Chapter 571 - 253. [Summer of Dew] Mr. Gu was stood up by Miss Ji.
Gu Shaozhi gazed intensely at the woman’s charming face and nodded, signaling her to continue.Wanxia blinked, her voice soft and sweet, "I heard that Miss Shen is going to shoot a new advertisement soon. Can Mr. Gu let me follow the director to learn a bit?"
She wasn’t lying; photos and videos are two different concepts.
Gu Shaozhi did not immediately respond.
About half a minute later, the curve of his lips deepened, and his distinct fingers hooked a strand of the woman’s long hair, gently and slowly twirling it around his fingertip.
His voice was low and gentle, "It’s possible, but shouldn’t Miss Ji show some sincerity first, hmm?"
The morning sunlight, bright but not as scorching as the afternoon, shone through the sheer curtains onto him, changing his entire aura, even the fine hairs on his face were clearly visible.
The originally strong and domineering aura silently gave way to gentle consideration, with a hint of indulgence.
Wanxia tilted her head, pretending to be deep in thought.
Her apricot eyes sparkled with laughter, as if she had made a decision.
As she raised her head, she also pulled down the man’s head, giving him a peck on the lips before withdrawing, her every glance filled with alluring charm, "Is this okay?"
The more tantalizingly close yet distant the touch, the more it attracted one’s longing.
Gu Shaozhi lifted the woman’s chin, bending down to kiss her cherry-red lips,
It was useless, no matter how gentle it was, it was useless.
Before the woman’s body could completely stiffen, Gu Shaozhi gave her room to breathe, without revealing a single hint of the coldness beneath.
It seemed he hadn’t noticed her instinctive resistance.
His rough fingers slowly caressed her cheek, his voice consistently low and gentle, "Move to Qingshui Bay Villa."
Wanxia was still trapped in that uncontrollable stiffness, the allure in her eyes was gone, replaced by a daze, "Wha-what?"
Noticing the air conditioning blowing directly on Wanxia, her exposed skin was cool, Gu Shaozhi picked her up and walked towards the sofa, "Move in with An Ge."
He paused, adding four more words, "As an exchange."
Wanxia stared blankly at the man’s determined jaw, suddenly understanding.
Indeed, between them was a transaction, he fulfilled her request, and she had to provide something of equal value.
She had prepared herself before coming.
Drink some wine, and the night would pass, it wasn’t very hard to endure.
However, what she didn’t expect was, he didn’t want her to accompany him to bed, but to... live together.
She forced a smile, "What does Mr. Gu mean by this?"
"Didn’t you understand?" Gu Shaozhi stopped, looking down at her.
The distance from the desk to the sofa was just a few steps away. In fact, they were already in front of the sofa, he could bend down and put her on the sofa, but he didn’t.
It was a selfish desire to hold her a little longer.
"You want to enter the Gu Family to learn about shooting advertisements, I want to see you first thing when I open my eyes every morning, it’s fair. I’m not using my power to bully you."
In all fairness, it truly is fair.
Her request and the compensation he wanted were equivalent.
"But there’s no need to live together," Wanxia’s stiff body had softened, she raised her hand to wrap around the man’s neck, blinking with a smile, "I can wait at your doorstep before you wake up, I will be very punctual."
Living together with him...
She didn’t want that.
"I can’t bear to let you work that hard, it’s the simplest solution," Gu Shaozhi’s sharply defined features were imbued with a warm aura, his tone calm, "Of course, you can refuse, and I won’t force you to Qingshui Bay Villa."
The man’s voice held no threat, his deep eyes had no insidious intent, yet Wanxia’s heart skipped a beat for a moment, and a few seconds later, she laughed softly.
Yes, she could refuse.
By the same token, he wouldn’t fulfill any of her requests either.
"Then can Mr. Gu replace all the furniture you’ve used for over five years?" Leaning soft and cozy in the man’s embrace, "I don’t like it much."
She could endure sleeping with him, there’s nothing else really.
Gu Shaozhi nodded, "I can change them, but Wanwan, you know, the things in my home are never decided by outsiders, not even a table."
She indeed knew about this habit of his.
If a wine glass shattered, even his senior personal secretary who bought an identical one from the mall would wait for his nod before putting it in the crystal cabinet.
"So?"
Gu Shaozhi placed the woman in his arms onto the sofa, sitting down beside her, his arm encircling her body.
