Chapter 322 There is a woman next to him
Inside the car.
Aunt Hua, the old servant who had gone out to buy a bunch of things, turned her head and looked at the lady behind her who was dressed luxuriously - An Lianhe.
"Madam, we bought a lot of dishes that the young master likes today. He will definitely have a good meal tonight."
An Lianhe smiled and said, "Auntie Hua, remember, put less sugar in the pork ribs with preserved plums tonight. Ah Zhou doesn't like sweetness, just enough to enhance the flavor."
Aunt Hua: "Okay."
The driver next to him was about to turn on his turn signal when he suddenly spotted a familiar car in the rearview mirror. He looked closely at the license plate and said hurriedly, "Madam, the young master's car is right behind us."
As soon as these words were spoken, An Lianhe and Aunt Hua both looked outside.
Across the lane, I saw the low-key yet luxurious version of Maybach.
Aunt Hua looked sharp: "Hey, Madam, there seems to be someone sitting next to the young master."
An Lianhe was busy concentrating on looking at the back seat.
Saw a woman's silhouette through the car window?
She hurriedly called out, "Auntie Hua, hurry up, look, is there a woman sitting next to Azhou?"
In an instant.
The three people in the car stared intently at the rear seat windows of the Maybach.
Two seconds later, An Lianhe realized something was wrong and scolded the driver: "You don't need to look, just look at the road!"
"Yes... Madam." The driver was scolded back.
Aunt Hua didn't dare to blink at all, staring until her eyes were sore, and finally confirmed: "Madam, there really is a woman sitting next to the young master."
An Lianhe was surprised: "Didn't you see it right?"
Aunt Hua said exaggeratedly: "Madam, there is absolutely no mistake, that figure is a woman."
An Lianhe covered her mouth in surprise.
-
Inside the Maybach.
Wang Yuanling withdrew his gaze from the speeding car outside the window.
Glancing sideways quietly.
Gu Zhou sank into the car seat, his long legs spread out freely, his dark eyes closed, and a sense of laziness lingered all over his body.
Her eyes slid from his eyebrows to his tall nose, and then to his thin but beautifully shaped lips.
He was actually very careful.
Found out she didn't have a car.
On the other hand, she was surprised that Gu Zhou's observation of her was so saturated.
It's obvious that this person is careless and out of focus all day long.
Yet so subtle and detailed.
"Ding-ling-ling."
The sudden ringing of Gu Zhou's cell phone startled her so much that her shoulders trembled slightly.
He immediately looked away feeling guilty.
I almost got caught peeking.
Gu Zhou raised his eyelids, his eyes were clear and bright, without any trace of sleepiness.
He raised his phone and saw the caller ID on the screen: [Mom]
He answered the call with a calm expression, his voice lazy: [Hello, Mom?]
He just spoke.
I felt the watery eyes next to me looking at me.
The corner of his mouth raised.
The next second, his eyebrows raised because of An Lianhe's words.
Did you see it?
Wang Yuanling was eavesdropping with his ears perked up.
What did you see?
Then Gu Zhou looked over sideways.
She immediately felt guilty and silently mouthed: "What's wrong?"
Gu Zhou stared at her deeply: [She is my partner, her name is Wang Yuanling.]
Why did you mention her?
Gu Zhou's mother is asking her?
She was confused.
Gu Zhou handed over the phone.
Her eyes widened, and she pointed at herself helplessly, meaning: You want me to answer the phone?!
Gu Zhou's face was filled with interest: "She asked you to answer it."
After saying that, he pressed the hands-free button.
A voice came out of the microphone: [Hello, how are you?]
Wang Yuanling hurried forward, looking nervous: [Hello, aunt.]
Gu Zhou's lips curved up as he looked at her leisurely.
An Lianhe smiled: [Hello, child. I am Azhou's mother. I would like to ask if you are free tonight. I would like to invite you to our house for dinner tonight.]
Is it so sudden?
Wang Yuanling subconsciously looked at Gu Zhou.
He supported his face with his left hand, and used his right hand as a phone holder, holding up the hands-free phone, his dark eyes filled with playfulness lingering on her face.
An Lianhe added with a smile: [It's like this, my car is on your left, you can see me when you turn around.]
Wang Yuanling looked up in surprise and looked through Gu Zhou at the car window.
Ben's closed car window suddenly slid down.
Wang Yuanling immediately turned his head to look at Gu Zhou.
The corners of his lips curled lazily: "No thanks."
Wang Yuanling: “…”
She met Gu Zhou's mother in such a charming manner.
He smiled awkwardly and waved.
She thought of countless opportunities to get close to the Gu family.
Except this one.
She politely agreed: "Okay, I'm free tonight, thank you, auntie."
An Lianhe also leaned against the window, smiling and waving at her: [You're welcome, child.]
Wang Yuanling just kept smiling.
The corners of his mouth, which were almost stiff from smiling, relaxed the moment Gu Zhou finally closed the car window.
Gu Zhou said casually: [I'm hanging up.]
After saying that, he hung up.
Looking at Wang Yuanling, who hadn't recovered yet, he pursed his lips and said, "Isn't that a coincidence?"
Wang Yuanling looked at Gu Zhou who opened the car window without saying a word: "...What a coincidence."
Although I am speechless, the focus now is not to settle this account.
She leaned forward, her palms gripping the edge of the chair, and looked at the driver: "When we get off the highway later, please help me find a flower shop. I want to buy some flowers."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows: "No need."
She ignored him and continued to urge him, "The bigger the flower shop, the better. A big shop has more varieties."
The driver looked inquiringly through the rearview mirror at Gu Zhou, who looked lazy.
Wang Yuanling also followed his gaze and looked at Gu Zhou.
Just look at this.
It's a bit like... a glare.
Gu Zhou laughed and said in a drawling tone: "Why are you looking at me? There's a flower shop on my face?"
The driver understood and responded, "Okay, Mr. Ling."
-
flower shop.
Wang Yuanling glanced at the existing bouquets in the store, thought for a moment, and decided, "Please help me get white roses and misty purple tulips."
As she spoke, she pulled out a eucalyptus leaf covered in moss from a branch and said, "Add some gray-green branches."
Gu Zhou stood aside, wrapped the ribbon around his fingertips, and watched her leisurely as she carefully picked out the patterns.
The corners of his lips curled up in a mischievous arc.
"I want this glacier blue rose, the kind with frost and snow patterns on the petals." She caught a glimpse of the silk silver ribbon on Gu Zhou's fingertips and walked over.
Gu Zhou lowered his eyes and watched her coming over... and pulled the ribbon away.
Then she handed it to the clerk to wrap the flower: "It will look better if you use this color of ribbon."
The whole action is done in one go.
Gu Zhou sneered and spoke to make himself feel important: "Buy so much?"
Her watery eyes finally returned to his face, and her voice was light and graceful: "I'm a bit rushed today, so I can only make hasty preparations. If I had more time, I could prepare a better bouquet."
Gu Zhou pondered her words, then understood. The corner of his lips raised suddenly: "Blame me?"
"No." Her eyes betrayed her mouth.
Gu Zhou's eyes were filled with amusement, and he said leisurely: "I didn't know her car was right next to us."
Wang Yuanling: You don’t know, but you rolled down the window just in time, leaving people no time to prepare.
But these words can only be slandered in the heart.
She was very considerate and said gently, "Yes, I understand."
After saying that, she went into the refrigerator at the end of the narrow alley and took out a few more white roses.
Just turned around.
Only then did I realize that Gu Zhou had followed me without me noticing.
Blocking her way now.
She held the rose and instinctively took a step back.
The distance that had just been opened was pulled back the next moment by Gu Zhou who stepped forward.
He held the metal cabinet door open with one hand.
He suddenly leaned over, his dark eyes fixed on her, his words spoken lazily, "Understand? But why do I feel like you don't understand? You might even be angry."
The cold air from the freezer climbed up her arms, making them feel cold.
But nothing was more chilling than the oppressive feeling he exuded.
"Mr. Gu, I'm really not angry." She sobbed softly, her heartbeat speeding up at this dangerously close distance.
He pursed his lips: "Based on what I know about her, if you don't go to dinner tonight, she will show up in your office tomorrow."
Wang Yuanling's eyes paused.
Is he explaining?
"I'm just trying to minimize the trouble I cause you."
She was sure now.
He was indeed explaining.
It’s just…an explanation. There’s no need to get so close, right?
