Chapter 413 It Has Nothing to Do with Me
Wang Yuanling forced himself to shake off his wild thoughts and smiled politely: "Then I'll call Mr. Gu next time and ask in advance if you are free to have dinner together."
Gu Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
Then he said lazily: "Didn't you say it was delicious? Why don't you eat it?"
Wang Yuanling immediately scooped another bowl for Tan Wenzhou: "Come, Brother Zhou."
Tan Wenzhou took it with both hands and smiled at her: "Thank you Yuan Ling."
"You're welcome."
The waiter didn't lie.
This eel is really delicious and very elastic.
It must be very fresh to have this taste.
But she wasn't eating with much concentration.
Because most of his attention was on Gu Zhou who was eating happily.
It seems to be noticed out of the corner of my eye.
Gu Zhou suddenly raised his eyelids.
Wang Yuanling, who was peeking, was caught off guard.
Gu Zhou frowned and sneered.
Her conspiracy was not exposed.
even so.
Wang Yuanling still lowered his eyes guiltily.
Tan Wenzhou held the bowl, and his eyes behind the frame kept wandering between them.
Naturally, he didn't miss the breathtaking, subtle atmosphere that permeated the air after this brief eye contact. It was a silent exchange that existed only between the two of them, a communication difficult for others to intrude upon.
Tan Wenzhou's knuckles turned slightly white as he held the bowl. An indescribable feeling of dullness blocked his chest, making the porridge in his mouth tasteless.
The porridge gradually ran out.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanling stood up and wanted to pay the bill.
Tan Wenzhou immediately stopped her: "Yuan Ling, I'll buy it. As agreed, I asked you out for dinner, and it's my treat."
After he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to pass over Gu Zhou's face unintentionally, with a hint of imperceptible temptation.
Gu Zhou's expression was still distracted, as if he was out of the matter. He showed no reaction to his gaze or words, and only slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue.
Looking at Tan Wenzhou's back as he walked towards the front desk with the menu.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and said casually, "No wonder President Ling didn't invite me. It turns out she wanted to have dinner alone with Wenzhou."
So sarcastic and sour.
Wang Yuanling looked at his carefree expression, and her mind automatically pictured Fei Jiayi's determined look. She felt a surge of anger in her heart for no reason: "Mr. Gu has so many people around him. I can't afford to steal their time."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Why are there so many people?"
Wang Yuanling curled her fingertips tightly and said, "You'll have to ask Mr. Gu himself."
Gu Zhou's lazy upper body suddenly leaned forward, and his deep eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at her without blinking, leaving her no room to dodge.
"Oh?" His tone rose at the end, with a dangerous inquiry. "'Too many people'? What are you talking about, Mr. Ling... How come I don't know who's around me? Tell me, who are these 'too many people' specifically?"
Wang Yuanling was pinned to the spot by his compelling gaze, her breath choking. She opened her mouth, and Fei Jiayi's name almost slipped out, but she swallowed it back.
She gave an impeccable smile: "Boss Gu will know."
Watch her reaction of deliberately skipping over the question.
Gu Zhou's dark eyes showed deep meaning.
He glanced at Tan Wenzhou who was still paying the bill.
He grabbed her wrist, pulled her up, and dragged her away without saying goodbye.
Wang Yuanling was stunned: "Hey, Mr. Gu."
But Gu Zhou didn't stop at all.
Those long legs kept moving.
She was practically being dragged away.
After paying the bill, Tan Wenzhou turned around.
I saw the empty table.
His usually gentle and warm expression suddenly became gloomy.
He gripped the phone so tightly that his knuckles almost turned white.
Being pulled along all the time.
Wang Yuanling was wearing high heels and was pulled by him, stumbling and kicking her toes quickly to barely keep up.
She was very tired when she was pulled halfway.
The depression accumulated in my heart burst out.
She pulled it back with all her strength, gnashing her teeth as she uttered his name: "Gu Zhou! What are you doing!"
Feel her pull back.
Gu Zhou finally stopped.
He turned suddenly, and his tall figure enveloped her in the shadow of the street lamp in the deepening dusk.
His dark, deep eyes fixed on her, and he spoke each word with great emphasis: "I think it's inconvenient for Boss Ling to talk there. Isn't this about finding a suitable place to talk, so that it will be convenient for you?"
Wang Yuanling was furious, but he tried his best to keep a gentle expression: "How could you just pull me away like this? What about Brother Zhou? He came here in my car."
I could hear her worry about Tan Wenzhou.
Gu Zhou's eyes narrowed for a moment, a chill gleaming in his squinting eyes. "What kind of child is he who can't take care of himself? He can take a taxi back by himself."
Wang Yuanling was puzzled: "He is your friend, how could you treat him like this?"
Gu Zhou said in a deep voice: "Why, are you heartbroken?"
Wang Yuanling frowned, "What does this have to do with heartache?"
"If you're not heartbroken, then why are you condemning me for him?"
"I..." Wang Yuanling's frustration was completely ignited. "Okay, yes, I do feel bad. I feel bad that he was suddenly abandoned by the two of us for no apparent reason. What's wrong?"
Gu Zhou remained silent, his sharp eyes almost piercing her face. He slightly opened his lips, obviously wanting to say something, but trying hard to hold it back.
Wang Yuanling tried to pull his hand back.
But her wrist was still held in his iron-like grip and could not be pulled at all.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her surging emotions. The annoyance in her watery eyes had not subsided, but instead added a layer of coldness: "Mr. Gu, please explain, what exactly do you want to do by suddenly pulling me out?"
Gu Zhou's sharp eyes scanned her face, as if trying to catch any slight flaw.
After a moment, he seemed to have grasped the key point. His eyes suddenly became deep and unfathomable, and his voice became even lower, with a kind of insightful tentativeness: "Who did you meet?"
Wang Yuanling's long eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly.
She raised her eyes and met his scrutinizing gaze without hesitation. The corners of her lips even curved into a cold arc as she asked, "Who do you think, Mr. Gu, I'm going to meet?"
She asked in a rhetorical manner.
It also made Mr. Gu's guess come true.
In an instant.
His dark eyes were filled with emotions that she couldn't understand.
His Adam's apple rolled hard, and his voice was suppressed and low: "Have you seen Fei Jiayi? Did she come to see you?"
Wang Yuanling's heart sank suddenly. The cold name came out of his mouth as if in confirmation, like a needle piercing his heart.
She was silent for a few seconds, the curve of her lips becoming more and more sarcastic, but her eyes were as cold as ice: "So Mr. Gu knew her name. Then I want to ask Mr. Gu why you lied to me and said you didn't know her when you clearly knew her."
Gu Zhou's rough fingertips slid across her delicate wrist. His Adam's apple rolled as he spoke, "What did she say to you?"
"It doesn't matter what she said. Even if she said something, it's a 'private matter' between Mr. Gu and her, and has nothing to do with me." There was a hint of alienation in Wang Yuanling's light voice.
Gu Zhou's brows suddenly became stern.
