Chapter 1097 Dinner
What she didn't know was that this soothing soup that helped her sleep actually contained medicine. Every time the servant brought it upstairs to her, he would not leave until she finished drinking it.
After drinking the medicine, Gu Wanqiu felt sleepy in less than half an hour. She washed up as quickly as possible and lay in bed without much effort. Her brain began to feel groggy and her mind was distracted, and soon she fell into darkness.
Li Jinxing counted the time for the medicine to take effect and entered the room on time.
Gu Wanqiu likes to lock the door when she goes to bed so that she can feel safe. Maybe she is too afraid of Li Jinxing.
But what she didn't know was that no matter how careful she was, she couldn't guard against Li Jinxing, not to mention that this was Li Jinxing's home, Li Jinxing's territory.
He opened the door easily with the key, without having to be cautious. He strode in, making such a loud noise that Gu Wanqiu couldn't wake up.
He sat on the edge of the bed and watched Gu Wanqiu fall into deep sleep. Her hair was softly spread on the pillow. She looked well-behaved. Her eyes, which had never had surgery, were incredibly beautiful. Her eyelashes were long and curled, with just the right curve. They were like two butterflies resting on her eyelids, touching one's heart inadvertently.
Li Jinxing looked for a while, reached out and touched Gu Wanqiu's eyelashes, then moved down little by little to touch the tip of her nose to feel her breath, and then to her lips, he touched his delicate jawline, and then leaned over uncontrollably, like a drug addict, and kissed her soft lips.
He is a human being and there are times when he can't control his emotions. He went crazy because he wanted to get close to her.
The doctor prescribed him medicine, saying it could control his restless mood, but no matter how much he took, he would collapse as soon as he saw Gu Wanqiu.
She, the medicine works quickly.
Li Jinxing doubted himself. In addition to his paranoid mental illness, he also suffered from skin hunger and wanted to get close to Gu Wanqiu.
Gu Wanqiu avoided him like the plague, so this was the only dirty method he could use.
I only dared to get close to her when she was asleep.
Gu Wanqiu woke up from a nap. She had gone to bed early and slept long enough, but for some reason, she still didn't have much energy during the day.
She looked at her phone and saw that she had already made it through one-third of the schedule. She only had two-thirds left to leave here completely.
During these thirty days, she developed a deep relationship with Li Jinxing's two children, and she spent most of her time with them.
Today, Li Jinxing suddenly asked her to go to a banquet with him, and she attended as his female companion.
Shouldn't he choose his secretary as his female companion? Given Li Jinxing's status, if he wanted a female companion, with groups of women lining up for him to choose from, would he really need her?
"I don't know anything and it will affect your work..." Gu Wanqiu spoke weakly, revealing a message of rejection from the inside out. She didn't want to go out with Li Jinxing to attend that banquet at all.
She had no interest in the so-called celebrity dinner. Li Siyan had gossiped with her about his father Li Jinxing's love history, saying that his father had many admirers and many women wanted to be his mother, but his father was very affectionate and only loved his mother, and would not want to be with anyone else.
But is this really the case? If Li Jinxing truly loves the mother of his two children, why does he cling to her so relentlessly? What does "deep affection" really mean to Li Jinxing?
“
You just need to stand quietly beside me and be a vase, you don't need to do anything." He always spoke directly, without considering whether his words would hurt someone's self-esteem.
He could see that Gu Wanqiu didn't want to go with him, so he took out the agreement they had signed three weeks ago and reminded Gu Wanqiu that the agreement between them was that she could not refuse his work requirements. If she dared to violate it, the period could only be extended by ten days.
Ten days, that’s ten days. We had barely made it through thirty days and had managed to get through one third of it. If it was extended by ten days, that one third would be gone.
Gu Wanqiu was hesitant, but after thinking about it, it was better to just one night than to extend it for ten more days.
"Okay, I agree." Gu Wanqiu agreed, but reluctantly. The thought of meeting Li Jinxing's many admirers at the dinner party made her scalp tingle. She didn't want to be the center of attention at all.
When she was next to Li Jinxing, she wished she could become as small as an ant so that no one could see her.
The more low-key the better. Gong Qing and Li Jinxing are not from the same circle, but they are both wealthy and famous. Who knows if this will reach Gong Qing's ears.
Of course, Gong Qing had never taken her out, and she had never entered Gong Qing's circle. The people Gong Qing knew didn't know her, so it was not easy for her to get the news to his ears.
Gu Wanqiu could only comfort herself in this way.
After confirming that she and Li Jinxing would attend the dinner, the stylist arrived here in the afternoon, driving several cars filled with high-end dresses and jewelry for Gu Wanqiu to choose from.
Gu Wanqiu rarely went out, and occasions like tonight were more vivid in her memory.
She had never been there before, because she had never been to such a place, so she didn't have a haute couture dress like this. Gong Qing had given her jewelry, but she rarely wore it at home.
Looking at the dresses and jewelry pushed in front of her, although she had no experience with high-end couture in this area, she felt unusually familiar with them, as if she had used them before. She could tell at a glance how much these dresses and jewelry were worth. The dresses were no less than six figures, and the jewelry were around seven figures.
Gu Wanqiu felt a little uncomfortable wearing such an expensive dress.
But she had no right to refuse. Seeing that she was hesitant, the stylist recommended a suitable evening dress to her. Gu Wanqiu pointed to a blue long dress. Compared with other dresses, this one was more conservative. Although it was a halter top design, it had a shawl on the outside and the length of the skirt also dragged on the ground to cover her feet.
The next step is to choose shoes. The weather is not too cold at the moment and there is heating at the banquet, so it is no problem to wear a short skirt with sandals. The stylist took out the latest shoes of this year, with high heels and crystals on them. Beautiful hands mean to show your toes.
The stylist said that women’s shoes are the most important. This pair of shoes cost three million. The blue diamonds on them were all carefully selected and engraved. Each diamond is worth hundreds of thousands, which is perfect for her.
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Wanqiu's legs. Gu Wanqiu's legs were beautiful and slender, without any excess fat. In addition, she was naturally fair-skinned, and her legs were like the finest mutton-fat jade. It was hard to imagine that her feet hidden in her socks were incomplete.
Gu Wanqiu couldn't stand people looking at her
He took a small step back.
The stylist didn't notice this and continued to praise her, saying different things to different people. Gu Wanqiu's face was not the most beautiful she had ever seen, but her legs were indeed good. She would get a commission for the clothes, shoes and jewelry that Gu Wanqiu chose tonight. The more expensive the items, the higher the commission she would get.
Real wealthy people like these will just buy the clothes they choose and won’t rent them.
The stylist knew Li Jinxing. Li Jinxing rarely attended such banquets. Every time he decided to go, he would directly contact the stylist and ask them to send him a set of clothes. A handsome man doesn't need to take care of himself. Once he changes his clothes and stands in the crowd, he will stand out.
From head to toe, he is top-notch, and it is hard not to pay attention to him.
However, this was the first time that a woman appeared next to him, so the stylist wanted to make a good impression on Gu Wanqiu.
Women dress much more elaborately than men. From the hair accessories to the shoes on their feet, a set of clothes can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. If she can win Gu Wanqiu as a customer, she won't have to worry about her future sales and can just lie down and count the money.
The clothes recommended by the stylist to Gu Wanqiu were all expensive. There was a reason for their expensiveness, as they were indeed beautiful. Gu Wanqiu also liked high heels, but her feet could not wear them, so she politely rejected her.
"But you have to wear a pair of shoes, right? Miss Gu, a pair of beautiful shoes is very important for a woman."
"I care more about comfort and my feet than about looking pretty, and these shoes don't suit me."
"If you don't try, how will you know it's not suitable?"
“That’s because I know in my heart what I want and what suits me.
, you don’t need to recommend anything to me, just this dress and these jewelry.”
Gu Wanqiu was talking about shoes, but for some reason, she thought of men. Seeing how persistent she was, the stylist could only say okay.
