Chapter 389 Bad Habits
When I heard the message alert sound on my phone.
She was sitting in front of the mirror putting on her earrings.
The earrings were inserted into the ear holes, but the soft rubber that fixed them in place had not yet been inserted.
She instinctively picked up the phone immediately.
The screen lights up.
Gu Zhou: [Early, up?]
Her slender white fingertips began to tap on the screen, typing: [Good morning, Mr. Gu, you can come over now.]
[Open the door for me.]
She hurriedly got up, put on her slippers, and walked to the entrance.
I pressed the door shut and saw the handsome face with unfocused eyebrows and eyes but still clear outlines.
Gu Zhou stood outside the door, the cool breeze in the early morning still seemed to be lingering on the ends of his hair.
He was not wearing formal clothes today. Instead, he was wearing a soft smoky gray cashmere sweater with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his smooth wrists.
It brought his inherent laziness to the extreme.
"Good morning." His voice was slightly hoarse, which was typical of someone who had just woken up. His eyes naturally fell on her fair face and the slightly swaying teardrop-shaped earrings.
Crystal clear and small.
Not exaggerated, the style is very gentle.
It makes her outfit today, a dark grey silk dress with a one-shoulder neckline and a thin white silk cardigan, look even more gentle.
Wang Yuanling turned sideways, her lush, wavy hair sliding down her shoulders. "Good morning, Mr. Gu, please come in."
Gu Zhou put away his admiring gaze and walked in leisurely.
Follow her and walk towards the open kitchen.
"Have you made multi-grain powder?" Smelling the fragrance in the air, he pulled out a high stool and sat down leisurely.
Wang Yuanling brought over two bowls of whole grain flour that had been brewed in advance by the stove.
And two boiled eggs.
She chuckled, "I haven't had such a healthy breakfast in a long time. I also boiled two eggs to make it more nutritionally balanced."
Gu Zhou watched her crack the eggshell and peel off the eggshell with her slender fingertips, revealing the white egg white.
No surprise.
The first one went into his bowl.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and his voice was leisurely: "Thank you, Mr. Ling."
She raised her eyes and smiled brightly: "Mr. Gu, you're welcome."
The two of them sipped the multi-grain noodles one by one. Even though there was not much conversation, the atmosphere was still warm and harmonious.
Gu Zhou put down the spoon and raised his hand to get a tissue.
But she seemed to sense it, and suddenly put down the spoon and reached out to help him draw it.
Seeing this, Gu Zhou's eyes darkened and he whispered, "Don't move."
She paused her fingertips in mid-air and tilted her head in confusion.
It bumped into Gu Zhou's deep black eyes.
He pursed his lips: "I have my own hands, don't always treat me like a child."
Wang Yuanling's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she pondered his words. She said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I just wanted to help. I didn't mean to offend you."
Gu Zhou frowned and snorted with an ambiguous meaning.
There was a hint of helplessness in that voice.
She was confused and her eyebrows moved slightly.
Gu Zhou's eyes were fixed on the bewilderment on her face, and he spoke lazily: "Where did you learn this habit of taking care of others?"
She slowly withdrew her hand from mid-air and laughed dryly: "Sorry, I'm just used to it..."
"Are you used to it?" His voice was heavy. "Used to taking care of others, used to reading their expressions, used to putting others' needs before your own?"
His tone was calm, but it was like a small hammer, gently knocking on her heart.
"I just..."
He interrupted directly: "This is not a habit, it's a bad habit."
She pursed her lips.
I heard his quiet voice admonishing: "It's not illegal not to care about others. There's no need to think about others all the time and forget about yourself. Thoughtfulness is a virtue, but it shouldn't be a bondage."
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she smiled faintly and knowingly: "I understand, thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou glanced at her, reached out, took out a tissue, and handed it to her.
Wang Yuanling:?
Didn’t you say you wouldn’t take care of others?
Facing her scrutinizing gaze, Gu Zhou remained calm and composed, his eyebrows slightly raised: "I lack virtues and need to accumulate them."
Wang Yuanling stared at his matter-of-fact and nonchalant look for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but lift her lips slightly and took the tissue: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou responded indifferently: "Yeah."
-
Just got in the car.
Wang Yuanling leaned over to help Gu Zhou fasten his seat belt.
The slightly curly ends of her hair carried her unique, light floral scent, and inadvertently brushed against Gu Zhou's face, like a feather gently passing by.
The warm feeling wrapped in the fragrance of flowers instantly reached his nose and spread silently.
Gu Zhou's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, and a dark emotion surged in his eyes.
He stared at her well-defined profile without blinking.
"Click." As the seat belt is buckled.
She pushed open and met his deep gaze. She smiled gently without any burden: "Accumulate virtue."
Gu Zhou stared at her for a moment, then chuckled.
Helplessly, he turned his head and looked out the window.
She started the car, a gentle curve at the corner of her lips.
A subtle atmosphere was surging in the cramped car.
When she drove onto the road, Gu Zhou said, "I have an appointment with Ma J at six o'clock tonight."
Wang Yuanling's gaze quickly shifted from the front of the car to his face. "Okay, which hotel should we meet at?"
"Guansheng Restaurant, come pick me up tonight."
It’s okay to go together.
Wang Yuanling responded softly, "Okay, then I'll go pick up Mr. Gu around 5:30."
Gu Zhou said lazily: "Okay."
The car drove into the quick drop-off area at Gu’s gate.
Wang Yuanling glanced outside the car and saw the security guard who came to open the door. He glanced at Gu Zhou and said, "Mr. Gu, see you tonight."
Gu Zhou didn't move. As soon as his lips opened, the car door was opened.
He turned around and looked expressionlessly at the security guard who diligently opened the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu!" the security guard said in a loud voice.
The door is open.
Even if he didn't want to get off the car, he had to.
Gu Zhou pressed his lips into a straight line, suppressing the worry in his heart that his chance to talk to her more was ruined. His gaze returned to her smiling face: "See you tonight."
He took a long step forward.
As soon as I stood firm, I wanted to turn around and look at her.
Then I heard the sound of a door closing.
Before he could talk to her.
The car door has been closed by security.
The security guard who quickly closed the car door was still looking at him with a silly smile.
Gu Zhou: ...Wang Yuanling in the car waved at him through the window, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Gu Zhou looked down at the security guard who was still smiling.
The security guard gradually sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere, and instinctively narrowed his grin, asking nervously, "Mr. Gu?"
Gu Zhou spoke with great emphasis: "Quite a quick reaction?"
The security guard didn't realize the derogatory tone and thought it was a compliment. He bared his teeth, which had just been slightly retracted, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for the compliment."
Gu Zhou was silent.
Immediately, he stepped into the revolving glass with a gloomy face.
Leaving behind a bewildered security guard.
Gu Zhou just entered the hall.
The front desk clerk came over and reported, "Good morning, Mr. Gu. The old lady is here."
A chill flashed across Gu Zhou's eyes, and he said calmly, "I understand."
Then he walked towards the president's special elevator.
