Parallel Worlds②

When Ji Su was reminded of this, he remembered that he really owed the other party a meal and immediately apologized, "Sorry, I was busy and forgot about it."

Gu Zhao was generous: "It's okay, it's not too late to think about it."

Ji Su walked to the table and picked up the laptop, "What does Mr. Gu want to eat tonight?"

"I'm all right." Gu Zhao asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Ji Su smiled and replied, "I'm the one who invited Counselor Gu to dinner, so naturally I want to eat what Counselor Gu likes."

"Good." Gu Zhao also smiled, "Then Mr. Ji will come with me."

Ji Su thought that an elitist like Lawyer Gu, who was always dressed in a suit, would prefer western food, but she didn't expect the car to stop in front of a small alley.

The two of them got out of the car and walked through narrow alleys to a small Chinese-style courtyard.

Gu Zhao casually lifted the curtain, "I found this restaurant by accident, the owner is good at his job."

Inside the restaurant is Chinese style, the environment is quiet, and there are not many customers.

Just as he walked in, a middle-aged man quickly greeted him, "Lawyer Gu, you're here!"

"Boss Zhang." Gu Zhao nodded his head in greeting, "Any more elegant rooms?"

"Yes, it happens to be the last one left." Mr. Zhang's eyes fell on Ji Su's face, "Who is this?"

"Mr. Ji." Gu Zhao introduced, "is an architect."

"So it's Mr. Ji, nice to meet you!" Boss Zhang smiled and said, "Come, both of you, this way please."

The two walked into an elegant room just opposite the window where the pomegranate blossoms bloomed red.

After ordering, the waiter took the menu and exited the elegant room, Ji Su opened the laptop he was carrying, "Counselor Gu, I'll show you the style of villas I've designed in the past."

"There's no rush." Gu Zhao picked up his tea and took a sip, "No business before dinner."

Ji Su: "......"

So why didn't you stop him just now when he was about to bring the laptop?

Gu Zhao added nonchalantly, "We'll talk after dinner."

Ji Su smiled, "Okay, Counselor Gu."

It didn't take long for the ordered dishes to be served one after another.

This restaurant is no worse than the last one, and Ji Su wonders if Lawyer Gu is a professional eater.

After the meal, Ji Su took the initiative to ask the waiter for the bill.

This time Gu Zhao didn't grab it from him and waited for him to check out and then got up, "Let's go."

Back in the car, Gu Zhao asks, "My house or yours?"

Ji Su didn't respond, "What?"

"After dinner, it's time to talk business." Gu Zhao put one hand on the steering wheel, "Your house or mine?"

"Well ......" Ji Su hesitated, "Why don't we talk back at the office?"

"Forget it then." Gu Zhao didn't force him, "I'll meet you at your office tomorrow."

Ji Su nods, "Okay."

Gu Zhao drops the man off at the entrance to the neighborhood and stops the car.

Before getting out of the car, Ji Su thanked her, "Counselor Gu, thank you for bringing me back."

Gu Zhao spoke coldly, "I don't have a problem seeing you."

Ji Su gave a lurch as he unbuckled his seatbelt, "What?"

Gu Zhao side-stepped his face and explained seriously, "After the last time I met with you, I wasn't sure how you felt about me, so I didn't take the liberty of bothering you again."

Ji Su was so vivid that he didn't say anything for a while.

Gu Zhao's tone was smiling, "But I'm glad to see you this time unexpectedly."

"Thanks." Ji Su dropped her eyes and whispered back, "I'm glad too."

Gu Zhao stared at him for an instant, "Yes?"

"Of course." Ji Su's lips curved slightly, "Lawyer Gu is here with a big project."

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just like that?"

"It's getting late, I'll go back first." Ji Su avoided the topic and opened the car door, "Slow down on your way back, Counselor Gu."

Gu Zhao didn't stop him, but just followed his back with a sunken gaze until it disappeared from sight.

*

The next morning, when Ji Su went to the office, Gu Zhao was already waiting for him.

Gu Zhao brought a contract, and Ji Su glanced through it, a little surprised at the end.

Gu Zhao sat on the sofa and tapped his fingertips on his knee, "If Mr. Ji isn't satisfied with the price, we can still talk again."

"No, that's not what I meant." Ji Su raised his eyes and honestly returned, "Lawyer Gu offered a very high price."

"It's worth the price for Mr. Ji to step in." Gu Zhao turned his watch absently, "Plus, doesn't the company still have to take a big chunk of it?"

"Since Lawyer Gu says so, I'll take it." Ji Su left her desk and walked over to him, "Lawyer Gu, happy cooperation."

Gu Zhao stood up from the sofa and extended his large hand, "Mr. Ji, happy cooperation."

His hand was warm and dry, and his grip felt strong, and Ji Su felt the slightly roughened fingertips rubbing against the back of his hand inadvertently.

Soon, though, Gu Zhao withdrew his hand and asked in a serious voice, "When is Mr. Ji going to start?"

Ji Su replied, "Anytime."

"Then let's start today." Gu Zhao looked at the time, "After work, I will first take you to see the villa."

Ji Su answered, "Okay."

Gu Zhao was about to leave the office when he suddenly remembered something: "Lawyer Gu, let's add a WeChat to facilitate follow-up communication."

"Good." Gu Zhao pulled out his cell phone from his suit pocket, "Finally, I've waited until Mr. Ji is willing to add me on WeChat."

In the evening, Gu Zhao drove Ji Su to the beach.

The two-storey detached villa, facing north and south, has excellent ventilation and lighting, and the sea view from the second floor is simply Ji Su's dream house.

Gu Zhao asked, "What does Mr. Ji think of the house?"

"Perfect." Ji Su turned back around, a little curious, "What made Lawyer Gu think of buying a villa on the beach?"

Gu Zhao puts it simply: "Chance and coincidence."

Ji Su didn't pursue the question, but only said, "I've also always wanted to build a villa by the sea, but unfortunately the funds are not enough for the time being."

"That's coincidental." Gu Zhao laughed, "It's good that Mr. Ji likes it."

Ji Su walked to the balcony, "What kind of style does Counselor Gu roughly want?"

"I don't have any desired style." Gu Zhao followed into the balcony, "Mr. Ji just follow your preferences."

Ji Su was stunned, "All to my liking?"

"Uh-huh." Gu Zhao locked eyes with him, "I trust Mr. Ji's aesthetics."

Ji Su frowned slightly, feeling the pressure multiply.

Of the clients he's taken on, there have been blowhards, those who kept a close eye on him the whole time, those who tried to boss him around, and those who just didn't let go the whole time and let him have free rein.

But with Lawyer Gu's high standards and demands, if he can't design something to the satisfaction of the other party, then he may face a full rework, and by then ......

Seemingly sensing his concern, Gu Zhao gave him a piece of mind, "Don't worry, when I say I'll leave it all to you, I won't intervene again."

Ji Su pursed her lips, "Good, then I'd like to thank Lawyer Gu in advance for his trust."

"You're welcome." Gu Zhao changed the subject, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Ji Su followed him to dinner in a confused manner even before the official start of work.

After dinner, Gu Zhao sent people back as usual.

For the rest of the day, Ji Su ran back and forth between the office and the villa.

Gu Zhao said that the full power is given to him is really all given to him, in addition to driving him to and from the car, to take him to dinner, and other all do not care, as if the renovation is not their own house.

A month down the road, the renovation hadn't gone much further, and meals had been eaten many times.

Ji Su could sense that Gu Zhao had a crush on him, but he didn't want to mix his personal feelings with his work, so he deliberately kept a certain distance.

It's a good thing that Lawyer Gu is serious and grave at work and gentlemanly in private, occasionally teasing him, but to the point, with just the right amount of charm.

Ji Su gradually lets down her guard, and the two of them become more and more natural when they get along.

On this night, Ji Su lost track of time while communicating with the construction team and finished late.

Gu Zhao took him to get something to eat, and when he finished it was after ten.

"It's too late, let's stay here tonight." Gu Zhao suggested, "Go to a nearby hotel and get two rooms."

Ji Su thought about it and agreed, "Okay, it's not safe for you to drive this late."

The two found a hotel nearby, and when they asked the front desk, there was only one business standard room left.

"It's the peak season for beach tourism, hotels have to be booked in advance, and other homes probably won't have rooms." The receptionist reminded, "Why don't you two make do for one night?"

"Okay." Gu Zhao responded, "Drive."

After checking in, the two walked into the standard room one after the other.

"Ji Su was inexplicably nervous as the door closed behind him with a snap.

He looked around for a moment, and his gaze suddenly paused.

King rooms or couples suites installed translucent bathroom can be said to be erotic, but why the business standard room also installed this glass bathroom ......

Oblivious to this, Gu Zhao walked straight to the table and set down his backpack, "Take a shower, I have an email to deal with."

"Good." Ji Su answered and walked stiffly into the bathroom.

Actually, we are all men, even if we are seen naked, it's nothing, right? ......

Ji Su saw the shower hanging on the wall and had the bright idea to turn the water temperature to the hottest.

As expected, after a few minutes the entire bathroom was surrounded by white vapor.

Ji Su put her heart down and began to undress and shower.

Gu Zhao, seated at the table, turned his head back and cast his eyes in the direction of the bathroom.

Bathroom hot air, a hazy figure reflected in the semi-transparent glass, slender and upright figure, vaguely visible beautiful curve arc, so that people would like to wipe off the water mist on the glass to see clearly, and even ......

Gu Zhao narrowed his dark eyes slightly, the color of the bottom of his eyes obscure.

Ji Su takes a quick shower and pulls the glass door open to get out of the bathroom.

The cold air in the room hit him and he took a deep breath, feeling alive.

Gu Zhao raised his eyes and his gaze abruptly froze.

The dark hair was dripping wetly downwards, the pretty cheeks were light cherry pink from the heat, and the loose neckline revealed a large area of white and pink skin, like a delicious strawberry-flavored cake.

White bathrobe is not long enough, revealing a section of slender straight calves, white eye-shattering, exuding a warm jade-like luster, it is not difficult to imagine how good the touch will be when held in the hand ......

"I'm done washing." Ji Su lifted her hand and gathered her robe, "Are you going to wash?"

Gu Zhao withdrew his eyes and his voice was low, "Uh-huh."

Ji Su sat cross-legged on the bed and turned on her cell phone to process the message.

After a moment, the bathroom door opened again.

Ji Su lifted her eyelashes and her eyes widened instantly.

Gu Zhao walked out with his bare upper body, his pecs were firm but not exaggerated, his eight-pack abs were symmetrically distributed, and the water that hadn't yet dried up rolled down his well-defined abs, leaving water marks on his beautifully smooth mermaid line, and then rolled into the towel loosely tied around his waist and crotch.

And that white bath towel, visibly bulging with a large ......

Ji Su ears were hot, panicked and retracted his eyes, stammered, "Why did you ...... you come out without clothes?"

"The bathrobe accidentally fell on the floor and got wet." Gu Zhao walks towards him, "Isn't that a towel around it?"
