Chapter 75: So Easily Embarrassed

Ruan Yu suppressed her anger, telling herself that a smile is worth a thousand fortunes, “Miss Xu, our coffee doesn’t seem to suit your taste. Why don’t you try another shop?”

Xu Jiu glanced at her indifferently, snorted, “What are you afraid of? Boss Ruan, you’re not afraid that I won’t pay, are you? Don’t worry, even if it’s disgusting, it’s on my tab.”

Ruan Yu gritted her teeth, looking at the two cups of coffee on the table. She had only taken a sip of each before rejecting them. It was a real waste, “Miss Xu, as a lady from a prestigious family, don’t you know that waste is shameful?”

Her voice was cold, and she had lost her initial patience.

“There’s business to be done, and you’re not doing it. Are you crazy?” Xu Jiu glared at her impatiently.

She could only blame herself for encountering such a customer. Ruan Yu made two more cups. This was her last tolerance for Xu Jiu.

In the office of t.z Group.

Gu Yan Zhi watched the events unfolding on the monitor, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression cold.

He turned off the screen, picked up his coat, and left the office directly.

Ruan Yu made two more cups of coffee and brought them to Xu Jiu. Xu Jiu slightly tilted her chin, looking down at everyone as if they were inferior to her.

“Miss Xu, please enjoy.”

Xu Jiu saw Ruan Yu’s submissive appearance and curled her lips into a sarcastic smile. As expected, a wild girl is a wild girl. How could she compare to a lady from a prestigious family like her?

She enjoyed the feeling of being superior to Ruan Yu. In the past two days, Ruan Yu had made her feel embarrassed quite a bit.

Today, she was determined to get revenge for the previous grievances. She, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, couldn’t stand that kind of anger.

She picked up the coffee, took a sip, and pretended to frown, ready to lash out, “Your coffee is really a bit too disgusting.”

She looked at Ruan Yu’s delicate face. She had the urge to splash the coffee on her face.

She picked up the coffee on the table, ready to splash it on Ruan Yu.

“Is the coffee not good?” A cold voice came from the doorway, without a trace of warmth.

Xu Jiu’s hand paused. She turned around and looked at the person who had come in. Her face lit up. She put down the coffee in her hand and walked over, “Brother Yan Zhi.”

She reached out to hold Gu Yan Zhi’s wrist, but he dodged her.

Gu Yan Zhi directly ignored Xu Jiu, walked to Ruan Yu’s side, put his arm around her shoulder, and looked at her tenderly, “Make me an Americano, please.”

Xu Jiu was beside herself with jealousy. That was clearly her childhood sweetheart, but now he was directly ignoring her and showing his tenderness to another woman.

Ruan Yu smiled gently at Gu Yan Zhi, “Then you sit down first. I’ll be right back.”

As soon as Ruan Yu left, Gu Yan Zhi’s face turned gloomy. He looked at Xu Jiu, “Is it because the coffee is too good that you ordered so many cups?”

Facing Gu Yan Zhi’s cold expression, the smile on Xu Jiu’s face faltered. She curled her lips, “Sister’s coffee is good.”

She could feel the impatience in Gu Yan Zhi’s eyes.

“Good, then enjoy it slowly. Don’t waste it.” Gu Yan Zhi’s cold gaze fell on the four cups of coffee on the table. His thin lips parted, “Waste is shameful.”

After saying that, Gu Yan Zhi walked towards the sofa in the rest area.

When Ruan Yu brought out the Americano, she saw Xu Jiu in the corner, enduring it, drinking the coffee on the table. She had already finished one cup by the time Ruan Yu came out.

She placed the Americano on the table, a smile playing on her lips, “How did you get here?”

Gu Yan Zhi reached out and pulled Ruan Yu into his arms, his thin lips curling up, “I felt like you needed me, so I came.”

Mu Luo Xi and Ji Sheng were eating a mouthful of dog food, and there was also a vicious gaze.

Mu Luo Xi glared back at Xu Jiu, not to be outdone.

Ruan Yu was a little embarrassed, but Gu Yan Zhi’s hand was tightly around her, and she couldn’t break free, “Did you secretly watch the monitor again?”

“No.” Gu Yan Zhi looked at Ruan Yu with a playful smile, “I was watching my wife.”

Mu Luo Xi and Ji Sheng exchanged glances and shook their heads. They decided they wouldn’t be a third wheel here.

Mu Luo Xi went to clean up the mess after the customers left, occasionally looking at Xu Jiu, “Drink slowly, your Brother Yan Zhi is watching.”

After saying that, she snorted coldly and left.

She deliberately picked a fight, and now she’s reaping what she sowed.

Xu Jiu was so angry that she wanted to lash out. If it weren’t for Gu Yan Zhi, she would have already gone up and cut Mu Luo Xi into a thousand pieces.

She had finished two cups of coffee and couldn’t drink anymore, but Gu Yan Zhi’s gaze kept falling on her.

She knew that Gu Yan Zhi didn’t like girls with a spoiled princess attitude, so she had to endure the feeling of wanting to vomit and slowly sip the coffee.

After finishing the third cup, her stomach churned, and she couldn’t help but want to vomit. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.

Ruan Yu’s gaze followed Xu Jiu’s back. Gu Yan Zhi’s hand turned her face towards him, “Your husband is here, and you still have the heart to look at other people, huh?”

“Your families are close friends.” Ruan Yu said, “Isn’t this a bit too much? Will it affect the relationship between your two families?”

She was a little worried. What Xu Jiu was doing was wrong, but the two families were close friends. She also knew that Gu Yan Zhi was doing this to vent his anger for her.

She clearly knew that Gu Yan Zhi had seen everything on the monitor.

A man as smart as him must have already seen the undercurrents between them that night.

He must also know Xu Jiu’s feelings for him.

“It won’t. Don’t worry, wife.” Gu Yan Zhi reached out and pinched Ruan Yu’s cheek, “Only I can bully my wife.”

He leaned over her ear, his warm breath spraying on her neck, causing Ruan Yu to tremble, her cheeks flushed red.

Gu Yan Zhi laughed and said in a voice that only they could hear, “A Yu is still so sensitive, so easily embarrassed.”

Ruan Yu: “…”

What kind of wild words was this man saying? He was openly flirting with her in broad daylight. It really lived up to the saying, “A wolf in sheep’s clothing, a beast in disguise.”

This sentence was tailor-made for Gu Yan Zhi.

She pressed her small hand against Gu Yan Zhi’s chest, pushed him away, and got out of his arms, “Go ahead and drink your coffee. I’m going to work.”

Looking at her fleeing back, Gu Yan Zhi’s lips curled up into a faint smile. He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Xu Jiu came out of the bathroom and looked at the last cup of coffee on the table. Her gaze then fell on Gu Yan Zhi.

His eyes were cold, and when their eyes met, it was as if she had entered an ice cellar.

She forced herself to finish the last cup of coffee, walked up to Gu Yan Zhi, and said, “Brother Yan Zhi, I have something to do. I’m leaving first.”

Gu Yan Zhi gave a cold “hmm.”

Xu Jiu picked up her bag from the seat and left the coffee shop.

Mu Luo Xi watched Xu Jiu’s back, feeling very happy, “She got what she deserved. A Yu, does she have feelings for your Mr. Gu?”

“You figured it out.” Ruan Yu laughed.

“Of course. Boss Mu, I have eagle eyes.”
