Chapter 630: Tell Me About Your Mommy
Xiaoze paused his steps, then looked back at him and said coldly, "None of your business!"
Calling him a kid? What an impolite person!
Gu Qingqian was choked up for a moment.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, surprised to find the tea leaves were top-quality Jinjunmei Tea.
He frowned, glanced around, and suddenly realized the room’s decor was exquisite everywhere.
While perhaps not the very best, it was certainly not something an ordinary person could afford.
It seemed this woman’s family background was even richer than he had imagined.
For the first time, Gu Qingqian felt uncertain.
To him, women were always a pastime. No matter how reserved a beauty was, she would either be moved by his money or his looks, so it wasn’t without reason that Gu Qingqian was overconfident from childhood.
But Mu Yiliang... she didn’t seem like someone who had ever lacked money, and she was capable and confident enough; such women were the hardest to be corrupted by money.
So, to win her over, he’d have to rely on his face alone?
For the first time, Gu Qingqian’s confidence was slightly shaken.
Fortunately, seeing his reflection in the clear tea, he smiled secretly again.
This woman had looked at him with infatuated eyes more than once, surely she would be moved by his looks.
After spacing out for a while, Xiaoze came out, looking displeased.
Gu Qingqian was wondering what this annoying kid was upset about again, and then he saw Mu Yiliang, drowsy-eyed, coming behind him.
"Mommy, you go back to sleep; I can host Mr. Gu!" Xiaoze insisted relentlessly, casting an angry glance at someone.
If not for him, why would mommy have been woken up!
Mu Yiliang patted her son’s head soothingly and yawned, "Mr. Gu... why are you here? I’ve already taken leave from Ms. Zhao."
Gu Qingqian’s expression cracked a bit seeing her unkempt appearance.
"... You took leave just to sleep at home?" he said gloomily.
"I’m running a slight fever and my throat is a little inflamed," Mu Yiliang replied, bundled in thick winter loungewear, her face almost buried in the fluff, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to rest."
"You have a fever?" Gu Qingqian’s expression changed instantly! He stood up abruptly and reached his hand toward her forehead.
Mu Yiliang quickly stepped back, looking alarmed, "What are you doing?"
Gu Qingqian’s hand froze in midair!
"I just wanted to see if your forehead was still hot!" he said through gritted teeth.
What did this woman mean by avoiding him like he was a snake or a scorpion?
"Oh, Xiaoze just took my temperature, the fever has subsided." Her eyes were almost closed, "Mr. Gu, please feel free, I’m going back to sleep... If you’re really considerate, please don’t make me work overtime, thank you..."
If this goes on, she really might resign. Although she did like her current job a lot, it wasn’t worth risking her life for.
Gu Qingqian looked a bit bewildered.
He always thought she was either pretending or was an arrogant talent, but now he realized that this woman genuinely couldn’t handle such high-intensity work.
She looked healthy, so why did she need so much rest each day?
Mu Yiliang, seeing his staring gaze, couldn’t be bothered to figure out what he was thinking, stood up feeling dizzy and returned to the bedroom, diving into the warm bed.
Leaving Xiaoze and Gu Qingqian staring at each other.
"Why aren’t you leaving yet?" Xiaoze said discontentedly.
"Kid, tell me more about your mommy," Gu Qingqian said, pulling out his wallet, taking out all the cash, and coaxing, "If you tell me, I’ll give you this money, you can buy several Transformers with it."
