Chapter 60: Is it coaxed or not?
Just as he was about to explode, one of the leading ladies stepped forward with a professional yet friendly smile on her face and a voice so sweet it could squeeze out honey:
"Hello, Mr. Gu. These were specially selected for you by Mr. Ji. He specifically requested that all items be ordered in your name, and the invoices and purchase records will clearly indicate your personal purchases."
She paused, as if remembering something, and the smile on her face became a little subtle, even tinged with envy, as she repeated the original words of the great man:
"Mr. Ji said... uh, 'A husband's money is for his wife to spend. It's only natural. Let him spend it as he pleases. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't spend it all.'"
Gu Yuan: “…………”
Oh my God! Who will take this monster away?
A surge of heat suddenly rose up, and he just wanted to explode on the spot!
Social death! This is blatant social death!
And it’s a deluxe enhanced version!
The neighbors on the entire floor must have witnessed this breathtaking scene through the cat’s eye!
"No! Not at all! Take it away! Now! Immediately!"
Gu Yuan was so angry that his voice was broken. He just wanted to shut everything in front of him and those embarrassing words out of the door immediately.
He felt like he was about to have a myocardial infarction and urgently needed oxygen.
Ji Yunzhou's romantic offensive is not romantic at all, it is a terrorist attack!
It was a precise attack on Gu Yuan's heart and face!
This is a catastrophic level of misunderstanding!
However, the deliverymen were well-trained and obviously experienced in dealing with customers' reactions after such "surprises".
They pushed the large boxes into the door swiftly and irresistibly, their faces still maintaining that professional smile that said "I understand, I understand everything, but I'm sorry, I can't do what you say."
"Mr. Gu, please don't make things difficult for us."
The leading lady softened her tone, but remained remarkably firm: "Mr. Ji has instructed that we must personally see that the items are properly delivered to you. If we take them back as they are, we might lose our jobs."
Another little girl also whispered in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Gu, please accept it reluctantly..."
"Who wants to force it? Is this something that can be forced?"
Gu Yuan was roaring madly in his heart, but looking at the pleading and slightly frightened eyes of the ladies, he could not vent his anger and almost got internal injuries from holding it in.
He couldn't really let someone lose his job just because of his "shame and anger".
In the end, he could only watch as the boxes invaded his entrance, and then with a "bang", he slammed the door shut, blocking out any possible prying eyes from the outside world.
At this moment, Ji Yunzhou was standing downstairs of the apartment building, leaning against a valuable black luxury car, holding his mobile phone, listening to reports from all parties, and thinking that his arrangements were thoughtful and perfect.
"Well, the flowers were signed for? Very good."
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that the search engine's first suggestion, "Send flowers to express love," was effective.
"Lunch was delivered too? Great." The second item, "Sharing a romantic meal," was executed smoothly.
"Did the clothes and jewelry also arrive?"
He paused and heard Mu Jin's hesitant reply from the other end of the phone: "...But Mr. Gu seems even angrier? He almost threw the thing out..."
The curve of Ji Yunzhou's mouth froze instantly, and he frowned in confusion: "Why?"
He hung up the call and looked down at the densely packed search results on his phone screen again.
"How to make your lover happy", "Ten ways to express love", "Let him/her feel that you care"...
He sent flowers, meals, and gifts, step by step, strictly following the instructions. Which step went wrong?
Lord Ghost King held the phone in his hand, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion.
He raised his head depressedly and looked towards the window of Gu Yuan's apartment.
So...what should we do?
Gu Yuan's emotions are really complicated and difficult to understand.
His great strength and abundant wealth seemed to be of no use at this moment.
In fact, after Gu Yuan closed the door, he sulked at the pile of boxes for ten minutes.
In the largest box at his feet, the logo of a top brand's new season products was flashing arrogantly at him.
He kicked the box, but it didn't move at all, which made him look a little childish.
Another five minutes passed before he stole a glance at the box.
Ten minutes later, he seemed to accidentally rub against the box and touched it with his toes.
"...Humph, you have good taste."
He muttered softly, but finally couldn't help himself and opened the package.
The clothes inside were soft to the touch and the colors were what he liked.
There was also a velvet box next to it. When I opened it, I saw a watch with a simple yet highly recognizable design, although the price tag had been thoughtfully torn off.
Gu Yuan stared at the watch and sweater for a long while, with no expression on his face, but a blush quietly spread to his ears.
He quietly put the things away and stuffed them into the closet, out of sight, out of mind...
No! It still seems a bit messy.
You have to do enough superficial work, and you must be angry about Ji Yunzhou's simple and crude behavior of "throwing money"!
Very angry!
Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like you're easy to please?
Very unprincipled?
But I don’t feel happy at all…
That's fake too.
It’s not entirely because of the value of the things, but because of Ji Yunzhou’s clumsy “care” behind these things.
He doesn't really have a mental problem, nor is he deliberately making trouble.
He just...just needs to confirm it over and over again.
Confirm that you are that special person in Ji Yunzhou's eyes.
Make sure that you are not completely without anything, make sure that there are still people who are willing to care about you, willing to spend time on you, and willing to pile up all the good things they think in front of you.
He had so little, and his past life was like a barren desert.
So even if Ji Yunzhou brought a slightly terrifying desert rainstorm, he would secretly absorb that trace of precious moisture after the initial panic.
What’s more, it is a burning heart?
In order to calm down, he decided to turn his "sadness and anger" into appetite.
He dug out a box of super luxurious ice cream from the refrigerator. This refrigerator and the stock inside were also purchased by Ji Yunzhou.
Then I curl up on the sofa, turn on a brainless comedy variety show, and try to numb myself with sugar and silly laughter.
So, when Ji Yunzhou opened the door with the spare key, he saw this scene: an exaggerated variety show was playing on the TV in the living room, and the host was laughing hysterically.
Gu Yuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the sofa, wearing soft home clothes, holding a huge bucket of ice cream in his arms. He scooped a large spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, staring at the screen with a silly smile, his eyes curved into crescents.
The warm yellow light fell on him, making him look furry and comfortable.
Hearing the door open, he even turned his head in a good mood and said incoherently:
"You're back?"
The tone was so natural, as if what just happened had never happened.
Ji Yunzhou: “???”
Lord Ghost King stood at the entrance, completely stunned.
Aren’t you saying... you’re very angry?
So angry that you almost threw something out?
So what about this person who is grinning foolishly at the TV, eating ice cream, and speaking as if nothing has happened?
The speed and arc of this emotional change simply surpassed the space-jumping technology of the ghost world!
It is impossible to deal with the knowledgeable and powerful Ghost King.
He took off his shoes and walked into the house, then walked to the sofa with a lot of doubts in his mind.
His eyes swept over the ice cream bucket on the coffee table. It was the limited edition flavor he had bought, and more than half of it was already gone.
Looking at Gu Yuan again, there was still a little white milk stain on the corner of his mouth, and he was laughing heartlessly.
So...is this a coaxing?
Still not coaxed?
