Chapter 425 I'll Pick You Up Again

Finish breakfast.

She was about to get up.

My shoulders suddenly felt heavy.

She was surprised and looked at Gu Zhou who had held her down: "Mr. Gu?"

Gu Zhou's dark eyes subconsciously searched around: "Where is the ointment?"

Wang Yuanling's eyes paused slightly, and he looked at the coffee table: "I put it on the coffee table."

Gu Zhou followed her words and looked at the coffee table, his gaze falling precisely on the small tube of ointment.

"Sit down." He said this lazily, took back his hand on her shoulder, and walked quickly towards the coffee table.

He covered himself and picked up the ointment.

Then he asked, "You don't have cotton swabs at home?"

Wang Yuanling wanted to get up: "Yes, it's in the small medicine box, I'll get it..."

Gu Zhou glanced at her lazily: "Don't move, tell me where it is, I'll get it."

Wang Yuanling paused.

I had no choice but to point to the cabinet in front of the coffee table: "It's the cabinet on the far left. If you open it, you can see the small medicine box."

She watched Gu Zhou open the medicine box, take out a cotton swab, hold the ointment, and return to her.

His dark eyes fixed on her.

Even before he opened his mouth, Wang Yuanling already knew what he was going to do.

Tactfully: "Boss Gu, I can apply the medicine myself."

Gu Zhou said quietly: "Why are you here? You can't even see anything."

Wang Yuanling: "I can look in the mirror."

Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows casually: "You were injured because of me, so it's only natural for me to help apply the medicine."

She swallowed softly in her throat and said softly, "It was an accident, Mr. Gu, don't mind it."

Gu Zhou's voice was deep: "I do mind."

Holding her moist eyes, he spoke each word with emphasis: "I mind it very much."

Wang Yuanling's eyelashes fluttered slightly...

She tilted her neck to make it easier for him to apply the medicine.

She couldn't see the process of applying the medicine on her neck, but she could feel his cautiousness from the gentle touch like a feather brushing against her neck.

He said in a deep voice, which seemed to contain some indistinguishable emotion: "Does it hurt?"

Wang Yuanling blinked slightly: "No."

She was too lazy to mention the slight stinging sensation caused by the little bit of ointment touching the wound.

The next second, the force of the feather-light medicine application became noticeably stronger.

The slight tingling sensation is amplified.

Wang Yuanling couldn't help but hiss.

Gu Zhou's lazy voice came from above his head: "If it hurts in the future, just tell me directly. Your Wang family's culture of being well-behaved and sensible and swallowing bitterly should be thrown away as soon as possible. Keeping it will only harm your brain."

Wang Yuanling listened and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

-

Gu Zhou really acted as a special car driver and took her to the gate of Wang's house.

Wang Yuanling unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to Gu Zhouwan and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for giving me a ride."

Gu Zhou rested his left hand on the steering wheel, his right hand slung loosely on the center console, his handsome features revealing a lazy expression: "Boss Ling."

Wang Yuanling stopped just as he was about to open the car door.

She tilted her head, doubt in her watery eyes.

"Mr. Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Zhou raised his lips casually: "Boss Ling, are you so forgetful? You promised to give me some herbal tea, and you forgot so quickly?"

Wang Yuanling was speechless for a moment.

"Mr. Gu, I'll bring it to you when I get home tonight...I don't think anyone drinks herbal tea so early in the morning, right?"

Gu Zhou was at ease: "In the evening? Okay, what time do you get off work?"

Wang Yuanling's eyes widened slightly.

Hearing his hidden meaning, she was surprised: "Mr. Gu is coming to pick me up tonight?"

"Of course, after all, Mr. Ling didn't drive, so we can't let him take a taxi back."

He downplayed it, as if he was really thinking about her and had no selfish motives at all.

Wang Yuanling smiled politely: "Don't bother Mr. Gu, the group has a business car, I will ask someone to take me back."

Gu Zhou said lazily, "After all, Mr. Ling is a high-ranking official and has a lot of things to do. If I come back after finishing my work and realize I forgot to buy some herbal tea, I'll be at an increased risk of catching a cold. For the sake of my health, I don't mind coming here in person to pick you up."

Silver tongued.

Wang Yuanling personally experienced what it means to laugh when one is speechless.

She opened her lips slightly, about to politely refuse.

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "Or did President Ling never intend to buy it for me and was just trying to trick me?"

Wang Yuanling: ... "How could I fool Mr. Gu?"

Gu Zhou said decisively: "Okay, I'll pick you up at 5:30 pm."

Wang Yuanling's smile was a little strained. "Normally, we get off work at 6 o'clock, right? Mr. Gu, are you planning to leave early?"

Gu Zhou was contented: "I have no choice. After all, it's for the sake of my health. If I catch a cold, it means my work efficiency will be low. If my efficiency is low, the group's profits will be affected. This kind of vicious development will have serious consequences. So, Mr. Ling, please pay attention to this issue."

Wang Yuanling: How could someone be so good at talking nonsense?

He mentioned a small bottle of herbal tea for preventing colds, and it affected the interests of the Gu family.

The 'gold content' is elevated.

Wang Yuanling took a deep breath and smiled gently, "Okay, then please ask Mr. Gu to pick me up at 5:30 and we'll go buy some herbal tea together."

The goal was achieved, and Gu Zhou had a smile on his face, looking very proud.

But he still insisted: "Will this be too hard for Mr. Ling?"

Wang Yuanling maintained a smile: "It's not hard." Life is hard.

Smiling at each other, the smile on Gu Zhoujun's face was obviously much more natural.

He made a "please get out" gesture towards her car door and said with a playful smile: "Boss Ling, please?"

Wang Yuanling smiled perfunctorily, saying, "Thank you for troubling Mr. Gu."

Gu Zhou raised his lip: "Mr. Ling is too polite."

He said polite words, but there was no expression on his face.

She suppressed her silence, put her palm on the door handle, and finally opened the door and got out of the car.

She had to stand at the door and watch Gu Zhou's car leave before she could turn around and enter the group.

It's true, I've been dominated since early morning.

However, considering that I don’t have to make breakfast myself in the morning and it is almost fed to my mouth.

She doesn't care anymore.

Just stepped into the office.

I had just put the bag on the table when Yasuko knocked on the door and came in.

"Come in."

"Boss Ling." An Zhu closed the door and was about to report when he saw the bandage on her neck and was stunned: "Your neck is injured?"

Wang Yuanling mumbled, "It's nothing serious. I just accidentally scratched it. Go ahead."

An Zhu finally put away his surprised expression and said seriously, "Boss Ling, I've found the person you asked me to investigate."

Wang Yuanling's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You say."

-

noon.

Wang Yuanling had just finished a meeting.

After all, several senior executives are now all in a "resting" state.

The focus of all the group's business falls on her.

All morning long, there was a constant stream of requests for instructions.

Wang Yuanling dealt with them one by one.

Ensure the normal operation of the group.

Even if several senior executives are not here, the group still has the old man's spies.

They kept an eye on her every move so that they could report to the old man in a timely manner.

But after all, it is much better than the previous time when we were suppressed by senior executives and dared not act rashly.

Now, Wang, she has the final say.

All this is thanks to Gu Zhou.

She believed that the old man would soon be able to find out that these actions were done by Gu Zhou.

But he definitely wouldn't go and confront Gu Zhou.

Even if I have to look for someone, I will look for Gu Zhen.

If Gu Zhen knew that Gu Zhou had intervened in Wang's affairs for her, would he stop Gu Zhou from approaching her? Would he reveal any flaws?

She slowly sharpened the knife in her hand, waiting for the day when she could chop down all the murderers who had committed the tragedy that year.

Now, we just have to wait for these murderers to surface one by one.

"Zizi." The phone with the screen flipped over suddenly vibrated.

She came back to her senses from the coldness in her eyes.

Pick up your phone.
