Chapter 394 My door lock is broken

Gu Zhou smiled: "Boss Ling doesn't seem to be doing any better either."

She played dumb: "I'm fine, at least I can stand up."

He caught the cunning hidden in her smile.

After making insinuations about him, she smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. It's normal to feel weak when drunk. Come on, Mr. Gu, let's try again. I'll help..."

The word 'you' hadn't even come out of my mouth.

The part of my arm he was holding suddenly hurt.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, but her dark eyebrows were slightly knitted, and her eyes were full of scrutiny: "Mr. Gu?"

Gu Zhou held her in his arms, his lips curled up in a hint of danger. "If I don't prove myself, won't I really become what Ling Zong calls a loser who's too drunk to stand?"

She laughed dryly: "Mr. Gu, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

The moment he finished speaking, he felt his knee brush against his strong arm.

The tension about his unknown behavior reached its peak.

Gu Zhou spoke lazily: "Try?"

"Try what?" She felt uneasy.

There was a hint of amusement on Gu Zhou's lips.

The next second, the body suddenly lost weight.

"Gu Zhou, what are you doing?"

Almost out of survival instinct, she frantically hooked her arms around his neck, her whole body forced to press tightly against his solid and warm chest, barely able to maintain her shaky balance.

Gu Zhou simply supported his knee with one hand and easily carried her out of the car.

The warm masculine scent mixed with the smell of alcohol instantly surrounded her, domineeringly invading her senses.

Through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel the strength of his bulging arm muscles and the scorching heat of the hand supporting her knee.

This overly intimate contact quickly made her ears burn.

Her heart was pounding and she looked up at him.

The curve of his lips deepened, and the amusement turned into undisguised interest, like a hunter who finally caught his prey's weakness.

He lowered his head slightly, approaching her red lips that were slightly parted due to nervousness. His low, laughing voice rang out at a very close distance, with a hint of lazy hoarseness, clearly hitting her eardrums:

"Is this the first time you've called me by my full name?"

She smiled wryly: "Mr. Gu, please put me down first."

Instead of letting go, Gu Zhou used his long legs to push the car door, and with a snap, the door closed.

Holding her, he took two steady steps towards her apartment building.

His steps were steady and his breathing was even, and he didn't look at all like he was "too drunk to stand".

She could barely hold back the fake smile on her face: "Boss Gu, you can hold your liquor quite well and you're standing very steady. I made a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me for my mistakes. Let me down."

He chuckled softly, the vibration of his chest clearly conveying to her: "It's okay, I don't mind carrying Ling Zong upstairs so that Ling Zong can personally verify whether I can... stand steadily."

The last few words were almost pronounced word by word.

She couldn't hold it in any longer.

Gritting his teeth: "Gu Zhou."

He lowered his head, his hot breath brushing against her forehead. His eyes were fixed on her forcedly calm face, and he continued slowly, "Why? President Ling doesn't want to test it yourself?"

She took a deep breath and said, "Boss Gu, please put me down, lest anyone sees me and causes misunderstanding."

He sneered, "A man of integrity fears no shadow. Mr. Ling, have you never heard of this saying?"

Wang Yuanling choked and couldn't help but glare at him: "Rumors can kill people. Hasn't Mr. Gu heard this saying?"

A casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I haven't heard of it, who said it?"

Wang Yuanling: ...

Not wanting to argue with him, she kicked her toes and tried to struggle.

He raised his eyebrows and shook his arm deliberately, which scared her so much that she screamed and immediately stopped struggling, tightening her arms around his neck.

Gu Zhou's smile widened: "Didn't President Ling ask me to put you down? Why are you still holding you so tightly?"

Her watery eyes were filled with slight annoyance: "Boss Gu, is it fun to play tricks on me?"

He smiled faintly: "Who said I was kidding you?"

She was so angry that she whispered, "What is Mr. Gu doing now?"

He pretended not to understand: "I'm just trying to prove myself, how can it be considered as playing tricks on you?"

She gritted her teeth: "Are you going to let go?"

Seeing that she was on the verge of getting angry, Gu Zhou paused for two seconds, then compromised his already weak bottom line: "Okay."

He bent down, ready to put the man down.

As soon as her high heels touched the ground, Wang Yuanling hurriedly tried to step away.

It never rains but it pours.

He twisted his ankle and fell to the side.

The next second, Gu Zhou grabbed it.

Falling into his warm embrace again.

Overhead, he heard his lazy, playful voice: "The one who can't stand steadily seems to be Boss Ling."

Wang Yuanling felt embarrassed and hurriedly broke free from his arms, taking two steps back. He said politely, "Since Mr. Gu isn't too drunk to stand, I won't bother helping you."

Gu Zhou frowned and sneered: "No need."

He lifted his foot and walked forward.

Wang Yuanling glared at his leisurely back.

When he looked back.

Then it suddenly changed into a gentle smile.

Gu Zhou's lips curled up into a teasing arc: "What, Ling Zong can't walk? I don't mind helping to carry you upstairs."

She smiled through gritted teeth, "Thank you, but you don't have to."

Helplessly followed.

The elevator door opened.

She couldn't wait to step out and gave Gu Zhou a polite smile: "Good night, Mr. Gu, and go to bed early."

Then the sound of opening was heard, and he stepped into the house decisively and closed the door.

The crisp sound of a door closing echoed in the empty corridor.

Gu Zhou looked between the two door locks and raised his eyebrows.

Wang Yuanling took her pajamas and was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang.

Who else would knock on the door at this hour?

Her first reaction was Gu Zhou.

As soon as the door is opened.

It’s true.

She felt doubtful and smiled: "Boss Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Zhou looked distracted: "My door lock is broken."

Wang Yuanling: “???”

She even stuck her head out to see his door, and it was indeed closed.

The inquiring gaze returned to his face: "Did it break down so suddenly?" Gu Zhou shrugged casually, as if letting things take their course: "It was indeed sudden."

She pursed her lips and said, "Have you contacted the locksmith company?"

Gu Zhou sneered: "Do you want to see what time it is?"

Her phone was charging on the table, so she didn't look at it. She asked casually, "If the locksmith company doesn't come because it's too late, what are you going to do tonight?"

Gu Zhou curled his lips and looked at her with a faint smile: "Aren't you here to ask Mr. Ling for help?"

Wang Yuanling was confused: "How can Mr. Gu help me?"

Gu Zhou smiled without saying anything, his dark eyes glancing towards the room behind her.

This action hinted clearly.

Wang Yuanling's heart tightened.

There was a hint of reluctance in her smile: "Boss Gu, there is only one bed in my room. It would be too unfair for you to sleep on the sofa or on the floor. How about I take you to a nearby hotel and get a room to rest?"

Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually: "It doesn't matter, I'm not that delicate."

He saw through my euphemism.

Wang Yuanling's smile was stiff, and he wanted to refuse again: "Boss Gu, I think..."

Gu Zhou's dark eyes darkened for a moment, and he said meaningfully, "I thought that President Ling would also take me in because I kindly took you in for a night when you were drunk last time. It seems that I was overthinking it. I won't bother you anymore."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the elevator.

But I was counting down in my heart.

three.

two.

one.

"Mr. Gu."

The corners of his lips curled up, and when he turned around and responded, his expression returned to nonchalant.
