Zhong Yongliang nodded silently, said no more, and left Gu Pengzhan's office straightaway. He knew Qing Bo would have a hard time sending him back this time, and for fear of making a fool of himself, he did not bring it up.
"Follow him! Find out how Yaoyao is doing." As soon as Zhong Yongliang left the office, Gu Pengzhan quickly instructed Qing Bo.
"Yes, Mr. Gu!" Qing Bo nodded, turned, and left the office as well. Catching up to Zhong Yongliang, who had not gone far, he said, "Mr. Zhong Yongliang, let me drive you back."
Zhong Yongliang was overjoyed at once. What did this mean? It meant Gu Pengzhan still had thoughts of reconciliation? At that thought, Zhong Yongliang's mood became incomparably cheerful, and he grew greatly confident that Gu Pengzhan would eventually agree to the matter!
"Then I'll have to trouble Qing Bo." Zhong Yongliang already carried himself like a son-in-law of the house.
Qing Bo naturally said nothing more. He went downstairs with Zhong Yongliang, got into the car, and only then asked, "Where would Mr. Zhong Yongliang like to go?"
"I'm going home!" Zhong Yongliang thought to himself that he must not let Qing Bo see through him. "Yaoyao is still waiting for me at home. I have to get back soon. If she gets hungry, I'll have to fix her some instant noodles!"
"Oh, since Miss Gu is at your home and you two haven't eaten, then come with me to the hotel to pick up the lunch boxes," Qing Bo said after hearing him. "I prepare them for Miss Gu every day."
"That works too. Give them to me, then." Zhong Yongliang nodded, thinking that at least his dinner was settled this time.
After they went to Pengzhan Grand Hotel to collect the dinner, Qing Bo drove Zhong Yongliang to the foot of his villa. Carrying the meal boxes, Qing Bo made to go upstairs with Zhong Yongliang, but Zhong Yongliang stopped him.
"Mr. Zhong Yongliang, I would like to see Miss Gu and ask whether she needs anything. It is getting late today, so I'm afraid she cannot go back. I will go buy her some toiletries," Qing Bo explained mildly.
"Oh, that. No need!" How could Zhong Yongliang let Qing Bo go up? If Qing Bo went up and did not see Gu Mengyao, would not everything be exposed? He hastily waved his hand. "Qing Bo, Yaoyao surely has no clothes on right now. It would be inconvenient for you to go up!"
"Oh, then you go in first and have her put on some clothes?" Qing Bo suggested.
"That... her body is not convenient, as you know. It is a girl's first time, and it is always a little inconvenient. Wouldn't dressing be suffering for her?" Zhong Yongliang seized the moment to explain. "Besides, the guest rooms in my house all have toiletries. I can just get her a set!"
"Is that so? Then never mind. Go up by yourself, then." Qing Bo handed him the meal boxes, then turned and went back into the car.
Carrying the meal boxes, Zhong Yongliang hurried upstairs to his room. He glanced out the window and saw that Qing Bo's car had already left. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: He's finally gone. I nearly failed to hide it. Thank goodness I, young master, am quick-witted; otherwise I would have capsized in the gutter!
As long as he weathered these two days, once Gu Pengzhan made up his mind, he would see the clouds part and the blue sky. Zhong Yongliang opened the meal box before him with an easy mind and found the dinner inside rather sumptuous. His appetite stirred, and he ate quickly.
In fact, Qing Bo's departure was only an illusion. He had not driven off directly but had circled around, parked the car in a corner, gotten out, and come near Zhong Yongliang's villa, hiding behind a transformer box.
Glancing at the second-floor window, he saw that Zhong Yongliang was still there. Qing Bo breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Zhong Yongliang might slip away in the blink of an eye, but it seemed Zhong Yongliang had not slipped away directly.
