Chapter 544: That Big Boss Has Such Special Likings
Lu Chengzhou looked at the words on the medicine tube. After reading it, he met her eyes. “Apply the medicine before resuming your sleep?”
“Oh,” Gu Mang answered rather expressionlessly and got up. She reached out to take the medicine. “I’ll do it myself.”
Lu Chengzhou did not loosen his fingers. Instead, he grabbed her arm and a smirk crept on his face. “Since it is mine, I should do it.”
Gu Mang was speechless.
…
After applying the medicine, Gu Mang watched as Lu Chengzhou took some tissue papers to wipe his hand. She bit her lip a little and her fingers trembled. She looked at his face without blinking.
She felt like hitting him.
Lu Chengzhou looked up at her and saw that she was staring straight at him as if she wanted to kill him. He smiled.
He wiped his finger clean and threw the tissue paper into the wastebasket. “Stop looking, you have to rest for a few days first.”
Gu Mang couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. She lay down and turned her back towards him.
Lu Chengzhou brushed her hair to the back of her ear. “I had s*x with you, don’t discard me after using me, okay?”
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes and looked at him. “You weren’t so flirtatious before.”
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrow and thought for a while. Then, he nodded and answered rather seriously, “I learned because of you. Don’t you like it that I got to use them?”
Gu Mang was silent.
“If you don’t like it, let me know. I’ll learn other things that you like,” Lu Chengzhou added in a low voice.
Gu Mang remained silent.
She had met someone of her match. She shut her eyes expressionlessly.
The corner of Lu Chengzhou’s lips curled up and he reached into the quilt. He grabbed her ankle and rubbed it lightly. He was about to say something when his phone rang suddenly.
He took his phone and looked at the prompt on screen. Then, he picked it up.
Old Madam’s voice was heard from the other end. “When are you bringing Gu Mang back?”
Lu Chengzhou answered calmly, “The day after tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Seeing that they would be coming soon, Old Madam Lu’s tone was better. “The Old Master of the Qin family is holding a birthday banquet on the 1st of next month. He sent a personal invitation to Ms. Gu. I’ll take her to the banquet.”
The Qin family and the He family followed the Lu family, so their families developed well.
Old Madam always gave those two families face. She personally attended the banquets that were of importance. This time, they personally wrote Gu Mang an invitation. She had to show them some face.
Lu Chengzhou kept a low profile in the capital. He almost never attended any banquets. Even if he did, he seldom stayed until the end.
He seldom went to the Lu residence, even.
Old Madam had not expected him to attend the Qin family’s birthday banquet.
The skin of Gu Mang’s ankle under Lu Chengzhou’s finger was soft and delicate. Her ankle bone was round and smooth. “I’ll bring her there.”
Old Madam Lu was rather surprised. “Are you going to attend the Qin family’s birthday banquet?”
“Yeah,” Lu Chengzhou said. “You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.”
…
Meanwhile.
With one hand in his pocket, Huo Zhi stood in front of the huge European-style panoramic windows and looked at a row of old shooting targets on the lawn outside.
The moment that the bald man came in, he looked over. The targets were filled with bullet holes, even around the corners. The only area of the targets that was untouched was the target itself.
Anyone who saw the targets would have said that the person who shot the targets was a terribly bad shot to miss so often. Only the shooting range’s maintenance staff knew how skillful the owner of the range was.
The person had special likings. She did not like hitting bullseyes and she loved the outer ring.
The bald man walked behind Huo Zhi and said respectfully, “Sir, we lost our way while stalking Master Gu Si. He disappeared at Mingyu Island.”
Huo Zhi did not say much. He just asked, “Is she at Seal Palace?”
