Chapter 92: Ensnaring 23
When Gu Rong came to the small garden, he found that there were many familiar people here.
At first sight, his eyes met Ling Xiao's.
After the last New Year's Eve, the rhythm between them slowed down, like a stretched and taut string that relaxed slightly. However, tension would pull the two ends apart, while loosening would bring them closer. They knew they were still tied together, but in this situation, they could do nothing about it. After all, if only one end wanted to stretch it, it would not be able to tighten.
However, this was the first time he and Ling Xiao met since New Year's Eve.
In this situation.
When he walked over, the waiters around him were still talking.
"So rich! It turns out the boss's family is really that rich."
"Hasn't it been spread a long time ago? Otherwise, how could Yunshuihe give us so many benefits? Even in business, they don't even think of us when they hold a party at home."
"It's great to be able to make a lot of money today."
"Actually, if you want, just agree to the one pursuing you. That person should always choose you every time he comes to Yunshui River."
"My job requires it. He paid me money, and I provided service and emotional value. It's an equal exchange. He feels great now, but if you exclude those factors, it's not necessarily the same. After all, when you switch from being a service partner to a lover, you can't just provide emotional value unilaterally. I have needs, too, but right now I don't feel that kind of return."
"Well, that's what I mean. I really can't understand those who fall in love with customers. I always feel that nothing good will come of it. Although I don't mean that those customers are necessarily bad."
"In fact, there is no guarantee, so it's better not to start. After all, those who are willing to spend money are basically rich. How can the rich compare to us in sincerity? The gap is too big."
Gu Rong listened silently all the way without saying a word.
It was not until they were almost at the small garden that the people around them stopped talking at the same time.
The people here are either rich or noble. Even those who are about the same age as them are not people they can afford to offend, so it is better to be careful at all times.
But as soon as they arrived, they noticed someone walking towards them.
Several people couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Could it be that I heard what they just talked about?
Then the next second, the person stood in front of Gu Rong.
Ling Xiao looked at him with a hint of surprise on his face. He obviously didn't expect to see Gu Rong here.
"How did you—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Gu Rong take a step back.
Gu Rong whispered, "I'm working."
Ling Xiao paused, sensing that the little snail seemed to be about to retract into its shell again.
What's going on?
Is he going to die in the light?
At this time, the alpha's five senses, which are superior to those of ordinary people, came into play, and he noticed that many eyes around him seemed to be gathering around him, as if they were secretly observing them.
Gu Rong walked around Ling Xiao and went to the long table with the others, preparing to put the food in their hands on it one by one.
"Gu Rong, do you work in Yunshui River?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and it started out very bluntly.
Lu Cheng didn't know when he stood opposite Gu Rong and glanced at the tray in Gu Rong's hand: "Is there any juice? Give me a glass."
Gu Rong paused and replied that there was, then took out a glass of juice from the tray that had not been put down yet and handed it to Lu Cheng.
Snap——
"Oops, sorry, I didn't catch it properly."
Lu Cheng accidentally dropped the juice on the ground with the grass under his feet. The glass did not break, but all the juice splashed out. Because it was very close to Gu Rong, a large part of it splashed on Gu Rong's shoes and pants. The orange liquid dripped from Gu Rong's pants to the grass.
Gu Rong glanced at Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng still had an apologetic expression on his face, but there was no genuine apology in the words he said.
"Please clean up here. This is also within your scope of responsibility, right?"
Lu Cheng asked knowingly, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, can you bring me another cup later? I still want to try this flavor of juice."
The conversation between the two also attracted other people.
Including the time when Ling Xiao took the initiative to walk up to Gu Rong. Although they didn't exchange many words and Gu Rong even walked around Ling Xiao in less than a minute, it still attracted the attention of many people.
Especially those who had just been secretly talking about Ling Xiao.
Jing Shuang and his men looked over curiously.
"Lu Cheng, do you know each other?"
"yes."
Lu Cheng nodded immediately, as if to introduce Gu Rong to them: "He is my classmate, but I didn't know he worked in Yunshui River."
When they heard the words "Yunshui River", Jing Shuang and others couldn't help but look at Gu Rong again, and then looked at each other.
They were about the same age and had just finished talking about things related to Yunshui River. Unexpectedly, they ran into Lu Cheng's classmate here, and the other party actually worked in Yunshui River. In addition, thinking about the conversation between this person and Ling Xiao just now, yes, if he was a classmate of Lu Cheng, then he was naturally a classmate of Ling Xiao as well, but Ling Xiao had never been so proactive in talking to an omega.
"By the way, does Ling Xiao know that you work at Yunshui River?"
After Lu Cheng finished asking, he looked at Jing Shuang and the others: "You may not know, he and Ling Xiao are deskmates."
After he finished speaking, when they heard the word "classmate", the look in Jing Shuang's eyes changed obviously.
Yunshuihe works and sits at the same table with Ling Xiao, who is also an omega. Just now, Ling Xiao took the initiative to go over to him... For a moment, Gu Rong's image flashed through the minds of everyone.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be stared at.
What's more, there were some strange looks.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a while, but still walked over from not far away.
He saw Gu Rong took out several tissues, turned his back, and was about to squat down. Lu Cheng was standing opposite him.
Ling Xiao quickly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Rong's arm, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"
He should have come earlier.
But Gu Rong's attitude made him hesitate. He was afraid that if he followed immediately, Gu Rong would shrink back.
Ling Xiao looked down and saw a wet spot on the lawn, and also saw stains on Gu Rong's shoes and pants.
A little regretful.
He should have come earlier.
"He just knocked over a glass of juice and was just cleaning it up."
Lu Cheng looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Or are you going to ask someone else to clean up for him?"
Ling Xiao looked over, his face expressionless, his voice sinking a bit: "Why not?"
Lu Cheng suddenly choked and his face looked a little ugly.
"Ling Xiao, you're quite nice to your deskmate."
At this time, Jing Shuang also spoke up: "But my cousin invited them here to help. If you let them take the money without working, what will others think of him?"
On the surface, these words seemed to be for Gu Rong's sake, but if you think about it carefully, it seemed to be reminding Gu Rong, letting him remember his identity here. It also seemed to be reminding Ling Xiao that a guest should not arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the host family. It was not polite. Even if they did not want to offend the Ling family, they were in the right.
Gu Rong reached out and held Ling Xiao down, whispering, "It's okay, no need to find anyone else, I can clean it up myself—"
Before he could finish his words, Ling Xiao took the tissue from his hand and squatted down.
For a moment, the others also fell silent.
Jing Shuang opened her mouth, completely surprised.
The others also looked at each other in bewilderment, having never expected Ling Xiao to do such a thing.
Moreover, Ling Xiao not only squatted down and used a tissue to clean up the lawn and picked up the glass, but also used another clean one to help Gu Rong wipe his shoes and pants, and helped Gu Rong tidy up his trouser legs. When Gu Rong finally reacted and wanted to bend down to pull Ling Xiao up, he was blocked by Ling Xiao and pinched his hand.
"Just stay still. I won't ask anyone else. Can't I help you myself?"
An alpha, in front of a group of his peers, took the initiative to bend down and do these things.
Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng watched from a distance and even took a small breath.
They seemed to have misjudged the depth of Ling Xiao's feelings for Gu Rong.
Ling Xiao didn't stand up until everything was sorted out.
When he stood up, Gu Rong was still staring at him.
Logically, Ling Xiao should have taken the opportunity to curry favor with Gu Rong and let him remember his kindness, but he reached out and pressed Gu Rong's head, and just asked Gu Rong why he was looking at him, as if he had done something very ordinary. After hearing this, Gu Rong retracted his gaze, then turned back and said thank you.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Can't he do it himself? Why does he want you to do it?"
"Ling Xiao, do you know that he works in Yunshui River? Do you know where Yunshui River is—"
"Where is Yunshui River?"
Another voice came from the other side.
An omega with bright features came over, looked at Lu Cheng who was speaking, raised an eyebrow, and asked again: "What do you think Yunshui River is?"
Lu Cheng recognized the person. It was his cousin, Jing Xing, whom Jing Shuang had just talked about with others.
Although they are both omega, Jing Xing looks a bit tough to deal with.
Lu Cheng stuttered and subconsciously looked towards Jing Shuang: "I just... I just heard Jing Shuang and the others mention-"
As soon as he said that, Lu Cheng felt a little regretful.
Jing Shuang and the others couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Cheng, feeling a little annoyed.
By saying this, aren't you putting the blame on them, as if they said something?
"Cousin, we—"
Jing Shuang stepped forward and wanted to explain something.
Jing Xing didn't give them a chance to explain. Instead, he glanced at the people in front of him, then looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Ask Ling Xiao if he knows about Yunshui River?"
"I......"
"Not only do I know about it, I also go there often." Ling Xiao said coldly from the side.
Lu Cheng was speechless for a moment.
Even Jing Shuang and the others opened their mouths in astonishment, as if they had not expected this at all.
Ye Jiqing and Jiang Kangcheng came over. Ye Jiqing raised his hand and said, "I go there often, too, with Brother Xiao."
"Me too."
Jiang Kangcheng said naturally, "It was me who suggested we go there first."
"It's quite fun. Hey, the atmosphere is pretty good."
Ye Jiqing: "Can omegas also go and play?"
Jing Xing shrugged: "As long as you're an adult, you can. There are no restrictions. Omegas are most welcome."
"Hey, what? Alphas and betas are not welcome?"
Ye Jiqing said in a joking tone: "It's a pity that we ordered so many things and spent so much money."
"We don't need you."
""
Finally, Lu Cheng couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to leave.
But when he was leaving, he walked past Gu Rong, bumped into her fiercely, and said in a low voice, "Don't think that you and Ling Xiao can really get together."
When he finished speaking, he had already passed by Gu Rong.
But the next second, Lu Cheng heard Gu Rong's voice——
"Wait a moment."
