breakfast.

So she'll come tomorrow morning?

Gu Zhou pursed his lips tightly to prevent the corners of his mouth from turning up.

He even used his plastered hand to shrink inward and try his best to block the phone.

With her eyelashes drooping, a smile flickered in her eyes. She didn't respond directly, but brushed off the question: "Follow Master Ling's arrangements."

Wang Yuanling: [Okay, then I'll buy it based on what you see.]

He replied simply: [Thank you.]

Then lock the screen.

He looked up again, his face calm.

Chen Guan talked about all sorts of things for a long time before he was willing to leave.

He stood up and stretched. "Hey, let's go, Azhou. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Gu Zhou said lazily: "No, you're noisy."

Chen Guan immediately pointed at Gu Zhou and complained to Tan Wenzhou: "Look at him! He ate my grilled fish and turned his back on me."

Tan Wenzhou smiled and said, "Xiao Guan, you go first. I'll talk to A Zhou for a while."

Gu Zhouyou glanced at him.

Chen Guan was puzzled: "If you don't leave, then you won't have to take a taxi later? Well, I have a lot of cars in the garage, but you refused to drive one. It's so inconvenient for you to be without a car all day."

Tan Wenzhou said softly, "It's okay. It's very convenient to take a taxi. Parking spaces in China are too scarce."

Chen Guan: "That's right. Parking lots abroad are so spacious. In China, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. There's no comparison. Okay, you two can chat. I'm sleepy, so I'll go back first."

Tan Wenzhou smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Chen Guan closed the door of the room.

In the ward.

Without Chen Guan, who talks so much.

Suddenly, a strange silence fell.

Gu Zhou leaned back in his chair, his eyelashes half-raised, his eyes unfocused.

He didn't speak first.

Waiting for Tan Wenzhou to speak.

Tan Wenzhou turned his head and poked the glasses frame with his knuckles. Beneath the glasses frame, which was slightly reflected by the light, were eyes filled with deep meaning.

"Azhou, from listening to how you and Yuan Ling met, it seems that Yuan Ling has been helping you the whole time."

Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually: "Really?"

Tan Wenzhou's cheeks tightened as he considered, "She's always been like this, very friendly to everyone and always willing to help when she can."

He seemed to want to remind him.

Wang Yuanling helped him because of his nature, not for any other reason.

Gu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice: "Oh? Was she this kind-hearted before?"

"Yes, she always has. I think she really values ​​cooperation, so she helps you repeatedly. Maybe she's worried about problems with the project."

Gu Zhou's expression was dull: "It's normal. After all, I'm worried too."

Tan Wenzhou hesitated to speak, but finally stood up with a faint smile: "Okay, I won't disturb your rest."

Gu Zhou nodded lazily: "I am indeed sleepy."

Tan Wenzhou smiled and said, "Then you should wash up and rest early."

Gu Zhou responded lazily.

Wait until the ward door is closed again.

A hint of sadness flashed across his dark eyes.

Instinctively, he reached into his trouser pocket to take out the cigarette case.

But it was in vain.

"Worried about cooperation?" He nitpicked.

The scene of him imitating her and using a tissue to wipe her mouth, and her watery eyes filled with astonishment, appeared in front of his eyes again.

After a while, he chuckled softly.

rounding.

She worried about her partners.

Isn't that the same as worrying about him?

Whatever the purpose.

At least she came.

Come here on your own initiative.

Gu Zhou let out a breath and felt much more relieved.

-

Wang Yuanling came with breakfast in the morning.

The bed was empty.

And from the bathroom, there was the sound of running water.

Gu Zhou is taking a bath.

She glanced at the bathroom door and put everything in her hands on the edge of the sofa.

As for breakfast, it is placed on the coffee table.

Sit down immediately.

Sit for a while.

There was the sound of a door lock opening.

She supported herself on the sofa and stood up instinctively.

When she met his dark eyes, she smiled gently: "Good morning, Mr. Gu."

She smiled, but her eyes fell on the middle button of his hospital gown.

Wrong button.

He didn't seem to notice.

"What did you buy?" Gu Zhou casually glanced at the takeout bag on the coffee table.

The logo above says Tea House.

It seems I bought Cantonese breakfast.

She smiled and said, "I bought some snacks. This place is famous for its shrimp dumplings and steamed buns."

She said, even taking out a portable tea set from her bag.

Gu Zhou's lips curved up, and his eyes looking at her were full of meaning: "Boss Ling, you are so attentive in taking care of people. I have to admit that you are better than me."

Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said, "I just wanted to make Mr. Gu enjoy his meal more."

Gu Zhou walked confidently in front of her.

He stood still, his dark eyes narrowed.

Height difference.

It made her raise her chin and meet his dark eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up casually, and his voice was low and inexplicably bewitching in the quiet environment: "Boss Ling is so considerate, I think many people will like you because of this."

She smiled faintly: "It is my honor to be praised by Mr. Gu."

It's still a beautiful speech.

But I couldn't handle him.

"But isn't Ling afraid of being so popular that he gets harassed?"

Wang Yuanling's eyes moved slightly.

Pondering his words.

Her eyes were filled with frankness. "I don't have that concern. It's just a matter of etiquette. It's nothing to worry about. No one would like me enough to pester me because of it. I'm not that charming."

Gu Zhou's smile was unclear: "Mr. Ling, don't underestimate yourself. Maybe it really exists, but you just haven't discovered it. So, assuming that there is such a phenomenon, what would you do?"

She smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons. "I'm very dull. If this situation really happened, I hope the other party would tell me clearly. Otherwise, I would always be kept in the dark, not knowing why, and miss out on his affection. After all, maybe I have feelings for him too."

Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows calmly.

He changed the subject naturally: "What kind of tea did you bring?"

Wang Yuanling smiled lightly: "Compared to this, Mr. Gu, your button problem may need to be dealt with first."

Gu Zhou's eyebrows were unfocused: "What buttons?"

She raised her slender fingertips and pointed them at his abdomen.

Gu Zhou followed her gesture and moved down.

I saw a button that was buttoned incorrectly.

He said lazily, "It's inconvenient to button with one hand, so it's normal to make mistakes. Thank you, Mr. Ling, for reminding me."

After he said that, he moved his toes and was about to turn around.

Wang Yuanling said softly, "Boss Gu."

She met Gu Zhou's gaze with a smile.

"Your hands are inconvenient. If you don't mind, I'll help you."

Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows, his eyes as dark as a deep pool: "You help me?"

He pronounced his words with great emphasis, and these three short words carried unusual meanings.

She smiled as usual, without any selfish motives, only sincere care, and knew when to advance and retreat: "If I have offended Mr. Gu, please ignore what I said."

The corners of his mouth curled up: "How can this be considered an offense?"

No objection.

That's consent.

Wang Yuanling lowered her eyelashes, her gaze fell on his buttons, and she said softly, "Excuse me."

Gu Zhou stared at her as she approached.

The fiery gaze slid from her thin curved eyebrows to her long eyelashes, straight nose tip, and pink lips, which were shiny and full.

Like a peach, waiting to be picked.

Gu Zhou’s vision grew darker, and his protruding Adam’s apple rolled heavily down his neck.

She gathered her pink fingertips and lifted the hem of her hospital gown.

Start from the bottom.

He unbuttoned the buttons one by one, the ones he had deliberately buttoned incorrectly.
