However, to Gu Nanqing and Xu Xiaoxiao's surprise, everything was under Gu Yiming's control.
It turns out that although Gu Yiming himself did not stay at the Gu residence, he had planted spies there to keep an eye on Xu Xiaoxiao's every move.
What happened last night did not escape the eyes of the informant; he discovered and saw it all.
The informant secretly contacted Gu Yiming and reported the whole story to him.
After listening to his informant's report, he instructed him, "Continue to observe, and report immediately if there are any unusual movements." After hanging up the phone, Gu Yiming smiled with satisfaction.
The fact that Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't resist having a relationship with Gu Nanqing at the Gu residence shows that the "drug" has taken effect. All the acting he put on before was worthwhile. Things are indeed developing in the direction he set, even faster than he expected.
He didn't care about Xu Xiaoxiao's reputation. Ever since Xu Xiaoxiao attacked Jiang Hua, she should have known that she wouldn't have a good ending. Thinking this, Gu Yiming dialed Xu Xiaoxiao's phone number; he should at least say hello to her.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, feeling upset. She hadn't eaten breakfast and felt a growing hunger in her stomach, but she had no time to think about it.
Xu Xiaoxiao was still consumed by regret. Last night's passionate encounter, though enjoyable, had left many hidden dangers. Gu Nanqing had promised her he wouldn't tell anyone, but she was naturally worried; it concerned what she cared about most. She had gone to great lengths to be with Gu Yiming, but a moment of carelessness in this matter had caused her to lose her integrity. Xu Xiaoxiao was particularly afraid that if things were exposed, she would lose Gu Yiming.
Just then, her phone rang, interrupting Xu Xiaoxiao's thoughts. She picked up the phone and saw the three words "Gu Yiming" flashing on the screen.
Normally, Xu Xiaoxiao would have answered the phone immediately, but this time she hesitated. The phone rang melodiously, urging the guilty Xu Xiaoxiao to answer. She hesitated for a moment, composed herself, and finally answered the phone.
"What are you doing?" Gu Yiming's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. The phone rang for a while before he answered, but he was very patient. Xu Xiaoxiao, his prey, had already fallen into his trap, and he was just waiting to reel her in.
"I'm just staying here. What else can I do but idle?" Xu Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Gu Yiming was usually like she was on steroids, always full of energy and enthusiasm. But now she was indifferent and showed no joy whatsoever. She answered listlessly, unaware of her usual unease.
Gu Yiming naturally knew why Xu Xiaoxiao's attitude was so cold, but he didn't expose her. "Let's have lunch together. I'll pick you up," he said casually, inviting Xu Xiaoxiao to meet him.
"No, no, I mean, no need. I'm not feeling well and just want to rest at home. I don't want to go out and cause trouble." Hearing that Gu Yiming was coming over, Xu Xiaoxiao panicked and stammered. Gu Nanqing had tormented her like he hadn't seen a woman in ages last night. Her neck and body were covered in hickeys and bruises, and she couldn't go out in public, let alone be seen by Gu Yiming. Without thinking, Xu Xiaoxiao refused Gu Yiming's invitation.
"Are you feeling unwell? Where do you feel unwell? Is it serious? How about I go back to check on you at noon and take you to the hospital?" Gu Yiming said with concern. Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao use her feeling unwell as an excuse, he felt even more "concerned" about her.
Normally, Xu Xiaoxiao would be overjoyed to hear Gu Yiming showing her such concern, but at this moment, she was not fortunate enough to enjoy his care. "Oh dear, I'm just feeling a little unwell. I'll be fine after resting for a while. You don't need to come over," Xu Xiaoxiao said irritably.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go home right away and take you to the hospital. Wait for me." As he said this, Gu Yiming was about to hang up and go back, and Xu Xiaoxiao's heart jumped into her throat.
"Gu Yiming! I told you I'm not feeling well and I just want to lie down for a while. Don't come and bother me! Did you hear me?!" Because she was worried that Gu Yiming's presence would expose her, Xu Xiaoxiao became angry and embarrassed. She couldn't help but lash out at Gu Yiming, her tone extremely harsh.
"Okay, okay, I won't go, but you must tell me if you feel unwell, understand?" Faced with Xu Xiaoxiao's inexplicable anger, Gu Yiming kindly didn't care, after all, he knew why Xu Xiaoxiao was afraid to see him.
"Okay, I understand. I need to rest and recuperate for a while. You're busy with work, so you don't need to come see me. I'll be fine after resting for a bit." Hearing that Gu Yiming wouldn't be coming, Xu Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved. She took this opportunity to use this excuse to make sure that Gu Yiming didn't have to come until the hickeys on her body disappeared.
"Okay, whatever you say. Call me whenever you miss me, and I'll come see you," Gu Yiming said gently to Xu Xiaoxiao. He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't dare to contact him first these days.
"Okay, I understand. Focus on your work. I'll contact you when I'm feeling better." After seeing Gu Yiming off, Xu Xiaoxiao felt relieved and her attitude softened.
"Okay." Gu Yiming hung up the phone, in a great mood.
He hadn't originally intended to meet and have dinner with Xu Xiaoxiao; he was merely testing her. Once she took the bait, he was just waiting to reel her in.
After finishing his work, Gu Yiming, unusually in the mood, went out for drinks with his assistant, Jin Yu.
The two arrived at the "Night" bar, sat at the bar, and each ordered a drink.
Jin Yu was unaware of how things had progressed, and he was quite surprised by Gu Yiming's good interest.
After Jiang Hua went to the United States, his mood remained low. Although he had taken the initiative to send her there to relax, it seemed that his good mood had been taken with her. He was constantly in a gloomy mood, causing his employees to be extremely cautious at work, fearing that a single mistake would lead to a scolding.
Today, Gu Yiming seemed to have shaken off the gloom of the past few days and even had the interest to go out for drinks. Jin Yu felt that she could understand her boss less and less.
"Jinyu, I've taken care of everything here. Pack your things, we're going to America tomorrow." Gu Yiming said, taking a sip of his whiskey. He sat at the bar, his suit and tie making him stand out in the crowd. Many girls in the bar were eyeing him, eager to strike up a conversation.
No wonder, no wonder! So he went to America to find Jiang Hua. Jin Yu finally understood why Gu Yiming was in such a good mood.
"Okay, I'll make the call and arrange it right away."
The two were preparing to travel to the United States.
