Chapter 279 I am also a brother
Luo Zidong's earnest gaze was hard to ignore.
Wang Yuanling smiled wryly: "Brother Zidong, what would you like to eat?"
Luo Zidong deliberately leaned towards her to look at the steak in front of her: "What did you order? I think I'll have the same as you."
Wang Yuanling's lips froze in mid-air awkwardly.
Bear it.
I didn't dodge to the side when he approached.
She reached out and decisively placed the plate of steak in front of him.
"I haven't touched it yet, Brother Zidong, you eat first."
As she spoke, she quietly moved a little further to the side.
Look, she's almost touching the inner wall.
Even though her smile was gentle and polite, her physiological rejection was obvious and could not be hidden at all.
Gu Zhou's lips curled slightly, his tone lazy, and he finally spoke to help her divert Luo Zidong's intense gaze away.
"I never thought that Mr. Ling and Mr. Luo actually knew each other. This circle is really small."
Luo Zidong smiled: "Indeed, I was shocked when I saw you two sitting together just now."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually: "Oh? Is it so scary to see me and Ling Zong together?"
"No..." Luo Zidong hesitated to speak, his eyes unconsciously turning to Wang Yuanling.
But she lowered her eyelashes and did not look at him.
Luo Zidong probed: "Mr. Gu, are you meeting Sister Yuan Ling today to discuss business?"
Gu Zhou pursed his lips, saying meaningfully, "It's already been agreed, so isn't Mr. Ling treating me to a meal?"
Finally, he added, "It seems that Mr. Luo and Mr. Ling have a very close relationship?"
"Yes, we have met each other's parents."
These words were three parts ambiguous and seven parts a subtle hint of their close relationship.
Gu Zhou was amused by this stupid behavior of a dog peeing as a mark.
I used to think that Luo Zidong was just a fool and a playboy.
It seems now.
More than just a straw bag.
It's just stupid.
He dragged out his voice: "Meet the parents..."
Luo Zidong was simply in front of the person he liked and didn't want to lose to his same-sex partner who suppressed him in every way.
I deliberately said such an ambiguous sentence.
After all, it is true.
Wang Yuanling had no way to refute it.
Wang Yuanling also understood Luo Zidong's vanity as a man.
Ever since he ignored etiquette and forced himself to sit next to her.
His little intention of showing others that their relationship was "special" was now obvious.
She was thinking about how to make this sentence into the past tense.
Gu Zhou on the opposite side curled his lips and said, "No wonder."
Wang Yuanling was confused and had no idea what was going on.
Luo Zidong was puzzled: "Why not?"
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually: "No wonder she calls you Brother Zidong and you call her Sister Yuanling. It turns out that you are not only friends, but also sworn siblings witnessed by your parents."
Luo Zidong frowned and explained immediately: "We are meeting the parents of both sides, not to become sworn siblings, we are..."
It seemed as if she knew what he was going to say next.
Gu Zhou interrupted at the right time and said jokingly: "It can't be a blind date, right? I remember you had a girlfriend? Oh, you broke up? Are you dating the girl you met at the bar a while ago? I remember you kissed?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Luo Zidong's face suddenly turned ugly.
Finally understanding why Gu Zhou said that, Wang Yuanling pursed her lips and held back her laughter.
Gu Zhou glanced at Wang Yuanling, who was trying to suppress her laughter, and then asked Luo Zidong seriously, "What were you trying to say? What are you?"
Luo Zidong didn't even dare to mention the word "blind date" at this moment.
Seeing Luo Zidong's frustrated look, Wang Yuanling pressed the corners of her lips and narrowed her eyes, "We are not sworn siblings. Brother Zidong is a few years older than me, so I should call him brother. Not to mention, the image of Brother Zidong in my mind is that he is an approachable big brother, so I call him Brother Zidong."
Luo Zidong listened.
My heart sank.
Brother, big brother.
These two names have nothing to do with the blind date partner.
It is impossible.
In the end, Luo Zidong was embarrassed and found an excuse to slip away.
Wang Yuanling looked at the untouched steak.
He raised his fingertips slightly, just about to take it.
Gu Zhou said lazily: "It's cold, why are you still eating?"
Wang Yuanling raised his eyes in surprise.
He turned his head and waved to the waiter.
"Hello sir?"
"The steak is cold. Please bring two more hot ones."
The waiter immediately said: "Okay."
Wang Yuanling frowned slightly: "It's not that cold actually, isn't it a bit of a waste?"
Gu Zhou's voice was casual: "Pack it for your brother Zidong?"
Wang Yuanling paused and laughed dryly, "Mr. Gu is right, steak tastes better when it's hot."
Gu Zhou sneered.
This is really quick to change course according to the situation.
The new steaks were served quickly.
Wang Yuanling just picked up the knife and fork.
The steak in front of me was taken away.
Her knife and fork were still suspended in mid-air.
He looked at Gu Zhou blankly.
He cut the steak skillfully and quickly, then leaned over and put the cut steak back in front of her.
He said: "It's a matter of reciprocity."
Wang Yuanling felt a pang of grief in his heart.
Seeing that she didn't move her fork.
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows: "What? I didn't cut it as well as you did, so you don't want to eat it?"
Wang Yuanling smiled hurriedly: "No, thank you, Mr. Gu."
Thanks for the help in the elevator.
Thank you for your help just now.
Thanks for the steak too.
She picked up the smallest piece of steak and it was just the right size.
The surface is still slightly crispy, but the inside is very soft and tender.
Grilling steak is a test of the chef's control over the heat.
Mainly.
She didn't have to cut it.
She has been used to "serving" others since she was a child.
This was the first time I was 'served' by someone else.
A subtle feeling arose in my heart.
It seems that the black heart is not entirely black.
Enjoy lunch.
Gu Zhou's driver had already driven the car to the side of the road and was waiting.
Wang Yuanling stood aside, watching him get into the car with a gentle smile.
"Goodbye, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou stared at her deeply with his dark eyes.
Wang Yuanling looked confused and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Zhou twitched his lip with interest: "Speaking of which..."
Wang Yuanling immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully: "What?"
He had a casual smile on his face and said quietly, "I'm older than you too, why don't you call me Brother Zhou?"
Wang Yuanling was stunned.
The skill of eloquence is ineffective at this moment.
The automatic door slowly closed.
She watched as Gu Zhou's playful smile gradually disappeared.
The blood beneath the skin seemed to evaporate.
The whole body gradually became warm.
It took a long while before he realized that he had been teased.
Her watery eyes flickered slightly, and she gritted her teeth: "He is a black-hearted person."
-
Back to the group.
Wang Yuanling was concerned about by several employees along the way: "Boss Ling, are you okay? I heard that you fainted from low blood sugar today. You need to replenish your sugar in time."
I guess Anzhu has already packaged her fainting as hypoglycemia.
Wang Yuanling showed gratitude: "I'm fine, sorry for scaring everyone."
After some greetings with the employees.
She stepped into the elevator.
When entering the elevator, there are inevitably some small shadows.
But when I think of Gu Zhou.
She rubbed her jaw unconsciously.
Really, he was so cruel and pinched me so hard.
I didn't have time to look in the mirror just now, so I don't know if he pinched me red.
Her fear was successfully diverted into condemnation of Gu Zhou for not being gentle with women.
This is the elevator.
Suddenly it wasn't so hard anymore.
When An Zhu saw Wang Yuanling, he wanted to report, but when he saw her face, which was even more lively due to the pink color, he was surprised: "Boss Ling, why is your face so red?"
Wang Yuanling's eyes flickered slightly. She placed the back of her hand on her cheek and said dryly, "Maybe it's... the heat."
Yasuke: "Do you need a glass of ice water?"
"No need." She thought of something, and her eyes gradually turned sharp: "Is the elevator malfunctioning?"
An Zhu immediately lowered his voice: "It's Zhou Zhenghai."
