Chapter 91: Naughty Business, Easy to Handle (Part 2)

Xiao Chen drove the car, speeding to bring Zhou Xiaoru to the place where Gu Liyan was active: a large hot spring resort.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoru saw the hot spring resort, she slapped her own head hard.

How could she have forgotten that in this city, what was even more famous than roast duck was the hot springs.

It was a pity that she had used most of her funds to purchase roast duck, leaving nothing left to soak in the hot springs.

Just thinking about it made her feel it was a great pity.

The design of this hot spring resort leaned toward a Japanese style.

When Xiao Chen pulled open the door to the private room he had been told about over the phone, he was startled by the situation inside.

Zhou Xiaoru, upon seeing the situation inside, immediately turned around.

She was truly afraid she would get a stye tomorrow!

There were several naked men in the private room, oh, no, that wasn't right, they were wrapped around their lower bodies.

To be precise, there were several men with bare chests; they were all people from other departments of Tengyuan Company who had come on this business trip together, and among those who were bare-chested, it even included a certain Mr. Gu!

At this moment, someone was already calling out to Xiao Chen, who was standing there in a daze.

"Xiao Chen, why are you still standing there like a fool? Hurry up and change your clothes so you can come soak in the hot spring."

After being dazed for several minutes, Xiao Chen gradually came back to his senses and said repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, okay."

As for the only female comrade, several colleagues were waiting for their Big Boss to speak.

And Zhou Xiaoru was now so embarrassed that she didn't know how to make an exit!

Was this definitely not a deliberate attempt to mess with her? Calling her here, only to let her see this?

Was there something wrong with this guy's brain? Although she really wanted to soak in the hot spring, she wouldn't go so far as to squeeze into a pool with a bunch of grown men!

What had this turned into?!

At this time, Gu Liyan picked up a black bag that had been placed on the tea table by the edge of the pool and walked over.

Standing behind a certain Xiaoru, he handed the bag to her.

"Everything you need is prepared inside; go to the room next door to soak."

These words instantly resolved the awkward situation Zhou Xiaoru was currently in and also led the others on the side to start jeering.

She snatched the bag from the man's hand and rushed out of that place that was about to suffocate her.

Why were those guys jeering? They really didn't mind the chaos!

Pulling open the sliding door of the room next door, it was quiet inside, and all she could hear was the sound of flowing water.

There was a Chinese-style screen standing in front of the pool. Faintly, one could see a slight mist drifting out from the pool.

Seeing this, a certain Xiaoru finally let out a complete sigh of relief!

This day had truly gone from one shock to another!

She felt that sooner or later, she would die of sudden shock!

Looking at the black bag in her hand, she walked inside, opened it with suspicion, and took out the things inside...

There were toiletries, sealed bags, and also... a pink swimsuit!

Looking at the not-too-revealing swimsuit, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but have her face suddenly turn bright red!

Was this swimsuit picked out for her by Gu Liyan?!

In a flurry of heart-pounding hesitation, in the end, she still couldn't resist the temptation of the hot spring and began to take off her clothes.

The boss had already prepared the swimsuit for her; only a fool wouldn't soak in a free hot spring!

She tried putting on the first swimsuit of her life.

After putting it on, she found that the size was just right; it wasn't too tight, and there was nowhere that felt uncomfortable.

As expected of an experienced player who had seen countless women! He was actually able to buy the right size for her.

In fact, what she didn't know was that during these two nights of being alone together.

A certain gentleman had already personally measured her dimensions; as for how exactly he measured them, everyone can guess for themselves.

After putting away her personal belongings, she carefully stepped into the pool, feeling a little excited inside.

Just a moment ago outside, she was still lamenting the lack of funds to soak in the hot spring, and now she was soaking in it immediately.

It was truly like having a pillow appear just when one wanted to sleep!

She hadn't expected that for her first time soaking in a hot spring, she would have a whole pool to herself; just thinking about it felt wonderful.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that this hot spring water was not only soft and smooth, but also carried a hint of fragrance.

It made one feel not only physically relaxed but also mentally refreshed.

She looked at the swimsuit on her body; she didn't know if the padding in the swimsuit was a bit thick or if her chest had grown larger.

Looking down from above like this, she could actually see cleavage!

She was like a fish in water right now, and the only thing missing was for her to swim in the pool.

However, her excitement didn't last long before she was startled again by the suddenly opened door.

The sliding door of the room was pulled open from the outside.

Zhou Xiaoru's subconscious reaction to the shock was to wrap her arms around her chest.

Through the screen, a man with a perfect physique walked over faintly.

Even if one used their butt to think, one could figure out who the person coming was.

She saw a certain gentleman acting as if he were returning to his own home, turning behind the screen.

When he saw the person in the pool and those eyes filled with shock, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

Zhou Xiaoru looked at the man with a bath towel wrapped around his waist and asked stutteringly.

"What... what are you doing coming over here..."

The man's mouth corners and eyes both carried a faint smile.

"I came to see you."

Fearing that she might expose herself, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but lie face-down against the edge of the pool, keeping her back to the man so as not to look at him.

She was truly afraid that she might have a nosebleed if she stared at the man's perfect physique for a moment longer!

With such a nine-head-tall body, one would have to train for hundreds of years to achieve this kind of effect.

As silence fell over the room, only the sound of flowing water in the pool remained...

A moment later, the gentleman's next move once again plunged Zhou Xiaoru into panic.

Zhou Xiaoru only felt a gust of wind sweep over her head, and then she heard a splash in the pool.

Startled, she reflexively turned around to look at the source of the sound!

At this moment, the handsome Gu Liyan had already successfully entered the pool.

And the gust of wind she had felt just now was the handsome man taking off the bath towel tied around his waist.

That bath towel was currently lying on the edge of the pool beside her.

Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but start shrinking into the corner, saying with a panicked expression.

"Why did you come down!"

Wasn't he soaking just fine in the next pool! Why did he run over to her side again? What is this guy trying to do!

She should have known earlier that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

She only heard the gentleman chuckle and say, "You should know that I am a person with a clean-freak nature; actually, I really am not used to so many people soaking in one pool."

This sentence instantly provoked Zhou Xiaoru's skepticism. If he wasn't used to soaking with a group of men, did that mean he was used to it with her?

What kind of logic is this!

And now that they were both bare-chested and exposed like this, how did it feel like they were taking a mandarin duck bath?

This thought couldn't help but give her goosebumps all over.

Shaking her head vigorously, what kind of nonsense was she thinking about!

What mandarin duck bath? That guy Gu Liyan could at most be considered a wild duck; he was far from being a bird like a mandarin duck that symbolizes beautiful love.

Just as Zhou Xiaoru was immersed in her own wild imagination and unable to extricate herself, the CEO Gu had already slowly leaned over.

By the time Zhou Xiaoru noticed and wanted to escape, it was already too late.

The man had already trapped her entirely within his arms.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoru's hair was completely bundled up; in order to better enjoy the hot spring, she had tied it into a bun.

Her face, flushed red from the heat, combined with those round eyes, made the gentleman want to pull her into his arms and cherish her.

He tried his best to restrain the urge to kiss her; he could not do anything else to scare this girl away, as that would only push her further and further away.

Seeing that he was just staring at her without saying anything further, Zhou Xiaoru thought of how it had been like this many times before.

This guy seemed to automatically stop every time they reached a critical moment.

It seemed her suspicion was not without basis; this guy might really have a problem in that department.

Thinking of this, she wasn't as nervous anymore, and she could faintly smell the scent of alcohol on his breath.

The strange thing was, it wasn't the kind of smell that made her feel repulsed the moment she smelled it, like other people who had drunk too much.

The scent of alcohol on this person was inexplicably pleasant.

Zhou Xiaoru felt that she might have been made drunk by this hot spring, to actually think that the alcohol breath exhaled by this person smelled good?

At this time, the man who had been staring at her for a while suddenly asked a question.

"Do you hate me very much right now?"

"Huh?!" Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but feel baffled by this question; why would he suddenly ask this out of the blue?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Liyan gave a bitter smile and muttered to himself.

"It seems you really hate me, to the point that you aren't even willing to say another word to me..."

"......."

Zhou Xiaoru felt helpless; why did he have to bring up such a sore subject.

"Did you drink too much tonight..."

It really was hard for him; being a corporate CEO was not easy, with all sorts of social engagements and all sorts of things beyond his control.

At this time, Gu Liyan had already moved his body away, lay back against the edge of the pool, closed his eyes, and replied with a few words.

"Perhaps..."

A whole afternoon of social engagements made him feel extremely exhausted; although he was shuttling between various events in the afternoon, his mind and heart were thinking of this girl.

He had even endured the whole afternoon without taking the initiative to call her, nor had he prepared dinner for this girl.

He wanted to make himself not care too much about her, but the more he deliberately did so, the more he missed her.

Therefore, he had other colleagues deliberately call Xiao Chen, having Xiao Chen bring her here.

As long as he saw that round face, which always seemed to carry a question, appear before his eyes, he felt very much at peace.

Over these past few years, whether abroad or at home, in order to strive for his career, his heart had long since failed to find a place to rest.

Until he met this girl again.

At this moment, he felt even more that his care and affection for this girl were far greater than he had imagined.

And this time, he could not be too anxious; he must take it step by step to bring her back into his embrace once again.

Zhou Xiaoru, who was to the side, saw that he had already closed his eyes; it seemed he was truly too tired, so she thought for a moment and asked.

"Do you want some tea? I'll go pour you some tea."

It just so happened that she was thirsty, and she was a person who knew how to be grateful.

Since the Big Boss had invited her to the hot spring, she would pour him a cup of tea to express her gratitude.

The man lying askew did not reply, merely nodding slightly.

Zhou Xiaoru received the instruction, slowly climbed out of the pool, went to the tea table beside the screen, drank a cup herself first, then poured another, and stepped into the pool, preparing to place it beside Gu Liyan.

But...

The thing she feared most was doing a bad job despite good intentions; as she stepped into the pool and walked inside, Zhou Xiaoru didn't pay attention and tripped directly over Gu Liyan's long legs.

With a stumble, the water in the cup in her hand splashed out along with her...
