Chapter 77: An Unfamiliar City Chapter 77: An Unfamiliar City “I really didn’t lock the door?” Xu Zhiyin asked worriedly when she saw how serious he was.
Did she really forget?
Gu Nantian looked at her and didn’t answer her question. Opening the door was just a small matter for him.
–
When Xu Zhiyin finished tidying up and came out, Assistant Qiao had already gotten someone to clean up the place.
The entire room looked brand new.
Gu Nantian’s business trip was for work. The Gu Financial Group’s assets were all over the world. Because Gu Nantian had been sick recently, he had disappeared for a long time. His work was handled by Assistant Qiao on his behalf.
If he didn’t show up soon, others would definitely have ideas about him.
As soon as they got off the plane, a car came to pick them up. After they landed, it was a long meeting that lasted for several hours. Xu Zhiyin didn’t go and was sent back to the Crown Hotel by Gu Nantian’s men. Because she only knew Gu Nantian here, she didn’t dare to run around. He had nothing to do and could only sleep in the hotel to kill time.
It was raining outside, the raindrops pattering against the window.
A gentle kiss landed on her face and Xu Zhiyin woke up from her dream. She opened her eyes and realized that Gu Nantian had returned. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her.” Are you a pig? You slept for so long in the morning, why did you sleep in the afternoon?””
“You’re the pig.” Xu Zhiyin sat up and looked at him. He was wearing a black suit and looked extremely handsome.” It’s all because of you. I’m so hungry.””
“Why don’t you go down and eat something?”Gu Nantian looked at her and didn’t understand.
“It’s boring to be alone. I wanted to wait for you to come back.”She rubbed her eyes and looked at him.
Gu Nantian was stunned when he heard what Zhiyin said. Could it be that she was relying on him?
Xu Zhiyin realized that there was a hidden meaning in her words and quickly explained,” We’re unfamiliar with this place, and you’re the only one I know. It’s so boring to eat alone.””
“There’s a restaurant downstairs. Assistant Qiao has already arranged it.”It could have been settled with a phone call, but he wanted to see her after such a long meeting.
Xu Zhiyin climbed down from the bed.” Let’s go! I’m hungry too.”
“You’re going dressed like this?” Gu Nantian sized her up.
Xu Zhiyin looked at herself. She was dressed very casually in a shirt and trousers. She looked very business-like and did not have any feminine aura at all.
She looked at Gu Nantian and found that Gu Nantian had already brought her clothes.
It was a beautiful dress.
Xu Zhiyin rejected him.” I don’t want this. Don’t even think about making me dress like this to seduce you.”
Gu Nantian looked at Xu Zhiyin.” I think the outfit you’re wearing is quite tempting.””
No matter what she was like, her every move was a temptation to him.
Xu Zhiyin looked at herself. Her shirt was so buttoned that even her neck could not be seen. She snorted.” I don’t believe you.””
“Be good and change into it.”Gu Nantian threatened.
Xu Zhiyin refused.” No, I’m hungry.””
“Then I’ll help you change!” He came over excitedly.
“I don’t want to!” Xu Zhiyin said,”I’ll wear this.””
“If you don’t change, don’t regret it later.” Gu Nantian reminded.
Xu Zhiyin looked at the long dress beside her and felt that she would not fall for this man’s trick.” I’ll regret it if I change.””
However, she soon understood what Gu Nantian meant by regret.
She followed Gu Nantian downstairs in her shirt and pants. She thought that it would be just her and Gu Nantian for dinner, but there were more people than she thought.
As soon as Gu Nantian appeared, all the people sitting around the round dining table stood up and greeted him at the same time.” Master Gu.””
He was as polite as he could be.
Most of the people here looked older than Gu Nantian.
Gu Nantian walked to his seat and sat down. Xu Zhiyin looked at the women at the dining table. They were all the wives and girlfriends of these men. Each and every one of them was dressed very solemnly.
As Gu Nantian’s female companion, it was indeed a little awkward for her to dress like this.
Gu Nantian was calm and did not feel that Xu Zhiyin had embarrassed him at all. He sat down first and pulled Xu Zhiyin to sit down. When everyone saw Gu Nantian, they followed suit.
A bunch of people introduced themselves one by one. Xu Zhiyin, who was starving, sat at the side and watched as the delicious food was served.
Because he was worried that she was very hungry, Gu Nantian did not stand on ceremony with everyone. He directly passed the chopsticks to her. Once he started, everyone would eat. It seemed like it was only natural.
Xu Zhiyin had just taken two mouthfuls, but before she could savor the taste, someone came over with a glass of wine.” This must be Miss Xu!” A toast to you.”
He used honorifics to talk to her, and Xu Zhiyin was terrified. She politely returned the greeting and was about to drink when a hand snatched the glass away from her eyes.
“She doesn’t drink,” Gu Nantian said seriously.”
“..”Xu Zhiyin looked at this overbearing man. He was still complaining about her getting drunk this morning!
However, it was also good. She did not want to drink at this time.
The other party expressed his understanding. Whatever Gu Nantian said was true.
Xu Zhiyin ate for a while and heard a lot of good things about her. It was her first time meeting all of them, but these people seemed to have heard about her a long time ago.
Everyone was extremely polite to her.
She could imagine that they must have paid a lot of attention to Gu Nantian, so much so that they knew clearly who appeared around Gu Nantian, so that they could flatter him at any time.
Gu Nantian’s face was cold the entire time. He was not enthusiastic at all. He only helped Xu Zhiyin with food from time to time.
It was raining outside, so after dinner, Xu Zhiyin and Gu Nantian did not go out for a walk. The two of them went back to their rooms.
The hotel they were staying in had one advantage. They could see the night view of B City from the balcony. Although it was raining, the mysterious feeling of the entire city shrouded in the night and mist was still very tempting.
Xu Zhiyin leaned against the window and looked at Gu Nantian.” If you’re tired, you can go to sleep first.””
He loved to sleep, and Xu Zhiyin did not want him to waste time with her.
“I’m not sleepy.” Gu Nantian said as he looked at the night outside.
” I’ve slept for the whole afternoon,” Xu Zhiyin said.” I’m not sleepy at all. You should go to sleep!” I’ve been working hard today.”
Gu Nantian’s gaze shifted to her.” Are you accompanying me?”
It was a very simple sentence, but it had a seductive taste when it was said by him.
The word ‘accompany’ always made people feel that it was another night.
A man and a woman alone in a strange city, alone in a room. It was hard not to commit a crime in such an atmosphere.
Xu Zhiyin could feel her heart beating uneasily. She pursed her lips and refused to look into his eyes.” You can sleep by yourself!””
She did not want to accompany him.
Gu Nantian walked over and hugged her from behind. The large glass window reflected their overlapping figures.” Then I won’t sleep. I’ll stay here and watch the stars with you.””
