Chapter 278 I’m Actually Afraid of the Dark
The elevator was pitch black.
I can't see anything.
Gu Zhou frowned and quickly pressed the buttons for each floor.
A sharp voice reminded Wang Yuanling: "Stand close to the wall."
But there was no response.
His brows raised suddenly: "Boss Ling?"
She didn't say anything.
But he heard rapid and obviously abnormal breathing sounds.
Immediately take out your phone and turn on the flashlight.
I found her squatting on the ground, holding her head tightly, and shaking violently all over.
"Boss Ling, what's wrong with you?"
He frowned and tried to touch her arm to pull her up.
But the moment I touched her.
Without warning, she fell backward.
Gu Zhou's dark eyes flashed fiercely, and he quickly grabbed her back and pulled her into his arms: "Wang Yuanling!"
This prevented the back of her head from hitting the hard floor.
His cell phone was thrown to the ground during the action just now.
Now it is lying on the ground, emitting bright light.
Wang Yuanling was immersed in fear.
Those blood-stained memories were like sharp knives, stabbing into her brain one by one.
She was choked by fear.
Deprived of oxygen bit by bit.
My strength is gradually disappearing.
She bit her tongue unconsciously.
But in the next second, his jaw was pinched hard, and the tongue that had just been bitten was forced to release.
The pain brought her back to her senses.
"Wang Yuanling! Relax! Take a deep breath!"
Maybe he pinched her face too hard, or maybe his tone of command was too harsh.
It made her feel like if she didn't do as she was told, she would be strangled to death.
Her scattered consciousness gradually gathered.
At that time.
A strong light squeezed in from the crack in the door.
Then, the elevator door was completely opened.
An Zhu who came to rescue saw this scene.
His pupils trembled, and he immediately rushed forward: "Boss Ling! Adjust your breathing!"
Gu Zhou glanced at the employees who were gathered outside and whispering in surprise.
With a cold expression, he picked up Wang Yuanling.
He lifted his big hand that was supporting her back and deliberately turned her body to the side so that she faced his chest and hid her face.
He ordered Yasuzu: "Go to the hospital!"
Then he strode towards the stairs.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu!" An Zhu came back to his senses in panic and hurriedly stopped Gu Zhou.
The moment I was stopped.
The look Gu Zhou gave him was terrifying.
An Zhu swallowed subconsciously and hurriedly guided: "Please follow me back to Ling's office!"
He just blurted out the instruction: adjust your breathing.
And his reaction was just panicked, but not surprised.
Obviously knowing.
He hugged Wang Yuanling and turned around decisively.
He hurried towards the office.
Bright and bumpy.
Wang Yuanling gradually woke up.
Catch the eye.
It was Gu Zhou's sharp jaw.
And then move your gaze upwards.
His usually carefree face was now filled with seriousness.
Gu Zhou just stepped into the office.
He walked straight towards the sofa without looking back and shouted, "Close the door!"
An Zhu, who had been following behind them, quickly closed the door, isolating the people outside instantly.
When he was put on the sofa.
Wang Yuanling's breathing has gradually returned to normal.
The misty watery eyes gradually became clear.
It was so clear that he could see the inquiry and melancholy in Gu Zhou's dark eyes.
Her mind raced with explanations.
Gu Zhou is not easy to fool.
"I..." Her voice was still a little weak.
Gu Zhou interrupted: "Drink some water first."
He unscrewed the bottle of spare mineral water on the table, ran his palm through her soft curly hair, supported the back of her head and helped her sit up.
The bottle was brought directly to her mouth.
Wang Yuanling's watery eyes paused.
Her fingertips quickly touched his wrist and pushed his hand away: "No, I'm fine."
Being stared at by him was extremely oppressive.
Wang Yuanling pursed her lips nervously, forcing herself to smile. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I scared you just now. I just have low blood sugar."
Gu Zhou's voice was as cold as a blade that could cut through a hemp rope: "Can low blood sugar cause twitching and tongue biting?"
Wang Yuanling choked.
An Zhu, who was standing by, wanted to help explain: "Boss Gu, our Boss Ling..."
But I haven't finished yet.
Gu Zhou interrupted her harshly: "I'm asking her."
Wang Yuanling gave An Zhu, who looked nervous, a soothing look.
He supported himself on the sofa with his hands and sat with his legs beside him.
She raised her moist eyes and said embarrassedly: "Okay, actually I am afraid of the dark, but this matter is too embarrassing. Telling it to others will damage my image as a CEO. Please help me keep it confidential, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou recalled her reaction when she suddenly rushed towards him in the abandoned cabin last time.
But if you say you are afraid of the dark.
Her level of fear clearly exceeded the normal threshold.
This woman never speaks a word of truth.
Seeing Gu Zhou looking at her quietly.
Wang Yuanling felt like he was being burned by an unknown fire and was sitting on pins and needles.
She probed: "Mr. Gu...could you help me with a small favor?"
The coldness in Gu Zhou's dark eyes faded away, and he returned to his lazy state.
He pressed the water bottle into her palm.
With his hands in his pockets, his brows were weary and he said, "Of course."
Her little teardrop mole brightened up as her eyes bent down: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
-
Western restaurant.
Gu Zhou sat opposite with a calm demeanor, wearing a waist-hugging light blue silk drape shirt and casual and neat wide-leg white pants, looking as capable and elegant as ever.
Her slender and beautiful fingertips were holding the knife and fork, and her graceful movements in tackling steak were also quite ornamental.
From every angle.
She has returned to her normal state.
There was no trace of the embarrassment of being on the verge of suffocation in the elevator just now.
Wang Yuanling picked up the cut steak with both hands, looked up, and handed it to Gu Zhou.
"Mr. Gu, you can eat this plate of cuts."
Gu Zhou lowered his eyes and watched the medium-rare top-grade steak being cut into neat strips.
Intimate service delivered to your door.
He had no reason to refuse.
An Ran took it and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ling."
Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said, "Mr. Gu, you're welcome."
She lowered her long eyelashes and was about to go through the steak-cutting procedure again.
"Sister Yuanling?"
A joyful shout made her look up immediately.
Luo Zidong didn't expect to meet Wang Yunling here.
The last time he was caught cheating, he was completely unaware.
Later I wanted to explain it to her properly.
But his mother angrily scolded him, "Explain? Too late! You've already been expelled from the Wang family by Old Lady! You've brought shame upon the Luo family!"
But he was unwilling to give up.
In particular, she was frequently seen on various hot searches and reports representing Wang Group, appearing confident and graceful on stage with a sweet smile.
He missed such a dazzling pearl.
It made him regret it so much.
How unlucky he is! He got caught!
Wang Yuanling's watery eyes were filled with indifference, but she still smiled gently: "Hello, Brother Zidong."
Luo Zidong lowered his head and looked at Gu Zhou's nonchalant face. He was surprised: "Gu, Mr. Gu, why are you here?"
Luo Zidong looked at the two of them.
Could they be...
Gu Zhou glanced at Wang Yuanling, who was smiling politely, and said lazily, "Boss Ling invited me to dinner. Boss Luo is eating too? Want to join us?"
Wang Yuanling's watery eyes paused slightly.
Gu Zhou took it in, and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Boss Ling, you don't mind adding more people, right? It seems that Boss Luo is our mutual friend."
Wang Yuanling put away his surprise and glanced at Luo Zidong: "Of course, Brother Zidong, please take a seat."
Seeing the atmosphere of business courtesy between them.
Obviously not a blind date.
Luo Zidong's eyes lit up again.
According to common sense.
He should sit next to Gu Zhou.
But he sat down next to Wang Yuanling.
Wang Yuanling's spine stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly leaned inside, otherwise their arms would have touched each other.
She raised her eyes.
I saw a playful smile on Gu Zhou's face.
She immediately became defensive.
What is Gu Zhou going to do next?
