Chapter 239: There’s Something Wrong With Mrs. Gu
Gu Zheng remained composed as the corners of his mouth twitched lazily.
Qiao Xi instantly felt her hair stand on end.
‘What is this bastard smiling about?! He’s scaring me to death!’
Gu Zheng put an arm around her waist and went to the lounge. He sat on the sofa and asked casually, “Are you hungry?”
Qiao Xi nodded abruptly. She wanted to eat barbecue and spicy food, but Gu Zheng would definitely not let her. Moreover, he might not even let her kiss him. Hence, she smiled obsequiously and said, “Ah Zheng, you decide. I’ll listen to you!”
Gu Zheng chuckled. “Then… let’s have a barbecue.”
Qiao Xi nodded lightly, then her entire body suddenly froze.
Wait, did she hear wrongly?
How did Gu Zheng know that she wanted to eat barbecue? Even in her dreams, she had been dreaming of eating barbecue.
She even wondered if Gu Zheng could read her mind. How could he guess what she wanted to eat?
Qiao Xi was excited to the point of almost jumping up and down. She was on the verge of crying from joy.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were full of smiles.
Mrs. Gu was so cute. It was actually very easy to make her happy!
The man straightened his body and cleared his throat, waiting for Mrs. Gu’s response.
After calming down, Qiao Xi found it a little strange. Gu Zheng had never liked barbecue. Why would he suddenly say he wanted to eat barbecue?
Gu Zheng sat there with his eyes narrowed.
‘He doesn’t like smoky environments and finds it very unhygienic. Previously when I said that I wanted to eat barbecue, he would always refuse without hesitation.’
She propped her chin and thought about it carefully. Suddenly, she came to a realization.
‘Could it be…’
Gu Zheng curled his lips. Was Mrs. Gu very touched? She knew that he did not like barbecue, but he was still willing to go for her sake.
The president, who had always been cold, felt that he was making his feelings very obvious. Mrs. Gu would definitely love him more.
Qiao Xi suddenly looked at him.
‘Could it be that he has bought over a barbecue chain and wants to bring me to taste the food? Is Gu Corporation involved in such a wide range of businesses nowadays? He even wants to venture into barbecue restaurants?’
Gu Zheng: “…”
He was speechless.
Mrs. Gu was indeed crazy. He would have to bring her to the hospital someday.
However, no matter what the reason was, she was already thankful that she could eat barbecue.
She pulled Gu Zheng along and was about to leave when Gu Zheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Mrs. Gu.”
“What’s wrong?”
His expression was calm as he slowly lowered his head, his hot breath spraying on her face.
His cold voice was exceptionally gentle at this moment. “I almost forgot to kiss you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he placed a hand on the back of her head and planted a gentle kiss on her soft lips.
Qiao Xi’s eyes widened as her mind went blank and her heart pounded violently.
What did this man mean? Was he kissing her to let her recover her taste buds, or was it just a kiss?
Why did he suddenly want to kiss her?
‘Holy sh*t! Is this bastard trying to seduce me?’
Hiss!
Gu Zheng bit her lip, and the stinging pain made her collect her thoughts.
At this moment, Gu Zheng’s eyes were burning. His hair fell across his forehead and hung lazily in front of his eyes, adding a trace of lingering and ambiguity.
Qiao Xi’s entire body was wobbly and soft. Her body leaned weakly against Gu Zheng’s body as if she could only steady herself by hugging him.
Gu Zheng was not satisfied with a single kiss. From being gentle at the start, he started becoming wanton and forceful. It was not until Qiao Xi began to struggle that the kiss ended.
A gentle kiss landed on her forehead and neck.
Qiao Xi’s thoughts were in a mess and she had completely lost her mind. She even forgot to breathe.
She gasped for breath and said, “Gu…”
Just then, an inappropriate voice interrupted her.
“Gu Zheng, I want to eat barbecue too! Bring me along!”
Gu Yao barged in and pushed open the door, smiling like a silly prodigal son of a rich family.
Gu Zheng: “…”
‘Tell me, how do you want to die?’
Although Gu Yao often fooled around outside, he was still an innocent boy. He had never been in a relationship and did not know what the two of them were doing just now.
The first thing he saw was Gu Zheng hugging Qiao Xi tightly. Qiao Xi’s eyes were like spring water, her lips were red, and her eyes even carried a trace of confusion?
Gu Yao said, “Qiao Xi, your lips are so red. You’re wearing lipstick? Don’t bother putting on makeup anymore, I’m starving. Let’s go eat barbecue!”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Gu Yao suddenly thought of something and frowned..
Chapter 240: The Innocent Second Young Master Gu
Gu Zheng thought that this child was not too stupid. He knew that he had disturbed the couple, so he felt very sorry.
He had just been engrossed in kissing Mrs. Gu when he interrupted them. Now, he really wanted to beat this brat up!
Gu Zheng looked at Gu Yao coldly, waiting for him to get out of the lounge.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yao suddenly rushed over, pulled the two of them apart, and said earnestly, “It’s normal for couples to have conflicts. Gu Zheng, as a man, you should let her have things her way. You’re a good man, how could you hit her? Just look at how red her face is! Even her lips are red!”
Qiao Xi: “??”
It was really not easy for Gu Yao to have lived for so long.
Gu Zheng frowned.
Facing Gu Yao, he was really speechless!
He had always been cold and heartless. With just one look, everyone around him would tremble in fear. However, he could not do anything to these two people in front of him.
One of them was Qiao Xi, who was often stupid.
The other was the extremely naive Gu Yao.
Gu Yao sized up the two of them. Could it be that Gu Zheng was jealous because Qiao Xi had played cards with him, so they ended up fighting?
He was suddenly afraid and could not help but take a few steps back.
Gu Zheng was such a volatile person. Would he be jealous and beat him up?
He could not help it! He was indeed handsome and easy to misunderstand, but he would not lay a hand on Sister-in-law.
However, it seemed that the two of them were no longer angry and would not quarrel. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Zheng asked Qiao Xi in a light voice, “Are we bringing him along?”
Although her first meeting with Gu Yao was not pleasant, Qiao Xi knew that although Gu Yao looked willful, he was not a bad person.
Back then, Gu Yao and Yao Mengqing went to Longwan Residential to find trouble with her because they thought that Gu Zheng was treating his childhood friend so coldly after getting married. Hence, they could not stand his behavior.
In his eyes, he had always thought that since Yao Mengqing was his good friend, he should stand up for her.
Hence, Second Young Master Gu was just too naive and silly. He was still very kind-hearted.
Qiao Xi replied, “Let’s go together.”
Gu Yao looked at them in confusion. Why did he suddenly feel so humble?
He was a ferocious profligate son in front of outsiders, but in the eyes of the couple, he was like a pet!
…
Gu Corporation was involved in a wide range of activities. They did have a chain barbecue shop, and the interior was luxuriously decorated.
The three of them had just gotten out of the car when Gu Yao saw a familiar person. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Qiao Xi looked at him with slight doubt.
The familiar face was Yao Mengqing, but she and his sister-in-law were not on good terms, so the situation would be awkward.
Hence, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “It’s fine.”
It was better for Sister Mengqing to meet Gu Zheng less often. Otherwise, Sister-in-law and Gu Zheng would start fighting again.
Gu Yao retracted his gaze and followed Qiao Xi into the shop.
Yao Mengqing, who was in a corner, had already seen the three of them. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
At this moment, a man walked over. “Wasn’t Gu Yao very close to you previously?”
Yao Mengqing smiled bitterly. “That’s right, but not anymore. I don’t know what charm Qiao Xi has to make Gu Yao so close to her in just a few days!”
This b*tch had snatched Gu Zheng away and even roped Gu Yao in!
The fact that Gu Yao was her friend had helped make Yao Mengqing extremely successful in high society.
But now… Gu Yao even pretended not to see her and deliberately turned his face away. He took her as a stranger.
No! This could not go on!
The man snorted. “Who does she think she is? If you don’t like her, I’ll finish her off!”
She pretended to be sad. “Never mind, Cousin.”
“Then are you just going to let her be so arrogant?”
Yao Mengqing was helpless. “As long as she’s good to Gu Zheng, it’s alright even if I suffer.”
The man glared fiercely at Qiao Xi’s back view and gnashed his teeth. “Why should I let you suffer? I’ll take care of her for you!”
Yao Mengqing shook her head, and the two of them entered the shop as well.
…
Although Qiao Xi had lost the function of her taste buds, just the sight of barbecued meat was enough to whet her appetite.
However, it was Gu Zheng’s first time in a barbecue shop. Looking at the food covered with seasoning, he could not help but frown.
Gu Yao and Qiao Xi were eating happily, their faces full of happiness.
