Chapter 574 - 253. [Summer of Dew] Mr. Gu was stood up by Miss Ji.
Didn’t you agree to have lunch with Mr. Gu???If Mr. Gu is in a good mood, then maybe her work report in the afternoon will go a bit more smoothly.
"I’m going to wash my hands."
Upon hearing Wanxia say this, Secretary Liu was immediately relieved that Mr. Gu’s invitation hadn’t been rejected.
"You know there’s a bathroom in the lounge of Mr. Gu’s office, right?"
Wanxia tucked her loosened long hair behind her ear and smiled slightly, "The air conditioning in there is too strong, it’s a bit cold."
With her in there, Shen the Superstar probably wouldn’t shed a single tear.
Smart women know how to appear vulnerable in front of men, but Shen the Superstar is different, considering herself above others, she certainly wouldn’t act coy in front of outsiders.
The disdain in Miss Shen’s eyes when Wanxia was ’flirting’ with Mr. Gu was quite obvious.
...
After Wanxia came out of the restroom, she didn’t go to the office as the man said, but instead took the elevator directly down to the first floor.
When Yuan Yi, who drove from the garage to the company entrance, saw that beautiful figure walking out from the lobby through the car window, he quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
Yuan Yi opened the car door to the back seat and stood respectfully by the car, half a minute later, he was somewhat bewildered.
Huh?
Why did Miss Ji come out alone, where’s Mr. Gu?
It wasn’t until Wanxia hailed a taxi that Yuan Yi snapped back, quickly jogging to the roadside.
He caught up before Wanxia got into the car, speaking while still catching his breath, "Miss Ji, where are you going?"
Wanxia turned to look at him, politely smiling, "I’m going home."
Go, going home?
Yuan Yi was even more baffled, "But, but Mr. Gu already had me book a restaurant."
Mr. Gu has been very busy lately, apart from essential socializing, his lunch is mostly in the company cafeteria.
He just instructed me to ready the car and reserve a private room, wasn’t he supposed to have lunch with Miss Ji...?
Wanxia’s elegant eyebrows and eyes were gentle and captivating, as if she didn’t understand the implication of Yuan Yi’s words, she said, "Your Mr. Gu is discussing something with Miss Shen, he should be able to have lunch together after he’s done, won’t keep you waiting too long."
After saying that, she got into the taxi, and Yuan Yi certainly didn’t dare to stop her.
...
The taxi had only driven for two minutes before the phone in Wanxia’s bag rang.
She didn’t answer immediately, instead, she put down the glass, leaning against the car window to feel the breeze, then leisurely pressed the answer button.
"Upset, so you stood me up?"
The deep, warm voice resonated in her ear, rendered even more magnetic by the radio waves.
"Mr. Gu is so busy, how could I have the nerve to make you spend," Wanxia lazily laughed, "Besides, kids have to eat on time to grow properly, An Ge is my brother’s daughter, I can’t bear to mistreat her."
Because what Mr. Gu likes is this cat-and-mouse teasing.
The midday sun was scorching and glaring.
Gu Shaozhi realized something was wrong when the women’s restroom was already empty.
As he just stepped out of the company building, Yuan Yi quickly jogged up to him, saying that Miss Ji hailed a taxi and went home.
"In just a mere five minutes, Miss Ji managed to slip away from right under my nose," his deep black eyes smiled meaningfully, leisurely commenting, "Were you never planning to have lunch with me from the start?"
Others couldn’t tell, but Yuan Yi, standing nearby, knew that Mr. Gu wasn’t actually angry.
The smile in those eyes contained a hint of indulgence.
The previous Mrs. Gu was always like this, actually.
"You’re wronging me," Wanxia’s soft voice sounded a bit aggrieved, "The most powerful diamond bachelor in An City inviting me for a meal, why would I be so tactless as to refuse?"
Mr. Gu really knows her quite well.
After all, they once shared a bed for a year and a half.
A low, slow laugh spilled from Gu Shaozhi’s throat, his chiseled handsome face was gentle, but the emotion in his eyes was very complex.
Between his long fingers, he dangled a pair of earrings, the pearl pendant swung lightly in the air.
Those were what Miss Ji left in his office.
After a moment of silence, he turned and walked towards the company building, his voice low and gentle, "The day after tomorrow, when you wake up, give me a call, I’ll come to help you move."
Wanxia’s smile froze on her lips, and she asked softly, "Is it the day after tomorrow when I’m moving?"
Miss Shen’s advertisement only starts filming about a week later.
Gu Shaozhi’s voice blandly stated, "If Lin Chu wasn’t getting out tomorrow, I’d prefer you move tonight."
