Chapter 87: Surprise or Not, Unexpected or Not (Part 1)

The itinerary of this day, and everything that happened, let Zhou Xiaoru witness what a big shot's dinner party was like, as well as the entertainment activities of big shots after dinner.

Before, she had thought that the stuff in television dramas was all just for show, meant for the audience to watch.

Unexpectedly, after experiencing it herself, she discovered that the scenes in television dramas were not entirely fake after all.

Right up until they returned to the hotel they were staying at, a certain Xiaoru was feeling very regretful about one thing.

That was, she hadn't managed to see the special service that Director Luo had meticulously prepared for Gu Liyan.

She couldn't help but sigh that she was unlucky and didn't have the good fortune to see it.

It was already nearly ten o'clock when they returned to the hotel, and Zhou Xiaoru planned to hurry back, take a shower, and then get a good night's sleep.

The long talk with Gu Liyan last night had made her so tired that she fell asleep directly on that waterbed.

After entering the elevator, she was very thoughtful; she first pressed the floor for the Love Hotel Room she was staying in, then pressed the floor for the Presidential Suite.

She had swapped rooms with Zhou Ding last night, so the key in her hand now was for the Love Hotel Room.

She thought, this guy and Zhou Ding were not only old friends but also peers, so they must have had a lot to talk about tonight.

All the way back just now, she had been carefully observing the expression of a certain gentleman.

That handsome face had been like a freezer ever since they left the nightclub.

Whoever looked at it would be instantly frozen into an icicle!

Even when they passed the lobby downstairs just now, the pretty ladies at the front desk were smiling like flowers while greeting him.

But this guy was something else, completely ignoring them!

Zhou Xiaoru couldn't figure out what this guy was angry about.

Anyway, she didn't intend to ask too much; she just wanted to go back and sleep.

After spacing out for a moment and yawning, the elevator stopped at two floors, and after the people inside got out one after another, the elevator shot straight to the floor of the Love Hotel Room.

Zhou Xiaoru glanced at the digital elevator buttons beside her, then looked at the man still standing in front of her, and she suddenly woke up.

At this moment, the elevator doors had already opened, and Gu Liyan had already stepped out first.

Zhou Xiaoru walked out of the elevator in a state of astonishment.

Watching the certain gentleman ahead walking back to the room as if he were familiar with the path, she hurriedly chased after him and said.

"Boss! You got the wrong floor! The Presidential Suite is not on this floor!"

Only to see the certain gentleman still silent, walking directly to the door of the Love Hotel Room where Zhou Xiaoru was supposed to stay.

When Miss Zhou came over, somewhat out of breath, wanting to argue with him again.

The handsome Gu looked at her indifferently and said only one sentence, which made the words a certain Xiaoru wanted to say get stuck directly in her throat.

"The Finance Department just sent me a message; let's talk about your salary now."

"。。。。。。。。。」

Hearing him say this, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but feel that she had been firmly trapped by this guy using her salary!

But damn it! This trick was just so damn effective on her! What else could she do!

Like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one was willing to beat, and the other was willing to suffer.

She herself was very susceptible to this trick, so what could she do!

She honestly took out her room card and opened the door.

After entering, she was instantly panicked and dazzled by the love-themed, suggestive lighting inside.

Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but feel that talking about salary in a place like this sounded and looked a bit strange.

But before she could even think about what was strange, she was already attracted by a few things on that large waterbed covered with bright red sheets in the room.

Frowning and squinting, she put down her bag and walked toward the waterbed.

She picked up the things placed on the bed and examined them carefully.

Two pairs of handcuffs, a leather whip, and a pink thing she had never seen before.

What does this mean?! How could these things be placed here?

At this time, the person who had gone to the bathroom after entering the room had already come out.

He also saw at this moment what a certain Xiaoru was examining in her hands.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoru saw him come out, like a primary school student, she hurriedly asked for enlightenment without shame.

"What are these handcuffs and this whip for, and this... what is this thing?"

As soon as the certain gentleman saw those things, his dark eyes sank.

He handsomely tugged at the tie around his neck, walked straight over, and took the handcuffs from a certain Xiaoru's hand.

He asked, "Do you really want to know the purpose of these things?"

"Huh?" Zhou Xiaoru didn't understand what this guy meant for a moment.

The next second, the man very close to her had already directly reached out and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Under her confused and increasingly astonished gaze, the certain gentleman directly put one of the handcuffs on his own hand first, and then put the other one on her hand...

At this moment, Gu Liyan raised a pair of handsome eyes flashing with sharp light and asked the person beside him who was still in a fog.

"I did this... do you understand now?"

"Ah?!"

Zhou Xiaoru felt as if she had been forced to jump into a mud pit, so muddy that she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't quite figure out the situation.

What did this mean? Why did she understand less and less?

Then, under her uncomprehending expression and the gaze of her very eager thirst for knowledge, the handsome Gu made another move.

He pulled her to the head of the bed on one side and put one of the other pair of handcuffs on her other hand.

And the other end of the handcuffs, this time, was not put on the certain gentleman's own hand, but on the pole at the head of the bed.

Then, with a pull from the certain gentleman's hand that was wearing the handcuffs, Miss Zhou was pulled directly to lie on the bed.

Next, he made another move that made Zhou Xiaoru blush and her heart race.

The man's palm slowly and directly gripped hers.

Their two hands, fingers interlaced!

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoru finally had a vague realization of the purpose of these things!

She was truly dumber than a pig! Just now, when she saw the handcuffs, her first reaction was actually to think of the police!

It was truly insulting, truly stupid!

How could she have forgotten the nature of this room! This was a Love Hotel Room! A Love Hotel Room!!!

She only heard the man's magnetic voice, laced with the tipsiness of alcohol, come from above.

"Now... do you know!"

Zhou Xiaoru's throat was already tightening with embarrassment!

What kind of low-level, obscene mistake had she made to actually ask such a question.

She might as well just run headfirst into a pig and die!

She had truly lost face all the way to the solar system...

Now it was a fine mess; she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet, let's see how she would clean this up.

She stammered out a few words, "I... I know."

Only at this moment did the handsome Gu's mood seem to improve slightly.

With a hint of a smile in his eyes, he replied with words that made the person beneath him blush and turn red to her neck.

"If you still have that 'I don't know anything' expression, I might have to use practical actions next to tell you the use of these things one by one."

"No... no... no need, Boss... you have already... explained it very clearly, hehehe..."

The awkward, dry laughter made her break out in a hot sweat.

Gu Liyan curled the corners of his lips, and after staring at the person beneath him for a while longer, he finally moved away from her body.

This couldn't help but make Zhou Xiaoru take several deep breaths; she had been scared to death.

She had just thought that this guy would definitely give in to his animal instincts, but she hadn't expected him to always, at the critical moment...

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but suspect whether Gu Liyan's body had problems in that department.

After getting up, Gu Liyan first tugged at the handcuffs on his own wrists and discovered that they actually wouldn't come off.

This movement instantly startled the person who was still lying in the middle of the bed like an octopus.

"What's wrong? Can't you open them!"

Gu Liyan looked at the handcuffs, searching for a switch that could open them, but other than a keyhole, there were no other switches to touch.

With his back turned, the man's lips and eyes instantly flashed with a glimmer of sharpness and a strange smile.

He spoke in a tone feigning difficulty, "It seems they won't open; there must be a key."

As he spoke, he even turned around and pretended to look for the key on the bed.

Zhou Xiaoru, whose hands were both cuffed, could only manage to sit up with difficulty.

After searching the bed thoroughly and finding no key, the desire to die grew even stronger for Miss Zhou.

Was he joking with her!

Without a key to open the handcuffs, how would she be able to face anyone in this state!

She truly felt like crying but had no tears...

Right now, both of their mobile phones were on the table opposite, and the landline phone in the room was also on that table.

Because one of Zhou Xiaoru's handcuffs had been locked to the bed frame when the man was demonstrating, they were now linked together and could not leave the range of this bed at all!

This was a tragedy; unless they shouted for help, they would have to wait for the room cleaning staff to come tomorrow morning and discover them.

This was the only solution Zhou Xiaoru could think of so far.

Immediately after, she suddenly realized another problem.

What if she needed to use the bathroom during this time?! What should she do then!!

Heavens!! She had better shout for help, but if she did that, her lifelong reputation would be ruined!!

Ah!!!

The inner state of a certain Xiaoru was already one of madness, hysteria, and collapse.

Conversely, Gu Liyan, who was sitting to the side, inexplicably felt in a very good mood.

It could even be described as excellent.

The person sitting there, feeling as if her heart had turned to ash, couldn't help but ask the man beside her in a daze.

"What should we do?"

The man sighed and replied.

"Right now, both of our phones and the landline here are on that table over there. Either you shout for help to attract the attention of people passing by outside, or we just have to wait until tomorrow morning. When room service finds us, we can ask them to open them for us."

Zhou Xiaoru had thought he would have some other ideas, but she hadn't expected him to think the same as her.

She couldn't help but carefully recall the reason why she had let this guy in just now.

A 'ding' went off in her brain!

That's right! It was the salary!

For this salary, she had truly made all sorts of compromises and sacrifices!

Now that she had even thrown away her old face, tonight, she had to get back her hard-earned money!

She turned her head directly, and like a soulless puppet, stared at the man and said.

"Where is my salary!"
