Chapter 69: Parallel Worlds (6)

The next day was Monday, and Ji Su woke up right on time with her biological clock ticking.

Before his consciousness had fully returned, he tried to sit up his upper body, only to have a tingling sensation on the side of his leg as soon as he moved it.

Ji Su lowers her head, her eyes touching her inner thighs.

The flawless white skin was reddened, and a layer of ointment was applied to the broken areas, which eased the pain somewhat.

Remembering how the skin was broken here, Ji Su blushed again in the morning.

In fact, the memory of last night is confusing, he only remembers that he was sweating all over the place, so sticky and slippery that he could hardly hold on to it.

and Gu Zhao in his ear, a tersely, almost complimentary sigh.

He realized that the seemingly cold and ascetic lawyer Gu, in some moments is completely different ......

"A creak interrupted his thoughts.

Gu Zhao walks in, "Awake?"

Ji Su quickly folded her legs together and looked over.

During the day, Lawyer Gu was dressed in a suit, his dark frontal hair was combed back meticulously, and he exuded an intellectual air.

If the tingling in his inner thighs hadn't still been sharp, he'd have almost wondered if last night hadn't been a ridiculous dream he'd had.

Gu Zhao walks toward the bed, "It's 7:30, still time for breakfast."

Ji Su avoided that look, "Okay, I'll be up in a minute."

He gets up and gets out of bed, heading for the bathroom in a somewhat unnatural position.

Gu Zhao stood still, his gaze falling on his leg without trace.

Those long, straight legs were more powerful than they looked, almost inches away when they were twisted hard enough to sweat, thankfully.

As for the red mole on the side of the leg, it is even more sensitive, the slightest touch will be shivering ......

Lawyer Gu's throat twitched slightly, lifted his hand to loosen his bowtie, and turned to walk out of the bedroom.

After breakfast, Gu Zhao drove Ji Su to work.

Law firms and construction companies just happen to be in the same direction, though the latter is a little further away than the former.

"Lawyer Gu, you can put me down right here." Ji Su indicated, "The road behind is not far, I can take a taxi there."

Gu Zhao gave him a sidelong glance, "How can we stop halfway when we've been sent here?"

Ji Su asked, "But don't you find it troublesome to return after delivering me?"

"Don't think so." Gu Zhao stepped on the gas, "How can it be a bother to drive you to work?"

Ji Su no longer insisted, "Alright then."

Soon the car was parked near the company building.

Ji Su raised his hand and prepared to unbuckle his seatbelt, "Counselor Gu, thank you for driving me to the office."

Gu Zhao turned his face, "Ji Su, we are married."

"Huh?" Ji Su asked with a flurry of movement and uncertainty, "Yeah, what's up?"

"We're married, so you don't have to be too polite with me." Gu Zhao stared into his eyes, "Because I won't be polite to you either."

Ji Su, having now caught on, responded softly, "Yes, I know."

He really needed to get used to the fact that he had suddenly become married.

"Go to work." Gu Zhao leaned over and unbuckled his seatbelt for him, naturally following through with a kiss on the corner of his lips.

A slapdash kiss, but the warmth of the touch was unusually sharp.

Ji Su was stunned and stared at him dumbly.

"Go on." Gu Zhao smiled, "See you tonight, Mr. Ji."

Ji Su snapped back to her senses and, red-faced, opened the car door and headed for the building's entrance without looking away.

A few seconds later, the familiar voice came from behind him again, "Mr. Ji, I forgot something."

Ji Su turned around, took his backpack, said "thank you" quickly, and zipped into the building without looking back.

He didn't calm down until he got into the elevator.

It was just a kiss on the corner of the lips. How could he be so out of touch?

No, next time we have to win back the city, we can't keep letting Lawyer Gu be so complacent ......

In the midst of his thoughts, the elevator dinged and reached the floor.

Ji Su walks in the front door of the company, responds to the greetings of her coworkers, and walks straight to her office.

He had just sat down at his desk and hadn't even turned on his computer when the office door was pushed open.

Mr. Gao walked in and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ji, how was your weekend?"

"Mr. Gao." Ji Su greeted and returned politely, "The weekend was fine, is there something you want?"

"Nothing much, just came to care about my right-hand man." Mr. Gao sat down on the sofa opposite him and asked seemingly casually, "By the way, just now when I was standing in front of the office window, I saw that you seemed to be coming down from Lawyer Gu's car?"

Ji Su did not move to change the subject, "Why did Mr. Gao come so early today?"

"Monday well, to start a good week." Mr. Gao brought the topic back, "I'm not mistaken, you came in Lawyer Gu's car, right?"

Ji Su knew there was no way to avoid it, and casually made up an excuse: "Lawyer Gu came to talk to me about something this morning, and dropped me off at the office on his way."

Mr. Gao immediately said with concern, "What? Is something wrong with that project of Lawyer Gu's?"

"Nothing, minor problem." Ji Su returned, "It's been solved."

"That's good, that's ...... good," Mr. Gao asked tentatively, "Ji Su, do you and Lawyer Gu have a good relationship in private?"

Ji Su blurted out, "General, just had contact on previous projects."

"Ji ah, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you." Mr. Gao changed his address three times in a minute, "What about that lawyer Gu, on the surface, he's just a partner in a law firm, but in fact, his family background is very deep."

Ji Su drops her eyes and eyelashes, "Mr. Gao, I'm not so sure about that."

"Then let me put it to you this way, half of the industries in A City are surnamed Gu, especially in the construction and real estate industry." Mr. Gao said meaningfully, "Make good relations with the Gu family, and you won't have to worry about your future projects."

Ji Su's face remained calm, and he returned without being overbearing, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I'm afraid I can't be of much help since my friendship with Lawyer Gu is too shallow."

Not to mention his unwillingness to mix his personal affairs with his work, he would never be able to make use of Gu Zhao's connections to benefit the company and himself.

"It doesn't matter ah, friendship is also people out of it." Mr. Gao continued to lobby, "you more with the lawyer Gu to interact with, things will not be good?"

"As you know, Mr. Gao, I've never been good at people skills." Ji Su opened his computer, "This matter, perhaps you can leave it to someone else."

Seeing that he couldn't make sense of it, Mr. Gao's expression was a bit irritated, but he couldn't afford to have a fit, so he could only slam the door in anger.

After all, Ji Su is currently the face and face of their company, and he doesn't want to let anyone go just yet until he finds a replacement designer.

Ji Su sighed softly and began to take care of her work.

Toward the end of the day, Ji Su received a message from Mr. Gu.

Gu Zhao: [I'm off work, are you working late tonight?]

Ji Su looked at the text in the dialog box and, after some deliberation, typed a reply.

Ji Su : [It's going to be a short shift, so go home first.]

Gu Zhao: [Add to what time? I'll pick you up.]

Ji Su : [It's not clear yet, it might be late, I can take a taxi back by myself].

Ji Su : [Don't worry, Counselor Gu, I recognize the way home.]

Gu Zhao: [Mr. Ji is so smart, of course he knows the way home.]

Ji Su clicked off her cell phone and continued to draw.

At the end of the day, the employees in the company left one after another.

The little assistant knocked on the office door and poked her head in, "Mr. Ji, aren't you getting off work?"

"I have a few things to take care of." Ji Su raised her eyes, "You go ahead and leave work."

The little assistant happily returned, "Okay, then I'll leave work first."

Ji Su sat in his office killing time, waiting for everyone to get off work before he packed up his desk and got up to leave.

I had just stepped out of the office door when I was confronted by a young face.

"Ji Su!" Lu Xinghua's eyes lit up and his tone was excited, "You really haven't gotten off work yet, I'm too lucky!"

Ji Su frowned and took a step back, "Can I help you?"

"What can I be doing here, of course I'm here to see you!" Lu Xinghua walked to him with a few big strides and stuffed the roses in his arms, "I sent someone to send flowers and you didn't want them, so I had to come and deliver them myself."

The scent of roses was a bit of a punch in the nose and Ji Su leaned back, "Mr. Lu, I think I've made myself clear to you."

"I know you were disgusted with my lack of maturity, but I've changed now." Lu Xinghua emphasized, "Ji Su, just give me a chance."

Ji Su wanted to put the roses on the table, but didn't want her coworkers to gossip about them after work tomorrow, so she could only carry the flowers and head for the door.

Lu Xinghua hurriedly followed his footsteps, "Ji Su, why don't you say anything?"

Ji Su turned off the last row of lights, locked the company door, and walked quickly toward the elevator entrance.

Over the years he has met all kinds of suitors, and Lu Xinghua is one of the toughest.

The uneducated rich second generation, spoiled by his family since childhood, always felt that there was nothing in this world that he could not get, so the more he refused, the more the other party came.

Lu Xinghua followed him all the way out of the building, confessing to himself beside him.

Seeing him walking faster and faster, Lu Xinghua couldn't help but reach out to him, "Ji Su, are you listening to me or not?"

Ji Su dodged the hand and asked seriously, "Lu Xinghua, how about you let me go?"

Lu Xinghua froze for a moment, his expression a bit hurt, "Does my liking make it so hard for you to accept?"

"Because you like me without liking me as a person." Ji Su made an analogy, "It's like you're liking a toy and you have to hold it in your hand and play with it for a while before you stop."

"It's not like that." Lu Xinghua shook his head vigorously, "I genuinely like you, why aren't you willing to give me a chance?"

Ji Su decides to give up on the cow and looks around, trying to find a trash can to throw the flowers in.

Instead of finding a trash can, however, a familiar car was spotted.

Ji Su's heart thumped and he said, "Oh no."

While he was distracted, Lu Xinghua came back up to pull his wrist, "No matter what you say, I just have to like you."

Ji Su subconsciously shrugged off the other man, and in his haste, he stuffed the flowers back in one hand.

Not waiting for Lu Xinghua to react, he took a step and ran forward.

The black car, parked on the side of the road, quickly and silently followed.

Lu Xinghua, holding a large bouquet of flowers, watched Ji Su get into the car and could only shout in vain, "Ji Su! I won't give up!"

The glass windows were soundproof, and Ji Su calmed her heartbeat and opened her mouth to ask, "Lawyer Gu, when did you get here?"

Gu Zhao returned nonchalantly, "Came over right after work."

Ji Su pursed her lips, "You can tell me when you're here, you don't have to wait for me all the way downstairs."

Gu Zhao gave a laugh, "Blame me for disturbing Mr. Ji by coming here uninvited."

"It's not ...... " Ji Su looked at him and explained in a warm voice, "That man just now is the client I mentioned before, I met him at the door when I was off work and didn't know beforehand that he would come. "

Gu Zhao didn't say anything and pulled over, apparently still waiting for the next explanation.

"I was going to throw that bouquet away, I just couldn't find a trash can for a while." Ji Su said in a helpless tone, "I've literally turned him down so many times, and was doing so just now."

The ice that had formed on Gu Zhao's face finally melted a little, and he answered, "Uh-huh."

Ji Su coaxed intentionally, "Luckily, Lawyer Gu had the foresight to come and pick me up."

Gu Zhao turned his face to look at him, "I thought Mr. Ji didn't want me to pick you up from the office?"

Ji Su laughed, "But Counselor Gu is still here."

Gu Zhao's eyes darkened, not easily fooled by him, "You don't want anyone to know what's going on between us?"

"Yes, but it's not what you think." Ji Su returned frankly, "Mr. Gao approached me today, and he wants me to climb into a relationship with you."

Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Climb what?"

Ji Su simply summarized, "Mr. Gao seems to know your background."

"It's not surprising that he knows." Gu Zhao tapped his fingertips on the steering wheel, "He wants to take on a few more projects, no problem, but they have to be all docked to you."

Ji Su politely declined, "That's not good."

"These are just small things." Zhao Gu wrinkled his brow, "Like I said, you don't have to get too raw with me."

"It's not a matter of being born or not." Ji Su patiently analyzed him, "I don't run this construction company, I'm just a hired hand, and my energy is limited, so why should I use your connections to take on more projects for the company?"

Counselor Gu was a little bit more understanding, "I know what you mean."

Ji Su's brow arched as he said, "When I open my own construction company in the future, I can rely on Lawyer Gu for some benefits."

"Seeking benefits?" A smirk emerged from the bottom of Zhao Gu's eyes, "Then, Mr. Ji, you have to pay something for it."

Ji Su blinked her eyelashes, "With my relationship with Lawyer Gu, do I need to pay for anything else?"

Gu Zhao slowly and methodically asked back, "Then Mr. Ji tell me, what is my relationship with you?"

Ji Su stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly probing over and leaving a kiss on his cheek.

Gu Zhao looked dazed, and did not give any reaction for a while.

Ji Su's ears were slightly red, and a hint of sweetness and a hint of smugness flooded her heart, Lawyer Gu also had times when she was confused by his kisses.

A few seconds later, an ethereal cold scent invaded the room.

Gu Zhao One hand pinched his jaw, and his hot lips pressed down in a dense, hard line.

Ji Su's brain went blank and he remained motionless.

Gu Gu rubbed his lips and probed his tongue, trying to pry open the closed slit.

An electric current crackled from between the pressed lips, and Ji Su shivered, raising her hand to push the other away.

Gu Zhao, however, was not what he had hoped for, and remained like a mountain in front of him.

Ji Su's heart was beating wildly and his fingers subconsciously gripped his stiff suit jacket.

Gu Zhao's eyes were so thick that they dripped ink, and his large hand turned to pinch the back of his neck, biting the wet, soft lips not too gently.

"Mmm......" Ji Su took the pain, her mouth opened and her hot tongue took the opportunity to slide in.

Gu Zhao came up and kissed him ferociously, rampaging through his mouth, kissing and biting, kissing him so hard that his whole body went limp.

The sound of "slurping" water echoing in the small interior space of the car is blushing.
