Chapter 385 The First
Finished sending the message.
Gu Zhou turned on the flight mode directly.
I took out my bank card from my wallet and handed it to the cashier, saying lazily, "Swipe the card."
Wang Yuanling picked up the shopping bag and said politely, "Mr. Gu, I'll transfer the money back to you later."
Gu Zhou stared at her for two seconds, then said in a faint voice, "What do you want to transfer? Do you need to add that one yuan? If you need it, I'll pay for it for you."
She laughed dryly: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, I don't really need it."
Meeting Gu Zhou's peculiar gaze, she snatched the other bag that the salesperson had just packed with a forced smile: "Let me take it, thank you."
She picked up the bag with both hands and turned to leave.
Slipping very fast.
There was no mention of the money transfer.
Gu Zhou chuckled softly.
She had only taken a few steps.
The obviously heavier shopping bag on the right was pulled away from behind by Gu Zhou.
She turned around quickly and glanced at his left hand in a cast: "Mr. Gu, this is too heavy, let me carry it."
Gu Zhou knew what she was thinking as soon as he glanced at her expression. He raised his eyebrows casually and said, "My left hand is just broken, my right hand is fine."
She smiled gently and said, "But it's best not to lift heavy objects. It would be troublesome if you get hurt."
Gu Zhou didn't care: "I'm made of paper?"
He stepped forward.
Wang Yuanling looked at his leisurely and relaxed back and had to give up.
Inside the car.
As soon as I got on the bus.
Wang Yuanling took out a bottle of water from the bag.
Gu Zhou thought she was thirsty.
The next second, the cap of the bottle of water was unscrewed and handed to him.
His dark eyes froze.
When it fell on her gentle smiling face, it was dark and gloomy.
"Mr. Gu, you must be thirsty after walking around for so long. Drink some water first."
Gu Zhou didn't answer, but the corners of his lips slowly curved up, and he said in a quiet tone: "Boss Ling is really good at taking care of people."
She kept smiling: "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
Gu Zhou stretched out the last syllable, his tone quite dark: "The spirit is so close that I am a little overwhelmed."
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I didn't do anything. Could it be that no one has ever opened water for Mr. Gu before? That's impossible."
He smiled faintly: "Why is it impossible?"
She spoke softly, smiling innocently, "With Mr. Gu's status, many people should be willing to serve you."
Gu Zhou was at his ease, imitating her words: "With President Ling's thoughtfulness, there should be many people who like you involuntarily."
Her watery eyes were filled with cunning: "So Mr. Gu means that he likes me too?"
The curve of Gu Zhou's lips became more and more profound: "If so, what does Ling Zong think?"
"How do I see it~" She murmured these words, her eyes still slightly curved.
Meeting his unblinking gaze, she smiled brightly, "Of course I am. I feel honored."
His eyes suddenly darkened, and a warm current surged in his heart.
His lips parted slightly, ready to speak.
But then she chuckled and said, "I like Mr. Gu too. Although we haven't known each other for long, I already consider Mr. Gu a very good friend."
So her liking for him was within the boundaries of friendship and was beyond reproach.
The hot words that were about to come out of his throat were swallowed back as his Adam's apple rolled.
The smile on Gu Zhou's lips did not penetrate his eyes. He drawled, "Me too. I have already regarded Mr. Ling as the best partner."
He tilted his head and looked out the window.
The spark that had just been ignited in the black eyes was instantly covered by darkness.
He said coldly: "Thank you, Mr. Ling, I'm not thirsty, Mr. Ling, you should drink it yourself."
Wang Yuanling looked at his disinterested profile, curled his lips calmly, and replied, "Okay."
Then he calmly screwed the lid back on.
Started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
-
The electronic door lock opens the door.
Immediately, Mantou's coquettish voice came from inside: "Meow~~~"
Wang Yuanling's voice was conditioned to be hoarse: "Hello, Mantou~~"
She kicked off her high heels.
She threw the shopping bag in her hand onto the floor of the entrance, then impatiently bent down to hug the cat that ran towards her. She rubbed her cheek against its soft fur and couldn't help but kiss it, completely forgetting that there was someone behind her.
Gu Zhou, who followed in from behind, lowered his eyes to see her high heels being kicked here and there.
For no reason, I remembered the night she got on the wrong bus.
She kicked off her shoes so casually that the sharp tip of the shoe even "accidentally" kicked his calf.
Her habit...
Inexplicably, it's very cute.
This is completely different from the magnanimity, steadiness and impeccable demeanor she usually displays.
It is filled with some straightforward truthfulness, but also reveals a little bit of willfulness that is carefully hidden.
Just like that night when he was drunk, confused and prickly.
It surprised him and aroused his curiosity.
What does the real Wang Yuanling look like?
He raised his dark eyes slightly and saw her holding a steamed bun, with curved eyebrows and a pure smile without a trace of disguise. The curve of the corners of his lips gradually softened without even noticing it.
After holding the steamed buns.
She suddenly remembered that there was someone following her.
The unguarded happy smile on his face froze slightly.
He quickly put down the steamed bun, his expression instantly switched to a polite apology, and he quickly walked back to close the door.
She opened the shoe cabinet and took out a pair of brand new, dark grey slippers that were obviously too large. She placed them neatly on the mat in front of his feet and reminded him with a smile, "Mr. Gu, just wear these slippers."
Gu Zhou's gaze fell heavily on the pair of slippers that were obviously men's size, and he did not move.
A chilling chill instantly filled his eyes.
Doesn't she live alone?
Why are there men's slippers in this room?
So, when she mentioned casually before about "inviting friends to have hotpot at home", did it also include men?
Who is it?
Did you come alone? Or in a group?
How close is the relationship? Is it so close that you can even enter the house and even need to prepare special slippers?
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, he just stared at the slippers.
Wang Yuanling was stunned for a second: "This pair is new, Mr. Gu, don't worry about wearing it."
Gu Zhou asked casually, "Mr. Ling used to often invite friends to his house? He even provided men's slippers."
Wang Yuanling's watery eyes paused for a moment, and she noticed that he was in a depressed mood.
Qianxiao said, "The friends I invited before were all girls. This pair of slippers was the wrong item when I bought it online. I kept it in my shoe cabinet. It just so happened that Mr. Gu used it today."
Gu Zhou's brows twitched imperceptibly, his deep features appearing even darker and more unpredictable under the illumination of the ceiling light in the entrance hall. "So, I'm the first person of the opposite sex that President Ling has invited home for dinner?"
Facing his scrutinizing gaze, Wang Yuanling smiled gently: "Yes."
Gu Zhou's gaze lingered on her calm face for a few seconds.
The haze that had been lingering in my heart seemed to be quietly dispelled by the three words "first".
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the coldness in his expression faded a lot.
"It's really an honor." His deep voice finally took on a touch of genuine warmth.
He lowered his head and calmly changed into slippers.
Seeing his expression gradually calm down, Wang Yuanling suppressed a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, please take a seat. I'll go and pack my things first."
She bent down and picked up the shopping bag on the ground with quick movements.
"Together." He reached out and grabbed another bag.
Wang Yuanling stood up and chuckled, "It's okay, Mr. Gu, I can do it myself. You have an injury on your hand, so you should sit down and rest."
Gu Zhou didn't comment. He glanced at her with his dark eyes, walked straight past her and headed towards the open kitchen.
Obviously disagree.
Wang Yuanling stared at him and followed with a curved lip.
