Chapter 119 Moaning intermittently
Gu Miao's cheeks were still warm when she was led out of the secret room.
She came to her senses only after being placed on the sofa and having something cool pressed on her cheek.
Looking up, it was Gu Xu who held an apple against her cheek.
Seeing her come to her senses, he took back his hand and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Gu Miao shook her head, holding the apple he gave her and quietly looking at his office.
This was her first time coming to He's, and it was also her first time entering Gu Xu's office.
Much bigger than she imagined.
The office window opened a crack, and the cold air that blew in quickly dispelled the heat on her face.
Gu Xu asked his secretary to bring in some desserts to fill her belly.
Even if she said she wasn't hungry, he said he would take her out to eat in half an hour.
Gu Miao woke up from a dream and followed his figure with her eyes, watching him sit down behind his desk, put on his glasses, and start working.
It was completely unexpected that a person whose mind just now was full of...waste could break away from warmth so quickly and quickly adjust to work.
Sensing her gaze, Gu Xu handed the file to Eric and looked up at her, "If you're bored, you can play games. You can use both the game console and my computer."
"But you can't leave."
It stands to reason that there should be a lot of confidential documents in his computer. But he didn't care.
He just repeatedly emphasized not to leave his office.
Gu Miao touched her mobile phone in her pocket and found that the video with Qi Yu had long been hung up.
The screen remains black, it may be due to low power.
"Can I borrow the charger?"
"Of course." Gu Xu gave Eric a look, and the latter quickly found a charger for her.
A few minutes passed and the phone still couldn't be turned on.
"How could it be..."
Seeing her sad face, Gu Xu said: "Maybe it broke. I'll buy a new one later."
"...Okay." Gu Miao paused, but couldn't help but said: "Can you ask someone to go down and talk to Qi Yu? I'm afraid that he will be impatient to wait."
"Qi Yu?"
Gu Xu stopped signing.
The gauze on the injured hand hadn't been replaced yet.
It had just been wet with her water, and it had not been dried by the heater yet, and traces could be seen vaguely.
No one gives it a second thought.
Others would just think it was water he accidentally got on while washing his hands.
Only he and she know the source of this water...
Glancing at the number above his head, Gu Miao said with peace of mind: "I couldn't come to Hong Kong City myself, so I asked him to accompany me."
"Including today. I wanted to see you, so I found Manager Yue, but I was afraid... so I asked Qi Yu to follow."
The eyes under the lenses raised slightly, and the man behind the desk gave him a look. Eric understood and went down to deliver the message.
Seeing this, Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Eric left and the heavy door of the office closed, blocking out all noise and prying eyes from outside.
Before Gu Miao had time to look away, she heard Gu Xu ask her: "I didn't have time to ask just now, why are you so anxious to see me."
In the secret room, what she said at that time was indeed misunderstood as an excuse to stabilize him.
Now it seems that it is not.
Gu Miao looked over with a hint of confusion in her eyes. After reacting, she stood up immediately.
Gu Xu watched her come over and obediently sat down on the chair opposite him. The two of them were separated by a desk, and their breaths quickly intertwined.
She put her hand on the table, together with the apple that had been heated for a long time.
Like the innocent and kind Snow White, who was reluctant to throw away the poison apple given to her by the witch, but boldly approached the witch.
Blinking his big watery eyes, he lowered his voice and said timidly: "I heard from other people that your hand was injured and was picked up by your grandpa again. So I am very worried about you..."
"Manager Yue also said that today's meeting is very important. In order to beat you, grandpa will not let you come." "What else did he say."
Men are good at tempting.
Gu Miao shook her head slowly.
In exchange for a fond chuckle.
"Did he also tell you that if I don't show up today, you will go to the He family to see grandpa?"
"..." Gu Miao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Gu Xu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he knew what happened just by looking at her reaction.
He knew Yuesong's temperament.
It is impossible for Gu Miao to know Yue Song, and Qi Yu and Yue Song are not familiar with them either.
The only reason they were able to keep in touch was because Yue Song took the initiative to find them.

Most likely, he used harsh words to scare her.
The man's eyes were helpless, but when he looked at her, his hard heart was extremely soft.
His eyes were straight. Gu Miao scratched her cheek and tilted her head in embarrassment, "Anyway, as long as you're fine."
"It's just that grandpa doesn't seem to like me very much, so I'm afraid it's not an option if this continues."
"Otherwise, I'd better leave the capital and go to a place farther away. This will be bad for you, brother..."
"Miaomiao."
He called her, his tone much lower than before.
Gu Miao closed her mouth and looked at him carefully.
"If I remember correctly, my brother just praised you for being an obedient and good boy."
Gu Miao's breathing stopped, her eyes evaded as she couldn't help but recall certain scenes.
Like a bird with broken wings, the ends of her hair were wet with sweat. Her messy hair covered her eyes, and her eyes were completely dark. The wings were broken, dripping with blood, the moans caused by pain overflowed intermittently, and the broken bird was teetering.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, the bird's feathers are neat and tidy, lying in its owner's arms obediently, with no trace of disobedience on its body.
Quietly, just asleep.
Until it woke up from its sleep, the bird's pupils widened and its feathers fluttered all over the ground.
The master gently kneaded the back of his neck, soothing him and easing the waves that swept through his body.
Okay, okay.
Good boy.
It's over.
Gu Miao lowered her head silently, not daring to speak again.
The lowered head was gently rubbed by the man, "Brother will solve everything. Later, you can rest assured and return to Beijing with Qi Yu. From now on, unless my brother brings you here, otherwise..."
He sighed helplessly, "Next time, you can't be so naughty."
"Even if it's for me."
"..."
"But, but..." Gu Miao frowned, how should she say it.
That she dreamed he was dead? Say she has a high probability of predicting the future?
Will he be considered a lunatic?
"But the port city is very dangerous. I will be worried if you are alone."
"And if grandpa hates me, then I will always stay by your side. Injuries like this will definitely happen again."
She stroked his palm and forced him to make up his mind, "If brother doesn't want to... don't want to conflict with grandpa."
"Actually, there is another way to choose."
After saying this, she put the butterfly knife that Qi Yu had saved her life into Gu Xu's hand——
"If you don't want me to leave, then keep me here forever."
