In the room, Cheng Lu looked at the contents of the document, his eyes widening from time to time.
The man on the recliner beside him was leisurely holding a cup of tea, looking at her with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. As long as he was by her side, even if he didn't say a word, in such a quiet night, it would always arouse endless reveries.
.
She didn't know that the days away from her had been like years for him.
Cheng Lu sighed: "Actually, Wang Yu'er is already very cautious. She dated three men at the same time and the other party didn't notice any clues. It's really amazing."
"Are you envious?" Gu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What am I envious of?" She laughed dumbly, "This is such a waste of time. No wonder the Wang family used to have an extraordinary position on the Pharmacist Committee, but now they have no successors. It turns out that the younger generations have spent their energy on these aspects. I don't know Wang Gaoquan.
I don’t quite understand what it is that I like about this granddaughter.”
"Now the handle is in our hands, we can do whatever we want."
Gu Ci left the choice to her.
Before she could speak, he reminded again: "Don't be soft-hearted. The matter has come to this. If you show that you give in, the other party will not stop. They will think that you are afraid, and they will chase you and beat you until you can't."
Until you turn over."
She nodded: "I know."
Originally it was just a sideshow at the banquet.
If Wang Yuer hadn't provoked her first, she wouldn't have fought back hard.
Things got out of hand later on. Wang Yuer dared to let someone drive a car to hit her to death. What else could she not dare to do?
After reading all the evidence, she returned the folder to Gu Ci.
"It's getting late, go back and rest early," she said.
The man smiled evilly: "What a cruel woman, are you planning to burn bridges by crossing the river?"
"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to rest well if you go back late." She said seriously.
"If you are so worried about me, why don't you keep me here?"
As he spoke, he got closer, his breath almost right next to her ear.
She was startled and hurriedly tried to distance herself, but her reaction was too slow. Gu Ci had already hooked his hand around her slender waist and held her whole body on his lap.
"You..."
"Can I stay?"
Her heart palpitated, getting faster and faster.
Her cheeks also became hot and red.
As long as this guy sticks to her side, all the sensory cells in her body will follow his rhythm. This feeling is really terrible. Cheng Lu has to admit that no matter how long they are separated, this man's influence on her is still so strong.
After finally calming down, she said coldly: "Did Mr. Gu forget that we are divorced? What kind of behavior is this?"
"I know, I am pursuing you."
"Oh, Mr. Gu used to pursue the opposite sex like this? As long as you like it, you can hold it in your arms directly? Haha, I have really learned a lot."
The little woman is very sharp-tongued and can be both loved and hated when she is serious.
Gu Ci smiled: "I don't know, I have never chased anyone except you."
She didn't expect to hear this answer, and instantly her heart felt as if a piece of candy had melted, feeling warm and sweet.
"So, can I stay tonight?" he asked again.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.
After a while, she looked into the man's deep eyes: "You'd better go back to your place, otherwise people will misunderstand you if they see you. I... don't want to waste all my efforts."
Gu Ci's smile dropped a little: "Okay."
Her heart felt a little uncomfortable.
She knows better than anyone how much this man dotes on her.
Now she can't even agree to his small request...
Isn't it a bit excessive?
She toughened her heart and sent Gu Ci to the door.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and a heavy downpour fell.
Gu Ci looked at the heavy rain and smiled: "It looks like I can't leave."
"You can drive. There are cars in the garage. You can choose one at will. It was still yours before."
"It's raining so hard, do you trust me to drive back alone?"
The man looked back and asked with a slight smile.
This question made Cheng Lu speechless. How could she feel relieved?
The words just now were just blurted out on impulse.
She was speechless for a while, her cheeks turned red: "It's up to you, but you can only sleep in the guest room!"
"Okay." The man's smile widened.
Cheng Lu didn't dare to look into his eyes, for fear that he would fall if he looked for one more second.
She turned around and ran away, wanting to get back to the room quickly.
Unexpectedly, this man moved faster than her and picked her up directly.
"What are you doing?"
"What if you fall while running in slippers? Don't forget, you are not alone now." Gu Ci's eyebrows were cold, and there was a slight blame in his tone.
Only then did she realize that it was her fault.
Gu Ci carried her back to the room with ease and placed her gently beside the bed.
There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and he asked: "Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?"
"No." She said firmly, "If you are so energetic, why not drive home and sleep."
"Ruthless woman."
Gu Ci turned around and went to the guest room.
The room finally became quiet, and she curled up under the quilt and didn't fall asleep for a long time.
Maybe tonight was different from before. She could feel that what she had insisted on before was slowly disintegrating under his pressure step by step. This was so different from what she had originally thought, and she felt a little uneasy.
She didn't know if it was because Gu Ci was here tonight, but she slept particularly soundly that night.
When he woke up, Gu Ci was already waiting in the restaurant.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked with a smile.
"It's okay." The tips of her ears felt a little hot.
The two of them were eating breakfast face to face, and Gu Ci said: "I will go to Haofeng Group with me later."
"What?" She became nervous.
"The group has several projects that require your signature. Don't forget that you are also a part of the Haofeng Group now. There are some important things that you cannot miss."
Gu Ci poured her a glass of hot milk and said, "Be good, eat some more."
How could she forget this?
After the divorce, she and Gu Ci became independent individuals.
Although the relationship has been dissolved, the group's shares remain...
"Then I'll go alone."
"Haha, do you think you can clear up your relationship with me this way? I wonder if you have ever heard the saying, if you try to hide something, the more you conceal it, the more you will reveal your flaws?"
She opened her mouth: "You did it on purpose."
"Eat some more of this."
Gu Ci didn't care at all about her rolling her eyes and continued to laugh.
After breakfast, she had no choice but to get into Gu Ci's car.
Soon, Haofeng Group arrived.
As soon as you enter the door, the intelligent monitoring device above your head speaks: "Welcome, Madam."
Cheng Lu almost choked: "What the hell is this?"
"Oh, this is the effect of the system's automatic upgrade." He shrugged, as if he had nothing to do with me.
She blushed even more: "Can't this title be changed?"
