gentle control

Chapter 37 He never celebrates his birthday
"Why are you running?" Zhou Zongyan stood quietly on the spot without moving, his eyes dull, looking down at Gu Yusheng from top to bottom.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "If you are so scared, why bother to move in?"

Gu Yusheng's posture of leaning back was weird, one hand was holding on to the sofa cushion, and his waist was stiff and straight. After holding it for a long time, his whole arm was a little sore and trembling.

She dared not look him in the eye.

In front of him was the man's thin waist.

The distance was so close that all she had to do was move her face forward a little, and the tip of her nose would be touching the cold rock-black leather belt.

But this posture is so tiring.

The girl's thick eyelashes trembled slightly under the light, but she still appeared calm and nonchalant, "Mr. Zhou is joking, you are not a scourge, I am afraid of what you will do."

Zhou Zongyan narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and stroked her cheek with his fingertips, as if to smooth away the false smile that did not reach his heart.

The prince's silent and powerful behavior has already gone beyond his usual demeanor and propriety.

Gu Yusheng couldn't stand the oppression of such an atmosphere.

Against the man's deep gaze, she quietly tilted her neck back, trying to escape from the shackles of the big hand.

However, Zhou Zongyan did not give her a chance to win freedom.

Noticing the small movements of the person in front of him, his warm and generous palms moved back along the girl's ears, and finally closed on the back of her fair and slender neck.

Gu Yusheng couldn't move for a moment.

The more she looked at him, the more intense her heartbeat became. In her desperation just now, out of instinctive fear of falling, she panicked and grabbed the shirt at his waist.

The hem of the man's shirt that had been tucked into his trousers was pulled into a ball by her.

Zhou Zongyan chuckled.

Looking into the girl's misty eyes with interest, he spoke slowly and slowly: "Miss Gu's adventurous spirit is still the same as when she was a child. It has not changed at all."

Gu Yusheng said unconvinced: "We only met a few times when we were children. Does Mr. Zhou know me very well?"

"I dare not understand."

Afraid of hurting her, Zhou Zongyan slowly relaxed the strength in his hands and whispered in a deep voice: "If you have feelings for a teenage girl, I'm afraid my grandfather will have your legs broken."

Gu Yusheng knew that he was deliberately teasing her.

It also made her understand that even if he really wanted to do something to her, it wouldn't be now.

But this man has a keen ability to guess people's hearts.

In front of him, she was, to put it mildly, as transparent as glass.

It sounds ugly, no different from an egg that has been peeled.

Gu Yusheng turned away her eyes, let go of her hands on his waist, and spoke again, her voice almost inaudible, "It feels so uncomfortable to look like this. My legs are a little numb."

Zhou Zongyan's eyes slowly moved down, only to find that the girl's delicate white legs were stuck on the bottom edge of the desk.

He let go of her, held her wrist as usual, and pulled her up from the sofa.

The two breaths were close.

Gu Yusheng's heartbeat was disordered.

She slowly rubbed her numb lower back, moved her legs, and took her slender hands away from his generous palm. Then she lowered her eyes and pointed to the bedroom. It was obvious that she was going to sleep.

The warm fragrance of the girl's body dissipated from Zhou Zongyan's breath.

He stood in front of the sofa and watched her turn around the hydrangea bonsai in full bloom, and then disappeared into the bedroom on the left side of the corridor.

There was a click.

The sound of the door locking was particularly clear in the quiet suite, and it struck Zhou Zongyan's heart hard.

He looked at the door with dark eyes.

He stood quietly for a moment, then took the cigarette and lighter beside him and walked towards the terrace outside the atrium.

The morning light in the sky is slightly bright.

The man chewed his cigarette for a long time without moving. He looked into the distance with a long gaze, but there was a hint of coldness and silence in his back.

On the other side where he couldn't see, Gu Yusheng squatted in front of the suitcase, took out his clothes and toiletries and put them away. Before entering the bathroom, after thinking about it, he went back to the door and turned the lock cylinder back.

This time the door was not locked.

She was not guarding against Zhou Zongyan, but the instinctive sense of self-protection she had developed over time after living abroad for three years.

After all, girls are not as good as at home when they go out.

Gu Yusheng didn't think too much at the time.

Locking or not locking is just a matter of her thoughts.

After taking a comfortable bath in the hot water, I lay on the bed and slowly closed the blackout curtains with the remote control.

The bedroom fell completely silent.

After a long flight and two consecutive hours of translation work after landing, Gu Yusheng was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep as soon as her brain relaxed.

There is no schedule in the morning. What will Boss Zhou do? He should also rest.

The last bit of consciousness was submerged in the white crystal lamp on the roof.

The girl on the bed was breathing slowly and sleeping soundly.

The screen of the mobile phone placed on the cabinet on the right lit up from time to time. Uncle Xie Nanjin tried to send several messages, but all failed.

There was no doubt that he had no choice but to call Zhou Zongyan again.

This time, it wasn't his turn to speak. The man's deep voice warned, "If you have anything to do, deal with it yourself. Don't disturb her rest."

amount.

Xie Nanjin was stunned.

He raised his wrist to check the time, "If I remember correctly, the girl must have been asleep for eight hours, right?"

Indeed, from the phone call on the plane to now, there is exactly a full round of sleep mileage.

He called at random.

Zhou Zongyan didn't seem to hear his nonsense and just said: "I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."

? ?
A busy beep came from the receiver.

Xie Nanjin looked at his phone blankly, as if he wanted to make a hole in the screen.

unusual.

One is sleeping and the other is in a bad mood.

This is not like the state that normal men and women should have when they are alone.

Clicking on WeChat, Xie Nanjin reminded Boss Zhou: [Shengsheng is still young, you, the fiancé, please take it easy. 】

Having known each other for many years, I naturally trust the prince's character.

However, there may be special circumstances in which the guarantee is incomplete.

For example, if the flight is too boring, the two of you can have a drink.

Shengsheng gets drunk when she touches wine.

And when he is drunk, he becomes extremely fat.

A man and a woman alone, in a foreign country, a fire is about to break out, and some things are really uncertain.

A few minutes later, I received a reply from Zhou Zongyan.

[Mind yourself, uncle. 】

【.】

The name uncle made Xie Nanjin feel mixed in his heart.

Logically speaking, it should be a good feeling to be one generation higher than your brothers.

But for some reason, the prince's name as uncle made him feel an inexplicable chill down his back.

Forget it, the female university is not allowed to stay.

As an elder, you should be concerned, but you can't be too lenient, right?

There are rarely bright sunny days in Cologne in winter, and it happens to be the coldest month now, so it is even harder to encounter clear skies.

After eight o'clock in the morning, the snow outside gradually weakened, and the cold wind blew the withered yellow and sparse leaves on the street, swirling and falling in the air.

Gu Yusheng woke up to the alarm clock.

Lazy stretched out her hand to turn off the ringer. Unread messages popped up on the screen. When she opened WeChat, she saw that it was her persistent little uncle again.

Continuing to turn a blind eye is not an option.

Gu Yusheng had no choice but to take her mobile phone into the bathroom, call back, and then brush her teeth in the mirror while listening to the trans-ocean ringtone in her ear.

The ringing continued until it was about to hang up automatically, and then Xie Nanjin's hoarse and depressed voice came from the other side.

"Ancestor, are you trying to kill your uncle?"

It was early morning in China.Mr. Xie, who must have something on his mind, just lay down.

Gu Yusheng asked vaguely with her mouth full of bubbles, "How are things going today?"

Xie Nanjin paused.

I bet this girl had seen the message a long time ago and kept pretending to be confused with him.

He sat up with his coat on, rubbed his brows and said depressedly: "I still refuse to accept mediation. The company is also putting pressure on its female artists to apologize to Wen Jin in person to see if there is room for easing the situation."

Gu Yusheng had no reaction after hearing this.

In fact, what her best friend did was something she had expected. It seemed like a verbal dispute between inconspicuous female stars. In fact, if it was used, the fire and the wind could re-energize the originally deadlocked situation.

She knew that Wen Jin wanted to use this method to completely escape the control of the brokerage company at the risk of being hidden by capital.

As a good friend, what can help her right now is to wait and see which direction the wind blows, and don't interfere in the situation when she has no clue and disrupt the big star's plans.

There was silence on the phone for a long time. Xie Nanjin thought the girl was asleep again and was about to cough when Gu Yusheng spoke suddenly on the other end.

"Paris Fashion Week is just a few days away. My uncle has never been absent in previous years, and this year should be no exception."

Xie Nanjin has not yet heard the hidden meaning of this sentence.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yusheng added: "No one knows better than me how difficult it has been to get to this point. I'm sorry, uncle, but I'm a big fan of hers. I will unconditionally support any decision she makes regarding her acting career. "

"."

This is the first time I heard someone say that he is a crazy fan in such a simple and reasonable way.

Xie Nanjin laughed helplessly.

The weight of a biological uncle cannot be compared to that of a female star, and it is quite miserable to tell the truth.

The little girl was heartless and refused to speak even though it was just a matter of one sentence.

That's it.

Xie Nanjin covered his face tiredly and warned in a gentle voice: "Take care of yourself and have fun abroad. If you want to come to Paris to watch the show, tell me in advance and I will arrange for someone to pick you up."

After spitting out the toothpaste bubbles in his mouth, Gu Yusheng nodded: "Don't worry, uncle, Zhou Zongyan will not treat me badly."

Look, what did he say just now?

Women's colleges do not stay.

He sighed: "That's it, hang up and leave uncle alone for a while."

"."

That resentful tone.

Before hanging up, Gu Yusheng couldn't bear it and finally said something comforting, "Uncle, there is nothing in the world that you can't solve. Come on, you are the best."

Ha ha.

Xie Nanjin was completely devastated by her niece's clumsy rainbow fart.

She is indeed the daughter of his Xie family, and she is of the same blood as him.

Gu Yusheng packed up and left the bedroom. When passing by the opposite room, she glanced sideways and saw that it was empty. The sheets and quilts were spread neatly and almost intact.

Didn't he take a break?

Continuing to walk to the living room and looking around the room, she realized belatedly that Zhou Zongyan was not there.

In a daze, the doorbell outside the entrance rang.

Gu Yusheng walked over and opened the door.

It was a young woman dressed in professional attire, followed by a hotel delivery person.

"Hello Miss Gu, I am the secretary assigned to you by Director Jay Chou. Just call me Pella."

The other party smiled warmly, and Gu Yusheng nodded politely: "Hello Pella, please come in."

The breakfast is nutritious and only serves one person.

Realizing that the girl was staring at the dining table in a daze, Pella seemed to have guessed something and said slowly and comfortingly: "Dr. Jay is having a meeting with his team downstairs. If Miss Gu wants to take a look, I can take you there after dinner."

"About what time does it open?" she asked.

Pella smiled and shook her head: "It depends on the situation, but according to usual practice, it shouldn't take long."

The girl listened clearly and didn't ask any more questions.

Pulling out the chair and sitting down, the screen of the mobile phone beside him lit up.

There is news coming in.

When I clicked it open, I saw it was Zhou Zongyan.

[Eat first after waking up. If you want to go somewhere in the morning, ask your secretary and bodyguard to accompany you. 】

She read it quietly.

But he didn't reply in a hurry. Instead, he tilted his head and asked Pella: "Is the public security in Cologne not good? Why do you need bodyguards?"

The latter was stunned at first, then saw through her thoughts, pointed to the phone and said: "Dr. Jay always considers everything carefully. If Miss Gu feels that the bodyguard will not be able to have a good time with her, she can ask him to accompany her from a distance."

It seems that it must be brought along.

Gu Yusheng lowered her eyes while cutting the cheese and said softly: "Are you going to implement every decision made by Mr. Zhou without questioning?"

"Of course, because sir has never made a mistake." Pella answered calmly.

The girl smiled upon hearing this.

This time, it comes from the heart.

She planned to continue translating documents in the morning, but her assistant Xu Jie knocked on the door and came in, saying that she was here to get cigarettes for her boss.

Gu Yusheng took the time to ask him how many days he had in Cologne this time.

"Three days at most." Xu Jie didn't hide it and said directly: "It's Jay Chou's birthday in three days. At this time every year, he has to stay in Hong Kong City."

Zhou Zongyan’s birthday is three days from now.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, she quickly asked: "I should go back to Beijing for my birthday, why should I go to Hong Kong City?"

After asking this question, Xu Jie suddenly fell silent.

Gu Yusheng's mind was sharp and he naturally noticed the abnormality behind this silence.

Speechless for a while.

She turned her attention back to the translation interface and didn't ask any more questions.

Before leaving, Xu Jie stood at the entrance and turned around to look at the girl.

After thinking over and over in my mind, I finally couldn't help but say: "My husband's mother was buried in the western suburbs cemetery of Hong Kong City. She passed away on November 11th, so my husband never celebrates his birthday."

Because it is both a birthday and the death anniversary of a close relative.

Gu Yusheng's typing hands were frozen on the keyboard.

Xu Jie's last note trailed behind, and her heart seemed to be stung hard by something sharp.

Exactly in what year his mother left, his childhood memories are very vague.

She only occasionally heard from Ms. Xie that she was a gentle and beautiful woman who could make people fall in love with her at a glance.

My eyes are a little dry.

Gu Yusheng sat blankly in front of the desk for a long time. In the past 40 minutes or so, the translation progress had been stagnant for a long time.

After thinking about it, I called Pella on WeChat and said I wanted to go shopping.

The other party seemed very excited, as if he could finally be of use.

The snow outside has stopped.

There were snowplows on every other section of the street, and bodyguards drove. Gu Yusheng and Pella sat in the back seat, debating whether to go to the commercial pedestrian street or the central square first.

In fact, she just wanted to come out for some air, so the girl said casually: "Go to the busiest place."

With a clear goal in mind, Pella was quick to give advice.

Schildergasse (Schilder Street).

As the busiest shopping street in Europe, the number of people here reaches nearly 4000 people per hour, even more busy than Oxford Street in London.

It is not only suitable for passing time, but also allows Ms. Gu to experience the ultimate shopping pleasure.

Of course, this is just a picture Pella imagined in advance.

But the reality was that just a few minutes before the three people got out of the car, a violent shooting occurred in a coffee shop on Skate Street.

The crowd poured in this way in a panic.

Before Gu Yusheng could react, the tall bodyguard in front of her had already protected her head with his hands, and in the thrilling chaos, he led her and Pella to quickly evacuate towards the parking area.
