Chapter 372 I've Already Thought of a Reason

Wang Yuanling's eyelashes trembled slightly: "No, that's not what I meant."

She seemed to have found a breakthrough and looked up quickly: "After all, we are partners, and we should help each other."

Gu Zhou nitpicked his words: "Indeed, partners should help each other."

"Yes." She continued smiling.

Gu Zhou raised his chin towards the dish in front of him and said, "Eat, partners, don't just focus on helping each other, the food is getting cold."

He pronounced these eight words in an especially long voice.

Wang Yuanling smiled: "Okay, Mr. Gu."

She started eating, but Gu Zhou's eyes were always on her, making her feel more and more uncomfortable.

I was just about to put down my chopsticks.

Gu Zhou seemed to know what she was thinking and said lazily, "Try the spareribs, they taste good."

The chopsticks hanging in the air had to turn and pick up the piece of ribs.

He glanced at Gu Zhou out of the corner of his eye.

He still didn't take his eyes off her face.

She ate a few more mouthfuls hastily.

I just want to put down my chopsticks.

Out of the corner of my eye I suddenly noticed a dark shadow passing by.

Her eyelashes froze for a moment, then lifted up the next moment.

His lips brushed against the soft, slightly rough tissue.

The pupils flickered.

Meeting his gaze with a deep smile.

"It's a matter of reciprocity," he said.

The moment he removed his hand.

She heard the pounding heartbeat.

A sense of surprise, mixed with a sense of embarrassing defeat, came over me.

He did it on purpose.

Although, she is too.

She tried her best to smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

He replied fluently: "Mr. Ling, you're too polite."

The wind warmed by the sun blew slowly in from the window.

Pass through them.

Roll up the heat.

Brush on the face.

Unbearable hot flashes.

After she finished packing up all the lunch boxes, she calmed down and smiled gently: "Then Mr. Gu, I will go back first."

He didn't say anything.

But he looked at her with a dark look in his eyes.

Don't agree with her leaving?

Wang Yuanling chuckled: "Boss Gu, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Just finished speaking.

He immediately said, "Yes."

She suppressed a laugh and asked, "Excuse me, what is it?"

"There's an important electronic plan that I need to comment on, but my hands right now..." He glanced at the plaster meaningfully.

Wang Yuanling understood immediately: "It's okay, Mr. Gu can tell me the content and I will review it for you."

After saying this, he looked distressed again.

"But there are no computers here. How are we supposed to make annotations?"

Gu Zhou's lips curved up: "There's a computer in the drawer."

Facing her inquiring gaze, he remained calm and composed: "After all, I was worried that I might need to deal with something urgent at the last minute, so I brought my computer with me in advance, just in case."

It’s better to be prepared.

I'm afraid he had already decided to use this method to keep her.

Wang Yuanling smiled and said, "As expected of Mr. Gu, you are so thoughtful."

Gu Zhou accepted her praise without hesitation: "In business, there's no other way."

She took the computer out of the drawer.

When she was about to enter the password, she held the computer with both hands and turned the screen towards Gu Zhou: "Mr. Gu, please enter the password."

Gu Zhou glanced at her lazily and reported a string of numbers.

Wang Yuanling was surprised: "Boss Gu, are you telling me all your secrets?"

Gu Zhou shrugged nonchalantly: "The password for the electronic lock at my door is the same."

Her throat moved slightly.

Gu Zhou, however, was completely unaware that he had crossed a line: "Boss Ling is an important partner of mine. I think it is important for us to maintain trust in each other. What do you think, Boss Ling?"

Wang Yuanling was startled, then smiled gently: "I will definitely live up to Mr. Gu's trust."

She turned the screen around so it faced herself.

After entering the password.

The lock screen is unlocked instantly.

Gu Zhou said lazily: "The first document on the desktop is the investment project of Ocean East City."

Wang Yuanling clicked it.

It's full of confidential data.

She curled her fingertips slightly.

Gu Zhou really believed her.

Even such confidential data is not afraid of being exposed to her.

After I gave him the password to my door, I felt free to express my thoughts.

He did not hide his intention to loosen the soil at all.

She gathered her thoughts and raised her smiling eyes: "It's open, Mr. Gu, how do I change it?"

There are quite a few things that Gu Zhou needs to change.

Almost from the first page to the last page.

Only after the annotations were completed and handed to him for inspection did Wang Yuanling have time to look out the window.

The sun was setting in the west and the light was dimming.

I've spent the whole afternoon here.

His gaze quietly fell on Gu Zhou.

He had deep brows and when he lowered his eyes to focus, the laziness just now disappeared, leaving only a chill.

The dim light from the screen reflected on his well-defined profile, and his fingertips unconsciously tapped the edge of the plaster, making a slight sound.

Her eyes fell uncontrollably on his hand, which was slender and powerful with distinct joints, and at this moment exuded a calmness that seemed to be in control of the overall situation.

"Okay." His low voice was a little hoarse, which made him even more charming for no reason.

She raised her eyes almost immediately, putting on a proper smile again on her face: "Mr. Gu has finished the examination? If there is no problem, I will..."

"There's one more thing I need to trouble you with, President Ling." Gu Zhou interrupted her, his eyes fell on her face again, and his usual laziness quietly emerged again.

"Mr. Gu, please go ahead."

The corners of his mouth raised a casual arc: "I thought about it, and what Mr. Ling said is right. It really saves trouble if you bring my underwear over on the way."

"The password to my door is also XXXXXX. Did you remember it, Mr. Ling?"

Wang Yuanling's heart skipped a beat, but his smile remained unchanged. "Of course I've memorized such an important password. Mr. Gu, what specific underwear would you like to bring? Or should I take care of it?"

Gu Zhou chuckled softly, and that chuckle was like a feather tickling her heart: "I've already troubled Boss Ling enough, how can I have the nerve to ask you to help me clean up with your own hands?"

Wang Yuanling's watery eyes were slightly startled.

He lowered his voice and said, "I'll have Qin Zhu clean it up and put it inside the house, but if Boss Ling wants to help me clean it up personally, that's fine."

She gently curled her fingertips on the skirt and smiled gently: "Then I'd better trouble Qin Zhu to collect it. I'm worried that what I took will not suit Mr. Gu's taste."

Gu Zhou smiled darkly: "Okay, then please trouble Mr. Ling to bring it to me tomorrow."

She hasn't left yet.

He had already planned a reason for her to come over tomorrow.

Wang Yuanling pursed her lips and suddenly felt that she was being led away by him again without knowing it.

What a mistake.

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll bring it to you in person tomorrow. So, is there anything else?"

Gu Zhou said casually: "No more."

She stood up, put the stool back in its place, and stood by his bed again, her brows softening: "Then Mr. Gu, I'll go back first."

Gu Zhou's gaze seemed to have substance, sticking to her pretty face, but he said slowly: "Okay, I really trouble you, Ms. Ling today."

It's quite troublesome.

Her wrists were sore from helping him edit the comments just now.

Really.

If you step through this door, you will fall into his trap.

She chuckled: "Mr. Gu, you're welcome. I..."

"Ding-ling-ling." The ringing of the cell phone interrupted her.

She lowered her eyelashes, saw the caller ID on the screen, and looked up at Gu Zhou.

She suddenly glanced at her reaction.

It made him realize something.

really.

Next second.

She answered the phone and called out softly, "Hello, Brother Zhou?"

Gu Zhou's good mood just now was instantly kicked to the bottom.
