Gu Nuan silently watched the small scene unfold in front of her.
It turned out that her ex-boyfriend had managed to become so successful because his talent for flattery was truly beyond the ordinary. Look at Fu Yubo: despite coming from the same alma mater and having been in the corporate world longer than Wa Zicong, he could never match Zicong’s masterful level.
The check-in process at the hotel proceeded methodically.
Fu Yubo helped Xiaoliu with Chen Jiaming’s suitcase.
Chen Jiaming and Wa Zicong walked shoulder to shoulder into the elevator first, while the other people didn’t dare to join them.
After the elevator dinged, the two leaders went up first, as Gu Nuan and the others watched from below, noticing the elevator stopped on the third floor first.
The third floor wasn’t for guest rooms; it was where the hotel’s restaurant and bar services were located.
Donald Duck coughed a few times behind Gu Nuan, his nerves still wound tight.
When another elevator arrived on the first floor, several people gradually entered.
Gu Nuan was assigned to share a room with Xiaoliu. However, it was quite obvious that someone was not satisfied with this arrangement.
A while later, when they arrived at the guest rooms on the upper floor, Xiaoliu and Zhong Qiaohui switched their room cards. It was apparent that Xiaoliu was also not too pleased about the room swap; her face showed a hint of discontent. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
Gu Nuan found it strange. Why did it seem like everyone wanted to avoid rooming with Li Changzhi?
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to live with Li Changzhi; they didn’t want to live with Zhong Qiaohui. Otherwise, Xiaoliu would have simply dumped Li Changzhi on Gu Nuan without a second thought, rather than allow herself to suffer any inconvenience.
With Zhong Qiaohui’s stiff face, which always seemed frosty like an ice statue, it was enough to put off any man, let alone a woman.
It seemed that even Qiaohui was aware of her shortcomings. After opening the door to the room, she said to Gu Nuan, "I know you can’t hear, and luckily, I most enjoy the quiet. I believe the two of us will manage to live together without any trouble."
Gu Nuan understood this to mean that Qiaohui didn’t want to exchange even a single word with her.
"I understand, Miss Zhong," Gu Nuan nodded after seeing the message Qiaohui had written down.
Zhong Qiaohui was pleased and, in front of Gu Nuan’s deaf ears, said, "Being deaf isn’t so bad sometimes, right? I personally think your situation is quite good."
Gu Nuan did not respond to her.
Taking Gu Nuan’s silence for actual deafness, Zhong Qiaohui turned and entered the bathroom first to shower and get ready for bed.
Only then did Gu Nuan get the chance to start sorting out her personal belongings.
She had no idea what he had stuffed into her flashy bag.
She tried to open the zipper, but of course, she couldn’t because he had put a combination lock on it.
And he had not given her the combination.
Gu Nuan held her head and switched on her phone, only to see the message he had sent after she boarded the plane. Instantly, she felt overwhelmed.
This "little friend," as far as she knew, was not one to play around.
So, the meaning behind his message claiming he was coming after her was too deep for her to fathom.
Without inquiring about the combination, Gu Nuan looked down, prepared to try and solve the puzzle herself.
Zhong Qiaohui, who hadn’t washed her hair, just showered and went to bed without bothering to unpack. Seeing Gu Nuan struggle with the luggage, she was naturally concerned that Gu Nuan would disturb her, so she walked over and pushed Gu Nuan’s shoulder.
Gu Nuan turned to glance at her.
"What? You forgot your own combination?" Zhong Qiaohui saw her fiddling with the lock and noticed her fancy luggage for the first time. Clearly, the Miss had been ignoring Gu Nuan until now, only just realizing Gu Nuan’s possession of the fashionable bag.
