34: Chapter 34 Provocation to Men (1)_1
Because of Gu Mochen’s remark about an ‘indirect kiss,’ the atmosphere in the design department became somewhat eerie for a moment.
Jian Ran’s face turned slightly red as she looked at Gu Mochen in front of her and unnaturally averted her gaze.
Secretary Zhou had tactfully taken the hint and made herself scarce, leaving the space to Gu Mochen and Jian Ran.
The statements made by President Gu were always profound; how could a mortal like herself understand them?
Choosing not to eat the ordered food from a five-star hotel and instead opting for Ms.
Jian’s homemade lunch was just how unusual President Gu was.
…
Watching the man dine elegantly in front of her, Jian Ran suppressed the discontent in her heart, stood up, and squeezed a smile onto her lips.
“President Gu…
please continue eating, I’m going to step out for some fresh air.
It’s lunch break now, and I believe you’re not in the habit of having someone watch you eat, sir.”
“Sit down.”
Was this the domineering CEO?
Jian Ran’s face changed slightly, “President Gu, you…” 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
“After we finish eating, I plan to discuss your bonus from the Dongjiang Group design project with you.”
Jian Ran compromised.
Gu Mochen was truly exceptional, a master at understanding people’s hearts, and had a clear grasp of her thoughts.
“Okay.”
“Good, go heat up the takeout from Blue Sky Building in the microwave for me.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Shameless, eating her lunchbox and still asking her to warm up his takeout!
She was not his nanny.
Despite her disdain, she smiled for the sake of the bonus.
“Okay, President Gu, please wait a moment.”
Gu Mochen responded indifferently, his gaze settling on the nearly empty lunchbox in front of him.
The lunch Jian Ran had made tasted indeed very good.
It had a warm feeling of home…
It had been a long time since he’d eaten such delicious home-cooked food.
…
Jian Ran quickly reheated the takeout and brought it out, its aroma enticing, a form of torture to her hungry self.
“President Gu, your takeout is warmed up.”
“Mm…”
Jian Ran watched as Gu Mochen elegantly took up his chopsticks, having finished his own lunchbox, and now started on the takeout, her teeth itching with hatred.
Gu Mochen tasted each dish superficially; the five-star chef’s preparation was showy but hollow, paling in comparison to Jian Ran’s cooking, and he soon put down his chopsticks.
“I’m full, you eat.”
Jian Ran, who was feeling dejected, perked up at Gu Mochen’s words.
“What?”
“If you don’t eat, I’ll throw it away.
After eating yours, I can’t eat any more.”
“I’ll eat!”
Starving, Jian Ran reluctantly brought the takeout to herself, took the chopsticks from the man, and began to eat daintily.
Soon, Jian Ran realized there was a problem.
The chopsticks in her hand were the very ones Gu Mochen had just handed over to her.
Used by Gu Mochen…
Was this the ‘indirect kiss’ mentioned earlier?
Jian Ran’s whole being became disheveled, her face and ears turning crimson, while Gu Mochen’s deep, whirlpool-like dark eyes stared at the woman in front of him, his lips curling into a smirk that was not quite a smile.
Having taken so many bites already, Jian Ran didn’t want to make a fuss and continued to savor the delicious food in front of her.
Yet, the man insisted on sitting opposite her, refusing to leave.
“President Gu, surely you don’t have a hobby of watching others eat?”
“After eating, it’s not good to exercise; I am aiding my digestion.”
The implication being that he had not intentionally stayed to watch her eat, but was simply aiding digestion,
