Chapter 402: Unspeakable
Tan Wenzhou was just about to invite Wang Yuanling to have dinner together tonight.
The cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID.
He smiled apologetically at Wang Yuanling and said, "Sorry, I have to take a call. It's Xiaoguan."
Wang Yuanling smiled: "Well, it's okay, you take it."
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the bathroom door.
She didn't think that Chen Guan's call was a coincidence...
After hanging up the phone, Tan Wenzhou held the phone and looked at Wang Yuanling with confusion.
Wang Yuanling noticed that his expression was not right, so he stood up and said considerately: "Brother Zhou, if Mr. Chen wants to talk to you about something, you should go back quickly."
Tan Wenzhou was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Yuan Ling, Xiao Guan suddenly said that he had something urgent to discuss with me, and he said it was extremely urgent and asked me to go over right now."
Wang Yuanlingwan and Xiaoxiao said: "Brother Zhou, you don't have to apologize. From what Mr. Chen said, I think it's very important to come to you, so you should go back quickly."
Tan Wenzhou pursed his lips: "Yuan Ling, are you free tonight?"
Wang Yuanling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he hesitated with just the right amount of hesitation: "Tonight, not necessarily yet, because I have to start working on the procedures for Health City soon, and I'll have to see how to arrange it later."
Tan Wenzhou looked disappointed: "Is that so..."
Wang Yuanling looked at him and smiled, comforting him: "It's okay, Brother Zhou. When I'm done with this busy period, I'll ask you out again. I'll treat you to a meal."
Tan Wenzhou smiled gently, his eyes filled with gentle brilliance: "Okay, I'll wait until you're done."
Wang Yuanling sent the person to the gate.
Tan Wenzhou turned around reluctantly and looked at her standing inside the door: "Then I'll leave first."
Wang Yuanling smiled slightly and waved at him: "Well, be careful on the road. Thank you for the breakfast, I will eat it well."
Tan Wenzhou looked back every few steps.
Until he disappeared into the elevator.
She then closed the door.
The bathroom door was then opened from the inside.
Gu Zhou walked out with a lazy look of interest on his face.
His dark eyes casually glanced at the wonton bowl on the dining table, and he asked casually, "Do you still like wontons?"
Wang Yuanling followed his gaze and smiled slightly, "This place tastes really good. I didn't expect Brother Zhou to be so thoughtful and buy it for me."
Gu Zhou's eyes were filled with distraction: "Oh? How good is it?"
Wang Yuanling paused: "Mr. Gu, do you want to try it?"
Gu Zhou was not polite at all: "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
After saying that, he sat down and picked up the bowl of wontons and ate it with relish.
Wang Yuanling was staring at him, waiting for him to finish his first bite before giving his comments.
But unexpectedly, Gu Zhou kept eating.
The moment you put down the bowl.
The soup is empty.
He took a tissue and slowly wiped the corner of his mouth. Then he raised his eyelids and lazily commented, "It's really not bad."
Wang Yuanling laughed dryly: "This place uses real ingredients, so the taste is very good."
As Gu Zhou stood up, he picked up the packaging bowl, walked to the kitchen, and threw it into the trash can.
He picked up the opened bag of dumplings on the table, glanced at Wang Yuanling sideways, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a tone of nonchalant "apology".
"Sorry, Mr. Ling, I ate your breakfast. As compensation, I'll cook dumplings for you. Can you go wash up first?"
Wang Yuanling reasonably suspected that he had eaten it all on purpose.
She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu."
"You're welcome." He shrugged. "After all, I've disturbed Mr. Ling all night, so I have to express my gratitude."
Wang Yuanling said, "Mr. Gu, you're welcome. It's just a small favor for me to help."
Gu Zhou nodded lazily and put the dumplings into the pot.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanling said, "Then I'll go wash up first."
Gu Zhou didn't even turn his head, his eyes focused on the dumplings sinking to the bottom of the pot, and he replied lazily, "Yeah."
I heard the bathroom door close.
Gu Zhou's dark gaze moved from the pot to the closed door.
The scrutiny in his black eyes deepened.
When Wang Yuanling opened the door and came out.
The house was empty.
On the dining table, there was a bowl of steaming dumplings.
Next to the bowl, there was a note.
Her watery eyes paused.
Walk over and pick up the note.
Gu Zhou wrote in a sharp handwriting: The locksmith company is here, I'm going back to change clothes, come and call me when you're ready.
She put the note down, her eyes fell on the bowl of plump dumplings floating on the soup, and she smiled silently.
Pull out a chair and enjoy breakfast without having to cook it yourself.
-
Gu family.
Sitting on the office chair, Gu Zhou held a cigarette between his fingertips and blew out a smoke ring.
His eyes and brows were blurred in the rising smoke.
"Mr. Gu." Special Assistant Qin knocked on the door and came in.
Gu Zhou raised his black eyes slightly.
Watching Special Assistant Qin coming over with a tablet in his arms.
When she stood in front of him, she handed the tablet over and said, "Mr. Gu, the hotel has sent over the menu for Young Master Yi's engagement banquet. There are several types. Which one would you like to choose?"
Gu Zhou glanced at the screen lazily and said nonchalantly: "Send it to my mom."
Special Assistant Qin hesitated: "Uh, the old lady said that you should choose it yourself. She said that you are the eldest brother and you have to help Master Yi plan the engagement banquet. There can be no mistakes."
Special Assistant Qin didn't understand the hidden meaning.
But Gu Zhou knew.
He raised his lips and sneered in an ambiguous manner.
He put the cigarette between his lips and waved casually to Special Assistant Qin: "Give it to me."
Special Assistant Qin immediately handed over the tablet with both hands.
Gu Zhou quickly glanced at the screen, then tossed the tablet back to Special Assistant Qin: "Type A."
Assistant Qin glanced at the screen. It was Type A, primarily seafood. "Alright, and I've already compiled the guest list for the engagement party. Would you like to review it now?"
Gu Zhou looked relaxed: "No need, don't miss out on the important guests I mentioned earlier."
Special Assistant Qin said, "I've checked everything, and they're all on the invitation list." He then said, "Boss Gu, what about Boss Ling? Do you want to invite them?"
Gu Zhou didn't respond. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, tilted his chin up, and lazily exhaled a puff of smoke upwards, looking unrestrained and uninhibited.
Special Assistant Qin quietly observed his expression and waited patiently for his reply.
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate not to invite my partner?" He said lazily, as if speaking to Assistant Qin, but also as if speaking to himself.
Special Assistant Qin: "Yes...but, as for the old lady..." He hesitated to speak.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and said, "There's no need to inform them about this. I'll prepare the invitation to President Ling myself."
Qin Special Assistant had no choice but to respond: "Okay, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou stood up from his seat, picked up the suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair, lifted it up, put it on neatly, took the cigarette from his lips, and held it between his slender fingers.
When Special Assistant Qin saw him putting on his suit, he asked, "Mr. Gu, are you going out?"
Gu Zhou said slowly and lazily: "Well, the meeting at 3 pm will proceed as usual. I will be back before the meeting." After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Drive all the way to the ground parking space in front of Wang’s Building.
He got out of the car and was about to walk through the gate.
A familiar female voice came from the side, with a hint of joy in it: "Brother Zhou?!"
Gu Zhou looked in the direction of the voice.
When he saw the woman's face clearly, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
