Chapter 364: The Couple Visits the Film Set

  Ling Hao Yu furrowed his brow and walked to the side of the hole where he had dug up mud earlier, touched the mud with both hands, and just as he was about to walk out, he got splashed by rainwater mixed with mud, making his slippers dirty. Finally, satisfied, he walked in front of a dazed Gu Xi, took over the flower pot from her hand, and stepped into a spotless corridor, "Come on in, anyway I've already made it dirty, if you step on it again, it won't be your fault anymore, right?"

  Gu Xi didn't see his face as he spoke, only facing his back. Watching his every move, she suddenly burst out laughing. Who would have thought that a mature man in his thirties could still play house with her like a child, and was also a young and promising entrepreneur?

  "Here it comes! The dirtier you step on, the more flowers I'll send to raise you later!" Ling Haoyu made a perfect turn and had already entered the hall. There were two guest rooms on the first floor, just next to the gym on the right side, smiling and saying.

  "Is this for real? You're actually keeping your word!" Gu Xi saw the flowers he liked and his charming self, seemingly forgetting his usual cold demeanor, picked up a flower pot and followed him in.

  "Of course! As much as you like, as much as you want!" Every time I'm with her, I feel a sense of fear in my heart. Always worried that when she gets angry, I don't know what trick to use to smooth things over. But this time, looking at her dirty little face, there wasn't a hint of fear. Walking into the guest room and opening the door, it was just the balcony of the backyard, nice view.

  What a romantic flower-planting scene, she was so skilled and elegant, planting flowers was the most suitable for her. The room where she originally lived, she no longer dared to step in. Without his consent, she walked into Ling Hao Yu's room next door, took a shower, and changed into a set of clothes that didn't belong to her - Ling Hao Yu's striped shirt, exactly like the scene when she first entered the Ling house. She started thinking of ways to wash and dry her own clothes, this dangerous man, she needed to leave here.

  Gu Xi walked down with her bare feet, feeling a faint warmth in the hall. A man was kneeling on the ground, wiping the floor clean with a mop, a scene that had appeared in her dreams before.

  She involuntarily walked to his side and picked up a piece of cloth, making the same movements as him. Possibly due to having a fever, Ling Haoyu was sweating profusely but still seemed to be enjoying himself, enthusiastically pushing back and forth. He didn't even notice that there was a girl he had a crush on standing beside him until he caught a whiff of her faint jasmine scent and suddenly looked up.

  Is he dreaming? His dirty hands slapped his face, shaking his head nonstop to calm himself down. "What's wrong? I just borrowed your clothes for a couple of hours, are you unwilling? Do you want me to take them off?" He was abnormal, but Gu Xi returned to normal, reverting back to her original appearance, and his gaze was simply from the bottom up - she was wearing his clothes!

  "Am I dreaming?" Ling Hao Yu got up in a daze, seemingly forgetting that his hands were dirty, and was about to touch Gu Xi's face. But unexpectedly, he was kicked hard with one foot, letting out a shrill cry, "Ah!"

  "Right, just a dream!" Gu Xi pretended to be disdainful and squatted down to start the busy work of sweeping the floor. She said that sweeping, wiping, and mopping were familiar tools for her, but she had never actually used them before.

  At home, she never did these things. No wonder, since she's rarely at home! At school, how was the class monitor supposed to do it? Always bullying her deskmate into doing the chores for her, so over time, this task that girls are supposed to be good at has been completely forgotten. This is probably her first time sweeping the floor.

  "I'd rather let the dream not wake up, by the way, did you have a feeling of being on duty at school?" Ling Hao Yu smiled and squatted down with her, his hands busy, but his eyes fixed intently on Gu Xi's face.

  "What's a valuable day?" Gu Xi felt his face being scorched by his gaze, turned the tables on him, and coldly killed him. He threw away the wiping cloth, walked to the sofa, propped up his legs, picked up his phone, looked at the time, and prepared for 7 o'clock. As usual, he casually picked up a cigarette and lit it up to take a puff.

  "Ah! Your joke is too cold!" Ling Haoyu said with a chill on his body.

  "If you think it's a joke, then take it as a joke, anyway, it's all the same."

  Gu Xī's expression was very serious and she no longer looked like the little girl who had been digging in the dirt earlier, starting to push people away from her as she turned on the TV.

  "My little sister is on duty for the first time today, so we should celebrate!"

  "Hey, Ling Haoyu, I'm telling you, you're rich! And you're not bad looking either! Just look at how many girls would die for you after appearing on TV. But honestly, I don't get it, what are you thinking? Are you afraid of getting married and having your assets taken over by a woman? Or is there something else?" Gu Xi started to say with some confusion, counting on her fingers.

  "Do you know why? The reason is simple, because my heart's wish is to turn my first love into a lifelong companion!" Ling Hao Yu said while washing his hands with the basin of water he had just brought out.

  "First love? Don't be ridiculous, you're already over thirty, and still dreaming of romance?" Gu Xi sneered.

  "Yes, I now feel like I've returned to the flower season, that feeling is really cool, and I'm very happy now." Ling Haoyu changed into a different person as soon as he mentioned this topic.

  "Stop! I don't want to talk to a madman. Lie down for a while, and then help me spin-dry the clothes from the washing machine, I still need to go back to my apartment." Gu Xi felt more and more absurd, his head was a bit dizzy, maybe it was because he had gotten too wet. He extinguished the cigarette and fell asleep on the sofa.

  Ling Hao Yu didn't pick her up, but instead fetched a quilt from the second floor, gently pulling it open to cover her. Her sleeping face looked so peaceful, without any ferocity.

  Soft breathing sounds, eyes narrowed into a line, and a tender face with a puffy shape. Perhaps too tired, slept very well. So he took out her clothes from the washing machine, shook them repeatedly, smoothed them out, and put them in the dryer. Step by step, doing everything perfectly, memories of this day's fragments appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.

  I never thought I still had such a childish side, at work I've never seen this side of myself, almost always being high and mighty, stopping at nothing to get what I want.

  Every document must be picked out with loopholes and improved before implementation. Since Gu Xi's appearance, Fan Yu also appeared many situations, in his heart, he didn't think of any ominous signs, the rise and fall of enterprises is also a normal phenomenon, if not making an effort to overthrow the enemy, it will be trampled to death by others.

  The next day, the Fan Yu Group welcomed another major investor, who was actually Guan Ying's relative, the Nai Duo Group. They specialized in Singapore's foreign trade building materials business. Ling Hao Yu had not planned to import equipment from Singapore, but suddenly received a message from Guan Ying of the Orange Group.

  Is this good fortune or bad? Ling Hao Yu stared blankly at the computer screen, lost in thought. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, "Come in!"

  "Mr. Ling has arrived to see you!" Xiao Xiaodong heard the permitted voice and carefully pushed open the door, saying softly.

  "Alright, wait for me in the reception room!" Ling Hao Yu was somewhat perplexed. Chen Cheng was a busy person and had never seen him come to the company to look for him. If he hadn't remembered wrongly, this was his first time coming over. Had all the cases been resolved already? Was he making a special trip to visit him?

  Ling Hao Yu casually tidied up the messy documents on his desk, adjusted his tie and headed out to the reception room. It had been some time since he last saw Chen Cheng, but somehow he felt that Chen's skin was getting whiter?

  "Hey, brother! Long time no see!" Ling Hao Yu's opening line never changed. Among the many classmates, only a few remained as close friends. He walked over to Chen Cheng's side, patted his shoulder and sat down.

  The condition is not good, recently there have been too many things, and even no time to take good care of oneself. At this moment, Chen Cheng raised his head and looked at his brother, he seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, without the spirit he had before, and the thing he just wanted to mention was swallowed back again.

  "Hey, did you overdo it with your homework tonight? Why are you so tired?" Chen Cheng ventured to say.

  "What's the point of having homework, anyway? Lately, I've just been feeling really off." Ling Haoyu sighed heavily and poured two cups of hot tea from the teapot on the table.

  "Does your family need to conduct an investigation on the water disaster?" Chen Cheng had just received his superior's order. These boring superiors, they didn't do anything themselves, but made a big deal out of these things.

  It's not that the incident at Ling's villa isn't a big deal, he knows Ling Haoyu, and once he lets him suffer a loss, he won't let it go. But this time, he didn't mention a word, I suppose there's something unspeakable in his heart. This kind of boring matter is not easy to handle, when he gets back, he still has to write a report, what to do?

  "Haha, is your boss so idle that he has to interfere with these things? Besides, I didn't file a report, I just made an urgent request. It's already been on TV, what else is there to investigate? Am I not fine?"

  "I still have to write a report when I get back, and now I have a premonition that you'll be surrounded by reporters again." Chen Cheng thought of his superior who had just recorded an interview, boasting about rescuing the Ling family villa.

  It's just the afternoon slot, and with this, many newspapers will surely come to watch. The more sensational it is, the better. A well-known domestic entrepreneur was already under scrutiny. And now there's a trailer, which has even more explosive points.

  "You usually talk big, you have something to say then just say it. Come over to my place for dinner this afternoon. Just in time to hide behind the police, vulnerable groups need protection right? Ling Haoyu had a busy day earlier because of recent constant problems and many collaborations were postponed. There was nothing important going on anyway, so he could sit down with his brother and have a good chat."

  "Never mind, just call me Crow's Mouth. You're considerate enough, I was worried that Boss Lin wouldn't have time to sit and have a cup of tea with me. By the way, how's your little girlfriend doing lately?"
