Chapter 67: Love is not obtained
Xu Ge's eyes darkened, and when his gaze fixed on a certain spot, he suddenly closed his eyes.
Seeing that she was willing, Zhou Zimo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and just as their lips were about to touch.
The phone in the office suddenly rang.
Zhou Zimo's face suddenly turned dark. Xu Ge couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She pushed him shyly.
"Um, your phone is ringing..."
Zhou Zimo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then finally stood up and answered the phone.
Xu Ge leaned on the sofa, staring at the surveillance camera above and raised the corner of his lips.
"Got it, I'll be right there."
Xu Ge turned to look at Zhou Zimo and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zimo's expression was a little gloomy, and he was obviously a little annoyed. He raised his hand and tugged at his tie, but still spoke to her gently.
"There's an urgent meeting. I'll go."
After saying that, he glanced at his watch again and said, "It's almost time to get off work. Wait for me here. After the meeting, we'll go home together, okay?"
Xu Ge nodded, "Is it okay for me to stay in your office?"
Zhou Zimo turned to look at her, and Xu Ge curled the corners of his lips and smiled.
"If I lost some important documents or something..."
Zhou Zimo smiled and said, "Have you watched too much TV drama?"
Xu Ge shrugged. "Then I can take a look, right? There shouldn't be anything confidential, right?"
Zhou Zimo smiled and said, "Just look at it."
Xu Ge smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Zhou Zimo walked to the sofa and couldn't help but touch her cheek before leaving the office.
Xu Ge rubbed his face with his hand, stood up and walked around the office, and finally sat in Zhou Zimo's chair and casually opened a drawer.
She didn't expect to find anything.
If we want to make any progress, we probably have to start with the man named Yu Bo.
After get off work, on the way back, Xu Ge suddenly suggested eating out.
Zhou Zimo called home to inform them that he would not be going back for dinner that night.
Zhou Zimo was a little surprised to see her order two bottles of red wine in one breath.
"Is that too much?"
Xu Ge smiled indifferently, "I was the one who got Uncle Ping drunk."
Zhou Zimo also heard about the last time the two of them drank several bottles of liquor in the wine cellar.
"But I remember you didn't drink before, and your alcohol tolerance wasn't very good."
Xu Ge poured a glass of brandy for both of them.
“It’s something I’ve practiced.”
Zhou Zimo raised his glass and looked at her, "Are you having a hard time in America?"
Xu Ge shook his head and then nodded. "No, when I first went there, I used alcohol to numb myself every day. That's how I developed my alcohol tolerance."
Zhou Zimo couldn't help but frown when he saw her raise her head and drink the glass directly after she finished speaking.
"Drink slowly."
Xu Ge smiled and shook his head, holding his chin and looking at him with a smile.
"It's okay, I won't get drunk easily. The last time I met you, I was tricked by someone and was forced to drink mixed wine..."
Zhou Zimo sneered, "I've already vented your anger."
Xu Ge seemed to be in high spirits, looking at him with shining eyes, "Really?"
Zhou Zimo smiled and nodded.
Xu Ge just grinned and stopped asking questions, and continued to pour himself
liquor.
“▓@@▓,
Zimo,
Let’s have a drink.”
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Zhou Zimo didn't want to spoil her fun.
"good,
cheers. "
Drink to the end,
Zhou Zimo's handsome face turned a little red, and Xu Ge felt a little tipsy.
"Ge'er, I really can't drink anymore..."
After Xu Ge drank the last glass of liquor, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'm going to the bathroom."
Zhou Zimo supported his forehead with his left hand and nodded, "Yeah, okay."
Xu Ge stood up and felt a little dizzy, but he quickly recovered and walked towards the bathroom.
Just as they turned around and glanced towards the east, they saw someone seemed to be secretly following them...
She washed her hands in the bathroom. The alcohol was taking effect, but her mind was still clear.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw the man leaning against the wall of the men's bathroom next door and curled the corners of her lips.
She pretended to hold on to the wall and walked slowly forward. When she passed the man, she staggered and leaned her whole body into his arms.
Xu Ge clearly felt the man's body stiffen, and the next second his wrist was strangled forcefully.
“Hiss, it hurts…”
Xu Ge raised his head with hazy eyes, his expression and vision a little dazed, and shook his head slightly.
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean it. Can you please let me go first?"
The man stared at her with a cold face for a long time before shaking off her hand. He also took out a tissue and wiped his hands in front of her.
Xu Ge held his wrist and bit his lip as if feeling a little aggrieved.
"Hey, are you going too far? How can you be so rude to a girl?"
The man's expression was a little stiff, and the disgust in his eyes was unconcealed, as if she were some kind of dirty thing.
Xu Ge couldn't help laughing in his heart. It was really strange.
It was the first time she had seen a man who hated her so much.
unless……
Something seemed to flash through Xu Ge's dizzy mind, but it was so fast that she couldn't catch it clearly.
At this moment, Zhou Zimo's voice sounded from the front.
"Ge'er, what's wrong?"
Xu Ge narrowed his eyes and turned to look over.
"Zimo..."
Zhou Zimo quickly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. Especially after seeing her bruised wrist, his expression suddenly turned ugly and he turned to look at the person beside him.
Xu Ge leaned in his arms and could naturally feel Zhou Zimo's body stiffen for a moment.
Zhou Zimo's rage grew when he saw Yu Bo's face, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
Yu Bo refused to be outdone and just stared at them grimly.
Especially after seeing Xu Ge in his arms, he seemed to let out a very short sneer and disdain.
Xu Ge felt Zhou Zimo's body becoming increasingly stiff, so she spoke softly.
"Zimo, I just bumped into this gentleman by accident."
Zhou Zimo then withdrew his gaze and looked down at her, as if sizing her up carefully.
"How are you?"
Xu Ge nodded. She leaned on Zhou Zimo's shoulder and whispered, "Zimo, I feel a little dizzy. It seems I drank too much. Let's go home, okay?"
Zhou Zimo was upset. He nodded immediately and wanted to take her away immediately.
So he just picked the person up and turned away.
Xu Ge put his arms around Zhou Zimo's neck, his half-closed eyes fixed on Yu Bo.
The brutality that the man instantly released was too obvious.
But what shocked Xu Ge even more was the look in Yu Bo's eyes when he looked at them.
Pain, confusion, hatred and murderous intent.
Xu Ge slowly closed his eyes and began to think. The two knew each other.
And the relationship between the two should be very good, but it seems that is not the case.
The look in Yu Bo's eyes when he looked at Zhou Zimo was so frightening that she didn't even dare to think any further.
In the surveillance video, Zhou Zimo expressed his disgust and hatred towards Bo.
The hazy thread in my mind seemed to gradually become clear.
No, that painful look clearly means that the love is not returned.
Inexplicably, Xu Ge had a guess in her mind, which made her feel cold.
