She couldn't bear to part with it. If she went downstairs to buy it for him, he might leave by the time she got in touch with him. It wouldn't be worth it.
Finally, Cheng Qicai calmly closed the shoe cabinet door and said, "President Gu, I don't have any extra shoes. You should go barefoot."
"I just mopped the floor, it's not dirty," she explained again. "And I don't mind if your feet smell."
Gu Rongqi glanced at her sideways, snorted coldly, opened the shoe cabinet door, and took out the cutest pair of bear slippers from the cabinet.
With a 'thud,' he threw it on the ground, took off his high-end leather shoes, and shoved one foot into his slippers in one swift motion.
The large paws stretched the little bear's smiling mouth into a straight line, making it seem that even if the paws were removed now, the little bear's appearance would never be restored.
Before he could finish lamenting the little bear's disfigurement, Gu Rongqi leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, loosened his tie, and ordered, "Make me a bowl of hangover soup."
Her elegant and fluid movements, her long, straight legs, and her slightly open neckline captivated Cheng Qicai, who eagerly went to cook him a hangover soup.
When Cheng Qicai got to the kitchen, she realized that she had no idea how to make hangover soup. None of her family members drank alcohol, and she didn't even know what hangover soup was.
She had no choice but to search online.
The ingredients include passion fruit, apples, oranges...
What a terrible hangover soup! I haven't eaten this much fruit in a year, and yet a hangover soup requires so much fruit. I'll get a different one.
Finally, Cheng Qicai placed the cup in front of Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rong frowned as he looked at the transparent water in front of him.
Cheng Qicai, unusually perceptive, understood his expression and explained with a smile, "This isn't just ordinary water; it's a glass of sweet sugar water. I checked, and sugar water can help with hangovers."
"No." Gu Rongqi refused to drink the sugar water.
Cheng Qicai: "..."
Drink it or not, it's up to you to spoil me.
She turned and left in anger. Gu Rongqi acted like a young master in his own home, and she was treated like a maid, giving him orders as if it were his right.
He seems like a respectable, calm, and capable person at work, but when he's drunk, he becomes such an unreasonable person.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
She tried contacting the person again, but still couldn't reach them, and she paced around the room in frustration.
Why don't we find him a hotel? Cheng Qicai thought this was a good idea, so she found his ID card and went to find Gu Rongqi.
As a result, Gu Rongqi was found curled up asleep on the sofa, and the water in the cup on the coffee table was empty.
Her sofa was only about 1.6 meters long, and Gu Rongqi would fall off if he moved even slightly.
She stepped forward and nudged Gu Rongqi awake, "Mr. Gu..."
After several attempts to push him, Cheng Qicai saw his eyelids twitch, and then Gu Rongqi rolled over, turning his back to her.
Seeing that half of his body was suspended in the air, Cheng Qicai pushed him again, "President Gu... President Gu..."
Gu Rongqi felt like there was a mosquito buzzing in his ear, and he opened his eyes impatiently.
Cheng Qicai looked at his cold gaze and shrank back slightly, but still said, "President Gu, I'll take you to the hotel to rest."
“No, I want to take a shower,” Gu Rongqi said bluntly.
"..." Cheng Qicai was speechless. "I don't have any of your clothes here, how are you going to wash them?"
Gu Rongqi ignored them and walked toward the toilet, unbuttoning his shirt as he went.
Cheng Qicai was shocked and grabbed his hand that was unbuttoning his shirt, pressing him down on the sofa, giving him a subtle warning, "Wait, I'll go find you some clothes first."
She searched through the closet for a long time but couldn't find any suitable clothes. However, she did have a nightgown that she had bought for Ms. Yun before but hadn't given it to her yet. It might fit Gu Rongqi, but it would be a bit too short, ending above the knee.
She hesitated before handing it to Gu Rongqi, who gave her a disdainful look and said, "No."
She looked at the bright red and green nightgown in her hand and also felt it was inappropriate.
But there was nothing she could do. It had taken so long, and now it was already past 11:30, and the shops outside had long since closed.
She gritted her teeth and said helplessly, "Mr. Gu, if you don't wear it, you'll have to go to a hotel."
Gu Rongqi frowned and silently took the clothes.
She sighed and went to find toiletries for the capricious CEO Gu.
Are you really going to spend the night at her house?
Toiletries were easy to find; there was one left over from the two-pack, and the towel that came with the washbasin was also there. Shower gel was all I needed.
Once everything was ready, she called Gu Rongqi in and pointed to the toiletries in the basin, "Mr. Gu, please use the things in here."
She was a little worried about Gu Rongqi, who was taking a shower in the bathroom. After all, he was so drunk that he was out of his mind. Would something happen to him in there?
While Gu Rongqi was washing up, she pushed the coffee table to the sofa and placed a quilt between the TV wall and the coffee table.
When Gu Rongqi came out, he was actually wearing that nightgown.
Her damp, low-hanging hair obscured her sharp eyebrows and eyes, and she did indeed resemble Gu Liji somewhat. Cheng Qicai silently took out her phone and took another picture.
If Gu Rongqi remembers what happened tonight, and if he's easily embarrassed, she might not be able to continue working at the company tomorrow.
She lost a high-paying, relaxed job with good benefits, and now she has nowhere to turn to for help.
We still need to take measures to protect it.
These photos are her powerful weapon.
Cheng Qicai pointed to the blanket on the ground: "You can sleep here."
"don't want."
Cheng Qicai was so tired of hearing Gu Rongqi's rejections tonight that she didn't even want to use the honorific anymore. "If you don't want to sleep here, there's nothing I can do. You'll have to leave."
She handed him the hair dryer, then went to wash up herself.
After grabbing her clothes, she sneaked into the bathroom like a thief.
It's so awkward. It's a one-bedroom apartment, and the toilet is outside.
The thought of a strange man staying in her home and using the bathroom he had just used struck Cheng Qicai as odd.
After quickly washing up, she went straight to the bedroom.
She poked her head out of the bedroom door and saw that Gu Rongqi was already lying properly on the quilt she had laid out on the floor. Only then did she feel at ease locking the door and going to bed.
