Chapter 324 Complaint

I had carefully prepared to treat him to sushi.

Gu Zhou was obviously dissatisfied with this "meticulousness".

After all, he later questioned her purpose in approaching him.

But now.

And brought it up from his mouth again.

The feeling is very different from before.

It also gave her another inexplicable, sticky feeling...

When I realized what it was.

Wang Yuanling's breathing suddenly stopped.

Thoughts surged in his eyes.

My heart beat fast as I met his deep, unblinking black eyes.

Eye contact.

Something is burning.

The temperature of their gazes rose sharply.

The food was served just in time.

The noise of the food being served separated them from looking at each other.

An Lianhe was busy instructing the servants to put those sweet dishes in front of Wang Yuanling.

I didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between them.

"Yuan Ling, please try these plum pork ribs."

"Okay, aunt." Wang Yuanling's wandering attention was pulled back. She picked up the serving chopsticks with her fingertips, stood up, picked up a piece of pork ribs with plums and was about to hand it to An Lianhe.

An Lianhe immediately said: "Oh, no, no, auntie can do it herself."

Wang Yuanling smiled gently: "You're welcome, Auntie."

As soon as he finished speaking, the plum pork ribs fell into An Lianhe's bowl.

Wang Yuanling did not sit down.

He picked up another piece and put it into Gu Zhou's bowl.

Meeting his distracted black eyes.

She smiled sweetly: "Mr. Gu, thank you again for inviting me."

Gu Zhou responded indifferently: "Yeah."

Wang Yuanling then picked up a piece for himself and sat down.

She lowered her eyelashes and tasted the plum ribs. She looked up with bright eyes and said, "Auntie, thank you. These ribs are really delicious."

An Lianhe's eyes curved with a smile: "As long as it suits your taste, eat more, child. You have to eat your fill when you come here. Don't be polite. Ah Zhou, and the sour and vinegar fish, give them all to Yuan Ling."

Wang Yuanling's eyelashes trembled slightly: "You're welcome, I can do it myself."

She had just finished speaking.

There was an extra piece of sour and vinegar fish in the bowl.

Following that, there are the dishes next to it, next to it, and next to it.

The first bite went into her bowl, piling up into a small hill.

She was stunned.

He hurriedly whispered, "Mr. Gu, thank you, it's OK!"

Only then did Gu Zhou put down his chopsticks and calmly taste the soup in the stew pot.

Wang Yuanling looked helplessly between the mountain of vegetables and Gu Zhou's relaxed expression.

I was shocked: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Zhou cherishes gold as much as words: "Eat."

An Lianhe clasped her hands together, resting her elbows on the table, and looked at Wang Yuanling curiously. "Yuanling, although I've only heard about it briefly, I know that the land you acquired is very valuable. You should have many partners. How did you come up with the idea of ​​collaborating with us, Azhou? When did you two meet?"

Wang Yuanling smiled gently, "It's true that many people have approached me for cooperation, but Mr. Gu's ability, talent, and vision far surpass others. That's why I came to him to seek cooperation. Don't worry if you laugh at me, I put in a lot of effort to meet him."

Gu Zhou casually lifted his eyelids and looked at her with deep, scrutinizing eyes.

Even though I could sense his gaze out of the corner of my eye.

Wang Yuanling continued to smile, "I contacted many friends and finally asked a friend who really knew Mr. Gu to arrange a dinner with him and several other executives in the industry, but..."

She has a soft and melodious voice.

An Lianhe's curiosity was instantly piqued: "But what?"

Wang Yuanling's gentle smile suddenly turned a bit mischievous: "But when we first met, Mr. Gu was a little harsh on me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhou sneered with an ambiguous tone.

The little fox began to complain.

An Lianhe didn't even bother to glance at Gu Zhou. Her heart was tied to Wang Yuanling: "There's this matter? How is Ah Zhou being so harsh on you?"

Her tone was soft, with a hint of pity at being bullied: "I sincerely wanted to invite Mr. Gu to dinner, but Mr. Gu kept questioning my intentions. Later, I went to Mr. Gu's office in person and waited for a whole day, but in the end, I still didn't get to see Mr. Gu. I guess Mr. Gu is too busy and can't spare the time to meet with a small person like me."

Gu Zhou raised the corners of his lips.

In the office, he deliberately stood her up.

It seems that he still holds a grudge.

An Lianhe frowned: "A Zhou, is this true?"

Gu Zhou looked at her with a smile.

He took in the cunning in her eyes and said meaningfully, "After all, I don't have Ling's natural ability to make people familiar with others. When facing strangers, I am always more cautious. Ling, please forgive me."

Wang Yuanling was shocked by the intimidation in his black eyes.

Changing the subject, his eyes curved like a half-moon, "That's why I admire Mr. Gu. He's steady and thoughtful. He's a great partner."

What you said is really flattering.

But her quiet and gentle smile transformed this flattery into a pleasant compliment.

There was a gloomy look in Gu Zhou's eyes, and an inscrutable curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He spoke lazily, "I also admire Mr. Ling's...ability to adapt."

Wang Yuanling ignored the ambiguity and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

An Lianhe observed the two of them and said, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it tastes better when it's hot."

Wang Yuanling said softly: "Okay, auntie~"

She lowered her head and finished the remaining half mountain of rice in the bowl.

I finally finished eating.

New sour and vinegar fish was added to the bowl.

She looked at Gu Zhou in surprise.

He calmly picked up a piece for himself and said in a leisurely voice, "Don't you want to eat two more bowls of rice?"

Wang Yuanling then remembered that he was in the flower shop.

Gu Zhou suggested a method for her to use to show her sincerity instead of sending supplements.

I have to eat this fish.

After all, if you don’t eat it, it means you are not sincere.

She could only grunt and continue eating.

only.

I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all.

Because Gu Zhou kept picking up food.

She sent signals both overtly and covertly: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, it's enough to eat, really enough."

But Gu Zhou turned a deaf ear.

He continued to pass food to her.

Even though she hinted with her eyes that she was really full.

But he still couldn't see.

He never stopped picking up the food.

Wang Yuanling couldn't bear it any longer, so she grabbed the cloth at Gu Zhou's elbow under the table.

Feel the pulling force.

Gu Zhou raised the corner of his lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "I haven't even finished two bowls of rice yet."

As soon as the words fell.

She glared at me.

Those bright eyes were filled with anger and became more watery.

Instead of being afraid, the stare made people feel itchy in their hearts.

Keep teasing.

The little fox is getting angry.

He knew when to quit.

He smiled carefreely and lowered his voice: "Eat as much as you can, and don't eat if you can't finish it."

Wang Yuanling ignored these words.

Of course not.

It would be so impolite if the host found a pile of food in the bowl.

She emptied the food in the bowl.

Gu Zhou glanced at the empty porcelain bowl and chuckled softly.

Finished the meal.

An Lianhe invited her back to the hall for tea.

They chatted lively, speaking a few words here and there.

Compared to Gu Zhou, who was left out and smoking with a lazy look on his face.

The intimacy between the two of them is more like a blood relationship.

Chatting and chatting.

They talked about the same old topic, and An Lianhe asked with a smile: "Yuan Ling, do you have a boyfriend?"

Gu Zhou took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at her through the smoke.

She smiled lightly and shook her head: "Auntie, I don't have a boyfriend."

An Lianhe immediately said, "That's perfect. The sons of the sisters who play mahjong with me are all tall, rich and handsome men of your age. They have also started successful companies. Do you want me to help you get them together?"

The ash in Gu Zhou's hand suddenly fell, and the bluish-white smoke filled his eyes, and his inner emotions became increasingly dark and difficult to discern.
