Chapter 72: Chapter 072 Feeling Guilty
The moment Qi Yue’s voice fell, Gu Huai looked toward her with an expression that seemed somewhat indescribable.
After a moment of silence, Gu Huai spoke, “President Qi, are you trying to… seduce me?”
Qi Yue: “…!!!”
What does he mean by trying to seduce him? That’s not the case at all!
Right now, Gu Huai was wearing only a thin shirt which was almost completely soaked through, making him look a bit like a pitiful, bullied little secretary…
Stop, stop!
Between spirits and demons and a little secretary, why were her thoughts tonight even more far-fetched than the novels Qiuqiu usually reads?
Qi Yue quickly dismissed the messy thoughts in her head, “How is that possible! There’s a very legitimate reason, you’ve misunderstood…”
Gu Huai chuckled lightly, “Legitimate… Does that mean the little secretary gets a promotion?”
Qi Yue: “…”
A promotion for the little secretary…
Has she become unable to escape from role-playing…?
Qi Yue helplessly explained the situation to Gu Huai all over again.
After hearing Qi Yue’s explanation, Gu Huai’s joking expression faded, and he looked at the girl before him with a deep gaze, “So you agree to share a room with me? Qi Yue, are you always so unguarded with others?”
It was the first time Gu Huai had called her by her name so seriously…
Qi Yue scratched her head, speaking earnestly, “No, it’s not that, you’re not just anyone…”
In the dim light, Gu Huai’s eyes flickered slightly, “If I’m not just anyone, then what am I to you?”
Without thinking, Qi Yue blurted out, “Of course, someone trustworthy! And don’t worry, even though it’s one room, there’s actually a suite, and the landlady said she could put an extra bed in the suite for us! This was just a last resort, there really are no other places to stay nearby, and when you’re traveling, inconveniences are inevitable. As long as we’re clear of conscience, we have nothing to be ashamed of, right?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Huai fell silent for a while, his gaze at Qi Yue filled with an unfathomable depth she couldn’t understand.
A moment later, he took out his phone, searching as he asked her, “How far is the nearest hotel from here?”
Qi Yue: “Are we going to find another place to stay?”
“It’s too late. You stay here; I’ll go find a place nearby,” Gu Huai said.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue frowned slightly, “I’ve checked already, the nearest place that has accommodations is more than ten kilometers away. The roads around here are mountainous, and with such heavy rain, it would be very dangerous for a taxi to come here, let alone on these roads. You’re already drenched like this, how could I possibly let you go through the trouble of finding another hotel now!”
As she spoke, Qi Yue suddenly realized something and hurriedly explained, “God, you… are you worried that I, like those other girls, have ulterior motives, harboring inappropriate thoughts about you… Oh my God! I swear, I truly have absolutely no inappropriate thoughts about you!!!”
Only now did Qi Yue belatedly realize that her behavior was indeed too easily misunderstood!
Listening to Qi Yue’s emphatic, “I absolutely have no inappropriate thoughts about you,” Gu Huai was silent for a moment, then glanced at her, “It’s not about you.”
Qi Yue was puzzled, “Then what is it…”
Gu Huai chuckled lightly, “Perhaps it’s… that I’m not as clean of conscience and guilt-free as you.”
