Gu Ci didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say.
The two of them were silent along the way.
Cheng Lu was a little annoyed. This was nothing. He was obviously fine before.
She reached out and poked his cheek: "What are you doing, are you angry? You are ignoring me. Are you planning to have a cold war?"
Gu Ci took her back to the room and gently placed her beside the bed: "No."
"Then why don't you speak?"
"I do not know what to say."
These words made Cheng Lu feel a sense of grievance.
She turned her face stubbornly: "Since you have nothing to say, then don't say it. I have nothing to do. You can go about your business. I can do these things myself. Please send me the medicinal materials I need."
Gu Ci's hand stopped for a moment: "Okay."
He actually left.
Cheng Lu looked at his leaving figure and almost gasped for a moment.
After a while, various medicinal materials arrived.
Along with the medicinal materials, a simple operating table was delivered.
This is a good thing that has just become popular internationally and is generally used on the front lines of war.
Just one console can be sold for millions.
The key is, there is a price but no market.
Gu Ci could even find this. He really did it for her...
Her heart softened slightly, and she hated herself for being so stubborn just now.
This man was obviously very gentle, so why did he refuse to put away his sharp edge and insist on quarreling with her? She didn't mean to meet Mu Cang, she had deliberately kept a distance.
Isn't she... not aggrieved?
I forced myself to stand up, make potions, take medicines, and apply medicines. Everything was done by myself.
No matter how uncomfortable it was, she never failed to do what she had to do.
Soon, the ankle injury got better and was not as painful as before.
She lay weakly on the bed, leaning against the soft quilt, feeling the urge to cry.
She buried her face in the quilt and fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, it was already dusk outside the window.
Looking at the time, it was already half past nine in the evening. Her stomach growled - she was hungry.
The bedside was still deserted, and Gu Ci was still busy in the study.
The swelling in my ankle has gone down and it's not as painful as before.
She walked quietly to the door of the study room and saw the man having a meeting inside.
Looking at his handsome eyebrows and delicate facial features, there is no unnecessary expression on his face, but you can feel a strong aura rushing towards your face. The peach blossom eyes that should have been the most affectionate are now covered with a layer of
Frost.
He is working hard.
And serious men are the most handsome...
Seeing this look made Cheng Lu's heart beat wildly.
After waiting at the door for a long time, it was almost ten o'clock, and the man inside had no intention of finishing yet.
She was a little impatient.
Wasn't it just a quarrel, wasn't it just that she and Mu Cang met accidentally, and this man... was so jealous that he even stopped eating?
It is not Cheng Lu's temperament to sit still and wait for death.
She immediately opened the door and went in.
On the surface, Gu Ci was listening carefully to his subordinate's report, but in fact, his thoughts were focused on the little woman in the room, but this did not affect his work.
None of the senior subordinates in the video noticed that their boss was in a bad state.
Just as he was reporting on the critical moment, a small snow-white hand suddenly passed by Gu Ci's ear and he directly picked up the phone.
A beautiful and beautiful face appeared in front of all the senior officials.
Cheng Lu said with a straight face: "What time is it? Don't you know when you get off work?"
High-rise buildings are messy in the wind:...
None of them want to get off work, but Mr. Gu wants to work overtime, what can they do?
"Husband, good evening, madam."
"You still know it's night? Then why do you drag my husband to work overtime?"
The senior management looked bitter:...
——Hey, hey, hey, you two, please don’t be unreasonable. It’s obviously your husband who is dragging us to work overtime!!
"It's over. I'm off work. If you have any questions, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
She gave the order.
Gu Ci spoke: "You..."
"What are you doing? It's time to get off work now. As a husband, you should fulfill your responsibilities."
The little woman's voice was clear and sweet, which made the senior executives on the other end of the video prick up their ears.
Husband's responsibility...hehehe.
Gu Ci:......
"Ahem, okay, I listen to you, it's time to get off work. So can you turn off the video first, and then we can talk?" Gu Ci reminded, dumbfounded.
Cheng Lu suddenly blushed.
Oops! She was so impulsive just now that she forgot such an important thing.
There was a beep and the video cut off.
All the senior executives felt regretful. If they could have listened a little longer, they might have discovered a different Mr. Gu.
It was quiet in the study room.
She opened her eyes and looked fierce.
However, under the light, her skin was white and her lips were red, and she was full of spring color. Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, hiding flames, which made Gu Ci's heart skip a beat.
"Gu Ci, let me ask you, are you planning to have a cold war with me, right?"
The man panicked: "I didn't."
"Okay, since you didn't, why didn't you talk to me when you came back? You locked yourself in the study and worked hard because you didn't want to go back to your room to rest, right?"
"I...just don't know how to tell you."
This man, who was a powerful figure in Sichuan City and even internationally, actually showed such uneasiness in front of Cheng Lu, like a helpless child.
"You don't know what to say, I'll say it for you."
She huffed angrily, like an angry little puffer fish, "Aren't you just jealous? You feel unhappy when you see me and Mu Cang together. If you don't feel happy, just say it, who made you hold it in? I'm with you
As I said, I didn’t take the initiative to find Mu Cang, and I don’t know which corner he came from. In short... what you are worried about cannot happen."
She explained crisply, her face flushed red either from anger or embarrassment.
"If I had known that the Cheng family and the Mu family had joked about the engagement before, I would never have acted in front of you."
"I actually... regret it a lot."
After speaking in one breath, she lowered her eyelids and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The study fell into silence again.
Cheng Lu waited for a while, but before he could speak, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Forget it, I've said everything I want to say. If you still don't want to talk, I won't force you."
She turned and left.
Before she even took two steps, a pair of strong hands hugged her tightly.
He hugged her so hard, as if he wanted to fuse her with his own flesh and blood.
The ever-deepening breathing was right next to her ear, with a man's unique breath, teasing her delicate and sensitive skin over and over again, making her tremble all over.
This man's influence on her was so strong that just a hug could make her think about him.
"Gu Ci..."
"I'm not jealous," he said, "I just don't understand, why didn't you tell me?"
