Chapter 19: Life is Full of Surprises Everywhere (Part 2)

Just at this moment, a cell phone ringtone, affectionate yet fitting for the current situation, rang out from the phone in the pocket of her knit sweater...

"Just like this, loving you, loving you, loving you, wanting to be together at all times; I like the scent of your jacket and the feeling of being in your embrace..."

Zhou Xiaoru was so startled by this sudden "surprise" that her blood pressure immediately sounded a red alert!

Her heart felt like it was about to stop from the fright!

What kind of operation is this?! Is this being done to mess with her on purpose?!

The two handsome men who were about to leave naturally heard the ringtone as well, and both couldn't help but turn back and walk toward the direction of the red sedan.

Panicked, she hurriedly hung up the phone, staring dumbfounded at the caller ID on the screen; it was Ada calling...

"Oh my god!! Jesus Christ, Holy Mother Mary! All you Bodhisattvas, great immortals, and heroes! Someone save her!!"

This only solidified another thought in Zhou Xiaoru's mind: she must go get her fortune told! No one could stop her!

She is going to get her fortune told!!!

The screenwriter wasn't lying to her; the underground parking lot really is a place full of magic and surprises!

While she was thinking this, her face was already plastered with a smile that was awkward, and then even more awkward...

"Hehehe... Morning, you two..."

Seeing two peerless beauties early in the morning should be a pleasant experience for the body and mind...

But right now, she just wants to cry...

Is there a dog hole anywhere? She wants to crawl into one right now!

Sand would work too, as long as she could bury her head in it so she wouldn't have to see the honorable faces of these two.

She just came to help grab something; is Heaven messing with her?!

Zhou Xiaoru was beyond tears; the sweat on her back wasn't just dripping, it was practically sizzling!

It wasn't her imagination; why did she feel like she could hear the sound of oil sizzling on a teppanyaki grill!

At this moment, the two men, handsome enough to make one's jaw drop, were both looking at her with the kind of gaze one uses to look at a monkey in a circus.

The person crouching rubbed her somewhat numb legs and stood up stiffly; seeing that neither of them spoke, she had no choice but to explain.

"Ada said... her documents were left in the car... and asked me to come over and grab them for her... hehe..."

After finishing, she gave a dry laugh and raised the document bag and car keys in her hand.

Su Poyang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after hearing this, though he was also trying his best to suppress a smile; he hadn't expected that just as he was thinking about how to create an opportunity for them, the opportunity would come on its own...

Looking at the other big brother, his face was green, a very deep green.

Zhou Xiaoru also noticed the man's unpleasant complexion and his deep eyes flashing with a greenish light, and a sentence blurted out.

"Hehe, did you wear colored contacts today, Gu Zong? These eyes are so bright green, just like emeralds."

After saying it, she suddenly wanted to slap herself across the face!

Talk about bringing up the wrong subject! Saying something about green at a time like this—isn't that just asking for trouble while wearing a green hat!

Gu Liyan kept staring at that familiar face with its fake smile; thinking about how she currently viewed him as a homosexual, he felt inexplicably angry.

"Since you came to get something, why are you hiding here?" He was going to clarify things right in front of Su Poyang today!

"That's because... because..."

Just as Zhou Xiaoru was sweating with anxiety, Su Poyang, who had been watching for a while, took over the conversation.

"Oh, she must have seen us here and felt embarrassed to disturb us, which is why she was hiding... right, Zhou Xiaoru?"

After looking back and forth between the two, Zhou Xiaoru nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Su Zong is right! I was just trying to avoid suspicion."

Always getting tangled up with her ex, she was truly afraid that the Big Boss Su would blacklist her!

After thinking for a moment, she continued to reassure him, "Gu Zong, I know what you're worried about, don't worry! I promise I won't tell anyone about your relationship."

He had been refusing to admit his relationship with Su Poyang, wasn't it just because he couldn't save face?

She then offered a word of comfort, "Gu Zong, I know you're thin-skinned, but it's the twenty-first century now; homosexuality is legal, and abroad they even..." get married...

Before she could even finish the word "married," Zhou Xiaoru was silenced by the look on Gu Liyan's face, which had shifted from greenish to blackish-green.

And at this moment, the phone in her pocket rang again, "Just like this, loving you, loving you, loving you, wanting to be together at all times; I like the scent of your jacket and the feeling of being in your embrace, let's button our clothes together so we never have to separate, beautiful love, I just love being this close..."

The ringtone kept looping, but Zhou Xiaoru was so frightened by Gu Liyan's man-eating expression that she forgot to even answer the phone.

Why did she feel like the lyrics were singing about the pair of gay friends in front of her...

Seeing this, a light flashed in Gu Liyan's handsome eyes; his expression softened, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he reminded her.

"Answer the phone."

Zhou Xiaoru was stunned, "Ah?" Then she reacted, "Oh..." and hurriedly took out her phone to answer it...

Ada's anxious voice came through immediately from the other end, "Did you get the documents?"

"Got... got them..." Not only did she get them, she even touched two mermaids!

"I thought you hadn't found the car; hurry and bring them over, we have a meeting as soon as Gu Zong and the others arrive."

"Oh, oh, okay..." Under the gaze of those four eyes, she hung up the phone in terror and put it back into her pocket.

She swallowed unnaturally, her throat dry as smoke...

They had gone to eat grilled fish again last night; this time the fish was a bit salty, and she had gone back and drank more than half a bucket of water, so she couldn't help but feel thirsty again now.

For a moment, she stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do, when Su Poyang's voice came again to rescue her.

"Alright Liyan, it's about time, we should head to the conference room."

Hearing this voice, which sounded like music to her ears, Zhou Xiaoru felt a sense of relief, and at the same time, she gave the handsome Su a look of gratitude.

Gu Liyan looked at her for a while longer, then turned and walked toward the elevator without saying a word, and Su Poyang followed behind.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but let out a quiet breath again; she thought this little interlude had ended just like that...

But...

It had not...

Gu Liyan, who had walked a few steps away, turned around at this moment and said to the person still standing between the two cars.

"Aren't you going to deliver the documents to Ada? What are you still standing there like a fool for?"

Zhou Xiaoru was stunned again, but immediately reacted. Thinking that the big shots were about to hold a meeting, she didn't think much and hurried to catch up.

It was just that she never expected that it was precisely this "lowering of her guard" that caused her to fall into a trap once again!

Arriving at the elevator entrance, she had originally wanted to let them take Ada's documents up!

But then she had a second thought: she was just a small fry, how could she trouble two great Australian dragon kings!

She thought it was better to forget it...

At this time, the two big shots were already standing at the elevator entrance reserved for high-level executives, while Zhou Xiaoru was preparing to head toward the employee elevator in the opposite direction.

The handsome Su said very considerately to his employee, "Xiaoru, come with us; the elevator here is faster."

She gave a dry laugh and waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, President Su, I'd better take this one."

If others saw her taking the executive elevator with the big shots, she was afraid she would die even faster!

Su Poyang still insisted, "It's just an elevator; it's a special situation now, it's fine."

"This..." Just as Zhou Xiaoru was hesitating and had already taken a step, with a "Ding!" sound, the executive elevator door opened...

Su Poyang invited her again, "Come over quickly, you aren't afraid, are you?"

After a brief internal struggle in Zhou Xiaoru's mind...

She decided to just take it; riding the elevator wouldn't take more than a few minutes. When she came out later, she would just be careful not to be discovered by others. These documents were also needed for their meeting; if she took the slow elevator up, she would have to deliver them in front of so many people...

Thinking of that scene...

She hurried over with a small trot.

At this moment, Su Poyang's hand was resting on the open elevator door, and he very gentlemanly let Zhou Xiaoru enter first.

But just as Miss Zhou's right foot stepped into the elevator, she was grabbed by the back of her collar by another person standing at the elevator entrance...

Then, with a backward yank, her entire person was pulled out of the elevator!

Before she could react, the document bag in her hand was also snatched away and thrown directly into the elevator!

Immediately after, the handsome Su on the side was even more caught in a state of astonishment! As the elevator door started to close, he was pushed into the elevator by the handsome Gu with a single palm...

"Ding!" The elevator door closed perfectly.

With a dizzying spin, Zhou Xiaoru had already been pressed against the wall next to the elevator by the handsome Gu...

Staring dumbfounded at the peerless beauty right before her eyes, her brain short-circuited again, and her ears were buzzing...

Just now... what happened?!

She blinked her large eyes several times. What was this situation! She had been wall-pinned by the sub again?!

Zhou Xiaoru could faintly feel that this person was angry. After all, they had once dated legitimately, so she understood this person's emotions to some extent.

But, what was he angry about! And what was this all about now!

Pressed against the wall, she asked stutteringly, "What... what... what are you doing?"

As she spoke, her eyes darted toward the elevator on the side, thinking to herself, where is Su Poyang? At a time like this, shouldn't he jump out!

At this moment, the man's pleasant voice came, "Stop looking, Su Poyang has already gone up."

What?!

Zhou Xiaoru wailed in her heart again, and also, she felt cold...

What kind of lover is this Su Poyang? How could he leave at a time like this!

For a moment, she couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do...

Could it be that he wanted to use her to provoke Su Poyang again?!

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and stared at the black suit buttons on the man in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless as she said.

"Can you guys not drag me into your business? I've only been working here for a few days, and I have insomnia every night. Even when I fall asleep, I always have dreams of being chased by the black and white impermanence. I'm about to have a heart attack from the fright..."

Hearing this soft muttering, a smile rose in the man's eyes, and he slowly opened his mouth to say, "Do you still remember what I said to you that night last week?"

"Huh?" She raised her head in confusion, her brain rapidly trying to recall the conversation from that night, but they had said so many things in the car that night—which sentence was it?

At this moment, the man spoke slowly again, his voice still pleasant, and the words he said were even more "heart-stirring."

"I said, if you doubt my sexual orientation again, I will kiss you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoru's pupils constricted, and her heart immediately began to throb wildly!

Before she could cover her mouth, she heard this person say one more thing.

"Now, I am going to fulfill my promise."

Everything went black in front of her; Gu Liyan's lips were already pressed against her pig-like mouth...

"Boom!!" The person being kissed opened her eyes wide in a daze, and something exploded in her head with a bang...

It was like colorful fireworks flashing with brilliant light, and also like an atomic bomb explosion, rising one mushroom cloud after another...

No matter which one it was, it had completely shocked Miss Zhou...

Suddenly, her blood pressure, which hadn't had a chance to drop yet, rose again!

Her heart was pounding wildly, feeling as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Zhou Xiaoru suddenly had the feeling that she was about to have a myocardial infarction...

A moment later, Gu Liyan finally moved away from those lips. The expression on his face was a gentleness that even he himself hadn't noticed, and he felt inexplicably refreshed in his heart...

Seeing that girl frozen like a robot that had run out of power...

The handsome Gu's mouth curved into an even wider smile, and he leaned down close to her already reddened ear and said.

"Did you go eat grilled fish again last night?"

The person who was on the verge of having severe hypertension, a myocardial infarction, and a heart attack all at once asked blankly.

"How did you know?!" Her brain wasn't short-circuited now; it was flooded. Was this something she should be asking at a time like this!

The man curled the corners of his handsome mouth and leaned even closer to those bright red ears, his lips appearing as if they were about to touch them.

"On your clothes, and in your mouth, there is still the smell of grilled fish..."

"Beep.................." Zhou Xiaoru seemed to hear the sound of the electrocardiogram on the monitor turning into a straight line...
