Chapter 314: This Is Hard to Explain
“No hurry. You can sleep later.” Lu Chengzhou pulled her towards the sofa. Then, he lifted his chin to signal for her to sit.
Gu Mang looked up and sat down casually with no expression on her face. Then, she put the gun in her pocket on the coffee table. It was a very professional gun that even had a silencer attached to it.
Lu Chengzhou looked at it and went silent for a few seconds. Then, he spoke with a low tone. “Let’s have a chat.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and turned to him. “About what?”
Lu Chengzhou picked up the gun on the coffee table and looked at her beautiful face. “Let’s start off with you telling me where you got this gun.”
Usually he stayed out of her affairs step regardless of how she messed around as long as she did not get into trouble. Seeing her at the factory was a shock, especially after he noticed she had a gun.
Gu Mang heard his question and answered nonchalantly. “Ah, this? I’d rather not say.”
She looked at him and her eyes were crystal clear. They were pure black and white, and really beautiful. Lu Chengzhou did not speak. Gu Mang stared at him. She had very pure eyes which hid a thin layer of mist beneath them.
After a while, Lu Chengzhou bit his lip and couldn’t do anything about her. He was no longer mad. He lowered his voice and said, “Sure, let’s talk about something else.”
Gu Mang did not answer. She was still staring at his eyes.
Lu Chengzhou was afraid that they might not be able to chat about anything tonight if she continued staring at him like that, so he got up and poured some water.
Gu Mang rested her chin on her hand and her eyes were half closed. She gazed at his slender back and smirked.
Lu Chengzhou brewed a cup of honey water and pa.s.sed a cup to her. Then, he spoke expressionlessly, “In the future, if you come into a situation like tonight’s, do not charge in. Stay where you are and wait for me to find you.”
Gu Mang took the cup from him and drank. She crossed her legs and leaned back down on the sofa. She rested her head on her cold, pale hands sluggishly. The cup was swaying around in her hand. The corner of her thin, beautiful lips curled up. She looked brash and prideful, and a little wicked.
Lu Chengzhou stood in front of her and his eyes shrank as he watched her posture.
“I’m afraid I cannot do that,” Gu Mang said slowly. Her voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. “If something happens to you, I cannot pretend not to see it. I’ll do the same next time.”
Hearing that, Lu Chengzhou frowned. “What if you get hurt?”
“I’m not afraid,” Gu Mang said nonchalantly. What kind of hurt had she not experienced before?
“I am.” Lu Chengzhou looked at her deep, dark eyes that were so stubborn.
Gu Mang stopped talking. The two of them just stared at each other like that.
After a minute, Lu Chengzhou sat down and his voice was low. “Do not take such a risk again. The opposition are not street hooligans, they are professional killers. They are as skillful as Red Scorpion.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow. She tilted her head in a wicked manner with a fearless look on her face. “Do I look weak?”
Lu Chengzhou was speechless.
“So,” she paused and laughed lightly. “I won’t get into trouble. Don’t worry.”
Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes and laughed with her suddenly. “Then do you think I look weak?”
She did not insist on wanting to go at the front. She just wanted the other party to see her att.i.tude and let the person know not to mess with her people. This was rather hard to explain.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Gu Mang got up and put down the cup in her hand. Expressionlessly, she said, “It’s getting late, time to sleep.”
“I am not done talking to you.” Lu Chengzhou grabbed her wrist. Seeing that she had turned around, he continued, “Promise me first, in the future…”
Just as he spoke, Gu Mang suddenly grabbed him by the chin and bent down.
