Gu Er came out of the corner, pushing the food cart. When Gu Shen looked at him coldly, he quickly said, “CEO, I really didn’t do it on purpose. How can I know that Madam was calling you?”
Seeing that Gu Shen’s expression had not softened, Gu Er continued tentatively, “Madam cares about you a lot and is worried that you won’t take good care of yourself, She’s really good to you.”
Gu Shen looked away and nodded proudly. “Let’s eat.”
It was indeed useful. Gu Er suppressed the excitement in his heart and pushed the food cart over, opening the lid one by one.
The dishes were all delicacies from Hai City. They just came out of the kitchen and were still steaming, Gu Shen took out his phone and took a photo of every dish carefully. He then sent it to Yan Xi. “I’m eating.”
Yan Xi quickly replied with a clapping emoticon.
“Childish.” Gu Shen’s lips curled up. He kept the emoticon and then put away his phone. He didn’t eat much, but he had a few bites of each dish.
“Not bad. Go and ask which cook it is. Double the salary and bring him home.”
“Yes.” Gu Er sighed to himself and decided to share this with the group later so that the others would remember it. Compared to curry favor with the CEO, it was better to curry favor with Madam.
‘The next morning, Yan Xi hugged the blanket and rolled around before she woke up unwillingly.
It was already autumn in Yan City. The temperature in the morning was very low, and the heat from the blanket became a chain that bound people to the bed, indefinitely postponing the time they woke up.
Yan Xi gained her consciousness and checked her phone habitually. She wanted to look at the time, but she accidentally saw a message from Gu Shen.
In the message, there were only some photos of the breakfast that he took today. Every photo was taken from a very good angle, and it was obvious that he had spent time finding the angle and editing them.
Yan Xi smiled.
She knew Gu Shen never had the habit of taking photos of his meal, and the fact that he did it for her meant that she meant a lot to him.
It proved he really cared about what she said and was taking care of himself. Also, that kiss yesterday was an indication that she became more important to him and he liked her more and more.
Yan Xi lay back on the bed and looked at the photos in a good mood.
“Got it. I’m waiting for your return at home!”
‘As soon as she sent the message, she received a message from an unknown number. “Huaxi Hotel, Room 315, five in the afternoon. If I don’t see you in three hours, you can forget about taking back your mother’s relics.”
Luo Yun’s motive to set Yan Xi up was very obvious, but for the sake of the Host, Yan Xi had to make a trip. However, of course she would not just walk into the trap and become their prey. She deleted the message and called Huaxi Hotel.
“T want to book room 313 and room 317 for a week.”
“Yes, Madam. These two rooms are reserved for you. Have a good stay.”
After hanging up the phone, Yan Xi opened the chat box with Gu Liu and sent the room reservation information to him.
Compared to Gu Yi, Gu Liu was less famous. In fact, many people did not even know of his existence. But as a reader, Yan Xi knew that Gu Liu was a secret weapon Gu Shen had been hiding.
Asa mercenary, he was not only skilled in martial arts, but also very good at monitoring and hacking. As long as he wanted to, there was nothing that he couldn’t take care of.
‘When she thought of that, Yan Xi got a bit envious. Everyone who worked for Gu Shen was talented. Even the usually playful Gu Er was a graduate of an international school and a top talent in the financial industry.
At this moment, Gu Liu was keeping an eye on Gu Sheng. When he received Yan Xi’s message, he was also very surprised. Although they knew each other’s existence, this was the first time they came in contact.
He was about to ask more when Yan Xi sent him a second message. “I need you to monitor a room for me. Remember to record everything that anyone says in there.”
Gu Liu hesitated. He only served Gu Shen. “Madam, this is not part of my job. I need to ask President Gu first.”
“T’ll talk to Gu Shen about it. What you need to do now is to carry out my order.”
Gu Liu compromised. “I will.”
“By the way, remember to ask Gu Shen for your pay.” It cost more than one million yuan to ask Gu Liu to carry out a task, and she could not afford it.
Gu Liu was speechless.
