Chapter 92: A Trip to the Hot Spring

Actually, there was no need to be so nervous; they were both soaking in the pool now, so if this tea spilled, it spilled.

However, who would have thought that this cup of tea was not a cup of ordinary water.

It had a mind and personality of its own, and instead of spilling directly into the pool, it splashed straight onto the handsome face of the man who was resting with his eyes closed!

Zhou Xiaoru held the cup, her eyes already widened like a pair of copper bells.

Fortunately, the water in the cup was warm; if this had been a cup of boiling hot water...

Wouldn't Gu Liyan have been disfigured?!

At this moment, the gentleman who had been splashed in the face had his eyebrows already knitted into a "chuan" shape.

Taking advantage of the moment before he opened his eyes, Zhou Xiaoru hurriedly put down the cup in her hand, walked to the edge of the pool, picked up a bath towel, and rushed to wipe the Big Boss's face.

While wiping, she did not forget to apologize, "Boss, I... I'm sorry, I'll pour you another cup in a moment."

At this time, the eyes of the great President Gu were already open, staring straight at the person in front of him who was not wiping his face, but rather seemed to be inflicting a punishment upon him.

The man then glanced at the bath towel used to wipe his head, his eyebrows knitting even tighter, and he moved his lips to say.

"Zhou Xiaoru, are you taking revenge on me!"

As the words fell, the movement of Zhou Xiaoru's hands paused, and she explained repeatedly.

"No, no, no, absolutely not!"

"The bath towel you are using to wipe my hair right now should be the one I just tied around my waist..."

Ah?!

Zhou Xiaoru blankly looked at the man's face, which was already beginning to turn foul, and then looked at the bath towel in her own hand.

Now that he mentioned it, it seemed so; could it be that this bath towel had been used by him to wipe his feet, or... had it been used to wipe his bottom?!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoru also felt that using this bath towel to wipe Young Master Gu's head was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

"Th... that, how about, I... I go get a new one?"

As she spoke, she intended to get up and go get a new one.

"No need, help me pour a cup of water."

"......"

For the first time, Zhou Xiaoru was so obedient, without any words of rebuttal.

It really wasn't intentional just now; who would have thought that the cup of water would so coincidentally splash onto his face.

Without a word, she took the bath towel and climbed out of the pool again.

She poured another cup of water and brought it down, looking just like a maidservant carefully serving her master.

This time, Zhou Xiaoru was careful, careful, and even more careful, and finally, without any further mistakes, she successfully brought the cup of water over under the gaze of the gentleman.

Handing the teacup to Young Master Gu, perhaps because of the two consecutive accidents, Zhou Xiaoru felt a few traces of guilt.

She accompanied it with a smile and said, "Sir, please have some tea!"

This address of "Sir" caused Young Master Gu's expression to soften instantly.

The corners of his mouth even curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile...

At this moment, in the hot spring pool, mist was drifting, and the handsome Gu was leaning back against the edge of the pool with his arms resting comfortably.

His hair was a bit disheveled and damp, but that didn't hinder his handsomeness at all.

This appearance made Zhou Xiaoru feel dry-mouthed and swallow hard.

She suspected that this guy was trying to seduce her!

Finally, after staring at each other for a while, Gu Liyan finally reached over to take the water cup.

He asked, "What did you call me just now?"

Zhou Xiaoru continued to smile, "Sir!" Holding her salary hostage, if this wasn't a "Sir," what was it.

The gentleman, with a smile in his eyes, first took a sip of water, then continued.

"Alright then, come over and massage my shoulders now!"

"Ah?!" Zhou Xiaoru looked astonished! What did this mean? Massage him?!

"Yes, what's wrong? Didn't you just call me 'Sir'? Isn't this something you should be doing as part of your duty?"

Zhou Xiaoru immediately cursed in her heart, "Damn it!"

What was part of her duty! This guy really was using her as a maidservant.

Although she was extremely unwilling in her heart, the servility in her bones was at work.

Watching that person close his eyes again, looking somewhat tired...

Forget it! She thought, if he wants a massage, then massage; just treat it as showing filial piety by massaging her grandfather.

She had just used the bath towel he used to wipe his bottom to wipe his head; if she didn't humor him a little, she didn't know what tricks he would come up with to mess with her later.

Thinking this way, her heart felt much more at ease, and she stopped struggling with it.

However, what happened next was uncontrollable and unimaginable.

If Zhou Xiaoru had known that her good intentions would lead to such an outcome, she would never have come to the hot spring even if it killed her!

When she climbed out of the pool again, preparing to squat by the edge of the pool to massage the Big Boss...

As soon as one of her feet climbed out of the pool, before she could stand steady, the other foot followed and slipped directly.

Along with the panicked "Ah" that rang out from Zhou Xiaoru as she slid into the pool, a song flashed through her mind!

"Friction, friction, friction on this smooth ground, one step two steps, one step two steps, step by step like claws and teeth, it's the devil's pace, friction, friction..."

Well, now she had truly "frictioned" to the end.

As a huge splash was stirred up in the hot spring pool, Young Master Gu had already successfully caught the person who had fallen.

But because of this, the handsome look of the handsome Gu, as well as his plan to take a short nap, were completely ruined!

This monstrous wave directly blasted Gu Liyan's hair into a wind-blown, disheveled style.

That hair had completely turned into a single bundle, like a water spout, all stuck together.

Zhou Xiaoru, whose little heart had already been scared off to the Pacific Ocean, fell into the arms of a certain gentleman and wiped her face vigorously with her hand.

What just happened?

What is going on with her tonight?!

When she looked across and saw that certain gentleman, whose handsome face was already occupied by hair, still standing there motionless...

She thought, it's over! Young Master Gu must think she is retaliating again!

She really, really didn't do it on purpose!

Wiping her face again, harboring a violently pounding little heart, she reached out with trembling hands to help brush away the hair that was covering the handsome man's face like water weeds.

While brushing it away, she asked with some worry.

"Bo... Boss... are... are you okay!"

If she had encountered these things, she would have been not okay long ago!

And after she smoothed the hair on that certain gentleman's face to the sides, only then did Gu Liyan slowly open a pair of eyes that had turned red.

As soon as she saw this guy's gaze, Zhou Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat in fear.

It's over, she could feel that this guy was already on the verge of snapping.

Today might be an unlucky day for her, Zhou Xiaoru; nothing is suitable!

Seeing that this person just kept staring at her without saying a word, she couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.

"Th... that, I'll go get you a clean bath towel, you wait for me a moment."

After saying that, she hurriedly pushed away from Gu Liyan's embrace and waded to the opposite side, fearing that if she went up from his side, something else might happen.

Gu Liyan behind her also reached out his hand at this moment, wiped his face, and then scratched his hair.

If he hadn't seen this girl's panicked expression, he would have really thought this woman was deliberately messing with him.

At this time, the person who had already retrieved a dry towel from in front of the screen had already run back.

Don't know why, at this moment, Zhou Xiaoru suddenly felt a bit cold all over.

Come to think of it, soaking in this hot spring and having these little episodes happen one after another had scared her body temperature down by several degrees.

At this time, Gu Liyan had already sat back down, and she held the dry towel out to that person and said.

"Are... are you going to wipe it yourself, or..."

She didn't finish the rest of her sentence, because Young Master Gu's face was gloomy, and the look in his eyes was also pitch black.

Knowing she was in the wrong, she said helplessly.

"Alright, I'll wipe it for you."

Saying that, she already started wiping his hair for him.

While wiping, she was chanting sutras in her heart.

Bodhisattva bless, please don't let this guy get annoyed, otherwise the salary she is about to receive might very well be docked again.

Finally, under the wiping of the bath towel in her hands, Young Master Gu's image gradually returned.

It's just that this person's silent appearance was truly a bit terrifying.

Putting down the towel in her hand, she looked for a topic and said.

"That, Boss, how about you go to the next room to soak instead."

The two of them must be incompatible, their fates clashing; if this continues, she is really afraid that she might accidentally ruin Young Master Gu to death!

But immediately, under that certain gentleman's cold glare, she had to shut her mouth and stop talking.

Not long after, Gu Liyan got out of the pool and left the private room without saying a single word from beginning to end.

Watching the back of that person leaving, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but suddenly feel a bit of sympathy.

She knew that for this collaboration, Gu Liyan had been very tired these past few days; originally, tonight was the last night of the business trip to enjoy himself properly.

But it was ruined by her...

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but sigh.

Sigh, today it was her mistake, and she didn't know if that guy would hold a grudge. It seems she should be more polite to him when she sees him at the company in the future.

This hot spring trip is truly going to leave a shadow in her heart.

In the future, if she goes to take a bath, she will probably think of this episode today.

Two hours later, at Xiao Chen's call, Zhou Xiaoru finally packed up and left the hot spring pavilion.

Although there was a little episode in the middle, this hot spring soak was indeed very comfortable.

When she went out and passed by the private room where Gu Liyan and the others had been just now, she discovered that everyone had already left.

And Xiao Chen had specifically stayed behind to wait for Zhou Xiaoru.

After getting into the car and glancing at the folder left in the car, she asked Xiao Chen who was driving.

"Where is President Gu?"

"The President has a gathering tonight, so he asked me to take you back first."

Still have social engagements, Zhou Xiaoru deeply felt that being a boss is not easy.

It's already ten o'clock now, and she didn't know how late Gu Liyan would have to socialize tonight.

She remembered that these past few days, that guy had to drink a lot of alcohol every day.

Thinking of this, the sympathy in her heart increased by a few points.

Xiao Chen, who was driving, had been paying attention to the movements in the back seat the whole time.

After Zhou Xiaoru finished sighing, she raised her eyes and once again bumped into the dodging little gaze in the rearview mirror.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and called out, "Xiao Chen?"

"Huh?"

"Are you... particularly curious about the relationship between me and President Gu?"

How could she not be curious? If she were the one driving, and had to hold back from asking anything until now, she would have likely died from holding it in!
