Chapter 41 Need Companionship

She had just taken a shower, and the air was filled with her fragrant fragrance.

The smoky pink bathrobe is soft, with a skin-fitting suspender skirt underneath. The slightly loose neckline reveals a deep groove under the white collarbone, which is half hidden and half exposed like the undulating roundness of a snow-capped mountain.

Zhou Zongyan stood quietly a few steps away. Although "denial of self and restoration of etiquette" was engraved into his upbringing, his gaze at this time remained uncontrollably for two seconds.

Her complexion was very hot, and her porcelain white skin was covered with moist powder. I don't know if it was because of the steam or something else.

The girl's expression was unnatural and her body was slightly stiff.

It can be seen that he was really frightened by his silent return.

They looked at each other wordlessly, and the night was empty and silent.

Gu Yusheng remained calm and motionless.

The eyes are clear and white, and the invisible spring color is pure and sultry.

The moment she first saw Zhou Zongyan, she instinctively wanted to cover her chest with her hands.

But why did you give up in the end?

It's because I don't want him to misunderstand me anymore.

Misunderstanding that her defensiveness was only directed at him.

The point is, all the pajamas in her wardrobe are not avant-garde, except the one she wears is slightly sexy.

However, he just took it casually.

Terrible.

It was as if there was a sense of déjà vu again.

The difference is that this time she acted extra calm.

So calm that I don’t know what to say.

The phone is still on a call.

Xu Jie on the other end waited with bated breath. He couldn't wait for the boss's response for a long time. He roughly guessed what he was talking about, so he took it upon himself to quietly hang up the phone.

Zhou Zongyan slowly came back to his senses, looked away calmly, glanced at the screen of his mobile phone that had already been extinguished, and told the girl in a gentle voice, "Go to sleep first, I'll take care of something."

Gu Yusheng nodded, pretending to be nonchalant, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wait." The man stopped her.

Walking to the locker at the entrance, Zhou Zongyan found a hair dryer and handed it to her.

"Blow dry your hair before going to bed."

She reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Suddenly became polite and courteous.

The reason is self-evident and both of them know it.

After the girl left, Zhou Zongyan dialed the number of a special assistant and continued the unfinished trip report.

There will be a charity auction tomorrow night. Xu Jie asked his boss if he would like to attend.

The organizers didn't know where they got the news, knowing that the head of the Zhou family was coming to Cologne, and sent an invitation letter less than eight hours after the plane landed.

The ultimate beneficiary of an auction of this level is naturally a local charity.

According to past practice, Xu Jie knew that his husband would most likely not attend, but out of duty, he just made a casual report. He never thought that it would not be the case this time.

Zhou Zongyan asked him to send over the list of collections for the auction.

Since I want to see the collection, it means there is a high possibility that I will go.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie couldn't help but relapse into his old habit, and said tentatively: "It is said that the highlight of this auction is a rare pink diamond newly unearthed in Angola. Miss Gu should like it."

Zhou Zongyan said quietly: "I'm chasing a woman, so it's hard for you to bother me."

amount.

Xu Jie wiped his sweat and did not dare to talk any more.

In the bedroom, Gu Yusheng was leaning on the bedside with a Bible.

She couldn't understand the entire Greek text, but the notes at the end of each page were very interesting.

Boss Zhou has the habit of bringing books when he goes on business trips, and his reading hobby, on the surface, seems to have nothing to do with doing business.

Cultivation of one's moral character is the final salvation God gives to the overcomer.

So, the prince is enjoying the sense of belonging after retirement in advance?Gu Yusheng curled her lips and smiled. Seeing that it was getting late, she put the book on the cabinet. When she was about to reach out and turn off the lamp, she saw a watch box lying quietly in the drawer.

Almost forgot.

But at the moment, he still has no clue.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to take a desperate risk and start with the people around Zhou Zongyan.

When Xu Jie received Gu Yusheng's private message, his first reaction was what his husband was doing at the moment.

The girl did not get straight to the point, but started chatting with him in a casual tone.

Xu Jie knew everything about the unimportant itinerary.

But at the last moment, Gu Yusheng asked abruptly: "Has anyone of the opposite sex given gifts to your boss before?" 】

Xu Jie was so frightened that he trembled violently.

He considered his words, and then typed: [It is true that there are not many people who give gifts. They usually make reservations for meals, but the theme of the meals is basically around business cooperation. If there are private dinners invited by some women, most of them are rejected by the husband. 】

Have a meal?

Gu Yusheng didn't quite understand.

Continue to ask: [For example, on your birthday, no one gives you flowers or anything? 】

After reading this sentence, Xu Jie suddenly understood.

It turned out that Miss Gu was preparing for her husband's upcoming birthday.

Before he could reply, another message popped up on the other end.

Gu Yusheng: [You said Zhou Zongyan never celebrates birthdays. What about birthday gifts? Will he accept them? 】

This really stumped Xu Jie.

In fact, every year, relatives of the Zhou family would send gifts prepared in advance to the husband's private residence. However, as an assistant, he could feel that the husband was not very interested, and even had gloom and impatience in his eyes.

On November 11th, he didn't like to be disturbed.

Madam was born in a seaside town in Hong Kong, where her family once lived, and it was also her last wish to return to her roots before she died.

My husband returned to Hong Kong City to miss me, but also to retreat from the world and meditate.

But there are some things that I don’t know how to say to Miss Gu.

Xu Jie hesitated and thought for a moment, wondering if it was necessary to take a gamble.

Maybe, after this time.
With an idea in mind, Xu Jie said: "Compared with gifts, I think your husband needs Miss Gu's company more. 】

accompany.

Does this mean that on his birthday and the anniversary of his mother’s death, you don’t have to do anything but just stay by his side silently?

Gu Yusheng sighed, she didn't expect that it was the first time in her life that she bought a gift for the person she liked, but she still couldn't give it away.

A little disappointed.

Maybe I really had to make a mistake and take that men's watch back to the capital to honor my old customer.

At about eight o'clock the next day, Pella received a call from the watch store, saying that no one answered Ms. Gu's call, so she could only call the backup contact.

The other party explained the purpose of her visit, saying that the brand had recently launched a rebate mechanism for new customers' first order, and asked her if she wanted to leave her address and send someone to deliver the gift.

A gift worth 10,000+ luxury goods should not be bad. Pella didn't think much and reported the name of the hotel normally.

The counter staff are very efficient.

In less than half an hour, the beautifully packaged gift was delivered.

Although it is a gift, it is not cheap.

It is a high-end sleep-aid aromatherapy co-branded with an international high-end luxury brand. It is said to be very helpful to people with sleep disorders.

As parents get older, few of them can sleep well.

Pella is sure that Miss Gu’s father will definitely be able to use it.

While waiting for the elevator, I met Assistant Xu who had just come back from outside. He was holding a document in his hand and was about to go to the top floor to make an official report to his boss.

At this time, it is not appropriate to knock on the door and interrupt.

Pella decided to hand the gift box to Xu Jie and asked him to help bring it to Miss Gu, explain what was inside, and asked him to explain it on her behalf.

Men’s watch giveaway?
Xu Jie subconsciously asked: "Who does Miss Gu want to give the watch to?"
