Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Strong Will

His willpower was sufficient to endure not acting on Su He Yi now, but this girl, not knowing good from bad, was still wildly teasing him while drunk. Gu Mo really felt like he was about to become a saint.

 

"Mr. Gu?" Su He Yi saw Gu Mo frozen in front of her, without a response for a long time, and couldn't help but blink her eyes, looking at him with a watery gaze, "Mr. Gu..."

 

She called out in a soft and aggrieved voice, her expression as if she was about to be abandoned by Gu Mo.

 

Gu Mo could only open his arms and embrace her shoulders.

 

Su He Yi happily leaned against Gu Mo's chest, transferring her entire body from the sofa to his arms, being encircled by him.

 

"Mr. Gu, you are so good," Su He Yi slightly pouted her pink lips, and her fair face showed a satisfied joy.

 

As if being embraced by Gu Mo was in an absolutely safe place.

 

Gu Mo rubbed her hair: "If you can't drink, eat less fermented food in the future, okay?"

 

Su He Yi nodded as if she understood: "Mm-hmm!"

 

She was giggling foolishly, not knowing what she was happy about.

 

Gu Mo, in this posture, sent Su He Yi to his bedroom. With her unruly state today, Gu Mo was really not at ease leaving her alone.

 

The servant followed up, put Su He Yi on the bed, and then said to Gu Mo: "Sir, I will bring the sobering soup right away. Shall I help Miss He Yi drink it?"

 

"I'll do it later, just bring the things in," Gu Mo said, then he wheeled himself into the bathroom.

 

Su He Yi had already taken a bath, and she was still wearing a little bear pajamas brought from home, with no femininity at all.

 

But just a section of her collarbone that she accidentally revealed, white and shining, was enough to make Gu Mo's eyes dark.

 

After settling some personal matters in the bathroom, Gu Mo came out again, and Su He Yi was still staring at him with wet eyes.

 

"It's time to sleep, Mr. Gu!" She pillowed her hands under her ears, lay on her side, and said obediently.

 

"Okay, drink some soup before sleeping," Gu Mo coaxed her in a tone as if he was coaxing a child.

 

After letting Su He Yi finish the sobering soup without any vigilance, she rubbed her eyes and yawned.

 

"Sleep, I'll accompany you."

 

Su He Yi, like a thief, grabbed Gu Mo's hand, balled it up, and hid it under her own quilt, just like a squirrel hiding nuts.

 

After hiding it, she made sure that this person would not leave by her side, and then she closed her eyes with satisfaction.

 

Gu Mo watched her fall asleep, his expression extremely complicated.

 

Sure enough... Su He Yi has been surprising him again and again. She cares about him so much, which he didn't expect.

 

However, the current mood of the Gu family head is very good.

 

On Gu Rui's side, she finished the dinner made by Jin Chenzhou in the evening, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth elegantly.

 

"Mr. Jin..." Gu Rui said politely, "I think we can now discuss in more detail the matters concerning your stay at my house."

 

Jin Chenzhou leaned back in his chair, folded his arms, and tapped his chin lightly: "Hmm, go ahead."

 

The expression on his handsome face was a bit unclear to Gu Rui.

 

But since she didn't feel too much pressure, she secretly let go of her heart.

 

However, the edge in Jin Chenzhou's eyes only flashed when she couldn't see it.

 

After taking Jin Chenzhou back these days, Gu Rui had her own plans. She was not a good person for no reason, and naturally, she wouldn't suddenly want to help. Moreover, Jin Chenzhou's appearance and timing were very suspicious, so she was actually on guard against this person.

 

Gu Rui wanted to see what Jin Chenzhou wanted to do.

 

Plus, she couldn't find any information about this person at all, which made her even more curious. If Jin Chenzhou was aiming at her, then the following life should be very interesting.

 

"Let's make a deal. If you live here, you can't ask about any of my schedules. The decisions I make don't need your questioning. If you want to do something, it's best not to stop me. The rest, you can do whatever you want, until you feel safe enough to leave. That will be considered as returning a favor to you."

 

When Gu Rui said this, her eyes were arrogant, like a high-ranking fairy, making people want to see what her fall to the mortal world would look like.

 

All her strength and coldness, the thorns all over her body, made Jin Chenzhou opposite her very interested.

 

"Okay, I agree," he smiled lightly, apparently not caring about the requirements proposed by Gu Rui.

 

Since life has progressed to this point, it is indeed time to do something different from the past.

 

Jin Chenzhou also wanted to see how wonderful it would be if this arrogant woman lowered her head.

 

"For example, in a situation like today, I was waiting to have a good meal at my cousin's house, and you came to make trouble, that's your fault."

 

Jin Chenzhou showed eight teeth, a white and sinister smile: "Is the meal I made not delicious?"

 

Gu Rui thought about it: "Not bad."

 

Above average, but still a bit worse than the chef at the Gu family.

 

After all, the ancestors of the chefs at the Gu family were imperial chefs, and their skills were naturally remarkable. It would take ordinary people decades of cultivation to reach that level.

 

"Oh, is that so?" Jin Chenzhou scratched the table with his fingers, "Then if you don't like it, I won't do it."

 

"Did I tell you not to do it? Don't think you can eat and drink for free here." Gu Rui stood up, walked around him, and whispered in his ear, "So if you want me to like it, study it more, I don't support idle people."

 

She exhaled soft fragrance, as if present and absent, enchanting and affectionate.

 

Such a woman, if it weren't for her thorns being too cold and hard, would definitely be a stunner and a fairy in men's eyes.

 

It is probably also the most desired thing for many men to conquer such a woman.

 

However, Gu Rui's strength has allowed those who covet her to return disappointed, and no one has succeeded so far.

 

Staring at Gu Rui's enchanting back as she left, Jin Chenzhou's unfathomable eyes seemed to ignite a dark flame, with a faint light flickering, endless...

 

Su He Yi woke up in the morning and finally tasted the feeling of a hangover.

 

Although she didn't really drink, she was too weak to drink, which led to her dizziness and weakness in her limbs.

 

Gu Mo came in and saw her sitting on the bed, looking dispirited, like a frostbitten eggplant, lacking vitality.

 

"Now you know the consequences of being greedy," Gu Mo's cold face showed a helpless smile.

 

Su He Yi complained with a flat mouth: "Mr. Gu, my head hurts."

 

"Then don't touch anything with alcohol in the future," Gu Mo softened his tone to teach.

 

"Okay," Su He Yi was taught like a primary school student, hanging her head.
