Chapter 15: I Want to Please You

After getting in the car, Xiang Wanqiao leaned over the center console, stretched out her hand, and turned Gu Jingzhan’s face, forcing him to look at her.

She was still bothered by Gu Jingzhan’s reaction when he answered her just now, and asked him again without giving up, Do I look good today?

Yes, you look good.

Gu Jingzhan answered her word by word, and his attitude was always very calm.

Xiang Wanqiao frowned and said unsatisfiedly, If you look good, why are you so calm?

Although the man looked calm on the surface, because Xiang Wanqiao was too close, his heartbeat and breathing could not calm down for a while.

You can lie with your mouth, but you can’t lie with your heart.

Gu Jingzhan’s protruding Adam’s apple slid gently, and he stretched out his hands to hold her slender waist, his voice hoarse: You dressed up so beautifully today just to come to see me and have lunch with me?

Yes! Xiang Wanqiao hooked his eyes with seductive eyes and drew circles on his chest with her fingers. Don’t you like it?

Gu Jingzhan pursed his thin lips and asked tentatively, Why do you do this?

I want to please you.

Hearing this answer, Gu Jingzhan let out a bitter smile from the corner of his lips and loosened his hands on her waist in an instant. He sat up straight and slowly clenched his hands into fists.

No need to be so thoughtful.

Huh? Xiang Wanqiao didn’t understand.

I know you did this for the West City Tourism Resort Development Project. Xiao’s Group is also bidding for this project. You want to help Xiao Xuan get the bottom price of Gu’s Group’s bidding from me, so you have been trying your best to please me these days.

Xiang Wanqiao panicked for a moment and hurriedly explained, No, I didn’t want to help…

I said, I can give you whatever you want. You don’t have to wrong yourself like this.

Gu Jingzhan clenched his hands until his knuckles turned white. He was trying his best to control the devil in his heart, fearing that he would scare her with a sudden outburst.

Divorce agreement…

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Wanqiao turned the man’s face over again, sealing his thin lips with her mouth and blocking all the words he wanted to say.

The kiss ended.

She looked at Gu Jingzhan aggrievedly, Didn’t we agree that you are not allowed to mention divorce in the future?

Isn’t it good for me to let you go?

Gu Jingzhan tried to maintain his calmness and fragile dignity.

No, I don’t want freedom. Xiang Wanqiao held his face with both hands, staring into his eyes without blinking, and said to him affectionately and earnestly: In this life, I just want to stay by your side and love you well.

Hearing this, Gu Jingzhan’s response was silence.

Ah Zhan, believe me, okay?

Qiaoqiao, think about it carefully. After you promise today, you are never allowed to leave me, lie to me, or even…

You are not allowed to see Xiao Xuan, contact him, or have any connection with him, right?

Xiang Wanqiao guessed what he was going to say next, so she interrupted him.

Gu Jingzhan: Yeah.

I promise you everything. Xiang Wanqiao agreed without hesitation.

Gu Jingzhan raised his eyebrows slightly and said half-doubtfully, Really?

Really, I swear! Xiang Wanqiao raised three fingers, saying, If I lie to you, I will…

Before she could finish, Gu Jingzhan put his thumb between her lips, blocking the words she was about to say.

Okay, don’t say anything unlucky.

Then are you willing to believe me?

Yeah.

Xiang Wanqiao happily leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, promising, Don’t worry, I won’t let you down this time.

Gu Jingzhan looked at her gently and reached out to stroke the hair by her ears.

Qiaoqiao, I hope you really won’t let me down this time.

…

Xicuilou

Gu Jingzhan and Xiang Wanqiao had just ordered their dishes when they saw a man swaggering into the private room with a grin on his face, not looking like a serious owner.

Oh, Brother Zhan is here.

Hearing the voice, Xiang Wanqiao looked up at the person who came in.

Qi Xiaoyi, Gu Jingzhan, and Lu Qingzhou are good brothers who grew up together, and he is also the owner of this Xicuilou.

In her previous life, she hated Gu Jingzhan so much that she also hated everyone related to him.

Although she didn’t have much contact with Qi Xiaoyi and Lu Qingzhou, she knew that these two good brothers of Gu Jingzhan supported him 100%.

Qi Xiaoyi was not polite at all. He walked to Gu Jingzhan leisurely, pulled out a chair, and sat down, crossing his legs and adopting a very unrestrained and flamboyant posture.

I just heard the restaurant manager tell me that Brother Zhan is here, so I quickly put down the things I was doing and came here to avoid my people neglecting you.

Gu Jingzhan had a light expression and ignored his joke.

Qi Xiaoyi’s eyes swept past Gu Jingzhan and looked at Xiang Wanqiao, who was sitting on the other side. His face was still smiling, but he was sarcastic as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wow! Isn’t this the eldest daughter of the Xiang family who Brother Zhan married and who is always threatening to die? She was threatening to commit suicide a few days ago; why is she so obedient today?

Xiang Wanqiao: …

Qi Xiaoyi definitely did it on purpose. He knew that what Gu Jingzhan was most concerned about was her threatening to commit suicide a few days ago for a divorce, but now he actually mentioned this matter in front of him.

Isn’t this deliberately embarrassing her?

He really just wants to watch the fun!

Gu Jingzhan’s eyes turned cold in an instant, and his expression became much uglier than before.

Why don’t you talk? Weren’t you very active before? Why are you so quiet now, like a quail? Qi Xiaoyi continued to mock her.

Xiang Wanqiao was not angry either. She smiled and said, So what if I am threatening to commit suicide? If I don’t die once, how can I know who is the one who truly loves me?

As she said that, she held Gu Jingzhan’s fingers tightly.

Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyes and stared at the two people’s tightly clasped hands. His expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and a smile gradually spread from the corners of his tense mouth.

Xiang Wanqiao noticed the changes on his face, threw him a coquettish look, and said sweetly, I have become mature now, and I like men like A Zhan who are mature, stable, capable, handsome, and charming.

It must be said that her words truly touched Gu Jingzhan’s heart.

He smiled dotingly, and his cold eyebrows and eyes were somewhat softened, and the coldness on his body also faded a lot.

Qi Xiaoyi got goosebumps all over his body, shivered, and rolled his eyes at Xiang Wanqiao.

I don’t know if what you said is true or false. He said with disdain, You loved Xiao Xuan’an to death before, and now you say you like a man like Brother Zhan. I’m afraid you have some intentions towards Brother Zhan.

Yes, I do have some intentions towards A Zhan. Xiang Wanqiao admitted.
