gentle control

Chapter 9 What kind of person does he belong to?

The engagement party and wedding were postponed at the same time.

There is only one condition for exchange.

Just let her stay in Xiyuan tonight.

Gu Yusheng is simple, but not stupid.

She did not rush to give an answer, but asked directly: "Would it be inappropriate for Mr. Zhou to make such a request?"

Zhou Zongyan remained silent, saying that he was "all ears".

Gu Yusheng lowered her eyes and gently tugged at the corners of her lips, and said in a cold voice: "A girl stays at her fiancé's house late at night. Even if she doesn't do anything, no one will think she is innocent if she tells her."

"So, what are you worried about?" he asked.

Gu Yusheng remained silent.

The spacious dining room becomes increasingly colder when it is silent.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Zongyan smiled faintly and ate slowly without intending to continue the conversation.

Compared with the prince's calm and elegant manner.

Gu Yusheng's heart was already racing.

After being speechless for a long time, she gathered her thoughts without leaving any trace, and said lightly: "It's nothing. As long as Mr. Zhou keeps his promise, I can accept any reasonable conditions as long as he does not violate his principles."

The girl finished speaking.

Zhou Zongyan served the thick soup for her with a calm expression. The gentleman thoughtfully placed it in front of her and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what Miss Gu's bottom line is, how far she can tolerate it."

Pick up the spoon and take a bite. It tastes good.

Gu Yusheng concentrated on drinking the soup and said to herself: "The step to take depends on Mr. Zhou."

The man remained silent and waited for her next words.

After thinking for two seconds, Gu Yusheng said: "There are two types of gentleman's style. Some have a long shelf life and can withstand the test of time, while others are like milk bread, which will become sour and tasteless if left overnight."

Zhou Zongyan chuckled unconsciously after hearing this rarely heard theory.

"Miss Gu has rich experience in reading people." He commented warmly.

At the age of 21, no matter how many different things I have seen, it cannot be said to be rich.

Of course, Gu Yusheng was not willing to be outdone and nodded in agreement, "See more while you are young, so as not to be deceived by men in love."

By some strange coincidence, this unthinking sentence came out of his mouth.

Not surprisingly, Zhou Zongyan finally slowly raised his eyes and looked at the girl sitting across from him with a calm expression across the long pear wood dining table.

Gu Yusheng turned a blind eye and drank the soup.

But because the other party was silent for a long time, she had to raise her head again and meet the deep pool of eyes.

Compared to her seriousness, Zhou Zongyan didn't seem to take what he just said to heart. He was quiet for a moment before speaking: "In Miss Gu's opinion, what kind of person do I belong to?"

The low and gentle tone of the person opposite reached Gu Yusheng's ears, and in the breath filled with the fragrance of the thick soup, he seemed to feel his heartbeat stopping for half a beat vaguely.

The topic is back to the original point.

The prince of the Zhou family was actually discussing with a woman what kind of person he belonged to.

Gu Yusheng felt unreal.

After a moment of silence, she whispered the answer: "Probably neither. I don't know Mr. Zhou well enough, so I can't be sure easily."

Very polite words.

Subtly, she was unwilling to analyze her fiancé too deeply.

The beginning of interest in a man.

Usually not a good sign.

The rest of the meal was relatively quiet.

After eating, she went for a walk in the yard. About 10 minutes later, the housekeeper and a servant came over with a change of clothes.

Pajamas with soft fabrics, plain-colored underwear, high-end autumn clothes, and some of the cleaning and care brands that Gu Yusheng is accustomed to using.

Before leaving, the housekeeper politely handed over a business card, "Miss Gu, please call me if you need anything. I'll be here at your call."

"Okay, thank you." She reached out and took it.

After people leave.

Gu Yusheng turned around and looked up at the second floor of the villa.

The light was on in the room near the bamboo forest. Based on previous memories, that location was probably the study room.

One mile, one outside, one up and one down.

Live separately and leave her enough personal space.

Living under the same roof, there is no more appropriate distance than this.A little relieved.

No matter what Zhou Zongyan's intention was in asking her to stay overnight.

So far, it's quite comfortable.

Before I could stop thinking, my phone rang.

I clicked on WeChat and saw that someone had applied for a friend.

The remarks column read: "Zhou Yuanxi feels guilty and wants to apologize."

Gu Yusheng raised his eyebrows.

After the addition was successful, a line of information popped up on the chat interface: [Sister Yusheng, are you home? 】

The little girl didn't know about her stay tonight.

【not yet. 】

After a few seconds, Zhou Yuanxi asked tentatively: [Brother is back from a business trip in New York. Is he next to you now? 】

Gu Yusheng replied: [No. 】

Ok?
Zhou Yuanxi blinked.

What's the meaning.

Didn't eldest brother go to Xiyuan?

its not right.

If I hadn't gone to Xiyuan, why would I have heard from my mother that my eldest brother had something to do and couldn't go back to the old house for dinner?
strangeness.

While thinking about it, Zhou Yuanxi did not forget to apologize for his reckless behavior.

Typing carefully: [Sister Yusheng, I'm sorry, I did something bad with good intentions. When I left in the afternoon, I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I couldn't bear to wake you up. I regret it after thinking about it. The temperature difference between day and night is huge in autumn. What if you slept in the yard? What should I do if I catch a cold? Oh, I won’t dare to do it next time, please forgive me. 】

She had already thought of the explanation for 'good intentions leading to bad deeds', but unfortunately Gu Yusheng didn't ask any more questions.

Because the brainwaves of the two people were not on the same line from the beginning.

The little girl apologized repeatedly, but Gu Yusheng was helpless.

Not a big deal.

In the final analysis, she was sleeping too deeply and was not vigilant. She could not blame others.

After chatting for a few words, Zhou Yuanxi suddenly sent a picture.

To be precise, it is a simple sketched oil painting.

Take a closer look.

The person in the painting is lying quietly on his side on a woven wicker chair, with a soft sleeping face. The golden osmanthus branches above his head are swaying gently in the wind. The lines of the courtyard scenery are clear and vivid. It is obviously late autumn in October, but the owner of the brush has abruptly sketched out a scene full of spring. .

Not realistic, full of solipsistic romance.

But Gu Yusheng liked it very much.

With a slight smile on her cheeks, she long-pressed the picture to save it, and then replied: [Thank you, the great painter of the future. 】

After receiving the compliment, Zhou Yuanxi immediately beamed and typed quickly with his fingers, not expecting at all that his impulsive move in the afternoon disrupted the plans and dreams of many people in the Zhou family.

Before I knew it, I was chatting with the little girl until ten o'clock in the night.

A chill started to creep up all over my body.

Turning off her phone and preparing to go back to the room, Gu Yusheng tightened her tight knitted sweater, only to find that the jacket had been soaked with a layer of wet mist from the cold late autumn dew.

When I entered the house, I looked at the light in the direction of the second floor and it was still on.

Sure enough, a workaholic.

Since Boss Zhou is focused on his career, why would he tie himself up with a marriage contract?

Can't figure it out.

Returning to the bedroom, the chill subsided a lot after taking a bath.

After being steamed by the heat, my head felt a little dizzy.

Gu Yusheng didn't sleep well. He felt like he was in dire straits, alternating between hot and cold. He was sweating in waves, and his throat was dry and itchy.

She has a special constitution since she was a child, and sometimes a simple cold can cause her to suffer from high fever.

Get up in the middle of the night.

After drinking some hot water, the back of my hand touched my extremely hot forehead.

can't.

In the end, I could only turn on the night light, find my business card, and call the housekeeper.
