression in my heart before has dissipated a lot.
The sun went down, and after Lin Xia and Jiang Chen urged him twice, Gu Ze got into the car slowly. Layton also sent a message before, saying that he would be home soon, but Gu Ze didn't reply.
At the door, Layton was standing there waiting for him. When Gu Ze saw Layton from the car, he lightly clenched his fists and quickly relaxed.
The car door was opened from the outside, Gu Ze watched Layton stretch out his hand towards him, blinked slowly, and then grabbed Layton's hand and got out of the car.
At the dining table, Gu Ze lowered his head and ate quietly, and when he looked up occasionally, he inadvertently saw that Layton had been looking at him, with loneliness in his eyes.
He had never seen such a Layton before. Gu Ze panicked and lowered his head again.
"In a few days, there will be guests visiting," Layton's slightly magnetic and gentle voice sounded.
Gu Ze had no choice but to look up at Layton. Fortunately, Layton's expression was normal.
"Well, do I need to make any preparations?" Gu Ze asked.
Layton shook his head: "Don't bother, just do your own thing, and don't worry about the rest."
Gu Ze nodded, and didn't know what to say. After finishing the little food he had left, he got up and said that he was full.
Layton also put down the tableware, and accompanied Gu Ze out of the restaurant.
In the evening, Gu Ze wasted time in the laboratory and returned to the bedroom very late.
After dinner, he entered the laboratory without letting Layton follow him. Layton had no choice but to go to the study to deal with business and call him if there was anything to do.
As soon as Gu Ze entered the bedroom, the door was pushed open, and it was Layton who came in.
After being speechless for a while, Gu Ze said, "I'm going to wash up." He didn't look at Layton after finishing speaking, and walked to the bathroom with his head down.
After Gu Ze came out, he just opened the door and bumped into Layton head-on. Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise he would have really bumped into him.
Layton refused to let go, Gu Ze had no choice but to go out, and was stuck in the bathroom.
"I want to go out," Gu Ze whispered, with a hint of grievance in his voice.
Layton sighed secretly, sideways out of the way.
After Layton came out, he saw Gu Ze sleeping inside alone, curled up sideways, with his back facing him.
In the past few days, Gu Ze has been unwilling to approach him, and always stays far away, and it is not easy for him to force him.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?" Layton asked suddenly.
Gu Ze closed his eyes, and when he heard Layton's words, he was suddenly at a loss and his body froze.
After waiting for Gu Ze's answer for a long time, Layton stood beside the bed with a hoarse voice: "If you don't want to ask, don't ask. After the guests leave, I have something to tell you."
Gu Ze gripped the quilt tightly, subconsciously wanting to reject this matter, he knew what Layton was going to say.
He has always been cowardly, if the truth of this matter is unacceptable to him, then what will he do.
Hearing the sound of Layton going to bed, Gu Ze lay down again, but was pulled back by a strong arm.
With his back tightly pressed against Layton's thick ironed chest, Gu Ze struggled, but how could he break free with his little strength.
"Don't be afraid," Layton murmured in Gu Ze's ear.
Gu Ze's struggling movements became smaller and smaller, and in the end he stopped doing unnecessary things, and simply closed his eyes, ignoring Layton's whispers in his ear.
Holding Gu Ze in his arms, Layton didn't feel sleepy at all.
He didn't know if Gu Ze would forgive him at that time, and he couldn't be sure how Gu Ze would react, but he was just unwilling to live with Gu Ze for the rest of his life despite his identity and appearance.
That guest was sent by Rost. If Gu Ze knew the real identity of the other party in advance, he might be exposed under tension.
The other party will definitely come to the baron's mansion. When he married Gu Ze, Rost also knew about it. He also spent a lot of superficial effort to persuade the other party to agree. After all, his identity is not just Layton. Ebert.
He knew Gu Ze's uneasiness. The old butler Fry's words made Gu Ze suspicious. The moment he learned about it, he was relieved. When was his first thought to let Gu Ze see his real self.
When he first pretended to be this person, he knew that he would not be able to hide from the old housekeeper for long.
I also thought about whether the kind-hearted old housekeeper would tell Gu Ze after being exposed, or other people who were acquainted with the original body would tell Gu Ze to remind him of some things. Those people's contact with Gu Ze.
It would be easy for him not to let Gu Ze hear something, but he didn't do that. He always wanted Gu Ze to know who he was.
It's not that she never thought about confessing to Gu Ze, but what Gu Ze likes is Leighton Ebert.
Gu Ze himself said that he likes Layton the most, but Gu Ze doesn't like Arno Elwes anymore.
He didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, he was afraid that the result would be unbearable for him, but he was unwilling, so he deceived himself and others, and used such a despicable method to make Gu Ze ask him, so he could take advantage of the opportunity to reveal his true identity .
But when things went as expected, Gu Ze was unwilling to approach him for a few days, which made him terrified.
Since Gu Ze refused to speak first, he could only take the initiative to reveal his identity, and didn't dare to think about what Gu Ze would think of him then.
----
When Gu Ze woke up the next day, Layton was no longer there.
Thinking of what Layton said last night, Gu Ze sat up in silence, leaned against the head of the bed, folded his knees and lowered his eyes, thinking quietly for a while.
After going downstairs to eat breakfast without taste, Gu Ze went to the front garden, not knowing what happened to his golden hands today.
The weather is a bit cloudy today, and the sun hasn't come out yet. Looking at the real-time weather forecast, there will be rain at ten o'clock, and the third-level rain is not small.
Gu Ze took the time to collect the data, and after he was done, he called two male servants over to help him cover this small area with a transparent protective cover. Golden hands don't like rain, and heavy rain will damage his medicinal materials.
After checking it all over, there was nothing missing, so Gu Ze walked into the house. There were more and more dark clouds in the sky, tumbling, dark and depressing. Incomparable.
As soon as he walked into the hall on the first floor, he saw the old housekeeper standing aside, as if waiting for him, holding a box in his hand, and Jiang Chen standing there with the old housekeeper, holding a relatively large box in his hand.
"Master Zhengjun," the two saw Gu Ze salute together.
Seeing this posture, Gu Ze thumped in his heart, and said, "Butler Frye, what are you?"
The old housekeeper smiled bitterly, the wrinkles on his face were very obvious.
"Master Zhengjun, I am going to visit relatives and say goodbye to you. From now on, you should take care of yourself."
The old housekeeper's old voice sounded, and he solemnly bowed to Gu Ze, and his expression calmed down after getting up.
Gu Ze subconsciously wanted to stop the old butler, but the old butler waved his hand, sighed, said nothing, and walked outside.
Outside the baron's mansion, the hover car was already waiting. Old Frye looked back at the mansion where he had stayed all his life, feeling filled with emotion.
"Butler Frye, you will naturally understand when you get there." Jiang Chen saw his sad expression, and comforted him.
Nodding his head, Old Frye got into the car with Jiang Chen, the starship ticket had already been bought, and Jiang Chen sent him to the customs.
In the hall, Gu Ze stood there, feeling his heart tremble.
It was getting darker and darker, the glass door of the hall was open, and the strong wind was blowing in from the outside, mixed with the fallen flowers and leaves in the courtyard.
The servant trotted to close the glass door, and at the same time turned on the chandelier.
Dazzled by the light, Gu Ze raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"Master Zhengjun, are you okay?" A maid's voice came.
After Gu Ze got used to it, he slowly put down his hands, his face was a little pale, but as usual, he said softly, "It's okay."
The maid responded in a low voice and retreated. Gu Ze didn't know where he was going, so he walked upstairs.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, but without the intention of going in, Gu Ze suddenly turned his head to look at the study on the second floor after pausing for a while.
He remembered that Layton had the habit of printing out transaction documents and putting them in his study.
After entering the ephemeris, there are fewer and fewer paper things, but they have never been eliminated. Students use paper books in class. People, they are always nostalgic.
As for business transaction documents, generally speaking, in addition to the electronic version, there will also be a paper version, which varies from person to person. Some businessmen believe that if the data is lost, there will still be a paper version.
Although this kind of situation rarely occurs, most businessmen will do this, and it is also a way to prevent opponents from tampering with electronic data. It is not a big deal to change the amount. If you ask a professional to delete it, the data Can't even recover.
Layton was not there, and no one else was allowed to enter the study, but it was not difficult for Gu Ze, who had all the authority of the baron's mansion, to enter.
After opening the door of the study room, Gu Ze looked around. He didn't come to the study room much, and he didn't have the habit of disturbing Layton's work, so he was relatively new to this place.
I remember seeing Layton put some documents in the safe in the wall behind the desk, Gu Ze walked over slowly, and did not open the safe immediately.
Sitting on Layton's usual chair, he opened the large redwood desk, and there was a folder that Layton looked at the night before. It was full of paper transaction documents, which were export documents for flowers and medicinal materials. , nothing worth noting, Gu Ze closed the document again and put it back where it was.
I didn’t turn on the light when I came in, and the study room was a little dark. Looking out the French windows, the dark clouds were squeezed together and churning. All kinds of lightning appeared.
Below the study is the front garden. Gu Ze saw the wind roll up the fallen leaves and flowers, fly into the air, and whirl.
Turning the chair around, Gu Ze reached out and opened the safe on the wall. It went smoothly and was not blocked. He thought that he would not be able to open the safe, but he didn't.
Looking at the thick stack of documents neatly arranged, Gu Ze only hesitated for a moment before taking out the top stack.
As he flipped through the documents, Gu Ze's face became more and more ugly.
"Military Mecha", "Energy Core", "Fifth Galaxy", "Captain Kabbah"...
Gu Ze knew every word, and every word hit his heart hard. He put down a stack and took some out again, flipping through faster and faster.
A bolt of lightning seemed to be very close, and the light of the lightning suddenly shone in from the floor-to-ceiling window and hit the document in Gu Ze's hand.
Weakly lowering his hands, the documents were scattered all over the floor. Gu Ze leaned back in his chair, staring at so many documents in the safe in a daze.
The lightning became more and more dense. Gu Ze looked out the window. Within a minute, it started to rain heavily. The floor-to-ceiling windows were continuously washed by a large amount of rain. Gu Ze seemed to hear the sound of heavy rain pouring down.
Gu Ze licked his chapped lips, and suddenly felt a little cold.
Looking at the time, it was less than 10 minutes since he came in, but he felt like a long time had passed.
After tidying up the documents on the floor and putting them back in the safe, Gu Ze propped up the desk, planning to stand up, when something flashed in his peripheral vision, and it was just under the desk.
Gu Ze sat back again and looked down. A gun quietly appeared under the table. It should have been touched somewhere just now and triggered the mechanism.
With his palm facing up, Gu Ze took out the gun, glanced at it, and wanted to put it back.
The communication suddenly rang, and Gu Ze was startled. After calming himself down, he turned on the light screen.
It was from Layton.
【The guests arrived early, they will come to the house at noon, and they will go back earlier. 】
Gu Ze pursed his lips tightly, and replied: [Well, I will let the kitchen prepare lunch. 】
Layton: [Okay, wait for me to go back. 】
Gu Ze didn't reply, and hurried out of the study.
After returning to the bedroom, Gu Ze realized that he was still holding the gun in his hand.
Noon came soon, but the rain continued unabated, with a trend of getting bigger and bigger.
But this is nothing to interstellar people who already travel very conveniently.
Layton and the guest he mentioned arrived home on time, and Gu Ze stood on the first floor to welcome them.
Without an umbrella, Gu Ze looked at Layton and the others wearing high-grade protective clothing, covered from head to toe by a transparent mask, and there was no rain on their bodies.
A group of people came in and saw Gu Ze standing here waiting for him, Layton's expression softened.
"Come in, it's very windy here," Layton said warmly, his blue eyes full of warmth.
Gu Ze smiled slightly, said nothing, and greeted the guest. After seeing that the person also saluted him, he greeted the guest to go into the hall.
The person who came was thin, with a well-trimmed mustache and bright eyes. The first time Gu Ze saw him, he didn't like this person from the bottom of his heart. His eyes made people uncomfortable.
"Mr. Gut, this way please." Gu Ze still smiled slightly, and there was no fault in his etiquette.
"Your Majesty Zhengjun, you're being polite," Gut smiled, but looked at Layton, boy, he came out to do a mission and married a daughter-in-law, his fortune is not shallow.
Layton's expression turned cold, and Gut murmured in his heart, why did he change his face and look different? Seeing Layton's expression, his back felt cold.
After thinking about it, he guessed that he probably didn't want to get caught in front of this demihuman. After thinking about it, Gu Te smiled again, but this time, he didn't look at Layton and Gu Ze with that kind of look.
Without chatting a few words, Layton ordered the kitchen to start. The three of them sat down in the dining room, and the formal lunch began. However, the three of them at the dining table ate their meal with different thoughts.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Gu Ze collects data in the garden in the middle of the morning, and the sun shines on the entire garden, and it will be too hot for people to stay below for a while.
The plant is a kind of medicinal material with a growth cycle of only 28 to 30 days, golden hand orange.

Today is No.17, the green plant is already 25 centimeters high, and in about four days, it will grow to about 27 to [-] centimeters, and it will take shape, leaving only flowering.
"Zhengjun, it's time to go back," Jiang Chen held a parasol above Gu Ze's head, trying not to expose the weak Zhengjun to the sun.
Gu Ze was very helpless with his behavior. He said that he was not that fragile, and he would not get sunburned without using an umbrella, but Jiang Chen and Lin Xia insisted on this.
"Well, let's go back now," Gu Ze put away the light screen, and without letting the two of them do anything, he took the folding stool by himself, and walked into the room with them.
The floating scented tea has been prepared a long time ago. Gu Ze doesn't like to drink hot tea recently because of the weather, so he dried it in advance so that the temperature will be just right when he drinks it.

It would be easy for him not to let Gu Ze hear something, but he didn't do that. He always wanted Gu Ze to know who he was.
It's not that she never thought about confessing to Gu Ze, but what Gu Ze likes is Leighton Ebert.
Gu Ze himself said that he likes Layton the most, but Gu Ze doesn't like Arno Elwes anymore.
He didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, he was afraid that the result would be unbearable for him, but he was unwilling, so he deceived himself and others, and used such a despicable method to make Gu Ze ask him, so he could take advantage of the opportunity to reveal his true identity .
But when things went as expected, Gu Ze was unwilling to approach him for a few days, which made him terrified.
Since Gu Ze refused to speak first, he could only take the initiative to reveal his identity, and didn't dare to think about what Gu Ze would think of him then.
----
When Gu Ze woke up the next day, Layton was no longer there.
Thinking of what Layton said last night, Gu Ze sat up in silence, leaned against the head of the bed, folded his knees and lowered his eyes, thinking quietly for a while.
After going downstairs to eat breakfast without taste, Gu Ze went to the front garden, not knowing what happened to his golden hands today.
The weather is a bit cloudy today, and the sun hasn't come out yet. Looking at the real-time weather forecast, there will be rain at ten o'clock, and the third-level rain is not small.
Gu Ze took the time to collect the data, and after he was done, he called two male servants over to help him cover this small area with a transparent protective cover. Golden hands don't like rain, and heavy rain will damage his medicinal materials.
After checking it all over, there was nothing missing, so Gu Ze walked into the house. There were more and more dark clouds in the sky, tumbling, dark and depressing. Incomparable.
As soon as he walked into the hall on the first floor, he saw the old housekeeper standing aside, as if waiting for him, holding a box in his hand, and Jiang Chen standing there with the old housekeeper, holding a relatively large box in his hand.
"Master Zhengjun," the two saw Gu Ze salute together.
Seeing this posture, Gu Ze thumped in his heart, and said, "Butler Frye, what are you?"
The old housekeeper smiled bitterly, the wrinkles on his face were very obvious.
"Master Zhengjun, I am going to visit relatives and say goodbye to you. From now on, you should take care of yourself."
The old housekeeper's old voice sounded, and he solemnly bowed to Gu Ze, and his expression calmed down after getting up.
Gu Ze subconsciously wanted to stop the old butler, but the old butler waved his hand, sighed, said nothing, and walked outside.
Outside the baron's mansion, the hover car was already waiting. Old Frye looked back at the mansion where he had stayed all his life, feeling filled with emotion.
"Butler Frye, you will naturally understand when you get there." Jiang Chen saw his sad expression, and comforted him.
Nodding his head, Old Frye got into the car with Jiang Chen, the starship ticket had already been bought, and Jiang Chen sent him to the customs.
In the hall, Gu Ze stood there, feeling his heart tremble.
It was getting darker and darker, the glass door of the hall was open, and the strong wind was blowing in from the outside, mixed with the fallen flowers and leaves in the courtyard.
The servant trotted to close the glass door, and at the same time turned on the chandelier.
Dazzled by the light, Gu Ze raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"Master Zhengjun, are you okay?" A maid's voice came.
After Gu Ze got used to it, he slowly put down his hands, his face was a little pale, but as usual, he said softly, "It's okay."
The maid responded in a low voice and retreated. Gu Ze didn't know where he was going, so he walked upstairs.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, but without the intention of going in, Gu Ze suddenly turned his head to look at the study on the second floor after pausing for a while.
He remembered that Layton had the habit of printing out transaction documents and putting them in his study.
After entering the ephemeris, there are fewer and fewer paper things, but they have never been eliminated. Students use paper books in class. People, they are always nostalgic.
As for business transaction documents, generally speaking, in addition to the electronic version, there will also be a paper version, which varies from person to person. Some businessmen believe that if the data is lost, there will still be a paper version.
Although this kind of situation rarely occurs, most businessmen will do this, and it is also a way to prevent opponents from tampering with electronic data. It is not a big deal to change the amount. If you ask a professional to delete it, the data Can't even recover.
Layton was not there, and no one else was allowed to enter the study, but it was not difficult for Gu Ze, who had all the authority of the baron's mansion, to enter.
After opening the door of the study room, Gu Ze looked around. He didn't come to the study room much, and he didn't have the habit of disturbing Layton's work, so he was relatively new to this place.
I remember seeing Layton put some documents in the safe in the wall behind the desk, Gu Ze walked over slowly, and did not open the safe immediately.
Sitting on Layton's usual chair, he opened the large redwood desk, and there was a folder that Layton looked at the night before. It was full of paper transaction documents, which were export documents for flowers and medicinal materials. , nothing worth noting, Gu Ze closed the document again and put it back where it was.
I didn’t turn on the light when I came in, and the study room was a little dark. Looking out the French windows, the dark clouds were squeezed together and churning. All kinds of lightning appeared.
Below the study is the front garden. Gu Ze saw the wind roll up the fallen leaves and flowers, fly into the air, and whirl.
Turning the chair around, Gu Ze reached out and opened the safe on the wall. It went smoothly and was not blocked. He thought that he would not be able to open the safe, but he didn't.
Looking at the thick stack of documents neatly arranged, Gu Ze only hesitated for a moment before taking out the top stack.
As he flipped through the documents, Gu Ze's face became more and more ugly.
"Military Mecha", "Energy Core", "Fifth Galaxy", "Captain Kabbah"...
Gu Ze knew every word, and every word hit his heart hard. He put down a stack and took some out again, flipping through faster and faster.
A bolt of lightning seemed to be very close, and the light of the lightning suddenly shone in from the floor-to-ceiling window and hit the document in Gu Ze's hand.
Weakly lowering his hands, the documents were scattered all over the floor. Gu Ze leaned back in his chair, staring at so many documents in the safe in a daze.
The lightning became more and more dense. Gu Ze looked out the window. Within a minute, it started to rain heavily. The floor-to-ceiling windows were continuously washed by a large amount of rain. Gu Ze seemed to hear the sound of heavy rain pouring down.
Gu Ze licked his chapped lips, and suddenly felt a little cold.
Looking at the time, it was less than 10 minutes since he came in, but he felt like a long time had passed.
After tidying up the documents on the floor and putting them back in the safe, Gu Ze propped up the desk, planning to stand up, when something flashed in his peripheral vision, and it was just under the desk.
Gu Ze sat back again and looked down. A gun quietly appeared under the table. It should have been touched somewhere just now and triggered the mechanism.
With his palm facing up, Gu Ze took out the gun, glanced at it, and wanted to put it back.
The communication suddenly rang, and Gu Ze was startled. After calming himself down, he turned on the light screen.
It was from Layton.
【The guests arrived early, they will come to the house at noon, and they will go back earlier. 】
Gu Ze pursed his lips tightly, and replied: [Well, I will let the kitchen prepare lunch. 】
Layton: [Okay, wait for me to go back. 】
Gu Ze didn't reply, and hurried out of the study.
After returning to the bedroom, Gu Ze realized that he was still holding the gun in his hand.
Noon came soon, but the rain continued unabated, with a trend of getting bigger and bigger.
But this is nothing to interstellar people who already travel very conveniently.
Layton and the guest he mentioned arrived home on time, and Gu Ze stood on the first floor to welcome them.
Without an umbrella, Gu Ze looked at Layton and the others wearing high-grade protective clothing, covered from head to toe by a transparent mask, and there was no rain on their bodies.
A group of people came in and saw Gu Ze standing here waiting for him, Layton's expression softened.
"Come in, it's very windy here," Layton said warmly, his blue eyes full of warmth.
Gu Ze smiled slightly, said nothing, and greeted the guest. After seeing that the person also saluted him, he greeted the guest to go into the hall.
The person who came was thin, with a well-trimmed mustache and bright eyes. The first time Gu Ze saw him, he didn't like this person from the bottom of his heart. His eyes made people uncomfortable.
"Mr. Gut, this way please." Gu Ze still smiled slightly, and there was no fault in his etiquette.
"Your Majesty Zhengjun, you're being polite," Gut smiled, but looked at Layton, boy, he came out to do a mission and married a daughter-in-law, his fortune is not shallow.
Layton's expression turned cold, and Gut murmured in his heart, why did he change his face and look different? Seeing Layton's expression, his back felt cold.
After thinking about it, he guessed that he probably didn't want to get caught in front of this demihuman. After thinking about it, Gu Te smiled again, but this time, he didn't look at Layton and Gu Ze with that kind of look.
Without chatting a few words, Layton ordered the kitchen to start. The three of them sat down in the dining room, and the formal lunch began. However, the three of them at the dining table ate their meal with different thoughts.
