Chapter 383 The Contrast

Neon lights streamed outside the car window.

They weaved in and out of the evening rush hour traffic.

On the radio, the host told a joke.

They laughed at the same time.

The same joy filled the car.

Her fingertips gripping the steering wheel curled slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

I was caught off guard and met his deep gaze.

He was looking at her.

Her heart was instantly beating fast.

Feeling guilty, he looked away.

It seems like after coming out of the revolving door.

His eyes never left her face.

When you step into the mall.

The loose hair on her forehead was slightly blown by the air conditioner at the entrance.

His gaze was fixed on a group of carts stacked on top of each other.

She bent her eyes and took the initiative: "Mr. Gu, please wait for me for a moment, I will go get a cart."

Gu Zhou nodded casually: "Yeah."

She stepped on tiptoe.

Just a few steps forward.

The phone vibrated.

She walked with her head down.

An Zhe sent her a message: [I've found out that the people who attacked Wang Yaozu were under Gu Zhou's orders.]

The sound of high heels tapping stopped instantly.

In the next few seconds, she forced herself to recover for fear that her abnormality would be discovered.

She pulled open a cart, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her watery eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Gu Zhou has no grudge against Wang Yaozu.

He didn't need to send anyone to retaliate.

That's why he killed her.

It's because of her.

Almost immediately.

She thought of the day on the cruise ship when she had jokingly told others about her past.

She never thought that he took those words to heart.

She had never expected that he would silently settle the old accounts for her in such a thunderous way.

Things got out of hand at the time.

Wang Ke, without any reason, accused her of seducing her son and called her a shameless bitch.

The two elders did not want the scandal to be spread.

She was kept under house arrest in a room for a week, as if they were afraid that she would expose the scandal out of impulse.

That week of being locked in the room.

She even doubted it.

Is there still black and white in this world?

And now, Gu Zhou is telling her: There is black and white in the world.

A burning temperature spreads in my heart.

As she pushed the cart back, her emotions were completely suppressed in her heart, and she only kept a gentle smile on her face: "Let's go."

Supermarket at night.

There are a lot of people.

She pushed the cart, and Gu Zhou stood beside her. His fir-like tall figure looked like a bodyguard, and he was also in a plaster cast. Everyone subconsciously stepped aside, not daring to squeeze them.

Discover this.

She glanced at Gu Zhou, who was nonchalant but subconsciously protecting her and shielding her from the crowded crowd.

A smile flashed across her watery eyes.

In an open freezer.

Various meats and vegetables are neatly arranged.

She picked up the sliced ​​beef and looked sideways at Gu Zhou: "Mr. Gu, do you want to eat beef?"

Gu Zhou did not answer immediately.

Instead, he took half a step closer to her.

She subconsciously stepped back, her calves pressing against the freezer, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

Gu Zhou's tall figure trapped her between him and the freezer. He glanced at her indifferently, stretched out his hand, and leaned his upper limbs towards her.

Too close.

Her breathing slowed down a bit, and she looked at him in shock... She took a box of identical beef from the freezer, her lips half-curled, "Isn't this box larger?"

The faint scent of his perfume drifted into her nose.

She was slightly dazed.

Gu Zhou stepped back and put the box of beef into the shopping cart.

By the way, he took the box from her hand and put it in the shopping cart.

Wang Yuanling was puzzled: "Boss Gu, didn't you already take a box?"

Gu Zhou raised his lips casually: "Buy an extra box and stock up. You took it because you want to eat it, right? Then just buy them all."

Finally, he asked, "Continue?"

His scattered voice drew her attention back.

Her long eyelashes half-hid the ripples in her eyes. She placed her palm on the handle of the cart again and smiled faintly, "Okay."

The cart continued to move forward, the wheels making a slight rolling sound.

Every time Gu Zhou wanted to reach out and take food from the freezer shelf.

Lean your upper body towards her.

She was fumbling in her heart, expecting to be touched.

But he always managed to maintain that subtle distance between him and her.

Seemingly touching but not touching.

But it is more concerning than touching.

A scent of whole grain flour came from the front, which sounded healthy and nourishing, mainly the aroma of sesame.

"It smells so good." She sighed unconsciously.

Gu Zhou glanced at her, walked straight forward and went towards the five-grain flour stall.

Her watery eyes paused slightly, and she followed.

Just stopped by the stall.

Gu Zhou quickly "rescued" the last small cup of tasting sample from the edge of the tasting plate surrounded by several middle-aged women, and put a small spoon in it.

She didn't answer and looked at him.

Under the light, his brow bones cast a faint shadow, making his eyes look even deeper.

"Don't you want to eat?" Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually, his tone lazy, as if he was just doing it casually.

Did she just say it smells good?

You didn’t say you wanted to eat?

He was quite quick and went up to get a cup.

She glanced at the tasting plates that had been cleared out by the aunties.

This is the last cup.

She blinked her eyelashes and smiled gently, saying, "Mr. Gu, you eat."

Gu Zhou followed her gaze and glanced back.

It's like he can read my mind.

I actually knew the reason why she was so polite.

He pursed his lips: "Ladies first."

"No need..." She didn't finish her words.

He stuffed the small tasting cup into her palm without saying a word.

His fingertips accidentally brushed against her skin, sending a tiny electric current.

She stared at the tasting cup in slight surprise.

His faint voice came from above my head: "Eat it, I grabbed it especially for you."

The words sounded like a complaint, but also like a statement of fact: "I almost didn't get it. The lady was too fast."

She raised her eyelids.

His jawline was tense, but his expression was still as casual as usual, as if the childish words just now did not come from his mouth.

Just a few minutes ago, she was still upset about the news that he sent people to take revenge on Wang Yaozu.

At this moment, his almost childish "fighting" behavior made her heart ripple.

A sincere smile spread across her lips, and she whispered, "I'll get some spoons, shall we eat together?"

Gu Zhou didn't refuse, but ordered lazily: "Don't move, stand here and wait."

I saw him squeeze into the group of aunts again.

Bring back a small spoon.

His outstanding figure, coupled with the overly small pink spoon in his hand.

Excessive conflict, conflict brings out some cuteness.

As she looked, a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gu." She took the spoon, scooped up the multi-grain flour, stretched out her hand, and put it to his mouth.

It was obvious that she was not going to hand him a spoon, but to feed him directly.

Gu Zhou raised his brows.

His dark eyes were filled with a mysterious feeling as he stared at her shallow and gentle smile for an instant, and his Adam's apple rolled down involuntarily.

She bent her eyes slightly, without any burden from feeding: "Mr. Gu, your hands are not convenient, let me help you, you try it first."

Gu Zhou's lips curled up suddenly.

Naturally, he would not miss her thoughtfulness at this moment.

He replied seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Ling."

He covered her body slightly, but his dark eyes were fixed on her, and he slowly and deliberately took the spoon in his mouth.

Wang Yuanling kept smiling, but her fingertips curled slightly.
