Chapter 61 There is no vinegar for dinner
"Hey, how did you know I was done with the event? I was on my way back to the hotel and hadn't had time to message you, but you called me first."
After the banquet, Ning Mingluo thought that he should talk to Gu Xiucheng, but it was a bit inconvenient in the car, so he planned to return to the hotel and call Gu Xiucheng directly.
"I just finished work and missed you, so I called to see how you were doing."
Gu Xiucheng spoke naturally, but Ning Mingluo felt a little embarrassed.
After the two of them confessed their feelings, Gu Xiucheng would say some sweet words from time to time, but like today, when he was caught off guard, he still felt a little shy when she said she missed him.
Ning Mingluo was silent for too long, but Gu Xiucheng was not in a hurry at all.
Maybe my thin-skinned lover is shy again.
After all, there were other people in the car, and Gu Xiucheng's main purpose of calling was not to make his lover shy, so it was normal to change the subject.
"How long until we get to the hotel?"
"Xiaoxing, how long will it take to get to the hotel?"
"Brother, maybe ten more minutes."
"It'll be about ten minutes to the hotel. What about you? Are you home already?"
"Well, I went to see my grandma yesterday and came back to the apartment today."
"Huh? You went to see grandma yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"
"Grandma would probably be bored since you're on a business trip, so I went over to take a look. She's doing pretty well there."
"Thank you for caring so much about grandma."
"Isn't she also my grandmother? Although she doesn't know about us yet."
Ning Mingluo raised his eyebrows. Why did he feel that he could hear a sense of resentment in Gu Xiucheng's tone?
Gu Xiucheng was asking for a formal relationship with him. Ning Mingluo was amused by his own thoughts and forgot about the shyness he had just felt.
"We're at the hotel now. We'll talk later."
After completing today's work and with Gu Xiucheng calling to check on him, Ning Mingluo felt a lot more relaxed.
Looking at Ning Mingluo's expression, Luo Chen clicked his tongue.
The current Ning Mingluo is very different from the Ning Mingluo she first knew.
Such a cheerful smile had never been seen on Ning Mingluo's face before.
Luo Chen has met all kinds of people in this circle. When he first met Ning Mingluo, although Ning Mingluo behaved very politely, he had a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance. Even the smile on his face, Luo Chen could feel a faint sense of oppression.
But now it’s different, the smile on Ning Mingluo’s face is more genuine.
She likes Ning Mingluo like this, both in terms of work and for personal reasons.
Ning Mingluo always seemed to make her want to favor him a little more.
Luo Chen even wondered if it was because he was getting older that he couldn't help but feel distressed for kids like this.
After sending Ning Mingluo to the room, Luo Chen explained what to do tomorrow and left.
It’s better not to disturb the young couple talking now.
As soon as the staff left, Ning Mingluo called back.
"Is it convenient for video?"
"Can."
When the video was cut, Ning Mingluo was taking off her dress. She had just hung it up when she turned around to look at her mobile phone. Her hand that was hanging the clothes just froze in place.
The screen of the mobile phone is not very big, but the small screen gave Ning Mingluo a great shock.
Gu Xiucheng was wearing white pajamas with none of the buttons on his collar undone.
The collarbone was clearly visible, the pectoral muscles were faintly visible, the light shone on Gu Xiucheng's body, and there was only one word left in Ning Mingluo's mind.
Sexy.
Ning Mingluo had seen how good Gu Xiucheng's figure was, but that was all through touch.
It was the first time he faced it so directly under the light like today. The impact was so great that Ning Mingluo was stunned.
Outside the screen, Gu Xiucheng curled the corners of his lips before adjusting the angle of his phone.
"Are you tidying up your clothes?" Gu Xiucheng seemed unaware of his current state, and his tone was very serious.
Ning Mingluo finally reacted when Gu Xiucheng spoke. He coughed uncomfortably and quickly looked away, not daring to meet Gu Xiucheng's gaze.
It was as if I was the one who had done something bad just now.
"Yes, I...just came back, sorted out my clothes, and planned to take off my makeup later."
"Didn't you ask someone else to help you unload it?"
"Well, we came straight back after the party. We've been working on it all day, so I told them to get some rest early. I can remove my makeup myself."
"Can you put on makeup yourself?"
"Well, when I was on the set before, I didn't have a makeup artist. When I was in a hurry, I had to do it myself. After a long time, I got a little better."
"Baby is amazing."
Gu Xiucheng's low compliment successfully made Ning Mingluo blush again.
Why did he feel that Gu Xiucheng seemed a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was strange at the moment.
"Speak nicely."
"Don't you like me calling you baby?"
Ning Mingluo felt that no matter how he answered this question, it would be wrong, and glared at Gu Xiucheng.
"I need to change my clothes, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Ning Mingluo turned over his phone.
"Do we still have to be so distant with each other?"
The camera was blocked, but Gu Xiucheng's voice could not be covered up. Ning Mingluo felt a little uncomfortable even changing clothes.
After quickly changing her clothes and making sure her clothes were in order, Ning Mingluo picked up her cell phone and deliberately ignored Gu Xiucheng's words.
Ning Mingluo said, "I'll go wash up."
"Luoluo, your ears are so red."
Gu Xiucheng's tone was clearly malicious, and he was clearly making fun of him.
But Ning Mingluo didn't know what to say to refute Gu Xiucheng for a moment.
What on earth had provoked this person today?
"Don't speak in such a tone. If you don't say it, my ears won't turn red."
Hearing Ning Mingluo's delicate tone, Gu Xiucheng on the other side of the video laughed even more happily.
Luoluo is so cute when she acts coquettishly like this.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. You wash up and I'll listen to you."
This feels even weirder.
Ning Mingluo actually wanted to turn the phone in a different direction, but wouldn’t it be worse to let Gu Xiucheng look at the wall?
After a slight hesitation for two seconds, Ning Mingluo decided to maintain the status quo.
"Did anything interesting happen at the banquet today? Did you meet anyone special?"
"I made a new friend today. Oh, and I also met Mr. Tang. He said you asked him to come."
"Well, I was still worried about you. He happened to be nearby, so I called him over."
"Thank you."
"You have to thank me again. Why don't you do something practical?"
Ning Mingluo actually said it subconsciously, but from what Gu Xiucheng said, it seemed that he had some special ideas.
Now Ning Mingluo could be sure that Gu Xiucheng definitely had something to do today, otherwise he would not have spoken to him like that.
After wiping his face, Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng.
"How does Mr. Gu want me to thank you?"
Since Gu Xiucheng has some ideas, it would be better for him to be straightforward. After all, sometimes when Gu Xiucheng starts to pester him, he can hardly stand it.
"If you want to thank me, shouldn't you take the initiative?"
"I took the initiative."
Ning Mingluo rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled. He placed his fingers lightly on the buttons of his pajamas and casually unbuttoned one.
"We can't see each other now. If I take the initiative, you'll be the one who suffers in the end. After all, Mr. Gu is extremely talented."
Gu Xiucheng stared straight at the place where Ning Mingluo's fingers were, and his Adam's apple rolled faster.
"I haven't seen you for two days, so I have to ease my longing for you. Others can touch you and talk to you, but I, your boyfriend, have to stay alone in an empty room. Shouldn't I be given some benefits?"
"Mr. Gu, what did you have for dinner tonight?"
Ning Mingluo changed the topic so quickly that Gu Xiucheng had trouble following his train of thought, but he still answered him subconsciously.
"The secretary ordered dinner. The usual rice and dishes."
"It seems there's no vinegar. Why do I feel sour even through the screen?"
Gu Xiucheng looked at Ning Mingluo without saying a word.
Now it was Ning Mingluo's turn to laugh happily.
"Did Mr. Tang say something to you?"
Gu Xiucheng was afraid that Ning Mingluo would think he was arranging for someone to monitor him, so he explained, "I wanted him to take care of you, but Tang Xiuwen is a gossipy person."
"It seems he really did tell you something. Don't worry, nothing's wrong. The friend I just told you about is Cen Le, and President Tang also knows that he has a lover."
Ning Mingluo felt that he should explain this kind of vinegar clearly.
"I believe you, but that doesn't stop me from feeling uncomfortable, so you still have to compensate me."
"ah?"
Why did Ning Mingluo feel like he had dug a hole and buried himself?
"Baby, it's been two days, and you're really not greedy at all. Do you know how much I'm greedy for you? If I wasn't afraid of scaring you..."
Gu Xiucheng didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning he wanted to express had already been conveyed to the person on the other side of the screen.
Ning Mingluo's ears were just red just now, but now he could clearly feel the heat in his cheeks rising little by little.
I clearly didn't turn on the heater in the bathroom.
"Well, I'll take a shower first."
Gu Xiucheng lowered his voice, "Don't hide."
Ning Mingluo was really obedient and still held the phone obediently.
"Baby, do you think it's appropriate now, or should we wait until you come back?"
Now, through the screen, no matter how excessive it is, it will only help Gu Xiucheng relieve the pressure. But when he goes back, it seems that it will not be something that can be easily fooled.
I thought back to what happened the night before I set off, and the soreness in my hands still lingered.
"I want to take a shower first." Ning Mingluo looked away, not daring to look at Gu Xiucheng.
But the meaning revealed in the words was agreement.
Gu Xiucheng smiled and said, "Go ahead. You can't leave the video."
"Then where do I put my phone?"
"Just leave it in the bathroom, or if you want to continue chatting, you can take me in with you."
"Rogue, just stay over here at the sink."
After saying that, he put his phone aside, took off his clothes and took a shower.
But Ning Mingluo's fair skin was tinged with pink, and even though she knew men couldn't see anything, she still couldn't help feeling shy.
